VOR/DME Approach into Catalina KAVX 

Nice Video! Situational awareness is always key. You caught it quick, nice job!

I do have the full flight, beginning to end with audio from Brackett KPOC to Catalina KAVX, would anyone want me to post that? It is long about 33 minutes.

Sure will watch all 33 min of the flight and enjoy every second. Thanks for another nice video.

Thank you for posting, I was always wondering if I should fly IFR to KAVX, this video gave me a good inside on what to expect in IMC,

Nice flare and touchdown...thanks for posting.

So good to see you back.

This is the best aviation vlog on you tube!

You are a pro! I love the way you ask the act guy, cool :)

Nice flight. I've only flown this approach in a sim (X-Plane) but as a real world non-IFR rated pilot I appreciate how easy it is to lose situational awareness. Good job.

I am a fresh helicopter pilot in KLGB, I watched all your videos and learn a lot! like your videos very much man! you must be a very good instructor! hopping to see your new play

Good approach and video.. gives everyone a good idea of what to expect on ifr to catalina. Cloud later was gnarly

GREAT LANDING AND THX 4 POSTING !

Great landing, great video!

Cool video, thanks for sharing and good catch on the wrong heading by ATC.

You are back! I missed you

In MSFS, I landed a Beechcraft Baron 58, Cessna 182, and a Beechcraft King Air 350 into Catalina. BTW nice job on the landing!

You have my likes for life......good content.

Nice landing. Sit. awareness always critical. Good call on the 150.

Nice landing Catalina has a rough runway. I am finally taking IFR training at KMYF in San Diego and I enjoy watching your IFR videos. Cheers!

lovely video

+Erik Solberg I fly a lot of different planes, some have moving map GPS's, some have Garmin GPS's, some have none except my iPad and foreflight. But I only have the $75 version of foreflight, not the $140 which also has geo-referenced plates.

Nice video. I've done this approach in a simulator but it was great seeing this in a real flight.

Great piloting, thinking about the 150 heading.

I found it, yes you got it here. Wonderful. Thanks!

Hi GVad, Some nice videos. Tell me-have you got the camera attached to your head and how are you doing this?

Thanks

Great video. One suggestion I'd like to make is that if you are being vectored to the final approach course, the intercept angle is going to be no more than 30 degrees. ATC tends to use either 20 or 30 degrees, but it won't be more than 30. Based on that, you can predict what the final heading is going to be well before the approach clearance is issue. Since you were coming from the east, you would expect a 190-200 hdg to join (20-30 intercept, respectively). In this case, as you can see, ATC ultimately issued the 190 heading once prompted. Knowing the number in advance means that if you receive a bogus heading (or your mis-hear what the controller says), you can see clarification immediately. In your case, you actually caught it relatively quickly, but even so, it's good to arrive fore-armed with that information so that you can process the heading instantly and know if it's a "good" heading.

Awesome,, love it ,

How much flying time do you get with CAP?

You're too smart for atc!

Yeah but I got a while to start it tho waiting on my checkride for private, but I have heard it hard, is that true? I mean I could only imagine flying under the hood will be tough.

How is the video captured with both PIC and ATC radios?

You got your cfi? I'm finishing my private, ready to start on my instruments.

What does ATCO say at 2:02 ? "I thought you were" ?

Sweet ass landing!

what would u do in a situation where tower gives u a wrong heading

"CAP499". Very familiar...

Can I ask, what aircraft is that?

i'm curious, how old are you?, it's impressive that you fly all over the place and in clouds, you must have your instrument rating

How much does it cost to get ur pilots licence

Damn, I hope I do good, but thanks tho

why you didn't fly PT?

Good Pilot!!!
