IFR to Cape May: My Full Flight, My Story & What's Next | Piper Cherokee 180

Join me in the cockpit for a real IFR cross-country — full walkthrough from New Garden (N57) to Cape May County Airport (KWWD) in my Piper Cherokee 180. I take you through the whole process: picking up the clearance, managing the Garmin avionics, and working the route in real time. Along the way, I open up about my journey from student pilot to commercial pilot and CFI/CFII, share what might be next for me, and give my honest first take on the renting-vs-owning debate from an actual owner's perspective. ✈️ Subscribe to Heading180 for real ownership, real flying, real costs.
