GROUNDED! in Orlando, Citation M2 Pickup, Pilot Vlog 26

Pilot Vlog 26. I take an airline flight down to Orlando Florida where I'm supposed to pick up a Cessna Citation M2 at the Cessna Service Center and fly it to Saint Louis. Unfortunately, I found a problem with the airplane as i was doing the preflight. The necessary part to fix the aircraft was not at the center so instead of flying the M2 back, I had to get a hotel room and spend the night.

A fellow pilot suggested I always take a simple change of clothes (underwear, socks, shirt, etc) with me if I'm flying a cross country and get stuck overnight somewhere due to mechanical issues, weather, sickness, etc. I stopped taking the change of clothes with me, but I think I'll put them back in my flight bag now. I always learn something from your videos, even if it might be due to your misfortune! Clear skies to you.

I am currently a Aircraft Maintenance student through Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics, and I can't wait to get my license so I can start fixing aircraft! Hopefuly I will be able to catch issues like that before they cause a huge mess!

It's funny how people don't realize how badly a mech failure can affect flight ops. This is a great example of how that happens.

@3:43 ... I was waiting for the flight attendant to come on the intercom and ask, "Does some one know how to fly a jet!?" and low and behold you'd spring to attention!!! lol! By the way those energy bars you bought, I was focusing on the almond/cranberry flavor thinking I could mentally steer you to buy that one hahaha...

I used to deliver airplanes but a lot smaller than what you fly. My specialty was airplanes with tailwheels and fabric covering.

Captain Moonbeam. There is NO way that I, your humble servant, could do what you do! WAY to much activity for "Moi!" :) Well, then again, I'm 77 years old, and you are a "whipper-snapper." (I mean that in a good way :) Great videos. Thanks. My aviation competence was (no longer fly) getting up early enough, to make those "fly in" breakfasts." :)

@captmoonbeam 8 жыл бұрын

+Michael Donavon Thanks Michael. It's odd to hear you say that because, I'm normally thinking to myself "I need to stop being lazy and get on the ball, pick it up a little bit. My copilot puts me to shame. He's older than I and is a workout machine. he also does lots of volunteer work like working on peoples houses that need help and every time we fly he's talking about the half dozen projects he's been doing since we last flew.

wow, crazy day! you might know this already (tell me to shut up if you do lol) that chili's at the southwest terminal at lambert is open for breakfast, unless you didn't have time to sit down and eat also, early bird on Southwest...$12.50 each way, guaranteed A boarding pass and you don't have to check in 24 hrs before your flight to get it ;) Can't wait to see the follow up, ty!

@captmoonbeam 8 жыл бұрын

+Brian McGee I've thought of going to the Chili's before a flight for breakfast but, I've been worried about it taking too long and having to run before getting food. All good points. Unfortunately, it's hard to overcome the wrong airline/terminal factor. At least it was the right day.

Hi boss! Could you shoot some video about your preparation for the flight, calculating the route, AIP and NOTAM inspection , and weather chart . Do you use e6b?:D Just curious .The worst thing for me is to be in a hurry , what about you ? Thanks!

@captmoonbeam 8 жыл бұрын

+Mike Thomson For me it's running to catch a connecting flight when you're hungry and gotta pee but, you run past the mens room because they're about to close the door. I honestly can;t remember the last time I used an E6B. I use fltplan.com for flight planning and every aircraft I fly has an FMS (Flight management system)

@oceanhoevet8453 7 жыл бұрын

If you want pre check every time I would recommend paying $100 for five years and that also gives you global entry when you fly international on the Wirlines. Also great job on all the videos.

Hey captmoonbeam, how do you get into your kind of job doing what you do?

@captmoonbeam 8 жыл бұрын

+Razgriz_Reborn It takes a lot of time and experience as well as being in the right place at the right time. One other thing is that I'm typed in nine different corporate jets and can fly single pilot in three. If you add all the sub variants of those aircraft it gives me the advantage of being useful in a lot of various situations
