Juan, this is too long a comment but felt it needed to be said. Not to be a Debbie Downer but, as a retired FAA Aviation Safety Operations Inspector of 12 years service after mandatory retirement from a Part 121 air carrier, I can only say that the many hats any FSDO inspector has to wear, is overwhelming. My stress level during my tenure as a POI in the Houston, Texas FSDO tripled from my 121 days. Why? Workload and lack of adequate personnel. The pressure from my sincere desire to oversee the safe performance of all my operators with oversight of five or six Part 135 operators, three ag operators, and four flight schools, the lack of hours in a day, then throwing in accident investigation (NTSB doesn't send a team to investigate the Cessna 172 that augers in and kills 2 people unless there is a celebrity onboard), initial CFI check rides, violation investigation duties, and dozens of other functions, ultimately cost me my medical certificate.
When I hired in and was schooled by a seasoned inspector, the first piece of advice he gave me? "Understand this. On the FIRST day on the job, you will have a desk piled high with unfinished work. On the LAST day on the job, your desk will be piled high with unfinished work. You are going to have to accept that premise, I promise." In my case, I hated that premise and it ultimately ate my lunch.
Warbird oversite? I'll venture the Collings deceased POI had experience that was largely irreplaceable, I'd also bet that the original Collings POI had a similar workload that I've described above. I would hope that the management at the FSDO that held Collings certificate had some sort of arrangement with a remote POI inspector with B-17 experience to fill in for the deceased POI. But getting the remote inspector's schedule to fit with Collings oversight needs just fell through the cracks and didn't happen as it should have. The average ops inspector today never touched a B-17, let alone evaluated a pilot in one. How many inspectors out there are typed in one? Even most maintenance inspectors lack lots of experience on round engines today.
The FAA general aviation side of the house is waaay understaffed. Is this the ONE answer? No, but it is a big part of the deficiency of the FAA. Find the funds from the BILLIONS WASTED by Congress DAILY. Put a chunk of the money into building the agency up by hiring more qualified, conscientious inspectors. That would be a big step forward!
I was myself in the same position in HKG. Far less than these jobs but were overwhelming as hell... left after 7 years and went back to flight ... part 91 :-)
Resumed life!
Hello Rich. Good to hear from you.
@@rotorruss Hi Russ. You still in the fight?
@@richlaw1427 I am just trying to get to MRA. They should have medically retired me after their chief pilot broke my neck in the crash.
@@rotorruss So sorry, brother. I hadn't heard about that. Was this a fairly recent crash? I'm assuming you are trying to get medical retirement? (MRA) I wish you well and will keep you and your family in my prayers. Go to Facebook, send me a private message and we'll catch up on each other's lives.
"Why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" I always remember someone who did one of those tandem jumps explaining "it's not a perfectly good airplane, it's got no seats and no doors!"
Haha! There’s the story of the first time parachute jumpers being briefed that they should be aware that the aircraft has no door. One asked how they could get out if there’s no door!
You are on the right track. However, FAA currently has nowhere near the manpower needed to apply Part 135-type regulation to Part 91 operators.
I'd wager the NTSB never miss a Blancolirio episode.
Clearly, glider sightseeing flights are among the most pressing problems in aviation today. How the FAA determines priorities is mind boggling. They don't have a database of revenue-passenger operators but they do have a database of every DJI drone bought to photograph houses from 50 feet AGL.
The NTSB said it themselves “THE aviation CZcams channel”. There ya have it. The best.
lol I think Peter couldn't pronounce 'Blancolirio'...
@@blancolirio Quit being modest. I’ll call you out on Saturday too.
@@blancolirio what is the background for the channel name anyways?
@@derekf85 The channel was started by his wife. The name means white flower. Then he started posting on her channel and the rest is history.
@@Real_Natural "White Lily". It's a lovely story!
What a significant honor Juan !
I have on more than one occasion mentioned your level of professionalism Juan !
Obviously, other viewers like myself, haven't been the only ones who have been paying attention !
I may be misunderstanding something Juan,
but for the NTSB to invite you to be a part of this level of professionalism, and competency doesn't just happen to anyone !
Like I said earlier Juan,
"unless I am missing something !
You, and the blancolirio channel, have long been my "go-to" source of professional news, and insight into any number of either an accident, or significant rare interest collectable fixed wing, or rotating wing type aircraft report, or review !
In my opinion Juan, this is something to be proud of !
My only question would be Juan,
who are the 21-22 who had given you the thumbs down ?
I apologize for my lengthy comment Juan !
Your work is totally appreciated Juan, keep up the good work Sir !
Your motorcycle Adventure videos inspired me to buy a bike. I'm 65 and just bought my first dirt bike. I'm in northern Arizona and am exploring dirt roads and Jeep trails.
Juan, your doing something right when a government agency like NTSB is recognizing there are people like you paying attention. Keep it up and the FAA might get the message.
Juan: really well done summary...as always, thank you for your professional approach! In your explanation of "the parts" (91, 135, 121), you really make a great point that people wanting to operate "for pay" have some options...however, you left out 91 subpart K (fractional) and Parts 141 and 142 (which I would summarize as flight schools). The problem that I see is if we make EVERYBODY (all wanting to operate for hire) "pick a part" (besides straight 91) we risk two things: (1) stiffling aviation; (2) overloading the FAA (which then also stiffles aviation AND gives the FAA a bad name). So, I guess I'd summarize "be careful what you wish for".
Sir, I want to thank you for what and how you show, demonstrate and elaborate on aviation stuff. I can barely make a paper airplane airplane fly, but what you're doing for the aviation community is amazing. Thank you for what you do is highly appreciated. Sir thank you for what you are doing and thank you for serving our country.
Thanks Henry!
Great job, Juan! Good to see you getting to ask important questions.
My fear is that if you keep asking such hard hitting questions, they’re not going to let you ask any more questions. But, then I realized that they choose which questions to ask. Great job, Juan!
NTSB liked that question, because it allowed them to send a clear, and public, message to FAA that they are not impressed with how FAA handles their recommendations.
@@rodgerhatfield3068 Maybe not. But that wasn't what my comment was about.
@@perwestermark8920 I totally agree. @Rodger Hatfield I agree with you, too, But, I only worry about 2 things: The things that I can fix and the things that I'm willing to put the enery into' to fix.
Great report Juan! You are making a difference in aviation safety!
CONGRATS! This channel is well done and deserves to be recognized as a member of the Press.
Juan, This is seriously good work. Thank you so much for doing the heavy lifting of advocacy and reportage.
Juan your tops in your industry and you ask tough question's , which makes you our hero. Great job Juan and thank you for educating us .
On a lighter note. I imagined Dan-the-man doing this report with his ‘on the screen graphics’ and holding up all the documents you used. No, I’m not saying he should change. I like his unique style. I was just smiling to myself at the thought.
Thanks Juan
Excellent video Juan, as always.
Thanks Juan. Informative and very important information for aviators and recreational flyers alike. Big respect and best wishes... LSF.
"Why would you want to jump out of a perfectly good aeroplane?" Brilliant Juan! Reminds me of a retired RAF Loadmaster who once said the same thing to me!
Congratulations on being given some greater notice in the community! It's great to see great people do great things!
Hi Juan. Greetings from Ireland. I know that in this kind of situation comments need to be brief but you and your viewers may find this story interesting. A couple of years ago my immediate neighbour (Irish spelling) went to the USA on some business for his company whose headquarters are in Atlanta Georgia. These events usually include some little perks and in this case one was a helicopter trip over the grand canyon. This went very well and a great time was had by all . Some days time after his return we heard of a crash of a helicopter crash in the canyon .While he was somewhat concerned about the consequences we thought that with all of the helicopters in the area the chances of it being his one were remote but it transpired that it was indeed the same one and the pilot and others died. Mostly UK tourists. I think that they actually landed in the canyon and that this was the where the problem arose with the fatal flight. I love your Chanel and when it come to avation you are the greatest by a country mile as we say in Ireland.
I've always said that the only thing that would get me to parachute would be if the aeroplane has had important bits come off, or is uncontrollably on fire. Assuming adequate altitude of course..
Thanks Juan.
Juan,
Great job. Well done and thanks for details. Keep up the great work.
Great job, Juan! Excellent coverage of important news.
Long overdue. BRAVO!
You weren’t cleared through the bravo
I was the principal investigator for the NYPD on the Flynyon east river helicopter crash, having interviewed the pilot and everyone else involved at the company. If you’re curious about any details of that day reach out to me. I’m also a pilot and aircraft owner based in ny
Thank you, Juan.
Excellent video & update from the NTSB! Thanks, Juan!
Great report as usual. Give us a great insight.
Well done Juan! Just found the channel and love it! Go AA!
Congratulations are in order Juan. Nice work making a difference
Way to go Juan! A real, cut to the bone question!!!
Kickin a.. and takin names there Juan. Awesome work sir.
Thank you once again for this valuable information.
Thank you for sharing this important report. Amazing - I was almost done writing a nice response then my carefully crafted comment completely disintegrated into thin air. Now I'm ps'd. Perhaps someone got a potato chip up their kasunheidt b/c I was noticing a similarity between the FAA and the FDA, which has had problems with decision delays with respect to the coronavirus vaccines, to the detriment of thousands of lives. No sugar coating this one. Debbie Downer be damd. I can understand that people who work in federal institutions have legitimate stresses. We all do, but why don't more of us call out the garbage that goes on under the radar?
If they can't or aren't doing their job for whatever the reason, it does make sense that people in the industry or various groups get together and devise a cogent plan.
It has been hard to understand why some of these businesses don't regulate themselves better in a manner of speaking, in the absence of normal guidance. I still wonder how 1 guy only could wind up trying to keep a B-17 going?
There is a level at which safety must not be compromised. If you can't fly safely, then at some point you don't fly. That call is ultimately the responsibility of every pilot out there. We make our decisions in this life, and then we have to live with them. Or not.
Thanks again for your work and a very good report.
Thanks for doing this--we can't bring back those lost, but we can move toward making this as safe as reasonably possible.
Great video! Great examples given!
An outstanding video. You are on top of the safety issues.
Spot on as usuall.thanks for your hard work !
It's not often these faceless government agencies get lobbed a real question, but this is a question that needed to be asked that was unlikely to be asked by any of the usual media. Great job to both the NTSB and Juan for making it all happen!
In this "Information Age" Juan continues to get right to the heart of the safety management issues. The Part 91 revenue operators are well advised to take some proactive steps to develop model regulations for these unique flight experiences.
The interested public will find that the HANDWRITTEN letter to a legislator will nearly always be forwarded by staff to be personally read. They know if one person takes the trouble to hand write thousands of others are thinking the same thing. A mere handful of such letters does have an impact, in my personal experience. We can magnify Juan's concise overview with a little individual involvement.
Instead of begging for more government regulation I think it would better for industry to self regulate. Movies aren't regulated, they implement their own classification system.
Freedom is not free. It comes with responsibility.
In other parts of the world it is government who dictates what you can do or can't. If you don't want this in the USA, you better get moving.
The safety management of Part 91 revenue is now largely self regulated. In the B-17 crash even the existing rules were not monitored because, there was not even a procedure to monitor and assign a replacement FAA official to fill in to a vacancy. Juan put it simply and bluntly, the paying public deserves a reasonable standard of safe operations in this sub-category of general aviation. Unlike a commercial taxi the aircraft can’t just pull off to the shoulder when something goes wrong. Trucks, buses, trains, ships and aircraft have inherent dangers of size and speed. We are 100 years past the self regulation era.
JUAN, NICE WORK, as FAA. said they are not pleased with their own , ideas Next NTSB. I only know 1 person there, Even lots of military instruction time also I met him years ago doing AOPA courses in the N E . CHEERS 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
There are a lot of Single Pilot 135 Operators in Alaska with great safety records that have been operating for decades,
The NTSB & FAA needs to be watching ''Probable Cause: Dan Gryder''
Juan, That NTSBgov channel you highlighted here is scary interesting. Bet I could spend hours watching those videos.
NTSB flack really hit it out of the park! good job Juan!
Good stuff, Juan. Well done.
Now playing in the big leagues. Hopefully your channel will never be demonetized again!!
There is a lot of variation in GA. That’s a good thing. A balloon flight or backcountry flight in your husky for that matter is always going to have different risk profiles than a charter or airline operation. Would hate to see all the little guys regulated out of viable existence. I don’t think a Part# is the issue here. Put any number on a reg. you want and still someone will try to work an angle around it. Not convinced it’s a lack of adequate and appropriate regulations rather encouraging people (regardless of part) not to willfully skirt them.
Thx again Juan for a comprehensive view of current NTSB interactions with FAA on these significant part 91 accidents. I look forward to some of these proposed Safety Standards processes filtering down to GA operations.
I'll be waiting for the DTSB Press Brief, Juan ... 😜
I made a comment a while ago the NTSB and the FAA should give you a job Juan.... Keep up the content amazing job your doing!
Well you have more viewers than CNN so it seems reasonable to admit you as journalist.
And he is actually a expert in this subject.
Solid work JB!!
Thanks Juan
If FAA is overseeing us, who is overseeing FAA?
@@steverogers1443 No kidding Steve
Another great video by Juan. But for fun, can anyone identify buy sound what took off at 10:35Ish? Lots of power, multiple engines but sounded like a flight of two or more and not a twin.
One of the problems we face as aviators in America is when the NTSB and the FAA decide to "do good," they often overshoot the mark and we lose another increment of freedom. Eventually, we could end up like Europe, where it is virtually impossible to fly a general aviation aircraft unless you are VERY wealthy. Wealthy enough for all of the system fees, fuel taxes, paperwork filings, and all of the extra costs associated with a government that wants to "make things safer for everyone." When I was a young man, one could memorize the FARs, with no more effort than the 23rd Psalm. With every year, we are getting closer and closer to not being able to fly at all without some minor violation. This is because regulations are not designed to allow people to do things. No, they are designed to keep people from doing things, and the unintended consequences are growing exponentially. If you want safety, how about we hold someone accountable for not replacing the inspector who passed away, and THEN talk about more regulations? I give us 15 years before you have to go on line and download a code to put in a newer model transponder before you are allowed to take off at all. Imagine...every flight is by permission of the government. Anyone up for that?? It's where we are headed. Out.
Fantastic!!! 🖖
hard to focus with that beautiful Husky in the background…great video!!!
Nice Juan. Moving up.
This really makes me wonder about the oversight and lack thereof that led to the 737 MAX snafu.
xx Great Job!, Thanks.
Any tips on how to feed back to the CAA here in the UK?
Yes, you will be an NTSB Investigator
Beautiful awesome thank you so much thank you thank you
I flew in the Collings Foundation B-25 and recall thinking this is an old airplane and it could crash, I also feel the same when flying in helicopters.
I know you and Dan are gonna get the problems fixed.
Well broken down, Juan.
Lots of “party of the first part” type reading.
You did good, man.
I wish one day you would sit down and do a CZcams live. Kind of a Q and A.
Then you can receive super chats and donations. I think CZcams takes about 30% of that but sure would be neat to have a campfire Q&A live.
Good Idea!
Also your comment section is one of the best.
SMS draws risk specially after the fact to determine the Risk Number during the incident. I see this more useful to modify policy than to operations. I am talking about part 121. Like my old man use to say there no substitution for common sense.
Thanks Juan. And FTR, folks, you don't want to know how sausage is made or any other processed meat.
The political sausage is the dirtiest sausage of all!
@@COIcultist ah, good point
Not if you want to eat it...
@@Kimberly_Sparkles Kimberly there are always those who love to eat the dirtiest of sausage!

Funny was going to mention our N..Z captain who took us up in balloon in Capidocia Turkey. Winds were blowing but 200 balloons went up no accidents. Our captain cancelled came back next day, great flight, little winds, more balloons safe landing on the trailer...= respect. Sounds like short of staff, and protected species, wonder if same in Australia?
When do we get to see the Silver Bullet again
Four Corners in California? Isn’t that where. Colorado New Mexico and Utah and Nevada come together?
Good job Juan..Stay on it..
As always love your videos and as a pilot, I learn so much from them. Juan just of curiosity, what does Blancolirio mean? Sorry if it's obvious, I just dont know.
It means "White Lily". It started out as his wife's CZcams channel. Juan started to post videos on the channel, took it over when he continued to make videos and the rest is history.
First task before flight: determine if the PIC is conscientious or cavalier; second, trained or a daredevil; third, current or faking it.
Your life depends on it
Do you have a checklist for these attributes, DMcC? How does one determine them?
@@lizj5740
Red Flags:
Pilots who don't communicate safety instructions _before the engine starts._
Pilots who don't follow a written checklist.
Pilots who don't do careful preflight inspections.
Pilots who keep a messy aircraft.
Pilots who don't repair known mechanical problems.
Pilots who fib about doing their takeoffs and landings prior to carrying passengers.
Pilots who 'scud run'.
Pilots who knowingly violate the rules.
Pilots who medicate before flight with performance decreasing drugs.
Pilots who exhibit: Antiauthority, Impulsivity, Invulnerability, Macho, Resignation.
Pilots who don't request weather briefings.
Pilots who don't plan the flight.
Pilots who are unable to fly in a shared airspace.
#FlySafely
@@DumbledoreMcCracken Thanks for your reply. I can see how potential customers could determine some of these things, but other checklist items would be unknowable by the customer, like drug use or knowingly violating the rules. I suppose one could just ASK the pilot, if given the opportunity, questions about each of these. I say "Good luck to you."
@@lizj5740 asking is part of the process. Your ATP on a Part 121 flight isn't going to put up with your interview, but you might be able to sneakily ask a Part 135 pilot to tell you about the most frightening flights in recent memory.
And yet, the FAA seemingly has unlimited resources to investigate complaints made by laypeople about minor or non-existent violations that someone thought they saw on a CZcams video.
Wow!
I'd be interested in hearing your take on the Jump Center down in Lodi. How do the FARs affect their operation and how can an aviation related business still stay in operation given all the controversy with their alleged safety issues?
I heard your question. Live Congrats.
I wonder if Mr. Sumwalt recognized your name when your question was asked.. if not then maybe someone should familiarize him with your channel!!! congrats, I think you have the first CZcamsr question NTSB ever answered haha
Juan, you mentioned that the FAA monitors and promotes aviation? Surely it would be better to separate those two duties and give enforcement priority. It does seem that the FAA got into bed with the management at Boeing which led to the two tragic 737 crashes?
Not a fan of increasing the requirements on revenue operations in Part 91. There's no way they're not going to implement it without stepping on low intensity "commercial" operations. Remember, the restrictions on a private pilot are extremely strict when it comes to any type of revenue. Take a picture out of your window as you're flying along. Someone sees it and wants a print for their wall. If they pay you for that print, instantly that was a commercial revenue flight. Perhaps if they could somehow effectively implement a revenue % threshold. In other words, if in any given year, you take in flight revenue that exceeds 30% of your flying costs, then you need stricter regulation.
Correction: CF 909 B-17g flown by Mac Mc Cauley.
I hope you didn't get put on a list you don't want to be on. Good Video.
Hi Juan - this is a little off topic, but maybe you can clue me in about FAA regs. Aren't there specific regs for commercial use of various balloons or drones? They can't just fly up there all willy nilly can they? Like at 20-40,000 ft.? Thanks for any constructive feedback -
PS. How do regulations work for international flights? The FAA is just for flights within our country?
What about all the operators all over the world that run on the "N" reg as a flag on convenience?
Barnstorming is all fun and game$ until gravity.
LOL first commercial was for treatment for "bigger balls"
Super video! I applauded for $5.00 👏👏
Thanks Redondo!
Either police yourselves, or someone else will do it for you.
Shame that things have reached this stage.
Another great presentation, Juan.
Until some of Juan's posts, I was always under the impression that the NTSB was a branch of the FAA........
Wonderful Juan
These are aproppiate comments on the issues and recomendations posed by the NTSB.
Your comments are the result of real knowledge and experience. They come from a professional, and at the same time, private, passionate aviator.
Freedom comes with responsibility. You do not have to expect to be government to solve all problems. Or, else what do you want freedom for?
It's Part 91 beneficiaries, be it warbirds, parachute, and even private pilots and amateur builders to address and correct these problems. Such as falling planes over houses and even moving cars, or B200's stall spinning on takeoff. These are not 'unfortunate accidents', it's an established tendency.
It has to be cured, not only because insurance premiums, but because, as Richard VanGrunsven once wrote that as a result of poking that bear, you don't want, you won't even like government step in.
To conclude, this same idea could be applied to the NRA guys.
"decimal one, standby..." , you gotta love pilot chatter.
