    Thank you all for the AWESOME feedback! We left a lot of the technical flying jargon in this video since that has been requested a bunch, and I'm glad y'all liked the video. Many are asking why I flew into MSY instead of a "less busy" airport "better suited for GA." I'm picking Chelsea up at the passenger terminal at MSY, so there's one good reason to fly into MSY. The fuel at NEW (lakefront), for example, is $6.01/gal. The fuel at MSY is $6.41/gal. That means a top-off for me will cost $15 more at MSY. The passenger terminal is 24 minutes one-way from Lakefront... it's 2 minutes from MSY FBOs. That close convenience is worth $15 for me based on time alone, and flying into a Bravo airport in a slower GA aircraft is no issue if you know how to stay on top of things. I hope that clears things up for you all!

      Even airnav.com has multiple aeronautical maps of most locations. Just search for an airport he's flying from or near and you should have lots of options (and it's all free).

  • @Wpilot673

    excellent video . I also use the three strikes rule. Obviously weather is a huge factor but I also I include it for odd things like, forgot my keys, tripped over the landing gear, got a ticket on the way to the airport, left my iPad at home, left my Stratus 2 on the charger at home . ( YES , those have all happened in the past . ) Basically if those start adding up I will call off the flight because I figure I'm having a bad day on the ground and don't want to have a bad day in the air. Probably illogical but it works for me .

    • @jbreezy101
      @jbreezy101 Рік тому +1

    When I did my commercial cross country to Shreveport, LA (KHYI->KDTN) I too got a direct KCLL after filing the ILEXY departure. Always appreciate the little short cut ATC usually provides. Couldn't agree more with the feeling of going from gloomy world under the overcast to beautiful blue skies above on top. That's why the Instrument Rating is so AWESOME!!

    I really like the way you plan. I wish I had been home, I probably would have heard you on the scanner. I heard your dad a few months ago and watched him on Flightradar24. IFR to CLL, Wharton if I remember right, VCT, then home. Wow... 200' minimums. Decades ago, before GPS approaches (RNAV was really a radio), I remember minimums (during training) were 500'. Nice flight. I'm headed over to Cockpit Club to see what I've missed

    Hello, I see very soon you are getting a new Powerflow Exhaust! Great system and very highly recommended. You also my want to look into a Maple Leaf Exhaust Fairing to install with your PF. My friends C172N with his PF and now the fairing sees about 20F decrease in CHT’s with the exhaust fairing installed. Think about it and ask around. PF sells them and so does Maple Leaf out of Canada. Good luck and please tell us what you think of your new exhaust 👍✈️

    * looks like a busy time, with powerplant work on 991
    * the new tail (empennage) camera is 'good'.
    * you seemed to fly between the two stratus cloud layers. I'm interested if you predicted that or from local experience/seasonal weather pattern?
    Thanks.....for taking us along!
