"Fantasy" Flight - Video
Yesterday's "Fantasy" IFR flight from Bessemer AL back home to Madison
MS. KMBO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5GMej00GrhE Cumulus cloud bases were 5000 estimated to 8000 feet. My cruise altitude was 6000. One has to admit, the view at 6000 was more photogenic then Interstate 20 and 59! http://flightaware.com/live/flight/N...910Z/KEKY/KMBO Magic of flight at it's finest with one of my better landings to finish it off! |

Since you had only a 100 ft of altitude to gain to completely miss the clouds (as per video), why not get on top? LOL, you got me confused, 6000 was my cruise, tops were estimated 8000, my math sez 2000 feet of altitude to gain to clear the tops??? Or is there something in the video that I may have mistyped?? Anyhow, to clarify why I couldn't go to 8000 IFR westbound was because there is a MOA in my flight path that the floor begins at 8000, so I wouldn't have gotten GPS direct, so I selected 6000. 4000 is too low for GPS direct as it is below center and Meridian approach radar coverage. |

Naw, I was speaking about the part that you videod, it appeared that you were clipping the tops when there was clearance only a few feet above. Were you "in between" at 6000 A or what am I missing? |

I gotchya. Yes, I could have climbed a few feet to clear the clouds, but since I was on an IFR flight, I don't deviate from my assigned altitude. I was at 6000 when I was clipping the cloud tops If it means clipping or entering a cloud, that was why I tortured myself getting that IA rating. Plus, while in cruise, I had hands off flying so why change a stable as a table plane to climb a few feet to avoid some clouds. |
