After the Scary Missed Approach in the Mountains - Pilot VLOG 163

Here is the continuation of the last flight where we went missed at Eagle airport in Colorado. The interior camera, which gets the audio input, decided to turn itself off when we got to the final approach, so you will only get ambient sound after that point. I hope you enjoy the beautiful views though!

Good example of what newer pilots need today. Good judgement and following procedures. One of my favorite channels. Sean is such a likeable guy

[@matt_waddy]

WHY DIDN'T YOU GUYS HAVE AUDIO GOING INTO GRAND JUNCTION?!?! Sorry, I couldn't resist. Lol.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!! LOL

[@Juhujalp]

Duh he even said that there is no audio... Had to do it, sry :P

[@mvonsmallhausen3221]

Man, we had to get it out of the way, right?

[@BeechSportBill]

....had my volume down, maybe????

[@coreymalhiot2796]

😆😆😆😆

[@Mikeabq1]

Lesson learned about this area. Aspen - Rifle - Eagle -- If one is down, try one other; if two are down, the third probably will be too. I was surprised that after all 3 were down and you went missed that you didn't have another in your back pocket. Grand Junction was a good choice and would have been an immediate for me. I flew out of COS and ABQ for a number of years so mountain weather was always in my checklist. Love watching your videos. Remind me of flying a Citation with somebody that we just "mind-melded" much like you and John do. What a treat. I'm getting too old for it now but it was sure fun back in my day. Fly safely and God bless!

[@williegillie5712]

Ain’t no messing around on a missed approach. Time to get down to business. Nicely executed. Great views Shaun

[@GreatDataVideos]

These videos are very helpful. I haven't flown in some years and working on getting back in the cockpit. It's good to see how the pros handle things and the crew resource management is top notch!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you!

[@williegillie5712]

I enjoyed the vlog Shaun. Gets scary flying through the mountains in the soup. The landing looked great 👍 I enjoyed it as always. I never get tired of riding along in the cockpit when you guys are flying and landing. You both appeared in control and confident. A well balanced cockpit for sure. Great views outside. I’m glad you decided to upload this video.

[@fxpthl]

So, it's not always a "walk in the park" when flying in the mountains! So few choices and your passengers have got to be very flexible with their travel plans, to say the least!

[@ohsothankfultonystewart3755]

It was still great, thanks agin for sharing!

[@jefferyschlicht5920]

Nice job guys!

[@ENergyJimP]

Great video Sean, even with the lost audio and camera at the end. Keep it real. :)

[@terrytomlinson8772]

Good job on a busy day

[@blablablablablabla6656]

Great video as always!

[@tomheim8976]

One of the best vids ever because it was not just stander stuff ,GREAT JOB thanks.

[@robertschneider2189]

Good job, on both the flying and the video.

[@BeechSportBill]

....LEARNING every minute watching you guys!

[@svt0708]

very good video and a very solid flown aproach and missed aproach saludos

[@steini6771]

Great piloting!

[@markvanderveen6389]

Nice approach into Grand Junction Shaun... If you ever get into FLG,, let me know and I'll show you around town...

[@DeepWebDiary]

Y’all made the right call for sure

[@johncollier608]

I bet it felt food to get your wheels back on solid ground after flying around the Colorado mountains for all that time. Great video, Shaun. Thank you.

[@mikedupree832]

Good Job Guys. This video makes you understand, When in doubt? Wait it out!

[@dlvox5222]

True pros. Once I graduate to private air travel you guys are my guys.

[@michaelloder5150]

Sean!! you are quite the Professional in fact I would say that was Awsome....hope to meet you one day.....its always good watching your videos......

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Nice completion to a sketchy flight Shaun!

[@HighTide1715]

Hey Shawn, Thanks for showing the video. That go pro stopped working on short final. Glad to see the approach into Grand Junction The only thing we missed was the complaints when you found out there were no hotel rooms available at GJ due to all the airplanes diverting there. ! LOL ! Thanks Again, another great video. Really interesting with all the IMC.

[@FFlyDDrum1]

Great views out the cockpit window ( when there was visibility)

[@LukePylypciw]

Scary but great job!

[@yalladiego5606]

The landing was reeaallly smooth, holy cow, I like it a lot.

[@UncleWiggy252]

After a solid miss it's always nice to find yourself between those layers on the way to the REAL alternate, isn't it? Good to see you scrambling for that unanticipated approach at KGJT. That's always the toughest part after any miss. Good job with your priorities. Praise the Lord these days are few and far between, for some of us....Pay no attention to this northern tier freight dog but it looked like another typical day to me!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Fly safe always..

[@ian408]

Last time I was in GJT, I heard this announcement over the PA that the terminal security personnel were gonna be on break for a bit and that gates would be closed for a short time. Pretty informal place at the time. Of course, right down the main drag there was a pretty sweet monument to visit. Nice flight in. Landing looked smooth. Hope you enjoyed your time.

[@chibinwosu5261]

Well that was unnerving and I was only watching.😂 Good work guys

[@sixfooteskimo]

That was so intense

[@Gulfstreamer]

Quite a different view from Eagle and Cabo! 😁

[@LuciferMorningstarDanny]

Didn’t see to much of a problem fella , just a few secs of non internal camera. Great video. However that camera on landing had a pretty crappy picture. Hope the famil is all well and safe. Keep them coming Shaun . from Brisbane 👍👍👍

[@danwesinger3802]

Those line guys at the FBO must have been running their tails off!

[@KKG51]

Wow! I bet you guys were so happy when you broke out at GJ! You both were so calm & collected after going missed and having to hunt around for an alternate. What a great example for pilots of any skill level to follow.

[@donjohnson8649]

Anyone that could not do all that and remain "cool and collected" should NOT be flying (and likely would never make it this far anyway!).

[@CaptCap25]

Nothing beats breaking out with plenty of room to go.

[@jimhal5553]

Sean is lying! It is so AWESOME going into G.J. that it takes your breath away! Did I mention that I lived there for 14 years before moving to Montrose?

[@chrisk2097]

Back in April you posted a 360 camera video clip. If you didn't break it (LOL)you should bring that thing back .

[@ianlomaxphotography6978]

Great work guys. Challenging day in the office😎

[@ianlomaxphotography6978]

Forgot to mention, nice hotel balcony view!😎

[@chriholt]

Thanks for the disclaimer Shaun, it would have been a shame to have missed this video! I also couldn’t hear the pilot flying at all for the whole video. Not sure what happened there.

[@donc9751]

Nice place to hang out Shaun! Sweet! The audio didn't cut out until on final but even then I could still hear you both thru my headphones that I always wear while watching videos. Nice landing! How far did passengers end up having to drive to their destination?

[@coreymalhiot2796]

Its about a 2 hr drive

[@monkeyboy8424]

Denver center should have handed SWA off to next sector to keep frequency clear for multiple missed approach traffic monitoring and communication.

[@chrisgossman6512]

I don't understand the delema on putting out this video. The approach into Grand Junction was beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

[@leerose9436]

Loved it 👍🙏🏻🙏🏻🇬🇧🇺🇸

[@larrymayberry2312]

WOW..what a difference in weather between where you were going and where you ended up..

[@iowadrummer79]

Your standards are tremendously high Shaun. I mean, that's normal for a pilot, but don't beat yourself up over some simple camera issues. This is a great video, as they all are. Thanks!

[@flyingbrian8417]

Still enjoyed the video.

[@brendamen]

West Star Aviation says hello....for GJT

[@rikspector]

Shaun, Just a little fog...eHH? How often have you had to abort a landing because of conditions like that, especially in the mountains, that has to be a little dicey. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@datruth9872]

Well that's that ! Nice Job ! Later

[@ETennScott]

I enjoyed the quiet final. That was just a LOT of time in the soup! Did you wait for Eagle to clear and then fly them over or did they make the drive? Great work as usual.

[@rnzoli]

Flew them over. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYiwfXyBpJKKndU

[@mrabrasive51]

Are they filming Castaway 2 on that beach!?😆

[@projekt6_official]

I replaced my GoPro with a DJI Osmo Action. Got tired of my GoPros dying randomly and for seemingly zero reason. Have had it for about 9 months and so far, so good.

[@lkm5462]

Thhere was audio. My guess the bumpy ride loosened the external mike cord. Sounds like the camera audio worked fine

[@N98858]

Hey Shawn... Audio was good until you "Dumped The Gear", just before breaking out! Tell that Left Seat "Nice Landing" ';-) Thanks for the ride!

[@DJ-nn6vg]

Any chance you could do a video explaining exacting what was going on during that “miss” and where were you flying. How close did you get to the mountains flying the miss?

[@shoop4040]

Are you kidding me- Now way I was skipping the beautiful beach and ocean back ground wishing I was there. I do have a question. So when you can’t fly into your Original destination airport what do your passengers do ? Did they have a contingency plan?

[@OMG_No_Way]

Did you get any spatial disorientation in that stuff? And is there literally zero visibility during your miss and the part after it? Looks like it’s perfect weather to really screw with your mind.

[@chrisc161]

Great flight. Audio was fine it only cut off at the end. By the way no push to talk on the yoke?

[@kmlammto]

He answered this last video. The PTT is on the yoke, but he is more comfortable with the panel switch.

[@scottmarshall722]

On the missed approach to Eagle IFR, how low did you get before making the decision to abort and head to Grand Junction? Also, would it have made a difference flying IFR with an aircraft that was equipped with FLIR? Thanks for the videos!

[@brandtbecker1810]

I don't know if this question has ever been asked, but, let's say there is someplace(s) in the world you aren't comfortable going to then what? Example, I wouldn't want to go to Brazil with its "spotty" ATC in the country's interior. Are you able to "opt out" of a particular location or do you have to just suck it up and go anyway?

[@ronarnott1801]

Ok, no audio joke. I suppose in not landing at the first choice airport customers agree to wherever you can put her down and they scramble for a ride to their destination? Sean, in the future if audio fails could some voice over work?

[@paulperlmutter6279]

Where have you even, Tesla Paul

[@paulm2861]

How are you liking those David Clark X Ones?

[@matthewhalliburton8534]

Hi, Shaun, I was thinking would you consider in getting a GoPro hero 8 what are your thoughts on that?

[@bradolsen9981]

That did not appear to be easy

[@JoeisHungry]

I liked it better.. the single camera angle to me is better .

[@davidharris2519]

How come RED lake didnt call the FSS for all the wx he needed instead of asking the local controller

[@alessio272]

Did you originally file KGJT for your alternate? Did you have at least 45 mins of fuel after arrival to KGJT? Make sense as the RNAV 29 is only 482 above TDZE. KASE and KEGE have higher mins above TDZE than KGJT.

[@rnzoli]

Final reserve fuel is 30 minutes for jets.

[@leepetridge5858]

Why is the left seater always on his cell phone?

[@PROFincubus]

PAPI Ligths separated into 2 pairs? ...never seen before :)

[@farmerandy]

They are VASI lights, not PAPI. They work the same way but the PAPI's has better percision.

[@Unuthryear]

Clearly the landing gear pulled the plug

[@davidharris2519]

[@waukeshapilot6462]

Just Curious.......What happened to the passengers?????? Did you do a reposition flight after things improved?

[@GusCarlson]

Shaun posted a video three weeks ago of landing in Aspen, I believe that was the reposition flight you're wondering about.

[@36thstreethero]

There was no audio because it was a total elbows and aszholes shichshow

[@bigfootaviation8497]

What are your companies SIC requirements? I’m just finishing up commercial training.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We need ATP minimums...

[@megamilyon6111]

Question....if you have a missed approach and need to spend say an extra 20 minutes or 40 minutes of flight time, is that billed to the passengers ?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Most of the time, the trip is billed as "planned flight time" so if we overfly, it's on us.

[@megamilyon6111]

@@CorporatePilotLife Thanks for the reply and information. Love the channel

[@scottjparks3390]

Anyone know why he didn’t have audio? Jk I watched the intro.. Great vid always!

[@Captain_Al_320]

Can you please define what was “scary” about the missed approach? A missed approach that is well briefed shouldn’t be scary!

[@ianallen1948]

Exactly, you want to see Queenstown, New Zealand if you want challenging

[@morthomer5804]

[@robgreissinger4660]

These videos still are missing something without the call sign. I get why they’re not there, but the videos are just not as enjoyable as they used to be back in the Presidential Days. 🙁😔

Why scary missed app? Pretty standard stuff really. Flew the missed as published, on a jet. Did not see anything scary.
