It's something of a phenomenon how one minor unanticipated event can turn even the most routine flight into something of a nightmare. Many accidents have occurred in the past where pilots become so fixated on minor issues that they forget to fly the aircraft. Disciplined pilots like Max here show you how to handle problems like this, never becoming distracted enough that flying the airplane wasn't the primary task. Good job Max!

[@waholoopesorry74]

Right, but if I were him I wouldn’t have even tried to push the electric trim switch. That could have sent it out of whack and locked his trim all the way in one direction. Best thing to do if there is an issue is to not risk causing another one

[@joshuab1707]

As they teach in aviation training: Aviate Navigate Communicate Handle situations in that order and you'll be fine.

[@ReneChewbaka]

I beg to differ... he is extremely distracted by his video production and comes across as somewhat apprehensive in dealing with the trim question..

[@reefhound9902]

A minor issue is one that someone else experiences. Like surgery.

[@jc11250f45]

Interesting that the trim circuit breaker was not checked and was not in the checklist. CitationMax is a very well organized pilot so this is a little bit of a surprise to me..

[@subsoar5734]

the southwest guy with "can you say that altitude again, I'm turning too many knobs here" is SO real lmao

[@stevenwest000]

😂

[@AP-we8ig]

OMG SMALL WORLD! I just randomly watched this video and heard myself in the background! Hi from San Marcos, that’s me on the comms at 18:59 ! Skyhawk 6319G ! ❤✈️

[@zacpennebaker8972]

Wow that’s so funny! 😂

[@skyepilotte11]

Citation Dad and Mom are blessed to have a professional pilot transport them ...Great flight Max !

[@CitationMax]

Thank you! Appreciate you watching the video and your kind words. Take care.

[@Bill_N_ATX]

Watching you use bleed air to clean off the windshield reminded me of an incident that happened when I was a ramp rat for a cargo handling company in the 80s. We handled some old DC-8s for an air freight company and these still had their original P&W JT3D turbofans. They were airstart but since they were not high bypass engines they didn’t need the huge amounts of air to start like a modern engine. So we used a large “bottle” of compressed air which was in reality a tank of compressed air on a trailer. It held just enough air to start one of the turbines and it would be used to start the rest. This was in Florida and it was a warm and muggy evening and everything was covered in moisture much like in the video. It was time to start the jet and the Captain signaled to start number 2. The Flight Engineer opened the air valve and the turbine started to spin up. Once it got to speed the Captain opened the throttle to add fuel. However, just as he did this, the First Officer decided he needed to use bleed air to blow off the windshields. Oops. Apparently he was new and used to using engine driven start carts that had an endless supply of compressed air and not a tank that had just enough. Long story short, the tank ran out before the turbine was really up to speed and before it was generating enough airflow to be self sustaining. So the turbine spools down and a flaming stream of JetA comes flowing out the back of the jet. Thankfully, the Captain was fast enough and had the throttles closed before it got too bad but it did scare those of us on the ground. It took us almost a half hour to go borrow a start cart from Delta and hook it up. The Capn was giving the FO an earful the whole time. As for me, it was something I’ll always remember.

[@freddiev125]

Watching your videos, is like being part of the adventure; Thanks ! ✈️

[@philoshaughnessy906]

Huge respect to the pilot of the Bonanza. That was just so kind.

[@davidwolf226]

A busy flight, indeed, Max. I'm always impressed with your flight management skills.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks David! Glad you enjoyed it. Hope all is well

[@iammrvain]

Max, I am halfway through the video so I don’t know what your mechanical issue was going to be yet. I want to say beforehand thank you for your professionalism, for doing it the right way and vocalizing your thoughts. I’m a 53-year-old man who just got his commercial, working this next 2 weeks on my multi. I hope to get my first paying gig in the next couple of months. You are an inspiration! Keep doing what you’re doing my friend. You’re making a bigger difference than you may realize…

[@fatgosunerd]

Good luck on your multi checkride!

[@WungoBungo]

Inspiring to me to hear you getting your commercial at 53! That’s fucking awesome dude.

[@bhollingsworth]

Max -- this content has been bonkers man. Thanks as always for sharing your journey and giving us some of the best PJ flying around!!!

[@bhollingsworth]

Also curious what the outcome of the Elec Pitch Trim was. Part replacement?

[@CitationMax]

Thanks so much Brandon! Really appreciate it and glad you’re enjoying the content. Re Trim. They came out and serviced the trim system. Re lubricated the Cables and worked on some connection lines to the Trim servo. Haven’t had an issue with it since!

[@Altius7855]

We love u Max !!!❤

[@gregoryl.4872]

Oh how I love flying in crappy weather. Also love how you remain so cool after losing the electric trim and had to hand fly then cancel your clearance. I was also impressed by the Barron pilot that showed courtesy and gave way to 2RF. In my next life I want a job like yours. Thanks for the video.

[@georgew.5639]

That was very dramatic when you popped up out of the fog. 😊

[@auzzierocks]

Yeah, I remember watching a KZbin video about how they had trim switch failure and they ignored it, the plane crashed because they were trying to trim it when the switches were installed upside down by the maintenance techs

[@duckgoose6234]

This channel and P1D are the two best aviation channels on youtube.

[@BridMhor]

They are my two favourites too.

[@CitationMax]

Thank you very much!

[@quicktastic]

Classy move by that Bonanza pilot.

[@CitationMax]

Very classy! It was much appreciated!

[@Starman2319]

Always a pleasure flying right seat with you, Max. Stay safe.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks for watching! Take care

[@robertsimpson9403]

Very nice, very professional

[@KendallRoy-w4b]

Always a pleasure flying right seat with you, Max. Stay safe.. Always a pleasure flying right seat with you, Max. Stay safe..

[@jimmykingsborough6549]

Nice job flying w/o AP. Love the way you describe what you are doing.

[@jimmykingsborough6549]

Let us know what Textron found with the AP issue. Thanks

[@CitationMax]

Thanks Jimmy! Appreciate it. Textron came out and fixed the issue. They serviced the trim system and applied some additional Lubricant to the cables connecting to the trim motor. Haven’t had a trim issue since this flight. Hope all is well. Thanks for watching

[@efransal6098]

Very nice landing Thanks for given us the opportunity to be with you on the flight, God bless

[@jonathanjones6072]

living my dream. thanks for taking us along. Cool to see the instruments so clearly.

[@87bones87]

Love the update at the end. Good touch

[@guthrie_1]

Westchester airport is the greatest. There’s almost never anyone there and you’re through security in like five minutes.

[@gordonsimpson3235]

That was excellent Max....busy flight!

[@CitationMax]

Thanks for watching Gordon!

[@marshallcarter6106]

Thanks for continued high quality, professional, CLICKBAIT-FREE videos. Keep 'em comin'.

[@aaronrazz9676]

Beautiful flight Max! We'll done on the trim failure protocol and smooth-no panic. We'll done, well done. C-ya!

[@CitationMax]

Thanks very much! Appreciate it.

[@nickhart5332]

Nice work as always Max! Loved hearing you talk with the bonanza and working it out with the other plane so the chance of a mid air went way down! How much easier it is having a small conversation with another pilot to work things out between yourselves instead of just position reports and assumptions is a really great thing and will always help keep GA pilots alive! Very cool sir!

[@ttrguy9952]

Best aviation channel! Max is a fantastic pilot and does everything by the book. Love this channel.

[@CitationMax]

Thank you very much. Appreciate your kind words. Take care!

[@vaughnbluejr5960]

You were busy as usual, but had a little extra on your plate with the trim issue. Glad you got it fixed. I enjoy flying with you.

[@TenantRepGuru]

Outstanding flight Max. Love the minimums takeoff through our complex airspace. You handled the trim failure in your usual, professional manner. Pure textbook, this is how you do it. Great video too. Loved the intro music. Don

[@CitationMax]

Thanks very much Don! Hope all is well.

[@davidfogel4578]

Max, I really like your interaction with the controllers. What a great group.

[@ontic100]

Stay healthy and safe sir.

[@JaimeCCS]

Thankfully you got the San Antonio Citation Service Center near Gillespie County Airport. Glad to see everything is working good now.

[@chrisperez8092]

Amazing management skills and narrative skills while being a top notch pilot!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your skills with us!!!!

[@BridMhor]

Great video, a little bit more exciting than usual 😊.

[@TheFlyingZulu]

Too cool. Flying the traffic pattern like that in a citation must be fun. That would rarely happen flying for the Airlines.

[@YoDooDSup]

Omg can I just say after watching and being a pilot myself. Your landing was absolutely fabulous. Soft, quiet, just amazing. Good job brother and be safe my friend.

[@marty7935]

1:05 another great video. And to quote CitationMax1 term a little “sporty” in the fog then the trim issue. Glad it was minor fun watching u hand fly the approach

[@barrydavid9287]

Fault dealt with 'As cool as the proverbial Cucumber' another great video Max !

[@Cat-Branchman]

Hi Max, instrument student here. You make it look easy...thanks for the ride!

[@gregorygomez7975]

HOW YOU DOING CITATION MAX LOVE COMING ALONG WITH YOU ON ALL OF YOUR FLIGHTS. BE SAFE. GREG

[@williamsmith286]

Starting to really enjoy your vids,..Your knowledge and humility are top notch!

[@CitationMax]

Thank you very much William! Appreciate it

[@JeffreyVagell]

I love watching your videos, Feel like I am in the cockpit. Keep them coming.

[@kenmcconnell4148]

Just incredible handling such a high performance aircraft so effortlessly, & so great to see such great piloting detail, & perfect radio work, superb as always, an inspiration to all pilots

[@kylematthews2480]

Absolutely love your videos! Newcomer and I can’t get enough! Thank you!

[@CitationMax]

Thanks so much Kyle! Welcome to the channel. Appreciate it

[@blairlewis3583]

From a private pilot in Ohio. Your videos are awesome thank you very much for doing them.

[@kcross43]

Great video! Fredericksberg is a lovely town! Visited from the UK a few years back and got burned (Literally) in a little shop that sells various chilli sauces - blew my head off!!

[@volaticusfilms6185]

Great job on the flight! Nicely handled. Glad this didn't happen on way back to KHPN. Hope Citation Mom enjoyed it.

[@Marks-Law]

Nothing but Professionalism oozes from Max

[@airmenanderson3223]

Awesome! Citation Max... Godspeed...

[@ATMAtim]

F'burg is a nice little airport. Some good eats can be had there. Nice flight.

[@michaeljuster67]

Max..it’s just a complete pleasure to see how professional you go about everything although you are not flying to make a living. Your ateention to your (own) SOPS , checklists, and really really good airmanship, is just heartwarming to this old (777 capt) Capt. I’ll be your wingman anytime 😉

[@tanor2356]

Such a beautiful plane and the landing was so smooth. I miss flying . I cant wait to start ATP

[@Veteran1991]

Fly me to St. Lucia. The island with the Pitons .The most beautiful island in the Caribbean.

[@oljobo]

Another great video! That update on the trim on the end was appreciated! I was thinking:"What about the trim?" and Boom there was the answer 👍😊

[@edseavervinuesa-mz6gi]

Cool Kelsey. I had the Executive Membership for years, and used to sneak 3 other pilots, flight attendants or ground maintenance. Today, doesn't let anyone purchase any Membership at all! Only Top American Express Card Holders.

[@MrSuperawesome5000]

Awesome workload management. That was very cool to watch.

[@dheyes803]

Max, you made it to my birthplace. TX is mapped like its own country, weather variations occur each day; dry and sunny this morning, wet and cool by the afternoon. Hope you enjoyed your time there and got some wood-smoked barbecue (none of that gas grill stuff). Great flying with you.

[@magnificentmuttley2084]

I love that Max is always prepared for anything. That is ‘situational awareness’ and ‘preparedness’ at its best. A very professional attitude like this is what makes for the safest environment in any situation but here, in a single pilot operation, it takes as much of the stress out of the situation as possible. If someone is not properly prepared and has to think things through, it takes time and increases stress levels - that is not how Max works. I would trust his judgement in any situation when flying. Great job Max. Glad the electric trim issue was okay in the end. Best regards from the Giant’s Causeway coast of Northern Ireland. 😄👍☘️

[@shokburner]

Just landed at the same airport last weekend. Grabbed a bite at the hangar cafe, I love Fredericksburg!

[@Tom-qx3fu]

I haven't seen you in awhile glad you are back.

[@sebastianstyles9750]

So well managed. I’ve heard of pilots and copilots getting into verbal arguments over error messages, even punching and spitting on each other over the reason instead of flying the plane. Good on ya!

[@Neurorad53]

Nice… The dinner at the Hanger Hotel at T82 offers one of the best breakfasts anywhere in Texas! I hope that you got a chance to enjoy.

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

Citation Max you are top 10 of the best pilots i know. You grease most touch downs. Calm cool. I'd definitely hire you if I ever had the need.

[@CitationMax]

Thank you for watching Patrick! Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@Boodieman72]

Have to shout out to that Bonanza pilot for giving you priority.

[@CitationMax]

Absolutely! Was very nice of him.

[@xbin87116]

Fredericksburg is a kewl place to visit. If you're into military history they have some kewl things there.

[@MoonHowlerGaming]

You are so lucky and blessed to be flying such an awesome plane. The planes I have flown while doing my PPL were all older than me. Cessna 172 and 182 from the 70's. Had to give up on my dream of achieving my CPL. Got too expensive for me. Now I live vicariously through channels like yours, drueling over my desk and keyboard and flying in MSFS. No substitute for the real thing though... man do I miss it. Keep the videos coming.

[@MikeB-in1nd]

Nice flight but that sure was long.

[@Diego2504__]

i was waiting for a new video !!

[@christysonek9067]

Please try some infinity tumbling with this set up 😊 That would be really cool.

[@josefsmith3140]

Full IMC only done it once flying back from MEM to BNA nerve wracking as hell!

[@michellehenry6278]

Thank God there was no other issues.

[@beatrizwatanabe9908]

You are the Best ,God bless you .From Ensenada Baja California México

[@bearing_aficionado]

How much Crisco did you use to grease that landing? Flawless!

[@allanfarrow5391]

My knuckles were white and I wasn't even flying. Well done Max!

[@loucuevas3867]

Very professional Max. Enjoyed the flight.

[@stevepownceby5353]

Max... take up golf,you stayed cool under pressure, awesome job matey!

[@josecancio497]

All the activity, all this traffic and all this neck-craning...I can almost hear Kenny Loggins singing in the background.

[@AntonioCaruso906]

WOW 🤩An amazing tripreport,,, Greetings from the Netherlands (Europe)

[@Fignewton117]

Thats a long flight!

[@yaronsteinbuch3956]

Great video and job handling the technical matter! Your content is amazing. Thanks, Max!

[@jed1947]

Fredericksburg! A great place to visit. Saw the Hanger Hotel and Diner out your window on roll out.

[@thabangmonnakgotla]

Thanks Max.. loved this

[@roberthicks5704]

Nice flight as always Max. I honestly felt as if I was sitting in the seat next to you. Looking forward to your next adventure. Greetings from North Mississippi.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks for watching!

[@dalemullins4562]

nice AQP, way to talk and ask questions of other traffic's intentions! because you guys were going to meet at the same place at the same time!

[@bigearsandnoddy1]

Hiya Citationmax, super cool flight & video with super crisp coverage of the whole flight so please keep them coming GL&HF coming from Dulwich London England (✌️peace ✌️)

[@wotan10950]

Great adventure! HPN and SWF are my home airports.

[@rydawg7629]

I'm ordering some Citation Max socks!!

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.

[@kevingray7917]

Great management. Radio volume was often louder than you and difficult to hear you over radio traffic. Thanks for taking us along.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks Kevin! Working on the Audio levels. Appreciate your patience as I try and figure it out. Take care!

[@AlmaCurran]

Awesome job, Max! Love your vids!

[@MrNice-gw5dt]

nice flight Max!

[@nzlevim]

The title of this video got me nervous! I hope the electric trim got sorted with no dramas.

[@jimmcculloch3786]

Thank you and agree with all the comments below! Need to get MS Flight sim, to start learning :)

[@Brad_Whitley]

Interesting ... Tina and Adam Curry, the Pod Father, live in Fred and Adam is a pilot. May do a flight with him would be cool. Great vids CitationMax!

[@geoffmarsh7986]

Subscriber from the UK who has watched all your videos. I am a great fan of classic WW11 aircraft and fascinated with advanced complexity of the technology and your ability to fly solo. Would love to sit in the seat next to you, just to understand all the data displayed and how you multitask, just like F1 drivers have too when racing. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks !!!!!

[@J_Thomas24]

I swear that plane would never fire up if Max didn't make the "phew" sound when signaling engine start. 😁Love the vids dude!

[@pilotnana]

Awesome 👏

[@SethRiklin-mv3wq]

Thanks for sharing this interesting flight to T82. You handled the vertical trim issue with ease. Likely a sensor error. Next time you’re heading to T82, please give me a shout and I’ll hop over in the SF50. It’s my favorite $100 hamburger run from KTME.

[@CitationMax]

Hey Seth! Thanks so much for watching. Yes will definitely let you know. Cmom had meetings and was a quick and busy day trip. Next time love to meet and grab lunch. Take care!
