Crazy Busy Arrival! - Cessna 150M XC New Panel Flight from Palatka to Orlando

[@juanflyer8443]

Nice job explaining and demonstrating the stay ahead of the plane technique. I'll be visiting Orlando exec from the South but I'll expect the unexpected for sure. I think you planned the best option to get in for the day. Flight following and or filing would have either been denied or added another 30 min to your flight. Oh nice set up for a C-150 Aka Commuter. lol. What was the True Trak device on the Windscreen ?

Thanks! As you may know, KORL is hit or miss with traffic volume. I agree with you....as much as I use radar services, I have found on this particular trip I am often sequenced way out of the way. I now use the route shown in the video and simply avoid Class C and B entirely. The route invites a little more risk due to the lower altitudes and potential for other traffic (though all must have ADS-B in the area) . Regarding the items on the glareshield, the rectangular one near the front is the Trutach digital tachometer (my analogue one is 100 RPM low). At the far end in the center is the Garmin GDL39 GPS receiver and ADS-B in to the the Garmin 696. It's funny you caught the "Commuter" call. KORL is the only airport I have flown into that seems to prefer "Commuter" rather than "Cessna" for the 150. Even then, they still called me a Skyhawk...you can't win! Enjoy your trip to Orlando!

​@@theflightpractitioner7288 Yes the C-150 is the go to plane low altitude flying and a well trimmed one like yours takes the cake. PS shout out to your son for his Guitar work. Nice touch.
