I find that video and this thread just about the best l’ve ever seen.
I also like Jaunty17’s attitude towards forums!

Then you don’t get the irony 
Jaunty17 has commented this in the video:
I just want to address one point. A few people have indicated that they felt that I was taking undue risks by conducting this flight in this weather. They say this out of respectful concern, and I appreciate that concern. I need to make it clear however that, while I have not posted any videos of flights in this sort of conditions, I have conducted many flights in high pressure environments due to both weather and busy airspace. I was never during this flight in the least uncomfortable with my situation. I was completely in control at all times. I recognized what was going on from previous flights and had plentry of capacity to handle whatever might have come up. I would never conduct a flight where that was not the case. If you don’t yourself fly a lot of IFR in IMC, it may seem like I was “on the edge”, but that is not the case. I was, however, happy that I didn’t have any passengers, because I don’t think they would have found it very comfortable. I understand that. But for me, it was well within the envelope my experience enables me to handle. I do not encourage people to get themselves into situations they are not comfortable with, and I don’t do that either.

The ADL120 update rate is every 15 mins, as far as I can find. Is that good enough for tactical CB avoidance once you are inside a TS area?
No.
@Alioth, thank you for posting that video. A very well done one and every pilot should see it as a refresher regarding flights in the vicinity of thunderstorms. Time delayed weather mapping should like stormscopes only be used for clearly avoiding those phenomena and not trying to find a way through …

To my knowledge, Embraer is the first manufacturer of light jets who installs a second PTT switch somewhere in the glareshield so that the pilot doesn’t need to touch the yoke while the autopilot (or the second pilot) is flying. I wonder why it took 50 years until someone came up with that…
That is really astonishing. All our planes have a (second) PTT for the copilot / instructor in the panel. I hate it having to use a yoke-mounted ptt while my student / pilot needs the yoke for gusty winds. It’s a so obvious feature…
Also European radar coverage is limited. You would not get anything for the stuff here
So if that stuff was in IMC…..

Sounds like your average Facebook’er: posting stuff only to get compliments from his groupies followers and totally uninterested in any constructive critique. There may be a reason why he is always by himself; people are not stupid suicidal.
Instead he should join EuroGA and learn how to use a weather radar from the pros. Someone would care to organise a seminar on the topic?
I couldn’t agree more!
As always, there is the “forum crowd” and the “non-forum crowd”. And both are always insulting the other, wishing the other would drop dead. That’s GA. A little more tolerance would do good.
BTW, I guess that among private pilots, the “non-forum” crowd is about 90%. Probably so high because most people have a life outside aviation.
