Ryan Smith - Time-Builder Pilot at CKV, HVC, JWN, JWY, LNC, M91

We’ve all been practicing soft field takeoffs and landings since working towards PPLs, but for most that consists of simulated conditions on an asphalt runway. I’ve been working towards my CSEL and my CFI said it’s time to do the real thing.

This was my first flight in Actual IMC during training for my instrument rating. I flew this approach down to minimums and cleared clouds at about 25ft above the DA.
