Flight to Natchez MS with ATC and FSS COMS - Video
« on: March 21, 2009, 01:26:03 PM »
Yesterday's flight to Natchez MS KHEZ.



While enroute, I filed a PIREP with FSS.  Video includes screenhots on how that PIREP shows up at http://adds.aviationweather.gov/

I filed a PIREP on my return trip which included a turbulence report of light chop below 2000, and that went a little smoother.  That report is displayed on the third line of the ADDS and also on the graphic map with the green arrow in Mississippi in the video.

Video also includes how I do my "airport briefing" before I begin my descent, and before landing checklist.

On final, I tried to keep the left side of the cowling on the center line to maintain centerline tracking for the Xwinds, Surface winds were 10 gusting to 14 yet above the tree line, winds were much stronger as my ground speed was 60 knots.

I was trying to keep the left side of the cowling on the centerline.  Winds were really squirrely as you will see me using a lot of rudder input.
