Instrument Rated!
I flew the test today with steam gauges and no autopilot - and got several real world hold orbits for landing jet traffic :P.
Hand flying that was challenging!
Too tired to share more details now - but thanks to everyone who helped with this journey!

It's happening. There are real companies who will just use an AI-created rip of my voice to promote their stuff. And there's really no repercussions for it other than being known as this scummy shady company that is willing to stoop that low to sell some product

8PM EDT: This is nothing short of astronomical. I am at a loss for words to meteorologically describe you the storms small eye and intensity. 897mb pressure with 180 MPH max sustained winds and gusts 200+ MPH. This is now the 4th strongest hurricane ever recorded by pressure on this side of the world. The eye is TINY at nearly 3.8 miles wide. This hurricane is nearing the mathematical limit of what Earth's atmosphere over this ocean water can produce.
It's what happened AFTER the Wrong way landing that put me in a terrible spot!

BIG-TIME TORNADO THREAT this afternoon across a large part of the Northeast US from Buffalo to Rochester through Syracuse with the remnants of Beryl infused with a potent upper-level trough. This is a textbook tornado producer. Live update coming later this morning!
👊

Also attending will be our Canso and Gift Shop. 📷Derek Mickeloff
I'd already scrubbed my plan to fly across souther Ontario today - the forecasts are messy and uncertain - and then Mark confirms he's head out for a storm chase day, which validated my decision 🤓
Ok, a quick tour before I head out. @MitsubishiCAN @weathernetwork #onstorm Also, there is a slight risk of tornadoes NW of the GTA today.

On the recommendation of @FlightChops I picked up this @GarminAviation @Garmin InReach mini 2… now I feel safe knowing I can get help if anything ever goes wrong in the aircraft, and my family feels at ease.. a great addition during my recent trip to Manitoulin Island.
Great Aviation info here:
