RNAV 02 to MINIMUMS in Heavy IMC | 300ft Ceiling at Rock Hill ✈️ IFR in the Cirrus SR22T

This one demanded respect.

In this flight with The Flying Ortho, I fly my Cirrus SR22T (N518BP) into Rock Hill–York County Airport in heavy IMC, executing the RNAV Runway 02 approach all the way down to minimums with a 300-foot ceiling.

No shortcuts. No guesswork. Just disciplined IFR flying.

This video captures the reality of real-world instrument flying—solid clouds, constant scan, trusting your training, and making decisions when the margin for error is razor thin. From intercept to final, this approach is a reminder that IFR proficiency isn’t about ego—it’s about preparation, currency, and respect for the conditions.

What you’ll see in this flight:
Heavy IMC from start to finish
RNAV 02 approach flown to published minimums
Decision-making under pressure
Why disciplined IFR technique matters
Real-world general aviation flying—no filters

Breaking out just above minimums never gets old. It’s a powerful reminder of why we train, why we brief, and why we fly by the book—every single time.

If you’re a pilot, instrument student, or aviation enthusiast who appreciates honest IFR flying, this one’s for you.

✈️ Fly safe. Stay current. Respect the weather.
