Default Flight to Natchez MS with ATC and FSS COMS - Video

Yesterday's flight to Natchez MS KHEZ.

While enroute, I filed a PIREP with FSS. Video includes screenhots on
how that PIREP shows up at http://adds.aviationweather.gov/

I filed a PIREP on my return trip which included a turbulence report
of light chop below 2000, and that went a little smoother. That
report is displayed on the third line of the ADDS and also on the
graphic map with the green arrow in Mississippi in the video.

Video also includes how I do my "airport briefing" before I begin my
descent, and before landing checklist.

On final, I tried to keep the left side of the cowling on the center
line to maintain centerline tracking for the Xwinds, Surface winds
were 10 gusting to 14 yet above the tree line, winds were much
stronger as my ground speed was 60 knots.

I was trying to keep the left side of the cowling on the centerline.
Winds were really squirrely as you will see me using a lot of rudder
input.
