“Many people post on Instagram with an inspirational quote they don’t live by”- Aviation 101 Best quote of 2019

I'm not a pilot, but it's fascinating to see the temperature drop through the carburetor venturi on the monitor. One can easily see how carb icing can happen sans heat when the dew point is near freezing. It's a little known fact, but snowblower engines are also prone to carb icing given the way that snowblowers operate near freezing and in humid conditions under high power settings. Many snowblower owners don't give it a thought as to why the small engines on their machines have that metal box around the carb. It's not to make the carb harder to get to, but rather to pull some of the intake air over the hot muffler on the way in to keep the carb throat from icing. Unlike a plane, a snowblower's carb heat is fixed and non-adjustible. I realize that snowblowers probably aren't a big item around the Austin area, but I thought I'd share anyhow.

Josh in Texas: 70 degrees is definitely shorts weather Me in Chicago: 50 degrees is definitely shorts weather

“Sometimes it’s the people no one imagines anything of, who do things no one can imagine.” Alan Turing, who cracked the Enigma codes with his ‘computer’. Josh, that’s what you are all about. You’ve come a long way and you are gifted with talents many people struggle all their lives to achieve. You will do great things in life. My high school Civics teacher told me I’d never amount to much, never graduate from college ( I was not inspired by Civics & a little lazy of a student in that area). I met him on the street by accident after I graduated from college, had been accepted into dental school, and have had a great career...and now I’m a pilot and AGI & IGI, finishing my IR & CR, maybe CFI (well at least I passed all the writtens). Near retirement and having loads of fun. Keep the spirit alive! I might even start a You Tube channel call Air Alakazam this year; just have to learn how. 😎🛫

Your touchdowns are so smooth! Thank you making such an informative channel.

Nice! Congrats on the upgrades! (It's always amazing what a little electronic upgrade can do for any vehicle.)

Very smooth and very thorough. As a relatively new pilot i very much enjoyed watching your flight as you shared your processes of running through checklists etc. Thanks for sharing

It's like an old friend have returned refreshed from vacation! It's good to see the most famous Cessna out there back in the air! And boy that panel looks absolutely nice! I can't wait for some upcoming flying action with N80991! Thanks for always taking us along with you on your trips. I've been following your channel since the first N80991 video, where you did some airwork and it's my absolute favorite channel! Keep doing such an amazing work and I wish you all the best! Everytime i get the notification of a new video from "aviation101", it put's a big smile on my face! Kind regards from Germany Josh, and we'll see you on the next one ;)

991 went from sitting at an airport baking in the sun now it has a nice paint job, and all these new things on the panel. You saved this plane Josh and have kept it up well. Great Videos

Since y'all bought it, that plane has gotten more love than it ever dreamed of. :)

I fly a Bonanza P35 V-tail but I really enjoy your channel. Interesting and informative every time. Also use your preprinted clearance forms for the past two years. Your enthusiasm and knowledge of aviation is impressive.

Awesome upgrades man! 991 is starting to look a lot more like 37H ;) Great vid!

Love your video! The edit was top notch and exactly what we wanted to watch and hear. You have a new sub! Love from Merimbula , Australia ✈!

Congratulations on the new panel! We are so proud and happy with your accomplishments, thank you so much for letting us ride along. I really like the way you say exactly what your doing as you do it. Another page is turned in aviation technology, in with the new out with the old. 991 is such a doll. I still want to see her with some white wheel pants with matching blue stripes. Just put some on her, take some pictures. Then you can take them off. Sorry I love Cessna Skyhawks "with wheel pants" and Cessna Seaplanes, I grew up with them. I use to take my wife and friends up to look at Christmas lights. Much fun was had by all.

Another excellent video Josh. Nice explanation of the Avionics upgrades and your future game plan for continued upgrades. Well done as always and most appreciated.

Fantastic video! Love the upgrade! Thanks for sharing! I will hope for the IMC/IFR videos! Keep up the good work!

4:16 There’s something about the sound of a cessna 172, 152, Eurostar or any propeller driven airplane of that size (ultralights and 4 seaters you know) when engine running 👌 It’s not just a beatiful sound but it gives me a feeling of freedom and I just picture myself on the airfield

Nice video, like the way you verbalizing all the procedures, like a good instructor!

I generally learn something new from every video I watch of yours. Now I’m going to say “Gig ‘em Aggies! 👍” every time I fly over the state of Texas! 😄

Thanks for showing off your new MVP-50 Josh! As you, I had to prioritize my upgrades in phases. My phase1 was dual G5's, ADS-B in/out, WAAS and an engine monitor (Insight Twin G4). I'm flying down to Tx today to pick her up from Phase 2: STEC 3100 autopilot upgrade. I'm thinking Phase 3 will be upgrading my 20 year old GPS's (going to decide on that at Sun n Fun coming up) and my Phase 4 will probably be something to replace all my old engine instruments. I will add EI to the list. Thanks again! :)

“Many people post on Instagram with an inspirational quote they don’t live by”- Aviation 101 That killed me Lamo ;):):):):):)

9:41 ooooh a diverging diamond interchange!

I like the new look! Seems easier to see with the glass cockpit than the old, Hope to see auto pilot soon!

I like when listening to ATIS the way you edited other planes keeps my from skipping around...love all the new and improved 'toys'

Great video! Love the new panel and your explanations are fantastic!

Austin is a bit of a magical town, when I attended UT in the mid-60's, we too through their were just to many folks living in Austin and those were the days! Today I live in Houston which is always short of people!

Impressive new panel on N80991 ! The aerial the tour of Austin is always neat. My wife and I always enjoy going to The Oasis on Lake Travis each time we fly into town.

Loving the New Look to the panels and thanks for the tour around the city. Not shorts weather yet here in the UK 🇬🇧 I’m about 1 hour from Manchester Airport (EGCC) outside Huddersfield ✈️

I really enjoy your videos...... The new panel is really cool....I’m glad it’s yours. I’m still working on (mastering) stone knives & bear skins in Aviation instrumentation & avionics... Keep up the great work!

I tell ya, your production quality goes up every video. Nicely done.

Thank you very much for this video of very high quality always present I wish a very happy new year to aviation 101

I have never seen a landing so perfectly executed in a cessna. You are one with that aircraft my friend!

Cool vid Josh! Wow, talk bout “greasein the runway” with that landing............ text book landing, Grrrreat job!!!! Thx as always for bringing us along. Scott

Awesome video. Thank you for that instrument panel tour.

Best part about the engine monitor is the individual cylinder EGT and CHT - so important for early detection of a problem! Would never fly an airplane without it.

Neat stuff! Looking forward to more upgrades, Josh!

The avionics look great! Congrats on the upgrade!

Love to see someone so passionate about something! very great video.

You're a very good instructor & pilot. Have a great week!

I live in the UK and have been thinking about doing my easa ppl for a while now but never committed but after watching you fly and especially your coast to coast I've book my first lesson and starting reading air law so thank you for the motivation.

Beautiful landing !!!! The cristal engine monitor is amazing. Keep going, i will be wating for the next video. Greets for México.

Once again you have filled my head with knowledge and facts, against my will. 0991 is definitely getting the royal treatment. When I flew 172s in the early 70s, we almost had to pedal it. Great video, thanks Josh.

The enthusiasm of the young is addictive. Your future is bright indeed! My first airplane was a Skyhawk. It came from Texas where I think they sold tons of them back in the day...

I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for your detailed explanations and your teaching skills. Scott. KLZU.

I just bought a C182E. My first upgrade is a G5. Then an engine monitor, followed by a new autopilot. Thanks for sharing - it gives me a better idea of what to look forward to.

Josh, thanks for the views of Mansfield dam, and Lake Travis. I do miss living up in the Hill Country. Next time you make it to So. Calif we will have show you the town.

Looking forward to more IFR videos. I've watched the '400 ft ceiling' video several times. Just got an IPC after not flying instruments since I got my rating instrument rating in 2002. Videos like that are very helpful.

You’re a good pilot. I appreciate your dedication to use of checklists even if the activity is very routine/mundane. Some pilots aren’t as dedicated to their checklists.

Good video. I like the small ramps you made to roll the mains into the hangar. Gotta make myself a pair. Ciao, Marco.

Great video! Miss the old days of just flying around!

Nice job as always Josh. Thanks.

Decided to go for student pilot. I happen to live in Lake Oswego, Oregon where Lightspeed Corporate is located. I looked at Bose ANR but decided to go Lightspeed. I will swing by Lightspeed to grab those and will make sure they know Aviation 101 moved me to their product. Thanks Josh.

That's a really nice monitor. We just put in a JPI 730, but it doesn't replace primary instruments. I could definitely stand to fly with something like the one you installed.

I'm over at Hamilton Pool, just down hwy 12 from ya Enjoy your vids! I was a Cessna trainee back in HS. Lot of my friends fly out of Spicewood and Lakeway.

Nice lookin' new setup, accurate indicators too!

WOW, what a nice landing. Good video.

I love the new set up of the panel with the Garmin G-5. You have arrived in the 21st Century.! Only glass on the panel is a good thing. I feel they are more accurate and easier to read while flying. I liked the view and tour of Austin you provided. Good luck as always in your future endeavors!

great. loved it. i especially like the talk about going glass. good job.

Thank you!! I really enjoy your vids!

You're the man. Keep up the great work.

Love your vids they inspire me

Love the MVP. We've got them in a few of our 172s at school

Finally! I’ve been waiting for so long to watch videos with 80991 in them!

the "360 bridge" is the Pennybacker Bridge, and Mount Bonnell is a few more miles south on the river. The cliffs next to the Pennybacker are I assume called the 360 cliffs, one of my favorite spots in Austin!

Good Afternoon! I’m a big fan! When I was a teenager, I worked my summers at a FBO in North Carolina. I always considered the possibility of taking flight ‘out of reach.’ This past year I stubbled onto your videos on KZfaq, and now have made it a mission to get in the air! Welp, I flew my first flight today at Blue Ridge Aviation. Thank you!!

Josh in Texas 70 degrees shorts weather, Chicago 50 degrees shorts weather, me in Los Angeles, always shorts weather. Thank you for you video Josh. Appreciate your tour of the area. Never got to Texas. Fly safe.

I don't know how I feel about the glass. I love analog because at a quick glance I can recognize the instruments. I guess I'll have to get a few hours to decide. Glade you like it!👍

This is an awesome video! Having “grown up” on steam gauges and only recently transitioned to a glass panel, I can say I’m team technology all the way. Great video!

Best video yet!! Love it.

Awesome kit - I'm sold!

Next year it will have a jet engine

I enjoy all of your instruction info. Can you show how you set up your 4 flight knee pad to fly to a destination, and link to the plane panel instruments. Thanks, Jim

Back when I started flying in the early 80's you walked around with you nose stuck up in the air when you had RNAV and DME. Unfortunately I quit flying a long time ago and can't imagine how much fun it is to always know your ground speed, exactly where you are and where the wind is coming from.

Big fan of the TruTrak Vizion AP. I installed one in my N model. Money well spent!

Lmao. Cynical. I love it. Selfies on Instagram with some inspiring quote they don’t live by. So true!!!!

Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

Josh , congratulations on the upgrades.

Solid video...nice upgrades.

You have one fantastic aircraft! =) It's oh so nice to go digital if you ask me, everything gets so much easier! =D Good video as always, hope to see more of them soon! Stay safe up there!

That's cool airplanes r cool congrats on ur new upgrades u deserve it bro

Always love your content

Amazing video, very detailed! Loved the joke about the Selfie with a deep quote! :-p

Just discovered your channel! Yoir enthusiasm and knowledge is great. Bye bye steam gauges, glass glass glasssss!! Subbed

Got to take the Cherokee up today 🙂 so glad spring is back!!

Nice pictures....although I used to fly in the mountains, which seems to be exciting for almost every passenger I had, for me its also exciting to see such flat panorama and big cities. Looks like a perfect example of....you cant always get what you want :-)

One of my favorite aviation channels.

I love how you're like, "This is crazy how I used to rely on these steam gauges for oil pressure,"... I still rely on them. :D dont frighten me

I've visited Austin a few times. Love it! Good Ole' Texan BBQ!

As usual, great video. Thanks Colin (UK)

9:39 A divirging diamond overpass!

Didn’t know if anyone has said this yet, but that cliff next to the 360 bridge is not mount Bonnel. Mount Bonnel is another overlook a little farther down lake Austin!

Thanks for sharing . Great video

We added an electronic ignition and power flow exhaust and that has really helped with a little speed and better fuel economy. We also added the G5's and Garmin 500 auto pilot. Well worth the investment. We have a EDM-900 and we've been able to monitor engine performance much better and note any issues.

Im an instructor and we upgraded all of our fleet with the mvp. 50. Its pretty great, especially for leaning. Ive never had a problem with them until about three days ago where every gage failed and read "COMM" in all red. Another flaw is that you can't find out what causes the red warning light in flight, you need a usb with a computer. One time in flight the red light flashed for a few seconds and couldn't find out what was causing it because everything was in the green. Other than that its awesome.

Looks like information overload!

I wish I could say those 9r's as fast as you do. Great video..like usual.

Awesome new equipment!

Yay! New AV101!

To demonstrate "shock cooling", fill a cheap glass beer mug with boiling hot water. let it stabilize for about 30 second. Pour out the hot water, then fill it with ice cold water. Do this over a sink, and watch the glass crack or shatter. Your engine is "cast" metal, meaning it has the very similar characteristics as glass. Shock cooling is very real, and this little experiment where you sacrifice a cheap mug should convince anyone of that.

Congrats Josh 991 is looking mighty fine.
