My First SayIntentions IFR Flight | KTRM - KSBA | IFR | DA42 | SayIntentions | VR | Brunner Yoke/Ped

My first SayIntentions IFR flight was a lot of fun! That said, I had a hard time with the landing as it was quite dark in VR, had a strong crosswind with 16 kt gusts, and I could hear the clanking of dishes which meant I was late for dinner. It was a bit of a mess, but on the whole, the experience was fantastic. I have a lot of work to do on my calls, but quite a bit of fun! This also was a great workout for my new Open Kneeboard and Open Tablet Driver setup where I’m writing on my wacom tablet into some new IFR templates I created for Arrival and Departure. I’ll provide a link to those below. (any shaking of the kneeboard is from my stabilization of the OBS recording... its smooth in my headset) It also featured one of Vincent Bazzillio’s fantastic free airport addons which I’ll also link below. Just a nice afternoon flight in my current stomping grounds with a near fatal night landing.
