  • Join us as we fly our Cessna 310 IFR to St Louis Downtown (CPS) for a RNAV low approach followed by the "Arch Tour". We then fly to Decatur (DEC) for dinner. We finish the flight by landing back home at Aurora (ARR) just after the sun set. This time, things go mostly as planned.

    Happened upon this video today. Been watching your latest videos for the past month or so. I couldn’t get over how good Jaime is on the radio and how well both of you work together as a crew. Most importantly you both have fun! And you both are very down to earth human beings! Thank you for genuinely being yourselves. I’m glad to have “met” you.
    So now I know Jamie is a controller. I’m guessing Kevin that you are too? Jaime, it’s interesting to hear your responses and procedures when talking with ATC. It’s also interesting to hear a controller’s point of view on things while said controllers are crewing an airplane in the ATC environment. Keep up the good work. You guys do an excellent job!!
    I’ve been flying professionally (corporate aviation) all of my life. Soloed at 16. You are both great teachers. Thank you for your time putting videos out there so that we can all learn from you!

    This is my first viewing of your posts. This has to be the most educational video I’ve ever watched, respective of ATC relations and GA small aircraft for both IFR and VFR communications. Thank you! All of my flying has been out of MWC, BLV, CPS and now BMI, so this video was especially enjoyable to me. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!

    That was a great tour of the Arch. I live about 250 miles west of there, just east of Kansas City. Been to the Arch many times but only saw it from the ground up, this is the first time from the air and it looked spectacular. Love the communication between the two of you and I really enjoy the tutorial you give including ATC along the way not to mention some great video views, excellent camera work. I'm so glad you explain what your doing and why, one great channel and will definitely be waiting for more. Your a great team with an excellent channel, keep the video's coming and happy flying.

      @@310Pilot I have a question. I have seen this in several other videos that you have made. Just before takeoff you run the mixture levers full forward and then the throttles. Shouldn't they be already there? I mean when you start the engines they should be full rich. Do you pull them back after start for some reason?

    Great to see you both again and what a great way to Communicate with ATC . Your First officer handles the Radios very well. Nice to file IFR and I enjoyed your takeoff and the sound of power and like you said your rate of climb was indicating 1500 feet per minute and to get lean of peak temperatures for both engines is somewhat a challenge to not let the cyclinder head temp get to hot at your present altitude . Winter flying is so much better for performance and cruise. Thank you for sharing the low approach over the airport to the ST Louis tour from the Air .

    Great video you two. By being Controllers, your communications with other Controllers brings an awesome perspective from the usual CZcams channels. Even though she's not a pilot, she can rival the in-flight pros. I could listen to her voice all day. Keep the videos coming!

    WOW!!! That was a really great flight, Guys. Really enjoyed the ATC communications, and all the detail you gave us during the flight. I’m sure it is really handy having her in the cockpit handling all the radio work for you, and she did a great job. You can tell she really knows what she is talking about, when talking with ATC. Plus, that allowed you to focus on flying the aircraft. Flying with you two, and with both of you being ATC Controllers, it feels like we are experiencing every level of the flight with you. Too bad about the batteries dying when they did, but that’s technology for you. Enjoyed the view of the Arch, too. You’ve got you a keeper there with that special Lady, Sir. Keep the videos coming, and thanks for sharing them with us. God Bless, and safe flying.

    While not a pilot myself, have a couple of friends that I get to fly with - while not a long flight from Aurora, go fly into Clow Int'l for breakfast - fantastic little diner there, on a sunny summer Sunday that place is as busy as ORD with pilots flying in for $100 omelettes. Another great diner is found at KLNR - Lone Rock WI - about 50 miles NW of Madison. And the airport in Sheboygan has an outstanding restaurant as well - great dinner spot, fly home after dark, pass the Milwaukee and Chicago lakefronts down your right wing, head west to Aurora after you pass Lake Calumet and avoid the MDW Class Bravo.
    I'm hooked - keep producing great stuff!

    I drove over that bridge there from I-70 to I-44 back in '99 on my way to AZ from MA. This flight brought back some memories! Looks much more spectacular from the air than it does from the side window of an '86 Grand Marquis. ☺️
    Love the flat landscape out there. Looks amazing from the air, covered in snow. Thanks for another great vid! 👍

    • @310Pilot
      @310Pilot  Před 6 lety +1

      Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it and it could bring back some memories for you. I grew up in southern Appalachia and miss the hills/mountains. That said, around here if you have a problem there are a lot of good farm fields to use in an emergency.

    • @SmittySmithsonite
      @SmittySmithsonite Před 6 lety

      Yeah, that's definitely a good thing! I noticed that when you were taking off in the beginning of the vid - I was saying to myself, "Wow - lots of options for engine out landing!" Around here, you'll be smashing trees, no way around it. There's a few more options where I live than around most of the state, but, there's always going to be either a tree, or wires involved if you come down unexpectedly.
      I'm planning on buying a paramotor this summer (quad or trike launch) - cheap way to get myself in the air. I'm already hooked on aviation (thanks to Greg - Premier 1 Driver - blame him 😁), so one way or the other, I'm getting myself airborne. 🙂 Someday I may just be able to get my pilot's license - who knows what the future holds. :)

    I used to fly club airplanes (C-172, C-182, PA-28R) from SUS in the 1970s and took our version of the arch tour (SUS east to the river, north, then west and back to SUS counterclockwise around the city) many evenings. It was always a great time. We also visited most of the airports within about 100 miles (UIN, COU, CGI, SPI, MWA) including DEC, where my aunt and uncle lived. Thanks for the great video. It brought back memories.

      @@310Pilot Before TCAs we could fly right over the middle of Lambert 2001 AGL without calling anyone. Not smart but legal. Those are also the VOR-DME days without even RNAV. If they weren't busy at Scott AFB you could shoot PAR approaches to minimums. No landings, of course. Thanks again.

      You guys can answer this, is it possible to visit and “tour” the local app/dep radar facilities, and if so, how do you get that arranged?

    • @310Pilot
      @310Pilot  Před 6 lety +2

      That sounds like an awesome trip! We are planning to do that one as well one day. Look forward to seeing it if you share it. Reference the tour: Yes, any pilot can request and will almost always receive a tour of any FAA ATC facility. Just call the facility, say you are a local pilot and ask for a tour. If you need help finding a number to call, let me know the facility and I will get it for you.

    Great flight, you have one helluva co pilot there helping to reduce the workload. Fantastic view of the arch although it did seem a bit bumpy at times. This is the 2nd video in a row iv'e watched where you miss out on dinner, 3rd time lucky maybe ? Love the lights among the snow on approach.

    • @310Pilot
      @310Pilot  Před 6 lety

      Thank you Spiro! Sorry about the camera there. Wanted to keep it on the outside view since flying past the Arch was the main part but I didn't have it stabilized correctly. I'm still learning but will keep working to make these better. Not sure why we are in such a flying for food slump right now. We will get it next time!! I wasn't sure how the return at dusk would look...turned out pretty cool. I'll have to toy with that some more.

Great to have you both to give me another ride to Tour the Architecture look over St. Louis on this cold day and the Performance on takeoff to climb out of as you said at 1500 feet per minute which is very good and lean at peak on all cylinders is great with a cylinder head monitoring both engines helps out a lot to save fuel means a lot .As air traffic controllers your First officer does a professional job on ATC communication that a real help to you while you are flying and navigating and looking out for other traffic during the RNAV approach to the low pass over the airport. Thank for sharing and I'll be ready for the next cross country flight.

That Insight monitor we have is awesome for LOP and general data! The miles per gallon really increase LOP...she runs smooth now but I am anal and will keep tweaking the injectors till I get them how I want. My FO is amazing! I'm a very luck guy.
