Loved visiting Oshkosh in the mid 80s, through horrendous air traffic the closer we got to Oshkosh, but great once on the ground. Thanks for this trip.
Best thing about Oshkosh? Easy, spending my kid’s inheritance. 😂 BTW - really like the approach (pun intended) you are taking on these videos. As a fellow IFR pilot, I appreciate seeing how others take on IFR.
I have throughly enjoyed your videos. As I have been pursuing getting my instrument rating I have learned much about flight planning from you. I’m very grateful for your channel, have a great time at Oshkosh this week!
My favorite part of Oshkosh is sitting on my lawn chair on the flight line on Sunday before the event. Watching and rating the landings is big fun. Of course I am sure my landing was also critiqued. Hopefully I passed inspection
Your videos are a huge inspiration for me to learn how to fly! Favorite part of oshkosh would definitely have to be seeing all the war birds (especially the corsair).
Matt, you stated nexrad on the 750 reflecting differently than the nexrad on the iPad. I’m assuming you have XM weather on the 750 and FIS-B on the iPad?
Love your videos. Love your airplane. I know nothing so here’s my question. Do you ever fly by hand or is it just too much workload? Seems like everybody including the pros are using technology/auto pilot. Why not. If everybody is flying to an auto pilot standard. You’re almost forced to do it in order to, not deviate from procedure and fly precisely. Your thoughts?
@@observer1242 great observation and question. Hand flying is what makes flying so magical. I like hand flying during takeoff, climb descent and landing. Hand flying for two hours straight and level is a mental exercise. The AP is nice because you can free up mental acuity for planning the next phase or operation. This is what refer to as “staying ahead of the airplane”. All of our primary training is hand flown. The AP does reduce workload especially when we are flying in the clouds. The main thing is that we cannot become so dependent on it because they do fail and you will always need the skill to hand fly.

@@1stREMESquaddie I have heard stories about that, sounds nuts!
Thank you for sharing
@@ericm333 thank you for coming along.
Matt, great video and explanation, thanks for taking me along.😊
It's always great having you along. Any chance I will see you this week?
Not this year, but will be following along with you @@TheFlyingSalesman

@@Marauder92V thanks! The IFR videos have been popular and I will keep it up. Blue Skies!

@@flyingmusician thanks! Never stop training. A dip in proficiency can be dangerous. Blue skies!
Well done...thanks for posting.
Thanks!

Thanks again for the video, nice approach into Oshkosh , good times,👍🏽
@@shinc4054 great times! Thanks for coming along!
Really like your information. You actually show setting up the GPS and Approaches and how you gather flight infp. Thank You
@@joestanfield7028 thank you, I will keep it coming.
Sorry I’m going to miss it all this year. But, appreciate you bringing us along.
@@lee.schulz day one has been a good day, unfortunately there was a crash. Prayers for the family.

@@Jacob-lb9px thank you, have you taken an introductory flight?
Great decision to make that right 360 on the arrival. You made it look easy. I don't know how people do that arrival solo. Good luck at the show.
@@cs1735 this year’s arrival was really easy compared to last years. Show is off to a great start.
Marvin is a great fellow!
@@timbonnell279 yes he is!
I'm flying Anchorage to Asia so far on my two week. Sorry for the two fatalities that happened on the 22nd. Rock those wings.
@@747FoSophie def a somber point.
@@TheFlyingSalesman Indeed. I live Northwest of Oshkosh by about 40 miles.
Great video! This procedure always amazes me. Question: I know there's the different altitude for faster aircraft, what about slower?
@@boogerwood whew! I wish there was a “if you can’t do 90…” line.
Matt, you stated nexrad on the 750 reflecting differently than the nexrad on the iPad. I’m assuming you have XM weather on the 750 and FIS-B on the iPad?
That is correct.
What are the blue and green numbers on foreflight mean? Are those safe altitudes?
@@joluisaponte that is a setting I select on ForeFlight to display the ceilings at the airports. It gives you at a glance where the “good” weather is.
