Video

Thanks for the video. Sorry I'm half a decade late, seeing this. LOL :)

Can you explain how to set up the cameras. Am about do my cross-country flight for my road to PPL

pretty sure my instructor would tell me to “check it myself”😂

That flight instructor was good. You should listen moore.

I’m a month before my checkride and it feels good to see you go thru the same things I’m feeling and the areas that I need to improve just like you were doing. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for the video. Does registration still expire every 3 years or is it 84 calendar months nowadays?

Just starting my night rating, that looks very very scary.... 😢

Great vid! Thanks for sharing your trim tips!

Excellent. Thank you.

You still flying man? I miss the regular uploads. Hope you’re doing well.

Lol the last 3 of my Cherokee is 152 😂

Thanks for the content. Working on finishing up ppl over at kcgi.

Never flew an airoplane but I guess at 2.25 you meant "right aileron up"?

Can you explain (or do a video) on how you gave your video/audio set up in/on the plane ?…or send a link to who you learned from ?..🤓 Thx

I'm getting back into flying after almost a decade and procedurally I would have thought you'd have told tower you would be touch and go with closed traffic before you executed. Maybe even told him you were going to tune the ILS to check your instruments. Not criticizing, just curious. Those landings look great!

I am by NO means a pro at this. I just recently acquired the Microsoft Flight Simulator and I’m taking baby steps with the training modules. Here’s a question: why did you express your speed in miles per hour? I thought air speed was measured in knots.

This is so cool. Thanks for sharing. I’m in my first month of class and just flew for the first time on Wednesday. It was so insanely intense. I had a death grip for the first 20 minutes and flew for a total of two hours. Instructor claims I did two take offs and one landing (of course with complete voice instruction, and zero radio work on my end) but it’s all a blur. Looking forward for my second time next week!

Would love to say hello. I’m flying in but not until Friday evening after the air show. Will definitely be at the Opposing Bases live recording on Saturday.

Will you share your learnings regarding installing the GFC 500 AP in the 235?

Good landing excepting why your VASI not lit up correctly?

90 degrees and humid with a belly full of root beer floats. I wish you the very best with that.

Good stuff! I am a student pilot with about 40 hours and have been learning to use pitch for airspeed and power for altitude and rate of descent on my approaches. I started wondering if pilots use trim on approach and landing thinking that it might help me stabilize my approaches. So, I went looking and found your video. I’m going to try it on my next solo flight. I guess one thing to consider is that if you have to go around you have to be mindful of how much nose-up trim you have in and keep in some forward pressure. Thx for the video!

Love these videos. You are very real, no BS - most appreciated!

My compass card is like 15 degrees off for going west. I have to steer 285.

I have thin erasable highlighter that works great for my mechanical E6b

What about Top of Climb and top of Descent

I like the fact that you use pencil first then use the highlighter. I had a erasable highlighter.

I have the same headset. Really good headset and they are smaller so they fit my head better.

Maybe it was Monday. Monday landings.

She does not want to land.

I am a student pilot and S turns are a bit hard for me. I all them patient turns.

I think you daughter is going to be a good pilot. I think she should go for her private pilot. Not sure how old she is.

I need to get that midlife pilot tie-shirt. I am a 58 year old student pilot.

While I'm really glad so many people find inspiration to fly I stumbled upon this learning to play a flight sim videogame. This is really useful stuff for my sparetime activity, and I'm glad people like you keep flying one of the safest and most enjoyable means of transportation.

3:40 "so this is fun👏" I can't even tune VORs in my plane. wish I could, honestly. Have you put the JPI data on Savvy?

Probably a dumb question but, why use MPH vs KTS?

I've found that the best worst way to avoid a bird is to duck down. "blah blah blah" heh

Last year was the “Nobody Cares” fly in. I think the next one needs to be the “blah blah blah” fly in!

Hi Chris. Hope all is well. You handled it perfectly. Had there been a prop strike and you elected to go-around, possibly a bigger problem could’ve ensued. Either way, you and the bird came out unscathed. It’s a win win! Nice flying!

Thanks for the great videos. Are the speeds that you are calling out MPH or KNOTS?

Great video, Chris. You seemed a little bit shook up after that near miss. Nice job keeping your composure. Birds and planes don't mix well. :)

Great to hear you call out what you do. Nice review for our own learning experiences. Great color of the plane! Regarding avoiding birds, I once heard from an instructor that if within maneuvering speed, always pull up, as birds if surprised will dive. That is of course when you are p flying, on landing that might not apply. Thank you for sharing!

Where you were, there wasnt anything really you could have done. Even with application of full power a go around wasn't possible with that proximity. Great effort not panicking and flying the airplane.

Long time podcast listener. Are you guys going to Osh kosh?

OK, I've watched the bird in super slow-mo like 6 times, and I'm still not exactly sure what the right call is. So don't be too hard on yourself. To the best I can tell, the most reasonable safe move probably would be a go-around call just over the piano keys. It's not entirely clear it's necessary then, but you still have some height to execute it out of range. A BIG lesson learned for me watching this: Once it's CLEAR a go-around is needed, it's too late! I am trying to be quicker on the go-around call, and seeing this experience helps move me in that direction. Thank you!

You have good discipline calling out each checklist item. Some of us 😉don't do that as much as we should. Nice work. I enjoy your videos.

Great video! Thx so much for sharing. I do need to practice impromptu go-arounds just so I can get the feel of full power after I've committed to flaring. Yea, I prob would have done the same to avoid that bird. What a tricky situation! That was a fairly big bird. Question: What would have happened if the bird struck your prop; windshield?

What do you think? Options when I saw the bird were to go around (which I considered, but didn't want to hit it at full power trying to climb out and have him hit my prop or windscreen), or to avoid him. Probably could have added a little power to soften the touchdown and add a little margin of speed. What would you have done in that situation?

I love that you are flying with you daughter. It's great to inspire our kids. I totally enjoyed it. Good job on the go-around. That looked like a brutal crosswind. Thank you for sharing.

Hate that I missed but once again GREAT content!
