The crash yesterday of the C206 is a testament to the challenging level of flying in Costa Rica. In the past, navigating the weather in the mountains surrounding the central valley was some of my most intense IMC I have experienced.
@jimmydulin928 19 күн бұрын
Thanks Larry for good video of what marginal weather VFR flying should look like. Yes, here in the United States we have lots of instrument approach availability. That is high altitude orientation and should be planned before going. Once low, as in this video or on pipeline patrol, transition to IMC is more dangerous than a precautionary landing. Yet those without instrument ratings, currency, and comfort IMC tend to try to stay too high where visibility is more limited and inadvertent IMC more likely. Less experienced pilots can get a lot of value from this video. Down here guys is where you need to be if the weather turns bad for you. And don't sweat the precautionary. Just set up and land as slow as possible. Don't let the GPS lead you into a place where you cannot see the ground.

I’ve always been taught to reduce mixture until RPM peaks- so it’ll start to rise and then you keep pulling mixture and it keeps rising and rising and then eventually you get a drop in RPM. After that put mixture back in two turns. The difference between “RPMs begin to rise” and “RPMs have risen all the way to the peak” can be quite significant on hot days. I’m worried that you may not be reducing the mixture enough with your method.
@jimmydulin928 Ай бұрын
Agree. I always reduced the mixture to max rpm in carburetor Lycoming engines. We all did in the pipeline patrol company I flew with. That was low land and mountains. We had far less lead blown out of cylinders and cleaned out of plugs every 50 hours. Waiting until 100 hours meant a lot of lead. Also the engine ran better and was plenty cool. I don't know how much difference never climbing made. We had a 200' AGL waiver.
@kazsmaz Ай бұрын
I was taught to always leave mixture rich for takeoff. Never sat well with me, when the engine was also struggling to idle during taxi to the point I had to lean it massively. If I get my own airplane I'll be leaning for every takeoff

@ I was taught to lean a few turns for taxi after startup, lean to rich of peak RPM for takeoff and in cruise and then lean for taxi after landing.
@jonathanmedding1543 Ай бұрын
For landing at these high DA locations, how do you mix? For glacier ops (on skis) we mix for best power at pattern elevation (~8000‘ - 9000‘ DA) and then don’t touch it. At this DA, the engine is below 75% power, so temps are not a problem. But I guess this wouldn’t be the best approach for 5000 a 6000‘ DA fields.
@motoadveBackcountry182 Ай бұрын
For landing I leave the gap I created on my very first take off of the day, if coming from sea level , I lean at altitude at full power, and increase mixture a bit.
@jimmydulin928 Ай бұрын
When at 10,000 or so DA, expect 300 RPM above static before leaning. Static before learning will be quite a bit less than at sea level. Not leaning, as Larry says, will mean perhaps only sixty percent sea level power.

For starters the video and recommendations from the pilot are excellent. Watched his videos for many years and everyone can learn from his experiences, as I have. As a commercially rated pilot for over 28 years and flying high altitude airstrips from literally day one I would like to share my thoughts as a consideration for pilots wanting to fly to the back country. In my case, I have flown to the back country of Idaho since 2012, the Sierras (especially South Lake Tahoe and Truckee from 1996 year around to today) and flown to the artic circle a few years ago. So, I am well versed in high density altitude and short field strips. To add to my experience, I was fortunate to fly many times in the back country with Todd Peterson, who has the STC on the King Katmai. Each of the trips we flew together Todd has taught me so much on how to SAFELY fly the back country of Idaho and Utah. The knowledge he has imparted on me with would take decades to learn on my own-thank you Todd! With all that said, here are my thoughts to others to help in making safe trips into the back country: 1. Get instruction/training on flying in the back country--why try to take 20 years to learn on your own when you can learn from experts that can get you there in so much less time! 2. Know your plane’s performance at high altitude-BOTH airframe and engine! 3. Practice slow flight at high density altitude before you go to the back country-your plane behaves totally different! 4. Know the performance degradation of your plane when flying in wet grass, downwind, downslope, rough field, upslope, etc. 5. Know how to lean your engine at density altitude for maximum power/cooling at takeoff-this is important, and requires you to experiment, as every engine is different. In the case of my IO-550 the ideal is around 1,350 F for EGTs-but may not be the case for your plane! 6. Know which is better: take off downhill with a tailwind vs. uphill with a headwind. Every plane has different specifications and a PIC you better know the tradeoff. If in doubt. Don’t take off!!! Lastly, when flying the back country which has varying temperatures, winds, density altitude, landing conditions, etc. you are really a pseudo test pilot. So the better you know your planes performance, limitations and capabilities along with your own the higher and the behavior of weather in the back country on a daily basis the higher the probability you will have an amazing experience. David...
@jimmydulin928 Ай бұрын
All good points, David. Your number 6 made me think of the energy management principles in "Stick and Rudder." Wind management is often thought of only for headwind on takeoff and landing. In the maneuvering flight experience of mountain flying, horizontal space available is generally limited by a ridge either side of the valley. Using ridge lift by staying close to the ridge downwind of the valley also gives us a headwind to reduce our ground speed and thus shorten the radius of turn should we need to turn back. And Wolfgang's altitude is airspeed (really deep valley down there) gives us the extra safety of allowing the nose to go down in the turn as designed for safety. Yes, down drainage egress is often more critical for safety than is headwind on takeoff. And the law of the roller coaster tells us that airspeed is altitude only if we develop the airspeed first, which brings up Wolfgang's suggestion about trying to hit the tree and then zoom over. To number 3, I would add practice slow flight in low ground effect, much slower than at altitude, so as to be comfortable with using free ground effect energy on takeoff...and on landing (water before land, rocky surface before good surface, etc.) This hover taxi practice is safe on long runways so as to be all practiced up for the mountains. Good job pointing out some things necessary to fly in the mountains safely.

That's a lot of risk because no matter how good a pilot you are, 1) you can still make mistakes 2) your engine can still decide to eat a valve without warning. There was at least one landing and one takeoff where wheels touched the water, and that's just pushing it too far IMO.
