This year’s IPC done. 💪

My CFII decided things were going too smoothly so decided to “fail” the PFD and autopilot at the last minute on a non-precision approach and requested a touch and go to the missed approach. Fun times and learning took place.

Happy Friday everyone! Beautiful sunrise this morning.

🛬👀: side by side views of the landing sight picture differences between the Extra Aircraft | Aerobatics 330SC and the Cirrus SR22T. (Linked reel is a Vision Jet)

The Extra is a low wing monoplane taildragger and I was coming in for a wheel landing after acrobatics practice at Ephrata, WA. The SR22T is a low wing tricycle configuration and this is landing at Boeing Field on an RNAV approach.

In the Extra, you lose sight of the runway and use your peripheral vision while the Cirrus gives you a great view of the runway throughout. Both have glass cockpits (G3X and G1000). And remember, you’re not done flying a taildragger until you’re parked!)

The Extra is an aerobatic competition beast (+/-10G!) and the SR22T is basically a personal airliner. Two different missions and two amazing airplanes!

Intercepting the localizer for the ILS Rwy 14R at Boeing Field on a picture-perfect Seattle day in the Cirrus SR22T.

We are so lucky to fly in the . Mt. Rainier, Elliott Bay, Downtown Seattle, blue skies, and the last remnants of the low morning fog. Love this approach on any day but this was spectacular!

This was returning from a trip down to Medford, OR. More pics and clips soon.
