Hi All,
Once each season I’m obliged to schedule a checkride on our various pilots, and be obnoxious enough to make things fail, while in the PITA seat. I was really impressed this year, and documented how they handled it.

Really good video Dave, spot on.

I was once flying my 4 engined heavy on an ILS in pretty poor wx at an airfield located in class A airspace. Clear to land – and as we broke out of the low overcast and just gone heads-up a C172 appeared ahead of us. Turned out he was non radio and lost. We went around and flew a second approach, he landed. Surprises do happen Dave.

We got a block of controlled airspace from Terminal.
It’s our preference, a cleared block from 3-5000′ of Class C airspace within gliding range of the runway. No one else in it. The airspace around Ottawa (nation’s capitol) is very complicated, but occasionally we can make it work to our advantage.
Also, as I edit a video, I try to take out most of the scanning snappy head movements — they make the viewer puke.

Yeah, all very well, but surprised at how little ‘scanning’ for other traffic took place during the flying.
