Quick up and back from Caldwell, NJ to Montpelier, VT (KCDW to KMPV) for Eaglemania appearance at the Barre Opera House. A database update procedural error results in loss of synvis and terrain warning system. Return at night well past when the tower closes. Enjoy!

Thank you!! Weathermeister.com

Night flight back, VIP in the air over NY, and a trip gets canceled due to icing. Enjoy!

Ha!! You're not the first.. As far as the Meridian, it's not as bad as you might think. With four people, the direct costs are close to a coach ticket (not exact, but close). For example, I went RT to Chicago last week from NJ. Spent $1100 in direct costs (fuel, hangar, GPU). Obviously, add in...

And I will add this... I transitioned from an RV-8 with about 1800TT of which maybe 200h was retract time. No prior FL experience, no turbine experience. The transition was a breeze. Over the last two years, Ive logged 500h in it and can honestly say the acquisition was a life changer for me (us).

THANK YOU!!! They are a ton of work, but when I read comments like this they are totally worth it!!

If you can't get a word in with ATC and you need an approach clearance, is that considered a lost comms situation? This scenario was posed by a Pilotworkshops scenario not long ago and I had something similar arise during a flight to NJ from Keene, NH at night which can be found in the latest...

Hope this helps.

Reroutes happen all the time for me, esp when aiming for anywhere in the NE (like my home base at KCDW). If Im coming from the midwest or south, I file direct, and usually about 200nm out, I start getting the reroutes to fit in the with traffic flow. Earlier if I am passing through two or more...

Agree with all of the above. Have had my fair share of reroutes - especially when I file direct to the NJ from the east coast or from the south (the ride from Nashville back to NJ comes to mind - I'll get issued direct and then three re-routes as I get closer to DC/NY airspace). In this case, of...

Ive had EXACTLY that happen. I also have an instructor who INSISTS on filing everywhere direct. When I did that once with him (and he has a good point and is often right) I got the email with a route to expect. Clearance was 'As Filed'. We launched with the instruction to proceed on course. I...

Thats the one I got -SBJ V6 CIP @ FL280. I got the expected route email with it and was cleared as filed. In this case (as you'll see), however, it was really important because I needed to be in the flight levels to get above the cumulus layer and avoid storms. The routing I got, even though it...

Has Foreflight expected routing ever led you astray? Do any of you ever just file direct? In my experience, I’ve received clearances into the flight levels based on victor airways, so I’m not sure what I missed here. In this Ep of LIFL, I got a bad clearance after having filed the expected...

New one coming this week. Look for it on Wednesday.

Gary - Thanks for reaching out. Yeah - the editing is a steep learning curve that I am definitely on. And thanks re the mix...always a tough balance as the 'flying' crowd and the 'music' crowd don't always intersect as far as tastes and interests. It's funny - I promote my channel on the...

Another addition: LIFL episode 6 to Quonset State, RI KOQU for an Eaglemania show in Providence. Thunderstorm avoidance on the way up using the radar and VFR on the way back. Short but sweet. Subscribe if you like. Enjoy and Happy Thanksgiving!

Now THATS truly coast to coast - Anchorage....awesome! For me it was a really really long day out there - 12h in total. The return would have been shorter, but I had to time out some convection over PA and OH by sitting in the pilot's lounge in Gary, IN (see the video - there a segment towards...

I'm amazed at the variety of experiences here. Truly. It is part of what makes this endeavor so great; the breadth and variety of experiences and possibilities. Seems like the general consensus is that 12h in one day is about the limit, which is what I hit in the video. I was TIRED. Also, yes -...

SO TRUE!!!! If only the rest of the world could understand the zen of flying...
