Boston Logan Airport - Departure in an A36 Bonanza - Patient Airlift Flight to Presque Isle, Maine

From clearance at Boston Logan, through Taxi and takeoff... then we time-warp to Presque Isle for the visual approach and ultimately the cancellation of IFR on the ground. Clear VFR day transporting a patient and her mother home from a medical appointment in Boston.
I tried to make this video informative for pilots (and enthusiasts) who haven't flown into Boston, but who might consider it if they knew what to expect.
I walk through getting clearance. Then the SID (standard Instrument departure), which in the case of an aircraft with prop(s) will be the Logan 4 departure. Then taxiing to the runway and the takeoff/departure.
From there we zip up to Presque Isle, Maine which is way up on the Canadian border. It's farther from Boston than New York City. In Presque Isle we perform a visual approach to runway 28 and then we cancel our IFR clearance once we are safely on the ground.
If you're thinking about flying into/out of Logan in a g.a. airplane, I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have.
Also for what it is worth, all fees are waived at Logan if you are performing a compassion flight, so you could arrive early and experience the city and/or get that Bravo airport experience with out the Bravo airport price. If you would like to know more about flying for PALS, reach out to me or go here:

Flying for PALS is one of the most gratifying things you can do with your pilot's license.

"This was the best day ever!" -- glad you could give her that experience.

[@timetofly401]

Me too. She has had lots of PALS flights to and from Boston for medical treatment. More than any kid should have. I was glad to have been able to make that flight fun and memorable for her.

Nicely done..salute to you for supporting such a good cause. What year is your A36?

It is a 1982. New engine and prop in 2021.

Excellent look into the SID at Logan and the nonstop communication going on. Thank you for your service to these patients!

I was a PALS copilot for a bit but haven't done anything over the last couple years. If ya need a copilot, let me know. PP SEL 350 hours.

[@timetofly401]

Will do. In weather that is less than perfect, it is always good to have a second set of eyes and ears in the cockpit.

Great video. Do you slot your run up in while you're holding in sequence?

[@timetofly401]

Anytime I am at a Bravo airport (BOS, JFK, CLT, etc.), I will either do the run up on the FBO ramp (assuming the engine is warm enough) or while waiting in sequence. I actually prefer to do it on the FBO ramp, so that I'm able to really listen to what's going on during the taxi, especially if I'm single-pilot. You make a good point in bringing this up. The Tower is going to expect you to be ready to go when you get up to the runway.

[@matthewgeorge9905]

@@timetofly401 Makes sense. I never know what the FBO run up etiquette is. By the way, these are GREAT videos - I'm based out of BED and these are awesome previews on what it's like to fly into BOS. Post more GA into bravo!

[@abnerbonilla2633]

Where is the run up area at KBOS?

[@timetofly401]

On the FBO ramp typically. I'll let the line guys marshal me out of my spot and then go to a corner of the ramp that is not going to bother anyone with my prop-wash and then I'll do my run up there. I call for taxi after that. You will be expected to be ready when you get to the runway. You could let ground control know that you need a run up when you first call them. They would likely direct you to a spot out of their way someplace and then have you call back when the run up is complete. Some folks do it while waiting in line, but I prefer to get it done before I start to taxi.
