8:04 "don't let ATC tell you stuff you don't wanna do" Super mature and wise beyond your years man. Being able to tell ATC "unable" is one of the hardest things for young pilots to do. You're killing it already
@@AlionCZcams. ATC are not pilots, they dont know what it's really like up there, so they may ask you to perform unsafe maneuvers like flying into rough weather because they dont think it's such a big deal.
Im a 60 yr old 28 yr CFI with 20k hours. You are among the best Ive seen-aircraft familiarity, organized cockpit, situation awareness, checklist usage, and always ahead of your airplane. I sense zero ego, youthful bravado or immaturity. I see in you a top notch professional. Youll go farther in two years under your own power than I will the rest of my life if I had a rocketship!!
@s35flyer I know this will be an odd question but here goes. I am a short guy and I was wondering if there is a way to add the ability to adjust the pilot seat to go up and down? I hate a cushion they are not comfortable and don’t feel natural.
More impressive than the flying is the level of respect in these comments. The way you're able to accept both praise and constructive criticism is admirable: Keep it up!
You are mature beyond your years. Very impressive when most guys your age these days aren’t mature enough to trust with a car. You’re going great places in life.
Hey man, great video! Nice editing and nice panel, btw! Just, wanted to share something with you; Don't under estimate the value of the "heads up" taxi. Loading GPS data, playing with CDIs, etc, are all good ways to get your first prop strike. God forbid of course, but people have hit other people, pets, cars, aircraft, hangars, cones, poles, etc, because they were taxing while doing everything but looking out the window. It's never a good habit, I promise. Not reprimanding you - I've been in this biz for two decades and have totally made my fair share of mistakes. Just looking out for you!
It doesn't matter how good a pilot you think you are. Even if you have a photographic memory, you should always back everything up with the checklist. It only takes 1 time to skip or miss something, especially as fast as you breeze through your flows. It only takes 1 time and you definitely don't want it to cost a life, including your own.
I do a flow and back it up by the checklists on my ForeFlight. I completed all checklists but I needed to edit things out so the video wasn’t 45 mins long.
Old school before we had the new electronic checklist, we had to learn to use them. USAF pilot training 1968. Later in life I owned a Bonanza with two other pilots. When flying with one of them, I always urged the use of a checklist. You are doing a good job. Very professional.
First, mad props to who ever raised you, outstanding job. I subbed so I can follow you over the next couple years ( they will define the rest of your life ). I will check out any other videos you have but am interested to know what your long term goals are.
Well done! I’m a student pilot with only my final checkride to complete for my PPL. Really enjoyed watching this…at 17 you’re already a pro! I love flying at night too. That Bonanza is sweet!
Way to go young man! You are on your way! I'm 72yrs old. Never had your stuff when I flew. Don't let that go to your head. From what I've seen you won't.
Hey, young man. keep posting more videos of your flight. Looking good up there. Just found your page. Awesome bro. That is my goal too. To obtain my private pilot license. Currently, in a A.A.S. Aviation Management program. Two classes this semester. Thank you for posting. Can't wait for more.
@@danielm6801you can lead the horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. Regardless of their background, he still has to put in loads of studying & work. If the video itself isn’t evident of hard work at such a young age, then I don’t know what is. I’ve seen pilots way older, with likely more experience, come nowhere close to this kid’s professionalism! Give credit where credit is due.
Dude you rock....I'm 45 I wanna fly so bad...just to dam scared and here you are 16 years old sound like a pro...bless you young man and thanks for the content got a new sub
Very impressed by your in cockpit skills and the way you handle yourself. Get your 1500 hours and fly the public around. You were born to do it. I dream of flying you can do it.
He conceded he had an "out" if things "got bad" which means he entertained the idea that they could. Given there was a chance he might have to execute his escape route the decision to go was problematic. I get it, though: he's 17, on fire with the passion of flight, and this is what 17-year olds do. The thing that really scares me are the people who expressed they are learning to fly or want to and thought this was a masterclass in flying.
Hey man I am a pretty well versed ASEL/IFR pilot and a student of commercial aviation up at University of North Dakota. I have experience with thunderstorms, both in Florida and many places elsewhere. Flying underneath thunderstorms is a very ill advised idea, the FAA recommends at least 20NM from cells the size you were right next to. Hail, Microbursts, Wind-shear, and lightning are just a few deadlier hazards that can get you in that scenario, it’s just a matter of when. If I were you, don’t file IFR or fly even VFR anywhere near a thunderstorm like that; being below it doesn’t mean anything. It’s not worth your airframe and it’s not worth your life. Just remember airliners don’t even go that close to extreme precipitation and thunderstorms which means you definitely shouldn’t be. Tailwinds
I appreciate the comment and your advice. I’m aware the FAA recommends 20mm from a cell and 99% of the time I follow that recommendation. This time was a little different due to active military airspace but I felt confident becuse multiple other aircraft went through the same route. Regardless of that after looking back on the video multiple times if I had to do it again I probably wouldn’t have, but I did and I’m taking it as a learning experience.
Living in the U.K., I’ve always wanted to fly home to family in Ireland in an aircraft such as this, as it would make for a fun hop across the Irish Sea - there is a Catholic church in JFK dedicated to Our Lady of the Skies, the Patroness of all pilots
It looks like you have a Stormscope, but it does not appear to be on. If you have one, they are great tools for keeping you away from thunderstorm activity. Not really useful for tactical maneuvering around or through them, but excellent for strategic avoidance.
The restricted airspace and helicopter traffic with the usual traffic there makes a pilot pay a lot more attention than compared to others Class C places.
I’m 16 and just meeting requirements for my ppl so when I go 17 I can get my license so happy to see someone his almost in the same spot as me. As soon as I get my PPL I want to get my instrument
Go do it. Flying is an addiction. Started my license when I was 15 and was a blast. The studying definitely takes some discipline though. Still had to pass all my classes. Seems like today they don’t fail anyone in school. But I sure don’t envy the price people pay for aircraft rental. Ouch!
impressive stuff! having done my cpl ME/IR at an integrated school, the way the flows and checklists are done in such a rush and while taxiing gave me slight anxiety :) Also, how does it work when you pick up an IFR clearance in the air? seems strange to me but ive seen it done quite a lot in videos from the US.
Awesome video bro, I don't know the context of the video but you are legit flying between some big cells! Have you seen any of Dan Gryders videos on his channel called probable cause? As others said, you were a total pro throughout, But I don't know I just feel like this flight might have been an unnecessary risk. I mean that with the greatest of respect buddy.
I appreciate the comment. I do know of Dan Gryders videos. The cells were only on the coast and it was clear skies inland (My FPL I filed for was inland avoiding the storms) but atc had a different idea. If I ever feel uncomfortable I knew I could always turn around. Calculated risk that I felt comfortable in that I could get out in a bad situation
hey get your turn cooradinator checked next annaul/periodic as its bearings are getting worn. its why it sounds like jet engine starting. Love the video!
Impressed. Where can I see your story cuz you sound like sn old cfi😮 Dads Bonanza, how does a 17 y.o. have such access to a highend plane?? Are you going for commercial? AIrliners or prvt jets?
Nice flight. Thanks for taking me along. Your procedures are good across the board. The video doesn't address this, and I didn't hear you say anything, but does selecting VFR approach on the Garmin provide you with any vertical guidance? Always good to have some backup vertical guidance like a glide slope or LVN GPS approach if there's something available on your landing runway. You most certainly had a PAPI or VASI on your VFR approach, and I'm not critical of you. It was a good flight. Perhaps RNWY 26 doesn't have any IFR approaches. Those kinds of runways still exist. But if there is an approach to back yourself up with, it's not a bad practice. Keep safe.
@@henrymullin1836 Thanks for responding. I'm really glad to know that! The only Garmin experience that I have is on the Garmin 3000. Garmin must keep reinventing itself! LOL!

Really made me happy to see such a professional pilot at 17. Been flying bonanzas now for 25 years and 2k hrs, couldn’t do it any better. Good job.

You're flying that Bonanza like you've got a couple thousand hours in it. Keep up the good work!

Awesome video man. I live out here beside KPNS and getting my PPL rn, awesome seeing younger pilots out here flying as well.
Awesome video. Very professional work in the cockpit. Keep it up!

Really good i love the content 1st vid I watched and a new subscriber this makes me want to become a pilot even more
Hats off to this young man. Great job!
Really enjoyed watching you...saw myself in the mid-'70's at age 16-17 going through private/commercial w/multi-engine and IFR ratings.
I’m 25y/o working on my private. You make this all look so easy. Hopefully it’ll eventually become this easy for me lol
Well done young man! You may be the next Citation Max!
ya it helps when dad has a load of cash...

I love night flying too…as long as the engine doesn’t quit. I stopped flying at night single engine once I became acutely aware of that risk.
Same. I have nowhere I need to be to take that risk of not being able to find a field. I'll drive before I take a long flight at night in my single.
Saludos from Miami and keep it up! just added you to the aviation channels I follow ✊
Earned my commercial license thirty years ago and could probably learn a thing or two from this guy! Amazing!
Absolutely impressive job!!

Why ya scared? You can do it.
very nice. Calm and collected. This guy has a future.
Nice video, enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing!

Truly amazing at 17 🎉 🇨🇦
Nice flying! See you in the airspace sometime, I fly out and around pensacola approach airspace all the time.
Respect to you!!
sick man, great flying!
Very cool, you have a future secured as a pilot. Cheers
also from nav so super sick to see a aviation vid from this area! just moved out west for flight school
Been following you on insta for a while now, glad to see you pop up in my CZcams recommended 😎
He's left handed...game over! Keep it up bro!!!!!
This is literally so cool, hoping i’ll be able to do this in the future
Man. Awesome flight.
You got my did A great job couldn’t have done it better.
thanks for sharing this with us !

Flying through thunder storms with one engine and no de-ice?? Boy you bold
Great pilot!!!!
Beautiful!
Most mature 17 year old I've ever seen. If I were to have just heard this without seeing it I would have assumed you're in your 30s.
Nice to see steam gauges vs the video screens!
