First we move the plane out to the runway from the hangar.
2/10 Fri Oct 7 14:39:06 2005 after 0d 00:07:27 Lat:35.591057 Lon:-79.098579 Elevation:233.2 ft
Now we stopped near the runway to do a engine run-up, check the magnetos, etc. Then I called Air Traffice Control (ATC) to get an Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) clearance since the skies were overcast with low-hanging clouds.
3/10 Fri Oct 7 14:48:14 2005 after 0d 00:16:35 Lat:35.591034 Lon:-79.098404 Elevation:227.5 ft
We have our clearance, so we move onto the runway and takeoff. We were cleared first to 4000 feet, and then our assigned altitude of 7000 feet.
4/10 Fri Oct 7 14:59:50 2005 after 0d 00:28:11 Lat:35.651497 Lon:-78.803909 Elevation:7362.7 ft
Here we leveled off, so you can see our speed increased.
5/10 Fri Oct 7 15:09:23 2005 after 0d 00:37:44 Lat:35.943462 Lon:-78.459824 Elevation:7274.7 ft
We had a bit of a tailwind. Our normal cruising speed is about 140 knots.
6/10 Fri Oct 7 16:02:53 2005 after 0d 01:31:14 Lat:37.992729 Lon:-76.815811 Elevation:7242.8 ft
At this point I called ATC to get routed for an IFR approach, we made a course change and began descending.
7/10 Fri Oct 7 16:08:28 2005 after 0d 01:36:49 Lat:38.262791 Lon:-76.801239 Elevation:4035.7 ft
Here I started slowing down to make the sharp turn to line up with the runway.
8/10 Fri Oct 7 16:11:48 2005 after 0d 01:40:09 Lat:38.357876 Lon:-76.723152 Elevation:1790.7 ft
We had to level off briefly according to this approach to maintain a set altitude. Since we were still in the clouds at this point, we don't want to hit anything.
9/10 Fri Oct 7 16:18:13 2005 after 0d 01:46:34 Lat:38.315102 Lon:-76.548576 Elevation:142 ft
Here is when we land and begin slowing down to taxi for the parking area.

Finally, we stop just in front of our parking spot (the plane doesn't back up). I turn off the GPS at this point.
