Flight 50 – Complex Cross-Country – Simulated IFR VOR 14 KMIE, GPS 19 I68

One more simulated IFR cross-country to Muncie, but this time we did get to shoot the approach to runway 14. I have to say that I like the ILS approaches better than the timed legs of the VOR approaches, but it is what it is. With today’s flight, I just have 1.5 needed to get […]

Flight 49 – Complex Cross-Country – Simulated IFR VOR/GPS Approaches

We went out tonight to some poor weather, the ceilings were relatively high, but there was occasional rain showers underneath and the threat of convective activity. So we decided to fly towards the weather, and then beat our way back home in case it got worse. As it turns out the weather was getting a […]

Flight 48 – Complex Cross-Country – Simulated IFR

Flight 47 – Complex Cross-Country – Simulated IFR

This evening Pete and I went out and decided to get some real time on my “required” 10 hours for the complex while getting ahead of the game on my IFR ticket, which he knows that I also want to pursue. So we took off and headed for Port Columbus International for a simulated IFR […]

Flight 46 – Starting my Complex Endorsement

I’m now starting to get my complex endorsement, not really because I need it, but it’s good to have, but rather mostly because it puts me in a different airplane. I’m going to try to fly as many different airplanes as I can before inviting John from the factory to come up and do my […]

Flight 45 – High Performance Endorsement

Well, for weeks I’ve been trying to get my high performance check out with Aviator’s Flight Academy/Blue Ash Aviation, but they just don’t have enough instructor time available to get it done. Luckily Elizabeth finally recommended I check out Sporty’s, and it turns out they too do have a Cessna 182 for rent. Also, they […]
