There is a cold front coming through Melbourne today.
But I don't know if you use one of these this is the planning chart Australia.
And when you get the weather Idon't know whether you can see that, but it just gives you the
four letter code and you've got to find it.
And there's like hundreds of, and it takes forever, I still cannot find it I've been
looking for this one point on here.
YNRC that's what I'm looking for.
It doesn't bloody exist.
Let's put it in, so should be over here somewhere.
Oh do you know what.
Yeah, yeah we should be fine.
Two things I'm really aware of right now at Moorabbin.
It's really windy, about 40 knots up there, 30 down here.
Number two, really need a haircut, have you seen this?
Jeez it's getting windy out there, there's a cold front coming through today, thunderstorms
and hail apparently that'll be fun.
If you're wondering why I'm doing this flight today the reason is there are now yeah 6 weeks
to go until my big trip to Longreach up in Queensland.
I announced the trip about a week ago in one of the last videos, if you haven't seen that
I can link to that here as well, but I'm doing a flight from Moorabbin up to Longreach, up
over three days down over another three.
There'll probably be quite a bit of IFR flying in that trip so today I just decided to take
the Cirrus back up so I can do the ILS and VOR approaches at Avalon.
The visibility is alright, we probably won't get into any cloud but there's a socking westerly
wind it's about 40 knots up high so should have quite an interesting crosswind today.
I'm not liking the look of some of that weather over there though, there is a little bit of
rain I don't know whether you can see kind of over behind me.
See that?
So this plane's just come back from Uluru Ayer's Rock in the middle of Australia it
came back yesterday.
I don't know whether you can see under here, have a look at all the red dust underneath
the aircraft, look.
Dust.
More dust.
So much dust.

Right 280 Tango Delta Sierra.
On first contact with Avalon tower or Avalon approach, notify receipt of Charlie.
VLOC vectors so now we can tune in our nav aid as well which we have already here which
is good so just to confirm the ILS is 109.5.
That's confirmed so we've got the morse for Avalon.
And then I can do some pre-approach checks as well whilst we're waiting so power is set
we're in the cruise at the moment, mixture full rich, fuel pump on for a runway approach,
QNH is set affirm, lowest holding so we'll brief ourselves on the approach, so our lowest
holding altitude if we're holding at TEMPL is 3000 feet.
Tango Delta Sierra continue heading 270 contact Avalon approach 133.55.

Sierra Alpha or your climb to 3000. Tango Delta Sierra thanks.
Another reason why I know how windy it is today, is because the windshield I use on
the microphone just blew off and cartwheeled all the way down the taxiway.
I've never run so fast in my life.
I'll show you, this is it look, it'll get windy. This thing.
