Flying

It's been 5 weeks and my airplane is still in the shop.

I have been itching to get into the air, so I decided to rent from the school and get some practice in.

Will be starting lessons again to earn my CFI.

Taking the Centurion in for it's annual inspection 2 months early.
A quick trip from Tracy to Stockton in the Centurion.

Decided to take a flight in the Centurion around Half Moon Bay directly over the top of San Jose.

For this video, I'm trying some new editing techniques such as quick cuts and motion tracking call outs. Would love to hear your feedback.

Decided to take the airplane for a quick flight over to Columbia California The K-Factor setting on the MVP-50 is better but still not right. #Cessna​ #Centurion​ #T210​ #KTCY​ #O22

In this video, I take an evening flight around the valley and realize I had the engine management system automatically reconfigure itself based on fuel load, which changed the K-Factor causing the flow to read really low.

The K-factor is a constant, referring to the number of measurable pulses required for a given volume of fuel to pass through the point where flow is being measured.

I discuss flying in the evening and at night

A follow up to last week's video where I complete the ILS 29R into Modesto. Some mistakes were made, but I learned some things.

I do some IFR approaches today with some low cloud cover and fog.

The cameras didn't last for all 4, but I captured the first 2. Here is a VOR-A into Oakdale (O27). The airport went VMC while I was on my way there.
