Arron seems like an old hat to Bahamas flying, even knows the cheeky shortcut of “being unable” to get coverage & getting it a 7000 AGL from Miami. I do plenty of flying in the UK 🇬🇧 & am lucky enough to have at times a new Diamond DA62. A fantastic aircraft. In a climb for example around 14,000ft u burn around 8.7 a side n that’s in a climb. It burns Jet A so much cheaper n the dual engine capacity n the perfect safety & redundancy built in u can climb & cruise FULLY LOADED @ 14kft on 1 engine. It’s all fully push rod controls so u can get amazing feel for the aircraft n the tech inside is amazing, the build quality between say a SR22 n a DA62 is as some customers say “the difference between Chevy & Mercedes”. The DA62 being the Merc n that’s a huge compliment as we all know that SR22 isn’t to shabby. Also u get full FADEC, starting an engine is just like a car. U pi a button n that’s it, no un ups needed. I’m trying to wrangle in a trip across the pond in England to the USA. I think if u had the chance to fly in a DA62 u would fall in love with it n u still have 3 rows of seats 💺. I suggest that anyone looking at an SR22 to checkout the Diamond DA 62 as it doesn’t cost a lot more but is twice t aircraft.

Great video. Keep up the good work. Safe flying

Excellent information! I’d love to fly out in that area. So far my only exposure to that area has been on a cruise ship( a nice way to go imo) but flying is on a different level. Good job and take care, Bill

Enjoyable flying both of you..,very informative!!.

Nothing out of the ordinary on your return flight. I am a complete believer of emergency preparedness especially on over water flights. Your preparation was thorough and complete. Very nice flight and look forward to additional videos in 2018! By the way, I would like to wish you a Happy New Year!

Happy New year captain Baron. And Many blessing

Thank you for sharing I hope that you had a great Christmas and wishing you and your family a safe and prosperous New Year.

Thank you for the great content!

Very nice and informative round trip. Thanks for sharing as always. Happy New Year!

Nice video , lots of info , keep em coming !

Great in-flight discussion about "the details!"

Definitely an interesting video! I always enjoy learning how it works on the other side of the pond, since our customs checks are a bit different in Europe, but remain similar in several aspects 😉 I hope I’ll get the opportunity to fly in the Bahamas one day! Thanks for sharing these pieces of advice with us, and take care 😉 happy new year!

Very informative! Flying with an expert!

Great video. Happy New Year

Heya! I wanted to bookmark the links you guys were talking about around 15:09 but didn't see any in the description. Great video!

I enjoyed the round trip. Wish I could've tagged along for real. Cheers

My compliments. You are the first pilot referring to a checklist.

Great video,thks.

Gotta say, you've introduced me to some of the best fucking royalty free music out there, lol. Kudos to the music director!

this series will bring in some good numbers :)

Awesome videos. Makes me miss flying. Not flown since 1995. Only was checked out in 150, 152, 170, 172 and sundowner.

Great video. After all that expense on avionics, etc., you would have thought that they would at least have re-covered that peeling glareshield ;-) Great shots of coming into and landing at FXE, where I learned to fly - and still do fly there often. Happy New Year!

Awesome video! I need to get down to the Bahamas.

Very nice

hey, Bruce, a little touch up and a littlle paint on the dash

I spend time in Salt Pond. Flying the Skywagon back and forth from Florida. Normally fly over at 11,000 and back at 10. Only a few minutes away from landfall.

That was funny when that pilot politely announced his intentions to take off. It totally brought back a memory of when I was in the early stages of my flight training. After completing our run up my instructor told me to notify the tower that we were ready to take off. Sounded simple enough but this is what I said; Pontiac tower Cessna Nxxxxx (can't remember tail number) is cleared for takeoff runway 27L north bound departure. The controller quickly responded with a severe tongue lashing. She made it very clear exactly the mistake I made and she was very rude about it. I felt horrible and shocked at the same time, lol. My instructor tried to console me by stating that he didn't like the controller either. He said that she's was very well known to bark out commands with a nasty disposition. Some things you'll never forget! 😊

That was a rough landing. I'm surprised your copilot's hat stayed on. lol

Merci vidéo magnifique on peux sortir de la trajectoire du plan de vol

Awesome flight and video, as usual! And, what was that chat with the tower about something on the runway?

That DEKAL arrival is just a bit nuts... if you ignore what's under you, it's simple, but they've got you stooging around out there forty, fifty miles off the coast at 3000... in the Baron it's probably no big but if you're in a Pilatus or a 210 or whatever with just one fan and it decides to go south out there, you're in for a swim... :( Much rather get a lot closer in before getting down that far. Coyote on the runway?! MEEP MEEP!!!

It'd be cool if there were streams on liveatc.net of the trans-Atlantic airspaces... I don't even know how that shit works but I assume satellites?..Otherwise, where are the transmitters for the frequencies?

EPIRB is for boats PLB is for personal use

I have always wanted to be a pilot since I was 5 and went on my first plane. I have not ever been in a prop plane but I want to. I am to young to start lessons now but I will soon and when I found out how to start lessons😬

Can you post the link to the CBP video you mentioned in the video? thanks

We still wating for the video with you stevo and premiere 1 driver ..Very informative video btw

Please ... use a 'dead cat' on your mic when in the wind. Thanks

Mooney's can be a maintenance Hog. Be there soon.

Great flight....how far from Eleuthera were you flying please ?

He roll through hold bars at end?

Are those the Cat Cays they're flying over at 16:19?

Great series. Crustables, huh? Well, if you don't have a galley onboard, I guess it's the best you can do! :p In other news, I FINALLY am working again, and this time, it's in Aerospace. I'll be doing repair work on Commercial avionics. If you think the paperwork to get in and out of the Bahamas was bad, you ought to see the paperwork to test and repair something like a Flight Management Computer for the airlines! But, I think I'm going to have fun!

I noticed that 291BP seemed to of had high performance props (quite different than yours). Would his props make a drastic difference in speed, fuel savings and such? Also, what was the name of those little snacks you fellas seemed to have liked so much?

If i am not mistaken that would be a 1976 Barron 58? Am I reading the instruments correctly? 178 MPH IAS and 151 MPH GS on the LED display. If so, very impressive considering the head wind component. I also notice no ADF receiver, do you folks still use NDB anymore? How were you able to get that STAR on your iPad, do you have access to the internet over the ocean? Excellent video; keep them coming!

Ground said coyote on runway (later said fox), probably chasing the Roadrunner.

I've been watching your videos for a couple weeks and I really enjoy the Baron flights! I have zero stick time on that bird but I would love to fly one at some point. You're going to be a KZfaq Star Pilot like StevoKinevo soon! And when is Lucy going to roll out her own channel? Or how about having Lucy do the pre-flight walk-around while you film? :)

Heard you talking about airlines pilots meals.........depends on the airline, but most of the time, we get to eat business meals ......much better than crew meals.

Silly question maybe ... does your crash bag float by itself?

What a beautiful place to fly! Doubt I'll ever have this opportunity, but one never knows - just a winning lottery ticket away! :D Filed in the memory banks for future reference, just in case. :) Thanks for all the info! I enjoyed the trip! Subbed. :)

You should turn on closed captioning especially around the 9 minute mark. Hilarious! Good flight and great info!

Flew to Stella 2 weeks ago. Customs a non event. Back again in April.

The video is very good however, the wind makes it difficult to hear what you are saying maybe some kind of shield over the mic? Just sayin...

what is that you 2 are eating

are you aloud to talk about ufo you may seen on the air???

crash bag? to include two fifths of vodka. Amsterdam coconuts.

Crappy audio and then add music to make it worse.
