In this video, I explain the recent upgrade I made to the Vans RV-12 Light Sport airplane to make it IFR capable and IFR legal. This includes flying into IMC (instrument meteorological conditions). I’ll explain what I had to do to install a new Garmin GPS175 IFR navigator, then we’ll go for a flight to practice some RNAV GPS approaches and follow the glide slope down to LPV minimums. LPV minimums on an approach are as good or better than an ILS approach in most cases.
The only way to legally fly Instrument Flight Rules in a Light Sport Aircraft is to take a close look at the regulations for experimental aircraft.
No airplane owner seems to talk about these aspects of aircraft ownership. In this video, we go over some of the unknown items to help you prepare for your journey into buying and caring for an airplane.

Join me as I take an exhilerating flight in a Robinson R22 with my older brother, Nicolas. The flight started at about 8:15 pm, so the light only lasted a few moments. I apologize for the scratchy audio in the beginning, but enjoy the sights and sounds of flying in a small helicopter

After working hard all summer, it was time to rent a plane and get out of town. This was the first time I have ever rented a plane overnight. Join Caralyn and I on our adventure to the oldest city in the USA: St. Augustine!
The flight was in a modified Cessna 172N with 180 hp. We flew from Orlando Executive KORL to Northeast Florida Regional KSGJ.

Yes, you can become a pilot of a powered airplane and take passengers in just 10 hours of required flight time. What's the deal? The Private Pilot Glider rating. After learning about this rating, I couldn't believe it takes just HALF the time of becoming a Sport Pilot. All it requires is the airplane to be registered as a glider or motor glider. The Pipistrel Alpha Trainer can be registered as a light sport, homebuilt experimental, or motorglider. As a motorglider, you get all the perks of a light sport airplane in half of the flight training time. (Refer to FAR 61:109 and 61:129)
As a motorglider, you have many privileges that a sport pilot doesn't such as flying at night, taking more than 1 passenger, and flying higher than 10,000 feet.

It was around 7 a.m. when I took the Blade QX 350 out for a spin. There was a low level layer of clouds that made for some spectacular video!

A quick video about my recent night currency flight. After practicing at KORL, I decided to go check out one of my favorite tiny airports FA83 at night. I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to see the runway, but the dim lights were just enough.
I know it's hard to see some of the footage, but it's cool to see the approach comparison with the day flight
