- čas přidán 27. 08. 2024
- Testing my Oxygen system at eight thousand feet and flying a practise ILS in the Cirrus SR22. Lots of flying in today's vlog - Air Traffic Control vector me around Avalon's ILS, flying the approach, landing at Warrnambool Airport to plug in the Oxygen system and the flight home testing my blood oxygen saturation levels. I'm flying VH-EYZ, a Cirrus SR22 from Moorabbin Airport to Avalon Airport, then Warrnambool Airport before returning home to Melbourne.

Many radio calls and procedures have been omitted. If you have any questions about anything you see or hear, please speak to a Certified Flying Instructor first.
Its funny when you hold your hand up to warn your CZcams audience of imminent ATC readback haha
I know I'm pretty randomly asking but do anybody know of a good site to watch newly released series online ?
#1: You are going to need to apologize to Milkshake for not bringing him along. #2: You may want to do some base level checks of your O2 saturation on the ground to see where you usually are at. This will give you an idea of your normal operating zone.
I think Milkshake is a her.
@@gordanmilne7034 Haha. Of course. :) Or she'd need a new name.
Does she bring all the boys to the yard though? :-)
It's so easy to tell how much better you're getting at talking to ATC and generally multi tasking with the flying, talking and speaking with ATC. It's great to see your progress as a pilot.
That means a lot, thanks John. Got to keep practising for bigger trips in the future.
Hi Stefan,
Got to love the boy’s toy. Great presentation of instrument flying. Regrettably, I argue with my GPS, who( female voice) simply does not know her way around Melbourne. Enjoy and thanks for sharing flying high!
A nice long video, just what I need!!
9:52 you found milkshakes family, how mooving...
Haha, pun game is strong 🐄
Great fun packed ep Stef.
Stefan I really liked your part on the ILS vectoring explanation reckon one of the simplest explanation I've seen for new pilots learning IFR it was brilliant. Maybe more on this topic in future and I know your not an instructor but well presented demonstrations will certainly be appreciated by newbies.
One of your best videos yet Stefan. Loved the new camera position and please give s more shots of your instruments as I love to understand what you are doing
Great vid Stef, love the techie avionics bit. More please. 😉
Your videos should have so much attention. The film style, the detail, the explanation are just amazing. I don’t understand why you don’t have at least 100k subs. I’m serious!! I love your videos!!
Cheers Owen, I really enjoy making these videos so it's always great to hear feedback like this. Glad you're enjoying them.
Very interesting video Stef and a good collection of comments which made me smile. You are building a strong CZcams Channel community. Well done you!
SO CLOSE TO 50K!!!!!
I know right? What a humbling experience.
“...you are now free to move about the cabin...” 😂
#milkshakemia 😳
I think you will have a heart beat of 86 beats per minute.
Fantastic, loving your channel from the U.S.
Hey Buck, thanks for watching over in the US. Cheers, stef
Milkshake is off filming for the movie?! Great video Stef - appreciate the look into the IFR/ILS operations.
Smart idea
Great video Stef.I reckon given you are reasonably experienced in IFR flying & a chilled bloke generally your heart rate will not change that much.Say around 78 bpm.Good that the new system works giving you that confidence if needed.
Look forward to your next adventure.
Interesting how the world is a small old place. The first ATCO vectoring you on Melbourne Departure is a guy called Pat who I used to work with in the UK =]
Small world indeed, that’s funny thanks for sharing.
I think it will stay much the same, mine goes up watching every video as I am so jealous, you have way too much fun!
Really enjoyed the informative video today, interesting to see these things
Cheers Will, I don't normally include all of that side, thought it would be of interest so that's good to hear. Cheers.
Stefam,
Very nice landings lately right on the line and so gentle:)
Cheers,
Rik
"I'm not way up high thinking, 'Why am I feeling sleepy?'" -- Actually, if you get hypoxic, you'll feel quite fine and not even realize that your functional capacity is greatly diminished. That's what makes hypoxia so dangerous.
That's for some people, others like me, feel sick, like motion sickness.
I've been in the altitude chamber up to 40,000 feet (that was painful), and have flown a small plane up to 15,000 feet... anything above 10,000 feet I feel like throwing up. I've been a Flight Engineer on C-141s, and had the pressurization fail to engage. Before 10,000 feet I was telling the rest of the crew to get on oxygen. Finally at 14,000 feet, I was able to get it to work. We were leaving Egypt and didn't want to go back.
In the altitude chamber, I did see a few guys feel euphoric, like you mentioned, but I felt sick to my stomach.
@@deadstick8624 Yeah, that's a fair comment. With individuals experiencing it differently, it's a great idea to experience at least mild hypoxia in a controlled environment so one can recognize the onset and take immediate action to rectify the problem.
@@TraneFrancks Yes, exactly, and that's what the altitude chamber was all about... to get to know what your hypoxia symptoms are.
Hey Stefan - recent sub here, from South Wales in the UK. 1stly... apologies about the other day... was a close one, but win some lose some eh, was a great game nonetheless. Have to say, I love your videos, not a flyer myself, just really interested in flight etc and especially loved the avionics explanation at the start of this one and would love to see more of this topic covered if you get a chance. Keep up the great work, your approach to videos is spot on, kudos - and greetings from Wales.
Hello, welcome to the channel and thanks for watching the videos in South Wales. I remember a fun night out in Cardiff in my University days in the UK, good times... Thanks for the feedback as well, glad you're enjoying the videos, cheers, stef
Stefan Drury wowza Stefan, my daughter is currently in Cardiff uni, small world we live in eh? And you’re welcome, you have a great channel with awesome content. 👍
Great video Stef! Proving just how awesome GA can actually be. Love how informative and well presented the videos are at the moment- Thankyou!
Would be interesting to see the Oxy level after cruise for a while at 10,000 as well.
😱😳😅 busted, yes was watching the track lol, good video as always mate, 👍
Hey Stef, that oxygen really is a breath of fresh air, haha. Really like how you show what the instruments are doing as you fly, more instruction like this would be great. Yes i know these videos are NOT for instructional purposes. Thanks mate.
Heya Stef,
Another awesome video, my friend! Congrats on the O2 :-)
The play on words
Good informative video, keep it up. Thanks Stefan. 😃
Good job! O2 opens up more options for you, especially heading east when the easterly winds aloft get stronger as you go higher.
Can you live stream a flight in EYZ?
Wonder if there'd be technical issues with that. Australia's mobile phone service is not great once you get outside populated areas.
In addition, cell signals are usually very unreliable above 1,000-2,000 feet. I've watched a few other aviation CZcamsrs streams departures and then lose connection as soon as they clear a few thousand feet. It would be perfectly possible with an Iridium antenna, but I somewhat doubt Stefan is going to try and install an internet satcom on a plane that small.
Glenn Watson no that’s for sure!
@@MidnightWyvern I've been able to get signal at 37,000ft and above flying ASP-MEL earlier this year. Yes it didn't work in all places but hey it did something at least ;D As to why was I using my phone without flight mode on well it doesn't actually serve much real purpose these days except for stopping pax from trying to film an evacuation for social media during an accident when they should instead just be focusing on getting off the aircraft.
@@nankervisj Yeah, you have to turn Airplane Mode off to get the WiFi on flights, anyway.
As always great video Stef! Think the new camera angle works really well. What has happened to Milkshake!!??
I was an instructor at the Royal Victorian Aero Club in Moorabbin '89-'92. Watching your vids brings it all back. :)
... Although the only interaction I had with Oxy equipment was by reading AVWEB articles - they spoke about using pulse oxymeters (new gear back then) to monitor the system's performance. They also spoke about buying cheap oxy from oxy-acetelene suppliers (as it was all the same gas, cheaper than medical oxy and much cheaper than aviation oxy). Where do you get your oxy supply from? Have you ever done a high alt chamber ride?
Kuul. I like the experience and sharing. I did heaps of studies in the past flying with O2, pulse oxymiters and capnograph monitors Co2 whilst flying in Airforce aircraft.
I reckon around 120 BPM Stef!
Very good vídeos keep going man
Thanks for watching.
Next you should show us how your NA SR22 performs at altitude without a Turbo, then jump back into one with Turbo and explain the differences and how it affect the Critical Altitude :) ... just for us AGK nerds
Sounds like we need another colab with me and Niko...
@@StefanDrury sounds good to me ;) . i love seeing some of the technical stuff, without venturing too far into being instructional of course :) . keep up the great work mate
Love it, really want learn to fly now
It still baffles me why we have to use a set of $2 aluminium chocks to stop a 1/2M$ aircraft when you consider the handbrake design that comes with a 1/2M sports car. I trust Milkshake is very busy working in this issue and that’s why couldn’t come along today.
Really enjoy your vids. Steve in Auckland
Bogies should not really be a problem unless you have a cold. You would not want to share with anyone else. I don't know why they go so far up the nose, they only need to sit on the nostrils. You are bound to get better ones, but at least no one else will want to use them lol.
These clouds almost look as good as the ones in the latest flight simulator.
Yes I did watch the latest video! Why wouldn't I!
What, no toilet break on the transit 😮 wow.
Prop looks nice now on the wing cam. But now you have rolling shutter on the cam looking out the cockpit!?! Thought you bought an extra ND to enhance our viewing pleasure 😂
Forgot to put it on on the way to Warrnambool. You’ll notice it’s better on the way home. Long day!
woo, VDA one of the better moles STAA had.
He Stefan, love watching the videos, great content, editing and presentation. I’m not a pilot but would love to learn to fly. Would like to watch a video on how you learnt ATC calls and some explanation as to what some of it means.
Keep up the great content.
Thank you, that’s not a bad idea for a video actually, like a “beginners guide to ATC radio calls”. Let me add it to the list.
Hi Stef. Could you please finish the sentence at 13:17 ? Thanks.
I too want to hear that sentence... Was that 5000 ft at night ??
I SAW YOU ON THE FLIGHT RADAR omg 😁😁😁
Great vid stef but.... where’s milkshake 😲😲😲
Had the day off, presenting at a dairy conference in Sydney
Stefan,
I don't know the ceiling for your aircraft, but I would guess the extra altitutde will give you a smoother flight and more access to favorable weather and winds.
Is that right?
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Yep that's right. Service ceiling is 17,500 feet, so this system means I can potentially climb over weather or out of higher cloud, and seek out more favourable winds for longer cruises. It gives me more options to make the flight safer and more efficient.
Stefan Drury you should do a ground test of you O2 Saturation before flying so you have a better idea of what you should be at
Wait what happened to Milkshake?
Hi Stefan. Cool video !!!
At around 13.15 did you say that there is a recommendation for having oxygen at 5000 ft or above at night time ?!? Or did I miss something ?
Here in Europe (Denmark) we talk about the "10.000 ft limit", where you occasionally can climb to 13.000 ft for max 30 minutes at a time without Oxygen, if you return to 10.000 or below after that.
Actually you will get grey out or tunnel vision the effect is like looking through a kaleidoscope and you won’t be able to focus on anything. Remember how to operate your auto pilot by feel if you can to initiate a descent. Make sure your hoses aren’t kinked or can kink easily. I used to fly 5 hour legs on oxygen trying to eat or drink is very difficult. Didn’t have your fancy monitors either. Have your porridge and pot of tea before you go.
Did co-pilot milkshake call in fatigued? lol.... As for your HR when flying an approach in minima, I will guess 94 BPM
Are you getting a oxygen tube for milkshake?
Take her up to FL170 next time Stef.👍
I wonder if EYZ would get up there. The published service ceiling is FL175, I'm confident I could make FL120 / FL130 but will be interesting to see how she performs above that. Only one way to find out...
Absolutely. It's always fun to flirt with the limits of the performance envelope. Really like your videos and looking forward to the next ones.👍
I love your flights your Vlogs are really fun but I have one question for you my friend wouldn't you love to come ride with a fellow CZcamsr like myself and come see what I like to do as much as I love to fly with you?
I look forward to your videos because they're refreshing and you teach me a lot when it comes down to presentation music quality and furthermore Authentication you have an authentic feel that makes me feel like I'm right next to you on the flight deck and that I appreciate very much
thanks for these stef, always interesting watching your vids.. howd the ND filter on the external camera go? ps: did enjoy the avionics stuff as well
HI Stephen, nice video. Wanted to know how you connected the boom oxygen cannular to your Bose headset.
It’s just attached with superglue. There was a small adhesive patch that came with it but on hot days the glue melted and it kept falling off. So we use the strongest adhesive glue we can find and stick it permanently to the headset.
No Milkshake No Like !! (joke) Hey Stef if you need to use oxygen at 10 or above what happens to any passengers on board ? If you were flying me to the Bool for the races next year and we needed to head above 10 thousand do I just go to sleep until you descend ? ( I am really asking this stupid question on behalf of Milkshake!!! ) Love this video and am so glad all your new "toys" are working as you would have hoped. Strapping the bottle onto the seat in the previous video reminded me of some friends with a new baby trying to work out how to fit the child seats into the car !! Thanks mate!!
Noticed your prop wasn't as "not there" as you wanted it to be based on your last video. Have you considered getting a variable neutral density filter for the action cam? I'll be purchasing one for my iphone which will help for the same reasons you were adding it to the camera, too.
Hey Stef feel free to come up to Mildura to practice some landings 👌🏻
Actually I almost made it up to Mildura last week, last minute change meant I didn't end up there. But it's on the list, there's a cafe there right?
@@StefanDrury There sure is a cafe, if you ever come up would love to say hi, I have taken alot of photos and would love to get some of EYZ while your here. I have a fb page ATE media where I post all my photos or instagram Andrewesno89
112bpm heart rate for shooting an ILS approach in IMC to minimums! Great video, buy why no Milkshake??
Quick question. Does the iPad have a SIM card or do you hot spot from your phone?
It has a sim, it’s the wifi + cell version.
Using Supplemental oxygen, how high can you fly and for how long?
Hi Stefan, you fly a technologically advanced aircraft like Niko and Stevo do also so why do you still use Avplan or Foreflight? Cant you use the aircraft systems instead?
Good question - I use AvPlan for the flight planning and submitting the plan to ATC prior to the flight. I can’t do that through the aircraft avionics. Then in flight I use it as an electronic version of my map and approach plate data. Yes I can load that on the MFD screen (like you see Steveo/Niko do), but my personal preference is to view that data separately on an iPad. That’s mainly because my Cirrus uses an older (Avidyne) system and I find navigating charts and maps a lot slower than the newer Cirrus Perspective system. So AvPlan on the iPad is the best tool for the job in my case.
I think 84 BPM since you are a runner. Milkshake will be around 0. lol
That's because Milkshake is so chill right?
👍
Nice video...as always 😀 we’re you still planning a follow up on using a stylus? Looks like you’ve gone back to paper?
Well spotted :) A follow up video on "ipad vs paper" is coming...
I suspect you might want to get some sort of cleaning products after each flight for your boom.
This is a very important comment, luckily there is a whole section on "cleaning" in the instruction booklet.
you should do a night flight
Why wasn't there a Milkshake?
You should rather write: Getting high on oxygen😂
Hey I'm getting ready for flight School I'm wondering is there a video I can see. I have a flight simulator at home and I wonder if you can give me some helpfull stuff. Thanks
Getting high on oxygen
POOR Milkshake
You might bump in to Niko up high :)
I could definitely compete up to around FL150 I reckon, then his turbo kicks in and would leave me behind!
@@StefanDrury Sounds like your next Cirrus upgrade is in mind :)
Cool vid hope to make my content as good as yours one day
Hey mate, what tips do you do with the cirrus to kiss the tarmac
Thanks Cary, the one thing that helped improve my landings was getting really precise with my speeds. A good landing starts with a good approach, so I try and get my base and final speeds bang on and set up a stabilised approach from at least 500' AGL. Once that's done, I try and roundout with a smooth power reduction (not a fast pull on the throttle) and then try NOT to land. Basically, nail the speeds and don't let the plane touch the runway are two big things in my head when landing.
Thanks mate ,great help I will try this in a fortnight. I originally started with warrior and then Cessna 182 and now in the Cirrus but struggling getting it smooth. Generally what speed on final are u targeting ?
Check the POH and have a chat with your instructor. I don't want to give out specifics here mate, I don't know your aircraft so I can't comment. But I follow the speeds in the POH and make sure I hit them as close as possible before continuing with the landing. Thanks, stef
Has Milkshake been converted to freezer-based protein stores...?
5000 West 8000 East ??
Yeah, airspace wasn't busy and you can request nonstandard levels. If required due other traffic, I would have changed levels, but those worked for me on this particular flight.
Why do you usually tend to overshoot the keys ? I'm not a pilot, just wondering
I would say because most runways he is using are over 1500m long. Why taxi when you can fly.
@@racko651 doesn't a skilled pilot always hit the keys?
@@Nomadicpilot keys are too short mate.
@@racko651 I've just been told to always hit the keys, more space to brake, like a proper pilot, only weekend warriors overshoot the keys
@@Nomadicpilot haha you for real.
If you take oxygen over your nose and you speak (With your mouth) it doesn't work.
Why do you refer to yourself in the plural?
It's often used in aviation to refer to the collective of an aircraft and occupant(s) as "we" even if there's one soul on board. Just how I've always done it and I know some others are the same.
When reading back squawk you just need to say the four digits. When left warrnambool you said 'squawk number' it should have been just number
Dude it doesn't matter. If your taxi call is anything other than "San Francisco Ground, N1234, Signature, Alpha, taxi" you have no right to complain.
No he said squaking 4253.
Apologies for my ignorance, but do all aircraft with jet engines get supplied with oxygen from the compressed air or bleed air? Like the Cirrus Vision SF50 I saw can go to 28,000 feet
Negative Narwhals that system is installed on pressurised aircraft, for example airliners and private jets. Most general aviation aircraft aren’t pressurised
Normally engine bleed air for jet airlines or business jets.
However the B787 is equipped with a new electric system which coupled with the all composite design means that they can hold the cabin altitude lower at around 4000 feet versus the older aircraft at 5-8000 feet narwhals
Amazed by your new oxigen toy but.....WHERE IS MILKSHAKE?? 🙄
Apparently she was hanging with her family in Warrnambool!
Great fun packed ep Stef.
