|
Narrative: Mooney N7183V Nov 2023 Attemted RNAV Approach with Ipad.
On November 19, 2023, about 2101 Eastern time, a Mooney M-20 took off for a 3-hour flight, but ran into problems attempting an instrument landing using only an IPad. While he landed successfully with extraordinary help and
patience of ATC, the ATC recording of the event is interesting.
Flight Follower: "This pilot can't fly IFR because his 'Ipad has died'..Lost in Instrument Approach"
