Thanks for the video! I'm a controller and ATC instructor at SMO Tower. I show this video to trainees to help them understand what a competent pilot is doing when they are trying to copy such a clearance. The iPad visual is perfect. This particular clearance really is a mouthful, plus there's nothing published to give pilots a heads-up beforehand. Thankfully, the procedure has since been simplified slightly to eliminate the LAX radial (now the turn is at 1000').

That was the most convoluted departure routing ever. I get that they were trying to pass you midfield over LAX, but what a way to get there! I used to live in SoCal, so I'm familiar with the airspace. Kudos for navigating with no hiccups!

Ok....that was a ok great video.....ok. love the ok Malibu. You're ok living the dream ok for many people ok. I ok have been watching ok all of your ok videos and find them fascinating ok.

that's got to be the nicest old malibu on the planet. gorgeous.

This was fun! I grew up next to KSMO, almost the last house in the westbound landing pattern. My father worked at Douglas, first on DC-3 design, later on missiles. I used to ride my bike down the GA flight like on Saturday mornings and ask, “Hey mister, are you going to do touch and goes?” I’d usually get one or two rides on a Saturday. Imagine that today! Haven’t seen KSMO from the air in years. Boy, departures have become complicated! Thanks for this.

This was such an interesting video for me as an instrument student! Really interesting to hear the real-world interactions with the LA controllers. I think I may fly this in the sim just to work through all the interesting bits. I've flown into Burbank with my instructor and it was definitely very busy! Thanks!

Love it. Very well done again. Thanks for the angel flights as well.

Great video, thanks for posting the details of the departure.

Another fine video Malibu Flyer. Thank you for posting.

Great video! That was a mouthful of a clearance.

Brought back lots of great memories. I got my instrument ticket at KSMO and know the outbound procedure to the South all too well! Thanks for sharing, great video.

Really appreciated you taking us with you on this departure.

Love the new instruments and panel work. I know it cost a LOT but it looks fantastic and seems to work great for you.

nice job thanks for your help people thanks very much

That LAX315 radial turn is what they basically always do when going south or east. It's at the shoreline. I programmed a user waypoint into the 650 that matches up KSMO212 and LAX315

Kory I love your effects!! I have some catching up to do!! But then again I posted mine at 6 am, you're a night-owl-HA!

What a beautiful panel. Used to fly a 84 Malibu and would have loved a panel like that. Do you still use the king autopilot or a Garmin. It certainly is a wonderful performer.

Thanks Malibu Flyer

We wanted to go to SoCal on our trip west last month, but the weather just wasn't good enough to justify it. Rain rain rain!

cool video.... what kind of fuel burn do you average?

I am new to your channel. And have begun to pray for you and your family that you are blessed in all that you do. I hope someday to get my pilots license. I would like to Owen a Piper M350. It would be nice to connect someday.

I have a facebook page “Malibu, Mirage, ....and Jetprop Pilots”. I’d like to repost some of your flights if I may. Check it out. Thanks. Clint
