My Toughest approach of 2017! ILS to Minimums

Now that this video has been posted a few days, I feel it necessary to respond to the number of comments that have told me I busted minimums. Let me lead off by saying, if you have watched any of my videos from the last several years, you will know that I fly very conservatively. You won't find me blasting through thunderstorms or playing it loose with the regs. I've been flying for over 35 years without incident to include a full military career flying the F-16. And I intend to remain incident free.
Some people have mistakenly been led to believe that the "Minimums, minimums" call came right at minimums on this approach. It did not. The Collins Proline 21 allows you to set either baro min or radar min as your minimum altitude. That altitude will drive the minimum call. The selector allows you to set that altitude in 10' increments. The decision height for this approach was 1122. The baro min was set at 1130. On the approach at 42:50 time stamp, you can start to see some cloud break up and see the ground below. That camera is looking DOWN. As I transition to the front camera, you can see nothing but clouds. That camera is not looking down but actually looking up in line with the angle of attack of the aircraft. In that camera, at 42:56 you can start to see some ground below even though the camera is looking forward and slightly up. AT 43:06 I get the minimums call. At that same time I call the runway environment in sight. You can hear me say "There it is" referring to the runway. At 43:08 I click off the autopilot and land uneventfully.
The cameras because of their own limitations and the angle they are pointed do not pick up the runway environment until shortly after I called it out. Let me say with great emphasis. I would not proceed below minimums. You are simply to close to the ground to be doing anything that stupid. And, speaking of stupid, had I actually busted minimums, the last place you'd find a person who has spent the last 35 years devoting their life and passion to flying is posting the videos on social media.
Now, I know a few of you are "experts" out there. You list all your qualifications as you state your flawed opinion as to why I busted minimums. But, you must keep in mind that the camera does not pick up what the eye does. Before you go and throw your convictions on me that I went below minimums, go film your own approach to minimums and see if the camera picks it up at the same time as you do. But until you do that, please reserve your comments.
Minimums are minimums. Don't ever proceed below them without having the runway environment in sight. Never. It's really that simple.

    • Right on Doug, if people would read the reg very carefully, they would understand there were no minimums broken. The day I got my instrument rating, I had to fly back to my home airport and my approach looked exactly like this. Scared me a bit, but didn't break any regs.

At 5'4" & 160 I'd probably have a bit of an easier time getting between the seats, though. I could probably stand there without ducking ... :D Man, that was some SOCKED-IN fog there! WOW - that was a first for me as well. Never have watched a video of IFR right to minimums before. Have to admit, I probably would've been a little nervous on that one. :) Nice job, as usual! Love when the clouds are right below you at cruise - I get a better perspective of just how fast you're going. Love that! I could even see the difference in takeoff performance over your summer videos - came through and away from the clouds REAL fast! Must've been fun - I know that would never get old for me.

  • There is no greater feeling than knowing you can fly in IMC and land safely. I was in awe when I accomplished my first real instrument landing at minimums in a Piper Aztec E. As Greg mentioned at the end, the first item on the checklist is always the pilot's comfort level in flying in IMC especially at minimums. Same thing goes for M.E.L'.s Don't fly just because your working equiment is legal. If there are items/systems not working that make you feel unfcomfortable then get them fixed before you fly.

  • This is the second of your videos I've watched. But this was particularly relevant to me, as I worked every one of those Chicago Center sectors through which you flew (and many more besides). I was a controller at ZAU for 25 years (with 5 more before that at another facility). I'll tell you a little inside joke. AHMED sits on V10 in the PLANO sector. I didn't have need to use it very often, but when I did, I always pronounced it as "ACHMED", as it might be in a language with "ah" in the word. I don't know if anyone else ever did, but it made me chuckle when I heard it in your clearance. I've been gone for 20 years now, so I didn't recognize any voices, but 127.07 and 135.75 were definitely frequencies I spent a lot of time working from 1973 through 1997. Oh, and I'm also an instrument rated pilot, so I get off on that, too. All of my training was in the age of dinosaurs with steam gauges ('66/'67), so all of that discussion of simulators also made me chuckle. One word defines the difference between the simulator experience and real airplane experience: Gs. Also might as well include control feedback, too, but nothing substitutes for bouncing around in the practice area on a partly cloudy day in South Florida during the summer.

  • I'm not sure how anyone who WASN'T in the cockpit can declare with 100% certainty that minimums were busted. Like you said, what the camera angle sees and what the pilot sees aren't necessarily the same thing. How many times do cameras not pick up traffic, or not give a clear view of the field when the pilot has it in sight? Ahh the joys of Internet "experts"...

A passenger !!! Every one was gasping and praying but my man got us down safely , God bless the navy

  • Flew 29hrs in 150s back in 1967. Unfortunately, flying priced itself out of my budget. Did about 1hr under the hood, learned to trust instruments, but basically, always VFR. Great new technology, terrific equipment, but my stomach still tightens when I see only gray. Great relief when visual becomes reality around minimums. Have to hand it to you- great flying, calm resolve, and sage advice!
