A Turbulent Flight | Flying Again in a C172?? Flying in the Canadian Rockies | GoPro Hero 7 + ATC!

[@flywithcaptainjoe]

Great video M! Makes me so jealous😉We should definitely rent a little one when I come over and then film our first video together in the air😉

[@Pilotemilie]

That would be amaaaaazing Joe!! :D

[@SLAF999]

That would be so awesome! keep us posted!

hi j o e

[@superskullmaster]

@@Pilotemilie you should consider P3D V5 and the Majestic Q400. Sure P3D isn’t as pretty but the planes it has blows anything for MSFS2020 out of the water.

[@Truthhurts808]

That would be grand! Look forward to it.

[@markthomas6045]

That smile!! That's how I feel when I climb aboard an aircraft of any size!

[@gregrtodd]

Your love of flying is written over every square inch of your face. I couldn't stop grinning, watching the vid. Brilliant!

[@FlightATC]

Love this! Your smile on takeoff really shows how genuine your personality is and how great your channel is.

[@michaelsylvester7272]

Yes I sure see the passion in your face that you do love what you do.

[@TIO540S1]

I had the amazing good fortune to fly a rental 172 out of Calgary into the Canadian Rockies. “Awesome” doesn’t come close to doing it justice. This brings back such amazing memories, thanks for sharing and great to see you airborne and having so much fun!

[@AvgeekCarGeek]

So beautiful all that snow ❄

[@stephenbull2026]

So glad to see you in a real cockpit again ! I have got into flying the C152 in VR within MSFS. I then realised just how “cosy” the inside of these GA aircraft are. VR really does bring you one step closer to the experience of flying IRL.

[@Brukn0ws]

The constant smile on your face just shows how much you love this. Great video!

[@owengao1119]

Nice, I remember I flew from Pitt Meadows to Springbank to finish my 250nm long cross country. Then moved to Red Deer to do the multi and IFR training

[@Cjaylove]

Thanks for sharing. Brings me joy seeing you in the air again. You can just see the joy in your face.

[@deans6129]

Watching videos like this makes me want to continue my PPL which was interrupted by a heart attack 6 years ago and while there is nothing stopping me from continuing my PPL have chosen for now to live vicariously through videos like these. Thank you for posting.

[@MaverickAussie]

I SO miss flying around that area... I learned to fly at Okotoks. Now finally finishing back home in Australia. Love your work, Emilie!

[@mixerman1078]

That instinctive look to the right before entering the runway... approach is clear! ;-)

During my PPL rental days, I had a 172 with a speaker in the ceiling and a hand held mic. Could barely hear atc and they could barely hear me. Sure wish I had noise canceling Bose headsets then! Great vid.

[@Savage_Viking]

Great Video. Can't wait to get up to "Canadia" as my youngest daughter calls it. Summers are amazing there.

[@Pilotemilie]

It really is!

[@hannabnj]

Nice Video - a real walk through memory lane. I did my PPL at the Calgary Flying Club in 1986 in 172’s. Haven’t piloted since 1992 but I have great memories of Springbank Airport and the Calgary Fly Club. Looks like they have improved the heating in the 172 since then, but sure the preflight walk around is just as chilly! Thanks for your video!

[@Pilotemilie]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ToxicDover]

Glad to see you back in the air! Can't wait until things calm down so I can kick off my PPL journey :D

[@Pilotemilie]

You and me both! Excited for you!!

[@adoetsch1960]

This is AWESOME...I love your videos! With this one, though, I am taking the two airports you flew from/to and plugging them into my new Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 to see how it compares to real life :-) I also need to see which aircraft FS offers that is closest to the C172 you guys were flying that day. I know it's not the same as real flying, but I'd say it's the next best thing :-) Thank again and I look forward to seeing more of your videos! Cheers!

[@billdapp2491]

Beautiful, the mountains and you.

[@kevinbrook7033]

This was awesome, looked 'almost' as good as Microsoft Flight Simulator in VR with my 3090! Seriously, great to see how happy you look to be back in the skies, and fascinating for me to see a real Cessna having only sat in one in the game before. I can't believe they are as cramped as MSFS makes them look, and the cockpit shadows and scratch swirls on the windows make me really appreciate how much MSFS really nailed the flight experience. This was a fantastic watch, thanks!

[@talhareloaded5650]

This is so amazing!!! You placed the Gopros perfectly!

[@Pilotemilie]

[@rixxy9204]

Wow - reminds me of old days. Been there done that, minus the digital screens. Yeah at 3:40 I was just thinking "this is going to get bumpy"... seatbelt sign ON 😉 Thankfully the pockets weren't too bad for you though!

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G, day Captain Emilie from Sydney, Australia. Nice to see you with the throttle and yoke * the cold 172 preflight, takes me back to the student PPL days of worshipping the logbook. * the feeling of airborne. * the engine running like background music. * amazing, vista, but because of the theory textbooks being inquisitive of the steam gauges. * all the while apprehensive (frightened) of turning and drops. Well Captain: until the next post in Gods air. 🌏🇭🇲

[@ljstock77]

Great flight...great airport.

[@infamouse9149]

Bloody hell.. a 172 cockpit sure has changed since I was last PIC!

[@CapeVoice]

Em, you're such a kid. Don't change.

[@Beav014]

That's some sweet panel for a 172. I'd love to have that Garmin PFD in my Champ. It would be the perfect compliment to the almost no flight instruments I have now.

[@LinkinLoris]

Oh man what a gorgeous area to fly in. Looks like it was a beautiful day as well albeit a bit gusty. Haven’t flown a SEP since last summer, so going to have to fly a prof check in March 😁 Cant wait though- nothing quite like the freedom general aviation gives you. (And nothing quite rips a hole in your pocket either 😂)

[@peteroyongo8249]

I like your videos so very much Emilie. Keep it up and I pray you will one day come back to Africa (Kenya to be precise) to explore some of the best tourist attraction sites more than any other place in the entire East African region.

[@kurtisf3366]

Next time you rent one consider the ice runway on Gull Lake. I bet that would make a great video. I landed on it a couple weeks ago and it was awesome!

[@ThatCanadianGuy-e1p]

Great video! You looked so dang happy in the Cessna I smiled a lot myself. lol

[@Pilotemilie]

Yay!! I'm glad it also made you feel good!

[@kevinjgwilson]

Do experienced pilots make good passengers or do you want to grab the yoke? Kinda like when you've driven a motorbike your nervous to get on the back.

[@Pilotemilie]

In my opinion, it has to do with confidence. A confident 'experienced' pilot trusts their training & experience and knows where their limit is ie: when or if you'd ever need to grab the yoke. Greg is a fantastic pilot, so there's no need for me to even get close to those limits! :)

[@chrismacdonald.6295]

Not sure if this from the archives or a recent live video. I was genuinely happy to see you in the air again. Back to grass roots. 😄

[@matness8879]

Watching your video is like my dreams comes true. When I finished high scool and passed all the exams I needed to start my dream, my parents experienced a rough time in their life and couldn't help me with the financial part. Here in Holland you need at least €100k to start, so my Dreams just kept being "dreams" I'm still hunting those Dreams but for now the closest I get is to book a couple hours in a real simulator or my simulator at home (prepare3D, and VR MSFS202 for immersion) watching your videos always makes me happy and give me the feeling that I'm living my dream ❤

[@JimPaar]

Banff is my favorite place in Canada, great video

[@Oh_fortheloveofpete]

oh, I miss aviation. I moved away from Toronto to Barrie and it's just not worth the commute. plus with covid, there is not much work at YYZ. I also miss Calgary I used to live in Cedarbrae on 27 Cedarwood rise. I need to get back to visit and see my old neighborhood

[@ThatCodeBlue]

Awesome as always, my friend. I like the detail and functionality of the Noisy Goose app. Would it be available without internet so that I could track position as a passenger on a commercial flight that isn’t WiFi equipped?

[@wateryflapjacks]

It works without internet to be able to track your flight. Load up the flight route prior to takeoff and it uses the internal GPS to track your position. But obviously the weather data won't be able to load. If you see any issues with it though, be sure to send in some Feedback using the app. - NoisyGoose Dev.

[@ThatCodeBlue]

@@wateryflapjacks That is awesome! Would the filed for a commercial flight be loaded to the app for that flight number or would I request it from airport code to airport code?

[@wateryflapjacks]

@@ThatCodeBlue Yup, you can search by flight number, ie: ACA123 or WJA676 or just "412". You can always just set up a route yourself too! =)

@@wateryflapjacks Awesome!!! I now have the app and I’ve upgraded! Thank you so much!

[@RandomSpaceChicken]

How do you keep up with the required flight hours for the models that you are rated for under covid? Or will you have to be recertified when there again is a demand for pilots?

[@Pilotemilie]

Because my friend was technically the PIC, there is no issue or requirement for me to stay 'current' on SEP. For my Dash 8 rating, yea absolutely, lots of training will be required whenever I do go back...

Many years ago a coworker took me up for a flight from Springbank with a Cessna (not sure which model) that he rented there.

[@suzukitlr01]

Are you using Bose headset because the 172 is too loud for the clarity aloft headset?

[@Pilotemilie]

Nope! I used my CA the last time I went flying in a 182 & it was fine (can watch that other video if you're curious!) I was gifted the Bose & wanted to test it out as I've never had one before 😊

[@suzukitlr01]

@@Pilotemilie I only ask because I have the Bose but don't like that sunglasses break the seal and are less comfortable. I really want to try the Clarity Aloft's but 1. I worry they will be loud and 2. I have $1,200 headset that work perfectly fine. Tough to replace them so soon

[@Pilotemilie]

@@suzukitlr01 I think Clarity has a decent return policy but don't quote me on that. You can also sell your Bose if you decide you love the CA. I have thin Raybans for that reason (the seal) and I never had an issue with my Zulus when I wore those for 6 years (also ANR headset). Sunglasses can sometimes sit funny with the CA so that's something to also consider. All personal choice really! Hope this helps.
