- Ride along for my BFR. Haven't done much of this type flying since buying the plane. First time doing stalls, manual gear extension and shutting down an engine! I haven't spent much time at uncontrolled fields recently and with the haze/snow it was hard to see the concrete runway and white planes. Of course when I have an instructor on board I make some of my worst landings. :)

Got my multi rating in a 310 back in 1983 and started my flying career, now flying a Global 6000. The 310 is a beautiful airplane and it flies as good as it looks.
Between your and baron pilot’s CZcams channel, I have decided to get my multi add on for my instrument/commercial. Thanks dude! Great videos!
Nicely done. It’s kinda nice to be put through the paces once in a while. I learned quite a bit more about twin engine and landing gear by watching this. Congrats!
Thank you Stephen! I was glad to have him do my BFR. It was cool to actually shut down an engine and to do the manual gear extension. Now if I have to do that for real, it will be easier understanding how easy it is. :)
Great BFR Sir . There is a lot going on with flying and Keeping eyes outside and inside during any type of flying but in a Twin it's more to do and when I did my commercial check ride in the Piper Arrow I had to demonstrate emergency landing gear system failure and my hands was full staying ahead and at the end of a check ride or a BFR when the engine is shutdown you get the best words you love to hear is great job and congratulations you passed!!! Congratulations on your BFR and a great Instructor that was absolutely amazing
Thank you Bernard! You are correct about a lot going on in a twin. Lots of things to consider and a lot of them go much faster than normal GA planes. It is always great to pass a check ride or BFR and in this case, beyond just checking the box, the MEI I flew with really knows 310's. He was great!
That examiner worked you!! Beautiful aircraft and outstanding hanger. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Thanks for the ride-along! Very smooth on the controls and engine shut-down.
Thank you....glad you enjoyed it!!
I just started my mulit-engine commercial training last week. Excited to start. Great video and great radio work.
Thanks for watching! Good luck in your multi training. They are fun birds to fly.
@@310Pilot how hard is it to get you're multi training? How many more hours is it after you have you're singles licence?
It's remarkable how hard it is to see the runway in those conditions and as far as the landings go, I see nothing wrong with them. Any landing you can walk away from in my opinion is a good one. Great job
Thanks! Some planes are easy to squeak on every time ( C172 for me) and some (like the 310/Saratoga) are much harder to get that perfect feeling on landing. I always try though :)
He seemed like a very fair examiner. Nice job on the BFR and thanks for taking us along !
He was very fair. I had fun flying with him. Not often you get to shut one down for real and crank the gear. Thanks for watching Alan!
EXCELLENT JOB , Sky King was riding on your shoulder for sure!!
Thank you!!
You are Welcome , Where i live in Apple Valley , Ca. I can stand on the top of my pool slide and look to the left and see where the Song Bird took off from the old Apple Valley Air Port .. and I can almost see the Flying Crown Ranch, ( Yes its still there) the facade is totally different and the Song Bird no longer sits out front but the chimney is still from the original house. As a matter of fact I was at a Garage Sale at the Crown the other day.. Didn't buy anything just rubbernecking.. Keep up the good work Later A J
Loved our 310's had a 1955 for 12 years and a 1969P for 15. Simply the best, thanks for sharing 😎👍👍👍👍
Thank you for watching. I agree, 310's are amazingly capable and fun to fly planes. I am just getting into filming my flights and will get a couple more cameras for different views. More videos to come. Subscribe if you want to see more. Glad you were able to enjoy them for 27 years!
Love it..."wasn't that fun?" 54 cranks, I'm digging the mooney manual gear extension now!
Ha ha... At least now I know how it works if I ever need it. :)
Great video. Just found your page a week or two ago and have really been enjoying your flights. I'm in the western suburbs and fly out of DPA, so I also enjoy the familiar sights. In fact - also met Elmer just about 2 weeks ago as I was seeking out some more training.
Glad you found us and are enjoying the videos! Elmer was great to fly with...very knowledgeable and easy going. Maybe we will run into each other one day...aviation's a small world. :)
Elmer Rullman is one of the best flight instructors in the Chicago area. I flown with him last year.
Beautiful bird and great video, thank you for sharing. Subscribed!
Thank you! I'm glad you are liking it and subscribed!
Great video!
Love the Cessna 310
Enjoyed the ride along! Thanks.
You're welcome Randy...glad you enjoyed it!
The 310 sure is a hot rod! Would be fun to fly one some day!
Thanks Tyler and I agree. If you ever see one flying around locally it never hurts to ask. :)
Yup that looks like him, he used to instruct at American Flyers out at DPA. Nice guy haven’t seen him in almost ten years, glad to see he’s still flying.
That was him. Super nice and knowledgeable. Very good to fly with him. Thanks for watching.
Any chance your instructors name was Elmer?
Good for you. Great video and thanks for putting yourself out there. Would love to meet your instructor. Haven't flown since 1992. Would love to get back in.
Thank you Allan! It can be tough opening up to the possible Monday morning quarterbacking but so far it seems that most people are enjoying the sharing. I for sure can always learn something more and have found that watching myself allows for some self critiquing. If you are in the area, his name is Elmer and can be found by calling Illinois Aviation Academy at DPA. He would be an excellent instructor to help knock the rust off. Good luck getting back in the air!
This plane is a beauty
Well done!
As a kid I used to watch the TV program "Sky King." When the TV series began, Sky King flew a Cessna T-50 Bobcat. In 1956 it was replaced with a 1956 Cessna 310B. The last aircraft used was a 1960 Cessna 310D. A third 310, “Song Bird III,” was used for publicity photos.

That was a very cool show indeed. Made a lot of people fall in love with Twin Cessna's. I refer to Jaime as my Penny. :)
ok I'm hooked great job can jamie narrate a little more unless of course she doesn't want to I'm not a pilot but I have ridden enough to appreciate how good you both are safe journeys and all the best we flew lantana to key west a lot
Great Job Kevin!
Thank you Donald!
At the time of this flight review what was your pilot rating level? Just curious. I haven't seen a flight review in a long time.
Nice work! These videos are an excellent way to debrief, for all of us. A couple of comments: For multi-engine (I own a Baron 58) you might like GUMPSS. Gas, Undercarriage, MIxture, Props, Seatbelts, and Switches. The final S at the end is great for Yaw Dampner, landing and taxi light configuration, and heater.
The only other constructive idea I'll share since you are already more than competent: (unless gusty and heavy) blue line, and especially blue plus 5, is a lot of energy for short final, and in my opinion, really fast for over the fence. Check your POH before listening to some random guy like me on the internet - but my POH is 101 blue and 95 final approach @ max gross. I have VG's so when light 85-90 on short final with judicious up trim, gets the mains on soft and slow in unison with stall warning horn.
In no way am I criticizing your ops - just noticed you wrestling the landing energy after calling out blue or blue plus 5. Thanks for sharing your beautiful 310 ad pilot skills with all of us!
Thank you Tango! I only use the blue line plus 5 on long runways. I use 1.3 Vso whenever I go to short or grass fields. I've never flown a Baron but the twin cessna's need a little bit more energy to the flare to not plant it too hard. I usually cross the fence a little above blue line and start bleeding the speed better towards the threshold than I did here. VG's are also on my list of safety upgrades...along with shoulder harnesses. Thanks again for watching and your words of wisdom! I am always eager to learn. I'll get some greasers again!
Tango T j
working to get back in the seat and start flying again. So watching videos like these are very informative. What gear did you use for the AV?
Great job, thanks for sharing.
You're welcome...glad you enjoyed it!
Good job, Kevin.
Thanks Raymond!
Very informative!
Great video. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. Love your avionics suite / layout. Could you share what you've got in there? Is that an Aspen in front of you and 430 in the center bottom? Any guidance appreciated as I look to update my avionics as well. Thanks!
Glad you liked it Mathew! The attitude indicator is a Garmin G5 (if you look at a newer video you will see I also installed the Garmin G5 HSI), the audio panel is the Garmin GMA 340, the top gps is the Garmin GNS530W, below it is the 430 and below that is the Garmin GTX345 transponder. The MFD on the right stack is the Garmin GMX200 and the radar is a RDR160 (need a new screen). Hope that helps and good luck on your avionics upgrade!
Thanks for the quick reply! Hugely helpful and much appreciated!
You must off read my mind ,good you did this video.i was going to ask you if you did your biannual on the twin or rent a single engine.thnk you for sharing.fly safe.
You're welcome Tito! That was the first video I shot in my plane (plane was still pretty new to me) and first video edited. I will do it again on my next BFR and it should turn out a little better.
Recently found your channel and have been enjoying the footage! What is the cost per hour to operate your 310?
Good question, going to comment so I hopefully get a notification if you receive an answer.
Airplane intel made a video on owning and operating the 310! I think it might hold some answers to the question you asked!
I need to move a Cessna 340 form KLOT to 1C5 (Bolingbrook). Does anyone know a pilot qualified in the 340?
Nice job Kevin
Thank you!
Beautiful 310. Recently discovered your channel and subscribed. Quick question: why the large split on your fuel flow (pressure?) gauge between L and R? Is that actual or a gauge error?
Thanks for watching! It's a gauge error. I have the actual fuel flow on my Engine Monitor on the pilot side and it is matched. I'll try to have the gauge corrected during annual.
What year Cessna are you flying? Thanks
Good video good aircraft
Very fun your video, my passing my twin IFR at st-hubert Quebec on C310
Glad you liked it Alain! Congrats on your twin IFR as well. I did my initial twin rating in a piper Seneca...I would have much preferred a 310. :)
low budget me old Aztek bloc hour Salutation et merci
What's the bottom right screen that appears inactive for?
It's my weather radar. I don't turn it on unless there is possible weather ahead. Thanks for asking!
Can you detail your panel avionics? Looks like at Garmin 650/750 on there. Thanks.
I have a Garmin G5 AI, 530W, 430, GTX345, GMX200 and RDR160 Radar.
Great day for flying, cockpit alittle warm with the a/c inop.....I think the inop sticker is just there so renters don't use it. Next time im going to try it on the ground to see if it works. lol
I only used it once and it worked fine. That was a couple years ago so who knows. Glad you had a nice flight!
Nice videos! Your 310 looks very nice, what year is it?
Thank you! It's a '73 Q model.
What head set does Jamie wearing?
I am curious . does anyone have any cockpit film or video of Kirby Grant actually flying the Songbird? just wondering
Not here but let me know if you find it!
@@310Pilot Will do , You might find this interesting ..I went to a Garage Sale at the Flying Crown Ranch here in Apple Valley ,the other day ..didn't buy anything but the new owners are nice..No Songbird though and the facade is completely changed and the only thing that is left from the original ranch is the Chimney... Time changes things Oh well later Happy Flying A J
I assume you just edit out your usual checklist reviews. It may be a good community service to show the checklist review occasionally so newbies see a good example.
You can tell this was a serious flight.
Kevin had his hat off...
bfr,s are always a little nerve racking but has to be done. i have to do one soon and after i do i am going to buy a cessna 310D. their. a great airplane
I couldn't make last Sunday cause of weather, I will go this Sunday got 9:00 am reservation for the Jet Room, hope you could make it.
Unfortunately I had to help out a friend today. Hopefully I can join back up soon! How was it?
During run-up , your mixture knobs are not in the full forward position (?) Even at high density altitudes runups are full rich, aren't they? At takeoff you DID push them up.
I'm not an expert on much of anything but I do subscribe to Mike Busch's engine running philosophies for the most part. The only time my mixtures are full forward is low DA takeoff's and go-arounds. Other than that, you'll usually find them leaned to some degree. Kind of long to explain the concepts here but if you are really interested look up his writings on engine management. He writes for AOPA and EAA. Thanks for watching!
I agree about leaning for higher-DA take-offs and general operation, but again, in this video you're only at 700 MSL, and moreover, you DID push them full forward for take-off in this video. So why not for the runup?
Because dumping more fuel than needed in the cylinders doesn't help check the magnetos or verify that the prop feathers. It just doesn't make sense to me from a mechanical standpoint to push them forward for the run-up.
Hmm, I'm under the impression that doing a run-up ALSO determines whether an engine is capable of developing full power, exclusive of testing the mags and prop(s). In my 172S (fuel injected), when I attempt to do run-ups at 1800rpm with the mixture taxi-leaned, I have to push more throttle to get there. The engine tends to either lag or run rough. Doesn't it also do that to you? Not wanting to beat the dead horse here, but I'm thinking the POH instructions for a run-up must say to use full-rich for a reason, right? I'm willing to be schooled on why this isn't necessary, but I've never seen anyone else do a run-up with the mixtures leaned (unless at high DA's of course). I'll check out Mike Bosch's info mentioned above.
@@drpando I hope by now you've read the articles he was referring to, EXCELLENT info. We were all taught they way you described, but it's not the "best" practice. Do you land with the mixture full rich? You shouldn't! Do you lean enough on the ground so that it won't run over about 1200RPM? YOU SHOULD! that way you will never take of with it lean, since it won't hardly run above idle. Do you Richen the mixture in the decent? Why? It's all in the Mike Busch and John Deakin articles. Oh and BTW, unless you are doing a full throttle run-up and checking the max static RPM you really aren't checking the power output during the run-up.
Local controller made a bad call telling the Bonanza and additional aircraft ready for departure to hold short and wait for 1BC. Not an unsafe call but: Good gosh she had enough room she could've rolled a couple of VFR 73's out ahead of you (1BC) and still had room. No call for intentionally delaying aircraft...that makes me nuts!! The meter's running lady! Maybe ATC training in progress?
Elmer is the best flight instructor around.
I was impressed Tim. That was my first flight with him and he is great. Very knowledgeable. I'll for sure fly with him again!
FWIW: Please, take this with the spirit intended as you may have asked the examiner out of courtesy. When random navigating especially with altitude changes, TCAS equipped or not, asking for flight following IMHO isn't optional, it's mandatory.
Those guys are brutal are they!
wat u looking at on ipad ?
What make & model of camera are you using in the cabin?
I now use GoPro: hero 5 black, hero 7 black and hero 5 session.
A new subscriber...😃👍👌👊🛩
Does the 310 have anti ice?
Yes. I only know because one of the vids I watched he had a double vacuum pump failure which caused his de-icing boots to misbehave. Not in icing conditions but maybe you can find the vid. He explains to Jaime how rare a dual failure is and that he checked both pumps prior to t/o and he showed her and us what the boots were doing.
So much jealous 🤤
WOW you without a hat is SUPER hot!!!! New to your channel and watching all your videos from the beginning.
I really want to know what VFR stands for lol
Visual Flight Rules
You look funny without your hat!
ATC Question on the Cessna 310. I had a 310 lose the right engine the other day. Pilot must have been pretty busy in the cockpit because he wouldn't declare an emergency but said he needed to land at the nearest airport. It wasn't until his first right 360 that I realized he had an engine out. Was difficult to get information from him because he was busy so I just did what I could. My question is, with a right engine out he was only able to make right turns to line up with the airport. If you were to line up with say for example runway 36 in this situation and my vectors had you just 20° off to the right of centerline, is there any trim or other that a pilot can use to do a slight left turn even with the right engine being out? I'm guessing a very sketchy move would be to cut power on the left engine and then make that correction gliding... But short of that answer, under power, how much realistically can a 310 turn to the left using trim or flaps or whatever to line up when they're too far to the wrong side of straight and level for the runway? Or do they simply need to make another right 360 and then ease it over to line up? He was about 5 mi North on the 3rd 360 when he finally lined up.
Why do you talk faster on the radio?
I guess it is a negative habit transfer from being an ATC'er? Short, quick and concise is the goal there. Hope it's not too bad. Thanks for watching.
What is the Aircraft like on pitch.. I have a model on a flight sim and the pitch seems quite flimsy and sensitive.
I'd say it's the opposite. To me is seems very stable and solid on pitch...the controls aren't too heavy or light.
Contacted the developer and he's had a look. He's found an error that's made it 20%-25% more pitch sensitive xD..He's gonna fix it on the next update. Cheers for the reply!.
Your guest co-pilot was not nearly as cute as your regular co-pilot!
I concur David. :)
I teach to say touch and go or full stop so traffic knows what you are doing.
Elmer is the best!
He was great! Look forward to flying with him again!
Lol! You’re funny. You were Still looking for a perfect landing at the end.
Always in search of the perfect touchdown! I've been owning them lately. Hopefully that trend keeps up. :)
If you can manage the fuel system in a 310, the rest of it is a breeze.
Gosh, what do I have to do in order to afford to buy a plane? It seems like running my own business is the only option.
Hello Tyler, flying isn't as expensive as many usually think. The plane cost as much as the average new wake boarding boat. If you get hooked, it does require some financial dedication to it like a lot of hobbies but it's completely worth it.
310 Pilot thanks for the reply man! I guess I see all of these vids and assume most of these people are owners. I've got 32.5hrs so far and am about to kick off training again towards my PPL, no one has solod me yet lol, luckily I found an instructor who will very soon. I keep looking forward to your vids!
I know thus post is old but im wondering the same thing. I make $150k a year 2200 mortgage, 400 auto. I wonder if i can afford an aircraft. @aquatone327
Hi, I bought the Cessna 310r for Microsoft Simulator. In the manual it says, after running flying the plane on the Main Tanks for 90 minutes then swap to the Aux Tanks. My question is,is that 90 minutes per flight, or an accumulated 90 minutes, say over two or three flights.
He checked me out in a Saratoga
The blue and white one from IAA? I used to fly that plane as well if so. :)
That's the one, I would like to join you guys for Sunday breakfast club. I've been going to KMSN to the Jet Room. My fav.
You should! Not going to make tomorrow...with Mother's Day and all. I'll try for next Sunday if able.
Next Sunday works for me, will workout time if weather permits
those mixtures are really out of wack
How long would it take to fly 500 miles?
Im going to get either a cessna 337 or 310
Awesome Aaron! I've never been in a 337 but have heard good things. Love our 310!
NOT a GOOD DAY to be flying VFR! For Fun !!
Every day is a good day to be flying....well almost. As long as there are no thunderstorms, icing, LLWS, severe turbulence, etc. I take great effort to stay clear of things that can jeopardize safety. Thanks for watching.
The control check before takeoff was inadequate.
Why are you not wearing a hat?
I would have failed this guy for the beard - not good.... among several other things.
Whats everyones call.on mixture control ?
