I will attempt to post most of my trips and experiences flying my RV-12 N25DV EABErhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11931841056820673576noreply@blogger.comBlogger21125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6390793225143812416.post-66285455049281949462014-10-02T01:07:00.000-04:002014-10-02T07:56:01.677-04:00RV12 formation practice<div class="MsoNormal">
Today Mark and I scheduled a formation practice
session. Scott was the safety pilot in
Marks plane. We were a flight of 2 RV12s. After about an hour of class review we started
our flight briefing. I was the lead or
#1 ship. The sortie was to be about 45
minutes long. Practicing very basic maneuvers;
starting with an interval take-off,
joins, breaks, strong left and right, cross unders, and trail.<br />

We set a hard deck of 2000 with no more <span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%;">30* bank and 15* pitch. Our
speed was 90 kts for this practice session, which seems to be a good speed for
a 4 ship element. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

and most of the maneuvers were on the right. (Still got some good footage)<o:p></o:p></span><br />

me for 3 ship loose flight. Brent

Our flight plan would take us east of Allentown heading to Cherry Ridge. On our way back we chose to take a western track of Allentown. The colors in the trees were brighter the further East of Allentown. My guess the will hit the best colors next weekend. </span><br />

Mark and I met up in the air over his airport and flew underneath the Philly class B space. Flight altitude was 1600 ft just under the 2000 ft floor for the first ring. Nice day to fly, a short 25 min trip by air versus a 1:20 drive.</span></span></span><br />

There are many reasons I and others fly, just a few of mine - </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ul>
<li>the freedom of
leaving the earth</li>
<li>the focus on the task of flying with the feeling there is nothing else
going on in the world except the focus on flying</li>
<li>very rewarding feeling to know as a pilot you are in a very small
club and even smaller number of pilot builders</li>
<li>my favorite is sharing the
passion of flying with people and other pilots. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is always a privilege to share flight with young adult through programs
like young eagles. I like to believe you will occasionally inspire a future pilot. Another way I enjoy flight is to share the flight with a student pilot or
a new pilot and that's what brings me to write today’s blog. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I know Rich through a pilot’s web forum and have shared ideas
and thoughts about flying. He was just
finishing his pilot training and about to take his check-ride. Last fall I invited him to join me on a flight to a local fly-in. the flight was a short 45 min trip.
The flight was good, he got a little stick time with the RV12. Rich was ready for his check ride and demonstrated
that he would not have any problems with the test standards. We causally discussed the exam and standards for the sport pilot license.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
Today I received an email from Rich. He is a proud owner of a Sport Cruiser similar
to the pictures below.<o:p></o:p></div>

Hi Dave,<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
I just purchased a 2011
SportCruiser… 225 hours… absolutely mint.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
Very unique opportunity!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
Dave, I wanted to say thank you
again for that flight with you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
It really made an impression on
me:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
first time to a small local
fly-in and experience of PA by air<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
** But mostly how you were so
meticulous about your aircraft and the way you use it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
Everything was highly organized
and precise.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
Seriously… I've flown with quite
a few people… many very good pilots and owners…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
but there was just something
that impressed me about the way you did it…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
… the little details at your
fingertips. Like the checklist and tunes on the 796 etc.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
… but not just that… it kind of
carried over to everything. It was a MINDSET.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
It was like "Ahhhh… so this
is how you do it right when you have your own plane."<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
Hope you are doing well in a
happy marriage, new job & flying.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
See you at a fly-in!!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin-left: .5in;">
best,<o:p></o:p></div>

I am almost as happy as he is with his new baby. One more pilot with a beautiful plane to
continue sharing the passion of flight.<o:p></o:p></div>

I flew to breakfast, Sky Manor (N40), with a few friends. Peg couldn't go due to home work (Yuk), so Al was co-pilot. We met up with Mark and Nora in the air over Pottstown @ 2500 feet. We had prearranged to fly formation and shoot
some pics of Marks’ very nice RV9. The
workmanship on this bird is unbelievable.
I also talked to Joe at the hanger before leaving and also planned on a few
formation photos of his nice T34 in route. A
little harder for him to slow down enough for my Slow Plane! (LOL)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Great day for flying very clear, winds 8 kts from the north,
69 deg, and the view was unbelievable. We
could see the Philly and NY skylines from the air.<o:p></o:p><br />

This weekend was great with 3 fly-in’s in 2 days. I already discussed the Wing N Wheels on Sat
and Today (Sunday) Started off the day at 6:30 heading out to help the move the
Fairchild that the local EAA 1250 chapter is restoring. The fuselage
was towed out for display at the 60<sup>th</sup> annual PAOP fly-in Breakfast.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I took photos as our guest flew into KPTW. My guess we had 40 to 50 planes arrive that morning. Besides the planes many of the car buffs brought their show ready cars for display. The members of the PAOP put together a great event and breakfast, by the number of attendees from the community it was a resounding success. </div>

One of the best thing that happen at fly-in's is to share the passion for flying, but even better watching the smiles on the kids faces. You never know did you help inspire a future aviator!</div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%;">Around 11:00 am, I jump in the RV12 with another pilot friend (Bob H).
We taxied down and meet up with Scott and his RV8. We were going
over to Sky Manor for their fly-in, but before we started up we had prearranged
a formation fly-by for the crowd at the PAOP at KPTW. Scott and I taxied
our and with a formation takeoff staying in the pattern, then at pattern altitude
on final approach (SMOKE - ON) as we passed over the runway in formation.</span><br />

Four ship Flight from KPTW to N30 Cherry Ridge for
breakfast. (Mark’s Rv9, Scott’s RV8, Bob’s
Comanche and my Rv-12. Mark B flew with
me since his RV12 was down for some panel upgrades). Weather was good except low clouds with a low
broken layer @ 2000 and broken @ 3500.
We decide to fly between the layers.
We landed at Cherry Ridge with 10 kts winds from the south. <o:p></o:p></div>

Tonight we had dinner at the Chester County airport (The
Flying Time Machine ). We took our time
getting to KMQS, about 20 min flight the long way. The photos below are from Heritage Field

Had a great dinner and took our time enjoying the
diner. Took off about an hour to sunset,
smooth air and it seemed you could see forever.
The Philly skyscrapers were lite
up by the west setting sun. We were
about 30 mile out, but at 2500 feet you could see downtown very clearly. It was
so nice out we made it a 40 flight back and detoured over King Of Prussia and then NE back to KPTW.<o:p></o:p></div>

I got up early and headed to the airport to fly to Peg's Toms
River house. Winds were 6 from 28, winds at 2000 were 22 going down to the shore and was just a short 30 min trip ( nice tail wind ). I called up McGuire approach (McGuire AFB) and went
straight through the military space. I wish I had my camera going as I was
instructed maintain my heading and 3000 ft altitude so a KC 10 Tanker taking off and could passed 1000
feet underneath me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I landed at Ocean County Airport (KMJX) and tied down N25DV, then got the rental car. I was at the
house working in 8 mins. It was better to fly verses the 2.3 hour drive. So round trip was about a 1 hour flying instead of 5 hours in the truck. <o:p></o:p></div>

Got back to the KMJX and the wind was up to 10 kts gusting to 15 kts and just east of there at McGuire AFB, winds were 12kts gusting to 22 kts. Weather was coming in with spotty showers. I navigated around some of the showers, other than a little bumpy it was a great trip. I also used the GRT autopilot and it work flawlessly after making some adjustments yesterday.</div>

Today went out and cleaned the hanger and then played with
the wing tip mounted GoPro. I flew for
about 45 min, shot some stills and edited down a 1 ½ min video. The video starts with crosswind
departure heading north towards ButterValley, playing with smoke in the sky and
then heading back for a landing on 28.<br />

This way I didn't permanently attach it to the wing. The top and bottom
sandwich it to hold it in place. Easy on
in a minute and padded to protect the paint, thanks bob for the machining <br />

Today was a great day of formation training. Went up and practiced with Scott for the 4<sup>th</sup>
of July parade in Pottstown. We will be
starting off the parade with a two ship formation (smoke and all) above the
parade route. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
After the initial briefing,
we prepared to take off from Pottstown Muni and headed north as “Dragon Flight
of 2”. We both took off in formation
using interval take offs and once in the air I joined up on Scott as the #2
plane in route. Route formation is not
as tight, but still close. After route
position was established we got into finger formation. <o:p></o:p><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BhXsJSW9JzE/U7CfQIz67bI/AAAAAAAAAv0/yBA8n-rfb14/s1600/finger+formation.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BhXsJSW9JzE/U7CfQIz67bI/AAAAAAAAAv0/yBA8n-rfb14/s1600/finger+formation.JPG" /></a></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
As discussed in the
briefing we worked on signals and maneuvers.
Our next maneuver was the cross
under from the left to the right. We
practiced a few of those on each side. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h2ZIyj5_ar0/U7CfWWva2lI/AAAAAAAAAwI/9IBHI7IP6b4/s1600/trail+formation.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-h2ZIyj5_ar0/U7CfWWva2lI/AAAAAAAAAwI/9IBHI7IP6b4/s1600/trail+formation.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
Next was close trail,
down and back of his RV 8. After a
flying a little in close trail Scott called for Extended Trail and if not
already the fun level got turned up. In
extended Trail the lead will conduct
large Lazy 8s to allow wingmen to use slight lead and lag on the aircraft in
front to maintain 500 -1000' spacing in trail.
Simple terms follow the leader; my concentration level was very high as
we gracefully danced through the sky. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
As we rapped up, he
signaled me and put me back into finger formation and Return to Base (RTB) we
headed back to KPTW Heritage field, our home.
We entered the pattern for an OVERHEAD PATTERN (BREAK / PITCHOUT) to a
landing using the Hot and cold side method.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br />
Spacing was perfect and I
could have asked for anything better other than video from the ground. We taxied in while in formation,the turn in perfect
<em><b><span style="background: white; color: #545454; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-style: normal;">Synchronization</span></b></em> and shut off the
engines. (Way Cool). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br />
Then the dreaded debriefing
was next, Scott took it easy on me, but lots to work on and practice, practice,
practice. All in all I was happy, but as
with everything the more you know the less you know. <o:p></o:p></div>

Sunday I took a quick RV12 flight around the Limerick (KPTW) area, with Peg. I wanted to check out a few things with the avionics and test the autopilot. It was perfect for her to enjoy the scenery without being bounce around. Temps were 65 degrees @ 2500 ft; visibility was greater than 20 miles and winds calm and variable. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pulling out of my driveway on the way to the hanger the neighbors were on their deck. Quick pleasantries and they asked what we were doing. We said heading to the airport for a quick flight, so they quickly said fly over the house since we are cooking out and will be here. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We got to the airport and did the prefight check and took-off heading south from KPTW. </div>

As I stated above the view was great. We could see downtown Philly. Came over the house and saw them waving. We were 1000 ft above; I didn't want to drop to the minimums, also cut back power so we were quiet, then headed back around for another pass. Decided to make their day or mine, turned on smoke leaving a trail for them. Then continued on for the next 20 min just enjoying the view and playing with the avionics<br />

This past Sunday Memorial Weekend 2014 we had a 5 ship flight to
NJ. Scott (RV8), Mark (RV12) and me
(RV12) out of Limerick – KPTW, took off about 8:30 am headed east to South
Jersey Regional - KVAY. Meeting us there
was Dave (RV12) and Jonathan (piper) from Cecil County 58M. Our first leg of the flight was less than 30 min;
temps were in the mid 70’s and smooth air at that time. We stayed under the Philly area space to
KVAY. Great visibility, overall a very nice
flight!</div>

There is a group of very hardworking students building a RV12 as a project at Wings Field (KLOM). I have been over to visit them a few times and today took one of the students up flying in N25DV. Naial got to have some stick time and is a natural :). Flights like this are arranged under the EAA Young Eagles program. The EAA program provides introduction to flying for many young men and woman.</span><br />

Last Friday went flying windy day, but not too bad. Took off
from KPTW on runway 28 with winds at 10 kt @ 310, (head wind of 9 kt and 5 kt
x-wind component). Flew toward West Virginia to meet Dave Farmer for lunch,
winds at 2000 were 35 to 40 kts. Fun bumpy ride :) <o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
We decided to turn back because of low
clouds at Bryce and change our plans to eat lunch at a different airport.
Landed at Smoketown airport S37 on runway 28 with winds 11 kts @ 325, (Head
wind of 8 kts and 8 kts x-wind component). No problems nice smooth
landing :)<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
We went in and had lunch for about an hour
when we came back the winds had picked up a little more, but more down the
runway about 310<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>@ 13 kt.
The runway is narrow and short, I had to dance on the right brake for
takeoff until the speed picked up and I had full rudder authority.
On our way back we had a 45 kt tail wind @ 3000 ft. This made
for a quick trip back to KPTW. - Ground speed of 162 kts<o:p></o:p></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Heritage ASOS reported winds at 14
gusting to 23<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>@ 355.
Landing on runway 28 with winds at 14 kt @ 355,( head wind of 4
kt and 14 kt x-wind component). To make it even more interesting I was #
2 with a good friend behind me # 3 to land. He was kind enough to make
comment on the radio on how windy it was for that little plane and a little
more. This is the normal fun ribbing to expect from the other pilots at
Heritage.</div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;">
Turn final and hit the wind, added power
with a crab. On short final setting up for a forward slip and tested how
much rudder authority the RV12 had. Never ran out of rudder and setup for
10 knots faster with first notch of flaps. She was moving around with the
wind, but really felt stable. I came over the fence with 5 kts extra and
touch down was a non-event, after slowing down I had to apply a little more
right brake to stay straight. <span style="font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

I am moving up the conditional by one month to take advantage of the down time. Updated my check list, downloaded all of the SB's that may apply. I have the needed parts and oil to complete the task this weekend. All of software updates are loaded on the laptop and heading to the airport tonight (KPTW) to begin the updates and start opening up the plane for inspection on Sat. I am fortunate to have a heated insulated heater with the temperatures in the 20s. <br />
