It probably only lasted a few seconds, but I remember vividly seeing shoes and iPads and iPhones and cushions and blankets and cutlery and plates and cups flying through the air and crashing to the ceiling.

It has a mid-time engine (O-320-D3G rated at 160 hp), fairly recent annual inspection and 24 month pitot-ptatic/transponder test. Following a check of the weather, NOTAMS and TFR’s, you are confronted with some decisions to make. The weather is VMC but it’s hot, and the density altitude is really creeping up there.

Weather reporting at the destination isnt required so long as some reliable source says theres at least 1000-foot ceilings and three miles visibly. Dont be fooled because you still have a transponder code. So its worth a review of the corner-cases and gotchas hidden in the plain-sight (visual) approach.
