Great video! I noticed ASOS reported vis 1/2 SM, but the S-ILS 26 minimums are 1 SM. Why are you allowed to continue the approach with below minimum weather? (Asking for my education)
Great question. You can continue down any approach to the DA at which point you decide based on your own 'actual' observation if you have the required visibility to continue to landing.
@@kipkap787 Yes, Part 91 allows it. Part 91 also allows takeoffs in zero/zero conditions, where 121/135 do not. For anyone crazy enough to do that. And some commercial carriers/operators have there own stricter approach mins that supercede the FARs.
IFR is so gratifying when everything works as it should. Great approach, wonderful airplane.
Thanks Brian. So true.
Great video!
Great pancake place nearby with crew car...
While it's nice to see outside the plane, showing the instrument panel brings the audience along for the ride.

@@love2aviate262 Gotcha, thanks for the explanation! I think I was confusing Part 121/135 rules with Part 91

Gotta love the Garmin Glass.
Was this hand flown. Seemed quite bumpy too!
Yes, hand flown in strong coastal storm gusts.
Were the glide slope lights out? Can't remember if they're PAPI or not.
No VGSI for Rwy 26. There's a PAPI on 31 and VASI on 8 and 13.
A bit too close to the windshield for the view.. but enjoyable.
Haha true
