Excellent video Bill. I'll be flying my Cherokee from FFZ to SNA for the first time soon and this was the perfect orientation briefing. Especially like the emphasis on VFR checkpoints and informal "arrival procedures."

That cardinal is a beauty!

Very cool video Bill. I really enjoyed that. And I got to learn about the "arrivals" VFR) for John Wayne that I fly to and from in the sim

Made it look easy ...great job

Hey Bill! I knew you were a pro just by hearing you on PilotEdge, and this proves it. Awesome flight my man.

Loved this video. I've flown out of Corona GA and out of SNA commercially. I live in south county and flew almost over the spectrum

My home airspace, going to bookmark the video because socal is never that green and i can see my house, lol.

Beautiful views!

After you land, Tower tells you to turn right and hold short, you have to read that back, then immediately he tells you keep it rolling cross rwy etc...he could have done that in 1 single , save you and himself time... Specially himself

touch down just after the numbers, sweet.

Enjoy your flying videos. Any plans to attend the 2024 SUN n FUN & which days? Hope to see you there. Aloha! Pilot Phil✈️

Grew up at SNA. None of this is in the remarks. You’re not expected to know any of this, as you said, it’s non-standard. If you fly normally, they’ll hold your hand and help you out. If you know the hidden rules, even better. I’m just saying this to clarify/demistify a lot of airport’s local tribal knowledge and it’s ok to not know all these hidden procedures airports and their locals have created. If it’s not available on official publications (AIM, remarks, NOTAMs, or the ATIS) it’s shouldn’t be expected to know. That being said, it makes ATC’s lives easier and keeps the nonaviation neighbors happy if you do.

Was that like a continuous turn from the end of downwind then base to final?
