CA is awesome, but Brad talks too much, and doesnt really know as much as he thinks he knows. I'd really appreciate him to STFU 90% of the time - I have a feeling Brad is the man with the money though, he's the business partner for the cannabis equipment (I dont think he's even a pilot). I'm not sure it's legal though because MJ is still illegal sch 1 federally, since your governing body is the 'federal' aviation admin.... id be careful... you probably should ask Doodles to remove the part in his video regarding CA talking about flying for mary-jane.

Nice video! One (odd) question: How many flights actually fly at the 'second altitude after 10 minutes'? All clearances give 2, yet I have never flown it that way in 30 years. Does this part of the clearance need to be changed and simply one initial altitude - assuming all other altitudes will be as directed by ATC? Seems like it would be easier for ATC and pilots?

I have a silly question, why not just fly the plane up to your desired altitude, then set the route and auto pilot ….etc. Basically fly the plane until wanting to set back a little, let it do the flying. Thanks

route is always programed before takeoff, one less thing to worry about in the air. Of course if there are changes they are made in the air. Sometimes we handfly more than we show in the videos to stay current, but its also good to use all the tools. That way when they are also needed we are current with them too.

Is that a G3x or G600? and is the onboard radar the original radar with an upgraded display? I ask because I think I have the same set up radar wise.

As a long time and avid flight simmer, and student pilot, this video had me enthralled 3 minutes into it. This video does a great job at illustrating some of the lesser thought of aspects of being a pilot and working within regulated airspace. I can recreate much of what I see here in the aviation KZfaq world in the simulator: descent rates, angles, procedures, etc. But getting to see the nuances of the more lack luster logistical aspects of aviation is just as valuable if not more than the fancy "check this out" content.

@igclapp
@igclapp Жыл бұрын
In a piston twin, if you lose an engine right after takeoff and before gear retraction you may have no choice but to chop power on the remaining engine and put it back down on the runway because continued takeoff on one engine may not be possible. So you want to keep your hand on the throttles. In a jet you take your hand off the throttles at V1 to remind yourself that there is normally no abort after V1 because the jet has enough power to continue the takeoff with one engine inoperative.

Strictly a "student" question here, but hearing what I thought were winds out of 300 as you were making your descent into Bradford, they gave you 5/23 as your only option. What/why was 5 the better choice for a crosswind landing when 23 would have meant even less crosswind and a little more headwind? Just brushing up from my ground schooling. Thanks!

I don’t mind, as long as it is a newer plane and we’ll equipped. I flew a Cirrus SR20 for the first time into 400 ft ceilings. It was a good solid 5500 ft layer through Atlanta’s airspace. Would not have done it in an old Cessna. A new one, maybe.

I know it's been four years but hopefully, you can tell me about your throttle procedure in this Navajo... You advanced the throttles slightly, reached up, moved an overhead switch, put your hand on the prop control and mixture, then went back to throttle and slowly advanced to full throttle. All total it took twenty-one seconds to reach full throttle. How much runway did you use and is this the recommended procedure for this converted Navajo? Thank you

I remember my first IFR lesson in a C-172. There i was flying above the clouds, sun was out, white clouds beneath me, flyng straight & level and my instructor yelled at me "what the hell are you doing?" I said "flying east, maintaining altitude" again he yelled "What they hell ARE you doing?" I replied "I'm FLYING'" He said "look at your instruments!" I looked down at my instruments and everything appeared normal EXCEPT for my attitude indicator was indicating I was in a 15° right roll angle. At first I was puzzled, then I leveled the plane as per the attitude instrument. He said "you know what you are seeing out the window????" Then it dawned on me. I was seeing an actual cold front coming from the north. Because cold air is heavier, it was pushing the left side of the clouds UP on an angle!! He said "never trust your body, always put your life in the instruments" from then on his words ALWAYS stuck in my head... He was an ex military instructor and pished me and the plane to their limits all the time. He was one of the BEST instructors I ever had. He also said "never take a single engine plane in IFR, your asking for trouble. If you are flying and get into IFR, just be safe and put it down". He enforced the "get-there-itis" thoughts that a lot of pilots die from. He would say "you don't NEED to be anywhere." I obtained my IFR rating and used it lots of times when I was flying and would see the coastal fog rolling in. I knew that most times my destination airport would be IFR in a matter of moments and even though I could see the actual airport, I was too far out to contact them and I knew I was going to be in fog shortly. I knew the area very well, so it was a matter of flying in actual IFR that I need the rating for. One if my lessons I was in a Beech King air flying back from Buffalo. Heading south into the very busy NY area we got into IFR, rain showers, thick clouds etc. Obviously I was on with ATC and was flying great, and then we had to fly out over the ocean, make a turn and descend. We were headed fro KFRG (Farmingdale, NY) as I got to the fix over the ocean, the sky was dark and raining. I got onto the localizer and began my final decent into the airport. We were cleared to land. I could not see ANYTHING in front of me except darkness & rain. I was white knuckled and PRAYING I was not going to slam into am apartment building or something. I kept coming down as the instruments were indicating. Setting up for landing, flaps, props, gear, etc) just a few feet above minimums I saw the the approach lights!! We broke out of the clouds ans the runway was right in front of me! We landed perfectly. Seeing your runway after those conditions we very welcome indeed! Very rewarding
