ILS approach and VOR Alpha Approach video
Knocked out a couple of approaches today in IMC conditions. Was cut
short due to a vacuum system problem (note, not the pump). Ceilings 1500 at KJAN and 1400 on my approach into KMBO. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCvDb3mCAf8 Just after entering the clouds, saw my attitude indicator show an extraordinary pitch up. Quick scan of my airspeed and VSI did not confirm. Since I was IMC decided to continue approach and just work my partial panel skills. Turning back wasn't an option. In the full scheme of things, no big deal. Camera was placed on glare shield for the outside view since I didn't have a passenger It would have been nice to capture the instrumentation discrepancies if anything for others to see it happen under real conditions .but somebody had to man the shop and reaching for the camera myself was not an option in IMC.. After settling in, just contacted approach and advised them I didn't have a vacuum system, and would use ground track for my heading directions. When asked my intentions, I said to continue my ILS approach into KJAN and then VOR Alpha back to Madison with vectors. I had in my mind if it was too much work, just would do a full stop at KJAN. ATC asked if I needed any assistance and I declined as everything really was under control. Used my VSI as my "attitude indicator" figuring if it was level, airplane was level. If it pointed down, then I figured my nose was pointed down, and vice versa for pitch up. While I could have used the TC for bank information, I found it much easier in my scan just to use the ground track on the Garminm 430. If it changed, I figured the plane was banking. Problem I think (still getting this checked into) is the vacuum regulator as my vacuum gauge was reading 6 out of possible high of 7. Time will tell... Allen |

wrote in : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCvDb3mCAf8 You're videos are always so professional and entertaining. You have my sincere gratitude for all your effort. I picked one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-HDC-...937 10&sr=8-1 Panasonic HDC-SD9 AVCHD 3CCD Flash Memory High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom List Price: $799.95 Price: $568.88 You Save: $231.07 (29%) Don't forget to order an SD card along with the camcorder. It's incredibly small, very few moving parts. The ability to create High Definition video at this time places you in the role of pioneer, as most things have not yet been captured in that medium. |

I wonder about the file size on HD videos? How big are they? 1 minute video on my camera = 10 meg. Have you tried your camera inside a plane? What I have been doing on my last two videos is putting my pocket size Kodak Easy Share on the glareshield propped up with my portfolio that doesn't slide around. Works very well in smooth and light turbulence thus far. Obviously anything more then that, camera wouldn't be even turned on. Wondering if the above would work with yours or would you need a tripod (or sticky pod) to mount the camera? I am all for pioneering new things :-) |

What I have been doing on my last two videos is putting my pocket size Kodak Easy Share on the glareshield propped up with my portfolio that doesn't slide around. Does the Kodak have active image stabilization? Works very well in smooth and light turbulence thus far. Obviously anything more then that, camera wouldn't be even turned on. Wondering if the above would work with yours or would you need a tripod (or sticky pod) to mount the camera? I would expect your arrangement to work as well with the Panasonic as the Kodak. I am all for pioneering new things :-) It's an opportunity, the window of which is closing... What video editing software do you use? The Panasonic software is only basic. Nero or Pinnacle seem to do a good job (better under XP32 than Vista64) with AVCHD format. I picked up a 3GHz Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Extreme CPU X9650 with 4GB of DDR3 RAM running at 1,333 MHz and two 10,000 rpm CDC Vipers in a RAID 0 configuration from Robert at XI Computer: http://www.xicomputer.com/ . That helps minimize waiting for video processing. |

Not so sure it would work on You Tube too well with my Bellsouth DSL bandwidth. Does the Kodak have active image stabilization? Yes, and this probably made my landings much better on video :-) 7530 is the series I am using. What video editing software do you use? Windows Movie Maker is my flavor of choice. Easy to compress file size when neede with Windows Movie Maker. |
