Your video production work is really good. Nice flight. Thanks

SB2X-22-09 is the service bulletin for G7 com 2 issue.

I love the over water approach into Leesburg.

There is an SB for the static on Com 2. Requires some changes with the AP servos.

What year is your s22?

Love that added some views of your iPad and close-ups of the avionics. Turning it up a notch. Nice work, fun flight!

I’ve had worse landings. Don’t beat yourself up. Another great video! Enjoy the sunshine.

I really enjoyed watching this! That feeling popping out the clouds just before minimums 🙌

All I can say is.... I've had worse and I'm able to make this comment... :-) Good content, be critical but don't beat yourself up too much, fly on!

I may have felt bad of you, but it was better than many I've seen! Thanks for your 2024 videos and I look forward to what you show us in 2025. Happy New Year to you and you family.

Great content. Just found your channel.

Great job Scott! It always feels worse when you were the one flying but it wasn’t that bad. Your wife didn’t seem bothered by the landing so that tells me it wasn’t as bad as you thought. To continue my arm chair quarterbacking lol, I would have probably dropped 50% flaps as a soon as I realized a slam dunk was imminent(ie. when you were a few miles east of final at 4000) it would have given you a little more time to get composed. The g7s are slippery buggers and with the slower planes in the pattern they may have caused unnecessary distractions. Oh and the “living the dream” controller was AWESOME! Thanks for sharing the journey!

Just subbed to this channel and I don't even fly in real life lol Just a very chill vibe to the videos and informative. Just feels like I'm flying with my boy 🤙🏼

I was your approach controller that day. Working the Seminole Sector at F11 - Central Florida TRACON. That was a busy, busy session, but all the pilots were on the ball and it made everything so much easier and really enjoyable.

How do you like the G7 avionics? Was it a steep learning curve? Is it sooo much better than G6?

Awesome video thanks for making it, I learned years ago there are two types of landings, a good landing, and a great landing. We all know a good landing is when you can walk away from it, a great landing is where you can use the airplane again…… yours was a great landing. Lol.

The airport off your left wing during the approach to Craig is our second Navy base here in Jax - Naval Air Station Jacksonville (KNIP). I enjoy your content, thank you for continuing to document your flights.

It's best practice to ask passengers not to speak (sterile cockpit), unless it's an emergency, from descent to arrival on the ramp. Give them the job of looking for traffic. No talking about sightseeing, where the Jags play, etc. FLY! Capture the PAPI's, they looked white in the video (hard to tell) and what you've already mentioned, look down the runway for a gentle flare. You put yourself in a tough situation by dropping full flaps well outside the runway environment. Aviation is a learning experience. Nice job under tough circumstances. Control them next time.

I think it’s the squelch is turned up to much?? Not sure if it’s something you can reduce in these new radio setups? I’m old school lol Any landing you can walk away from is good 👍🏻 lol seriously though work on stabilizing approach and another tip that helps is your eyes look at one point on the runway ie numbers then fly to said spot in a stable configuration from 500 ft above. As you approach the point where said numbers leave the point of view transition to looking upwards and reduce power and flare in that order. Once the mains are firmly on the ground raise flaps. This will keep you firmly on the ground.

My most embarrassing moment flying, and severe lesson. Following about 2 1//2 hours of Commercial/Instrument training and multiple approaches & departures, all hand flown "under the hood", I pulled the hood off at minimums at Hobby. I learned all to quickly how tricky going from instruments to visual flight can be. What proceeded was, without doubt, the worst almost out of control landing I've ever made. My reaction, "My God! What was that! THAT right here at Hobby for God & everyone else to see!" The CFII explained that often skilled smooth landings after long IMC flight can be difficult. I've never experienced such again following CFII's advice & training, but ....egads! I'll never forget it

Good video, Scott. Wouldn’t beat you up for the landing. We’ve all had landings that were rougher than we intended. The only mistake I saw was an extraneous conversation with your passenger just prior to touchdown. I tell those flying with me that it’s a sterile cockpit once we’re in the traffic pattern.

I’m not going to “roast” you about your bad landing. Every pilot has the occasional “bad landing”, for any number of reasons, so I’m not going to “roast” you about it. After all, thats why we practice and debrief our flights. No Scott, I’m going to “roast” you about something way more important. Your video demonstrates a total disregard for a sterile cockpit at critical stages of flight and your improper use of checklists and flows. Your non-pilot KZbin fans aren’t going to get this and I’m probably going to get more of a “roasting” than you, but it needs to be said. Please stop the unnecessary chatter during critical phases of flight, use a flow and back it up with proper use of your checklists. And please, get rid of the camera. It way too much of a distraction for you. If anything, use it as a training tool, but thats it. Lastly, please get a COPA certified CFII (preferably one that has flown professionally) and show him your video and my comment and do a debrief with him. Happy New Year and safe flying. ❤

Last minute changes always throw off rhythm and pace… and generally yield a less than perfect landing. Plenty a runway just keep building the patience to hold it off until it’s ready to land. Those experiences are will make you a better pilot! The reality is, you’re gonna have plenty of time to do an even worse landing! We all are!

I am not an a CFI, so take my feedback with a pound of salt: 1) You turned final early and cut the corner, so you gave up the time to lose altitude and airspeed. Unless I am circling or doing a short approach, I always try to fly straight lines and do standard rate turns. If you wander toward the final, then you'll have a much harder time to judging your approach. 2) You had power in the whole time you were trying to get down and get slow. You gotta make up your mind. 😂You were well above Vref when you crossed the threshold, so you had excess energy to bleed off. Seems like you were trying to hit the 1000' marks, so you ballooned. 3) You loaded and activated the visual approach, but the active segment to intercept was outside of your base leg. You can see on your PFD that your FPL sequencing was suspended ("SUSP" enabled), so until you intercepted that leg, it was not going to sequence you onto the final GP. If you would have disabled SUSP, it should have skipped forward and given you guidance for a 3 degree GP, which obviously would help. 4) I am not a stickler for the "sterile cokpit" rule, but you seem very distracted on short final despite being out of the pocket.

This is why I stick to the land-o-matic C-152 lol

I'm assuming it's not just a squelch issue with the radio?

Does Cirrus not teach folks how to adjust their seatbelts properly?

43:31 - Admit it. I saw you push the "greaser" button on the stick. LOL. Great video.

Great video! I earned my ppl in the building you were parked in front of. And now I fly to KCRG very often for my job lol

With the traffic and ATC instructions being so congested and busy, jeez I didn’t think you did such a bad landed (I do reference some of my, let’s say, ordinary landing 😮😅) 👍

We love 130.3 controller in Orlando. Such a good guy!!!!

I really appreciate your videos. Not doing too much flying as winter IMC conditions have prevailed in MN recently. Not that it’s a substitute for flying, but following along and arm chair flying I feel will help keep me a little more proficient. I need FIKI!

Thanks Scott for all the Flat earth videos, keep up the good work.

Good landing 👍

Don’t beat yourself up too bad. We’ve all done it. ;p

The audio and the landing were duds 😂

I do most of my flying in Colorado around Denver which can be busy. We spend most of the winter in Florida and the airspace is a whole different level of busy. Normally fly out of North Palm Beach County and it desperately needs a tower, but everyone usually really does there best, but it can be insane.

Any landing that you can walk away from is a good one! The airplane might disagree but it's a good thing it can't talk lol

You have quickly become one of my favorite KZbin channels. Keep up the good work.

There's no backup instruments in this one?

Where does your kneeboard come from?

“Fragile sensibilities.” That’s one to submit to the Opposing Bases guys. Lol.

@flying_scott Scott, thoughts are circulating that it is related to a design issue and interference. The static and weak Com 2 was traced to an autopilot servo. That component has been re-engineered and has been incorporated in current deliveries. It may be a Cirrus part repositioning/replacement need.

Well done. Thanks

Sounds like the squelch is set to sensitive… good videos !!

You rounded out to early and ballooned and then came the excessive sink rate but don’t be too hard on your self

Interesting, I also fly a G7 - S22T and have had comm issues exactly like you were having in the beginning of the video but only on COM2. COM1 is completely fine. My CSIP told me Cirrus was looking into it but haven't gotten a definitive answer yet on whats causing it.

Great video! As for the radio issues you are experiencing in a few of your videos now, I'd say it's just defective, plain and simple. Straight swap out would be my preference. The bird is still brand new.

Another great video Scott! Such an underrated channel, going viral in no time!

Nicely done, Scott ! Looking more and more like a pro ! Merry Xmas to you and the family! Dave-YXU
