no Vepr trip before delta-tango I'm showing pretty much the winds gusting up to at least 45 44 miles per hour pretty much all the satellite airports within the Panhandle affected our day started out normal enough except for the hotel that was completely empty due to the coronavirus renovate the Kansas this morning after a scrub trip to Chicago due to a failure with our ice boots the plan today is to head back to Phoenix with a stop refuel and all her Texas well before delta-tango on departure TURN RIGHT heading two one zero maintain 5,000 now for me one ain't take a right to G 1 z run up to $5,000 before death Tango third take up okay hey 5,000 and heading of to10 is set and it looks like the winds coming right down the run maybe slightly from the right okay takeoff power is set and airspeed is coming up [Music] I'm gonna turn that yolk just slightly to the right okay there we go [Music] bounty yeah all right gears up and now before del tango contact apart today over departure a good day for don't Roch Melba 444 Delft tango one five thousand four or five thousand now we'll do the 4 4 4 Delta Kangaskhan city departure I can international 239 or seven three seven three and ident 4 4 Delta tango we're also on heading into one zero therefore Delta tango radar contact a mile southwest a century an executive airport altitude in the case one thousand at Schneider hundred altitude checks Melvin for dope bangle AC 40 50 90 so a swim line of light to moderate reciprocation at your 9:00 to 10:00 o'clock and six miles it extends to the mouth the car thief looks like insecure depression well kind of patchy isn't okay they know you continue present heading if you like them okay so I see they're gonna keep us on two one zero and keep us out of the new century if anybody put you take their cut in Iowa one that'll earn these 600 so all right fuel flow is good temperatures are looking good amps and faulty 48:59 cash at Kansas City Center 25 flakies life all right let's clean up this landing light is awful leave strobe and navs on for right now and 3200 for 5000 and what kind of head winds are we expecting on the way home remember for Delta tango climb and maintain one four thousand fly heading two four zero one four thousand and two four zero four Delta angle therefore Delta tango contact Kansas City Center one to seven point seven to twenty seven 72 Ford elf night of nights back Nvidia truth well I'll just say with me down to 7,000 said chef 549 senator good morning Malibu 444 delta-tango 4804 1/4 s number 444 Delta tango campus kinda Roger Kinsale ten fifty nine or seven five Niner seven five and I forgot to mention we're on a heading two four zero so you know I'm looking here and I don't think we need to go the 14,000 senator velvet for del tango request November 4 4 4 Delta tango theater class yes sir we'd like to hold it at 8000 and possible it's we're between layers nice and smooth here number 4 4 4 Delta tango through physical estate maintain 8,000 8,000 for Delta Channel 12:07 can 50 senator Rogers kinda maintain one 2,000 cam video scimitar t9 or 7-5 don't know what 2575 in Twilight Suleiman okay there is 8,000 feet and will let air speed build here beautiful out there then all right stir come back on the power here all right cruise power is set I'm not going to touch pressurization because that is good right wear it while I do the seven contact entity approach one two three point nine or five today what 23 does I said four five five so I choose number for sports for delta-tango if you want to make eight thousand your final or if you still want to continue a fine later on I'd like to make a thousand or final again number 4 4 4 Delta 2000 Roger I'll show 8,000 of your final board ok oh thanks and now you still want to sign a heading 2 for 0 correct number 444 Delta tango deeply corrected para airport their direct port openings we stopped briefly in Wichita for lunch with some friends and it was on to dull heart Texas for some gas the winds and all heart this morning were from the Northwest at 15 gusting to 20 for of it is you'll see they got worse during the course of the day in the interest of time I'm gonna skip ahead to what unfolded as we got closer to dull heart so we're showing about 30 minutes out from dart where we're stopping on our way back to Phoenix today and right now in dull heart wind is 2 4 0 at 34 gusting to 51 and a runway there is two one oh yeah I don't like that at all we're gonna start looking at some alternatives here so anyway it's been a smooth flight otherwise you can see that our path out of the Kansas area literally I mean this is incredible so there is I don't know how well yeah I do actually that's a 500 mile line of thunderstorms November trip before delta-tango I'm showing pretty much the winds gusting up to at least 45 44 miles per hour pretty much all the satellite airports within the Panhandle Texas for jumps tango we're gonna go ahead and stick with our heart for now and we'll let you know if anything changes better November for delta-tango high of lower for you here in a couple minutes or don't thing with thanks okay so I'm gonna do a little wind calculation here and see if if this even works for us so the runway heading is two one zero the wind direction is two four zero and let's go back and looked at what was the wind speed there huh do you remember [Music] okay I'm gonna thirty-four gusting to 51 that's crazy there's another 133 gusting at 40 - yeah he just said all the satellite here for it sir are pretty much the same exactly so that's a little better which one that's going at a New Mexico but Airport is that Santa Rosa yeah if we have enough fuel uh uh yeah we do and let's check to compare here real quick and see that was a little too 5-0 at 33 Gustav oh right that was pretty high thank you five zero total 5125 in it yep they got any six I think I probably have my avi phone number 37 with none here about the third okay so to compare ease an option I like Santa Rosa though okay okay so you're looking at Anna Rosa which is sxu right okay let's take a look at that one okay 27 Gustav 38 coming from two six zero and the runway is to six I like that alarm proposal for delta-tango dependable discretion within seven thousand four delta-tango I think we're gonna I think we're gonna reroute here if you give us just about 60 seconds we'll have it worked out the record of saying a rather my thing once Excel then let me know so you're playing it 16.4 del tango now the question is do they have fuel yeah for $4.95 Mexico kills me why do they charge a fortune for gas okay all right Center Malibu for Delta tango we'd like to change our destination to Santa Rosa that's a Serie x-ray uniform hopeful for dos theoretically the Santa Rosa Airport via the rig anything one six thousand Kyrgyzstan Rosa direct and one six thousand for a Melvin for del tango okay [Music] suppose I put fun about 90 Albuquerque Sun ready activation should be a left turn and yes it is all right so we are direct to Santa Rosa now limbs from two six zero twenty seven to thirty eight and it's coming right down the runway so we'll take that all day long we're back with you now about 28 minutes out from Santa Rosa and looking at the winds two six zero at twenty four Agustin to 39 so we'll plan on runway two five and he's gonna have to descend us here pretty quick center melody for deaf tango looking for lower when able now move toward up tango rejig maintain one zero thousand one's your thousand four don't hang up okay welcome pastor where can I put one or one to four let's turn on power back now just simply because if we start getting too fast these bumps are gonna okay magnify I'll do for delta-tango connects Albuquerque Center one to 6.85 2685 for don't fail senator Malibu for for for Delta tango one 5800 for what zero thousand haystack on on different frequencies November for for for just a single Albuquerque Center Roger can carry altimeter to 9 or 8 1 9 or 8 1 4 mm except in 538 Albuquerque's Santa Monica destiny remember for Delta tango descend maintain a thousand at four strokes off 33 miles before in sight down to 8,000 and Melbourne for del tango has the airport in sight semaphore top senior services Santa Rosa and translates to the papacy or us unable to fight some cases frequency is a booth there for the visual Santa Rosa Melba for Delta angle we'll go ahead and cancel with you now I'm afford a single happy cancellations bump if our physical changes room you have a good name today Portofino alright so now we are squawking VFR and we're gonna head over whether in exchange 5 euro hat - 7 just for zero visibility 1 0 clear below 1 mm temperature 1 for Sophia - points - for altimeter two-niner each each remote density altitude 5900 all right we have the minute weather so what I've done is I've loaded a visual approach to runway 2 6 and as you can see here that that gives me a three nautical mile mark automatically so what I'm going to do is to go direct now to that dream ok this kit hey we're getting bounced all over the place so I apologize for the bad camera work here so now we should have a direct to the three mile yeah I'm not even gonna try and hold this camera it's ridiculous though you can see it here we're direct to a three mile final for runway 2 6 all right I'm gonna check back in with a wasjust even exchanged better Rosa will click the fix oh boy automated weather observation 2 2 5 1 0 weather wind 2 4 0 ABB's Panama 7 gust four zero visibility 1 0 clear below 1000 disturb one for Sofia dewpoint minus 5 altimeter two-niner 8 8 remark density altitude 5900 okay let's get Wow I'm glad I have my seatbelt on yeah Santa Rosa traffic Malibu for delta-tango is on a five mile final for runway two sixth in orissa alright spoilers are coming back in I'm gonna go ahead and drop the gear now [Music] and yeah three green we'll go ahead do our gums check now so gas is on the fullest tank undercarriage down and locked excuse me mixture is now full rich prop I'm going to put right there and I got the runway in sight their speeds good and we are going to do a no flap landing because of the gusts [Music] all right there we go we rolling down [Music] and I'm showing a 36 knot head went here right off the nose [Music] all right come back on the power a little bit [Music] it's gusty yes I did [Music] five hundred Santa Rosa traffic now before delta-tango is on a one and a half mile straight in four to six Santa Rosa I want to come over the threshold at 90 with no flaps right now it is just a workout to try and manage the center line all right 100 knots that's good I mean would you let me know if my airspeed gets down below 90 yes is not belong ID okay nope [Music] I'm gonna freeze here and explain what's about to happen I've just touched down with no flaps and 90 knots indicated vs on this plane is 69 knots as you'll see I catch a gust and go airborne again yeah still at 90 knots indicated I bring in the throttle to go around and nothing happens within seconds I lose 20 knots and come down with a hard landing okay wow it's windy I'll split the screen with synchronized views because it's interesting to see what happens to the manifold pressure as I come over the numbers watch the engine monitor as it shows low manifold pressure in normal rpm and then flips as I'm rolling out the RPMs actually get down to 220 with manifold pressure at 24 inches I had to pull the mixture halfway out before it started to come alive again okay wow it's windy Wow Wow yeah that was I went to go around yeah and tab stuff that said vacuum below whoa even during the back taxi the wind was shifting and gusting it was such force that it was hard to keep it straight at times I've spoken with several knowledgeable folks about this and the best that anyone can come up with is the combination of density altitude and rapid cooling due to the headwind caused the mixture to go rich and it essentially flooded interestingly I've landed at much higher density altitudes and never saw the manifold pressure drop like that before this was essentially a forced landing and I'm grateful that we got it down safely and without breaking anything see if I could find some shelter for a little bit after getting it parked into the wind we decided to shelter in the small left field building while we wait for the wind to die down [Music] this was a nice place and unbeknownst to us it's also the home of Moondogs academy of the air home at the 49.95 guaranteed so low as the Sun began to set the winds died down we were able to continue our way home thanks again for coming along and don't forget to like subscribe and leave a comment
