My Time To Fly

Күн бұрын

I jumped over Canada to save a bunch of time on my most recent trip. Internationally might be a bit of a stretch, but I was over Canadian soil for quite some time.
Sparta Michigan to Horseheads New York in under 3 hours. All thanks to my Mooney M20C! This easily would have been a +9 hour drive.
Can you guess what the door to door time will be? Leaving my house to touchdown in NY.

That was my kind of flying video, Cory! Perfect. It was for pilots so that we experience the flight as if we were flying along and doing the work ourselves. Thank you! 👍👍 You have mentioned before about the EFB you use, but I would like to point out that ForeFlight has the capability to share the EFB display via Bluetooth with passengers’ phones or tablets. I haven’t done it, since my flying days are over except on MSFS2020, but I am going to try it there just for fun. Seems like a cool way to involve your passenger.

Sweet trip! I live in NJ just East of Philadelphia, My father lives in Branch County MI a couple hrs South of Sparta. It's nice to know that I could make that trip to his area if I wanted to in less than 4 hrs. I also saw the short video you posted about size and the Mooney. I'm 6'1, 215 lbs and took my first ride in a Mooney M20C the other day, I didn't feel crammed at all. Headspace was a tad lacking but I would definitely sacrifice some headroom for that cruising speed! Cheers Corey!

Interestingly, Canadian Pilot here...on my trips out of CYSN extreme east end of the Niagara Peninsula to points south and west, once I'm south of London, I'm talking to Cleveland and Selfridge picks me up about 20 miles after that. Our primary Centre in Ontario is Toronto Pearson (CYYZ) and on afternoons all summer they were denying entry to the Class C to all VFR traffic and not offering flight following outside of it...apparently they have a rather major shortage of radar controllers. The real point is, you were adequately high that both Selfridge and Cleveland could manage your transit and way out of London airspace. Cool ride along...my Cherokee 140 won't make those speeds!

So awesome to have you here Richard! I appreciate your perspective as a Canadian aviator. The controller shortage is very unfortunate, I hope it doesn’t prevent any travel for you. I feel very fortunate to have the Mooney speed, it’s pretty addictive!

Great video, Cory! I’m curious why you didn’t try to file your plan through FlyQ, instead of WXBrief.
@MyTimeToFly
@MyTimeToFly Жыл бұрын
I did file through FlyQ at first, but wasn’t sure how to activate my plan. So, I took the “sure” route through WX brief and will study the FlyQ side this week sometime.

Nice flight. One suggestion - Might want to avoid habit of touching/activating any controls (e.g. flaps etc.) after landing until clear of runway and stopped. Limits any control input errors while rolling. If have co-pilot, then they can do that after confirming with you they are doing it.
@MyTimeToFly
@MyTimeToFly Жыл бұрын
I hadn’t really considered this. I have however seen copilots attempt to “retract the flaps” but raise the gear instead. I like to retract the flaps as quickly as possible, but I certainly appreciate your point.

@@MyTimeToFly I’m a CFi w a Mooney M20E. Definitely don’t touch anything on a check ride while on the runway! Except possibly raise flaps for a short field landings but I’d check w DPE first.

Do you have to be using a flight plan to cross into Canada if you’re using flight following? I’ve thought of doing this flight but never sure the exact regs for international overflight like that. Was surprised you didn’t talk to Canada ATC either that’s crazy.

I had people tell me they’ve made the trip without a flight plan…I just didn’t want to risk it. I’d do it again, no doubt about that!

Most of the time I think my next airplane is going to be a Piper Arrow since it's basically a retractable version of my Piper Cherokee (and also it's not as expensive as what I'd really like to do: build a Sling). But then without fail, whenever I watch one of your videos, I think instead that I should get a Mooney. The very simple landing gear and the efficiency being the primary drivers. What would you say is the worst thing about your airplane? My biggest concern is the short landing gear and bouncy taxi. Seems like there's a bigger risk for a prop strike. Knowing what you know, where would you rank my concern? What is your biggest concern?
@MyTimeToFly
@MyTimeToFly Жыл бұрын
I would rank your concern pretty low, but mostly because I fly in and out of paved runways almost exclusively. I do know many people who land them in grass or even gravel without issue though! My biggest concern (reality) is my current magnetization issue. Some people will cite a lack of parts with the factory’s instability, but I haven’t had any issues there. They are great planes, I truly love mine!
@gringoloco8576
@gringoloco8576 Жыл бұрын
I own a Mooney M20E and fly Pipers When I teach. Definitely get a Mooney. Much better built. The only downside is the Arrow has a bit more useful load. The Mooney handles way better than an older Arrow though (dogs) w the short wings.
@gringoloco8576
@gringoloco8576 Жыл бұрын
Prop strike risk is slightly increased for a Mooney M20E but it does make you a very good pilot as you have to be disciplined. Just make sure you put it on the mains first. I've had some pretty first short field landings during commercial and CFI training in my Mooney, but just so those mains hit first you don't prop strike.

Have you tried over square ops like Mike Busch speaks about?
@MyTimeToFly
@MyTimeToFly Жыл бұрын
I haven’t done much in the way of over square. I’ll have to find his presentation on it.
@TheBarzook
@TheBarzook Жыл бұрын
Over square on a non-turbo happens mainly below 3000 ASL. He seemed to be flying at 8500 ASL so the MAP is probably around 20. To run oversquare at that altitude you would need to run sub 2000 rpm, which in some 360 is not recommended. Personnaly if I'm below 3000 I will be WOT so a little bit over square. It's really a rule that should not exist because there's no link between the two. Swap the pressure units to kPa or psi and over/under square doesn't make any sense anymore!

You’re right, I was pretty low on MP up at altitude. Always good to learn though.

@MyTimeToFly
@MyTimeToFly Жыл бұрын
I didn’t get one. Even the AOPA website says for overflights there are only 3 requirements: 1. File a flight plan (note Canada overflight, no landing in the remarks section). It is interesting to note that the regulation, 91.707, does not specifically require the flight plan be opened, just filed. 2. Communicate with any US ATC facility prior to border crossing. 3. Obtain a discrete squawk code.
