Lots of fun, thanx.

Not a pilot, but I love your channel. Keep up the great work!

I'm wondering what those continuous CAS messages are during the engine starting? I've noticed that they pop up in every of your videos.

Huge difference between Bend and Redmond Airport. Redmond is the Main Commercial Airport for the Central Oregon area. I Just flew in from LA Last night into Redmond Airport.

Great work and great cause! Working on getting my private pilot license and hoping to do that myself!

It is a busy air space but any other reasons you prefer KRDM over KBDN?

Zapraszam na Alaske, latanie tutaj to nie bajka :)

This airplane is a dream!! I wish I fly one like that one day 💪 nice video man.

Such a badass setup … keep the videos coming

next vlog?

Why do you keep changing the title of your video? Just fly the airplane!

This title is pure clickbait - there was nothing "challenging" at all about this flight. If that were true EVERY IFR flight would be challenging. Why does your registration list you as a TBM700? Ten-mile visibility is VFR, but it was probably less than that if you couldn't see the ground. Note: some 500,000 people live in the Richland area, including me; if you want to be in the middle of nowhere go to Ely, NV where I fly my glider.

So beautiful

Nice wievs : )

Me likey👍👍👍

Nuthin! Is right! And they're not DONUTS, right! Spuddies! Glad we're getting 2 more locations after all these years! My pops-in-law, one of the founders would be truly happy. The Boyz, Ryan and Mark are doing it right!!

All I know for sure after reading all these “helpful” comments is that I wouldn’t post a video of me changing a bicycle tire on their platform. Everybody’s a critic and every other person is an expert. I would think if you don’t like a video just kinda move-on. But that’s just me.

Tri Cities WA, 300,00 plus population of Bend Oregon around 25,000. Middle of nowhere LOL.

No Radio calls on takeoff, very unprofessional.

Great Video. Quick question, is it better to go into Thermal than Palm Springs or was it just closer to where you were heading? Thanks

You could’ve had altitude ‘at your discretion by filing IFR with ‘VFR On Top’ listed in the remarks. Then you always have the IFR clearance if you need the approach or IMC climb/descent if needed. You will also be able to fly below many MEA’s provided you can maintain your own visual terrain obstruction avoidance. Basically, you pick up your clearance and they’ll give you a ‘climb and maintain VFR ON TOP, and report ON TOP, if not On Top by X altitude, maintain X altitude and advise…” So now you’re cleared to climb through any IMC to get it to the VMC.(at or below that X clearance limit). You’re also flying VFR altitudes and can bounce between VFR altitudes at your discretion. Upon reaching your destination descent profile you have TELL ATC you’re in your On Top descent into RDM. At this point if you need to penetrate any IMC layers or need the approach you ask for a hard altitude and /or the approach. So say, RDM was 10K’ OVC, you tell ATC you need the hard altitude for the descent through the IMC. On Top gives the protections of an IFR clearance and the benefits of VFR.

“We’re ident-ing” is a very a student/low time pilot thing to say in normal circumstances. No call required because when you ‘ident’ your radar return blossoms on the controllers screen. That’s the reply.

A plane as exotic and expensive as a TBM 960 should have a lot less pilot workload. It should do most of this automatically, and let the pilot concentrate on flying.

Richland WA....tri cities WA..passed thru many times while in college st WSU....never stopped there... 😂

What is going on with the centre of the glareshield?! 18:35

So what does the plane look like?

Keep looking but missed the "horrible" portion. Enjoyed the ride.

SO you were the one making ALL that noise!! I live about a mile from the Richland Air Port as the Piper flies!

Nice personality. No checklist. It’s just a matter of time.

Would like to see more of the outside not just you, you understand. Or like several airlines will have inside cockpit then extend video with outside view.

👍☮️

Like to here TAS once in awhile

Ha, if that was a horrible flight, I would not like to see you in rough weather!😂. Nice aircraft!

The 960 Avionics is fantastic. That is a sweet A/C..

Thanks for the flight. Very nice TBM!!!! Great bird!!!

Thanks! I enjoyed the smooth ride.

Would have loved to see one short impression of the outside of the aircraft. For the rest, enjoyed your video. Thanks.

Pasco is where I live just across the Columbia River from Richland. Maybe to you the middle of no where but I'll tell this where your going not Oregon but is crap hole of a state that is spreading it's poisonous political ideas beyond it's borders. In fact our state has suffered this influence for several decades when Californian's sold their over priced real estate moved up here,the rest is socialist history. So in conclusion I can't stand anyone from California also with Climate crap zero carbon bs I think We should shut switch off electricity our dams produce . California is reckless in policies and rest of the western state are getting the shaft from bad agreements. My name is Kenneth Boren and thats my opinion with no appaloges .

(non-pilot here) The world of Aviation 'sorely needs' the next generation of navigational aids, as that radio traffic is getting near full it seems. Getting the bigger picture must be tough.

glad you enjoyed watching yourself.....

Olympia has a tower small airport

I fly a PC12NG. I’m missing something. Why not just file IFR, load the approach and eliminate all the drama?

Thanks for taking me along on my first flight of your channel.. it's not in my wife's interest but I got her to watch for a bit telling her years ago and some still that they were all just gauges on the dash and that the electronic displays now make it a lot safer and better to help fly... I also said those traffic controllers these days have tough jobs to do in keeping every one going the right way and keeping all safe thanks again !

The Tri-Cities has turned into a concrete travesty with overpriced nothingness for families😂

Richland is "NOWHERE"? WTH. Did you not look out the window? Tri-Cities is larger than Bend/Sisters/Redmond area. Third largest metro area in the state.

I think your definition of "horrible" needs to be revised. Horrible is flying solid IMC for 2 hrs in a C182 and getting the stuffing kiked out of you!😬

I watched exactly 6 seconds of this video. I was born in Richland, 'Middle of nowhere" I learned to fly at that airport.

Amazing flight thank you for sharing. TBMs are absolutely beautiful machines. Id love to have one myself some day

There are three buttes just west of Redmond that old locals called the three brothers. I could barely see them. Smokey day!
