    Those Florida controllers are always the best at helping to get through the weather. Can never compliment them enough.

      Can confirm, Florida weather sucks, especially if you live there. I've heard multiple frequencies, and ATC was pretty good

      Tallahassee Approach was most helpful my last round trip from central Florida to west Alabama . Able to help us through some storms building in the area and we stayed visual, all the while instrument flights were deviating as needed left and right of course. Good video and typical of Florida summertime flying.

    I'm glad to see you mentioned the Nexrad time delay. All too often pilots believe the Nexrad data is fresher than it actually is, which can have fatal consequences.

    The transition at 8:06 made my heart sink for a second, as I thought the wing had violently dipped right after you said "it's not super bumpy right now".
    As always, appreciate your humility and thick skin to be able to actively share your mistakes and things you wished you did differently. I always learn from your videos.

    Great example of using ALL your inputs in aviation decision-making. I recently had a similar experience flying between cells out of the Bravo at DFW. On-board NEXRAD is good, ATC input is better, but staying in VMC and using your peepers in conjunction with the first two is best for avoiding convection disasters. Kudos to ATC maintaining flexibility on your flight. I thought our TX controllers were the best, but those FL folks sound every bit as good!

    Josh this was one of your best videos by far, for me at least!! Excellent ADM while navigating all those TS, you were calm yet methodical when picking your way through the buildups. I was really pleased to see how ATC was so accommodating to making sure you and all the other planes out there were safe. Gave me greater insight into flying IFR. Thanks

    I love your videos and this one particularly. I'm a new private pilot and had a similar xcountry flight through lower GA with ATC and many diversions to maintain VFR. I questioned my plan once but knew that I had the 180 in the pocket, then everything cleared up.
    I definitely learned something that trip and gained confidence in my abilities/adm through my post flight debrief.
    Thanks and safe flying!

  • @billkinzler3773
    @billkinzler3773 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent presentation in Florida “popcorn-like” storms. I am based at KSPG and summer time flying across the state is very challenging and always changing. Depending on the cloud deck, it is sometimes better to be 500’ feet below the cloud basis to see and navigate the showers underneath them. Lower allows you to be in quick access to the many airports throughout the state.
    Thanks Josh, your cross country videos like this are the best because everybody encounters a change in plans and we like to hear what you go through during your decision making process. Keep up the great work.👍

  • @TibDriver
    @TibDriver 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Once again timely for me...working on my instrument rating, the checkride is about 3 weeks out. Watching you go through your setup as you briefed that approach and set up the 430 was just the best. I’m flying with the exact same panel as you through the checkride. Thanks again Josh Flowers!!

    Josh, love your channel and videos! Your trip reminded me of a trip I took in a Cirrus a few years back from PDK to South Georgia and I used the same techniques to stay out of the weather. The Mark 20 eyeball is still the best WX avoidance tool. Thanks for sharing your experiences, techniques, and strategies for cross country flying.

    All my flying has been out here in the PNW, and out here it’s generally either raining everywhere, or nowhere. You can kinda steer around weather, but it’s stuff like “avoid the Western half of Oregon this week” or “everything from Mt Jefferson to Mexico is IFR for smoke”. Thunderstorms are rare enough that there’s not much reason to be within 100 miles of one. This Florida stuff looks absolutely outrageous.

  • @billyb4613
    @billyb4613 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    10:58 Preach. Absolutely Right. Air traffic controllers (terminal radar and en route) can only work based off information they see on their scope. The weather radar on their often comes from different sources than what a pilot might see, the most useful of which (to the pilot) is their windows. TRACONs and the control floors of centers don't even have windows, let alone windows where they can see the weather a pilot is flying towards. They can maybe see their car in the parking lot on a break if they're lucky.
    This is a perfect example of exactly how pilots and controllers should work together. Goes for any situation. If you're issued a speed restriction that you don't think you can abide by, or isn't within the limitations of your aircraft, advise the controller. Communicate that. Controllers work hundreds of different aircraft types and can't be experts on all of them. Perspective matters, and if you have a different perspective and make a decision based on that as the pilot in command, by all means do it and communicate your intentions. Great stuff here!
