Mechanic: does a good deed for some guy who gives him a shoutout in his video 5 years later: 100,000 views on one of the most popular aviation KZbin channels. Hope the guy that helped you still works for Airmotive Specialties and got a raise!

[@steveo1kinevo]

When you fly higher in faster more powerful aircraft you will become very comfortable flying in IMC conditions. It's something that takes time but being comfortable in IMC is something that will make you a better pilot. Cool video, looks like a beautiful area.

[@siebrenbroekema]

KZbin pilot reunion!

[@Aviation101]

***** I need a TBM...

[@michael40305]

***** i fly a pc-12 for suf air

[@Fast1Air]

***** Agree 100%.

[@matrixab4356]

Surf air suck. They pay shit. Great concept though.

[@staticgaming1033]

I hav started to fly and can't wait till I fly by myself. Love your vids. I'm 16 years old and 8 hours into my journey.

[@chalistompers7466]

You really motivate me because I want to be a pilot. You make good videos that teach me a lot about flying. Keep making awesome videos.

[@dem0npain]

+Chalis Tompers Studies will help more.

[@andrewmackaybryan]

Wow what stunning views from the aircraft as you made your way over California. Thank you for sharing the trip with us. Hope you had a great time at the fly-in.

[@venturevanessa6320]

Awesome! I fly out of salinas twice a week:)

[@Slayer553826]

This reminds me of the trip I did with a friend from Wisconsin to New Orleans in a cessna 150. Managed it in one day but with 14 hours from first takeoff to last landing.

[@dgdivoky1]

Great advice regarding IMC...there is an old adage in aviation that suggests superior judgment prevents us from having to use superior skill.

[@greensphinx]

"A superior Pilot uses his Superior Judgement to avoid needing to use his Superior Skill"

[@tbecker8518]

i agree with steveo1kinevo. i flew many IMC hours in the east coast corridor in a 172. the more you do the better you get. the rules are the same but just require a precision flying -- on instruments which is a huge satisfaction. i dunno if i'd do it in mountain flying though. i love IMC!

[@noahmccourt1491]

my grandson and I have been watching Josh for a couple years. keep up the good work Josh

[@chaerw]

Did my solo cross country from Long Beach while working on my private license.

[@tpaynemm]

Wow hand propping! That is something that would give me nightmares. Would have loved to have seen that on video. Congrats on adapting, improvising, and overcoming.

[@Aviation101]

Talan Thanks! Perhaps I can makes a video on that subject in the future.

[@coastlineaviation6149]

@mraviation101 hah! No way bud, when I was a student my instructor and I had to hand prop our 172 when we landed in KAPV as well.... Small world. Keep up the good work pal

[@Morpheus9331]

i remember i stopped briefly in Salinas 5 years ago :-) went to Monterey. Awesome video buddy

[@zackdl]

Loved the addition of the explanation of the starter problem!

[@nicholasmascarello8773]

Great video! I live on the Monterey Peninsula so it was awesome to see some of my homeland on your channel.

[@jimhuntington8692]

So I've been viewing some of your older posts. This, and others in your West coast trip. Big Bear weather issues, starter issues, etc. Had to laugh about hand propping. First plane I bought didn't have a starter. Hand prop was the only answer to flying. Check it out... Lark 95 built by Helton Aircraft out of Mess AZ. 1508H. Recently rebuilt. What a fun airplane!

[@BladeTrinity99]

Very good job and radio work. I'm low time IFR and you just made me aware I should practice a lot more.

[@Aviation101]

Simeon Green Thanks! How so??

[@Star_moon336]

The beutiful Salinas valley i miss all the agriculture land nice views.

[@cadams2006]

Love the F18 video mode to eat up some terrain when you're outside

[@darreng5178]

Josh, there is one major problem with your videos....they have to end!! Great trip and well done to you guy's.

[@beijingkoala4]

I went to the fly-in too :) Pity you guys didn't refuel at Paso Robles KPRB, the gas pump was broken and stop counting beyond 4.6 gallons. Buy 4.6, get the rest free! LOL We flew in on Friday night at 10:30pm IFR, so there was no traffic. The lineman who greeted us was the airport manager, he even drove us to our motel 4 miles away.

[@smaze1782]

Fantastic video dude. And "props" to you (see what I did there?) for the shout out to the shop and mechanic who helped you.

[@dadas2170]

So awesome as always Josh!! Thanks and I am always learning...

[@MichaelLloyd]

Loving this series!

[@noahfarrell7082]

talks for the first 3 minutes haha you're a boss Josh!

[@rene69851]

Nice Video, I live in Salinas before. I remember we are on that airport when we watch the Blue Angels

[@justgoneflying]

Long cross-countries are pretty awesome, I think. I flew from central Florida to San Francisco during my hour building. But we didn't do it in one day. We took 5 days, I think, including a day off after spending almost 10 hours in the air the day before, dodging thunderstorms on the backside of a cold front. Was a pretty awesome experience non the less. Unfortunately our plane got damaged on the ground in KSFO, so we had to take a commercial flight back east...

[@ScottWoodland]

Enjoyed this set of videos. Not sure I'd do that far in a 172 though I know many have. But, perhaps... No, i must keep talking C182 or the like with my wife :) Sorry I missed a (sounds like) great fly-in, but alas I was already booked for 10-days in Hawaii. Glad the starter was a wire. Love the aviation community and the willingness for even the professionals to help.

[@pacdset50]

My home airport! Great video man

[@AlexFeldstein]

Good work Josh. Nice to finally arrive after such a trip. Well done. PS: Nice to meet you in person at Sun 'N Fun

[@shakenama]

I bet it's so much nicer being number 1 in the pattern ;-D

[@김파일럿]

Good video! I got pvt inst com licence in norcal. I love that airport. It good airport to practice dme arc approach. And i also love watsonville, half moon bay airport.

[@aviationnation7798]

@MrAviation101 You produce such amazing video's. I made mad respect for you sir. Your dedication and passion for Aviation is evident and is worthy of respect. It was nice of you to give a shout out to the maintenance company as well. Cheers

[@Aviation101]

Private Plane Life Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy the videos!

[@crashburn3292]

Here's a rule I learned years ago as a passenger in a Cessna 150 RG. Don't take off when a Gulfstream is blasting it's engines across your runway. It's quite a jolt when your plane jumps 15 feet front right to left and bounces tires that are two feet off the ground. ;)

[@kurtisf3366]

I can't believe that controller cleared like 3 planes to land on the same runway in sequence all at once like that. Around here (western Canada) I never get cleared to land until the aircraft ahead has cleared the runway. Sometimes the clearance comes 100ft off the ground at my home airport as it can take a Cessna awhile to clear the end of the 5000' runway if they decided to take the whole runway.

[@marsgal42]

We have our ways, the Americans have theirs. I've gotten landing clearances coming over the fence. On my last trip to the U.S. I was number two, cleared to land at Renton (KRNT). I also took off from something that looked like a real airport (Bellingham KBLI) squawking 1200, which always makes me feel slightly naked.

[@747-pilot]

That is because Canada is one giant 3rd world shithole, masquerading as a 1st world country!

[@samoram978]

hi there. Very good high level flying and sure you did learn a lot. thanks for sharing. samora.m

[@bubbonzo]

The king air's radio transmissions were really clear

[@DjCaptRob]

Excellent as always!

[@aviationdreams6443]

Great video as usual

[@richardrenfro9851]

Love the Big Bear sweatshirt

[@EdPaz]

I need to lear to fly, get your instructor certification :) so I'm watching your videos and following your approach by looking at charts and airport Diagram this is pretty cool!

[@davidbates7429]

Would have liked to hear someone going through a checklist sometime!!!!!!

[@woh1955]

Hand proping, gutsy. I had a loss in charging on a flight from Killeen to Ramona. Stuck in Yuma. Was a busted wire too. 20 bucks and on my way. 1989.

[@PilotLu]

Nice flight and video man...TPA at SNS is 884 not 1100 btw (minute 10:13)...I know, I'm a nitpicky bastard :)

[@Aviation101]

Luis M Ochoa Not sure where you're getting 884 ft... but here in the US, standard traffic pattern altitude is 1,000ft AGL (above ground level). Since the field elevation is 84ft MSL (above mean sea level), you round 84ft up to 100ft and add 1,000ft, giving you a traffic pattern altitude of 1,100ft. Standard here in the US is 1,000ft, unless of course, otherwise depicted which is not the case here that I know of. Safe Landings, - Josh

[@PilotLu]

MrAviation101 Josh, "standard" doesn't mean it's always the same for all airports. Some airports, like SNS, have lower or higher patterns for one reason or another. In the case of SNS it's lower probably because of the adjacent Class C airspace of MRY. The place to find the *actual* pattern altitude of an airport is the Airport Facilities/Directory: aeronav.faa.gov/afd/30apr2015/sw_186_30APR2015.pdf Second line from the top in MSL(AGL) : TPA-884(800). In practice however, I doubt the tower is gonna ever call you out on a 200ft pattern altitude discrepancy. Safe flying, Luis.

[@Aviation101]

Luis M Ochoa Oh you're very correct, I remember reading that prior to the arrival in the NOTAM pack, but amongst all of the craziness of the day we must have forgot and assumed the standard! Good catch.

[@PilotLu]

No worries. I really enjoy your videos, your airmanship and attention to detail...keep'em coming!

[@Aviation101]

Will do! Thank's for watching them! I think a good lesson learned from this is to go over the information right before the flight it pertains to, instead of the night before a chain of flights. I guess I was so thrown by having to hand prop the airplane and deal with getting out of the mountains that simple bits of info slipped my mind, so we should have re-briefed the NOTAMs and arrival procedures in the airplane on the way there!

[@azcountry6064]

Excellent comment on IFR flight at 2:24, to get you out of trouble, not into it.

[@brenner5147]

Congrats on 40k, and great video!

[@NakedCoffeeChannel]

So interesting I subscribed. Thank you and Safe Trips!

[@christianorehek5841]

That was an awesome video! How many hours do you have? Is it possible you can upload footage from flying in New Mexico? Thanks for the awesome video!

[@Matmamtmamtmamtmamtm]

OUCH! You said "with you". Rookie

[@Matmamtmamtmamtmamtm]

***** I know, but that's a rookie mistake.

[@Matmamtmamtmamtmamtm]

***** I'm a training Private pilot in the U.K, but I fly on an online network called Pilotedge (look it up) and I am very familiar with FAA rules. I'm not saying that this mistake is worth a write up, but the point is, it waste's valuable frequency time.

[@Matmamtmamtmamtmamtm]

***** Whilst we're on the topic, what qualifications do you have?

[@Matmamtmamtmamtmamtm]

***** It's called satire. Grow up and learn about it.

[@AV4Life]

Matthew McColl-you do realize aviation regulations are different in the European Union vs the United States, right? (: Even though the FAA is recognized internationally; countries have their own regulations and I know the UK is different in a lot of ways from the US.

[@Mike-01234]

Went to 92 airshow in Salinas two F-14's Tomcat fighters put on a show like I never seen the engines were so loud could hear car alarms going off for miles around the airport. They did a high speed pass at 500 knots wings folded back I wonder if they shattered any windows on homes the direction they came from right over lot of houses.

[@MartinBroich]

Hi Josh, your videos are really outstanding. I love watching them. Just one question: When you are couting 1-1000, 2-1000, 3-1000. Why do you do this? Just a "silly" question from a german glider pilot. Greetings from Cologne, Germany Martin

[@Aviation101]

+Martin Broich I have to hold down my flaps switch to extend them, so I'm keeping track of how many degrees I have extended. 3 seconds yields about 10° of flaps.

[@747-pilot]

@@Aviation101 Thanks! I trained in a 152, which has proper "detents" and 30 degrees of flaps. Subsequently I flew a newer 172 SP, which also has the same setup. The flying club that I rent from now, only has a 172M and it has the same "continuous" flap switch and 40-degrees of max flaps. I hate it! You've given me a good way to estimate the amount of flaps, without having to divert my attention and look at that flap extension gauge!

[@dionwibisono1209]

You are the best dude! Im a big fan of you btw hahaha

[@Ray45929]

Hey my hometown airport.

[@blackninjaz1500]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU WENT TO APPLE VALLEY?!?!?!? I WISH I KNEW I WOULD HAVE BEEN THERE TO MEET YOU! :(((

[@rebelyell22]

I've never seen a 172 with a dip on the right side of the panel like that.

[@dray1205]

Very nice! What video editing software do you use Josh?

[@dozermedic18]

Hi Josh, old post but just found it. Not sure if you'll see my post and I'm sure your very busy. I live in the SF Bay Area but have grandkids in Georgetown KGTU. Was wondering what a comfortable time would be for the trip? Say a C172

[@johnforbes1582]

Great video! How many hours do you have?

[@rudysanchez5801]

[@chrislacey6036]

Oh my gosh the amount of money it must coast to fly that far!

[@Joshcradz]

I guess its pricey but i bet thats only for fuel and food? and you can grab some cheap fuel

[@lucasmartin-heid8899]

Are you going to be at Oshkosh?

[@dam4274]

What was the fuel cost for such a flight?

[@tannerbaker3576]

Can you make video on filling out flight plan

[@ZachIaviation]

Move up to the SR22 you will be glad you did!

[@Aviation101]

Aviation Nation HAHAHA Moving from a C172 to an SR22 is no easy financial endeavor for a college student.

[@ZachIaviation]

only $800,000

[@KevinZheng618]

Aviation Nation not to mention I think and I'm pretty sure the SR22 has a parachute? Which makes it pretty expensive no ejection seats though just a parachute to slow down your fall when you stall or run out if fuel

[@DA-qn1tf]

Hi there ! have you experienced some hypoxia's symptoms above 10k ft ?

[@lowella8600]

I wouldn't call being cautious about climbing out of big bear as all h*** breaking loose I think that's a bit of an overstatement

[@1212jtm]

"I'm a Cherokee" *gets off comms and makes Indian noises*

[@aviatortrevor]

I've seen a mechanic try to hand-prop a C172SP. It was incredibly difficult to get the engine started that way. The prop on that plane just doesn't easily spin. I don't know what the C172 N or M models are like.

[@DDDewd]

aviatortrevor 172SP is fuel injected. My friend hand propped one just for fun. It's very difficult.

[@aviatortrevor]

DDDewd Yeah, I suppose that makes sense that a carburettor-type engine would be easier to hand-prop than a fuel-injected engine.

[@Aviation101]

aviatortrevor 991 is an M model (carburetor) and it was kinda easy :)

[@t.8584]

Nice video but i have a question how did you guys breathe up there at 12000 feet, since the 172 does not have a pressurized cabin.

[@bythetimeyoufinishedreadin9083]

at 12k feet you don't need O2

[@AzangBugs]

Nice videos, but I am easily confused. You mentioned being VFR Over The Top after cnx'ing IFR... OK, but why the IFR cruising altitudes? Did ATC want you there? Whether you are VFR On Top or VFR Over The Top, you should be at VFR altitudes, unless something has changed in the last couple years that I missed. As far as the VFR vs IFR argument goes, choose whichever one is easiest. Sometimes IFR is the easier way to go.

[@Aviation101]

AzangBugs we could have been IFR, but temps were below freezing outside, and being in the clouds would make us pick up up. If ATC authorizes us to cruise at 12K, then boom, good to go. ATC authorized it. If we weren't on flight following, however, we would certainly stick to VFR altitudes.

[@rocket862]

Dumb question --> Why do you count when lowering your flaps? I know they are electric and take some time, but I don't see the purpose of counting. I like my Piper Arrow manual flaps. I also need a TBM 850 like Stevio......

[@nickcahill8156]

+rocket862 because his Cessna doesn't have degree indicators for flaps, just an up and down switch. So he has to count when putting 10 degrees 15... etc etc

[@williambblack9792]

This may be a stupid question so bear with me. Since you had a problem with your starter and were forced to hand-prop to get the engine started, what would happen if you suddenly had an engine problem during flight that caused your engine to stop? Wouldn't the starter be required to re-start the engine?

[@Aviation101]

William B Black You are correct if the airplane loses enough speed where the prop would stop because of the lack of wind. Otherwise, if you keep the glide speed up, you can attempt to restart by just using the wind.

[@gbigsangle3044]

So you got into the air with a known starter issue...suppose the engine quit enroute? Ooops.

[@brandonmaso177]

+GBigs Angle The starter has nothing to do with the engine continuing to run.....

[@gbigsangle3044]

+Brandon Maso The starter was a known problem...what the actual cause was still open to question. Since he knew the starter was dead an engine problem in the air could have been made worse with no chance to restart.

[@Aviation101]

+GBigs Angle HAHA! In the air, the starter isn't used all too often. The prop windmills, thus introduce mixture and it should fire if the mags are on. Now, unless you killed the engine purposefully on your own in the air, a restart won't do you any good. You have other problems. How do you think airplanes without starters get around just fine? Maybe all older airplanes without starters shouldn't be flying.... lol

[@f3nd13y]

I would chose IFR over VFR anyday

[@gunslinger748]

Sence I am not a pilot, but I do have a few hours in a C 150 with a buddy of mine that is a pilot, He showed me how to hand crank it, and I did it a couple of times what a hell of experiance wow. But I guess i failed to ask him what if your at a airport by yourself and this problem that josh was talkin about , happens,whats the process to hand crank the airplane if your there by yourself ?

[@danm6665]

You can't hand start an engine by yourself. If somehow you found a way, everyone everywhere ever would advise against it

What is VFR, VER and IMC?

[@HDAviationofficial]

SHARProductionz VFR, IFR, and IMC refer to flight conditions, VFR means: Visual Flight Rules, or navigation based on sight outside the aircraft. IFR being instrument flight rules, where to use the instruments inside the cockpit for navigation. IMC is instrument meterological conditions, meaning basically IFR conditions.

[@weskohler]

Anyone know of any good aviation iPad apps? Please let me know I would really appreciate it!
