Hey Captain, We have a full motion Caravan sim and I enjoy your cockpit video. Our sim is a RedBird with the G-1000. It will not slow down on an approach. I notice your prop and fuel levers are both forward and you carry some power into the flare. We can't do that. It's idle power with full flaps at 3 NM and still a job to get down to landing speed without floating 2,000 feet. What do you use as a checklist. We have none. What we have came off the internet. Have you heard of a checklist company called qREF.com? They have a Caravan checklist that I would like to buy. Keep up your great videos.

Typically i have six to eight T'storm's going up to 50,000' plus on my departure. I've seen on my route , over the last 20 years some of the most widest weather ever. How about a microburst, hitting the ground at 2,000' and curling around to 14,000'. I have been inspired by the both of you, to video some of my cool weather encounters. Kept up the good work. Hope to post some cool videos this summer, nothing like some lightning going down the side of airplane and along the top!!

Captain, how safe do you feel flying a single engine airplane over that amount of water. Also did you have a life raft, and the other things you need when flying over the water. Really enjoy the videos, great job with the cameras. Fly Safe.
@GaryMCurran6 жыл бұрын
John, in talking with many pilots, overwater operations can be anything from a nail-biter to a non-event. A lot of it depends on the engine in the airplane. In a single engine piston airplane, the engine goes to 'Auto-Rough' about 1,000 yards off of the beach. At least, that's what it seems. In a twin engine pistol airplane, you don't really think about it too much (but you still have the gear, rescue beacon, etc. In a turboprop airplane, those things are so reliable that they say If you can get it started, it'll run forever.' Not quite true, but turboprops, especially the Pratt and Whitney PT6 in the Caravan, have such an astounding time between failure that most people flying them overwater, even single engine, trust them more than a twin piston engine. In a turboprop, make sure you have enough Jet-A for the trip, and you're golden.
