GO AROUND! Moose on the Runway?! | IFR Approach & Low Overshoot | Pilot Vlog

- Not too often does this happen! As IFR pilots, we are always taught to overshoot if we don't see the runway, or overshoot if we don't have a stable approach. As VFR Pilots, we are constantly looking outside the cockpit window to scan for obstacles. However, this was a little different. We were set up to fly the RNAV IFR approach runway 35 at Red Deer Airport. THere was light icing conditions, light turbulence, and scattered + overcast cloud layers on the descent. A fair load for a single pilot flying a turboprop airplane IFR. However, as we approached to land, one more curveball was thrown our way... there appeared to be something in the middle of the runway! Both myself and the passengers could see it and we all thought it looked like a moose or a large elk. Surprisingly, the control tower (ATC) wasn't able to see anything! Just to be safe, we decided to overshoot/ go-around and fly over the runway to investigate. What we found wasn't what we suspected, but we learned a very valuable aviation lesson! Before you land, always scan the runway for obstructions. Animals, vehicles, humans, other airplanes and FOD can pose a major risk to any aircraft big or small. From a small Cessna 172 to a Boeing 747, a small obstruction can spell disaster!
So come along on this full instrument approach through the clouds in the Cessna Conquest Turboprop as we descend for a low level flyby, then a low level circuit, and then a landing on Runway 35 to find out what REALLY happened!
I learn new things on every flight so hopefully this video will be a great little bit of pilot training. Private Pilots, Commercial Pilots, Airline Pilots and anyone that flies in an airplane probably has at least one story that relates to aviation safety, and this is an example of one of many lessons I've learned. Enjoy! Subscribe as well, I appreciate the support!

If you are a pilot student, this video is very helpful. But if you are here because somehow you just wanted to know how they do it, you’re in a perfect channel.
Keep it up, Pilot Evan. ✈️
Thanks so much Eli! Means a lot! And thanks for the support!! ❤️
I really love the POV, very nice! i hope you do more of this kind, subbed! 😀
Thanks Chryss! Means a whole bunch that I’ve got some dedicated fans like yourself! Makes the effort of editing these together all worth it in the end! :) :)
As someone doing PPL training in a 172 at the moment, this looks AWESOME!! Love the POV, great video!
Thanks!! I’m glad! Well this airplane is the twin turboprop version of the Cessna. 172. :p keep it up!
Awesome video Evan.. thanks for taking us along.
Thanks a lot Andrew!! :)
Yeah, it's my favorite aviation channel! Forgot about it for a month or two, but it popped on my recommended! Underrated, amazing channel.
Haha thanks! You are still one of my top fans!! And always will be! :) thanks a lot!
@@EvanLuft :D
I fly out of Red Deer and late last summer my friend and I had the exact same experience. Final for 35 in a Mooney and saw what looked like a moose, turned out to be the same runway patch you saw! Tower said that they couldn’t see it either when we asked them. Surprised they haven’t put a note in the tower so the controllers know what’s up.
No way Ron! That’s too funny! I thought I sounded crazy when I said it looked like a moose. Glad you saw it too then. (Please don’t take my medical away TC). Lol link up with me on Insta and let’s keep in touch! I fly in there all the time!
I love your videos. Hello from Texas. Canada flying looks stunning.
I like BB GUMPS. Nice and simple and covers the major items. I was taught the classic BUMPFISCH. Brakes, Undercarriage, Mixture, Pitch, Fuel, Instruments, Switches, Carb heat, Hatches & Harnesses. Still found myself flying a Caravan and wasting time saying "Carb heat - err not required" to myself lol.
This is amazing Thank you for the video
Thanks Andrew!! :)
Greetings from England! Love the vid and appreciate the voice over and clear explanation.
Greetings from canada! :) thanks so much I really appreciate it! Means a lot!!
Awesome video, awesome plane, keep at it!
Thanks a lot jaden!
With all the channels out there, this is one of my absolute favorites. Great cam set up and cool aircraft. Thank you😊
Thanks so much!!! That makes made my day hearing that! Well I’ve got lots more aviation cookies baking in the aviation oven so stay tuned!! Haha do you fly as well? :)
@@EvanLuft oh glad to hear that, i cant wait :) yes, i finished my cpl ( frozen atpl) in august last year, but covid made it almost impossible for low hour pilots to get a job. at least i am working as cabin crew on the A330 right now and have nice layovers on tropical beaches. better than nothing i guess. our chief pilot said i have good chances to get a job on the 320 fleet in the near future. fingers crossed.
greetings from germany.
stay healthy
thats is some cool stuff! where do you fly out of in germany??? That is a beast of an airplane! One day... one day... I'll maybe bounce one down the runway haha. Still havent been to germany but lots of other countries in Europe and Asia! I am currently studying for the ATPL. Omg its been over 14 years since my commercial and I feel like I am flunking already haha!
@@EvanLuft out of FRA :) oh good luck with the exam ! i passed it and you have a lot of real world experience, which certainly helps with the questions. will be a piece of cake for you. i am sure about that. so u are planning to fly the big birds?
@@jojojoman78 haha I will find out soon enough. Honestly, doing the flying I am now has opened a whole other world of aviation for me. The adventure flying aspect. I don't know if I could get this with any airline unless it was a northern airline. But eyes are wide open. Right now I look at every airplane as a "man I'd like to fly that at some point" haha
just want to say, the quality of the video is perfect. im sure your channel will blow up fast.
Thanks a lot! I’m glad you like it! Means a lot to have the support! :) :)
Great Video. Thanks for using the approach plate in the video.
Thanks Jake! I appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it! I find having the approach plate on there helps some of the new pilots follow along, especially student IFR pilots! :)
I love your videos, if you uploaded consistently you’d easily have 200k. Keep having fun!
Thanks a lot!! I appreciate the support and the encouragement! I will keep em coming! :)
Ik This video is 6 moths old, but I just saw it, you need more subs, best production quality ever!
Thanks! I appreciate it!! :)
Great video 👍
Thanks a lot!!! :) 😃
Great video. Love the IFR approach. I wonder how many others had the same experience before the airport did something about that big tar patch. Is it still there?
thanks so much Paul!! means a lot!! Im not sure if it is! I remember they recently made the runway wider!
Nice video and POV!
Quick question - do you fly with the condition levers at low-idle?
Hey Dean! Thanks a lot!! :) on this airplane they only have an ON and OFF position. They don’t have a HI and LOW idle position like in the king airs. :)
This is so badass!!! I can’t wait to take my discovery flight! I can’t to take my daughter on a flight one day when she’s older. She’s only 22 months old now but one day I bet you she’ll wanna fly too 😊
Thanks!! And yes! That will be an exciting day! The first time you solo will be incredible. I remember that so vividly from my flight training!
Hello Evan, great videos…could you recommend or mention a flight simulator that you think is useful
Nice job
Thanks! :)
Watching you for a bit dude and I love the videos. Are you ever going to get ATC audio in the vids?
I love the current set up of explaining the flight, but it would be sick to add in the audio when ATC talks with you as well. Again don’t lose the format you use it’s the best I have seen on CZcams!!
Thanks a lot Callum! And yes, I have the setup ordered to record through the gopro :) so when I get that in I will start recording ATC. And on the first video I will call you out as the one that convinced me to upgrade my setup! :p :) thanks for the support man! :)
@@EvanLuft love the vids man. Helping me get through my CFI. Makes me excited to fly every time I watch. Fly safe brother
I'm nowhere near ever getting my pilot license I just think it's very interesting what you guys do! New sub🙋🏾♀️
Awe thanks so much! :) never say never! Where are you based out of?
@@EvanLuft San Diego CA.
Nice video sir
Thanks a lot!! :)
Greetings from Mexico, Isla Mujeres i'm martin the sailor I liked your videos
Omg Martin!!!!! Haha Buenos Tardes! Haha crazy! Thanks a lot!!! :) Can’t wait to come back!
When on approach you mentioned you had 4 blade props, but when you landed they were 3, was the end of the video from a prior landing at the airport? Nice looking Conquest by the way, My dad worked his way up to the 414A same cabin but slower
Actually, I forgot that this airplane has 3 blade props. I fly 2 other conquests with 4 blade props so I unintentionally said 4 blades in this video haha. All the Same footage from that flight. This airplane actually has the 3 blade though lol. :p
Great video. Was this repair on the Notams?
No not that we saw, but it had been a while since I had flown so it may have been fixed posted and cleared in that time period :p
Is your vnav coupled or are you just pitching down manually?
The old bird doesn’t couple too well so…. Manually pitching with the pitch wheel on the Cessna 1000 autopilot. Haha I find it tends to chase the glide slope at times so I just manually fly the pitch.
Awesome video!!! very interesting. What video editing program do you use? I would love to get into making a few good videos a year. I have a vans rv6 that i think i could make some interesting content with!
Hey Alex! I’m using Final Cut. Where are you located?!
@@EvanLuft Thanks! I’m in Bancroft Ontario
Ahh! A fellow Canadian!!! :) message me on Insta let’s maybe link up!
Since it's a towered airport, would there have been time to ask tower what that was so you could continue the approach and land on the first approach? Good videos tho so thx for doing them
Thanks Rod! We actually did ask the tower but for some reason they were saying they couldn’t see anything on the runway at all. It was strange. Now we know why haha
Great video! I’d have done the same thing - better to be safe in this critical part of the flight, the landing. Just posted a video of my flights into four US airports - one of them uncontrolled, which I don’t particularly like (one plane was landing from the opposite direction, and they were not on frequency!)
Yeah! Haha I will check them out right now! That’s even scarier!!
Clear Moose!
Hahaha invisible moose!
Sir is gear and undercarriage not the same when using GUMP check before landing? I thought the first G is for gas?
You are correct! I don’t know why but over the past 10 years, I have somehow morphed it into gear haha. No idea why. One of those natural things that I didn’t realize happened hahah :p
👌❤️
:)
At 12:03 you mention that they are four blade props which made my brain.exe crash. After a quick reboot I realised why that happened. My brain could see that it was three blades spinning even though I consciously could not.
You are right! I made a mistake and forgot that this airplane only has three blade props. All of the other Cessna conquests that I fly actually have the four blade props on them :p this is one of the very few left that have three blades :) good eye!
Awesomee stuff man , what’s the typical cruise speed for the plane?
Thanks a lot!! Typically I can get 255 to 265 true at 22k. But pulled back for max range its 240 or so. Never need to do that though as it has range for over 1200 nm. Its a great airplane. This one has the three blade props actually in this video. Most of the other ones I fly have 4 blade props which are quiter too in cruise.
In GUMPS check, I think Gear and Undercarriage are the same thing. How about G for Gas on fullest tank?
Yes, you are correct. And somehow through many years it has evolved in my brain to be g-gear and u-verify gear is down in the side mirror. But now that you mentioned it, I will probably find a way to incorporate that haha
I'm loving these videos. I love the shot of you touching the exhaust pipe at the end. Haha how could you not touch it?? Just have to see if its hot!
Haha thanks a lot Austin! :) means a lot! And yes those baby’s are a tad spicy 🌶. Been flying these birds for abut 10 years now and they still fascinate me. You fly as well??
@@EvanLuft I do! About 350TT, IFR, Comm, Multi. Just building time towards the airlines. Started a few years ago.
@@austingunn734 Thats great Austin! Good to hear that. And always as inspiration... I know lots of pilots getting some awesome jobs at low time flying jets even I wish I could fly in at some point. One fella I know flew international medevac all over the planet in a G150 at maybe 500 hours. My advice... network network network and just make lots of aviation friends! :)
@@EvanLuft thank you! I'm working hard to get that networking in. Flying corporate is what I'd really love to do. Thanks! And keep up the great content!
In a few of your videos, you mention doing a "BB GUMPS" check. Nothing wrong with that - I do something similar. However, what seems odd to me is the G and the U (you say they stand for 'gear' and 'undercarriage'). What are you doing differently between those two items? It's been about 25 years since I was in primary flight training, but anytime I've been taught to use a GUMPS check, it has always been "gas" and "undercarriage." To me, 'gear' and 'undercarriage' are both referring to the same thing (landing gear, a.k.a. undercarriage).
muy suave el aterrizaje muy bien, esperaba un campo corto para no pasar el charly pero esta bien. Soy prolijo y eso es mas valioso que la nafta jaja por lo menos en el primer mundo jaja
Your backup AI has COVID I think. Great video, thanks!
You noticed! Yes it is being replaced on its annual right now actually! Haha
I might have missed it but there was no ATC to ask what it was? Safe travels
There was but they couldn’t see it well on the runway either. It was a strange situation! Haha thanks you too mike!! :)
What kind of plane do you fly?
Cessna 425
kewl ✈️🛫🛬
Please question ❓
You are a pravet pilot or not???
Commercial pilot
Dude, where do you get the money to fly a plane like this? Operating costs for these planes are not cheap. What do you do for a living?
It looks like your attitude gyro disagrees with the AI on the PFD a little bit.
Good eye! We actually have that being replaced right now!
Lesson learned - To go around unless your name is Trent Palmer
Haha 😂
I’m 15 and tomorrow I Have my trail flight
Are you in uk
No I’m in canada!
@@EvanLuft hmmm
RATMO GAS, no?
Haha that’s even better than mine. I just changed the GAS to AGS lol no idea why, but I’ve heard so many different acronyms that are better than mine haha.
@@EvanLuft it's the first time I'm hearing of the acronym. I just thought AGS was a missed-opportunity to make it sound like a word :)
hello I love your videos but if you could put subtitles in Spanish it would be the best
I Ariana! Gracias! I will see if I can do that! :) I’m not sure how to yet but I will try
