Sedona - Arizona Mountain Checkride - Part 1

Over in Arizona for a week's flying with my daughter in late October 2019, our plan to fly over the high terrain of the Arizona/Utah border required a mountain flying checkride. Here's our trip from Chandler, overhead Phoenix Sky Harbor and into beautiful Sedona.

Hi Stu, I think Sophie's words "Wow! Amazing!" summed that up very well, spectacular scenery and approach into Sedona.

Thanks Jason. It is a stunning area.

Awesome!

A video explaining why I don’t fly. No way I could handle the intellectual aspects of navigation and communication. Very impressive and fun to watch. I have close friends in that area. Wish you could have flown me to see them. 😉

It gets easier with practice Bruce, like most things 😊 Your friends are fortunate to live in such a magnificent place!

Very cool adventure to watch. Is this still just a Part 1? I'd love to see the part 2, if you still plan to do it. :-)

‘Part 2’ got overtaken by other editing projects; but I have the footage and will get round to it some time!

Hi Stu, have you done the FAA conversion? I’m just waiting for the FAA to approve mine so I can do my check ride. Probably in Florida. I flew in the USA last year and it’s so good. Nice one, and great vid.

Hi Alan. Yes I have; did the 61.75 a couple of years ago in Florida, and completed my BFR on this trip to Arizona. As you say, it’s a great place to fly. This time I tried out Foreflight and it’s brilliant for planning and traffic/weather, although in flight I still run SkyDemon as well. Thanks for your comments 😊
