Hey Guys! I thought you would enjoy this picture. It’s not often you see a power plant from the air so close. Being vectored for final for an ILS approach, we got an awesome, close up view of the power plant. I actually got vectors through the steam once and I have to say it got really turbulent! I knew it would be rough, but I didn’t realize it would be as rough as it was.
Yes, I was on an IFR flight plan so I didn’t have to worry about staying VFR. If you are ever talking to approach and they happen to give you a heading to fly that will take you into steam or clouds, tell them you need to deviate one way or the other to maintain VFR! Don’t just assume that it’s ok because they are telling you to fly a heading. It is still your responsibility to maintain VFR if you don’t have an instrument rating.
