re: CPPP in Vegas: Success in spite of weather

And you enjoyed every minute of it! It's pretty reliably unreliable, though. ;)

I could totally have left you alone and let you shoot normal approaches all afternoon. You would have been so bored.

The simulator is the most unreliable aircraft you'll ever fly.

500 AGL is the minimum. We combine flap retraction with CAPS being a viable option at that altitude with the call "Five hundred, flaps and CAPS"

is 700 feet agl the minimum, and should flaps be deployed?

Thanks Jon.

I have a couple more videos to go, one on cockpit setup for an IFR departure and a two part series about going missed.

We're now looking at different ways to shoot better video and get some more detailed info to our viewers. There will definitely be more to see in the near future.

Safe flying!

Nice pics John!

re: Activate Vectors to Final? Nope.

Robert Kesler — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 05:08:26 GMT

I fully understand your logic. The only problem that we ran into is with the Perspective you will not get any presentation of the WAAS Glide slope until the next fix is the FAF. If you are expecting to see the the WAAS Glide Slope indication it is a little disconcerting when you get on final and are expecting to see the indication and you do not have it. You will eventually get it when the FAF is the next fix, however if you are not aware of this limitation and you are in the weather and expecting to see it, it really gets your attention. For this reason, activating the "Vectors to Final" will ensure that when on final you will have the WAAS Indication.

I took delivery of a new SR/22 w/ Perspective back in September. I have had a great deal of problems getting the correct set of instructions in order to update the data bases. We have Revision 764.06 and cannot seem to get the proper instructions either from Cirrus or Garmin.

Great demo and a very professional pilot!!! Having flown in the simulator myself I know and can see how Mike Radomski is feeling the the pressure of the realistic scenario. If you haven't flown the simulator, it is a must do!!!!

Very good. I just watched all four seminars.

John:

Great videos - I learned a lot. Not that I don't trust you guys :), but do you have a reference on the fact that the extended WAAS GS will always be at or above the intermediate ste-down fixes? Is that a Garmin specific thing (and thus in the Garmin manual) or a TERPS requirement?

Thanks.
