Hello, friend Chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:00:27.518 --> 00:00:31.129
The title of this podcast is Flying Blind.
00:00:31.129 --> 00:00:34.810
It's Season 4, episode 42.
00:00:34.810 --> 00:00:58.564
I had received my pilot's license and certified as a pilot and was doing a check ride on my instrument rating, getting my instrument rating, and I left Hayes there with an instructor and we flew down to Garden City, kansas, and Garden City, kansas.
00:00:58.564 --> 00:01:03.774
I had my personal minimums when I could not see where I was going.
00:01:03.774 --> 00:01:05.144
I was flying in the clouds.
00:01:05.144 --> 00:01:12.477
I had my personal minimums at 500 feet and I think it was a thousand feet and three miles.
00:01:12.477 --> 00:01:14.182
This has been some years ago.
00:01:14.182 --> 00:01:23.887
And we got down to Garden City and of course, I had my instructor and I have a 300 foot ceiling and a one mile visibility.
00:01:23.887 --> 00:01:25.852
That's below my minimums.
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:42.694
Well, we got out, we talked to the approach and we talked to the tire and got our vectors and everything and everything's moving along pretty good and I just got stabilized on final approach and we can't see.
00:01:42.694 --> 00:01:45.867
I mean, looking out, the windows is pea soup.
00:01:45.867 --> 00:01:50.186
It looks just like a gray, grayed out area all the way around.
00:01:50.186 --> 00:01:51.250
You can't see anything.
00:01:51.250 --> 00:02:12.381
If you do see the ground by chance you break out of a cloud or something the last thing you want to do is look down at the ground or look outside the window and get your eyes off the instruments, because when you do you you'll find you got off course very fast and for coming in for a landing you sort of need to be in the center of the runway.
00:02:12.381 --> 00:02:19.240
I mean, it is everybody's a lot happier if you land on the on the pavement, if you get my drift.
00:02:19.240 --> 00:02:29.675
So anyway, we come on and I stabilize on final approach and I'm about maybe two miles out final approach, looking at my glide slope.
00:02:29.675 --> 00:02:44.038
This is back in the steam gauge day and I'm following the flight path and so I start fooling with the GPS and the instruments and flipping my charts over and the instructor says what are you doing?
00:02:44.038 --> 00:02:45.762
Instruments and flipping my charts over and the instructor says what are you doing?
00:02:45.762 --> 00:02:59.168
I said I'm preparing for a go-around because 300 foot ceiling and a 500 uh, 300 foot ceiling and a mile and a half two mile visibility is below my minimums.
00:02:59.168 --> 00:03:02.640
He said yes, but it's not below the airport's minimum.
00:03:02.640 --> 00:03:04.504
We're going to land this plane.
00:03:04.504 --> 00:03:06.768
Forget that.
00:03:06.768 --> 00:03:08.631
You got no wind, you got no problems.
00:03:08.631 --> 00:03:10.334
You're stabilized on the approach.
00:03:12.860 --> 00:03:14.241
Fly the airplane first and foremost.
00:03:14.241 --> 00:03:23.854
When you get distracted in life, you need to fly the Bible, get back in the Word and get back on course and get back on track.
00:03:23.854 --> 00:03:27.602
And when you mess up, repent and get back.
00:03:27.602 --> 00:03:29.183
That's what we do in the word, and get back on course and get back on track.
00:03:29.183 --> 00:03:30.006
And when you mess up, repent and get back.
00:03:30.006 --> 00:03:31.990
That's what we do in the airplane aviate, navigate, communicate.
00:03:31.990 --> 00:03:48.467
So the first thing I do is get that ils line back up and the next thing I do is I make sure my other instruments and heading landing on the right runway, I'm not landing on the wrong runway, landing going the wrong way or something.
00:03:49.320 --> 00:03:53.770
I took off one time in Hays and flew to Salina.
00:03:53.770 --> 00:03:56.725
When I took off in Hays, I took off from the north.
00:03:56.725 --> 00:04:04.568
So when I got ready to land in Salina, I was going to land from the north and I was on the wrong end of the runway.
00:04:04.568 --> 00:04:13.051
That was embarrassing and a controller jumped all over me, made me fly around the airport down there and come in the right way and use the right runway.
00:04:13.051 --> 00:04:19.403
Well, I mean, that's the only thing you really can do, and I made a point after that.
00:04:19.403 --> 00:04:24.509
Just because the wind changes, I've got to be aware of that and I should have been aware of that and I wasn't.
00:04:24.509 --> 00:04:26.028
I got relaxed, lackadaisical.
00:04:26.028 --> 00:04:27.560
I've got to be aware of that and I should have been aware of that and I wasn't.
00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:28.559
I got relaxed like a daisy, I guess.
00:04:28.559 --> 00:04:31.745
Anyway, so I'm on final.
00:04:32.641 --> 00:04:41.550
So then, at one mile final, I contact the tower, approach, hands me off to the tower.
00:04:41.550 --> 00:04:50.172
I contact the tower and tell them I'm stabilized on the ILS and inbound to land full stop.
00:04:50.172 --> 00:04:57.348
And he gives me the weather conditions, the barometer and everything going on.
00:04:57.348 --> 00:04:59.639
We come on down, come on down.
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.404
We're still seeing pea soup, pea soup.
00:05:01.404 --> 00:05:11.668
Well then I started seeing little open pockets of ground and I looked up and my instructor said get your eyes back on that panel.
00:05:11.668 --> 00:05:13.982
I'll let you know when you can look up.
00:05:13.982 --> 00:05:16.379
So we're right on down there.
00:05:16.379 --> 00:05:22.646
I got back on the panel and got stabilized again, wasn't off too much, and pretty soon.
00:05:22.646 --> 00:05:23.834
He says now you can look up.
00:05:23.834 --> 00:05:26.040
And I looked up and I'm looking right at the runway.
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:35.709
I mean like, cut the power and flare right now and landed the plane and he said see there, you could have taken that with zero visibility.
00:05:35.709 --> 00:05:39.319
Landed the plane and said see there, you could have taken that with zero visibility.
00:05:39.319 --> 00:05:39.961
I thought, yeah, sure, no way.
00:05:39.961 --> 00:05:48.478
Anyway, I landed and collected myself, closed out my flight plan and I got it established that time and uh.
00:05:48.718 --> 00:05:49.500
Next podcast.
00:05:49.500 --> 00:05:58.982
I'm going to tell you a little bit about what happens when it doesn't work that way and and you get interrupted and you get off your flight plan.
00:05:58.982 --> 00:06:01.182
You really get off your flight plan.
00:06:01.182 --> 00:06:10.362
Then you get disoriented and you have vertigo and all kinds of obstacles come in as you grow in your Christian walk.
00:06:10.362 --> 00:06:17.365
The devil is going to keep upping his attacks on you and they're going to get stronger and stronger and stronger.
00:06:17.365 --> 00:06:27.406
You have got to be able to hold it and withstand it and land the plane, no matter what the devil is trying to do to you or the weather is trying to do to you.
00:06:27.406 --> 00:06:30.764
You are in control and you'll land the plane.
00:06:30.764 --> 00:06:35.163
You have a blessed day In Jesus' name, amen.
00:06:35.163 --> 00:06:39.004
Sooner or later I'm going to leave you with one more thought.
00:06:39.004 --> 00:06:44.266
Sooner or later you're going to have to fly the airplane in your life.
00:06:44.266 --> 00:06:50.267
You're not going to be content to walk on the ground or not fly at all.
00:06:50.267 --> 00:06:59.629
A life with Jesus Christ in your heart will take you to new heights, new adventures, new everything.
00:06:59.629 --> 00:07:02.081
The old things are passed away.
00:07:02.081 --> 00:07:06.826
Behold, all things have become new and all things are of God.
00:07:06.826 --> 00:07:17.567
Start bringing Jesus along with you in everything you do and let him get you to higher altitudes of life that you've never seen before.
00:07:17.567 --> 00:07:23.112
You have a blessed day, as I said in Jesus' name, amen.
00:07:25.059 --> 00:07:26.925
I hope you're enjoying our podcast.
00:07:26.925 --> 00:07:41.545
We also write an article for the newspaper and I've been publishing articles and teaching tapes to India, pakistan, bangladesh, south Africa, slovakia and other parts of the world.
00:07:41.545 --> 00:07:44.963
The podcasts go out every Monday morning.
00:07:44.963 --> 00:08:00.487
I make little PowerPoint presentations for those people because they have to speak through an interpreter or I have to give them just a little bit of the word and then their pastor will interpret them and teach them and everything.
00:08:00.487 --> 00:08:28.329
You can't send money to buy Bibles for them because of so many scams and stuff going on, so the best way to do it is like with a PowerPoint presentation or a podcast to where the pastor can interpret, and I have done a few WhatsApp meetings where I teach a little bit and the pastor translates.
00:08:28.329 --> 00:08:44.307
The trouble with that is lining up everybody for the time, because when it's daytime here, it's nighttime there and there's a lot going on, and then in some countries I won't say which ones they have a lot of violence and stuff going on and they're persecuted.
00:08:44.307 --> 00:08:51.446
The pictures and stuff I get the faces are covered so you can't identify them because of persecution and things like that.
00:08:52.735 --> 00:08:54.181
We really could use your support.
00:08:54.181 --> 00:08:55.605
But I never ask for money.
00:08:55.605 --> 00:08:57.081
I'm not going to start now.
00:08:57.081 --> 00:09:04.522

We love you, we love these people we minister to.
00:09:15.527 --> 00:09:18.075

00:09:55.582 --> 00:10:02.086
I do a letter once a month, but there's a lot of times I'll miss a month if I don't have anything going on.
