VFR Kern Valley - even some SR22T Hand-Flying

Post by waynemcc999 »


Today we’re flying with Jack in his Cirrus to Kern Valley… and contrary to rumor, you can Hand-Fly these lovely birds! If you’ve not been to Kern Valley CA, be sure to put it on your list… amazing scenery, on-field camping, and a great greasy spoon restaurant. Jack hand-flies the pattern in this tight canyon and on the return I try my hand, sans autopilot, at a GPS approach back into Santa Barbara. Thanks for flying with us. Wayne, GeezerGeek Pilot

Keep 'em coming Wayne .. I've added your Guzzer Channel on Youtube .. really enjoy them.

Question ... how do you capture the Foreflight ( Track Log) sequences to vase Video?

Question ... in your Caribbean flights .. I noticed you had traffic alters on several of your approaches .. do you get ADS traffic down there? I'm planning a trip this Spring.

Thanks
Gary

Gary, glad you enjoy the videos... thanks for watching!

Capturing (any) iPad action (as audio/video)... Screen Recording: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT207935

On traffic alerts in the Caribbean... first of course, my 2008 DA40 has active TAS... but when we were within a couple hundred miles of Puerto Rico, we were indeed also getting ADS-B traffic/weather.

I'm pretty sure you'll really enjoy the Caribbean... great scenery, very nice people, and good food. Enjoy!

Very best regards,
Wayne

Thanks Gary, you asked the very question I had around recording the ForeFlight screen. And Thank You Wayne for helping us both with that tech tip.
