    I’ve been addicted ever since I heard Chris yell CCLLEEAARR some episodes ago, and I haven’t been at all disappointed yet. How is it that this is the coolest video, but the one before it was coolest at that point too...? CAVU, gentlemen! 😎👍

    Great video, thanks. Summit airport is at Broad Pass, it's not just a valley but a pass. True, it doesn't look at all like famous passes like Logan Pass, Donner Pass or Independence Pass in Colorado. Broad Pass unlike other passes is hard to determine where the top is when traversing the Parks Highway. However, like all other passes it marks a major drainage divide between the Susitna River drainage and the Yukon River drainage.

    About six years ago we drove up the parks highway and did the bus trip through Denali to the Kantishna lodge. It was a 12 hour bus trip. Long day but got to see a lot of wildlife including Grizzly Bears. Lunch at the lodge was excellent and my mother in law actually panned a couple of gold nuggets out of the river. Drove on up to Fairbanks and down the southeastern highway. For anyone who hasn't been but can go Alaska is unbelievable as Josh's video's show.

  • @MichaelLloyd
    @MichaelLloyd Před 5 lety

    Really good discussion on density altitude. Here at FMN (5,506), even at 6:30 am and 57 degrees, when I left on Sunday morning density altitude is +1,000'. When I got back 2 hours later, it was +3,000' and everything was happening faster. It's all manageable if you know what to expect and pay attention. I landed at N19 (5,882) before going back to FMN and I had to do a go around because my timing was off, probably because I had been flying for almost 2 hours and didn't mentally switch to the landing phase. I got a kick out of Chris's call because I did almost the same thing when I went around. I told "traffic" that this time I thought I would actually land.
    The things is, for me, this is a good reminder that I won't always have AWOS and 6,700' (Rwy 7/25) of runway with no obstructions. Pull out the manual and check. It only takes a little time.
    The valley looks like a big glacier "drove thru" at some point in the past

    I had a run in with desity altitude last Tuesday. Fully loaded (100 lbs under gross) on out 182 on a 4,000' runway with obstacle and 102° with a 5000' DA. Almost stalled at 50' agl. Got behind the power curve a little bit. It's the kind of thing that wakes you up with cold sweats.

I can't count how many I've drove thru that area going and to and from North Pole to Anchorage. I also miss flying in Alaska. There's nothing like it.

    You used 2 out of 3 of my favorite PB& ingredients; Dave's Killer Bread and Smucker's Jam BUT you really need to use Smucker's Natural Peanut Butter (not hydrogenated). You have to stir it but its worth it for the real peanut flavor and non-artery clogging benefit. Highly recommended!

  • @stephenrobinson8250
    @stephenrobinson8250 Před 5 lety +1

    Great vids. I noticed you only referenced book values for landing and take-off. We should all understand that covers a brand new aircraft usually with wheel fairings, with no nicks in the wings and an engine that is in peak performance. Rule of thumb where we fly is to add "at least" 30% to all calculated values. Some add as much as 50%. We always want to err on the conservative side. Incredible scenery! 2 more vids to go!

    • @joshallman4409
      @joshallman4409 Před 5 lety

      They mentioned having a RAM STC so it’s being compensated for...also mentioned they have experimented with takeoff performance, so I would say the experience is more valuable than a POH from 1963 for a plane with a different engine...

    • @chadpollman7970
      @chadpollman7970 Před 5 lety

      @Stephen Excellent advice. That fudge factor is valuable insurance for less-than-test-pilot-skills pilots in less-than-factory-fresh airplanes in less-than-steady wind/weather conditions. 🙂
      @Josh The RAM STC Josh mentioned was applied to his Lycoming-powered 172M Skyhawk (N80991). Based on their “underpowered” remarks throughout this series, I’m inclined to believe the Skyhawk they are flying in Alaska has the standard 145hp Continental setup of its vintage. (Characteristic dual exhaust pipes peeking out beneath the cowling, so definitely a 6-cylinder in there.) I’ve heard mention of a 180hp upgrade for these Skyhawks, but unless I’m mistaken, that involves swapping to a different engine.

    • @joshallman4409
      @joshallman4409 Před 5 lety +1

      Chad Pollman yes I do believe at that point in the conversation he shifted to talking about his own plane, but the key thing is they’ve done their own tests...knowing how that specific plane performs is invaluable, otherwise you have to start adding/subtracting arbitrary numbers to the chart. 👍

  • @karlbrundage7472
    @karlbrundage7472 Před 5 lety

    Concerning density-altitude: When I was on the job I had to investigate an incident where a Piper Warrior was landing at a private airfield with a county road just before the threshold of the strip. The Warrior, with a full load of passengers and luggage, was aiming for the numbers, but the temperature at the ground was 98+ F and the humidity was high. A high-pressure inversion had settled on the area and the hot, humid air was trapped at the surface.
    The pilot was descending through moderate air and set up for a standard glide-slope.
    Unfortunately, upon entering the hot air down low he didn't recognize that his descent went below the glide-slope and he came in extremely shallow, but thought he could clear the perimeter fence and make the runway.
    He would have, except for a single Ford Explorer driving innocently down the county road with a man and his 15 year-old daughter.
    The right main gear of the Warrior impacted the passenger-side window of the Explorer, rolling the vehicle onto it's roof and driving it into the airfield perimeter fence. The impact dislodged the landing gear strut and ruptured the aircrafts starboard wing fuel tank, which sprayed high-octane aviation fuel over the wrecked SUV.
    The resulting fire ultimately killed both the father and daughter. To this day I pray to God that they were already dead or unconscious when the fire ended their lives.
    All of the occupants of the Piper survived.
    It's a scene I'll never get out of my mind........................................................

    Curious also about personnel protection from a moose with attitude or a brown or grizzly bear, Sara even addressed the bear issue. Is bear spray enough or do you carry a 44 magum.
