ILS approach into KHKS

[[email protected]]

Today's approach into KHKS.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJ-Hzig3RdM

On launch celings were 600 and tops were 1700 solid OVC.

By the time I got to HKS, ceilings were about 700 and broken.

Just enough cloud coverage to justify an instrument rating as no VFR
traffic was to be found but as easy an approach can be.

Only wierd thing was above the cloud deck I had a quartering 10 knot
tail wind that decreased on descent and below the cloud deck calm as
can be.

I did this video a little differently by segmenting the video into 20
second clips and captioned the various parts of the approach.

That's not weird at all. Very common and often caused by a temp inversion.

It definately was an inversion as you say above. Ground temp was 38
and at 2000 was 50. Freezing level was 4000 but never got that high.

It's just a very unusual occurence where I fly (Madison MS) at such a
low altitude.

Well, it's the nature of an inversion to be low level!
They're generally caused by the earth cooling the air above it, so they're
typically between the surface and say, 3,000', maybe a bit higher.
