  • Ever heard the term "pucker factor?" Well, we were puckered up for this one. This is about as low as you can get on an approach. Whew.

    I love IMC. And this is an example of why I was taught to remain skeptical on an approach that you'll get in, and assume you'll go missed. Psychologically it relieves the burden of making a decision so to speak, and procedurally it forces you to be ready before you begin the missed approach (not only to brief, but frequencies of any navaids already on standby). The funny thing is one of my lowest approaches was not indicated as such on the METARS just as I was beginning the descent. There was a ball of moisture sitting just over Martha's Vineyard as I was coming in, and a Jet Blue 737 was coming in first. I knew I would be using the procedure to descend but the METAR (which was old) indicated marginal conditions. Needless to say there was about a 400' solid ceiling above the airport (100' above minimums for the procedure) when I was cleared on the approach, but because the METAR only reported that as scattered at that level I had no idea how low it was going to be once everything turned grey and rainy/misty. But I went in with the mentality of assuming I wouldn't make it down, that I would have to return to the mainland where the weather was VFR, but ultimately I made it in and it was nice and clear after the cloud deck was penetrated. After I shut down I looked at the METAR again on Foreflight and it had changed of course to low-IFR/light pink, to which I exclaimed aloud, "no s*%t." ;).

    Josh, best video of yours so far. As a PPL almost ready for my instrument, this was a perfect example of flying in IMC right down to minimums, when almost all of my 40plus IFR hours are under the foggles. You are spot on - having a second instrument-rated pilot in the right seat is priceless. Thanks for sharing this one!

    I appreciate you both being honest about how tense, for lack of better term, that approach was. Obviously you both did a wonderful job flying but you could see the relief on your faces when you two were in the hangar. For a low time pilot that says a lot, that it's ok to be nervous but follow your training. Wonderful video.

Awesome communication between the two of you, the CRM was without a doubt first class, textbook, airline standards if I may say. You're a hell of a mentor to me and hundreds of thousands of other pilots. Stay safe my friend.

    Very nice Josh. I'm about to finish my MCC, so this video landed right in time. You both did a really nice job splitting tasks and making use of the resources you had at disposal. Overall, what makes good CRM is communication and clear task splitting with both knowing who has the lead but knowing that you're "flying" as well as the pilot monitoring and that you need to point out when something's not right and keep the PF in the loop as well as the other way around (closed loop principle). Real training in CRM takes time and experience but your video was a great example of the essentials! Thanks for sharing and greetings from Switzerland.

  • @howtimflies204
    @howtimflies204 3 роки тому +3

    Very nice. Thank you for the "VFR" distance call out. I think as instrument pilots we get caught up in the approach and even though there was no VFR traffic it's a good habit to announce where you are like '8 miles out straight in runway 34' so they understand. VFR traffic doesn't usually know fixes on an instrument approach so to say you're at PAXXE intersection on RNAV 34 doesn't let them know where you are.
