Flying Blind! Instrument Approach New Orleans! 

hi dad.you have to be very proud of kay.i am.love watching her fly

Kay.... love the tutorial...reinforces my entire life thought process...flying isn't everything.. it's the "ONLY THING"...!...

Flying around in and above the clouds is super FUN. Back in the day, my instructor's students would cancel their classes for the day. Frank would call me and we would go play. This was in and around Raleigh. Great landing lady.... You landed soft and smooth. In other words you greased it. Having Pops with you helps... Less work for you. Less in this case, is more! Have FUN and stay out of clouds that have rocks in them....

I was slightly different, but wonderful none the less! I like hearing you narrate after the fact while watching you fly in the moment! Thank you!

interestingly enough, I never had any issues trusting my instruments. My flight instructor really solidified in my mind just how easily our senses deceive us, and that stuck so firmly, that I've never had an issue disregarding my errant senses. I love that you are flying a 1968 aircraft. I've told many of my friends who are interested in flying that older planes can be purchased for good prices, and they are fun and reliable due to requirements for getting an airworthiness certificate for them. Great call staying IFR too. You really hit some soup there. Fly safe and keep the blue side up!

I love this woman ! So much confidence!

Your video's and airplane remind me of a time when I flew nearly every week day for 3 weeks with a guy that owned a Cherokee 160. He was VFR rated but was training for his IFR cert. Thank goodness he had learned enough because we came into Chesapeake, VA in pea soup fog and had to rely on the ATC to guide us in. It was three weeks of that I really enjoyed. You have a beautiful airplane and I really enjoy your videos.

Love it. I'm in instrument training now and it helps to see it actually being done without all of the minute details. Approaches are fun! Thanks for sharing!

I love following your podcast!

Cool video, thanks for sharing! For almost a decade, my commute to and from work went over what we call "the highrise," that tall bridge on I-10 that goes over the industrial canal right by the airport. I always loved when the timing was right and a plane would fly right over my head on their final approach!

Wow you Pilots are so cool!! Keep on flyin Kay!!! You’re so awesome and inspiring😊😊😊

Great job!😊

Thanks for this fascinating video. You are so conscientious about flying, as always, and I love seeing and hearing what's going on every minute. Hey Pops! 👋

Getting my instrument rating now. Haven't hit any IMC yet but my instructor said I will become quickly confused from what my body is telling me compared to the instruments. She said it will get better with time. So far its fun to learn.

Hi Kay Great job, you make it look easy. Thanks for sharing

Thank you Kay!!! I love watching you have a safe and wonderful holiday weekend

Enjoyed. I got my start at this New Orleans airport in a Cessna 150. Good call on staying on instruments.

That was really neat , thx for share captain Kay 😎

Fantastic landing have a great holiday great flight thanks for sharing

Always nice to have a second set of eyes and hands.....great video

It's very nice flying in bumpy IMC like that with the GFC500 backing you up. Great work.

Awesome stuff! Keep it up and happy holidays

Great video. I did enjoy the commentary. I am instrument rated as well. I bet you’re a wonderful instructor.

Merry Christmas and IFR flying is what it’s all about

Merry Christmas and happy flying!

Great job

Your dad is awesome!

Flying an instrument approach is better with a second set of eyes and experience. Great video.

Nice flying.

Great video

Fantastic approach & landing

Thanks great video keep up the good work

Great video!

Just found your channel and im immediately hooked LOL. Subbed you and hi from the UK.

So shout out to you and your dad for making these videos, and inspiring another generation of aviators to fly safe. I myself could never fly a prop airplane, because those blades spinning out there would absolutely drive me bananas. So congratulations on another successful trip, as every landing you walk away from is a good landing. Cheers🥂

That was awesome 👌. You are the best!

Ya know, I did all the stuff you’re showing, back in the 80’s when I was in my 20’s and 30’s. I was very competent at it. But looking back, if I’d really been competent I would have said to myself “Self, don’t do this.” In the 900 hours I logged before I was 32 years old, in my 1983 B36 TC Bonanza I brought home from Wichita (yeah I was a rich kid) I had only one engine failure. All the oil blew out through a failed prop shaft gasket. Had that failure occurred the night before on an IFR flight through rain with zero visibility from Ontario to Oxnard Ca until I broke out a minimums on the ILS, I’d most likely be dead. Back then all of us GA pilots took those kinds of risks. We even took our families along on those flights. But times change. What was considered acceptable risk 35 years ago appears to me to be unacceptable now. I hope you keep this in mind.

So awesome.

Thanks for the vid. Don’t get to see instrument ones very often

Excellent centerline landing!

There you go : the first man in a woman's life is DAD, to give her direction , love and self confidence

I started flying in 1956 piper PA 11, etc, etc. while in the air force and now in the year 2000 I have over 2300 hours in the B 7373-800. It is easy but the landings are always the most important part.

I could watch you fly all day

You made the best of a difficult situation for your videos, it really is a bummer to not have any audio for this one...

I really do envy you. I am 64 and the biggest regret of my life is not getting my pilots license. I follow you on all the media, love the videos.

I bet your dad is proud of you and your accomplishments!

Well done❤

Cool to see this ..got my PPL at Lakefront in 1985…..

Nice!

Hi Ya Pop.

This was so good that I have to subscribe 😅

5 stars 🎉

Curious about your avionics set up- any chance you’d do a video on your panel?

This lovely female pilot tells me that school kids are learning to fly at a very early age Wow what a school kid!!!

I’m enjoying your videos and trying to catch up after discovering you today. I have no critique but I’d love to see you have shoulder harnesses installed. :-)

Shout out to Paps!

I used to have a 180! It was a great little airplane. I got my instrument rating in it years ago. Now I have a 79 Archer. I'd love to have the avionics you have in my plane. But.... to expensive.. I'll have to stick to my steam gauges and KNS80.

couldn't tell if you were flying into Lakefront or MSY until you landed.

Great Job! Is Pops a pilot?

Nice landing! Was it difficult to fly with the sunglasses on a cloudy day?

Flying TO New Orleans is sensible. Flying INTO New Orleans will leave a mark.

Very beautiful girl and good work!!😍😍😍😍

Glad you didn’t get hurt lol

I do some of my flight training at KNEW, would have been cool to meet n greet! Quick question, you said you wanted to log the approach, we’re you able to? Seemed like the visibility was sufficient at FAF, or did you have foggles? Is Pops a CFII, or does he just enjoy going on the flights with you?

Did you log this approach? Doesnt seem like you were IMC past the FAF

Pops looks awfully grumpy!

Was it really a IFR or VFR approach.

Even your hair is tired. Thanks for talking a little slower when explaining each step. How do I practice understanding all the fast talking with ATC. Josh Flowers previously explained that it helps to know what to expect before a call.

So what you're saying is you could've gone visual and opened up the approach for that stack of planes you said was waiting to get in but you decided to continue in to "log" the approach and keep those other pilots holding in IMC while they wait for you to shoot an approach in VMC in your Cherokee at 90 knots? Cool. Got it. You know that once you fly any portion of the approach in IMC you can log it, right? Even if you go visual at some point.

If there is only one runway in use, cancelling IFR and proceeding VFR will get you nothing but a vector to follow the aircraft ahead of you.

Did you land in kmsy airport

Your dad looks like he's in his 30's! He must be so proud of you!?!

Which New Orleans airport did you use on this flight?

Is Pops instrument rated too?

So cool. You look like iceman and your dad looks nervous 😟

you flew over my house

why no audio on the clip?

RU planning to get to 1500 hours and fly for the much needed pilot shortage with the airlines ?

You mean to say New Orleans Lakefront Airport (NEW) not MSY.

Is your Dad also a pilot?

Which airport?

Great great video, i am a new subscriber.... Can you shout out the type of approach you are setting up for... ILS/NDB/RNAV etc etc

The FAA wouldn't let me get a pilot license cause of my medical problem

Where is Mom

JFK Junior lost his life and those of his beautiful wife and sister-in-law by flying IFR when he was not rated as such. He augured into the ocean.

the woman on the thumbnail does not look anything like you?

No radio calls, ugggg

You shouldn’t feel comfortable, you should feel alert learn it what can go wrong will one day. Be ready not comfortable

too much commentary. Just wanted to enjoy the flight with atc. had to lower the volumes. annoying

Any average pilot can do it, with the instructor sitting ready to correct your mistakes, take him out and make it real and it's a whole different ending. Oh btw you talk like your doing dictation 60 words a minute.

KAY YOU ARE A ROLE MODEL TO SO MANY YOUNG GIRLS STUCK IN DEAD END JOBS. YOU ARE DOING IT!! STAY SAFE. PS. DOES POP HAVE ANY RATINGS?

Why did u put that awful music?!
