The crash yesterday of the C206 is a testament to the challenging level of flying in Costa Rica. In the past, navigating the weather in the mountains surrounding the central valley was some of my most intense IMC I have experienced.
Thanks Larry for good video of what marginal weather VFR flying should look like. Yes, here in the United States we have lots of instrument approach availability. That is high altitude orientation and should be planned before going. Once low, as in this video or on pipeline patrol, transition to IMC is more dangerous than a precautionary landing. Yet those without instrument ratings, currency, and comfort IMC tend to try to stay too high where visibility is more limited and inadvertent IMC more likely. Less experienced pilots can get a lot of value from this video. Down here guys is where you need to be if the weather turns bad for you. And don't sweat the precautionary. Just set up and land as slow as possible. Don't let the GPS lead you into a place where you cannot see the ground.

Great video.
You create some of the best real world informational flying videos, thanks!
Who maintains the Corcovado runway. Seems that the jungle would quickly overtake the runway unless regularly cut and trimmed.
Good evening, what is the tool that is on the dash of the C170D? It’s to the left of the compass.
