TBM 900: Solid IFR to Sugarland

We had a quick trip to Houston and got some good IFR time in the clouds. On this flight my co-pilot is Tim, a fellow ForeFlight guy.

[@JasonFlies]

Thanks for watching!

[@vanallen9453]

...thanks Jason...another exciting flight...and always good to see the ground again...

Great approach and landing - showing the true value of an IR Jason and the capability of the TBM and Garmin G1000Nxi.

[@space1commander]

Great Video and thanks for taking Us on that beautiful TBM in the Soup to the minimums.

[@rockcrawler3119]

GREAT video!!! Thanks for sharing#

[@MidnightWyvern]

You KNOW it's good when you can't tell at first if the pilot already touched down or not. ;) Nice landing!

[@JasonFlies]

Thanks! That one WAS pretty good :)

[@citylight7777]

As always a great video! Will try to fly the same route in my TBM simulator. Thanks for sharing!

[@superskullmaster]

Excellent.

[@worship288]

Nice work!

[@bernardanderson7569]

Jason I'm looking forward to flying in this one

[@Parr4theCourse]

Good job, I’ve landed “close” to minimums, no better feeling than breaking out and you’re lined up on the runway!!!

[@JasonFlies]

Yeah, it's a lot of fun!

[@1966msteel]

Nice Job!

[@n229dh6]

Capable AP. :-)

[@tstanley01]

Best FBO in the Houston area!

[@JasonFlies]

Yeah, they do a nice job, though the ramp fees are getting higher and higher

[@larrymayberry2312]

@@JasonFlies if you are ever at your airport sister airport KTME, let me know...I'll buy you a cup of coffee.

[@bernardanderson7569]

I would have to wait until the ceilings reached a 1000 Feet before I would go

[@n229dh6]

We all have our own minimums. You fly a lot of IMC and follow procedure you become confident and proficient.

[@ColinSummers]

I think I'd press Austin Executive to install the digital ATIS and digital clearance stuff to make development a little easier for the Foreflight team. (Is there digital clearance or did I make that up in my dream?) Great flying. I love these videos.

[@JasonFlies]

Yeah, would be really nice - I don't think you get digital ATIS until a ton of other gear also gets installed. No excuse for it, but that seems to be how it is. No real digital clearance stuff yet, though we are trying.

[@tahirkhan737]

Can someone link the yoke mount they're using for the iPad? I have three Ipad pro 11 as well and need that

[@terrancebrown8796]

At what altitude did you disengage the autopilot when you was shooting the approach?

[@JasonFlies]

maybe around 400 AGL

[@bernardanderson7569]

Let me know what the ceiling was once you enter

[@JasonFlies]

ceiling was quite low at EDC - VV of maybe 200. Agree with you it would have been nice to have it higher!

[@AeroRamer]

What yoke mount is that?

[@dominickatx478]

Hey, I’m a commercial / instrument rated pilot based in Austin, I’d love to sit right seat for you sometime if possible. Love the TBM!

[@ColinSummers]

Recently I learned: "The Garmin Advisory Committee is more formally called the Garmin Customer Advisory Committee. These are conducted with primarily owners’ groups. The last one Garmin held was with the TBM owners’ group and this was prior to the announcement of their Autoland system." Are you part of that owner group? I assume the NXi upgrade means you have most of what you need for Autoland. Would you add it?

[@JasonFlies]

Huh, may have to try to join that someday! I do have the NXi but it appears AutoLand requires the G3000, plus extra systems like brake, gear-extension, flap, and throttle controls.

[@ColinSummers]

Looks like you are correct, but the TBM 940 has the G3000, autothrottle, and auto-ice protection. My guess is that in 2021 you will see it with autoland. Doesn't seem like you really need it, since you are a two pilot crew, but still good to keep up with the technology.

[@JasonFlies]

@@ColinSummers Yeah, they announced it will someday be on the 940, likely as a retrofit (for 940s) as well - TBM is good about offering retrofit options. Agreed on the keeping-up part. I wasn't going to do the NXi but then decided that someday if I want to sell the plane people will expect that to be there, so might as well get to enjoy it myself in the meantime.

[@ColinSummers]

Your other co-pilot was better at calling out the airspeed on short final. More CRM training for Tim.

[@JasonFlies]

I told Tim you might be biased :)
