    Lived in ANC for 12yrs and it's still surprising how much farming is done in the valley.

    I’ve never seen anybody shooting apps in a tandem tail dragged on YT! Awesome! Thank you. From the panel it looks like you can do ILS apps also if that nav/com is a GTN650. Did our Scout all-glass panel in 2016 BEFORE the GFC 500 was Scout certified so all of my apps are raw data…had a need to do one down to mins last month in actual which was a first. Have dismissed the temptation to re-do the panel to include the AP but after watching this I’m reconsidering! Thanks again!

    IFR in a Cub. Well done, sir.

    Love this!! Thank you for the thoughtful narrative ... navigation, engine management, airplane flying characteristics, etc. I appreciate how much time these videos take ... but please please post a few more. I have an NX Cub on order with the exact same IFR avionics package. Very much appreciate watching you put the plane through its paces in actual IMC.

    This is the most well-equipped cub I've ever seen. Such a fantastic aircraft! I've never seen the appeal of an IFR enabled back-country plane until I found this channel. Keep up the great flying!

    I’m not IFR yet, but your systems knowledge and precision in execution of tasks is impressive.

    Fantastic video. I find it useful to always activate APR on the autopilot when cleared for the approach. Terminal environment is very high workload so the approach clearance is a great cue. Happy flying!

    Great video. Question does a cub have to be to an experimental in order to fly IFR ?

    • @EricMassey748
      @EricMassey748  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, I do believe Piper made a few PA-18's that are IFR certified part 23 aircraft but they are rare. The part 23 certified cubcrafters xcubs and top cubs aren't capable of it because the additional certification requirements were cost prohibitive to the manifacturer (or so I've read). In experimentals we can do it as long as nothing in the FAA operating limitations set forth when the airplane was issued its airworthines certificate forbids it and we equip the airplane in accordance with 91.205.

      @@EricMassey748 Thanks, I had always heard that IFR was prohibited in LSAs, and I didn't realize experimentals could. I had pretty much ruled out cubcrafters because of that.

    @horse12100/Marc Horstman, Thanks! I was shooting the RNAV 15 at ANC int'l when the FOD situation happened. I went over there to practice the LPV capability of the GNC-355 since Merrill Field only has a circling approach with no vertical guidance for now. Apologies, I accidentally deleted your comment since I was working out while responding.

    I'm just full of questions! Do you fly with a helmet? If yes, can you elaborate on the advantages / disadvantages and which brand / model?

    • @EricMassey748
      @EricMassey748  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, I fly with a Tac-Aero Bush helmet. It was about $4,000 which was the only real disadvantage. The airplane is much quieter and I honestly am never even tempted to fly without it. It's the only helmet I tried and unfortunately I think it was a limited run! Tac-Aero might have more details! The chin strap rest pretty nicely on the flap handle track so it's easy to stow when I'm getting in/out of the airplane.

      @@LRobichauxIV Let me know if there are any more questions! I think the Tac-Aero Helmet might've changed hands to ACME aero fab, because their helmet looks identical but I don't know if it's available yet. Anyway, if the $3750 price tag doesn't scare you off immediately, I do think it's probably the best "accessory" for the airplane aside from the 31" bushwheels. I didn't try any other helmets though; I've worn my bushhelmet for 8 hours per day a few times and it never bothers me or gives hot spots. They all come with an integrated Bose A20 but I optioned mine with the LEMO connector and coiled cord, which is awesome in the Carbon Cub.
