Cirrus SR22 - Real Emergency Over the Ocean Inside a TFR

UPDATE: it was a clogged injector on #6 cylinder.
————————
On this video I experienced my first true emergency. After leveling out at 7,000 feet about 25 miles East of Palm Beach over open ocean, the engine started running rough and would only run smoothly with the electric fuel pump.

After troubleshooting for a few moments I realized that the best course of action was to turn around and cancel the flight.

ATC handled this is a top emergency and declared it for me. It is amazing to see how fast ATC operated and coordinated everything. Special thanks to Boca Raton and Palm Beach ATC for their amazing response and professionalism!

I apologize for my audio recording failing after about 10 minutes - that's the downside of using an iPhone for cockpit audio recording.

For those that are ready to criticize, remember, you were NOT pilot in command, I was, and I brought everyone home safe and calm. I was inside an active TFR as well so any turns towards Palm Beach without proper coordination could be more dangerous and making a manageable situation a very bad incident.

Happy Skies!
