This was by far the most challenging #IFR approach I’ve ever flown, AND it was after a full day of flying 900 miles. It feels great to have added this experience to my log book; I’m mostly happy with how it went, but after debriefing, there are a few things I’d do differently, and I’m curious to hear community feedback.

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:

I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 20 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
