Thanks for visiting us.

[@randytingen]

Thanks for flying me to the Bahamas Captain Val.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Thank you for flying along Randy! ✈️👩🏻‍✈️🇧🇸

[@simonwiltshire7089]

I remember being told years ago by a great pilot, ‘in a plane always wear foot ware you can walk out of a crash in’.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Absolutely! I heard that many times too. I always make sure I am wearing great “flying shoes” before a flight.

[@marahbadrian]

What types of shoes would be great flying shoes?

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

@@marahbadrian personally, I don’t fly with sandals or flexible sole shoes. Driver’s shoes, running shoes. Some ladies wear flats while flying.

[@LAP1050]

Nice flight Capt. Val, as always, “Smooth Operator”👍

Eric and Val, thank you for taking on the effort of producing KZbin videos for us. Very likely, this is as close as I will get to landing at Freeport; it is an incredibly beautiful place, and I am sure one your favorite destinations. As always, looking forward to our next flight!

Great to see you guys and one eight seven niner lima, of course! I love the playback feature, that’s the first time I’ve seen it used. Very, very helpful. Is that a function of the radio or something else? The water is as blue as the sky, amazing! Fun the watch the shadow meet the plane on landing. Perhaps I shall call you Ambassador Valerie from here on? Thanks for taking me along 🤗

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Hi Peter, thank you for flying along with us to the Grand Bahama 🇧🇸 the playback feature is in the audio panel. More information here: www.avidyne.com/product_categories/audio-panels/

[@dereksbryan]

A beautiful flight in great weather, followed up with a landing which probably would win a spot landing prize any day of the week. I often wonder, when we fly with you, Val, if you were always so self-confident, or if flying has made you that way. I would always feel comfortable with you in command, as you demonstrate the virtues of planning, checking and verifying each action, and never being tempted to cut corners. Thanks to you and Eric for another brilliantly presented, high-quality video.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Hi Derek, thank you so much for flying with us. Glad you enjoyed it. Throughout the years with amazing mentors, instructors and with lots of practice anyone can be confident in their own skills. Always learning, always be a student ✈️💫 side note: I used to horseback…. Now 1879L is like my horse 🤩

I enjoyed this video so much. What a beautiful day to fly. I had to watch the takeoff twice, it was so wonderful to see and so detail. The way you work the camera keeps us glued to the screen. I also enjoy how you two let us know of little detail that is going on or that you are about to do, it makes us more involved in the flight. Lots of work to put this video together. Thank you guys.

[@rogerhummel3023]

Um, where’s the dog? Also, we talked about collecting school supplies and backpacks for donation, usually going to one of the islands (Bahamas), as you have done. How do we communicate regarding this, as I do not want to discuss it on an open channel like this. I’ve also relocated to South Florida, which means we are quite close, meaning that it would be quite easy to get the school supplies to you. Please let me know how this can work out in an ongoing ministry, if you will. Kind regards.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Hi Roger, too complicated to bring Eve and Teddy ( new labradoodle) to another country for such a short period. Not too mention most hotels don’t allow dogs. 😕 We’ve brought some schools supplies to Freeport a while ago. Email us if you have any questions. [e-mail]

[@DanFrederiksen]

yeah 1 mile strip that centrally couldn't be easy today. Was the take off nominal for the baron? it seemed to hang a while at the tree tops and use pretty much the entire runway. maybe I'm just used to seeing lighter aircraft. I guess a baron is among the aircraft that cannot return to the runway in case of engine loss.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

We have to 2 alternates in a 10 miles radius around FD08. On a hot day and dry runway we use a little less than half of the runway. Density altitude and grass are important factors for sure.

[@PilotDaveAviation]

Wow amazing flight, I have always wanted to fly to the Bahamas with my family, I belong to a flying club in Orlando, I just haven't committed to do it. Thanks for sharing your video

Hi TNFlygirl, we have the Century 41 auto pilot. Hope you get all the bugs adjusted.

[@brandonmiller5279]

My apologies. I was referring to the rudder pedals

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

G,day Eric and Captain Valerie from Sydney Australia. Brilliant vivid colors you have captured in this video. I do wonder why you hold the yoke back up to V1: is it because of grass takeoff and create lift asap? 🛩️🌏

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

“This does two things: 1) it reduces the weight on your nosewheel, and the stress it receives from the soft/rough field, and 2) it allows you to lift off as soon as possible. During the takeoff roll, your nose wheel will lift of first.” www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/maneuvers/soft-field-takeoff/

Perfectly explained here 👆

Hi Captain Valerie. How did you guys and your Baron fair out in Florida during 🌀 Ian? P.S. always love your videos.

[@RusscanFLY]

When you do your run up on the grass strip, and the grass is wet, does the plane ever try to skid on you? I was just wondering that with that power input with a twin that wrecked grass could be problematic. Thanks for the content!

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Very good question. We never attempted to takeoff when the grass is wet. I would think it would skid but our main concern is to get stuck. I’ve seen pilots do it and it very scary. Personally, I would not recommend it.

We sought the turbo out. We enjoy the extra power when needed. The maintenance is minimal, or what we have experienced.

@@SkylineBaronPilot what’s your normal cruise speed you see, altitude you normally fly at, and fuel burn ? Also at annual do you see compression low ? I’m seeing great prices on the TC I’m assuming most people are avoiding them. I came from a turbo arrow and the turbo was so nice
