Those guys at the tower must've been really keen on the weather conditions, because those rain showers could''ve easily developed into thunderstorms, with possible downdrafts. That pilot was as cool as a cucumber, though.

See this looks bad, but I had a Cirrus SR20 G3 GTS up in slight rain and the way it beaded up the windscreen turned a challenging approach into a multi-crew scenario. The Cirrus is an issue when being used for teaching as the Instructor can't get a good view of PFD or backup instruments so it really was a case of Instructor flying, me handling flaps and calling out our airspeed on the way down. Good landing btw! 8o)

Nice video.

Looks like an old 172. Is it carburated or injected? Id stay the hell out of that weather w a carburated engine.

@210482fmj the engines are chosen in regard of speed an purpose. A cessna has a max speed of like 160 knots. More than that and there is risk of material fatigue (followed by death). Ull need a new airplane, more expensive, more heavy, more consuming... ur just joking right?

I don't see why all light aircraft are not using jet engine technology now when it is lighter, smaller and uses less manafacturing materials. a jet powered 172 would be sweet.

You make it seem so easy.

For the Record, I was on an IFR Flight Plan and ATC said, "Cleared for the Visual Rwy 30 Right". It was VFR between me and the touchdown point on the runway, but if I had to go missed approach, I would have gone 0/0 on the visibility, but since I was still on an IFR flight Plan, I would have been legal to execute the missed. Remember guys, NEVER cancel your IFR, just ask to be cleared for the visual, that way your covered and most of all SAFE! If it went IFR, I would side-step to 30L to the ILS.
