As an old guy who will never see the left seat, thanks for all your work. Very informative and helps me get a grasp on the big picture.

one of the best GA flight channels on YT. great multicam, great real world comms, great piloting. always click on your vids when posted. thanks for the great work.

BambinoGames just beat me to the punch. Great views, excellent inflight commentary. I finally flew a cross country yesterday. Took a buddy and his family to Tulsa to catch a flight to Orlando. His wife and son had never been in a GA aircraft. His wife was very nervous until we climbed into smooth, cool air @ 5500. She immediately relaxed and said she would definitely do it again. His son wanted me to fly them on to Orlando. He said it was a lot more fun than commercial. Thanks again. Great channel.

I am now going through some of your older uploads to glean all I can, and am certainly not disappointed, same top quality level of shared experience. Closest thing to actually knowing a pilot.

As a newly certified IFR pilot, I can't tell you how much this video has help me learn the weather outside the window as compared to the radar on the ipad. It was a real good lesson for me before I learned what not to fly in the hard way. I've been searching all over for a video like this. Thanks again this video.

I know this video is now five years old but it was thoroughly enjoyable. Really appreciated your suggestions concerning ifr imc operations. You are an excellent instructor. Thanks again. Looking forward to your next video with your "princess".

Excellent video. Thank you for doing these videos for those of us who can no longer fly and for those waiting to be able to fly. We appreciate it.

Hello, I recently "found" your channel and wanted to express my appreciation for your videos - they're well done, your comments are all germane to the minutiae of instrument work, and you really know your stuff. Watching these is like a little BFR. I also wanted to commend you for thanking ATC for their efforts. They deserve more credit than they often receive. Best, DB

Thanks for those good, practical lessons.

I am a new subscriber to your videos. They are very entertaining and well narrated. I can appreciate the workload you mentioned as a single pilot. You do an excellent job of staying ahead of the plane, replying to ATC and monitoring your instruments. It is a pleasure to watch a professional pilot at work!!!

i just discovered your channel. the best channel for pilots that there is imo. nothing left off. the actual flight and some good advice for us

Awesome discussion about single pilot IFR Kris... Well done.. Excellent decision making regarding the weather.... It's always better to be safe... Those FLA thunderstorms are NOTHING to play with.....

Very nice job of flying as usual. You always seem to bring your " A " Game to the cockpit. You certainly have a challenge flying with all the weather cells in FL but you deal with them nicely. Your experience shows in the cockpit! Love your videos and look forward to many more.

Love the sound of those engines.

I'm not a pilot, but I love aviation and seldom miss a minute of your videos -- along with several others -- I get a tremendous amount of education via your commentary. Keep up the great work and know we'll be here soaking it all up!!

Awesome job...enjoyed the video and the flight 👍

Great video and thanks for the instruct. Also, good comments you made for the ATC guys. Oh, and grrreat landing.

Amazing video as always ! Nice filming/editing. I always watch your video and learn someting every time. You are sharing your flight experience I apprenciate it ! Keep it up !

Wow, this one was absolutely awesome! I was delighted with your last video, which is a nice training material, but this is still better! Your explanations were quite clear, and as usual you deal with these situations with a great professionalism! Keep posting that kind of videos, I LOVE them! Many thunderstorms here in eastern France today too 😉 safe flying!

A bonus tip for using an autopilot. Especially, an AP with electric trim. Memorize the location of it's breaker. If it isn't collared, collar it. Runaway trim accidents are incredibly easy to prevent but still happen.

Excellent trip. Very enjoyable. Thank you ATB Martin

This is a really great channel. Learn a little from almost every video; time invested, not wasted.

Very entertaining video and informative as well. Even before you gave your appreciative shout out to the controllers I was thinking about how helpful that first controller was by trying to keep you clear of the bad stuff. That was a very good summary about the things that must be done in order to stay ahead of the aircraft.

Most excellent video, Baron Pilot. Interesting and informative for both aviators and non aviators (such as me). Keep up the good work.

Great. Video😎. THANKS FOR THE RIDE

Really enjoyed that Chris. I'm only a low hour Recreational Pilot from Australia and initially dismissed this video as it was 'above my pay grade' - but I learned a lot. A little bit of wee may have come out when you entered that big cloud :) Thanks and stay safe.

ATC was very helpful to all and I love to ride along, Thanks!

Awesome video man, great editing, multiple cams, not to mention a really great plane!

Thanks for the videos, I'll be flying a 68' baron 58 soon, nice to see someone fly one on video.

Thank you for having us along. Good talk.

thank you for the training I learned a lot as a student pilot, I will be watching more of the information you put out. I look forward to learning more.

Great video. Really enjoyed it.Brings back memories flying my Bonanza N4556M around the Fl area. Always a challenge getting around the buildups Really miss it. Thanks

Thanks for putting this together! Great video...

YES, now I have an excuse to sit in front of the computer for nearly an hour! Gotta love the weekend! :)

Super stuff, thanks for taking the time.

Sir, this is a superb video. Thanks a lot!

I really enjoyed your video. I subscribed and am looking forward to more of your videos.

Enjoyed the lesson - Thanks...

Enjoyed the video. Good job!

u know what I like about this guy, he's never a hotdog. Very enjoyable vid, tanx.

First time on your channel, it was totally excellent. Will view some of the others.

Just got my IFR here in KFMY. Thanks!

It’s been a few years since was in the Navy and flew P3’ based in Brunswick, Maine. I really miss flying but will always recognize a true professional aviator. I don’t know his background. Doesn’t matter what it was. Very very impressed the way he approached IFR solo twin engine. Flying into Brunswick Maine or Iceland. Of course deploying to Bermuda twice was a treat. My highlight there was taking my Mother on a complete tour of Bermuda since it was her favorite pl;ace. Thanks again.

That was a great flight, big guy... Your comments well done... It reminded me of some issues that a person gets relaxed on... There is nothing good about getting behind the airplane... Seems like when you do issues start mounting and can get worse all the way to the ground...

Very interesting video. I don't fly but I would love to learn some day. ATC comms seems very intimidating from the outside. Definitely earned a sub!

Very nice. Thank you!

Great flight well flown and very informative thanks again cheers

I just found your, and watched this all the way through. I found it very inspiring. With sound common sense advice. Basically pre-plan your full flight on the ground, not complete it in the air. Thank you.

Great flight and excellent information.

First time watcher and will be back, enjoyed the video. Currently I fly a Mooney M20C

Really enjoyed this vid

An excellent service to the GA community, kudos!

Really loving your videos! Beautiful flying, and excellent detailed explanation. I really get a lot out of watching each one, thanks for putting in the time to produce them. Question: do you have an autopilot?

Cool looking watch band!!!

Thank you Baron

A very useful and interesting video, thanks.

Nice vids..Learning a lot!!

I appreciaed your lecturing about preparedness

Great video!

Great video. Interesting R/T (No chatter). Perfect multi-cam, especially on final. Hopefully, my prayers for less expensive digital equipment will come true one day.

nice video. just subscribed. look forward to watching more

TY for the Great Video

very nice mate awesome

I like your videos. I learn a lot to fly on the flightsimulator, thank you regards Roelof from the Netherlands

Great videos. The next best thing to being there.

great video thanks you for sharing

I'm not sure if pilots in other parts of the country realize that if you want to fly anywhere in Florida during the summer, you're quite apt to be quickly in IMC at any time. So, "staying ahead of the airplane" is most important. But staying ahead of the meteorological conditions in Florida means doing as much prep on the ground beforehand. Those of us who fly down lower; can scud-run, to a degree, especially since we are familiar with the airspace, but it's important to always remember that takeoffs are discretionary. Of course, in Florida you can just as quickly be in CAVU ten minutes after being in the soup. Nice video, nice professional flying attitude.

Nice flight, enjoyed it.

Great training video.....as usual!

Great commentary and video. Estero. Go Eagles.

I used to fly company B58 love that airplane stable IFR platform N1825W

Outstanding vid. Great tips. New subscriber

I'm hopefully about to start school for my A&P License in September. I just helped clean a Baron 58P.. I must say the left main landing gear is always substantially dirtier than the right main landing gear.. Haha. Keep up the great work!

Wonderful video !! Your presentation is one of the best and view frequently. Might I ask which app you use for editing and the recorder you use. Thanks again and keep 'em coming. Look forward to more.

i love flying in the weather. i do regular round trips between KFXE and KPVC, 1169nm... always IFR. I always enter at least the first several waypoints before departure... the trip without an autopilot would be no fun. the trip without onboard weather would be a no-go...

Baron Pilot. Thank you, just watched and subscribed immediately. Enjoy the full flight videos. Like your I pad setup and instrument panel. Is that an older Bendix Weather Vision?. Thank's again, looking forward to flying along again soon. jG

Great video! Thanks for all the technical details. Your ipad screens look like they get brighter and brighter as the sun is going down almost as if they would really interfere with your night vision. Are they actually that bright at night or is that just the way they look on the video?

Have to give some credit to the controller. He went out beyond the bare minimum and really tried to get the pilots the safety most comfortable pathway to their destinations.

Nice video discussing Single Pilot IFR in Florida weather. I have a 172S and make some of the same trips you do, albeit slower 😀. One of the things I like is hearing you verbalize your decision making process and then hearing your communications with ATC. Since my decisions and ATC commas are similar, it helps me confirm I'm getting a few things right! Why do you fly at lower enroute altitudes, though? There are times when you fly at 8000' and it seems that climbing to 10 or 12 would eliminate most of the left/right course deviation you end up doing. Takes a while to get there in a 172, but if I'm going more than 200nm it seems worth the effort. Just my opinion, asked because you have such a capable aircraft.

thanks for the ride

Subscribed. Excellent video. You've got a beautiful bird. It's also the first I've seen with a throttle quadrant set up as Prop Throttle Mix vs. TPM. Is your headset ANR? I've flown with a DC Clark for four years and am thinking of switching to a smaller setup like yours.

Great videos, i follow you from Argentina. on 1995 i flu during my comercial and instrument rating at FXE.

Great Video! Can you now and then show and talk about Approach Plates, SID's and STAR's? (like you have enough to do) Just now and then. I'm studying for my IFR. You would make a Good CFI. Thanks Again!

Are the CHT gauges on the RHS redundant as they seem to have a quite a large split? Obviously you use the digital CHT in front of you but I am curious about the difference. And thanks for the videos. I have been out of the flying game for a while and am slowly reintegrating myself back in so I enjoy your trips as it gives me a chance to think like a pilot again, only cheaper!.. for now.

I like to fly with you, I enjoy the whole route; I confess that I didn't realise when you landed, it was great, I congratulate you and thank you for the ride

He needs more IPADS ;). Great video. Well done. Good lessons.

excellent video. As a recently retired enroute and approach air traffic controller, a few comments about controllers and weather...our radar might not display weather as well as your equipment so if you see weather you don't want to penetrate, speak up and request a deviation. Controllers are assuming, since your on an IFR flight plan, you will penetrate precipitation. They won't let you penetrate severe weather without telling you about it but they are expecting you to state if you want deviations. They may want you to deviate a certain direction based on their traffic, airspace concerns, traffic load of controllers around them, etc. If that doesn't work for you based on what you're seeing on your equipment, tell them No. You are the PIC...you are responsible for a safe flight. Also tell the controller how many degrees off course and for how long (if you know how long) That gives the controller information to base his traffic plans on and can expedite an approval for the deviation. Some controllers are IFR pilots themselves so if you're getting lots of attention from a controller in the vicinity of weather, chances are good he/she is a pilot and knows what you're experiencing and is proactively helping you stay safe.

Great video Baron Pilot, though I would wait with with the gear when I was sure there is no sufficient runway available in case of an eventual emergency landing.

The US ATC /controllers are great! I wish I had this kind of support here in Brazil!

Awesome flight! I'll stick to flight sims, I get scared enough navigating around storms in the boat. What do you do if weather turns bad at your destination while underway? Have you ever had to change your flight plan mid flight or do you find somewhere to fly circles until it passes?

Thank you for all the great tips; I can see how doing those tasks that will save you (or cost you 5-10 seconds later), amounts to being ahead of the aircraft. What would you be the amount of time you are ahead of the aircraft generally (30 seconds or closer to a minute, or more)?

nice video, It is a nice explanation that I have ever seen and heard about. It is very educative. I would like to know what kind of APP GPS your use? I use Nav Pro but I don´t have radar wheather in it. Thank for your videos, Very nice to see it.

Awesome video! Seems like a ton of stress flying small planes.

Whenever you talk to ATC or get a response from them, I try to figure it out as though I was onboard. It helps me a lot to comprehend and first of all apprehend the situation. By the way my son aged 17 would like to become a CPL , ha has just started his first PPL . He would like to go to Canada to study it there. He is having his instruction on a Cessna Skyhawk 172.We already got in touch with a couple of Canadian aviation schools. Grondair based in Quebec seems to be his choice. Since we are a french province in the Indian ocean we tried to have contacts with a french flying academy but it is extremely expensive and so selective to enter.

Nice video. You need onboard radar for all that circumnavigation! I love XM but feel TS avoidance requires radar.

Lot of work to make this video! Great job. I'm logging the time as First Occifer. :)

You make IFR seem very manageable in your Baron. Do you think it w/b worth the extra maint. costs to have a P-Baron or other pressurized plane like a Meridian or a P210?

Great job on video, and sharing. One item I always struggle with as an IFR pilot of a bonanza is what altitude to fly. Fly under the deck to watch , try to get on top to navigate around. I have onboard XM weather i also look at the Skew T logs, but they will not always tell you what the general cloud tops are, but what the CB tops are so not always a good tool. How do you decide when to go hi, when to go through, and when to stay below ?

Thanks since I also own a B55 and have a home in Stuart Florida, I have learned a lot about florida flying and the B55. Is clarity aloft the classic or the one with Bluetooth? I have always used headsets with noise canceling.

Great video! What is the power setting on final for that aircraft?
