Join me and my good friend @AlexChoi1 on another flight in the Piaggio! Today we are flying up to Scappoose, Oregon to pick up the owner. The forecast was calling for rain, low visibility, and ice at our planned time of arrival, so we talk about some of the decisions I made to complete this flight safely.
Check out my previous Piaggio flight vlog where we dive deep into the systems of this incredible airplane.

As a former pilot and flight instructor, I have to say that you do a great job. You are very smooth and professional and boy, I wish I could fly that plane some time. What a superb piece of engineering. Thanks for sharing your passion.

Owen, your concise communications with ATC is very admirable. As I alluded to previously the Piaggio 180 used to fly over my house years ago & I could hear it approaching from miles away. The 180 was maligned due to its very distinctive Wail but I really liked to watch it fly by. There was one occasion when the pilot made a somewhat low(1500 ft) 270 degree turn over my house & I did not have my Canon EOS 50D handy as the sun angle was superb to make the fuselage & spinning props glow; I still can visualize that 180 overhead like it was yesterday; that would have made an epic print that rivaled my Osprey bird with wings outstretched soaring overhead at 75 feet a once in a lifetime capture. The charter company is now flying the Piaggio Evo on routes that are either West or East of my house location in Seminole FL but I can still hear the Evo approaching with its muted Wail. What an awesome mechanical bird she is!!!

Another great video. That’s a beautiful part of Oregon. Nice job with the single pilot IFR workload. My biggest takeaway from the video was when you were talking about the weather and your decision making process as far as moving the takeoff time or sometimes even canceling. To me that’s huge…safety. Weather will always be the nemesis and I thought it was great for us to see someone at your level of experience explain how you come up with a go/no go decision based on accurate and real time weather information. Nicely done sir.

The Piaggio is certainly a unique looking aircraft. Ah flying out of KSJC, done that a few times...way back before Owen was born. Learned how to fly over at KRHV in 1971-72. Did my commercial training at KSEE while stationed at NAS Miramar. Couldn't have even imagined a plane like the Piaggio or today's avionics back then. Thanks for taking us along on today's flight.

So glad you like where we live. I fled California in 1972 and never looked back. On the other hand, I logged over 17 inches of rain in the first six days of December. Loved every drop.

I was surprised to hear you say it's banned at some airports because of the noise it makes, as if the other jets at those airports don't scream, roar, and make deafening noise from the outside. I've seen a couple fly-along videos with the Piaggio P180 and in every one of them she's just as smooth as butter. Thanks for taking us along. Oregon is beautiful. Hope to make it out there someday myself.

@@guguigugu that's what noisier means, more sound energy in a frequency range that humans are sensitive to... that being said, i came looking for this aircraft as i've heard a different and louder sound a few times and went outside to check what's what and noticed the aircraft's shape and engine placement. my house is a few miles from a local airport right under the departure path and some jets are truly quiet. i suspect the amount of throttle at takeoff also plays a role in noise levels, but i know nothing about airplanes and flying

LOVED the scent of their interiors ... a pity that a platform capable of a ground speed of 463 mph wasn't more impressive in the BizJet set ... thanks for the hop. BTW, retired Engineer for LM Aero living in the Cote d'Azur ... just down the road from Piaggio.
