Default Believe it or not -- video

Good following of checklists.


Appreciate the feedback and compliments!

I was surprised you thought my finals were shallow, so I went back to
the video to see what you were talking about.

For KJAN, actually I was high. Kinda hard to see, but on the right
side of the runway, the the PAPI on the right had 4 whites at 5:34 in
the video. By 5:37 I did drop below "glide slope" as you can clearly
see the four reds on the right. (That transition time, I had cut out
10 seconds of final to "speed it up").

Can't see HKS too well, but the camera was zoomed in. (second landing)

For KMBO in the brief view of the final appraoch at 6:56 you can see I
have two whites on the VASI on the left side of the runway. (third
landing)

**Generally** I tend to "err" on the high side of my visual approaches
and then once I know I have it made, just ease the power back and aim
between the numbers and the 1000 foot markers.
