Air Wagner Dec 8 2021 Minimums on RNAV approach in Cessna 421C Golden Eagle N513SJ

That was pretty cool. One day when I grow up I want to be a pilot too. I'm only 53 yrs old. Love seeing your flights. The IFR scares the heck out of me but at the same time fascinates me. Thank you for sharing.

I don't want to be a pilot, but enjoy watching folks fly. His ground speed was 203 knots (180 IAS, 198 TAS) shortly after he loaded his approach. All that kinetic energy has to be converted into friction so he can slow down to 85-100 knots to land. Being a pilot involves a lot of physics and math, and Jerry flies perfectly. :)

Never get bored of the route. Different every time. Thanks Jerry!

[@av8bvma513]

Jerry! You could post a video each and every time you fly, and we would very happily watch each and every second, we really love to ComeAlong! Love what you do and how you do it. Dig the sound-bites You select and toss in for our delectation too!

[@TheFlyusa]

Doesn't bother me that your flights are to the same location. I just finished my IFR training in helicopters and enjoy watching your IMC flying. Some of your explanations of the 620 and 750 helped me learn more about those avionics. Keep them coming!

[@kam1583]

Wow, love the tour around the display. Very well done flight. Loved the 'minimums' breakout....so cool! Thank you.

[@donemory7459]

Jerry thank you for sharing these IFR flights…I love ‘em!! You do it right! :-) Don/NE Ohio

[@qrplife]

Good one. Same route but always something different to keep us on our toes.

[@BonanzaPilot]

That is what you do with your own plane.

[@ccserfas2112]

My favorite time of the year to tune in. Thanks Jerry

[@thunderstruck5484]

Great landing every time you land there I now notice the buildings on the right that resemble the runway!

[@Jerry.Wagner]

Yes, I pointed that out and circled a still photo of those on an earlier video

[@ewersm1]

Good stuff, Jerry...thanks for sharing! A miss and the hold would be fun to watch, as well!

[@thunderstruck5484]

Thanks Jerry always learn something even though I’m not a pilot I talk to my brother who has his private license and my nephew who flies the Phenom 300 for an outfit in Fort Worth I talk to them about your channel thanks again

[@jamessherrill3454]

Wow! Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@McCartneyville]

always a pleasure to see you fly. You make it look easy.

[@bradok3695]

Wow, that was exciting!!!😁 Thanks for sharing Jerry.

[@thunderstruck5484]

Dammit Phil tell em to slow down! Haha took me a minute to place that one ! Favorite Clancy Book “Red Storm Rising “ excellent about WW3 also last Clancy book read “Without Remorse “ excellent John Clark origin story that was about 20 years ago wow time flies, thanks again

Excellent! Thank you so much Jerry.

Your always ahead of the airplane Jerry, thanks for sharing. Go Chiefs

Jerry I love flights like this one

[@PhilipAlonzo]

Wow what a landing i would of had to check my shorts after that landing

[@JeffreyRubicon]

Hi Jerry. As always, I love the videos! Quick question for you: I know you loved your 414 but you seem even more in love with your 421. I’m in the process of making a decision between a beautiful, fully loaded (Garmin) low time, new P&I 414 and an equally impressive 421. I’ve flown both but it’s been awhile. Just in general, based on your experience, which do you enjoy/prefer more between the two models? (PS. I’m not afraid of the grated (stupid autocorrect! GEARED) motors so not a factor in my decision…unless you would disagree?) Thanks! (We’re hangar neighbors in KOAK)

[@Jerry.Wagner]

The 421 is the choice hands down for me, the only negative is the fuel burn of 24 per side at 75% power, BUT today on a flight to Los Angeles we were at FL210 with a true airspeed of 220 Knots, the 421 will give you much more useful load, a faster plane and quieter ride

[@JeffreyRubicon]

@@Jerry.Wagner - Thank you! We are definitely leaning towards the 421 so it’s great to have confirmation from an owner operator.

[@beyforghani7962]

Too bad a FAA examiner was not there to give you an A+! Always enjoy your clips.

[@bernardanderson3758]

Let’s do this IFR flight Jerry and I’m ready

[@georgenicholas5210]

How long do you give yourself before a miss? I can see how tempting it is to go just a bit lower…..

[@Jerry.Wagner]

there are strict rules and altitudes and position that are published on the approach procedure that we MUST adhere to, no way you can "bust" these minimums and go lower

[@daz7217]

Nice. Thanks

[@matthewmallen4404]

Thanks Jerry, how can I get in contact with you?

[@petet968]

Hey Jerry. How do they set those minimums? Is it based on weather history or local knowledge?

[@Jerry.Wagner]

Those minimums are established by the FAA based on many factors and published on each published approach

[@bernardanderson3758]

I’m very interested in flying with you anytime if I was in the area

[@asho1735]

I sensed a nervous laughter after the turn off.. slightly pushing the envelope this time.

[@juarez456]

Jerry, I do agree with practicing your Instrument skills is a HUGE benefit to keeping proficient flying IFR. BUT it means absolutely nothing "Practicing" Instrument flying with you are on Autopilot 95% of the flight. How about we disengage that autopilot for a full flight and REALLY practice those skills. You will definitely be grateful for that if your autopilot decides to fail on you one day and you need to shoot an approach to minimums. Hand flying is how WE REALLY PRACTICE instrument flying!

[@Jerry.Wagner]

We practice both Bryan, when the field is down to minimums it is no time to practice hand flying in a Category B aircraft

[@juarez456]

@@Jerry.Wagner I hand fly an Embraer 145 in IMC to minimums. Plenty of time for that.

[@derek_da_pilot6412]

@@Jerry.Wagner Why not? Don't have the skills to hand fly an approach? Its not practice when you are in actual.
