Hi David! Thanks for posting - Enjoyed the Audio on the Skyhawk. I noticed your error on downwind as others have and appreciate that you had the courage to post it. We all do everything possible to conduct every flight safely, but it only takes a second... To all the "perfect" aviators out there, keep on doing what your doing.. Having been out of the skies for 15 years and then putting in 139 hours over the past 11 months to get Competent again - the majority of it instrument training in the Chicago area, I've witnessed dozens of screw-ups from Southwest pilots (don't mean to pick on you guys!) and corporate pilots who messed up on the ground & in the air, holding on the unprotected side, setting up to land on the wrong runway, etc.. I even had a Controller at a towered nearby airport tell a Cirrus getting ready to depart to "line up and wait" on the departure end of (Let's say ... to protect the names and airport) runway 28 - Just as I was dropping below 200 feet approaching the numbers on 28! He got the aircraft number of the Cirrus mixed up with a corporate jet getting ready to take off a mile away on the intersecting runway. I caught it right away when I heard him transpose the N numbers and climbed and stepped to the right a bit.. The poor guy in the Cirrus freaked out when he saw me (likely just as he turned left onto the runway) and gunned it down the runway (without clearance) and side stepped to the left to get away from me - He was off like a rocket and at 500ft just as I crossed the numbers!

Back in the day, when 200 hours were required before one could get an IFR, I declared an emergency when I found myself on a scuddy day. Decided right then, at 200 hours I WOULD HAVE MY IFR TICKET. And did. Always wondered though with the old rule how many sub 200 hour pilots found the ground abruptly and with excessive velocity who were effectively chased out of the training process once they got their license (most received after about 40 hours)

He was going back to "Augusta" which is where I fly out of. 3AU - Augusta Municipal - right outside of Wichita. I'm in the Air Force and have been trained up through my instrument by a 37 year COL. He said that as soon as I was done, he was moving his plane from there. Reason being is there's this flight instruction team down there called "Prey Aviation" which takes applicants from Singapore who fly down to Ponca City all the time for their solo X-Country time. They are consistently making horrendous mistakes and I've had so many near misses with them. Most of the time it's them entering a right traffic pattern on 18 when in reality it's a left traffic pattern. No matter how many times my COL and I have spoken to them, they still do the same thing because 36 is right traffic due to the AFB and they get it confused. This video was full of "it's a small world" moments because my friend flies out of GPH in a Cherokee and I frequent up there. One day, he told me about a Baron that had entered a Right Pattern on 18 and caused him to extend. Little did I know that I'd be watching the video about that event. It was a good lesson for him so he wasn't necessarily upset but rather confused lol.

I had to roll it back a couple of times to make sure I heard it right. I live in El Dorado, but used to work there at AMA back in the 70’s as a flight line tech, gassing up planes. De-icing, going to get planes and take them back to hangers. On Saturday’s I was off but I would go and just sit and watch the airplanes. If someone asked if I wanted to go for a flight, as long as I knew them I would go. Had an instructor try to fool me, asked if I wanted to go up on pretense of wanting a second pair of eyes to look at something. Problem was it was in a 150, and we had to put on chute packs. Lot of good it would have done be because he didn’t tell me what to do, if I needed it, although I’m sure I would have been yanking the handle. Found out he wanted to see if I could handle some basic aerobatics! Said he was doing it to stop asking for rides. I told him I never asked, they asked me. Tried everything and nothing bothered me, until he shut off the engine and told me we was dead stick landing. Ok, that bothers me turn it back on. Nope! Landed that way! I’m also friends with Emil Schriebner, (sp). Used to work with him as reserved deputies, then rode with him a couple times on car patrol when he worked at WPD .

There is Advisory Circular out from 2018. AC 90-66B, General Op Practices-9.1; Non-towered airport flight ops, left traffic is REQUIRED unless otherwise noted, which KGPH is shown as left traffic. He flew an incorrect traffic pattern in a busy pattern, misreported his base and initially said west, when he meant east, while spotting traffic. Three mistakes within moments of each other. I wonder how long it will be before the FAA has a KZitem/Vimeo division, where all they do is watch videos and write down call signs and fill out reports and then mandate WINGS or even annual flight reviews for all pilots, based on some of the stuff they see on here.

Way back, when I was flying, late 70's and early 80's, I was heading back to the airport from a trip. The trip had been VFR the entire way, and was forecast to be that way until well after I landed. Yeah, so much for the forecast. I got back to the airport, on top at 5,500'. Layer was all the way down to about 1,500'. Private pilot, low time, no fancy avionics like today. I eventually found a hole and went through it. In response to your wife's question about why people fly like this, any number of reasons. Poor planning, gethomeitis, changes in the weather, low time pilot with poor decision making skills. There are as many reasons as there are pilots who do it. For me, it was immaturity and stupidity, but I learned from it. Having Center declare an emergency for you, having to fill out the paperwork, etc., and maybe even a check ride with an Examiner can smarten you up real quick. I hope that pilot is looking into his Instrument Rating now.

But I'm right on the edge of Toledo in Sylvania right now, and didn't know you were from here..and to think you were right down the road from me! Wish I would have joined you on some of those flights out to Put-In-Bay, as I've been there many times, but always by boat. If you ever get back up this way..say the little Toledo Suburban (the old Wagon Wheel) airfield just north of the line, if you remember it, let me know, I'll take you out to lunch or something. Love the Baron's, amazing twins which always surprise with that performance.

Yea. She was reclined in the back the whole time snuggling with the dog (with her high fashion sandals on) and her only contribution was to say "my feet are cold" and "stay away from that guy". However, I definitely acknowledge this pilot for good abilities and professionalism (and because of that I will refrain from making any comment on his personal life).

I was thinking of slamming this guy for wrong call, but then, have I ever been on the wrong freq and didn't realize until landing? Or have I ever done something bonehead that nobody in the plane or out of not even notice? Yes I have made mistakes. I fly ALOT of hours per year, and always want the perfect flight. No missed calls, no missed turns, no high or fast approaches, perfect center line, etc. But I do still make mistakes, and this guy at least displayed his, and pointed it out to us. I do have to respect that he didn't edit that out. He pretty much called himself a bonehead and so there is no reason to kick him around for it. He is probably a lot more aware of that now. And yeah, I have been norad once, being on the wrong but very similar freq. It was the middle of the night, so it didn't matter, but still.

Mistakes happen and as long as we learn from them and grow from them that's what matters. That old expression of any Landing that you walk away from is a good one applies. That doesn't mean though that you forget your mistakes. I recall as a student pilot I was on my second or third solo flight going to an airport I was very familiar with. The weather was clear can of course I was via far. For some reason no ATC came over and asked me what my altitude was and I stated 18. He was quick to remind me that pattern altitude was 2300. I accepted the instructions and increase altitude I came in for a perfect Landing. I didn't make that mistake again. I always made sure to manage the aircraft. To know things like what the pattern altitude was. I learn to fly in smoggy Southern California and it didn't matter what time of the year one was in the air. The smog made it like flying in clouds much of the time. Try flying over Burbank, California on a weekday which really is just a hop skip and a jump from LAX. It's 5 p.m. and the Sun is going down and it's like you're stuck on the freeway with ATC providing flight follow so that everybody didn't run into one another. That was 40 years ago. Now we've got all these newfangled pieces of equipment that help flying GA. Just for reference, LAX is surrounded by extensive Class B airspace, which is difficult for VFR traffic to navigate. In particular, the airport has four large runways running east/west that have airspace protection from 10,000 feet down to the surface that is 25 statute miles wide. It is literally surrounded by 14 general aviation Airport. It's called threading the needle.

Give the guy a break. God offers special dispensations for the young and stupid. Those of us who get past that point don't forget there was a time when it might have been us doing that. I got caught on top once as a new private pilot. Actually, as I flew further and further east the ceiling dropped lower and lower. Finally, I'd had enough and popped up on top through a sucker hole. Life was beautiful up there with clear sailing... until I noticed I hadn't seen the ground in quite a while. I called flight service to mull out my options and they were suggesting I deviate about 250 miles to the south. Well, that wasn't going to work. What I did was determine the bases in Fayetteville, NC which was about 30 miles behind me at that point. So I turned around and navigated to the Fayetteville VOR. When I got there I set up a careful instrument descent from about 4,000 down to about 1200 (having been cruising at 5500 enroute). At that point in my flying career I had all of maybe two hours of instrument training. It was all I could do to just maintain wings level. When I popped out of the muck at 1200 feet, I could see C-130s parked on the tarmac below: I had violated Pope AFB's airspace! I made a very quick exit towards my destination and scud ran the rest of the way. I learned a lot about flying that day and it was just a couple of months later I started working on my instrument rating. BTW, I never did hear another word about my incursion into Pope's airspace. Never discussed it either until just now. Thankfully, the statute of limitations has run out some years back. This would have been in the winter of 1979.

You were pretty hard on that VFR into IMC pilot for someone who flies a non-standard pattern and confuses all other traffic in the area... If that Cherokee didn't decide to extend his downwind, you would've flown right into him.

@@OrionFH I agree, leaving the ground as a VFR-only pilot at that time was a bad decision regardless of experience level. But to break protocol and fly right traffic while everybody else was flying left is an even worse decision (especially for someone who has enough experience to fly IFR and multi-engine aircraft).

@@ryans.5998 You may not be aware of this, but circling in via right turns was perfectly valid right up until he cancelled IFR. A visual approach allows you a great deal more latitude on getting from where you commence the approach to the numbers than a VFR traffic pattern. You aren't required to follow the standard traffic pattern. Having said that, once you cancel IFR, you're now flying VFR and you need to follow the traffic pattern, so yes. I count 3 mistakes as did an earlier poster: Mistake 1: Cancelling IFR and continuing to fly a non-standard pattern. Mistake 2: Flying a right traffic pattern VFR to a left traffic runway. Mistake 3: Reporting a left downwind when in a right downwind. Fortunately the Cherokee pilot was on the ball and there was no meeting of the metals. However, I won't be too hard on David Heon, as I think any of us that have flown more than a couple of hundred hours have probably made similar mistakes at least once in our aviation careers. David's actions can be chalked up to errors in his immediate actions. The 172 pilot appeared to make multiple errors in judgment. The former are a lot harder to avoid and the latter have a much higher fatal accident rate. If it had been me, I probably would have made the same approach he did, but I would not have cancelled IFR, and on the CTAF, I would have called it out as a visual approach on the west side of the airport. I wasn't there and I'm not David, so I can't say what he was thinking, but I can imagine wondering if he was overtaking the Cherokee on downwind might have been a consideration. The Baron is a bit faster than your average Cherokee in the pattern (like 40 knots faster on downwind IIRC). One thing for sure... It's a lot easier to be sitting in the hangar criticizing someone else's flight than it is to execute a perfect flight of your own every time.

So after reading all the comments about his left (er, right) traffic pattern, something I noticed which might have helped - at 6:18 he has his Garmin Pilot app set to report Unrestricted ADS-B traffic instead of limiting the view to normal traffic near his present altitude. He was displaying airline traffic five miles above him instead of isolating the view to traffic that could conflict. Just a hint for those of us setting up our traffic view - use a relevant zoom level and set the altitude mode to Normal. Even flying low in a traffic pattern we can normally see air-to-air targets in our vicinity. Focus on what's important.

Same here. Only the third pilot made the correct call and said he was going to set up down wind for a left base. I assumed the guy who could not find traffic was on the other side setting up for a left base (but all he said was he's on a down wind, while this guy was on a right base but same as the first guy did not call if he was set up for a left or right base...just down wind. Then when he called he's turning left base (but really on a right base) threw the other guy off and prob confused him as well...then he cuts him off lol
