Landing in a Snowstorm! (Full Flight)

[@douglasphilippa5554]

I’m 70 years old and I’m not a pilot but I’d give anything to sit next to Max on this beautiful aircraft before I die!

[@iZ3C0LD7]

Can agree. I'm not a pilot too, but being able to operate this aircraft in Microsoft Flight Simulator simply shows how beautiful this bird is, and how everything is easily displayed and done through the large touchscreens combined with incredible performance from the engines -- truly a supercar in the skies. And of course, Max's piloting and his energy.

[@jhogoboom]

So here's what makes you so likable. Most people would edit out falling on the ice. You celebrate it. I have kids your age. I'm sure your folks must be extremely proud of you. Thanks for sharing this with us!!

[@CitationMax]

Ha thanks Jack! That really means a lot. Gotta keep it real right?! Lol. Appreciate your kind words and for watching the video! Take care and be well!

[@simeon2851]

Nobody got hurt. So I can safely say it left me chuckling a bit.

[@virgillynn9020]

[@skizztrizz4453]

Absolutely🤔😂😂😂💯

[@chickadee357]

And, laughing at yourself falling makes you even more likeable ❤

[@richardnash1079]

Thank you for your salute and your compliment to the “line guys” working hard in the cold weather. My father was a line guy in the Air Force then civil service. These are the things I talked about delivering his eulogy. He worked in the hot and the cold. You are classy to pay such a simple honor. Good flights to you, Sir.

[@gd-ft7lk]

"snowstorm" more like light flurries...

[@laerciojsilva]

This pilot so Chill, with normal clothes, informal but flying so professional.... Greetings from Brazil...

[@paulsmith7315]

I was ATC back in the 80s post strike. What amazed me when watching video and comparing to fam flights I took is you push buttons and data appears on screen. Back in the day you would flip pages and have stuff clipped to the yoke. Both enjoyed and appreciated the video

[@doctimw]

The KZbin is getting full of every pilot with a plane trying to make videos. You Sir, are so far ahead and BEYOND the others! You Max, are my GoTo video for information, relaxation, and enjoyment! Thank you for being a Professional and allowing all of us to go with you!!

[@CitationMax]

Thanks so much! That really means a lot. Take care and be well

[@sikethatsthewrongnumba1771]

hey man i love that comment but i am only 10 but love aveation as soon as i a 16 i am going to try to get a licens

[@zandorkroaazezs2824]

So verry fine we can fly with You.

[@nerothostv]

hes very close to aviation101. Theyre not the same tho. 101 is more like the adventure type of youtuber. Nice landing and flying :)

[@primeministerofredneckistan]

“The” KZbin 😂 👴🏻

[@rapturebound197]

First time viewer..just happen to have this video come up in my cue for some reason..glad it did. Not a pilot..too old now..but find this fascinating. Your professionalism is a pleasure to watch son. A person interested in learning to fly could learn alot by just watching how you conduct yourself. Take care and God bless!

[@tomlarussa8300]

What I really like about your video above was that in spite of your being a super-competent and skilled pilot you still have those checklists out. Bravo to you.

[@bobby_D]

I agree he’s extremely competent and he’s a great pilot. I believe though that all pilots at any level would have the checklists out just because you can miss anything at any time because there’s so much to do. I think Max is an elite pilot and what you’re pointing out is one of the reasons he’s so good! I would feel super confident and comfortable as a passenger on any plane being flown by CitationMax!

[@CitationMax]

Thank you Tom! Take care.

[@epichaley1173]

You know you nailed the landing when you're not even sure you touched down

[@samtuminello8597]

I love watching Max, he has everything under control. I wish I was with him.

[@danceswithclouds]

I am a private pilot, strictly VFR. I fly everything from a J-3 cub to a Steen Skybolt to a Glasair. Even so I can only imagine having the skills you possess to fly that citation. You must have four or five processors running simultaneously in your head to handle the systems, fly the air[plane, respond to ATC, and chat to us during a white out snowstorm ILS approach, all while making it look easy and fun. Outstanding video.

[@ChrisR57]

I'm with you Matt, Max handles that Citation like a pro and solo at that! I enjoy these flights as I'm grounded as PIC.

[@boblodin7674]

Thanks Max for allowing me to sit in the right seat with you. Haven’t flown for years, you’re an excellent cockpit manager, very professional.

[@nickpapagiorgio5056]

Great ILS approach max in low visibility! That was textbook and awesome to watch the glide slope guide you in until just before minimums that was really cool man and nice landing on that snowy runway!

[@Nfarce]

There is no better example of "staying ahead of the aircraft" than when that airspeed is rapidly bleeding off starting around @22:18 when 35 degrees of flaps were dumped all while looking at the checklist and settings and hand flying at the same time (a little over 3 seconds and 8 knots were bled in that clip). Great job, great channel! Twenty years ago we did not have these types of aviation videos on KZbin!

[@grahamb1]

I keep saying it, your genuine enthusiasm for flying translates into great video content. You appear to be at a really comfortable and exciting time in your life and it shows. You've obviously put a lot of hard work in to get to this stage. I know you'll enjoy it for what it is and thank you for sharing it with us.

[@CitationMax]

Hey Graham! Thanks for your kind words. Means a lot. Just happy you enjoy the videos! Take care and be well

[@SusheePerumal]

From making in-cockpit videos myself, I know how much work this takes!

[@samtuminello8597]

Max is so professional. I'd fly with him any time.

[@Jack-eo5fn]

It’s been a year since I checked your progress. You’re confident now, without being too confident or cocky. You’ve got the right balance for a brilliant career in flight, and I’m loving your humility and grace. Go for it 👌👌

[@18bogeyfree]

Very, very Impressive and such as competent and professional job. Great job both conducting the single pilot flight and the video. As a retired Navy and Airline pilot...I was impressed

[@mkkm945]

"aww greased it... are we even down?" - what a perfectly judged landing.

[@CitationMax]

Ha! Thank you.

[@alexwaters124]

i could never figure out who is talking on those radios. They all talk at once and discerning one for them the other would be so hard. He is a great pilot! I'd love to fly with him anytime. Safe journey!

[@dream2space234]

Another beautiful flight, Max! Glad you didn't hit your head on that slip. Love & Light.

[@Bikergramp57]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. It never ceases to amaze me how far technology has advanced since I started flying in the early 80's with all steam gauges, a map, a compass, my watch, and the good-ol e6b flight computer. The advanced navigation was VOR and then Loran.

[@garrymorrison1769]

Great flight, as usual. Staying ahead of the game as a single pilot in command is wise.

[@johnlreim]

I don't like driving in that stuff and here you are flying through it...Good job and thanks for taking us along.

[@donwat91]

Thanks for taking me along with you today. I miss the flying. I was a aircrew member on a EC-130E for 10 years as a WEAPONS CONTROLLER. We were the only squadron in the Air Force that did this. Battlefield Management. Hope you didn't hurt yourself falling on the ice.

[@kwizikle65]

Really enjoyed you sharing this flight... Clear flights are not always the best. Thankfully you didn't injury yourself in the fall... Thanks for sharing another great flight!

[@kevincollins8014]

It's always such a blessing to ride along with you Max thank you for bringing me along for the ride and I'm glad you didn't get hurt in that fall. I slipped and fell down my front steps in the ice last year and shattered my elbow.

[@rox6385]

Excellent video...nice flight..single pilot in snow/icing///no piece of cake...well done!

[@frankswain9483]

Very professional piloting; great preparation and keeping well ahead of the a/c. I'd fly with you anywhere any time. Thanks for the great vid, too!

[@ATrainGames]

Terrific video of another terrific flight. Was cool to catch a glimpse of the snow-covered C-17 on the right on rollout. Thanks for sharing!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks for taking us along on this one Max. Really enjoyed it.

[@richdfrmn]

Great skills = Great amount of hours and practice. Thanks for sharing.

[@audible67]

That was fun, Max. Wish you talked us through the hand signals. Good stuff.

[@whipLasch]

Holds up 2 fingers, then holds a finger pointing up and spins it around: starting engine number 2. Same but only one finger for engine number 1. Ground crew repeats the gesture to confirm the pilot's intention to start each engine, then begins spinning their own finger when they confirm the turbine has begun to spin. After both engines are running and he has confirmed the relay is working and the plane is creating its own power, he makes a knife edge hand, cups the other one, connects the tip of the knife edge into the center of the cup and then breaks them apart to signal the ground crew to disconnect the ground power. Ground crew extends both arms, then bends the forearms up and down to indicate the pilot to move forward. Once the plane is far enough forward, the ground crew keeps their left (our right) arm extended and their right arm bent to indicate the pilot can turn right.

[@skizztrizz4453]

Very important signals on the ramp. Tugs and belt loaders have been blown over when they aren't indicated. 💯💯💯

[@pamt7740]

Thank you. I enjoyed that. I never can understand what is said by ATC so I would never make a pilot. But I love flying. Now those days are past I get to have a front view this way. Thank you!

[@detroitgarage9430]

Just watched the last couple minutes of the approach and landing.:) Very nice indeed, but hardly a snow storm.:)

[@tuluksvui747]

Very good situational awareness and airmanship

[@trippelle7793]

WOW! didn’t even notice the touch down on the camera!🤩

[@RETlREDAVIATOR]

You know that aircraft...very proficient at the controls and managing the the automation. Great flying!

[@Strahan740i]

Having watched a ton of flight videos, I have to say your radio operations are very smooth and pleasant compared to many I hear. I bet ATCs like talking to you :)

[@vermontsownboy6957]

You know your business. Smooth and professional. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@richardwade6986]

Yep, that slip was sure funny. It was the sound effect that really made it.

[@Liam1H]

Man. that landing was as smooth as a banana daiquiri! And, in such challenging weather! So relaxing to watch. I guess that's just the natural outcome when skill, knowledge and confidence intersect. While I would imagine these videos are mostly watched by pilots, speaking as someone whose total piloting experience was taking off in a friend's little private plane once, I really appreciate it when you narrate what all you are doing and how you interact with traffic control. I like how you take so much of the mystery of what you are doing out of it. Instead of it taking away from the mystique, it just demonstrates how busy you are while flying and how much you have to know. Endlessly impressive. Thanks for letting us join you!

[@ShadyS-2012]

It absolutely amazes me how many tasks there are, all the time! I get that this is a short flight, but there just never seems to be a break to relax for a few seconds. I'm sure some of this becomes second nature, but I'm just blown away at how quickly he goes from one to the next. It reminds me a little of my sister in law commenting on my driving a standard, and how I wasn't paying attention, I was just doing it...she's obviously very easy to impress, and what I was doing, he's doing x 1000! lol

[@robbloforese]

Well done! Most talented and confident pilot.

[@waltertx.6020]

Good morning Max 🌄 I'm always amazed at how fast she gets off the ground! Snow flight, awesome 😎

[@aaaht3810]

I am not a pilot, but the first thing I noticed was how quickly the plane got airborne. Always amazed at the automation and avionics in these modern aircraft. Good video.

[@bobby_D]

Yea that’s one thing I notice in all of these videos. I’m always like hey are you sure you’re going fast enough to rotate?? Lol but sure enough he nails it every time. The plane is always empty in the ones I see so that’s probably a big factor is that there’s only 200lbs on board usually.

[@stevensims8922]

it's always empty when he films

[@largesleepermadness6648]

The colder it is, the better the performance modern jets have. Just dropping by Max for some awesome older content.

Never wanted to be a pilot and enjoy other flying me to my destination but I’m hooked on aviation videos. Well done sir. I appreciate you sharing. Thanks.

[@richardperegud6945]

It’s my hope that every pilot takes his time and make sure everything’s OK before you start flying like you do..good job

[@kevindeboissiere3220]

“Just hand flying for now, she flies real nice it’s always a pleasure.” *Literally 4 seconds later* “Autopilot‘s coming on.” 😂 I know you were just using it to help reduce your workload on a short leg, that just made me chuckle.

Oh man. We had a flight like that. Used to fly into Atlantic City airport for business. One time we were ok going up, it was cold but no precipitation. Coming back we got sleet and snow and had to land on a grass strip because the runway was too icy and it was getting dark. This was after working all day. Great job landing.

Now that I've watched a few of your videos... At first I was jealous. How could such a young person fly solo in a CJ. As a PPSEL I would love to have that opportunity to fly high performance aircraft such as a CJ. My best has been a King Air when I worked for the FBO. After a little research. I commend you. You are a true professional pilot. I would fly with you any day!

25:22, am I wrong or was an aircraft given clearance to take off while CitationMax was still on the runway?

[@TurnRight370]

Exactly what I was thinking as well..

[@dragoclarke9497]

Max was beyond the end of the runway (in stopway). Not sure about US but in Europe that would be frowned upon.

[@CNT12696]

ATC can use anticipated separation for clearances.

[@garyrisley9170]

Generally, 3000 feet separation is required. They were well beyond that and he could anticipate C Max leaving the runway.
