Piper Meridian P46T Manteo to Roanoke. Radar vs Nexrad vs Stormscope. Tstorm Avoidance Strategies.

- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Eaglemania plays a big outdoor event in Roanoke, VA in May of 2021. Getting there was relatively easy, but getting home required some strategery, Come sit in the right seat while I demonstrate how I use Nexrad, the onboard Garmin GWX-68 radar, and stormscope to navigate around convective weather. And avoiding the weather wasn't limited to the flyying, but the show must go on!

Jon. As a fellow physician, guitar player and pilot I love your content. I also appreciate you sharing your preflight thought process. We all learn from each other. Thanks again
Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying these. We are a rare breed - MD/pilot/musician! Hope our paths cross someday soon.
Always makes my day when your new stuff pops up. Great editing, and narration in the closing when you lost audio.
Thank you and thanks for reaching out. Especially happy that you liked the narration - that always feels tricky to me when that happens so I'm glad that there are those out there who can get something out of all that..
Another great video Jon. Really appreciate the attention to detail and your explanation of the how and why of things like the use of radar and your personal limits on cloud penetration. Looking forward to the next video!
Thank you and so glad you like. Lots more to come.
This was a very interesting episode - really enjoyed the level of detail into the planning and execution of the flight, editing, and narration.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The airport you landed at (I assume your "home base") is the same airport I took a ride to/from this summer. My wife's family rented a house in Corolla and my two sons and I took an OBX Airplanes tour of Roanoke Island. We all really enjoyed it. That airport and the sights around it are amazing. Thanks for the video.
Thank you! I'm based there and in N NJ.
I love the way you plan and execute youre ifr flights! Keep the videos coming!!!
Thank you! Thanks for reaching out.
Great video - Thanks for letting us ride along.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it.
Love the details in the preflight and explaining thought processes. Keep posting!
Thanks, will do!
Excellent video on weather flying. Happy to see you mention the value of a StormScope in your flying. As someone who flies a non-radar equipped plane, the StormScope has become a valuable tool to help make sense of what I am seeing on a weather delayed SiriusXM radar view and what the StormScope says is out there.
Im glad you noticed that. I don't use the stormscope as much as I would like and thats probably because I am least comfortable with it compared to Nexrad and radar. Thanks for reaching out and I am glad you are enjoying them!
Another great example of flight planning and reacting to changing conditions. And thanks for the lesson on use of radar!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Jon...Thanks for another excellent learning experience!
My pleasure! More to come.
Great trip, Jon; thanks...again!
Glad you enjoyed it
59-year-old physician here with PPL just beginning IFR training, I wish I had done this during my 20s like you but was just so incredibly busy, not sure how you possibly had the time !
Dave, Flying during my Gen Surg residency was tough, but I managed to add a ton of ratings and do a year of competition aerobatics. Amazing what you can do when you are young and sleep means little. Thanks for reaching out!
Always great to have a new video of your travels. Thanks for taking the time time to share.
My pleasure and thank you for watching and reaching out.
Nice video. You set an excellent example for IFR pilots. I will speak at a couple of MMOPA events at Coeur d'Alene, ID and Tucson later this year. I hope we can meet.
Thank you! That means a lot. Yes, always looking forward to crossing paths with Meridian experts. Not sure I'll make it all the way out there, but I am sure we will cross paths sometime soon...OSH? Thanks for reaching out?
@@lifeinthefl94 I'm hardly a Meridian expert, but Dianne has asked me to talk about IFR operations and a bit about LOC and stall-spin issues.
Awesome video and explanation.
Glad you liked it!
incredible content. so educational and inspirational. thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Always enjoy your flight videos.
Glad to hear that!
Jon, another great video! Was in your area last weekend, was listening for 9DA on freq. Love to hear your strategy on radar. Keep the videos coming, Thank you!
Will do! Thank you and thanks for reaching out!
Jon. Excellent!!!
Thank you so much!
Nice flight Jon! Looks like a great venue!
Thank you! It was!
MORE RADAR PLEASE!!!!!!
Not until I play some MORE COWBELL!!
Great piloting skills. Very professional.
What’s the purpose of the clear shield in front of the drums?
Thank you!! The shield keeps the drum sounds from overwhelming the many vocal mics that we have lined up at the front of the stage. Without it, it becomes very difficult to mix the band properly.
very helpful, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
1. I did not realize you are an MD. Is there a vlog about that journey? That seems like it would be an interesting story- med school, flight training, drums. That’s a great mix of skills.
2. I flew my family from the Chicago area to Manteo in a Bonanza in 2015. It was fantastic! But I didn’t get the services from a control tower at Manteo. When did that occur? I see no mention of it in the A/FD.
Rocky - Thank you! No vlog about the MD journey... I'm already 20y out of training, so that story is stale ;-). Manteo keeps their tower active over the summer. Not sure if it was even there in 2015. Glad you like the channel and thanks for reaching out.
@@lifeinthefl94 you’re welcome. I appreciate your videos. I’m hoping I’ll be able to see Eaglemania when you guys are in the Chicago area in a few months.
You do excellent quality videos. I like to see your preflight planning and everything.
Glad you like them!
Jon, Didn't quite follow your radar procedure while in cruise...you get the ground returns on top 1/3 of display (to identify ground), and then from that tilt setting, you adjust tilt up another 1 degree per 10,000' ? So, if you are at 0.5 degrees with ground return, and at flight level 280, you will add 3 degrees and set radar tilt at 3.5 degrees ? Like you said, radar use is a real art best learned with a highly experienced radar mentor to show the way.... Enjoy your content, it's extremely well done. Regards from a fellow Single turbine pilot (TBM).
Alan - exactly. Usually, the ground comes in at around -1 to -1.5 degrees tilt, and I end up scanning in the 2-2.5 degree tilt up. This enables me to scan (while at FL280 or FL300) from about 10,000' upwards, as this is where the cells that I worry about are. If you do the math using simple trigonometry using a 30,000' altitude, 40nm x 6000'ft/nm, and a 10deg beam width, I think you will find that my rule works out pretty well. It is an exercise worth doing to convince yourself. Thanks for reaching out.
How many hours did you have until you got comfortable with the Meridian?
I had about 1800h TT when I bought it and felt very confident in it after about 200h. Its not the airplane - it was the situations that the airplane can get you into that was biggest adjustment.
niiiiiccccceeeee!
Thank you!
Looks like you updated to NXI! What do you think?
LOVE IT. I didnt make a big deal about it in the Vlog because it could be a whole episode onto itself. VERY happy with it and strongly recommend if you're eligible.
These WX briefings is exactly what I want to understand and master as a 20 hr student pilot.... What were some keys to learning WX like this??
Thank you! Great question. I believe that it doesn't have to be as complicated as they make it seem. You do not need to be a meteorologist to be a safe pilot these days, given what is out there. If you follow my briefing regimen (which is the same no matter how far or how big or small the plane I am flying) that should be good. Just know yourself and set your own limits, and above all as you progress through your flying experience, know your airplane and what it is capable of and, more importantly, what it isn't.
Dang, I had no idea trib bands paid so well. Listen, ya'll need some cowbell??
Lol for real!
4 million plane 200 crowd i need that accountant
