Instrument Approach to KLVK

[FantasticBob7000]

All that rain can't be good for the prop.

[ragingmonster]

Was this a GPS approach?

[MrCaptm]

red over white all the way down. very nice.

[mrcaptaincj]

Nice landing!

[gatorflight]

Very nicely done!

[venom400]

nice , tough weather to land in .

[pilotguy92]

Lol i fly out of there

[dominicanoc]

Very Nice, I hope you had an Umbrella when you came out

[N9088D]

Awesome flying. Great job!

[aviatordino]

Good Set Up, Nice Approach, Perfect Landing.

[VeracityMedia]

5 mile final?

[tbgox]

hehehe i think this is something only pilots can appreciate! :) nice landing!

non-flyers: "wtf, we're watching rain on windshield for 5 minutes..."

[XaircraftX]

lololololololol true =P

[VeniceKahuna]

Ha! Very true.

[Brad1711]

Eh.. They have vertical contact almost the whole video. Nicely flown approach, though.

[mjkobb]

Well done. What a lovely day to go fly. :-P

[pocopilot]

I can't wait til I start flying IFR...that's what separates the men from the boys - breaking outta cloud @ 200 or 100 ft a-mazing!!

[handsupbud]

So what if you looked out the window and saw William Shatner trying to pull up the engine Cowling?

I'd scream.

[mimuho]

I flew into LVK at night 3SM visibility and moderate rain! It was tough. You did a good job too. Thank god for ILS!

[lstgnfghtr]

Hey rotorhead...I'm a hangar row behind you. We've got the green Starduster with the hornet on the cowl. I knew I recognized everything...rain notwithstanding. Put a tailwheel on that beast, and I'll come fly it with you. :-)

[emtgregg]

Can't get much better then that.

[grr915]

CCouldnt have picked a better day...lol nce flyin

[hukaris]

awsome i cant wait until i start mine

[fxdwings]

That's awsome. Can't wait to start my instrument.

[irish89055]

nice job.. what airport is that?

[mjkobb]

Gads. Lovely day to go fly. :-/ Nice job! What type of aircraft was this?

[recurry]

Thank you. It's a T210M with a very upgraded panel.

[lardman1]

Well flown...

[allflight57]

o sweet...i work over at ahart..idk if u keep ur plane at livermore or what but nic video tho

[kfhoov]

nice. in his defense on being high, he:

1)overcame the illusion of 'being high' w/rain on windscreen

2)stayed above VASI glide 'path' (if using)as is required @Towered airports unless bracketing which btw he shouldn't be(and isn't)doing,that late in the game...OR,most importantly...

[kfhoov]

3)**he knows that about 338'agl tower that is exactly 315'below the glide slope about 1.9nm from the TDZE, making a 4.5dot deflection below glide slope DEADLY!!given the 3 degree GS, 4.5dots@1.9nm=315'low,=impact,­+fall another 338' to ground.(and needs to be right of localizer.) Notice his climb started when autopilot came off(ding)and began hand-flying.

BTW denelson83, you're right...SOME VASI's don't coincide w/ILS glideslope angle. ie KSFO:ILS 19L=2.95deg., 19L PAPI=3degrees!

[allflight57]

hey was this into LVK?

[rotorhead210]

Yes it was. KLVK

[denelson83]

Remember, VASI's are used for *visual* approaches. They sometimes have different glide paths than those used for instrument approaches.

[whistman]

To BeechSundowner: The glideslope and VASI are not always at the same slope...

[mitch48118]

Were you using a coupled approach with the Autopilot on this video? Which A/P?

[kfhoov]

if he did he turned it off at 1700;) of course!(in notes for plate, which maybe u read)

[evelkanevel]

cant say coz i havent seen it

[leito735]

Very nice videoo :), i`m from Argentina!!!

[BeechSundowner]

Very nice landing. Would have loved to seen the instrumentation. You looked a littly high on your approach based on the VASI on the left of the runway

[mikeb172sp]

Outstanding! I don't think you could have done a better job!

[drumkitwes]

Absolutely beautifully flown
