[@glujaz]

He cheated, everything was already planed before, and had already programmed everything! I want to see him do the same in Europe, where eurocontrol loves to change everything last minute because the planned route (which has to be generated by eurocontrol) is not the best one and ATC improves the route at clearance and in cruise ! 🤣 (Yeah, honestly, I was impressed ! 😬)

[@reason6835]

I was looking for someone to say this. I was like "You're not gonna write that down?" Then perfect read back... "oh, I guess he doesn't need to!" LOL

[@jordan65730]

Most times (but not always) the clearance is "as-filed" so you're just cross-checking against your navigator with no need to take notes if the clearance remains the same.

[@reason6835]

@@jordan65730: If it’s not as you filed it, and you weren’t writing it down, you’re going to have to make ATC say it all over again for you.

[@jordan65730]

Not sure about 850, on 700 there is a "runup" pre-takeoff checklist which includes feathering the prop, overspeed test, de-ice system checks, standby alternate electric as well as rechecking previous items pre-takeoff. These are all opportunities to either correct missed items or reject a takeoff if they don't check out.... stuff that's preferable to sort out on the ground before takeoff which do not seem to be addressed by Matt's procedures.

Are TBM engine hours derived from engine tachometer hours, engine operating hours, or flight hours (squat switch)?

Rash, wrinkling, or tearing skins is never a good thing. Flying the TBM below 18 at night when conditions are favorable and just above 10000 MSL especially at 1-2 thousand AGL would be most fun I think. ❤

It could be a problem if the journey is the destination, and it gets you there before you really want to be there.

With the recent crash with this type of aircraft - do be aware that in conditions where you could see icing - do not use autopilot at is will mask changes to flight char until it cant compensate and boom you are in stall. Sad stuff that happened.

[@chrisa9159]

I’m posting on your recent video so you have a chance to read what I have to offer. I have seen many of your videos and I am astonished you are still alive. Your habit of cockpit distractions, rolling checklists, etc. will one day end your flight status, one way or the other. It really doesn’t take much to be a basic pilot; the desire and ability to understand flight dynamics and the ability to not get vertigo. You must be incredibly fortunate having a “fly in” home with a L-39 and a few million in other aircraft. KZbin pilots are all the rage now and some are dying left and right because they are spending more time making videos than flying the plane. I see some KZbin channels with young pilots that still practice perfect flying skills including checklist management; the ability to sit in your plane, not moving and simply take your time, line by line to make damn sure the PLANE is ready for use. I don’t think I have seen you do that once. You seem like many others trying to create a KZbin financial windfall with “clickbait” video subject lines, which is tell-tale of character. I sincerely wish you the best and hope you will eventually steer yourself into a safer path of flying, but given your “fortunate nature” I doubt that will happen anytime soon and mark my words, YOU will one day make an avoidable mistake and hopefully other lives won’t be included. You have had pilot friends that have killed themselves, so you understand what I mean. Please, straighten up and fly right…

[@igclapp]

I'm pretty sure Matt over-dramatises these videos for effect. Matt's a CFI and trains upset recovery in the L-39. One of these days when I'm in the States I might take his course. I would expect it to be 100% professional and no-nonsense as long as the cameras aren't rolling! 😅

[@chrisa9159]

@@igclapp I'm not trying to be a "bump on a log", but someone in the community needs to speak up. These youngins are killing themselves one after the other nowadays and it's 99% preventable. Sorry, but becoming an instructor is pretty darn easy, most aren't worth squat and to me means absolutely NOTHING if you can't walk the walk every time you fly. I have dreamed of attending the Jet Warbird training center he went to in New Mexico to check out in the L39. Now, those guys are pros! I've only recently been able to seriously consider spending the $300K for the L39 and another $100K for great avionics (and a cool paint job) plus being able to afford to garage it with those guys. But, I'm not a multi-millionaire kid surfing from one adventure to another. Just an old schooler sick and tired of folks treating planes like cars on the road. Consider there are about 232 million licensed drivers in the U.S., only about 104 of them die every day in car accidents, but there are only about 413,700 GA pilots in the U.S. and about 0.6 of them die every day in GA accidents; and rising.

[@igclapp]

@@chrisa9159 I hear you. I'm in a similar situation plane-wise as you. I think Matt is a very good pilot, but as you rightly point out too many young pilots are getting killed. And these were not stupid people for the most part. Two recent fatalities were MIT grads (Matt knew both of them). My former boss was an MIT grad and died while flying his Yak about 20 years ago. I personally know of another MIT grad who continued VFR and nearly died. So although I trust Matt's skill and intelligence to always bring him through, it's a fact that anyone can make a fatal mistake.

[@NovackNGoode]

No need for an L39 to teach upset recovery. I would consider he uses that as a reason to make other people pay the costs so he can enjoy some Aeros in his his L39.

@@igclapp You know what I meant. So it's an RNAV GPS or whatever. In the end it's an Instrument Landing and I'd like to know what caused that plane to crash there recently. Was it pilot error or is it that dangerous landing there? Thanks

[@igclapp]

@@JoeSmith-nu8oo That Truckee crash is a bit puzzling. In theory the plane should have been able to fly ok in that weather, unless he hit a large amount of freezing rain or drizzle that caused icing beyond what the plane's systems could handle. But I think it's more likely something happened to confuse him and disorient him, and he let the plane get too slow and stalled it.

[@JoeSmith-nu8oo]

@@igclapp I think he had already flown 2 missed approaches not sure and I think the pilot became disoriented in those conditions leading to a stall. Have you flown into there?

You're such a good role-model for other pilots. Reviewing your checklist (i konow folks a saying he's not, but he definitely is) multiple times, checking every gauge, switch multiple times, shows you're not a lazy pilot. So many pilots just check once and move on, and end up missing something.
