FS9 - VOR/DME IFR Approach Runway 11R at KVRB

This is my video I made for FSX404's Flight Simulator Contest. I am doing the VOR/DME IFR Approach Runway 11R at KVRB in IMC conditions down to Minimums in FS9/FS2004. The approach starts after passing the Vero Beach VOR (IAF) out bound just before the Procedure turn. Aircraft is the Beechcraft Twin Bonanza.

Where do I get this twin bonanza, its amazing, 3 seats across, and it has a pretty high approach speed.

By the way, in real life, you bet I would use the GPS too, as a matter of fact I'll probably have to do it tomorrow.

My CFII has a crazy idea of its OK to cover up the AI and HI in actual IMC so I'll be doing PP approaches tomorrow, in IMC.

He said pick couple of airports north of LAX tomorrow, any ideas? I'm just curious which ones you would do. Keep in mind I want to keep it under 2 hrs.

@FSX404 : Wait until you do your Multi-Engine under IFR. My CFII told me to be prepared for to get a simulated engine loss on one of the Approaches in the up coming lesson on top of covering up the AI and HI. good thing there is still the OBS and the RMI in the Seminole.

As for the GPS i used it to show you where i was on the approach and what approach i was doing ALSO for my Situational Awareness too, as far as the bust of MDA, it was by 40ft at the most & i corrected for it after i saw it.

While I was attendng ground school back in 1996 at KPOC, we heard a huge boom outside. It was followed by firefighters and EMT.

A twin plane had just crashed, it was IMC, the guy did a missed approach. On the power up one of his engines failed, and the other one pushed him over around 120 degrees (heading).

Then he clipped one of the buildings and the plane just disintegrated all over the road on the north side of the field. I'm a first hand witness of multi engine failure in IMC.

@FSX404 : He mus have been under Blue line or added power too quickly and didnt set up his plane properly to safely to go missed. but then again, you can do everything right and still end up a smoking hole in the ground. check out my other video i uploaded of me doing a single engine land in the Twin Bonanza.

I've busted a minimum by 100 feet twice in a row during my early IFR training. I got the "stare of DEATH" from my CFII.

Is it just me or is it a lot harder to hold altitude in MSFS than real life. You just can't trim the plane properly in MSFS.

[MrPilot1230]

@FSX404 : Flight Sim in general is ALOT more harder to "get the feel of" a plane and hand fly it using the trim. if you can hold any plane in MSFS or any sim +/- 100ft then you can do it alot better in the actual plane. Flight Sim was Made mostly for IFR and Emergency Procedures Flight Training as an introduction before going into the actual plane. you can get the best Flight sim in the world but NOTHING gives u the feeling of flying the in the actual plane in real life.

I did go to Whiteman today, it was perfect because a missed approach takes you to point CANOG, and from right there we just did a straight in into Burbank. It worked out perfectly.

Thanks

The SoCal ATC had me do and extra turn in the hold for the 737 that was landing, and from the Whiteman missed approach I flew the rest under PP, 2 PP approaches, plus 3 turns in a holding pattern. I'm ready for my checkride, but I still need 16.5 hours of hood or IMC time.

[FSX404]

That is not a bad idea, it's right next to VNY and the approach even uses the VNY VOR.

[anush10]

come to the wonderful airport of Whiteman, if you're lucky, you might not confuse it with San Fernando road running just parallel to runway 12.

lol

Now you're talking stuff above my head, I've attended a presentation class by a small airline where I was surrounded by CFII, MEI and ATP's, and once they got into multi engine talk, I zoned out. But I did manage to get an anser right when the guy drew out the runway approach lights and said these are 2800 feet long, what does that tell you?

I answered, that's about half a mile!!!

I was right, he was looking for that answer, go figure.
