Haha you were a natural! Thanks for taking me up!

You did FANTASTIC! Extremely articulate and obviously a subject matter expert. You need your own KZfaq channel, it would be insanely popular. I wish I had you as an instructor when I learned to fly, I struggled with approaches at first like you wouldn’t believe and my initial instructor was an arrogant ass about it but it finally clicked when I found a new one. Anybody can instruct, not everyone can teach.

@@irflyer Thank you. I'm not sure what I would do with a channel, but I appreciate your vote of confidence.

@@deannawallace3687 you could do a aviation101 formally Mravation style channel. Did i mention i want this plane

You have a real quiet confidence that's perfect for instructing. This was fun to watch. Keep up the awesome flying!

Thank you (insert curtsy here) :) The devil is in the details and centerlines matter too, haha.

@@deannawallace3687 In your opinion, for a standard 250hr Cessna 172 pilot who is of good skill and ability, how many hours of transition training would be needed to fly the C182 safely?

I think a proficient (not just current, but proficient) 250 hour, C172 pilot would not have any trouble at all transitioning to the C182. I'd say less than 5 hours to be completely comfortable with both the high performance endorsement requirement (if not already received) and the added propeller control, and perhaps another 5 hours if it happens to be a transition to a G1000 or other TAA panel. Of course, insurance companies have the last say on time requirements, but I think the pilot you describe would not have an issue with the transition at all. The aircraft is slightly more complex and slightly heavier on the nose, but otherwise acts and feels very similar to a C172.

@Mark Thibault. This is 5 months after your initial question but I’ll answer it anyway. I had a total of 100hrs as a pilot, all in a 172, when I transitioned to the 182. It took me 10hrs to transition to a 182. Now it just had the basic steam gauges, no fancy G1000 back then.

If this A.C. has retrractble gear why did she not put gear up when flying??

Because the aircraft in the video is not an RG.

I credit religious use of sunscreen in the cockpit, haha. Thank you for the compliments :)

@@deannawallace3687 I bet you get carded all the time. I wish I had that problem. lol You look like you could be my daughter but you're probably just a bit younger than I am. The sunscreen works!

Thank you. I love the variety of aircraft and people my job brings :)

Thank you. It's interesting, I'm always being asked if I want to be a "real" commercial pilot, haha, like anything smaller than a Boeing 737 doesn't count. So many great flying career paths to choose from and so little time... Hope your kids are enjoying their time at SFA!

Haha it was pretty smooth!

@@FlyingDoodles indeed.👍🇺🇸

You are missing out on the best burger in east Texas from the airport cafe if you haven't been lately :) Stop by sometime soon!

@@deannawallace3687 Thank you for the invitation! Yes,I've not eaten at their cafe since the nineties.

King Air or riot

Beautiful area! I lived and instructed out of Charleston for 5 years. Good luck finishing your instrument rating...one of the most rewarding tickets out there :)

Hi Patrick. I appreciate the kind words and wanted to say all is well, despite covid. Most of my flight instruction is given in single-engine turboprops these days (still a healthy market) and my corporate King Air clients are still doing very well, thankfully. I have flown almost as much this year as I did last year (almost 900 hours in the past 12 months), with only a slight lull in March/April as everyone was figuring this thing out.

@@deannawallace3687 Oh hey Deanna! I'm glad you're going well and punching out plenty of hours. I just checked and unsurprisingly I've only done 245 since May 2020, but happy to have been paid and fully employed at a time when a huge number of Australian pilots were being retrenched. I assumed the international ferry market would have been rife with wealthy clients needing aircraft moved around. Has this been put on ice for the time being? Spill the beans - which single engine TP's are you flying?

Thank you. It won't be too many more months before I'll be wishing I was in the Pacific Northwest...Texas summer temps, humidity, and bird sized mosquitos are almost upon us, haha. Beautiful country up there...enjoy flying it!

@@deannawallace3687 If you you ever have a layover in Portland, Or or the greater metro area, we should do coffee and talk airplanes.

@@joerossi8948, that sounds like a great plan. Thanks for the invite!

I wouldn't mess with her!

@@joecritch143, hahaha, don't worry, they get back what they dish out. I spend quite a bit of time flying a Beech Baron 58, hence the nickname. A couple linemen at one airport started calling me that, word spread, the nickname stuck, and next thing I know t-shirts were being made.

@@deannawallace3687, I will consider temporary relocating to the US if I could have you as an instructor! :D I only started training recently and have 8 hours on a Cirrus SR20 and sound almost like your typical students mentioned in the video. I have never seen someone that relaxed whilst landing. I hope your students appreciate and realise what they have in you as an instructor, and I hope to find one that resembles the same calm demeanor as you. I agree with a previous comment, many (all) instructors are knowledgeable, but very few can teach.

@@edrichjansen5350, thank you for the compliment :D The SR20 is a great plane! I hope you enjoy training in it. As long as you observe its limitations and remember gravity always wins, it is a great airplane to fly ;)

I think it’s a great nickname

Beat me to it!

I am insanely jealous you flew all those models on floats! I have my seaplane rating, but have not really had the opportunity in Texas to make any use of it. Sounds like you and your wife had some wonderful experiences! Thanks for sharing :)

@@deannawallace3687 Thank you Deanna. All i ever wanted to do was fly planes when i was young. Had to wait till we sold a business to do it. I was 36, my wife 35 when we bought our first plane and learned. I wake up at night and think of flying in Alaska and Canada. Adding to the fun was that our children were young. A boy and girl. Vacations were always to some remote flyin lake. Lived in Alaska and Michigan so access to places were generally under 500 miles of flyingy. My son is even now an avid fisherman. He's 40. Our daughter griped that we always went to the lakes where we would have no other people around on our vacations. Now at 36 she is also an avid fisherwoman☺. Just last summer she thanked us for all those "wonderful" vacations flying into the wilderness. Sold our last plane when she headed off to college. Had to pay for having a second one in school. Wonderful memories. Ive always been thankful God blessed us with those opportunities. You are young so now you're making your own memories. BTW, Alaska flying services, and lodges are always looking for floatplane pilots. Maybe you can pull away for a summer one day and have the most fun I know of flying. Time goes so fast. I found that getting off the main roads in life, to try the things that seemed foolish to some we knew, were the things that made life more worthwhile. Can't take that away from us now. Your story took me back, made my day! Safe flying!

No 13 note chromatic tunes are required. Just the purr of the musical engine is more than sufficient!

I'm not sure 'humble' has ever been used to describe any pilot, ever, but thank you, haha. If you are an ATC, double thank you for the work you do...you guys make my life so much better!

ZZstaff Absolutely. All my PPL was on rounds and then did my instrument on G1000. Wealth of information and certainly made that rating a little easier.

I think everyone should learn both, as both systems have so much to offer in the development of instrument scan techniques and how you learn to navigate. The G1000 has amazing capabilities and I feel like I learn something new every time I get in front of one, but I still love the ease of sliding in behind round dials and taking off, not worrying about what buttons I did/did not remember to program, haha. However, for overall situational awareness and having every bit of information you need to complete a flight on the panel, the G1000 can't be beat.

When I fly, each time I rent either a C172N with normal gauges or a C172SP glass cockpit with a G1000. For longer trips I like the G1000 more but there’s just something about those oldschool gauges 🙂 still keep my ipad with skydemon as a backup though.

Hopefully Cessna will get these eps.aero/ t-diesel jet-a burning engines into the 182 and 206 as part of MAGA

@@donjohnston3776 Indeed Don, that would be great. Have been keeping a close eye on the Raptor GA Aircraft. Appears to have just about every option one could possibly want in a GA A/C, and goal is to truly have it be an affordable purchase. Time will tell. Back to Cessna: Cessna should also offer 2-place trainer, with yoke and side-stick options. Maybe the L 600 or the Sirius TL-3000? Thanks for the input and information.👍

It would be much better if they can cushion the premium for them. The saving in fuel doesn't matter a whole lot if I have to spend another $100k-$200k to get it

@@Ichibuns agreed.

@@Ichibuns true but you'd get it back on resale

idiot buy garmin g1000 or all other glass cocpit gauges ower price lot and not anythink better. old gauges work well all plane, no need waste money ower price idiot garmin shit.

Logan, WDE! I can’t believe you came across this video, haha. Hope to meet you soon.

you and i have the same eyes you beat me too it lol.

Me three - Camlock alert @ left elbow!

Dagnabbit, I need glasses! I hate I missed that!

Haha stuck out like a sore thumb.

It probably only needs 1/4 turn from the looks of it.
