Yes, its been awhile, but the AeroCast has been on its own ‘Summer Break’. But here we are, back with a huge episode dedicated to teaching the pilot the finer points of flying a Non-precision Instrument Approach. As most pilots know, flying can’t just be blue skies and sunshine. This video has been designed to make you more comfortable with the sequence of procedures that a pilot must follow to get their airplane from the enroute environment, down through the clouds, and to a safe touchdown square on the touchdown zone. For all of you UND Aerospace instrument students, this episode is a perfect primer that should be reviewed before the next meeting with your instructor and before your next IFR flight.

Thanks to Dr. Harro Heilmann all the way from Stuttgart, Germany for sending in some incredible pics of the Swiss Alps, two different German castles and the summit of the Matterhorn - that looks like an amazing place to fly!

Keep those photos coming everyone. Enjoy this episode and keep sending those comments and suggestions to undaerocast@aero.und.edu or bottini@aero.und.edu Have Fun and Fly Safe!
