CONFUSION ON FINAL - MARSH HARBOUR Fly-in Part 2

[@JenniferinIllinois]

Dang!!!! Other pilots unaware of your briefing trying to tell you what to do. Kudos to you Val for being so cool and collected and following your original plan (as was the rest of your group).

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Thank you! Non-towered airport can be interesting 😉

[@craiggoodwin9704]

Captain Va,, this could be interesting! As always glad I'm flying with you. Thanks for Sharing!

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Thank you for flying along Craig! ✈️✨

[@AirSafetyInstitute]

Thanks for taking us along, Captain Val!

[@williamwintemberg]

Wow! This situation is way beyond me because I'm not a pilot. That said, there's Captain Val cool, calm and professional. Thanks for allowing us to fly with you!

Hello nice Video

[@nathanwildthorn6919]

The confusion on the CTAF is one of the reasons that I appreciate being under ATC control. Great video, Captain. Val! ❤

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Certainly, having Air Traffic Control (ATC) on your side can provide a great sense of reassurance, particularly when you hear calls from various locations on the same frequency. Keeps you on your toes 😉

[@terrypedersen7]

Happy to see you didn’t cave to the pressure and stood your ground on the planned procedure. Well done! Heading to the Bahamas from Northern Ontario in just over a week so binge watching related videos to increase the excitement. Can’t wait.

[@johnarcillas1857]

Hi my awesome friend captain Valerie and long time no fly...lol..😅. You did an amazing flight and had everything under control eith your plane and crew. Awesome awesome awesome!@@. Looking forward to seeing you soon byyeee Johnny from Chicago.....😂

Hi Johnny 🥰good to see you here again.✈️✨

[@fox111qc]

Je viens de m'abonner à ta chaîne. J'aime tes vidéos. Très professionnelle! J'ai hâte à la suite.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Merci Beaucoup 🤩 Bienvenue à bord ✈️ Party 3 sera disponible bientôt. J’ai dû la recommencer car elle a été détruit par erreur.

[@jims3276]

It’s unfortunate that someone not flying your plane tells you what to do. Even worse, suggesting a straight in landing when entering the downwind is the preferred method. I do make straight in landings, but only when I’m the only one around and even then very carefully. There’s a reason aviation uses standardized practices - SAFETY!

[@KutWrite]

Love your flying, the plane, and that French-Canadian accent!

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Thank you 🤩

Hi dear Valerie, thank you for that nice trip and taking us along on top, addition, as an former pilot (frozen) it’s pretty nice to follow you on this channel from today. Thank You ❤

Great video!! My wife and I used to fly to the Bahamas in the 90's and really enjoyed it. Marsh Harbor was always a favorite:) What brand of fuel flow meter do you have? How do you like it? I look forward to the next Marsh Harbor segment.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Thank you so much George! Yes, we love The Abacos too🇧🇸 Our fuel flow meter is a Shadin fuel flow indicator. It does the job. 😆 Part 3 is coming soon ✈️✨

[@maineguy1408]

Valerie, another enjoyable and informative video, especially for us pilots -- nicely done! Your various camera angles and the excellent footage along with the great editing are all top notch! The confusion during your approach (stirred up by the rude pilot in the Islander) no doubt raised your stress level in the cockpit that day but you handled it like a pro and the silver lining is that it gave this video more of a riveting story line! I hope that the flight ended well (and hopefully peaceably!) and that everyone in your group enjoyed the visit -- guess I'll find out in Part 3! As I write this, Sun 'n Fun is just over a week away -- looking forward to saying hi to you and Eric! Best, Andy

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Hi Andy! Glad you enjoyed Part 2. It was a great learning experience 😉that’s for sure. Part 3 is coming soon. Looking forward to seeing you at Sun n fun ✈️✨ can’t believe it’s been a year already.

[@petertarantelli]

Hi Capt. Valerie! So nice to see that you are taking us once again to the beautiful Bahamas 🇧🇸 I like that you stuck to the plan as briefed. Always tough when you have to contend with locals and those not flying a standard pattern. Looking forward to the next installment 🤗

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Thank you for flying along 😃every flight is different, always learning. ✈️

[@petertarantelli]

@@SkylineBaronPilot yes, students forever!

[@robtebay1]

I hope you had a diplomatic word with them afterwards? I often joined over the field, well above circuit alt, and corkscrewed down into the pattern. Safe and fun! But I normally cleared my intentions with Approach.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Our encounter will be in part 3 😉 Spiraling down is fun too. Flying over the field above pattern altitude is a safe way to enter traffic pattern but locals have there ways of doing things.

[@robtebay1]

@@SkylineBaronPilot Looking forward to Part 3!

[@thisandthat4391]

That's how we do it at Marsh , straight in RWY 9 all day long 😂, I've been there around 150 times in the last 12 years, and I never had to enter the pattern at 1500. A few times, I did a 360 to give people in front of me a little more room, but that's about it. Marsh needs a tower, by the way. It's way too busy to be uncontrolled airport.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Gotta love the Bahamas 🇧🇸

[@lisecarrier1250]

Toujours impressionnée par tes vidéos et de voir à quel point tu es capable de garder le contrôle. Je suis fière de toi ma grande. ❤

[@mikercflyer7383]

Just a little confusing even with a good briefing, you are doing an excellent job.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Thank you 🤩

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

MY NICKEL ON THE GRASS Is there an approach plate for this Airport or was there any special notice for this fly-in? Otherwise beautifully captured land and water video Captain Val. 🌏🇭🇲

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

No approach plate that I know of. As a group of ~30 + airplanes, we all briefed prior our departure to fly over the field to assess the area and join pattern altitude. Safety in mind.

[@CRIV2012]

@@SkylineBaronPilot There appears to be RNAV approach plates for both 9 and 27 at MYAM

[@MarekMarciniak]

@Skyline Baron Pilot There are RNAV approaches for Marsh, however neither Miami or Nassau will clear you for apprach. It's pilot's discretion, you are on your own.

[@jrod_pilot_miami]

Way I see it, there was no confusion until some local pilot decided to become his own ATC and bark unsafe commands to other pilots. I would've simply ignored him and gone about my business. Kudos to Val for not succumbing to the external pressure from some idiot who could care less if you had a midair as long as it didn't block final.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Thank you Julio for your input. That’s how I see it too. Local charters don’t want delays. I don’t blame them but I want to focus on safety.

[@inquisitive980]

ATC is currently very overworked

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Yes! For sure!

[@inquisitive980]

Val, not sure if you are aware of the past channel 310 pilot. Local channel for me as Kevin and and his wife Jamie, are Chicago ATC controllers. They sold their plane and hanger due to the lack of free time to do what they loved.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

@@inquisitive980 I’ve heard. Very sad but hopefully they are happy! Life is too short. You have to enjoy it and make it what you want it be.

[@adamthomas1234]

Unbelievable someone at an uncontrolled trying to tell everyone how to fly. Pattern procedures exist for a reason… safety. Everyone makes their calls in predictable spots and are able to adjust their spacing to keep a safe flow in and out of the field. Couldn’t believe what I was hearing… good job sticking to your guns.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Exactly! Thank you! All about safety. I almost didn’t follow my plan though. Glad I did. Good experience for sure!

[@AnonyMous-jf4lc]

@@SkylineBaronPilot safety is standard pattern entries or flying the straight in when there is no conflicting traffic.

Nothing like upsetting the local yokels They'll get over themselves eventually 🤣

[@clarencewiles963]

That’s not a professional situation you’re in. I would suggest that the airport authority get control of their situation. Or the planners get together and do a thorough briefing. When you mix local people doing everyday stuff. They are outside the brief. Thanks for posting this one.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Thank you for your input. That’s how I see it too. Locals and charters are getting use to do it their way. We were a large group coming in and I could have been more upfront to let them know…. I’ve learned a good lesson there.

[@ryanawilson8549]

​@SkylineBaronPilot not to mention how rude they were to you

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

@@ryanawilson8549 I’m usually by the book so it was a compliment I guess 😉 reminded me to keep flying my plan.

[@Cavalier-lp8tr]

I guess if they are local they think they owen the airport?

[@AnonyMous-jf4lc]

You don’t have a set plan for uncontrolled fields that you don’t deviate from, you have a hierarchy of procedures. If the straight in is open, and there isn’t conflicting traffic in the pattern, fly straight in and be done. The upwind entry is my LAST choice. If someone is departing you can lose separation quickly. 45 entry into the downwind or teardrop from +500 pattern altitude. He person on the radio was tired of listening to people eff up standard entries. Your briefing doesn’t mean jack at an uncontrolled field.

[@SkylineBaronPilot]

Thanks for your input. I see your point and you’re correct, it is an uncontrolled airfield…

[@delalima]
