Awesome video. You guys flew that very well and made an awesome video conducting a missed approach and a second attempt.

@EvanLuft Ай бұрын

Thanks!! :) always fun doing these low approaches. But with two pilots it is for sure safer :)

Excellent video, Evan. Passing it along to my student in time for his initial IFR on Wednesday here in Kelowna.

Wow thanks a lot!!! That means a lot coming from a fella like you!! :) I am in kelowna quite often so send me a message on insta

We have flown a few down to minimums in the Conquest 2 / 441 and the Garmin 750 is great, along with the front nose radar and xm weather, makes it a little more comfortable. Great job as always.

Amazing aircraft the conquest 2!! I agree! Thanks so much!! :)

Thanks for this - I'm in the process of (finally) equipping my aircraft for IFR. Once that's done I need to re-up my IFRr certs, I feel like I've forgotten everything!

@EvanLuft Ай бұрын

congrats!! that is exciting! Im sure it will all come back to you very fast :)

Great narration on the approach. Made it somewhat understandable for non-pilots but us vets were tracking right along. Well done

@EvanLuft Ай бұрын

I really appreciate it! :) Im glad you liked it! I try to make it understandable so that even my mom can watch it and follow along :) She's a dedicated fan but not a pilot haha! :)

Evan I love flying along side you and this is what it means when you have earned your IFR rating and let’s do this together

Well done on the landing guys👏👏👏 & thank you for such awesome and knowledgeable content for us to learn from🙏🙏🙏

Single engine IMC in a solid layer makes more workloads and always I enjoy the before and landing Briefing in any of your flights

@EvanLuft Ай бұрын

thanks!! Im glad!! I find I learn more just making these videos haha!

@mrsaskriders Ай бұрын

Nice video. Did you ask controllers whether anyone else got in before you attempted the first approach? Cheers from Regina

@EvanLuft Ай бұрын

We were actually the first, BUT a king air 200 did get in right after us

So, my (much smaller) plane has a G3X and GFC 500. I didn't see an autopilot 'scoreboard' or flight director on your G600, despite seeing what appear to be autopilot controls on the right hand knob. Even if not coupled, wouldn't a flight director indicator help you stay on vertical? Regardless, must have been some solid crew coordination going on between you both on this. Nice job.

Interesting - what I saw were Canadian pilots, flying a Canadian registered aircraft, between Canadian airports... Enjoying Canadian Freedom. But you do you.

@animeenjoyer9287 Ай бұрын

There is no way you said you absolutely love flying into shitty IFR weather like that lol. I am a student pilot doing my PPL and if I see this kind of weather with passengers in the back, I would shit my pants even if I become a CPL one day. stay safe out there!

@EvanLuft Ай бұрын

Trust me, once you get your IFR rating and get some experience, IFR flying is some of the most satisfying and most fun flying you can do. The best feeling is breaking out from the clouds on a low IFR approach and finding the runway all lit up with lights. I love this flying. You will too! Cheers! :)

@idekav. Ай бұрын

Whaaaat???? The formations of the clouds especially between layers, plus the added fun of approaches especially when you have beautiful avionics. Lord have mercy if you tell me I can only fly in one type of weather the rest of my life it would be IFR.

What are your plans for getting rid of that residual ice before your next flight?

@EvanLuft Ай бұрын

It was actually melting off after we had landed. And we use a deicing fluid that we carry with us in the nose of the airplane. We can apply it easily with a garden sprayer. It works really good! :)

@Pilot_Phileas Ай бұрын

Hello love your videos ! Currently in EASA IR/ME training, I don’t understand why you ended up, on the first app, way to close/too high on the runway. Have you descended down to the MDA and maintained a level flight ? In Europe we often use the conversion MDA + 20ft (for cat A acft) => DA if no DA is published. Is it same in Canada ? Quite funny to see all these differences of rules

@EvanLuft Ай бұрын

Thanks so much!! That’s interesting. In canada the approach charts often require you maintain that minimum altitude until you cross the runway threshold waypoint. At that point there’s usually no point in attempting a landing because you are 250 feet above the threshold and the runway is beneath the nose. So it always results in a missed approach. You can go missed earlier however :)

Are you sure the G stand for gear? There would be 2 items identifying the gear respectively undercarriage.

@markgo5624 Ай бұрын

it could be gauges or gas

@EvanLuft Ай бұрын

It actually stands for GAS, but over the years I somehow messed it up and always said GEAR haha. you are correct though.

@user-microburst Ай бұрын

I don’t understand. Did you reach the DA on the GS?

@EvanLuft Ай бұрын

Yes and at that point we knew there was no runway or we wouldn’t be able to get down to make the landing safe.

@alexc5449 Ай бұрын

Descending below minimums without runway lights in sight? Is this legal?

@EvanLuft Ай бұрын

We did have the runway lights in sight. :) we even add a margin of approx 100 feet to our minimums for safety :)

@alexc5449 Ай бұрын

⁠@@EvanLuftWell it’s always hard to tell on video so I sure hope so. Because as I was watching your first landing attempt you were below minimums when you pointed. Fly safe.

I noticed that too. They blew mins by about 160feet. LPV mins for CYXH for 03 shows 2599’. At 7:42 these guys went down to 2440’ when “at this moment” he spotted the runway / runway lights. Was also at 0.3nm 😬 Be careful with these vids bud. Safe flying

@alexc5449 Ай бұрын

@@drummerkid69Yea I didn’t notice the distance to the runway and the visibility required is 1 mile. I’d probably take this video down if I were him. This doesn’t look legal or safe in my opinion.
