Two NERVOUS “Millennial” Friends Doing the NYC Skyline Tour in a Cirrus SR22. KFRG - KHVN

Eliza and Henna asked me to take them flying in my Cirrus SR22 G6. Since both of them are nervous fliers, I thought the best way to calm their nerves is to fly the New York City Skyline tour followed by lunch at the world famous Frank Pepe's for its legendary white clam pizza. I've included almost all of the ATC audios from take off most of the Hudson River VFR Corridor (SFRA).
So please join us on our flight from KFRG to KHVN for a breathtaking NY Skyline Tour (aka Hudson River SFRA Corridor).

Great video!!! Reminded me about a flight that I took with two female friends. One of them was living in Australia at the time and then when she got in the plane, instead of sitting in the copilot seat, she climbed over the center consul and sat in the pilot seat. She thought it was like cars in Australia where you drive on the right side 😂😂😂

@SlowAsianDriver Жыл бұрын

Lol tell me about it. The airspace is pretty busy: before we got there we had to duck under JFK’s Bravo at 400’ over water. The actual self reporting Hudson River SFRA is surface to 1,299 ft. Given all the helicopters and other traffic I always prefer a handoff and in contact with ATC. At 1,500’ it’s still lower than the Freedom tower and we have a spectacular view. ✌️

Another great vid. Did you have some flap extended northbound up the Hudson? Also, I fly the Skyline Route much closer to the shoreline (per the TAC chart) vs. over the middle of the river. If an opposite direction guy was doing the same thing as you…plus a lot of the helicopters perform 180s near the GWB, which could get create a collision hazard as they cross in front of you.

@SlowAsianDriver Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the advice. ✌️. Yes I did extend 50% flaps.

@BenalRida Жыл бұрын

Hello SlowAsianDriver, just stumbled upon your videos after getting back in the MS Flight Sim 2020 and getting interested in GA aviation again. Tried to make my PPL about 15 years ago in Germany, never worked out, because of personal problems, moved to Spain, now had a trial flight with one of the flying school here in the area and everything felt very familiar. I guess it's like riding a bike :) Anyways, I really enjoy your videos and your professionalism. May I ask what is a "Skyline Tour", I mean I can imagine, but is that a set route you can take in the NY area or is it ppl can book officially? Not sure. If ever come to NY (changes are slim :)), I would definitely want to fly with you, too. If you ever come to Spain, please let me know. Would be great to meet up.

@SlowAsianDriver Жыл бұрын

Hey pal! Thanks for the support. :) "Skyline Tour" is a generic term for VFR flying to see the NY City Skyline. There are specific rules & reporting points published in the Sectional Chart. It's very popular amongst the pilots and a great way to show visiting friends of NYC from a different angle. What part of Spain do you live? We were just in Madrid & Marbella a few month ago...would've been nice to meet up. Feel free to reachout on IG (same name). Cheers!
