+Scotty you've always got to be prepared for selfies in this digital age! Lol Thanks for watching. I will let her know you waved back!

Thanks for watching. I use to go to Orlando a few times a year but now that my kids are older I never go either.

Thanks for watching!

+Keith S that's like here today!! Without the minus! Lol thanks for watching. My next video has similar camera angles and after that they will have the missing fourth angle.

Thanks! The plane was down for maintenance longer then expected. Orlando traffic, especially on I-4 has always been ridiculous for as long as I can remember.

Isn't every hour rush hour on the 408? LOL

I am glad you continue to come along. Your loyalty is much appreciated.

YES get yourself into an airplane. That is the point of my cannel to promote aviation and motivate pilots and potential pilots!!

Thanks for watching!

stealhty1 gracias , si tengo interes, aunque mi cara a veces parezca cansada, y no hablo mas porque no quiero decir una barbaridad en ingles, estoy aprendiendo, apenas tengo 5 meses en este lindo Pais. Gracias por la bienvenida. :)

Thank you for the kind words!

Thanks for watching!

Thank you and thanks for watching

We were on 5 hours sleep and no coffee. I had the adrenaline from flying otherwise I would have been falling asleep myself. LOL

Follow your dreams!! Don't let anyone tell you that you can't!

I love peaceful flights without storms. Although I'm sure my viewers enjoy the flights with storms more. It makes for better videos! LOL

Thank you. They are still a work in progress but if I stick with these angles I think I will be going with a 4 camera base setup. Just felt I was missing an angle.

Welcome to my channel & I am glad you found me as well. Even if the only perk is not looking through the prop effect! LOL J/K Thanks for subscribing!

Thanks

Thank you!!

Thanks for watching! The plane was down for maintenance and with the past hurricane it was behind schedule so I was grounded longer then expected. I don't mind questions. It shows interest! Enjoy the holidays as well!!

Thanks! With this setup I felt like I was missing an angle but I do like it. I will just have to go with a 4 Camera base setup.

+Marah Sendoza thank you and thanks for watching.

Thank you!

+James Wikstrom thank you. My next flight (not next video) I will add back the 4th camera and tweak the panel view. I think I have a better idea of how to improve it. Thanks for watching and the feedback!

Thank you! Never thought of myself as eye candy!! HAHAHAHA

+Frank South she always looks great but I'm not sure how well I clean up. Lol I do prefer my casual attire when flying. At least until I get A/C in the airplane. Thankfully it's not summer now.

Nice! I trained in TMB but actually did my check ride at ORL back when Air Orlando was there.

With the cameras rolling it like having the world watching. So I am held accountable for every landing! LOL

Thanks for coming along. Sounds like you've had some great trips. Keep flying the sims and hopefully you can get back into it one day. Light Sport or otherwise.

Thank you. Probably my editing. Lol

Thanks. Don't miss it to much. Get out there and fly!

It did thanks . Was only there a few hours but ORL is easy to get in and out of.

Thanks for watching!

Welcome to my channel. Thank you for watching. As a business traveler you will appreciate many of my other videos as well.

I look forward to watching them. Thank you for the reply!

Movie Magic!! LOL Thanks for watching!

I have some limited IFR experience and that's a little more than movie magic.

+Fernando M thank you fo the kind words.

Thank you. I am very lucky. However you are missing out on some great flights if you only watch the flights that have Lucy. Not to mention I don't always put her in the thumb and title. 😉

I always fight that inner battle between wanting to show the entire flight and keeping the video short and more action packed. I was just asked why I don't show the preflight. I use to show more. I like P1D's style of showing everything but I am not sure I could get away with that in a piston. I actually almost left in the briefing and when I loaded the approach even though I knew it would be a visual approach. But for my French Connection, I will see what I can do in a future video. (not the next one, its already done) ;-)

I can easily understand your fight, but anyway you cannot satisfy everyone... I just share my opinion with you, and it's always a huge pleasure to see an answer from America! Thanks for taking my comment into account, I look forward to seeing your next video :D

+CraigScott Media Shirley you must be kidding?

Thank you 😊

Thanks! Sorry for the delay. The airplane was down for maintenance. I should be getting back to posting regularly.

Ah maintenance, that's always good to do. How do you record your audio? I like the new camera angles, makes it easier to see the 6 pack.

+Carson Brian I have a cable that attaches from the intercom to the camera

Ah, roger that.

Thanks for the feedback and for watching!

Thank you.

+ZooBro Adventure Vlogs nice!! I flew a Navajo a few weeks back. Hoping to get more time in it and some video footage for my channel. Must say it was easier to fly then my Baron. More like a bus. Lol

That's why we are getting the plane. We need the weight capabilities and range it offers. Plus should be a little faster than the Seneca V. Growing up my dad flew beach planes. Started with a debonair, then A36, then a Baron (can't remember the model) Think it was the the 58.

I hope you are working towards it. I don't have any trips to Chicago planned this year but I will be going to OSH.

Baron Pilot awesome man. Your videos are so cool and very education and extremely encouraging. I thank you much for posting. Tell the young lady, your wife, i said hello. Lol.

Ya I'm still learning what works best and how to mount it. It still needs to be tweaked. My next video I moved it back but I think I want to move it even farther forward. I also need to bring back my 4th camera that sits in the center over my shoulder. Sorry to hear about your heart but I am glad you're ok. I had a friend that was able to get his medical back. It took him a few years but he did get it.

Baron Pilot Thanks for your reply. On the medical I will pursue getting the proper Special Issuances. I know there are other options that don’t require a medical but I don’t want the restrictions that come with that.

I can't say I blame you. Please keep me informed as you go. I look forward to hearing you're back in the skys!

Much like golf, there is more then one way to hit the ball, but I believe the most important thing to be be consistent in your procedures. My call out have nothing to do with the camera and everything to do with my procedures even when I am alone. I have been fortunate enough over the years to fly with many pilots. I never critique the pilots but I pay attention to what I like and don't like and take something from every person I fly with. Sometimes it is what to do, other times it is what not to do. LOL I also studied aviation safety and human factors. So between the two I have developed my own style. I find I am forever tweaking, trying to improve.

+Ron Wilson I like low angle of the dash but it needs some tweaking. I quickly realized I need to bring back the overhead camera as I felt I was missing an angle. It's a never ending work in progress. Lol. Thanks for watching!

Five cameras (you said 4 in a previous reply to someone). The two where they are now, the one on the panel looking forward where it is now, the one returned to the overhead, and one more on the tail tie down for the outside view.

Thank you!! I personally prefer the mini on my yoke but I have seen people go with the larger.

Thank you all the way in Belgium.

Michel Bruneel muchas gracias, saludos Michel.

Yes I am. :-)

+SkyHawk ProFlightGamingTM thanks!

I have to clean up every once in a while!! LOL I don't have a polarizer but I do have a ND filter. The biggest problem with the ND is when I am flying in the morning or evening. Unless the sun is fully up it is too dark. But even in the afternoon, I would prefer a gradient filter. Once I get my camera angles tweaked and all my cameras updated I will experiment more with the filters.

+Michael Stern I have mounted a camera on my tail a few times. Someone hasn't watched all my videos 😉

Thank you. It is an Invicta.

Nice!! That must have been a fun flight!! I like the long flights!

Baron Pilot, it was great fun. The longest flight I made was when our club sold the 152 and I delivered it, flying from Evansville, IN (EVV), to Brazoria County, TX (LBX) and returning the next day on a commercial flight out of Houston. I departed EVV about 0730 on a crisp February morning, made two fuel stops on the way, and arrived at LBX just before sunset. That’s a long day of flying in a 152 with no autopilot. Just me and a small cooler of Diet Cokes.

That is correct. The iPad is running an app called Avidyne IFD100. It connects via WIFI to my Avidyne IFD series GPS. It is capable of controlling/entering everything into my panel mount with the exception of swapping frequencies. I believe that is a safety measure incase the app were to malfunction. I love it.

+Stacy Palmer thank you. I have a few more tweaks for future videos that I think will be good.

I am still working on a reliable way to record my iPad screens.

Baron Pilot Good luck

It's a great airport1

+E Arundel ipadyokemounts.com. Tell him I sent you. No financial gain for me. He's a good guy and I like to support small businesses.

your copilot should use the snugger band that Clarity offers..i think she'd find them even more comfortable. They look like they are pulling down a bit....I'll bet she also doesn't use the lapel clip...lol

I am a fan of lightweight headsets. I have been using these for years. Now that there are a few options I may try out a few others this year. I try to tell her to use the clip. I am not familiar with the snugger band. I will have to look into it.

Just call Clarity and ask them for one...its an elastic band that lets the headset fit much better on smaller heads. I put my Clarity's on my granddaughter (7 years old) and the snugger band kept them in place.

Just looked it up. I use to have them years ago. I never used them. When my kids were little they had kids headsets. Once I get her to use the clip if its still pulling down I may try that. Thanks!

yea...i see she keeps adjusting the mic....the clip and the snugger band will keep the mic in place for her.

Thanks for the feedback.

????? I had 3 green.

Thank you for watching. I have been slowly upgrading the avionics. I hope to update the radar screen soon. My second ipad does store and load flight plans into my IFD. In fact it completely controls my IFD with the exception of swapping frequencies. I keep it there so it sits at my finger tips keeping me from having to reach and it enables me to have a much larger screen then a IFD550 or GTN750. It doesn't really block my access to anything. The cross bar does that.

Mark, you REALLY need to study the Avidyne IFD series of FMS units. The IFD440 is a direct, slide in replacement for the GNS430W navigator, but the big thing is the IFD100, which is the app that BP is running on the iPad. It takes that tiny little 440 screen, and puts it on the iPad, and will also do the same thing for the IFD 500 series as well. Not only that, but it actually adds capabilities. You can actually have two different displays, one on the FMS itself, and a second, completely different display on the iPad. As BP said, everything you can do from the panel of the IFD series, except swap frequencies, is available on the IFD100 app. You can do your flight planning at home, and then upload to the box when you get the airplane. Furthermore, and God knows I never thought I'd say this until a few months ago, I prefer the IFD over the GTN or GNS boxes. It's flight planning capabilities are so much nicer, you can do touch screen reroutes, and all around, Avidyne has just done a better job than Garmin. Sure, Garmin beat the Entegra system, but Entegra was the first out of the gate, and Garmin learned from them and made the G1000 and follow on stuff better. However, Avidyne came back and really took Garmin to school on the rest of it. Garmin still exceeds Avidyne is some stuff, but Avidyne is less expensive, and does more. BP needs to add an EX6000 display for his radar, and replace that Collins NavCom with a new IFD440, but honestly, he has a really great setup with Avidyne. He get me to look at it, and convinced me if I ever buy an airplane, it'll have Avidyne FMS systems in it. Do the research, look at the features, learn for yourself.

Gary C REALLY? Thank you for the advice. But... 1. I live and fly in Europe and Avidyne is mostly the US market product. 2. I did not insist BP to buy any specific avionics. I said ‘something like...’. If you read carefully... It’s a matter of his personal preference. And REALLY, saying that this brand is better over that is a kids talk. They’re competitors. 3. And if you ‘ever buy an airplane’ you will understand the difference between DEDICATED and PREINSTALLED avionics system and a software version. You can simply forget your iPad somewhere or it can fall down or go crazy rebooting and so on. 😉 Your life your choice.

Hi Mark, Avidyne may not have the presence in Europe that they do in the U.S., and even in the U.S., it isn't as large as Garmin is, it still works in Europe. You said "I would throw out all the right side of the avionics, including the grandma TV. . . ." which to me, means you would get rid of all of it, including the Avidyne he has installed. Also, the IFD440 is 'something like' the GTN-750, in that both are touchscreen devices, both have full Nav and Com features and both are GPS units. So, it's already there. However, saying one brand is better than the other isn't so much 'kids talk', I'm NOT bashing Garmin. I am saying, dollar for dollar, Avidyne gives you a better solution with a richer feature set and abilities the Garmins don't have. Again, look at what the IFD100 app is all about. It only ADDS to the capability of the IFD series navigators, and they function perfectly well without it. For a little bit better understanding of the system, watch these two videos that BP put up. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qKhorbRpsNWviH0.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftRipNKCv6qnoWQ.html If anything that you say would happen to the iPad, then it's fine, you simply revert back to doing everything directly on the box. But, in the earlier, pre-'84 Barons and Bonanzas, because of the radio placement, the IFD-100 app works very nicely with the Avidynes for accessing data, controlling the boxes, all the way up to everything except physically switching frequencies. I respectfully stand by my comments.

I have not. I mount one underneath but it is protected by the fuselage. I want to mount one on the wing but I've been nervous about it holding up at cruise speeds.

It was an early morning. She loves Baron Airways!! Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks

In my case my engines are past TBO so I can't really complain. But I think a lot of it has to do with how pilots operate their airplane's and some are overhaul shop related. Case in point. My buddy overhauled 2 IO470's at the same time on his Baron. From the start he found what he felt were abnormalities in the right engine but was told it was fine. At 500 hours, and past any warranty, he brought the plane to another shop and had to replace all 6 jugs on the right engine. That was a $15,000 bill!!! The new shop believed it was an issue from day one that the other shop didn't want to own up to. In fact the mechanic said if he wasn't a twin with a perfect left engine, he would have assumed it was operator neglect. That's why sometimes when you think you're saving money with a overhaul shop, you may be spending much more in the long run.

The best spot is where the window is. I can do that in the winter, but come summer time.......

I've never been. It looks like a cool airport. I may have to add that to my list of airports to visit.

I have the ND filters from Nflight for the Gopro but to be honest, I don't like the way they look. Tends to be too dark for my taste. I would also prefer a gradient filter instead. Although the ND would have been useful when I was landing into the sun. I don't know how I get so lucky. I think my settings may have something to do with it.

I always set the bugs no matter how I am flying. I believe consistency is your friend. I found I was using the autopilot too much and my hand flying skills were diminishing. Now I will completely hand fly some flights and use the autopilot once I am leveled off at altitude for others. Just depends on my mood and the weather. But as a rule, at a minimum, I try to hand fly to altitude.

Dane Watson he has an outside mirror which allows visual observation of the gear. There are different types, some placed in a way that allows a view of only one, there’s allow a view of two or three.

Midlife Flight is Correct. "One in the mirror" refers to visually confirming I see the nose gear down in the mirror on my engine cowling. It isn't necessary as my lights give me the indication but it is a habit of mine to confirm since I have the capability to do so.

Midlife Flight Thanks for the info

Baron Pilot Thanks for your reply and info

Payne Stewart departed MCO not ORL. They are very close to one another. If I recall correctly MCO has a place at the end/beginning of the runway where you can watch the airplanes come and go. ORL has a part on the SW corner of the field where yo can watch.

* PARK not part.

Vr for the Baron is 84 kts.

I will go back to having a 4th camera mounted to the roof. I don't like tripods in the back because it will interfere with backseat passengers and potentially block my hand crank should I ever need to lower my gear manually.

I have had them since 2003 and I love the light weight over the traditional headsets. At the time they were the only game in town that made headsets like these. I wish someone made a noise canceling lightweight. Now that there are a few others in the market, I think I need to see how the others compare. I have recommended these to a few of my friends. Some didn't like them after buying them. Remember, lightweight headsets are a different feel then traditional headsets and you must get the ear foam inserted properly for proper use.

Thank you for the reply. I do need something similar because sometimes a waterfall comes out of my ears when I remove a headset :)) Besides, I don't really care about the noise.

Don't get me wrong, when used properly, they block out noise as good as any traditional headset. Let me know what you decide.

I will. Cheers.

She loves to fly. She still gets a little nervous but the videos don't do her justice. Thanks for watching and the positive feedback.

They say the mind is the second thing to go!! ;-)

😂

G'day!! Thank you. I am planning of visiting Australia sometime in the near future!!! I hope you had a Merry Christmas as well and Happy New Year to you and yours!!

No landing fees and the FBO waived the parking fee with a fuel purchase.
