The day when 310 Pilot made a nicer landing than I did

today's flight is to bowling brook cloud international airport it's pretty small field uh southwest of chicago there is a breakfast today that the pilots of america forum are participants local participants from the midwest area of pilots of america have organized here's the flight [Music] brakes are set beacon is on gas lock is removed car flips open trim sticks up uh landing is switches down circuit breakers are in avionics autopilot all converted to the crank freeze seats you get secured propeller throttle mixture rich brakes assets did not refuel we got almost 60 gallons of fuel on board priming looking for fuel pressure [Music] clip up quick database update on the gps and then we'll be good to go started the engine on the right tank we're going left that is the fullest tank that's the tank i'll take off from clear the left clear to the right rapids information hotel one three five two zulu wind calm visibility eight ceiling 8500 overcast temperature minus three dew point minus three altimeter three zero three two visual protein use landing runway two seven hazardous weather information for iowa and surrounding states available on flight service frequencies advisor nurse contact you have information hotel so you know it's clearance good morning vanessa 7 0 tango bravo with information hotel ifr 2 1 charlie 5 that's bowling brook cloud ready to copy my name's a 7-0 tango bravo cedar rapids clearance i've got a full route clearance for the advisory committee uh raise a coffee but it's a 7-0 tango bravo clear to the one charlie 5 airport via the victor 156. then direct moline vor direct the victor 8 direct juliet vor then is filed maintain 5 000 expect seven thousand one zero minutes after departure frequency one one niner point seven and squawk four three six six finance uh seventy or ten were cleared to the one charlie five airport via victor 156 moline victor eight juliet then his final climb maintain 5 000 expect 7 000 wonder minutes after 1.9.7 squad 4366. zero tango bravo read back correct uh ground bonanza seventh year tango bravo west ramp with uh hotel uh ready for taxi full length two seven please bonanza seven zero tango bravo uh runway two seven taxi via alpha across from a one to three at alpha two seven v alpha cross one three at alpha but answers your take a problem clear to the right clear the left left turn on alpha and exactly at 300 the ramp is uncontrolled so once you get word back from signature you can just maneuver that way as uh as directed all right we spent all their time with the old ups ramp with a new ups trap but uh i guess we're caught up now that works just let me know if it's the new ups rambling get you going all right we're approaching one three i'm cleared across it's clear on the left and clear on the right i'll turn my lights on for recognition approaching runway one three three one entered runway one three three one lights off oil temperature hasn't quite reached the uh green area yet needs to be at 100 degrees or higher i will take care of that during the run-up all right so we got a flight plan uh victor 156 to moline that starts at the cedar rapids vor and then goes via victor 156 to moline and then from there go on victor eight joliet and then two one charlie oops probably five um i doubt we'll actually fly the whole thing what i'm gonna do next is activate the lake from cedar rapids vor to the first waypoint on that airway so that it's actually the airway that is uh activated not direct tube let's do the runner brakes i said fuel is on the fullest tank left tank as my fullest tank flight controls are free and correct mixture best power needles left ops prizes fight indications impeller instrument air all temperature pressure ammunition look good everything is in the green all right good with the engine bottle idle check pre-takeoff mixture is best power prop is high from this six up cow flaps are open uh flaps are up fuel pump is off peter heat is off door window closed transponder is on model c and lights on the runway i will make a normal takeoff runway 270 at cedar rapids uh familiar with the upward wide and long runway anything i don't feel comfortable with as i accelerate i'll just pull the power let's run way ahead and land straight ahead under 2000 feet i will not attempt to turn back to the airport and just land straight into the wind ahead of the wings control aircraft rapids information india current altimeter three zero three four all right go to tower and departure for the flight plan cedars tower bonanza seven zero tango bravo runway two seven ready for departure it is a seven zero tango bravo cedar rapids tower turn left heading two five zero runway two seven clear for takeoff left heading two five zero clear for takeoff i'll run me two seven seven zero 500 feet [Music] and take off [Music] take off power set your speed's alive temperature pressure good positive rate gear up 400 feet per minute climb rate not bad [Music] left turn hitting two five zero [Music] good morning finance seven zero tango borrow 3500 climbing five thousand financial seven zero tango bravo cedar rapids departure radar contact climb and maintain seven thousand turn left heading one eight zero climb maintain seven thousand turn left heading one eight zero banana seven zero two problem [Music] what ends up zero tango bravo turn left heading one zero zero join the victor 156 album left heading one zero zero to join victor one fifty six with nancy seven's gonna take a bravo if at any time direct wine that intersection is possible that's whiskey yankee november echo tango i would appreciate it can you give me that intersection again please yes sir it's a whiskey yankee november echo tango it's west of the chicago air space on victor 8. it's on my route [Music] for roger okay heading 100 to intercept this airway here and because i've climbed i've gotten richer in uh less dense air i need to reduce the fuel five thick one delta external one zero vector one way two seven one six zero a few degrees more or less there's right there roughly 1300 is my target for mixture setting in the climb [Music] and my next frequency is already set for my last flight quad city approach one two five nine or five all right i'm approaching seven thousand leveling off here i don't wanna be late for breakfast [Music] so i'm going with 2500 rpm car flaps closed and now i know my number six cylinder is the last one to cross peak so watching the egt's here for number six [Music] okay the peak was 14.56 i'm gonna go to about 1430 as my target at 25 degrees lean of peak so minus a few it's not it's not a super exact science if you're off by a few degrees don't worry about that i got a relatively high fuel burn here of 15 gallons per hour that's because of the cold temperature you're on a colder day air is denser so i need more fuel to get to the equivalent mixture setting also i'm approaching the airway here my uh hsi coarse deviation needle is about the center [Music] i'm gonna turn the right to intercept the airway victor 156. probably see that better on the i have our chart but then hopefully i don't have to stay on this airway for too long [Music] it's always a bit of a negotiation here coming out of cedar rapids um victory to moline takes me way south of where i want to go and the idea is simply to be on the south west side of chicago when i get to the airspace but you know i don't have to start that 200 miles out ynht is is here and you're easy to see we could take that shortcut that would be uh pretty sweet and approach i'm boy 3584 inside onboard 3584 clear official production clear the visual 2-7 on western 5 84. we got to 300 contact chicago center on one three five point six save trip three five six seconds three hundred today there's a seven zero ten bravo contact quad city approach one two five point nine or five and make that request for why not with it when you get closer financial seven [Music] quantity approach good morning bonanza seven zero tango bravo level seven thousand and uh would appreciate direct winehead if possible bonanza seven zero ten bravo quad city approach good morning altimeter three zero three five and i'll have that for you in just a moment three zero three five for financial seventh you're thinking probably thank you you're welcome right this is your tango bravo clear direct wind that intersection and then uh victor eight rest of uh clearance remains unchanged finances seventh year bravo clear direct y-net then victory and rest of the route unchanged all right let's see right now destination 49 minutes i go direct winette 47 minutes skyhawk 8590 delta descended maintain thousand seven hundred it's gonna maintain two thousand seven hundred five hundred dollars forty six as i'm turning towards it so maybe save two or three minutes [Music] it's not a huge deal but you know if i can save two minutes why not all right to do this on the ipad i gotta expand uh victor eight and then i can go direct to wine end and i get the same thing here all right decent ground speed here at uh 191 i'm making a mental note the the winds are more from the north the lower i get so maybe for the way back i'm going to go lower and if the weather is nice i might go back vfr just 80 is down there below me any plane this one loves cold weather you know outside air is plus five i'm in level flight 160 well over 160 uh indicated about 180 true and the tailwind brings that up to 190 so yeah life is good and that's lean of peak alright let's look at some destination involved so i'm going to bowling brook cloud international let's get a chuckle with that name international because it's a really tiny field and it's got one runway north south 360 feet long snow weather reporting in klaus or get the weather from lewis university lot instead let's see what they have right now [Music] still saying low ifr broken at 400. um they said that earlier i have reports from a local pilot in the area who said that uh an hour ago said that things were clearing up so that may very well be gone by the time we get there but if not i'll be ready for an instrument approach a couple of approaches in cloud neither one is straight in so it's going to be the rnav bravo that i pick with a minimum if i fly it at 90 or below or 485 category a above ground 1160 msl that's one of the things i want to be prepared for the other thing if it does clear up nicely is of course a visual approach winds will be from the north so runway 3 6 is what i would expect what i can see here is for flight is showing me the ceiling so i got 100 feet that's low 300 feet uh 400 feet but to the north uh looks clear there's no ceilings reported so with wind from the northwest today there's a good chance this will all be gone by the time i get there i can see what it looks like the first ice of the season forming in places on the mississippi river gotta be honest not my favorite time of year it's too cold bonanza 7-0 tango bravo contact chicago center one two three point seven five have a great day one two three point seven five bonanza seven zero ten bravo thanks for helping have a good day too thanks chicago center good morning bonanza seven zero tango bravo level seven thousand our seven zero tango bravo chicago center o'hare also three zero two eight

departure good morning meridian four zero six charlie delta two thousand four thousand just off illinois valley center for six man victory or step down uh 600 victor 119.35 1935. [Music] our 7-0 tango bravo descend and maintain 6 leaving seven thousand descending six thousand financial sevens you'll take a problem [Music] okay i uh not quite knowing what to expect i think i will just plan to fly the rnav bravo approach at cloud and i can do that with the feeder from joliet or i can go straight to country um so we'll see what works for atc if i do apply the core tree i'll have to fly the hold gps will help me with that uh from courtry to cac wall final approach fix is 2300 and then um another runway let's do the full approach breaking here so i have the charger center remote i have a regular up rnf bravo one charlie five i'll leave it here go ahead it's an rna the weather from lewis university uh c-tap will be tuned and the missed approach is the climbing left-hand 2300 to the joliet vor it's called a circling approach but uh landing runway three six it will pretty much be a straight in if i can see the runway allegiant 16-11 contact chicago center one three five point six [Music] flyers nine forty eight clear direct jill's press still set and maintain one zero thousand ten thousand november zero single bravo to send in maintain five thousand giving six
