Chicago to New York in the HondaJet!

Don I can’t tell you enough how much I love your channel, I came here for aviation but I’ve watched some of your real estate vids as well and I’ve been very inspired as I have always wanted to obtain my real estate license as a side business for years and I feel the market is hot enough in recent years where now is the time and your vids have given me a nudge in making that decision!

[@ioptimizerealty]

Nick, real estate can be a great way to make a living. Either residential or commercial. The barrier to entry is low as you only need to get your sales license. That said, the barrier to true success is high, like any business. Hard, dedicated work and study is the way. It can be done. It is done every day. Life is short, push hard!

Great video. Your getting good at this video stuff 👍. Very informative. Love the Skyhawk. 😂

[@ioptimizerealty]

Brian, I started in Skyhawks and Piper Warriors. All planes are good as long as they are maintained well. They all have their place for various missions. Thank you for the comment on the video production. We work hard at improving with each one, so stay tuned for more.

Just found your channel. Unusual how low your sub numbers are considering the amazing aviation content you are producing! Great videos especially the ones in and out of NY. Safe travels sir and thank you for your service.

[@ioptimizerealty]

Thank you for discovering the channel and taking the time to watch our videos! Your comment means a lot and we're glad you found the aviation content amazing, especially the ones in and out of NY. Your support and kind words motivate us to keep creating.

That take off looked like fun ! great vid as usual.

[@ioptimizerealty]

It was and thank you for watching. More soon...

What A AWESOME Video! As A Sports Pilot Who Flies His Ultralight Class A POWERED PARACHUTE I 100% FULLY Understand Of The CROSS WIND Take Off & Landing. Very Very Similar To Your Flying Just On A Much WAY SLOWER & Enjoyable Outside Flight. I Joined your Channel As A HUGE FLIGHT Enthusiast. Thank you For Allowing to Rie Along In Your Beautiful Jet. Ever Been to My Home State Of The Beautiful BIG SKY Of MONTANA! Bozeman Is The LARGEST Airport In Montana With Breath Taking Views. Thanks For Sharing.

[@ioptimizerealty]

Never been to Bozeman. I love watching Ultralights fly. Now, that is real flying in my book. Be safe.

[@ralphups7782]

nice, very smooth landing sir. 👈👺👀👀👍

[@ioptimizerealty]

Many many thanks

[@bpaddon]

Why did your passenger (clearly not a pilot) have his hands on the yoke so much before takeoff ?

[@ioptimizerealty]

Great question. Because the wind was moving the yoke so I asked him to hold it while I did other tasks. Gotta use what assets you have :-)

[@davidinman2130]

Thanks for the videos! I love the HondaJet with my MS Flight Sim. In the sim I land at Block Island (Rhode Island) which has a 2500’ runway). Taking off is difficult but I do it. Is this an inaccuracy in the sim or do you think it’s possible if conditions were right?

[@ioptimizerealty]

I think it is possible, but highly unrecommended in the real plane. In jets you have what is called a balanced field length. So, if the computer says you need 3,400' of runway (which takes into account your weight, and the density altitude at that moment of the field - Google for me info on density altitude if you don't know) that has two parts. The amount of runway you actually need for takeoff AND the amount of runway you would need to do an emergency stop if something was wrong before V1. Google balance field length images to see what I am saying. So, in the sim world, you could, but in the real world you never would because you could end up in the trees.

[@gtmako]

Thx for the laugh, loved your conversation about the instruments. I got my PPL in 1985 in a 172sp. What did you drive before the Honda? thx for the videos

[@ioptimizerealty]

Thank you for watching. I started with old Piper Warriors for my private and instrument. Then I moved up to a Mooney Ovation (great plane), then a Piper Meridian (another good plane) and now the HondaJet Elite S. I have been really happy with them all, but by far, the HondaJet is the most impressive plane I have personally flown. Don

The transitlion level in Europe is ten thousand feet.

[@ioptimizerealty]

I've heard that. Interesting.

[@davidmullet1030]

Dumb question do you ever use the speed brake all the way to roll out for shorter runways?

[@ioptimizerealty]

David, not a dumb question. The speed brake is either out or not from the pilot's control, but the system will modulate how much it is out depending on your speed. I love the speed brake on the HJ and find it highly useful at certain times. I don't typically use it on landing, but should. HJ suggests it and I will start giving it a try. My focus is on speed control (being right on Ref), glideslope and putting the wheels down by the thousand foot marker. Deploying the speed brake thereafter could only help, albeit probably not by much.
