G'day Fellow Pilots, This is the second episode of a series of X-Plane 11 Flight Sim videos. I was planning on doing these videos in real life instead of on the flight sim. Based on current circumstances, X-Plane 11 is my best option for the moment. Welcome to the 2nd episode of the web series; Building Time - In Search of the Great $100 Hamburger. I will be doing a series of flights from Indianapolis Metro (KUMP) to various airports with restaurants on the field located throughout the Midwest and the Eastcoast in search of the great $100 hamburger. In this episode, we fly from Indianapolis Metro to Muncie, Indiana. The original plan was to create 10 episodes (10 mins each) in the Cessna 172S with a good friend of mine, MacKenzie, flying with me in the right seat. The main purpose was to build my flight time to qualify for the US ATP (1,500 hours). At the same time, expose MacKenzie to flying from the right hand seat so she could gain enough confidence to eventually go for her US Single Private and Single Commercial Pilots License. I am not a flight instructor, so MacKenzie would not have been able to log any flight time. However, she would have been exposed to hands on flying, various flight procedures, CTAF and ATC radio comms, Flight Planning, Navigating, Weather Briefing, etc. I was in the process of finishing up pre-production and we did a couple of test flights together with video footage when my hours at work were heavily reduced. My work hours as an Aircraft Fueler at Indianapolis International (KIND) were heavily reduced due to the Part 121 airline flight operation cutbacks. Resulting in postponing the original web series plans. Once the cash flow is back, the flights with MacKenzie will continue. I am really looking forward to that. I hope you enjoy this video. This one is not quite as long, but I still need to work on trimming these videos. Thank you for watching..

This Air Crash Investigation video is based on the Australian Transport Safety Board (ATSB) Case Number AO2015-105. At 14:10 local time, the Student Pilot departed on their first Solo Navigation flight from Point Cook (YMPC) to the township of Swan Marsh. From Swan Marsh to overfly Ballarat (YBLT) airport, then on to Melton Reservoir (MELS). From MELS, continue back to Point Cook (YMPC) airport. The weather conditions included overcast Stratocumulus cloud at about 3,000 feet Above Mean Sea Level (AMSL). Visibility was 10 km (P6SM) clear of cloud. Wind was not an issue in this case. Upon reaching Ballarat airport (YBLT), the Pilot tracked towards Melton Reservoir (MELS). East of YBLT, the terrain elevation gradually increases. The planned route between YBLT and MELS overflies Black Mount, an extinct volcano located in the town of Millbrook. The elevation of Mount Black is 2,200 feet AMSL. With the pilot cruising at about 3,000 feet AMSL, there was an approximate clearance of about 800 feet. It is believed the pilot noticed the rising terrain and spotted Mount Black. As a result, started to gently pull back on the control column to increase the terrain clearance, while still remaining clear of the overcast cloud base. When the autopilot is engaged in pitch mode and the control column pitch is manipulated, the autopilot counters any pitch input through electric trim. As a result, the electric trim moved forward, leaving the aircraft in a fully forward trim position. Upon letting go of the flight control column, the aircraft entered a rapid nose down descent due to the out of trim situation. With the engine set at a cruise setting, the aircraft accelerated in the nose down position, reducing the reaction time before contacting terrain. The pilot reacted to the situation and came very close to recovering the aircraft. The aircraft nose was level in a slight right turn when the right wing contacted the ground. The pilot did not survive the accident. The ATSB discovered that Cessna C172S ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-l0oXR_3bY0
