Love the flight! Great! I love the ADM and constant adjusting of the flight to manage risk! Getting an instrument rating really helps to reduce the stress of clouds ahead as long as icing is not a factor in a light aircraft. I would have filed an instrument plan and planned the RNAV/ILS into KLUK with a divert farther west.
@WingsOverTO 4 күн бұрын
Thanks very much. Interesting. I hadn’t thought of diverting further west. IFR wasn’t an option when I departed from Toronto but became an option as I got close to Cincinnati. But it didn’t occur to me to do a split flight plan VFR-IFR. I’ll have to keep that in mind. Thanks for watching.

Kam - I find it interesting that with your IR you chose to bounce along with your wife at 3k, instead of filing and flying like 8 or 10k where it had to be a lot smoother -- looked like the tops weren't an issue and you'd have a more pleasant ride for the wife? Anyway, she seems a trooper -- I'd'a might'a decided that Cincinnati was far enough for the day after that myself!! hahahahaha --

Hey Dan. It was the icing that was an issue. The icing level was about 1000’ AGL in Ontario that day, and there was icing reported all around, so I couldn’t punch through the clouds and get above. I thought about getting up higher as we went south but the temperature just wasn’t warming up much until we got pretty close to Cinci, if I’m remembering right. But yeah, M is a trooper. 😀 Thanks for watching, Dan.
@WingsOverTO 4 күн бұрын
Oh and one thing I was worried about was clouds were reported as scattered and broken for most of the route that morning, so even if I could get up top, getting back down through them might have become an issue.

Great videos. Im considering a Sierra, how does it handle crosswind landings? I fly out of KDDC and the winds seem to always be 18-25 on average.
@WingsOverTO 2 ай бұрын
Thanks very much, I appreciate you reaching out. It's actually pretty good for crosswind landings. It's a heavier plane than a C172 or something like a Piper Archer or Arrow, so it is more stable and resists the crosswinds a bit better. If the winds are routinely 18-25 and mostly crosswind, you'll certainly get good at it! :) I max out at 25kt winds with a 15kt crosswind component - absolute max for me and only if it's a must - but the plane is rated for a 17kt crosswind.

I'm in the process of buying a Sundowner and have been look at options to upgrade the panel. The uAvionix AV-30C has now been updated to solve the issues you mentioned, including HSI and autopilot integration.
@WingsOverTO 3 ай бұрын
Interesting, thanks. Do you have a source for that? I just looked at their site and it doesn't seem to say anything about it having support for an autopilot. What I found in an FAQ is that it *will* work with just S-Tec autopilots for now, because those have their own roll/pitch source. So hopefully your Sundowner has an S-Tec already or you're willing to put a used one in, because there are no new S-Tecs certified for our planes.

@WingsOverTO 4 ай бұрын

Totally agree with the need for ADSB everywhere. I couldn’t imagine flying without it now especially in busy US airspace. I just wish Garmin would come to the plate and offer software updates to add diversity to existing units. Hoping they cave in with pressure from US customers wanting to come into Canada. Great experience as we totally missed the eclipse.
@WingsOverTO 4 ай бұрын
Yeah I really wonder what Canada is going to do about US planes. Because just the software change wouldn’t be enough - you actually need a second roof mounted antenna as well. So that’s an expense that most US pilots just won’t be willing to take on.
@terrypedersen7 4 ай бұрын
It might be wishful thinking but I would not be shocked if a Garmin GTX335 or 345 is the same hardware as a 335D or 345D (diversity to allow two antennas) but has different software to allow so. I am certainly hoping this for my future requirements and will be holding off to see how it plays out. Alternatively possibly Garmin will offer a factory upgrade to modify the units if a hardware upgrade is also required. We just need our neighbours to apply some pressure in numbers.

Yes to ADSB out. Solo night to finish rating saw the guy circling over Seagrave same altitude. Made a call asking intentions and no response so I started to descend and altered course. They turned towards CYOO and made a beeline passing to the right and a bit higher. He made his radio call he's going back and that was it. I was pretty annoyed he didn't even seem to noticed or try and fly further away. Afterwards I thought about it and maybe he only had 1 radio and he was circling to get ATIS. Pretty sure it was a flight school plane though and I thought they all had 2 radios.
