I don't care who you are, that there is funny. It speaks of your great character BP, Thank you and keep them coming....

That gut wrenching feeling you get when you hear those words from a controller is about as good as having a blood pressure check. If you survive that you're good to go for another year.

25 minutes of my life I’ll never get back

Your in big trouble-“Your mom called” Save everyone from wasting time thinking something to learn from video

22:20 ... you’ll thank me later

Love it. On a newly minted pilots license I was once flying my Dads 172 near Stockton CA. I was on Oakland center. The controller calls my N number and tells me to divert to Stockton because my Dad thinks the weather is to low for me to be flying. I get to Stockton and he jumps in and we fly to the destination (He was a career Air Force pilot with thousands of hours and of course IFR). Thanks Dad.

An incredible plane. Thanks for the "lift." I enjoyed every minute of it, and your moms' concern was icing on the cake.

I had my eyes glued to everything you did for the whole vid. On your landing I thought you might have passed your exit but ATC said "to the end" so I was just stumped. Mother called. FLOORED ME! After I calmed down I was like "Yea, I can see that happening to me to.". Good vid! Awesome.

I got some good tips today from a BPP Instructor today. He said best practice when lowering the gear is to keep your hand on the gear lever until you get three green. Also don't raise the flaps until clear of the runway. We have , on average 1 Beechcraft Bonanza/Baron land gear up per WEEK! (50/year). Subscribed. Juan.

Baron Pilot, I really appreciate you being a big enough man to share this with us. It's awful difficult to learn from the mistakes of others, big or small, if they keep it all to themselves. *edit: And I been hoodwinked. Ha ha ha!

Luckily I did read the comments, saves me some time. Anyway, great beginning. I just love to hear the engines 👍 Happy and safe flying!!!

Bravo! Made me laugh out loud! I've logged just over 2,500 hours (single-engine, instrument rated) since 1973, so while I'm certainly not the scourge of the civil aviation airways, I do know my way around a cockpit, and for the life of me I couldn't figure out what you did wrong -- until you got those dreaded four words AFTER "You're in big trouble!" Thanks for the chuckles....

did I really just watch 23 minutes of flying desperately trying to find a mistake? :D

that was great the way you 'tuned me up' to pay attention to everything thinking you really did do something wrong. Loved it!

22:38...dont waste people's time

Lol, I watched and listened carefully throughout the entire video and even skipped back several times when I couldn't understand what was said trying to look for the tiniest details and expected some dreadful mistake... ...only to discover you were in trouble with your mom! Great video. Thoroughly enjoyed watching 😀

And here I was concentrating on everything you were doing to see if I could catch the mistake. Did not see that one coming though and that is a biggy! Love it!

Your panel idea sounds good. Whatever you are comfortable with. Fly safe

That was great! 🤣 Not what I was expecting at all! I was watching your every move, trying to see if I had learned enough from you guys on KZfaq that I'd be able to pick out your mistake. I looked and looked, and found nothing. No wonder! 😀 Well done, Baron! 👍 Thanks for the explanation of the fuel usage gauge there. I understood the GPH readings, but never knew what the top number was. I do now! Thanks!! Enjoy every moment with your mom. I just lost mine this past March to cancer. It was very sudden, but we all knew it was coming. I was glad to have spent time with her prior to the worst of it. I sincerely hope nobody has to go through this. Your video of your mom brought a smile to my face, so thank you for that.

Fantastic! This has made me smile all day. I did some hours up in Orgeon. Beautiful scenery and lovely friendly folk.

"You're in big trouble, your mom just called." "Yeah, Tower, change of plans. Requesting departure, just get me out of here"

Love watching your videos, all the way from down under. You're an excellent pilot always thinking ahead of the aircraft, taking care of the engines, thinking logically about your situation and using the winds to your advantage 👍. I was thinking would it be worth your while to upgrade to the G1000? Still keep the Ipad mini for writing atis readbacks and other tasks. It's just to me the cockpit seems a little cluttered but that's just me, minimalist by nature. I think it's great your mum cares and worried enough about you to call the tower to see where you were. Buy her a big bunch of flowers and give her a kiss. Mum's are the best! 😀

Heck, that joke was almost longer than the " Ah, so it was written?" joke in Lawrence of Arabia! I knew it was going to be anything but your flying that was the problem. Great vid. Cheers.

LOL, OK you got me. Here I was paying close attention to everything you were doing and still had no idea. Well played.

You really had me thinking you did something wrong!😅 I am not a pilot, but I love watching aviation videos and listening to ATC recordings. I was listening closely, and had no idea what you did wrong! I took an introductory flying lesson recently, and am seriously considering further training.

OMG, you totally got me there, all along I'm looking for a mistake, there isn't any, but in all honesty, not calling mom will cost you my friend... Great video...

Awesome way to get us to really pay attention till the very end!! :-D Was a great flight...thank you!

You got me. That was great man!

I was think to myself "I havent seen anything he has done wrong" Then the end of the the video came up

I enjoy the flight. those engines just purr

This made me laugh so hard, I'm only halfway in for my license, and if my mother was here today, she would be exactly like yours, great video loved it awesome descriptions and walkthrough of your take off and landing

Great idea, relocating a smaller sized I pad to the centre of your yoke ; this will free the centre space of your consul in case of an emergency. As a former pilot, I always held the view that the less clutter in the cockpit, the better. Thank you for posting such informative videos. Stay safe.

LOL! You had me going! Glad to hear it wasn't the FAA you were in trouble with!

Not a pilot and actually found that entertaining..... thanks!

Hahaha!! that was perfect timing - I just watched it right after Moms day 2019 - lol and talk about concentrating on your flight!!! lol - Great way to keep us studying :-)

Oh man I honestly thought you were in really big trouble! Haha! It’s was a joy watching you taking us along with you.

Hey great video Baron and funny too. Especially when the tower says" at least you have someone who cares" and you say (mumbled not real happy ) "yeah". So I am brand new to the channel LOVE aviation and its great to see you set your flight up. I'm getting ready to fly gliders so its completely different, much simpler for me. Have you done a video that does a walk around or tour of your plane? Thanks again man, very nice job!!

Thanks for letting us hear the engines, they sound awesome!

Got me too! I was critiquing everything. Good one and safe flights.

I've never paid more attention to every radio transmission than this video--your mother called! hilarious. Well played sir.

Hahaha, I was glued to the screen looking for what you did, that was funny! 😂 I enjoyed the video, great work 👍

You done messed up A-Aron!

Ha ha, you forgot to tell your mama where you were going. No later than 11pm now! Great video, didn't see that one coming, I was looking to see what you did wrong! lol

Haha it’s nice that you have such nice banter between the tower at the end

This may be the one video on the internet that is actually better than its click bait title. Although, the controller missed an excellent trolling opportunity -- 75W I have a number for you to call, advise ready to copy....

Lol, did she ground you?

You passed over my town, right below Lake Borne. Glad you had a stopover in Nawlins. This was the greatest. You had me guessing...thanks for a great vid.

I'm no pilot, just an enthusiast, and I got a good laugh from this video! And I'll add, your Baron is a Great Plane for those of us in the peanut gallery to see flight operations carried out in!

LOL !!! Marvelous! Especially now that we have met your co-pilot Mom. Love it. I've had that call. Twice. Once by the tower as you have now experienced and once by CP-140 Aurora (equivalent to a P-3 Orion) that was calling on Guard north of the Queen Charlotte Islands - both initiated by my over anxious Mom when I was a low time pilot. with less than 1,500 hours. The first one was when I was flying a charter up the Strait of Georgia off the coast of British Columbia when the weather deteriorated quickly requiring me to divert to the closest airport and didn't call from the ground right away as heavy rain soon pounded the area. When I made the call to get my clearance to depart, ground was on the horn with an urgent message. Ooops. The second time was a little more real for Mom, when I was flying my first ferry flight in a Cessna T303 ; Japan - Alaska - B.C. and was (according to Mom) overdue on my last big leg between Juneau, Alaska and Port Hardy, B.C. After always calling her that I had landed as I completed each big leg, I had told her I should be arriving in Port Hardy at around 19:00 local time, but she swears I said 9:00 - as in AM. The Canadian Forces (now RCAF) had a routine CP-140 Aurora patrol bouncing around the air anyway and was on the look out - since 11 AM, looking for a Cessna Crusader that hadn't even taken off yet. When my flight plan became activated - the Aurora was called off as it became clear that Mom had it wrong and the Search and Rescue Center in Victoria rang her up to tell her I was just departing Alaskan airspace. Well that didn't stop another CF's Patrol aircraft from getting on Guard to let me know, I was in REALLY BIG trouble with my Mom as I entered Canadian airspace north of the Queen Charlotte's. I didn't sleep much upon arrival and making that telephone call home :-) Have a nice flight!

I noticed that the re-route that they gave you to go to ROMMY changed your flight path... ROMMY TO CTY takes you through restricted area R-2908. Did you get vectors around that did you deviate? Thanks for the vids.

Great departure, great flight, perfect landing , lousy son. Thank you for sharing this. Precious

Damn I watched the whole video lol Great flight as well sir 🙏🏻💪🏻 God bless

LOL - It is an a priori, universal truth: Moms Rule !!

"... your mom called!" I love it! Three words that will forever haunt us from our youth!

That’s awesome love the KPGD tower lady, she’s always sweet when I fly in there.

I miss my mom. I was her caregiver for more than 8 years, and she was always calling my phone, and I would answer. Sometimes (after almost 10 years) I will hear her voice call my name.

Haha...watching this on Mother's Day 2019. The irony 🤣

Yea man you had me scared!!! My stomach dropped

Awesome video. I was concentrating so hard. By the end I was thinking... What did I miss? Haha. Got me!!

Mate, its 11:46pm here in Sydney Australia and ive just stumbled upon your vids. I never thought i'd find something like this so interesting to watch so cheers!

OK dude, i watched the whole video paying attetion to your flight and was your mom? really? jajajaja

I'm not in aviation at all, but I think I should make an important call right now.

That’s beautiful! God bless your mom.

Awesome and very funny! Brought a tear to my eyes as my mom recently transitioned but true....always keep in contact with mom. Lol Love it!

I hope timeout for bad Baron Pilot does not delay the next video. ;-)

25 min to set up a mom joke?

I'm not a pilot but enjoy watching these kind of videos. So I'm watching, listening, rewinding, googling things and came up with this info..... "I'm not a pilot" and have no idea what you did wrong. Good 1

Superb videos, thank you for just flying and doing it well. The Mom lesson was hilarious... appreciate your hard work. Andrew

Too close to home for me to laugh very hard. Had to play the ending for my wife though. She gets so mad if I don’t call or text before I depart, I have explained to her that I don’t feel comfortable breaking my train of thought after I start my pre-flight walk around. That she knows my expected departure time and if you don’t hear from me I departed on time. I always text upon arrival first thing after engine shutdown. Doesn’t matter though I always get the angry emoji as a reply. I might have messed up though as now she knows she can call the tower and have ATC put me on notice upon arrival. Not very smart am I. Lol

Glad it was not anything to get you in trouble. MOM, I am coming home!

My wife did the same thing to me just a week ago. Safe flying!

Whew... all that tension, thinking it was the FAA... had to wait to the end of the video :D

Clickbait or not, - it put a smile on my face. And what a great view from that twin engined plane!

Turn on CC and read the D-ATIS before MSY departure. Laughter guaranteed!

I was trying to analyze your "mistake" and I didn't find anything hahaha. Great flying!!

Cool sure brings back a lot of memories from when I was a kid spending time with my Dad in a small plane 😊 take care! Peace ✌️ from Welland Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

Okay, a couple of things. First, I'll give you the controller story. When I was learning to fly, my mother also was taking lessons. This was back in the mid to later 70's, and no one ever wore a headset, unless you were flying for the regionals or the majors. So, as you might guess, some people were a little bit loud into the microphone because they had problems hearing themselves. Next, I was flying out of Groton, CT., and at the time, you could actually go up and sit and talk with the tower controllers. So, I had my lesson, and my mom was next. Dad was the CFI. So, I head on up to the tower to hang out with they do her lesson, she preflights, starts up and calls for taxi. Now, she's still newish, so her radio phraseology isn't that great yet. She's loud. The guy working ground is this huge black man, looked like he could have played defensive back for any of the NFL teams. She's screaming over the radio and he's being calm as can be, 'the controller voice' that Brian Shul talks about. So, this gentleman in a trainee in the tower, there's a senior controller there, and me. Middle of the afternoon, it's quiet, so the controller is handling ground and tower. Mom taxies down to the end of the runway, does her runup, calls the tower, says she's ready for takeoff, is granted permission, and as she's climbing out 23, which goes directly over Long Island Sound, she calls back because she's forgotten to tell the tower which way she wants to go. Of course, she's still loud. At this point, this controller mutters 'Screaming Bitch.' I said 'Yup, I know exactly what you mean.' He turned to me. I'm 18 at this point, almost 19, and looks at me like 'who the hell are you, punk kid?' I said 'That's my mother. I totally agree, she can be a screaming bitch.' Guy turned whiter than Casper the Ghost! He was stammering out apologies and stuff, and it's like 'No, no, you're absolutely right. She can be that way sometimes, and I was just laughing. The other controller just looked over at the first one with the semi-grin on his face, kinda like a 'gotcha!' Our club tried to be really cool with the controllers, and it was nice that you could go up in the cab back then and watch them do their job. Gave you an idea of what they had to put up with from the other side of the coin. Okay, the second thing. I posted this to Facebook, but I don't know how often you check that. What are you looking for in a glass panel? Are you looking for PFD and MFD, with everything, or would you just take a glass ADI and HSI, and use your Mini for terrain, mapping, etc, basically like you do now? The reason I ask is I saw 310 Pilot is using a G5 in his 310, and is going to be adding the second G5 for HSI/Nav after Air Venture. The B55 is on the AML for the G5, and with the GDL29b, you should be able to connect the G5s to both your autopilot and your IFDs, both 550 and 440. Probably looking at about $6K plus install, and really, with the iPad and Foreflight, you should have an inexpensive PFD/MFD set up. Finally, you're running the IO-470s, right? Jerry Wagner is running the IO- 520s in his 414, and he's getting the same fuel burn and about the same airspeed as you are. Maybe time to look into a 340A? :p :D

The moral of the story, keep your mother informed at all times! I like the idea of eliminating the large I Pad and mounting the mini on the yoke. I think it would be easier than looking right and free up needed room in the cockpit. Love your videos and always learn something new about flying!

What a great ser up, inside the cabin. It’s great how well all the electronics link up. Enjoyed the vid.

This is so great!! I feel your pain, I'm 52 and my parents still call after me. Thank goodness for life 360, LOL!!!

That's nothin......I was on the USS Coral Sea on Yankee Station in 1968, during the Vietnam War and got a message to report to the Captain's Office.....No sailor ever gets ordered to the Captain's Office for good news.....When I walked into the outer offer, a JG handed me a letter from my mother to the Captain that she had not heard from me....he said...."Write your mother."

Sucked me right in on this.. looking for error the whole trip...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

That snip would have had my heart trip-hammering, going back over my checks and route, looking for issues, especially around military antics. At least it was not Kennedy Steve chewing you out.

Oh man had me going too! I enjoy your content and flying!

Trying to learn. Paid attention to what you did for the whole video. Didn't expect to get trolled. Won't be subscribing.

Officially...my favorite KZfaqr

That was a great vid, and remember....staying in touch with mom is just as important as stauing in touch with the tower.....nice flight!

Followed it all the way through, wondering what I missed and why! You got me :) I underestimated the power of mum

Never underestimate the power of the - - , - - - , - - , lol. Cheers great video Dion Markgraf AKA: Dionsol Flight Simulation (X-Plane 11 pilot) & Aviation Enthusiast

Hi Captain Baron, I’m your Biggest fan. Keep More Cumin how is Lucy and her daughter. 💯

Awesome job! I kept watching for a misstep and you got me. Thumbs up and new sub👍👍

I watched the whole video and when I heard that massive mistake it was well worth it lol. Enjoyed watching you fly!

Drinking Starbucks is one mistake. Coffee on your dash is another.

Click bait 🥴

This randomly popped in my feed a year after upload. I was on the edge of my seat at the end and all I did was get trolled....love this video

Haha....you got me. Really enjoyed the video. Sure looked like a beautiful day for flying. Great Job 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Ha! That was funny! Good thing my parents know how to use flightaware.com or the same might happen to me :-)

Glad I just jumped to the end and didn't waste 23 minutes of my life with no lesson of value at the end.

Super cute, loved this video, you got me a good one! Really nice operation too BP, but then what do I know - I'm only a 15k hour heavy jet instructor who hasn't sat in a Baron for over 25 years.

Awesome as always Baron Pilot, Kris. Doug from Canada, started to follow you about a month ago. Your living my dream. Cheers
