This was really a good video! I'm 62 years old and a non-current private pilot. Just older and moved on to other things and no longer have the bug. This is just and excellent lesson in judgement. You have a plan. You know the weather is iffy. You have a plan to bypass it. Then, ATC wants you to go another way. There is a period of uncertainty, but, knowing you can turn around if need be you utilize all your resources, including the space between your ears, and monitor the conditions, and minimizing the risk for a successful trip. Always safety first. For those out there who have aspirations and are training to become aviators these videos are simply invaluable. This technology was not available in the old days. Man, if I were coming up I'd be glued to this channel. Your essentially logging unofficial flight time from the comfort of your own home. Knowledge is power and I think that's why Steveo is doing this. Kudos!
Very well said, couldn't agree more with your take on this video!
Controllers have a much wider view of the situation, a sort of hive mind if you will, so put some faith in them :)
You are a real pro for giving props to ATC. They are extremely helpful every day.
GIVING PROPS ??? What is it ?
I see you learned a valuable lesson on that flight, ATC was right about the route even tho you had a hard time figuring out why but you were smart enough to be a good listener. Some times the ones that think they aren't ever wrong pay dearly for not taking advice ;-/ Good job Steve!!!
I read on one of the aviation sites I follow the following rule of thumb about weather radar, "Green takes the bugs off. Yellow takes the paint off. Red takes the wings off." The alternatives often are not safe/sorry, rather safe/smoking hole in the ground. You're a pro, that's why I follow your channel.
That rule of thumb rings true. Even standing on the ground in 'Yellow', can actually get hard to breathe... there is so much water, at velocity, it almost replaces the air.
(Here in Oz I see a few Red/Blacks on the BOM radar, very small and short lived thankfully).
I love how Steve has a greater urge to live and to get there safe rather than to just get there. And he clearly explains how he feels..hes not a robot that doesnt worry about anything.
Great decision making and love the commentary and how you explain everything
hi Niko!
Niko my friend , I also love your videos , Your a BOSS

Wow, hadn't seen that! Hawkeye!
I can’t believe what that says. Someone should get arrested for that
Its obvious your just trying to point it out
Sounds that bring me joy in life...

Always love the engine shut down at the end that others leave off, sorta concludes the flight :)
Whirlynerds ah... good point. I should do that!
Hi Steve,
I’m enjoying your videos, especially the ones with cb’s. I’m retired now, I use to fly CRJ/Q400’s, based in Canada. My best memories are the stormy day flights. Dodged lots of cb’s between Toronto and gulf coast, Houston, Austin, New Orleans. I discovered the best way to read weather radar was to paint ground. My favourite saying was “ground is good”. It’s the best way or the only way to measure attenuation. The more ground you can paint means less precipitation attenuates the radar pulse. CB’s are easy to recognize, they cast long shadows, but, this method is also very good for depicting shadows created by stratus rain and even dry cloud. The more ground you can paint it one direction is the best direction to go. I know this method is contrary to how most pilots operate weather radar, they like to eliminate ground returns, but it works better to paint ground, especially when your dealing with embedded CB’s. It helps to learn the lay of the land by using your weather radar on clear days, get familiar with how far you can paint ground, identify the land marks on your routes, the Smokey mountains north of Atlanta, the Great Lakes, the Gulf coast, etc. Keep producing the videos, they’re great entertainment, happy flying.
Great job, humility is one of your best traits, that we should all learn from.
Love the Hendrix bumper music! You find the greatest music for us old guys!
I love it. too. But that's a clear copyright infringement, and people do get sued over this stuff. I know of several podcasters who have been hammered in the 6-figures for posting pics from Google on their website. I love Hendrix, but not THAT much!
Started flighttraining last week :) extremely satisfying living my childhood dream 😊
How's it going 2 years later?!
When I learned to fly in 1990 in Sanford FL I would build time for my commercial by flying almost exclusively at night building 190 hours solo flight time. My favorite route was Sanford over to Fort Myers and then across the everglades to Miami. Those everglades look like a black hole at night. Putting along in the C152s I would always spy the areas of open water as emergency landing spots at night....thoughts of surviving a water landing at night only to become gator food filled my mind...yet I did it night after night. LOVED IT SO MUCH!
Eastern airlines 401..
Lol! Love it!
First you would be food by mosquitoes
Watching a pilot at work is so satisfying especially pressing/turning so many buttons and knobs and knowing what/when to press is something amazing and satisfying! salute to all the pilots out there!
AS AN AIRCRAFT PILOT AND PARA GLIDER PILOT I HAVE NOT HAD A SINGLE INJURY IN 30 YEARS DUE TO ALWAYS PLACING SAFETY FIRST AND ALWAYS LISTENING AND LEARNING FROM OTHER PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF. YOU ARE A TRUE CREDIT TO THE AVIATION WORLD AND I THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE TROUBLE YOU TAKE IN SHARING YOUR VIDEOS. ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!!!!!!! DEREK SOUTH AFRICA
Thanks for sharing.....I used to live in Atlanta and have done that flight several times down to Miami....Once the pilots said "buckle up and hold on" ...."don't even think about getting out of your seats"..
You catch that shoutout at 27:25 Steveo? Haha! Great video as always man!
And at 30:54 when the tower says 'welcome back'.
Ha! I caught that, too!
Happened twice actually. Feels like home I guess )
Did I miss something here?
I came across that and had to replay it just to make sure, yes someone said "steveo!" Good laughs XD.
Thanks for talking through your weather decisions! Enjoyed the meet-up in the Bose tent at OSH!
Nice, above standard for all your brilliant videos. The best pilot youtuber
I have a grand total of about 10 minutes of fixed wing time but from what I've seen in your videos, the TBM must be a real joy to fly. Well done!!
Like the way you pronounce the word 'three' like a Jamaican. Reminds me of my very first flight instructor back in Jamaica, we used to dodge the storms as we flew around the island.🛫
For controllers the correct pronunciation of 3 is “tree”.
@@willyt7241 That's how I was taught to say it in the Navy for proper radio technique. Five was "fife", and nine is "niner".
I just started IFR training this week. I was at the edge of my seat watching you going through the storm. Awesome video.
As always Sir Great job single pilot fun. Safe travels and continue to have the time of your life ..
great video, esp with showing all the descision making going on. Avoiding get-there-itis. And the high value of working together with ATC. Everyone was doing a very good job.
Im a flight sim pilot I just bought the Hotstart TBM 900 for Xplane11 there's a livery call Steveo!! Nice..
Student pilot and just got it myself
cool. 29:48 I note your left thumb never touched the trim when you dropped the gear. I was expecting a nose-down pitch when all that drag hit.
Nice Flight, SteveO. Thanks for the ride in the right seat.
Cheers from Louisiana.
There's something you don't see every day 2:07 ! A Dornier 328-300 !! Cool beans.
G Crauwels I was wondering what that was, it looks like a mini BAE 146
G Crauwels Reminds me of the BAE 146 with two engines. The BAE has four engines I'm sure you know that lol
@@briantampabay7403 Got to fly in an Air France Bae 146 a couple times in UK.. pretty cool regional jet.
G Crauwels I have taken the BAE 146 out of London City about 3 years ago.
There’s a firefighting company where I live that has dozens of them.
One of the best-selling pilots I've seen on CZcams. I would fly with him any day.
Grest job Steveo. Shout out to Atlanta for making the right call.
Thank you, Steveo, for the VERY informative videos! I've passed my ground school written but at my age have not proceeded past 10-11 hours in the left seat. My flight enjoyment comes from Microsoft Flight Sim Steam edition which can be flown as simply or as complex as one wishes. I've learned most of my advanced work from watching videos like this one. In addition to my commercial class (long ago), by watching your videos, and then go to my simulator and try it. I now enjoy flying through bad Wx, and perform DME arcs, ILS, RNAV and GPS approaches and when you show us an approach plate, I know exactly what I'm looking at! For a disclaimer (for 'other' eyes that may be reading this): I understand that Steve's videos are not for formal instruction purposes but for entertainment only.) I appreciate your simple, direct explanations of your tasks as you're doing them. Love Mr. Schappert's instructions, too, but he gets very wordy and the point is lost in his over-explanations. I have his book and enjoy his videos, too. Thanks again for the GREAT videos, Steveo, looking forward to more.
Two things. I'm a professional photographer/videographer and an ATP rated pilot. I'm 75 now, but in the mid '90s I flew DC-3s on the Summer Airshow circuit. About shooting video of propeller driven airplanes, in shots that include the prop or props, set your shutter speed at normal, which is 1/60th of a second. This speed won't strobe the prop. Any shutter speed above 1/60th will make the prop appear to move slower, and you will see each blade.
In the DC-3, we were traveling all over the country and back again to get to the various airshows. On days like you are showing on this flight, we always made it by staying low. I have a lot of mountain flying experience and T-storm flying in Helio Couriers and DC-3s. The main rule is "stay dry!" We found that ceilings of 2,000 ft. AGL or higher were the norm under a line of storms. On several flights, we wove our way between the showers and watched the associated lightning strikes. The scene was often incredibly beautiful and sometimes surreal, and the turbulence was never more than light. Often Center couldn't see us, and we enjoyed listening to the airliners and corporate jets nervously asking for deviations as tops were sometimes over 60,000ft. on some days as we flew through with minor ten degree deviations to miss a rain shower. This is a different kind of flying than most pilots are used to, however, keep it in mind for a situation where it might be the only way through.
Read, "Fate Is The Hunter" by Ernest Gann.
I'm really enjoying your videos! The headset sounded great by the way. I haven't flown in decades. Got my private and commercial single engine back in the 80's, left aviation to be a teacher (physics!). Now retired and wishing to get wings again, but your videos will have to do! Love the detail and you explain everything so clearly. Keep the videos coming! You got lots of fans out here!!
Glad you listened to the Controllers, your decision would have left you SOL. Keep safe.
I always remember Col. Potter on MASH. When the camp came under attack, he asked a green young recruit, "Are You Scared Son?" He replied "No Sir". Col. Potter says, "Well, if you had any brains, you would be!" Sometimes it's easy to forget our good sense and we just want to get home. Unfortunately, sometimes those choices end up fixing it so you never get home ever again. Getting to any place is not so important that you take unnecessary risks. Well done with a reasonable amount of caution Steveo.
Great job handling those adverse conditions Steve-o, I know I wouldn't have been as calm and honestly would've probably aborted the flight or landed at a nearby alternate to wait for the weather to pass. Guess that's where your experience comes into play. Very well played sir.
Wonderful videos, I admire you how you as a single pilot do it all together with your explanations Greetings from Austria
Next time in Atl at PDK you should do a interview with Pat Epps. at Epps Aviation! A ledged in Ga Aviation! He saved a p38 from the Polar Ice cap! Great story. His father sold Orville and Wilber Wright air planes at start of Aviation in GA! Viewers probably would love the stories.. Just Saying! Cheers!
Glacier Girl! Heluva good story.
@@b1bmsgt Pat Epps and Epps family legends in GA aviation! Sweet Tea , Pecan Pie and airplane's at PDK, EPPS style!
You'll notice he doesn't just babble but everything he says is either critical, important, or informative, a cool-headed operator with clear concise speech. Great job.
I really appreciate your willingness to make a 180, set down and wait it out if needed. That is an attitude that keeps pilots alive.
Steveo great vid however you have a basic misunderstanding of upper level weather.
Storm tops are in the same air mass you are and the tops are moving at the same time you are.
Hence unless your looking far into the distance ie 100nm plus the radar picture is correct.
So you dont need to look left or right based on crab as the weather around you is moving as well.
Hence onboard radar view directly in front is clear so you are clear irrespective of wind as the weather is influenced ie moving as well.
We use the HUD on the 787 when visual for weather avoidance in addition to radar and can predict to within 1 wingspan if you will clip a cloud.
Obviously we give storms a far wider birth but the basics are the same weather is in the same air mass you are so you are flying in so they move to.
Great vids and entertainng viewing keep em coming.
TBM looks like a great little aircraft enjoy it!
I was kinda wondering the same thing. I'm no pilot, but I get what you are saying.
I think I get what you're saying. That's interesting. You can look left all you want on the radar, but it's the weather in front of you that shifts left (just as you are) that you want to worry about.
But if your nose is pointing for example 30 degrees to the left to compensate for the wind which is going from left to right then you should look 30 degrees to the right at the radar screen right? Cause that's where you're going? Or do I miss something here?
the-dutch-Hollander no...if you are laying off 30 degrees of drift the weather around you is also under the influence of that very same wind as well. Storms move just like aircraft move across the ground under the effect of the same winds. So drift is what your laying offf because you to fly a track relative to the ground. If the weather ie storms where stationary then yes however the storm tops around you are moving with that very wind as you are. A great example is if you are laying off drift and your Nav display is painting a storm on track ie right on your magenta(Boeing) or green(Airbus) line. So by the time you get to where the weather WAS its no longer there it will have moved off in the direction of the wind. The only contrary weather style to that is orographic storms which generally are caused by air rising because of mountains so they tend to just sit there as they are powered by wind rising after being forced tonrise by high terrain. Free standing cells move with the wind and weather system hence where you are pointing is what concerns you.
If you are using RNAV/GPS or navigating on an airway, you are not drifting with the clouds or wind. You will crab with a crosswind. You stay the course and the weather upwind of you will slide into your path. Using weather radar is a skill that must be learned. In my commercial airline days, we each had separate weather controls. I could look up, down, sideways, range and gain while my FO could be looking elsewhere. One sweep was mine and the next was the FO's. It was important to continually move the view. All the technical stuff was good to understand but not much help when in actual weather.
Well flown Steveo, brilliant information, your verbal explanation is top shelf even for seasoned aviators. I urge all new and those who wish to fly to get your friends and colleagues to watch this aviator in his office.
@2:13
That is the slickest "Like and Subscribe" line I have EVER seen!!! VERY NICE!!!
and you are right; good call by the Atlanta controller.
When you were talking about speed limits I imagined some police helicopter hovering somewhere and pointing radar guns at planes.
@JSRJ B LMAO
Another great teaching moment for us low timers Steveo. Oh, music was awesome match!
I have 42 years with the FAA. You should contact ATL Center with the date and times they helped with routing west. When controllers have their evaluations any positive comments are a great help.
Good show! One thing I’ve noticed of late is the center controllers where severe weather is really a player is that they are awesome for the most part in helping to find ways around the weather. But their radar can only see the precipitation and not the other cumulus that also have the vertical development and can make for a rough ride. Loved how you explained the way the radar and NEXRAD worked. I flew with an individual that tried to make inflight weather decisions using the MY Radar App! Fool!
I really like watching these bad weather videos that you put up. I've seen a lot of those Aviation Accident Case Study videos, and I see you have good aeronautical decision making for situations that brought down those other pilots. One huge one is how the Nexrad is on a delay. Also how you aren't affected by "Gotta get there-itus"
Your best videos are those in which you subvert the nasty weather. :)
You are humble and flexible. Two very important ingredients that every pilot performance soup.
Excellent flying skills on full display today. That was a very good lesson in communication between you and the guys on the ground. Thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed this flight. You deserve a big thumbs up 👍for the entire trip.
Steveo.. I absolutely love your videos, I watch every single one as soon as you upload them. You should consider getting a go pro and zoom it in on your weather radar. I notice in most of your videos, you reference the weather but we are unable to see what you're pointing at. Just a suggestion. I think it would be a great addition to your videos. Stay safe!
On 02:10 i saw that in the back there Steve :D Nice Video as always !
Tug and glider pilot watching here from North Wales 🇬🇧 !!
I got my PPL at Ormond Beech Aviation in 1992.
Flew down to Key West in an Arrow lV
Happy memories landing at Flagler, Datona and Sanford International were fantastic helping me gain my night rating allocating me a runway all to myself!!!!
Wish I had gone for my ATPL but sadly it wasn't to be.
Just fly for fun now 4 times a week which is fab 😀
Thank you Steveo for another great video. I really liked seeing the Sikorsky S-76 landing at Peach Tree, brings back lots of memories from my pre-retirement days at Sikorsky WPB.
Awesome video as always! I just dont understand why the thumbs down from people. You explain your flights from start to finish, as always thanks for sharing ...
Those people shouldn't even be on here
@@georges924 I agree
Waooo, I just watched the whole video unintentionally. Very interesting, good job.👍
Great video Steve. I am not a pilot but have flown to a large lump of the planet commercially and always appreciated that the guys up front really earned their pay check when the weather or ground conditions were challenging.
This flight reminds me of an experience I had in that same area.
One day when I was a soloed student pilot out of Tamiami I decided to fly out over the practice area West of the airport, do a few maneuvers, then a couple of touch n goes at Homestead, and back to Tamiami.
Departing Runway 9R in my Instructor’s brand new Cessna 152 I noticed thunderheads developing over the Everglades. So, my first thought was to change plans and do a couple of touch n goes at Homestead then back to Tamiami. That thought had no sooner flitted through my head when I realized that this VERY nasty looking storm was building toward me at warp speed.
I did an immediate 180 as I contacted Tamiami tower and requested a straight in approach. As you can imagine, I was very close to the runway … when my altimeter suddenly looked like a fan and the ground was moving in the wrong direction; away from me. I was caught in an updraft.
Realizing the implication of being shot out the top of a giant thunderhead at 50,000 feet with no oxygen and no cold weather gear, in a 152, I pointed the nose at the ground and firewalled it. Indicated airspeed was well into yellow and the struts were screaming but I was making slow progress toward the runway.
Suddenly I broke out of the updraft and landed; touchdown less than a minute later. I taxied barely below liftoff speed and almost dragged a wing turning off the runway. Barely got it tied down just as the storm hit with ferocity. The plane was literally straining at the tie-down ropes.
I was drenched by the time I got to my car but glad to be in it instead of trying to make it back down from whatever altitude that updraft was going to take me.
That was an important lesson for me. Never again. Those big Florida thunderboomers are dangerous.
My instructor is definitly gonna yell at me if I say " Here comes the flash" lol
Usually Steve uses the correct terms. He used to say "in the box" until he caught so much shit for it. Flash isn't too bad of an aviation slang. It's actually pretty accurate. But yes, don't say that stuff around a CFI and never say it on a check ride with a DPE.
00UncommonSense00 Is there a correct term? Other than repeat what ATC ask for?
@@StrikerFin Yes. When they say "squawk 1234" you read back "squawking 1234" instead of "1234 in the box". Many will use that slang instead of the correct way. Same with "Ident" you say "Ident" not flashing. Just proper etiquette
You don’t need to say “ident” or “with the flash.” The ident IS your acknowledgment. Also, when they they identify your position with radar contact, you don’t need to respond. All unnecessary comms.
00UncommonSense00 p
I'm a simple man, I see a new steveo1kinevo video I click and watch.
Nice Tunes Steveo !!
Great job Steveo,your video brings back memories when I flew for Flight Express out of orlando executive. I see A lot of instruments have changed since I last flew, love how you can see the airplane and where your at,nice. Looking forward to your next video.Hal Hatmaker
Is it possible to explain the operation of the cabin pressure controller? I've never used that type before.
Ron Valiant He explains it many times in other videos. Just keep watching.
Plus, he very rarely ever answers a question for some reason...
Wow Steve-O you are amazing! I was getting nervous for you! We have been having some really nasty weather over Central Florida the past couple of weeks! I always say to my wife those Pilots are really earning their pay today! Keep them coming my friend, and stay safe! Can't wait to see you next video!
How do you avoid those bumps i see you fly through??
I would be scared to death!
I recently found this channel and I’m so hooked. I’m not looking to be a pilot and actually have only been in a plane a few times but I’m really fascinated watching him fly this plane. Makes me wish I would’ve learned to fly.
kid, the quote "balls to the walls" refers to the throttle balls to instrument panel. are you feeling me kid? its something i learned with the Navy.
I really enjoyed this video and appreciated the way you handled navigating the weather. Also, was that a Dornier 328 on the ramp at PDK? They're such cool looking planes.
yeah it was a Dornier 328
Im 12 and I would really love to do this job!!! The TBM850 looks like a cool and fun plane to fly!
Where I live we can go to flight school at 12 or 14 I can't remember and they will let us learn about planes, what the instruments do and how to use them and lets us fly the planes (With adult supervision of course, and also in the right seat) Any tips on how I can get started and rack some hours so I can be prepared for actual flight school and get my private flights license?
Water. ; I’d suggest completing your medical requirements, and ground school before beginning flying lessons. I got that perspective from Jason Schappert at MzeroA.com. He’s got over 10,000 hours, and is very accomplished. Good luck!
Water. First save up $10,000 for training. Go from there.
Cant stop watching you dude. Keep going for the rest of my life and your life :) Greetings from South Germany
Nice to meet you at Osh! You seemed nervous meeting all your followers, totally understand that! You do a great jobs on your vids, please keep them coming. Love the music and wish I had your pilot skills, I’m working on it, you give me a + drive, thanks for that!!
27:24 "SteveO!"
Steveo,
I’m not the least bit familiar with turbine engines, so this may be a dumb question. When you start the engine, you always take us thru the starting procedures, and how you are watching for a hot start. How often does a potential hot start happen, and if you have to abort a start, can you retry it immediately?
With FADEC controls, it does not happen as often as it did without them, back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's. The usual wait time for cooldowns was about an hour for Garretts. And obviously an look over for any problems before trying again.
@@dannyversmoren1284 Danny, correction, it would be nighthawke that said "70's, 80's, and 90's."
@@tjf9948 TY, I've edited it!
Several conditions can cause it. A weak start battery which yields insufficient rpm while fuel being introduced. Recently shut down motor that’s still hot. Tail wind pushing hot air into the compressor. Extreme high ramp ambient temps. Failing fuel control or nozzles.
Cut fuel. Motor to cool and wait a while. Each acft is a little different.
great job all around, I have not flown in 20 years, now I know why I learned the hard way, I
learned in the 70s. instrument training without all the gadgets. How things have changed.
Outstanding. Excellent to see your strategic vs tactical planning regarding wx avoidance. Also that “get-there-itis” was mentioned, & put to sleep early. A really great instructional CZcams in single pilot IFR management. Thanks so much.
It would be cool if the GPS and radar could talk, and show you a ground track line on the radar display...
Absolutely, you should make it a startup !!
More advanced avionics do that.
Garmin has several different models of that very tech for aviation and marine use.
@@teddyballgame4823 yep. It's just 851TB is an older aircraft that doesn't have the newer tech which is integrated. The newer 850s and other models have Garmin glass cockpits which overlay the onboard radar on the nav display. The 850s starting in 2008 came with the G1000 cockpit and the newer models I think use the G3000 suite.
@@CAPFlyer Thank you for the info.
Sounds like bad weather but once you get above those clouds the view is amazing
Great vlog story techniques. Weather seems to be the main antagonist and obstacle - you overcome the obstacle with a little help from the guys and gals in remote dark rooms. Great shoutout to Atlanta and Jacksonville in this video. My next door neighbor is a controller - so I have a vlog idea. How about asking the FAA if you can tour Miami center for your vlog - maybe inspire future controllers as well as pilots about the professionals in our ears who help pilots do what we love. Fly!
sigh
Simon Perry If would be helpful if you added some context to your sigh.
The best video
choreography
ever, a great balance between showing data on the right and the real-time cockpit view. Excellent job.
Thanks for the ride along! 🤙🤠
Thanks for the ride!
Can you move your seat back any? You could get knee-capped in turbulent weather!
Steve thank you for all of your hard word sharing your flying with all of your fans
I watch your videos a lot. I have 44 years of flying. The choice going through those clouds was excellent.
The controller cleared you for the ILS but you were on the RNAV?
Oops. Someone got dinged.
Ironically, right after he talked about making sure the pilot and ATC are both on the same page.
The ATIS stated the ILS was out of service and to expect the RNAV. With very short time left to capture I can’t keep correcting every mistake from a controller.. wrong altitude, wrong approach clearance, etc etc
I guess the only super important aspect of that approach clearance than needed clarification was the altitude given. The ILS and RNAV 9L share the same minimums and fixes except for one on the missed approach but both end at Janus.
I noticed this as well but since the approaches are virtually the same anyway it doesn´t really matter. As long as the GNS530W shows LPV the minima are the same. He was VMC too and the missed approach is identical for practical purpose. No big deal.
Hey Steveo, how do you get to fly an empty plane around? Are you flying to pick up passengers?
I started watching these videos a few days ago and it seems like the passengers are those who are watching the video. ?? The TBM is an expensive to own and operate plane. What is going on here ?
One way trip. He doesn't record when he has passengers on-board. Flys one way with passengers then flys back
Phew....edge of my seat.....nice flying and glad the gap worked out.
As you approach your penetration point in the weather, your apparent vs true penetration point as shown on the radar will slowly converge. Your decision making process never stops evolving in these situations, so this convergence is actually a great help as you make a decision to commit.
It´s just me or anyone else also would like to see a video from tower / controllers view ?
Willian Bathke I've been in there (years ago when I was a student pilot) - some towers will let you come up and observe if they're not too busy. I've also been declined for that same reason. It's interesting but nothing surprising. 10 minutes covered it for me. 😄 As always, ATC were awesome, consummate professionals.
It's just you stupid.
I like the more obscure soundtracks that you use from SoundCloud (ala Casey Niestat)...just sayin' : )
Not like you have a choice. If you use anything mainstream, you'll get a copyright strike.
Great airmanship Steveo, well done.
I told a controller the other day, We love IFR flying in VFR conditions. He got a laugh out of that. N43TT
I think that I heard someone on the radio say, "Steveo" at 27:25...
“Smash that like button if you see this”
Me ok
Great job Steveo! I like the way you keep things real and it shows pilot want-to-be's to never have a false sense of security. You show us that flying is not for the faint of heart. Keeping calm and not panicking is paramount if you want to be a pilot.
Love you video's man! I'm 43 and seriously considering pursuing a pilots license. I'm currently an aircraft mechanic on F-22's. So a lot of the things your saying are not unfamiliar to me. I know a lot of general knowledge about aircraft as well as the verbiage and radio chatter. I really enjoy how you verbalize your actions while also throwing in some knowledge so that someone like me can really get a good idea of the kind of workload a pilot has. It looks like a lot, and I'm sure initially, it's very challenging, but after awhile it becomes second nature. As a 16 year maintainer on mitary aircraft I am already familiar with startup procedures as well as how to run a emergency procedure checklist. All the multitasking required and the business involved is very compelling to me. It looks like you stay busy. Appreciate the videos, they have made me seriously consider taking up this profession even if I can only do it for a short time.
Steve...any PAX on these flights?
I´m just sitting back here wondering what you are transporting
girls :)
Great job! I live in Southeast, Ga...Afternoon and Evening Popup Thunderstorms during the Summer are frequent barriers.
Just for your own peace of mind, a sucker hole is an old term when the onboard radar was the only source of precip information. Since you have several overlays of ADS and satellite radar showing you defined boundaries and gradients-you know you arent going to end up in an area of heavy to extreme turbulence. Sometimes a moderate band is the most stable air. But in your case, all you really need to do is avoid the convective precip which is highlighted by the strike finder. Be easy, everything is cool.
