Remember NEXRAD shows intensity of water and not convection. I know nothing about the weather this aircraft was in on this day however NEXRAD intensity alone doesn't necessarily mean thunderstorm.
Likewise on a convective day even the smallest speck of green on NEXRAD may be extremely hazardous.
@allgaiea: Thanks! (I am still learning/playing with cameras and software techniques)... Hope to have some newer/better content over the next couple of months.
Good Call - THIS TIME! Florida severe weather can be extremely fickle and dangerous. Push your luck often enough and you won't be posting any more videos. Good Luck.
@LordsofLanding, @savethedeveloper: Trust me I do not take the weather flying lightly... It took me a couple of years before I gradually increased my personal minimums to be able to do this. (And yes I am fanatically checking my instrumentation status along the way)
@mauiflightacademy Definitely interested... What is your Name/# ? (I am planning to come to Hawaii in March to complete my "Land in all 50 states mission")
@tomtom5418 YES ... This is the Avidyne R9 avionics deck + DFC 100 autopilot. Check out their website... In my opinion this is the best flight deck choice available right now.
@FSXFaulder: This plane was retrofitted with the Avidyne R9 Avionics decks and the Avidyne DFC100 Autopilot, both of which I am huge fans of!

I see that particular model doesn't have the two integrated garmin radio/gps units

Bahh..Who needs visibility when you've got all sorts of vancy avionics..Just makes the landing that much more rewarding.
I'm about to go recreate this scenario in X-plane lol.

i'd be concerned about loss of satellite signal or radio/ transponder outage in such thick rain

Be very, very careful doing that over southern Florida during the summer. Those are some seriously powerful storm cells and can kill you.

great video.... you are stubborn eh...? :-) They soo didn't want to you to land, "we got a crazy SR pilot coming in.."
Superb flying, knowledge and 'trust' of the systems you had at your disposal!
