I was with another pilot who is beginning IA training so I figured to
shoot an approach so she could see what it entails. If I had to
estimate, about 15 to 20 feet difference between me and a large bird
sharing the same airspace.while on short final

First part of the video in real time, second part slowed down.

I kind of compiled it in what I hope is a user friendly format for the

hear me talk about the characteristics of a Sundowner as compared to a
Cessna

Comments (good, bad and ugly) always most appreciated! :D .
