It's kind of a test for me to see how it turns out, so if it's available on YouTube and it probably came out halfway decent, I appreciate you watching the video and I hope you enjoyed a I start a little differently in the style of a night flight. looking at the weather center, a good friend of mine told me this was when I was doing a vision jet, uh soe, which is a supervised operational experience, I've been feeling old here for a long time, but when I was doing it after getting my picture type rating on the vision jet while it says maximum if you are cross or you are in a non-critical flight stage and you are not doing something, you are doing something wrong, you know the voice must be the The weather is productive, you know, looking two or three steps forward, so yeah, we'll take a look at the weather here: 130 knots, 130 degrees, uh, eight knots, 138, 10 miles clear and it's 12 degrees Celsius, so it'll be a really nice night at home.

I'm going to turn off the cameras here and we'll turn them back on to get to White Plains. Okay, we're back, we just switched from Boston to another Boston center frequency, so let's check now. good evening quote from boston center 2 romeo fox shot 17-2 going down to 1 to 4 000. alpha foxtrot from you alpha november locator figures for my 160 westchester very good thank you director fahren for joining the locator for one six to our mailbox lo we'll do get the checklist here, weather, the usual, decent pressurization is definitely good, old Westchester at 439 feet, lights are fine and we don't need to do defogging, avionics arrangements are checked and configured, we'll do the approach to the runway. 1.6 which is 109.7 the final approach course is 163 glide slopes in zimmer 6 39 is a position altitude that is established one twice doubles the zimmer gladstone if we have to miss it is a thousand feet on the runway heading then a turn ascending left for three thousand I'm heading one five zero and the exit laguardia zero four four radial to insist on the 23.5 dma, so good things, hopefully, won't have to happen tonight and that is that the fuel transfer is off. zero the lights are fine, there are no passengers.
