Great part 2. IFR communications heading, altitude, cleared for approach always helpful to hear again and again.

It's really nice to have a good friend who is a CFI ! Arnaldo seems to be getting the idea of how to fly the Mooney. It is a big step up from a 172. All planes have different handling characteristics which I am sure you will address. I have no doubt that Arnaldo will do very well with his flight training under your tutelage. I am not a licensed pilot but would love to have you as my flight instructor!
@ReflectedMiles4 жыл бұрын
Yes. The history of accidents with complex airplanes flown by well-rated and current pilots, especially these types, is largely a history of the pilot getting behind the airplane. Your "big step up" is actually an important comment for pilots to understand because too many do not recognize that enough and train and practice accordingly. The airplane was designed to minimize drag in all forms and one effect of that is that it can get away much faster in the wrong situation.

OK now. When you went to In-N-Out you were cutting where I live. I picked our home based on being to get to the northern most In-N-Out in California (and Trader Joes) they're both within a mile in Redding (KRDD) and with an hour maximum drive we ended up in Weaverville (KO54) about 50 minutes away. Having done a seven year combat tour in Missouri I can rate Sonic with a barf bag icon, but don't worry, McDonald's get's three bags. What a Burger earns a solid meh right along with Steak & Shake.. Keep up the good work. It's been fun watching you and your flying mature in these videos.
