Flying in IMC back to Wichita KS | We get a SHOUT-OUT from ATC!

- Janis and I are on our return flight from Ruston, Louisiana to Wichita, Kansas after visited Janis' dad for the 4th of July. We had a great visit and ate some great food. Weather delayed our takeoff due to some pop-up thunderstorms, although we still flew a lot of this flight in IMC and had one area we requested a deviation as I couldn't see through the wall of rain or the ground, Nexrad showed a small red cell along our path, but it was about 12 minutes old and what it was showing looked far less ominous than what we were seeing out the window. Couple that with we would have passed into that area in hard IMC, we elected to take a more conservative approach and simply go around it. Which only added a few minutes to the overall flight.

I liked this video so much that I watched it twice! Great example of picking up an IFR clearance at a non towered airport. Ron, I like how you verbally call key items during various phases of flight. Janis is a very skilled non pilot passenger. She is a great example of how an experienced non pilot can be a great asset in the cockpit. You guys have great CRM working together. Your videos are a great blend of the flying journey and the fun activities at the destination. It was fun to hear the ATC shout out to Parr 4 The Course. Folks are watching y'all!. I would never expect a bug at 8000! That is a first for me. Finally, it is nice to see Janis is still sporting the latest pair of sunglasses. How many weeks has this pair lasted?
Thanks Jeff, ha for watching it twice!!! Somehow I ended up editing out: "On-Instruments" as I say that prior to entering IMC to focus my attention on instruments before entering IMC . Janis helps out more than she knows, not sure i could manage a flight without her as she has become an asset in the cockpit!
Ironically, Janis received a one-year anniversary letter from Warby Parker, I still cant believe she hasn't broken them yet! Its becoming a a joke now as everybody wants to know how her sunglasses are holding up-HA! I'm CHEAP, but appreciate VALUE and i hate to admit it, they have paid for themselves!!
Jeff - you are just too nice! This was a “good” IMC flight. I can often look out and see the ground through the clouds, but on this trip there was a lot of the time we were totally “in the soup”.
@@janisparr6572 I two pair of sunglasses. One is more than 12 years old. The second is about 5 or 6 years old
@Jeff Ault - I’ve never had ANY glasses that long!
Thanks for letting us ride along on your trip to my home town. Enjoyed meeting both of you at Stearman last weekend.
Ed Bennett
Thanks for watching Ed, we met and spoke with so many people at Stearman that my voice is shot, but worth it!
We appreciate your support of our small but hopefully growing channel...
Thanks

Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Ron and Janis, nice view! Paolo loves watching a lot of videos on air flying and flight simulation
Thanks for sharing 🥰 Moira&Paolo
Thanks you, we appreciate you watching and commenting!!!
More flights, I"LL be there!
Thanks, we appreciate it!!!
First time viewing your video. I enjoyed your flight.
Thank you very much, I need more flights like this one . . .
Hopefully you'll like some of the other videos as well.....
Thanks for watching!!!
Nicely done! Thanks for the ride!
Thanks, great to meet you at the ACCA!!!!
@@Parr4theCourse You too, the pleasure was mine.
When you mentioned the tomatoes coming out of the garden, I cant get Guy Clarks song "Homegrown Tomatoes" out of my head this morning. Good video thanks!!!!
david robertson
Ha, too funny, we appreciate you watching!!!
I can not believe that bug 15:42!!! Loved the video, still waiting on a center mounted, forward facing camera view :) Thanks for sharing!
Chuck Martin
We’ll get there eventually, we had to drop a wad on new headsets!!!
Parr 4 the Course 👍🏼
Once you got out of that bit of bad weather it was a beautiful flight
Yep, but I needed some bad weather time to keep skills sharp!
We just sat in a bulk head seat on our way home from Mexico and it was hard to find a place to focus on! Gotta love garden tomatoes 🍅! Glad your weather got better!
FLACK FAM
Bulkhead has the room, but short on view, feel your pain! How was Mexico??
Parr 4 the Course It was awesome! Not many people there, sad to be home!
Wow guys. This is so amazing. I love watching your videos. There is no better feeling than flying and I love travelling with you guys! I must admit, I imagine looking out the front window and not being able to see in front of you must be a strange experience. - Jo
Yes, it is strange it takes lots of training to get your IFR rating, in these circumstances that we flew in, a pilot without the training/IFR rating typically losses control in under 200 seconds and and spirals to the ground, but I love doing it, keeps your skills sharp.
@@Parr4theCourse Wow! That is madness! You are very talented and we cannot thank you enough for taking us with you :)
If you ever make it our way we will take you up for real....
Look up Spatial Disorientation its a VFR pilot killer, you don't know if your up/down/left/right...
@@Parr4theCourse Wow we would LOVE that :D We will do! - Jo
Not an electra , BUT Just as fun ,THANKS for taking me along!!!
Hard to beat the flight on the Electra!!!!
WOW! I guess the giant bugs hang out around 8,000 Feet. That was a doozey of a bug! Great job on the IMC conditions Ron. We are getting some heavy rain here but it's tropical in nature with the Hurricane going south of us we are on the dirty side of the storm. Just a little breezy so far. No Lightning or Thunder with it.
Well, we "Thought" a BIG bug, but who knows, I needed some actual to stay sharp again!
Hope you guys stay clear of the severe stuff!
@@Parr4theCourse Maybe it was a California Condor off course.
I absolutely love the way you both concentrated on the task at hand while in IMC. The only talking was about the flight only. You two work together so well in the aircraft. I also like the fact that you won't take unnecessary risks just to get there a few minutes earlier. I'm so glad you two were able to go down and spend the 4th with family. I'm sure he enjoyed your company. Thanks again for bringing me along for part of the journey and God bless.
Thanks Kevin, the deviation most likely wasn't absolutely necessary, however I KNEW before we would get to that location we would be in hard IMC, and if hard IMC or IMC at night, I would only trust on-board radar. I know some think that SiriusXM Satellite is pretty good, but for me in those conditions not quite good enough, as a fast developing thunderstorm would render that as outdated information as well, just my $0.02 though!
As always THANKS for being a loyal long-term subscriber!!
I usually try to stay quiet when in poor conditions or landing. Sitting in the back during PPL and IFR training was a huge benefit for my comfort level in less than optimal conditions.
Great aviatingvfolks,
Fly Outwest
Thanks, been a while flying in hard IMC, needed this!
Thanks!
...always enjoy your videos..even that giant high-flying bug that just went splat..and thanks for your fly-in videos at Benton... sure looks like everyone out there at Stearman Field had a great time last weekend...thanks again for sharing...loved the arrival of Juan Browne on his motorbike and getting a real hosing with a wet salute...
LR VANALLEN
Yea it was most likely quite refreshing as it was HOT all weekend long...
Thanks for watching and being a loyal subscriber!!!
That bug was the funniest thing - he must have gotten caught in an updraft. Thanks for watching!
haha that bug did not have a chance! I was expecting some loud sound due to how much came out at the aftermath 😂
I'm so fascinated by the clouds. I would love it as a hobby to soar above them!
and nice landing didn't even see the camera jerk 🙌🙏
Thanks, the bug was toast before he knew it-HA!
If your ever in the area, I'll take you up!!
I like the video is the best. As we develop day by day,Always follow your luck.
I sincerely hope that your channel will be very big.
I hope that Corona 19 will disappear as soon as possible, and at the same time, I hope that your channel will gradually develop and become a very large channel. love so much this video.
At this time, I was really grateful for this valuable video.
Thank you so much, I edited out a lot of the IMC portions as I/we don't talk too much being focused on the instruments, but left enough in to show that although pretty, it can be dangerous if you are not paying attention! Thanks for watching!
Janis/Ron that was a nice crosswind landing there as you made it home! I have been away to Missouri visiting our farm for the last 3 weeks so I am a little behind on my TH-cam VID's but when I saw your IFR Flying VID I had to stop and watch it! I really like flying IFR especially when you drop out of the clouds & the runway is right in front of you or it better be! :-) I also appreciate you showing the instrument panel during the trip also to see the flight details as you sail through the clouds! :-) Take care & good flying! Don/NE Ohio
Don Emory
Thanks Don I enjoy keeping skills sharp flying IFR as well, git about 45 minutes total on this flight cut a lot of it out as I’m pretty focused on instruments and not talking too much, so we edited out a lot of dead space...
Take care and as always we appreciate your loyal following of our channel!!!
We’re trying to get better! Trying to be informative and entertaining!
I can see how you can have spacial disoriented. The clouds are spectacular once you cleared the gray. Puffy goodness. Nice shout-out. Avocado turkey wrap. 🤤🤤🤤 Left downwind! I know that. 😁
You’ll be flying in no time.....
Left downwind is half of it-ha!!!
Louisiana has some of the best food! Have flown into KRSN a few times during my training. Mostly based out of KBTR/KHDC if you ever make it down to the true south. Safe flying!
HA-TRUE South, well if it makes you feel better, my dad was from Lockport RFD...
Small world! In-laws whole family out of Raceland. Good ole Bollinger shipyard folk. You truly know some good southern cooking then. Enjoying the videos and definitely jealous of that Kodiak 100 demo flight.
Ryan Miller
We did too!!!!
We did too!!!!
Google "Parr's Road to Lockport"
Good stuff!
Nice video! Always enjoy the IMC action. Also enjoy the homegrown tomatoes of my own. Have a lot of ripe cherry type tomatoes, with some of the bigger ones just starting to ripen.
James S
Yes James been a while since I had any actual, got more than I bargained for on this one! You would have loved the Boudin Stuffed Pork-chops!!!
@@Parr4theCourse That sounds really good!
James S
They were!!!!!!
Excellent example of getting a clearance at a pilot-controlled airport. Nicely done.
Thanks, I messed up the very 1st time I did this a couple of years ago, MLU controllers were very patient and forgiving, when we came back a year later, they gave us a tour of the MLU tower/TRACON...
Yep - the MLU controllers are great!
Poor bug, he just wanted to catch those nice tailwinds up at altitude there
Hug Aviation
Ha, yes may have been a really small bird, but not sure as it was just a splat!
Yep - we’re all looking for energy saving tailwinds!
That was the biggest bug spatter I've ever seen.
HA, the mic didn't pick it up s well, but it was loud too!
My first time on this channel and I'm looking forward to to getting my IFR rating and seeing your Clearance that I love to here you are cleared as filed is a great way to copy down and continue to get more panel videos with the G1000 and do you have the GFC700 auto pilot? Can't wait to get my first time flying out on my own in IMC conditions
No I have the KAP140....
Getting you’re instrument rating opens up so many more options to fly, we would have had to lose 3 days going to the Bahamas had I not had an instrument rating waiting out simple low ceilings.....
Good luck on getting you’re rating!!!’
Nice video - always interested in learning from IFR videos - I don't have my instrument rating nor is my airplane IFR certified. I'd like to change that eventually.
Best thing I did, case in point on this flight we would have had to delay our return trip a couple of days due to low ceilings. IFR rating typically isn't so you can fly in the "Soup" like on this flight, its just to get you above a layer of clouds . .
It was the hardest, yet most rewarding thing Iv'e done in aviation to date!
@@Parr4theCourse I can see where it would come in handy. We're planning a 3.5-hour flight to a family reunion this Friday, but we spent a couple hours preparing the Motorhome (10 hour drive) in case the weather does not cooperate. That's the reality of VFR flying. An instrument rating would give us a far better chance of flying it.
Tom Conroy
Yep gives you options, I met a guy in the Bahamas that was VFR only, he planed on 2 days worth of delays and that’s how it worked out. When he got home, he signed up for IFR training....
You can do it it without, you just have to be more flexible with your “schedule”...
@@Parr4theCourse Thus the old saying - 'Time to spare, go by air'
Tom Conroy
True-dat!!
I enjoyed the flight! You are just as spoiled as me with the G1000. How is Janis with the G1000? Can she do co-pilot stuff?
Wolf Pilot
Yep, she if you notice tunes in my Comms and sets the Baro on the KAP140. She’s great with ForeFlight!!!
Ron lets me be as much of a co-pilot as I want!
@@janisparr6572 Chocolate Chip Cookies work wonders.
145 KTAS in a C182 is moving along nicely! Standard engine or up-sized? If standard, looks like you're running ROP?
Nope, standard and yes ROP, I typically get 140-145kts KTAS, but sure would like more on these longer flights!
Ron, your thoughts on LOP? You could probably cut fuel flow from 14.5 to 11 gph, and lose only ~7 KTAS... but have a cleaner engine. Always tradeoffs.
GeezerGeek Pilot
What!!!!
And give up 7knts???
Ha, true but I think I like the speed too much, I know in the grand scheme of things only adds a little to the ETA, but that may mean the difference of I gotta go vs I may not make it-ha!!
Really cool to see you guys flying right above the clouds. But when you are in tue clouds, it would be pretty scary. And now it’s raining. Do you get nervous when that happens?
No, thats’ were training comes in LOTS of it!
Sad statistics are that VFR only pilots that fly into IMC (Clouds/Rain, etc.) have approximately 178 seconds to get out of it or it typically ends in a fatality! That’s why I try to fly in IMC as much as I can to keep skills sharp, as flying as a whole is a perishable skill (literally & figuratively) . . .
Parr 4 the Course You are a true Pro.
Santos Chronicles
Far from it, thats why we practice to stay proficient....
What type of pencil did you use to write your clearance on the iPad.
I use an iPen on the iPad, but that was a regular pencil/paper as I forgot to record the clearance and did it post editing "this-time" good eye!!!
You had me at bacon wrapped filet. 🤤 Did I hear you fly over Fort Worth? Cookies! 😁 My kind of episode.
Ohhhhh and they wee soooo gooood too!!!!
Fort Worth, not us, this time!!!
I think he heard the transfer(s) to “Ft. Worth Center” frequencies... might be a teaching moment where you can explain ( to non IFR pilots) the handofffs from Tower-Departure-Center-Approach-Tower and what the differences are. I’m pretty sure you didn’t fly over Memphis either, although you did talk to Memphis Center as well 😀
This is my first video of yours I have seen. Enjoyed it ... appreciate the effort you both put in explaining things. Subscribed.
Yea, we skirt the edges of a lot of center frequencies areas on this route and get handed off a lot. Good point we will try to explain this more on future flights for our non-pilot viewers,,, Thanks for watching!
👍☑️ Nice flight video with IMC flying BUT y'all can be mean just talking about great steaks BBQ, good burgers, cookies left on the counter but where are the visuals??? Tks
You nailed it, we are just mean . . .
It’s a quiet long flight, what’s the distance and time for this flight.
Dr Ahmed
It’s about 390nm and takes about 3 hours of flight time with calm winds. We have made this in as little of 2:45 hours with tail winds and 4:30 with head winds!
