Cessna Citation XL, Coffee Catastrophe in Atlanta

[@garyw6494]

When you get the traffic alert it appears there are two aircraft at the lower left corner of the windscreen beginning at 8:09 to 8:12

[@mcotherman5957]

Yes. Don't think the pilot could have seen the traffic. Much closer laterally than they thought too.

[@garyw6494]

Agree, the traffic was in a blind spot from both pilots positions

[@kimosabbe50]

I guess it's good I'm not a pilot, as I slowed the playback to 1/4 speed, played it numerous times, and I still can't see it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@SRiggle56]

Super smooth landing.

[@shreddder999]

Controller had the wrong antenna selected. 12:19 Haven't you heard? They installed one of those new, soft runways.

[@robertowenbennett]

Great way to start the day!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Robert.

[@hectormuzquiz5277]

Cap’t I had to rewind twice to confirm you touched, probably the smoothest landing I have seen! Good Job Skipper!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Hector. Sometimes you get one just right.

[@Steve-zr3lo]

I like this one. Makes me want to start my exercise. Great way to start the day!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Steve. I appreciate that.

[@truckertim2958]

Nice landing Captain!!!🛫

[@victorcurmi9631]

Thank you for sharing your flying adventures. Happy Holiday to you and your family. Stay safe. Cheers, Victor

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Victor, have a great holiday this year and stay safe.

[@Adam_Gray]

Classic! "why don't you just float it down" Captain that was definitely a greaser 🛬

[@captmoonbeam]

In all honesty it felt like the runway wasn’t even there.

[@chrisburress9747]

Three Mondays in a row outstanding I have to agree with Mike nice landing

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks, I’m getting ahead. I’ve already got one ready to go next Monday.

[@ericlozen9631]

Impressive Landing

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks

[@lutherlewis6792]

Years ago when I lived in Atlanta I remember a small jet was taken down by birds at Peachtree Dekalb. There was a dump near the runway that attracted the birds.

[@captmoonbeam]

Birds and airplanes don't mix well.

[@subsailor.9672]

Best Landing ever... Well Done Captain.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Jon.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

That scooter looked like fun. You be careful now, Jim! It ain't a motorcycle, but a wall still hurts on a scooter! 😁 Sorry about the coffee there! I had a similar casualty with my eggs the other morning. The cats were happy about that one, as the yoke ran down to the floor. Glad you missed the vulture there! Yikes! Really get a sense of the speed when something like that happens. He went by in a blink! I've seen similar close calls on KZbin with drones. Not good! Thanks for sharing - great stuff as always, Jim. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, in case I miss the next video or 2. 🍻

[@captmoonbeam]

That's a good point Smitty. It literally happened in a an instant with almost no time to react. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@danthedirt9286]

What a loveable guy and great KZbinr and pilot. I hope your doing well man and hope you stay happy and keep doing what your doing🙏🏻bless you man

[@CAPFlyer]

Much longer and you'll be buying a Boosted Board and riding around like Stevo1Kinevo... :)

[@captmoonbeam]

He's the guy for lessons on it. I met him in Tampa a few days ago. Just had a minute to talk. We were both loading up passengers.

[@bruschi8148]

[@tomcotton6308]

Get a scooter for you and the family . Might have some skinned knees . But it would be fun . Keep up the great work .

[@fishhisy]

Or a One wheel, but you can't take it on airline flights for the battery

[@larrymayberry2312]

Fantastic landing. Enjoy your videos.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Larry.

[@bradok3695]

Thanks for the video Captain, always puts a smile on my face. Love the scooter footage. 😀

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Brado.

[@johndemerse9172]

Great video Jim. It must be hard sometimes to pick out aircraft below you!

[@captmoonbeam]

They can be difficult to spot.

[@jerplane400]

Great landing Capt!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@ryanp6999]

Lol, those scooters are fun.

[@richardschindler8822]

Never luck, skill, pure and simple.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Richard.

[@BenNstyle]

The turkey buzzard did a nose dive when he saw the citation on the tip of his beak 😂

[@captmoonbeam]

That’s exactly what he did.

[@pdutube]

ADS-Buzzard traffic alert!

[@nashguy207]

We have those scooters all over downtown now but I haven't road one yet. Glad to see you missed the Turkey Vulture that might ruined your day. Have a hreat week Jim!!!

[@captmoonbeam]

The GoPro doesn’t show how big he really was. Would have done some damage.

[@crjsim]

Thank you Capt. enjoyed this one!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks for watching.

[@ricardopena3995]

Hey Capt, can you do a video on your morning routine?

[@captmoonbeam]

Probably won’t do that but I may expand on it in the future.

[@aponoypi]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year. When i was working and traveling loved Marriott breakfast. Half and half cranberry and orange juice

[@captmoonbeam]

They had a good breakfast.

[@planecents9170]

Great landing Capt! love these videos!

[@captmoonbeam]

Need a landing machine in the weight room.

Thanks.

Love that scooter! Wonder if Mike tried one. The approach to Spirit gets ever more familiar. :) Another enjoyable video Jim, thanks.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Chris, I was solo on that adventure.

[@wlflightlr]

Nice shots coming back into Spirit!

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks.

[@jackvisser]

TY fo another Great Video! And this is wishing you and the Family a Very Merry Christmas

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Jack. Hope you have a great Christmas also.

[@alexknight5465]

Love the flying, not so much the coffee, scooter , breakfast and workout.

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks Alex, the next video has less of that stuff.

[@heily-3806]

Geez that Learjet could’ve taken off and been in another state by the time you landed.

[@bigd5026]

Hi Jim- nice seeing you again- I mean on KZbin Lol 👋😉 Be careful on those scooters, if you come to Fort Lauderdale FL. they are everywhere..

[@captmoonbeam]

Will do, I don’t think they have them here. I’ll have to go to Florida.

[@bigd5026]

The scoots looks fun but the jeter is better!

[@captmoonbeam]

I agree.

[@XX-166]

Waiting for part 2 😎

[@captmoonbeam]

It’s up next Monday at 07:00.

[@WSmith2024]

Hows the scooter acquisition work? People just leave them anywhere and they are fair game?

[@captmoonbeam]

That’s the impression I had.

[@PaulGarthAviation]

3:23 Do they give you some kind of ground school and a type-rating before renting those scooters?

[@captmoonbeam]

It’s a learn as you go thing.

[@chrisbowpiloto]

That footage of the bird was crazy! Have you ever taken evasive action for a bird?

[@captmoonbeam]

yes but, there's very little time to react.

[@chrisc161]

Come to San Diego scooters are everywhere.

[@captmoonbeam]

I love San Diego.

[@nnordby78]

Flying, right through the stop sign.

[@captmoonbeam]

Oops

[@mikecawood]

A great breakfast there.

[@captmoonbeam]

Best meal of the day.

[@rorymcloughlin2023]

When I am stuck like that I just put the coffee into the cup, remove the filter part and let the hot water flow directly into the cup. Works everytime :-)

Thanks for the technique Rory.

Woohoooo.... mine is the 750th like... what can I say, I like round numbers! 😂

[@ralphhippard2995]

How about more forward views?

[@captmoonbeam]

Thanks for the suggestion Ralph.

[@gregalberts7458]

Morning Jim as a cargo pilot can you touch base on when you use the strobe's light and when they get turned off thanks

[@captmoonbeam]

Hi Greg. We turn them on when we taxi onto the runway and off as we leave the runway after landing. I addition we sometimes turn them off at night in in the clouds, because they can be very distracting.

[@llaughridge]

Greg Alberts Nav lights: any time the plane has electrical power (master on). Beacon: on to indicate before engine start; off after shutdown. Taxi light: give the line guy a quick flash when you’re cleared for taxi so they know to start marshaling you forward, then on steady once you’ve turned so you don’t blind them; off with after-takeoff checklist; on with before-landing checklist; off when you make visual contact with the marshaller waving you into the ramp. Strobes: when cleared onto the runway for takeoff or line-up-and-wait, or when taxiing across an active runway; off when clearing. Landing light: NOT UNTIL you hear the words “cleared for takeoff”; stays on any time below FL180; off above FL180; off after clearing.

4:02 I am watching from my actual bed.

LOL, I can picture that. I'm sitting in my basement watching the snow fall.

[@laneborden5663]

Glad the coffee was the biggest mess you encountered, not the bird 😉✈️😉

[@captmoonbeam]

So am i

[@ChrisMuncy]

Good morning Jim. Just curious, how do those scooters get charged?

[@captmoonbeam]

Good morning Chris. They pay people to pick them up at night and take them home to charge them

[@gtr1952]

That Citation is a nice gig! And you get paid for that to?! LOL 8)

[@ryanfortin4344]

Coffee? Do you follow Steve-O's 1hr rule??🤣 "Coffee Time" Although your bird has a bathroom, not the same worries as a TBM....

[@captmoonbeam]

What is his rule?

[@jimclark28]

I believe he breaks out the coffee 1 hour prior to his destination.

[@darrylturner7398]

Please wear helmet when riding scooter. Are you flying less or just not filming much lately. Be safe. Blue sky.

[@captmoonbeam]

I did need a helmet. I was busy with a lot of stuff.

[@k1mgy]

Try putting the VIA coffee in the cup, then add the heated water. :)

[@captmoonbeam]

That’s a much better idea.

[@benmartz3405]

Im sending you a bird scooter for christmas

[@captmoonbeam]

When it shows up on the app will it say, “Captmoonbeam’s scooter”

[@prereed]

Greased the landing. Exercise will do that.

[@captmoonbeam]

That’s what I’ve heard.
