Cessna Skylane Flying From Bridgeport, CT (KBDR) To Newport News, VA (KPHF) 11/27/10
May 25, 2011
Two friends and I made this flight down to Newport News, VA (KPHF) for no specfic reason other than to fly someplace down south. We had originally been kicking around the idea of making a flight all the way down to Florida but, due to there not being enough good weather days over the Thanksgiving weekend, we shortened the destination to someplace we could get down to and back comfortably with only one overnight. Even still, at 288.1nm straight line distance, it’s my farthest destination so far. Unfortunately, this flight was plagued by technical difficulties (with the video recording, not the plane!!). My left side view camera stopped recording about mid-way through the flight, my audio recorder battery died almost and hour before landing, and my cameras were picking up a lot of vibrations. So I made the best out of the footage I had for this one. I’m still trying to fine tune my set-up and I’m trying to figure out some kind of vibration absorbers that I might be able to put between the cameras and the mounts so that the cameras are not “directly” connected to the mounts. Also I plan to do some testing without the image stabilization turned on. I’m not sure if that could be contributing to the wobble. If anyone has had any experience with that, please let me know. Enjoy and thanks again for watching!!! www.SkylaneCaptain.com
Flight from Beaufort SC to Hilton Head SC

Alarus from ARW to HXD solo. A bit of a cross wind so I only used 1/2 flaps and carried some extra speed through my approach which is why there was a bit of float.
(27) Car Cam: Cigarette Discarded From Car in 45C Degree Heat
May 10, 2011
Observation(s): – White ute driven slowly in the fast passing lane – Same white ute discards cigarette out of window, (& hitting my car) in a total fire ban environment during a heat wave of extreme high temperatures. Just selfish behaviour, it wouldn’t take much for the terrain here to just flare up with any ignition point. Granted that whilst this is a criminal offence, that shouldn’t be the deterrent. Every Australian surely knows the reality of bush fires… Conditions: Ridiculously hot, 45C (as per car temperature gauge) This is in the middle of a 10 day stretch of min night temps around 35C and day temps between 42-69C – not loving it! Date/Time: Saturday, 31 Jan 2009 around 1300 Current Road Toll: www.dtei.sa.gov.au What:Driving Diary (12 month experimental project) Where: South Australia Why: To record 12 months of my life driving, and in the process reflect on my own driving behaviour and to possibly highlight how other ppl’s behaviours can impact negatively on us. Accidents can be so easily avoided. Sound: I only keep one CD in the car and change that weekly, so there will be some repetition. GPS also makes a few sounds and audible directions. This is for educational (not punitive) purposes, it is my belief that citizens shouldn’t police other citizens. Further Info – Road Traffic Act (1961): www.legislation.sa.gov.au
