Part of the problem was that you picked an altitude that put you into potential conflict with westbound traffic. Technically, under 3000' AGL (which you would have been) it's okay, but again it creates the potential for conflict.

I recognize as an LSA pilot you can't go VFR on top, but those clouds didn't look like a broken layer. One thought might have been to go higher before you got to them to get a better sense of how extensive the cloud cover was, and then come back down if it looked broken or worse. There is an illusion when you are near the same altitude as the cloud and you are looking at the layer edge on it can appear socked in when it really isn't.

Love your videos! I fly a light sport in South Florida. I think the best thing is not to ask for flight following, especially in a busy complicated airspace. The only benefit they give you is traffic alerts, but the price you pay is being ordered around all over the place. For Traffic you have ADSB on the HDX and foreflight, no need for someone giving you alerts over the radio. The only times I use flight following is if I fly over an isolated place like over water, and need someone to keep an eye on me if I lose the engine or have other emergency.

I get your point, but on long flights I'll actually take a few short vector changes for the peace of mind of knowing I can talk to a controller immediately if I have a problem. I also get clearance through some of the controlled airspace around LA without even asking for it. Also, there is a lot of barren land between Phoenix and LA...gives the search party a head start...:).

You were definitely the “Someone else” he was talking about in that conversation. The guy in the Cessna diverted into other traffic is what I heard anyway. Looking back at the screen, I see the Cessna would have been by you had he stayed on his course. I’m guessing this is what ATC had in mind. He actually turned into you then for some strange reason. You turned away from the path he had been going, which was logical, yet he again was turning into you. I have no clue what he was thinking because based on what his box should have been showing him, he should have turned left not right.

The references to the FAR/AIM were helpful. Two questions: How does the Sport Cruiser perform in turbulence on the hotter days in Phoenix? What is your approach to the engine cooling temps issue on the hotter days since it is a concern at only 75 deg. OAT? Looking forward to your next video. All the best to you.
@sportaviation2401 8 ай бұрын
Good questions. Never have had a big problem with turbulence here in the Phoenix area. With clouds you get some uneven heating thermals, but it's usually so damn sunny here it's usually not a problem. I have never been in turbulence in the Sportcruiser where I have felt unsafe. Anything above 80 deg I try get in the air as quick as possible. On one occasion I was behind 5 student planes waiting to takeoff. I do little things like try and get the prop wash from the plane in front me; angle it into the wind as much as possible, etc. Some people have suggested keeping the rpms up, but that really doesn't work for me. There is a cowling modification that I might do in the future. Let me know if you have any other questions. Geoff

I went on a little rant there...my bad....😀. That Watsonville mid-air crash made me sick to my stomach. All because of a fast straight-in and lack of situational awareness. Would have all been avoided if the Cessna 340 had done a conventional entry into the pattern. Sacrificing safety for getting on the ground a few seconds faster and saving a few ounces of gas. I don't have a problem with tear drops as long as there're done far enough away from the pattern. Staying 1000 ft. above pattern has always kept me out of the way. I didn't see anything in the airport directory about over -lying the field, but I'll make to sure to listen to the AWOS a little closer next time; thanks for the heads up.

Curious why you continued the flight for so long before deciding to return to the field and communicating that? Or is that a product of the editing? At 11.X volts, that's a clear alternator failure. Some avionics will start to get funky with anything less than 12 volts, and with full electrical load and an older battery you can discharge your battery pretty quickly, which will eventually result in loss of comms. With an alert and volts under 12 I would have made the decision to return right away before anything else can stack up.
