Instrument Approach into Niagara Falls in the Beech Bonanza

[@linhearts]

Boy do I miss flying ILS Approaches in my 172 back in the 80s. No better feeling of accomplishment than descending down on the needles through the muck to minimums at a never been there before airport. Lost my medical years ago. Your video made me happy. Thanks.

Eric, this is by far one of _the_ best IFR vectors, transition, approach, and landing videos that I have ever watched. This is my first time watching one of your videos, and based on the overall experience of watching it, I'm subscribing.

[@georgefoster6380]

Agreed!

[@thanakornkhamvilai3727]

so cool! This inspired me to finish my IFR training

[@Eric.Johnson]

Fantastic!

[@georgefoster6380]

That was fun! Wasn’t sure about the “ back taxi” at first but it made sense. Thanks!

[@ScottsSynthStuff]

3:54 looks like you've got something gong on with your magnetic card compass. That's more than just lead/lag.

[@AlphaKilo.Warrior]

Clear audio and nice camera angle/quality. Keep it up and safe flying.

[@Les.The.Occasional.Aviator]

Very well done. Just like a pro!

[@williammcbane2599]

nicely done!

[@roan1025]

Very nice, gonna do my CPL XC from ISP to BUF

[@ClaudioNicolotti]

Man walk by. Man see good hand flying, good video, good audio. Man subscribes.

[@Eric.Johnson]

Man makes nice comment

[@williamzeller294]

I have a question- did not the controller need to clear you to cross 6/24? At least, that's how it looked on my screen. Really enjoyed your videos as they popped up on my feed- as a not-too-active private it's a good look at how flying is.

[@Eric.Johnson]

I think that's correct, the controller should clear the runway crossing as well - good comment. So glad you are enjoying the videos

8:45 "HARD right turn, traffic on a 3 MILE FINAL!!!!" ...bonanza proceeds to land 3 business days later

[@artificialhorizons1469]

I flew in there two days ago. It's no longer 28R. Just 28 now. Charts aren't updated but controllers are now referring to it.

[@caiolinnertel8777]

Fly into KIAG all of the time. Know those approaches like the back of my hand. Love 28R, SO much runway. Remember to land long to turn off on K to C to H. BUF approach is quite accommodating compared to NY and the DC area but of course not near as busy.,

[@Eric.Johnson]

Thanks for the tip 👍

[@peterbassey9668]

Wow! No one said MSFS2024 was this realistic!! Sheeesh, I'm placing an order immediately.

[@vedymin1]

It seems like you started configuring very early and then dragged the plane slowly to the airport...was there a reason ?

[@Eric.Johnson]

That's a normal instrument approach in a Bonanza- with gear down on glideslope intercept (but not the only way to do it)

[@Learnerofthings]

Buttered it.

[@paulaaronmarcus]

Looks like you're getting kicked around there a bit. Typical in WNY

[@colin-nekritz]

Wind is a constant, especially late September through May, which coincides with the fact WNY gets nine months of winter and, if lucky, three months of something approximating summer.

[@georgefoster6380]

I noticed it too, lots of control inputs to deal with the wind.

[@Eric.Johnson]

Definitely some gusts after getting to the clouds and below. I remember the ride across lake Erie being pretty smooth - so the overall flight from Toronto was great.
