ZID is literally the crossroads center for west coast east coast and ATL ORD traffic, hence they are always busy. Love the sound of yr bird. Did you wipe the butter off that bottom of the Mooney from that landing? Lol. Nice vid.
Depends on controller and where they are. Also, If I am traversing a local tracon area, but will be leaving their area in 5 minutes, I don't want to be bothered checking in to tracon only to be transferred to Center 5 minutes later so that I can be transferred back to Tracon 5 minutes later than that. Only other problem is with motormouth controllers that minimize transmission times and garble the message that they are attempting to issue (may be fine for locals used to the area and procedures --- not so good for transients)
I agree there, I ran into that problem in St. Louis. I was told to report "abeam the arch", or course it makes sense now...but I had no clue what I was being told initially.
She is sassy but I guess she was busy and they guy was busy not listening. By the way how is the dynon working out? I just bought a used one on eBay and sold my stratux. I also have a sentry but the dynon size is the key. I like that suction cup mount. I have not seen one out there for dynon.
Sure if you don’t mind. There is nothing out there. Let me know how much. If you are ever in south Florida let me know and we can go flying on my warrior. But my landings are not as smooth as yours. Thanks a lot.
Haha, I’ll actually be heading down to Sebring soon. My airplane is currently stranded down there (weather). I’ll get one made, I definitely won’t charge you anything!
Great experience with ATC having operated out of KMSY it can get very busy You did a very good job with it. When You get Your IR rating it will be another learning experience as clearance changes etc can be get crazy.
I don't know how to react to the controller from Indy asking for that one guy to respond quicker. My first reaction is that pilot's priorities should be aviate, navigate, communicate - in that order. But on the other hand, I have no idea of the context. I don't know if he's been taking a long time to respond for 10 minutes or just the last 2 calls. And you showed us how busy that airspace was, so I imagine she's under a lot of stress trying to get everyone sequenced. Not having enough context means I should give everyone involved the benefit of the doubt, but as a pilot, and not a controller, I feel annoyed.
I do agree it was a bit uncalled for. I also don’t know if there was more context from prior to me coming on freq. but a little grace is always in order.
Nope, I’ve often had pilots (non-instructional, commercial traffic) take an inordinate amount of time to respond to each clearance when you, as a controller, are knee deep in airplanes. Now, should this aircraft be at 20000’ and 45 miles from the airport, I wouldn’t care as much, but when they’re being vectored on base and final to parallel approaches surrounded by multiple other aircraft, then it’s incumbent upon them to be on the ball. A readback and/or compliance with an instruction that is perpetually 10 secs late can have a serious impact on spacing requirements between aircraft.
@@happycanayjian1582 as a pilot, I'm taught that flying the airplane takes priority over communication with atc. Do controllers know that? Do they prioritize communication higher than flying the airplane? Do they expect pilots to have that same priority?
@@1dullgeek Not sure how to respond to that since it appears you didn’t read what it is I wrote. And unless you’re specifically referring to an aircraft in distress/emergency (which isn’t the case here, nor what I was alluding to) then you’re categorically being misled by whoever is responsible for doling out your pilot’s license.
One question: How long did it take you to get to Florida? We have family in Clearwater. Just curious how long it really took you with the Mooney. I believe Foreflight tells me 7 hours from 1C5 in a 172.
My trip was broken up into a couple of segments mostly because of a pre planned stop. But with no wind it would be about 7 hours to southern Florida where I was headed.
Wow, that's never happened to me before. I hit refresh on YT and it showed this video, published 24 seconds ago. Video shows "No Views". Guess that means I am the first. Yeah!!!

As always, thank you!!!

The Dynon works good for me. I actually made the mount on a 3D printer. I’m mostly happy with it. Want one?

@@MyTimeToFly that’s great . Greatly appreciated but please advice on shipping cost.
Hey man, sorry for the delay. I got your holder made. Shoot me an email at Highflying121@gmail.com so we can share shipping info.
Only have my PPL but I love talking to ATC, it's great practice. I am pretty much always using flight following so I'm used to it
Using flight following is a great habit! I enjoy it as well.
Great experience with ATC having operated out of KMSY it can get very busy You did a very good job with it. When You get Your IR rating it will be another learning experience as clearance changes etc can be get crazy.
For sure! I really need to work on that rating. I give ATC lots of credit for their job, not an easy one!
Awesome video! I don’t mind talking to ATC I just don’t do it very often. Definitely need to do it more.
Without question practice helps! I went from hating it, to really enjoying it.
The Mooney you have seems to have a lot of shoulder space. That's awesome. I would love to get me a Mooney
It has way more than most people believe. I’m 6’1” and daily wide up top too.
Audible is great to keep the mind going when the worse case you can say about the flight is it was boring
Good idea! I’ll give it a try.
Enjoyed the video. Which autopilot do you have in your Mooney?
I’m glad you liked it. There is no functional autopilot in my Mooney, there is an old in-op unit. She just trims out really nice.

Did he call you a Cirrus on the transfer to Nashville.
Min 6:24
I don’t this so, it was just a muffled Mooney. Calling me a cirrus would be fighting words!!!

Fantastic!!! Thanks for being here man. I hope you enjoy.
