De-Icing Explained ~ Flight from Kansas

[@wpierce57]

I gotta say, seeing that Huskey back up was super cool.

[@anthonyjtesta703]

Kevin thank you for the overview on de-iceing equipment of the aircraft. I am not a pilot, but really like learning from you. Thank you and regards to Jamie. I miss her lovely smile and voice. See ya! 😊

[@310Pilot]

You're very welcome Anthony! I just have a couple more videos to get caught up on and then she's back with some fun traveling adventures. :)

[@leoaz4667]

Mr. Kevin you a amazing pilot. You have such calm as you fly and most of all you are a man of extreme character. I'm so addicted to your channel and appreciate the time you put in to share your experience. Thank you Sir

[@c140flyer]

Hi Kevin, I thoroughly enjoy your videos! I started out as an A&P at an FBO in Massachusetts in the 70's with a private pilot's license. I got to fly in a 310Q (when they were new!) on occasion during charter flights. I got my multi in a 1957 310A back in 1985 in Crestview, FL. I loved the way it flew and the FBO had no problems letting me rent it for an IFR flight to New Orleans after I got the rating. I was looking to fly for the airlines and wanted to build some multi-engine time so I bought an Apache the next year (couldn't afford a 310!) A few years later, a friend of mine bought another 310A and after I helped him install radios and overhaul the right engine , I got to be a partner in the airplane! We loved the plane but hated the operating expenses. Eventually we sold the plane at a great profit (lots of sweat equity) and moved on. I never got the airline job and pursued a career in engineering but always flew for fun. I've owed 8 airplanes over the years but always had a soft spot in my heart for the 310. Your videos bring back the joy I had when I flew these great planes. I can only afford a Cherokee 140 today, but I keep my hand in and look back to my "glory days" of the 310.

[@bodriver9719]

It was a pleasure to meet you at Stearman. Keep up the good work and thanks for the ride along!

[@vanallen9453]

..what a great trip..with such great planes and personalities at the Stearman get-together...thanks again Kevin for flying all the way out to Wichita and sharing your adventures with all of us...

[@Parr4theCourse]

HA-I didn't know you were recording, got my have a safe flight @2:36 Great to met ya, hopefully next time we'll have more time to visit!! And thanks for the swag!!

[@HoosierPilot]

Man I’m jealous!

[@Parr4theCourse]

@@HoosierPilot You’re time will come!!!

[@HoosierPilot]

@@Parr4theCourse did you get some good video at the fly in too?

[@Parr4theCourse]

@@HoosierPilot Yes we did videos dated; July 21st - August 22nd are highlights of the ACCA event

[@HoosierPilot]

@@Parr4theCourse oh gotcha. I didn’t real this was a fly in from early in the year.

[@brianlawliss1080]

Thank you as well Kevin, you have given me inspiration to Start Flying!

[@ronnieeubanks6559]

I'm not a pilot but enjoy your videos and adventures. From one southern boy to another I appreciate your down home attitude and welcoming from your channel.

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Thanks, Kevin. Wow... Those pilots at Stearman field look like they're having fun. I look forward to seeing Jamie with you again in future videos. You two are a great team, and she adds a certain "ambience" to your videos. :)

[@brianlawliss1080]

Yes, we all like Jamie!

[@james3282]

I love watching your videos over and over, great landing while dealing with a strong cross wind.

[@cjsims3000]

Thank you Kevin for another great video. Was great being a passenger with you again.😊

[@AJYoung-gh3rw]

Thanks for the de-icing tutorial, adding the technical details during the flight adds to the experience.

[@daviddifonzo7938]

Thanks for the de-ice lesson. As a non-pilot I appreciate any and all information you have to offer.

[@jeddyhi]

You guys sure help me get through the silly times. Appreciated.

[@billroberts4012]

Thank you, Kevin for sharing and for going over your de icing systems.

[@Donaica1]

Hello again, nice flying with you and very good explaining your de-ice system on your wonderful flight ❤️be safe

[@stevekinney66]

Love the channel. 8 months ago I saw your video to Put-in-Bay and i started watching the channel, I decided to learn to fly. Just passed my check ride this week. Thanks for putting up the videos.

[@RCFlyer007]

Thanks for explaining the leading edge boots and didn’t know about props being heated . Very cool and glad you had fun!👍🇺🇸👍

[@javiergalvan242]

Great video Kevin with great content. Big fan, you and yours remain blessed and keep the video's coming!!!

[@lritchey]

I am learning so much from you guys. I started watching you to get over my fear of small planes. You're helping. Thanks!

[@davidlabedz2046]

Fun flight. Lots of great aviation information!

[@danaskubic2145]

I love listening to the rythem of the twin engines. Another great flight,thanks for sharing, looking forward to Jamie joining you Kevin.

[@tjsteele513]

Kansas .. A good place to be from.. Lived in a Wichita for 5 years one summer.. Did enjoy visiting with the crew restoring “DOC” years ago.. Beautiful piece of Boeing history and art!! Great video, always enjoy your stuff..

[@garydell2023]

Nice flight Kevin. Explaining your de-icing system was interesting. That yaw damper makes a difference and your auto pilot makes the workload easier. Fly & stay safe, you & your family

[@Maximum1A]

Another fun ride along..... thanks for the journey 👍

[@rackum44]

Kevin thanks for talking about your boots and the deicing stuff. I love hearing things like that ,I'm an avid flight simmer So I'm open ears when you brief stuff like that. I love learning all the stuff you talk about.

[@patrickpepper4587]

As usual, great video Kevin and a very good explanation of how a de-ice system operates. Looks like you got your landings down pat ....

[@drdave169]

Great video and editing. Too bad Jamie could not make it with you. Thanks for the video of the other planes and for the deicing procedure. I did not know a 310 had a light so you can see the boots at night.

[@robertbenton6649]

No, thank you! I will continue to live through your stories and adventures.

[@TeemarkConvair]

looked to be quite a steep bank to final,,thanks for taking the time,, always enjoy

[@JimsPlanesandTrains]

Excellent video! I didn’t realize you had de-icing equipment, that has to give you a great piece of mind! Hopefully see you in the air/on the radio this next week! It’s time to do some cross countries for commercial if the weather holds out!

[@jc18512]

Enjoyed watching the flight. Thanks. Have a good one.

[@romiemiller3093]

I used to watch Sky King every Saturday morning. I've liked the 310 ever since. Cool airplane.

[@garyjones6862]

good 2 see u back...........

[@hevykevy56]

Hi Kevin and Jamie , I think I’m your biggest fan as I’ve almost completed watching every vid you have made . I only have 8 left to watch , I’m a at home care taker for my mom that is ill . It’s very stressful for me , but TG I have your channel to pass the time when she’s sleeping. I would love to have a 310 pilot shirt but can’t afford to buy one as I can’t work due to my mom , I’m not asking for a hand out but having one would make my day , I would wear it as much as possible.. another great vid btw

[@Jesse-le9bh]

Thanks Kevin, nice flight and explanation of de-iceing equipment. Stay safe. Blessings

[@michaelmaylone9431]

Love the videos, always good and you explain things very well, thank you for doing them!!

[@jasonhorton9552]

Keven, love the de-ice talk! Great job sir.

[@N98858]

Hey Kevin... Thanks for the ride and the "De-Ice" Boot Tutorial! I remember being a kid asking my ATP Dad a similar question and his reply was... "Look at my Forehead" as he furrowed his brow, same thing with those rubber boots on the leading horizontal surfaces ';-) Thanks for the Father remembrance and nice cross-wind landing too! Mike~

[@brianlott7571]

Nice to ride along and learn about Stearman Field!

[@williammurray7342]

Man! That plane is awesome.. my dream plane. I’ll own one some day. Love the videos, keep up the great work! And it’s not hot and sticky until you’ve been in the middle of East Texas in August 😂

[@Daveinbangormaine]

Hey Kevin. I love this video. You really do a great job explaining things. I live in Bangor Maine. Maine is an amazing place to explore.

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Dave! Jaime and I did a flight recently to Bar Harbor. Stay tuned for that video when I get caught up on editing. Fun Trip!!

[@Daveinbangormaine]

I will be watching for it Kevin. I’m very excited to see it. I live in Bangor about 40 miles away from Bar Harbor.

[@mikeagresta]

Excellent camera and audio. Enjoyed your talk about de icing . You would be a great 310 salesman. 👍

[@kevincollins8014]

Another really cool flight thanks for bringing me along with ya. I sure do learn a lot from watching your videos.

[@craigtaylor200]

Thanks for the explanation to de-ice boots, You are part of the reason for my venture to PPL in Lakeland, FL this coming january. from KACK with respect, will look for 1BC on the tarmac

[@benklotz6881]

Hey man love the new paint job! I’m a pipeline pilot and I watch your vids when I dead head home! Keep on flying!

[@MattyJayThomas]

Missed ya bro, cheers for the vid!

[@billnicholson2470]

Very interesting video as always. Thanks Kevin.

[@ubuck18]

Awesome content....really enjoy “flying” with you on your journeys. Thanks for the in depth explanations about 1BC!

[@Rapid454ss]

Love that you’re thinking of a New England trip. Put New Hampshire and the White Mountains on your list. I’m native to NH and never miss your videos! Plane looks great but I still think she needs a name! The best to you and Jaime and family! Stay healthy and safe!

[@danawalker55]

I hope you keep putting out...........videos! Thanks for sharing, Kevin. I enjoyed the tech talk.

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'll keep after it as long as ya'll are enjoying them. :)

[@karlfair]

Nice work, Kevin. Thanks for the ride.

[@edbennett6922]

You got to love Kansas in July

[@txhypnotist]

Cool video, thanks for posting. Always enjoy your content and learning always tips n tricks. Make it a great day.

[@tompinnef6331]

Glad you had a safe trip and enjoyed the fly-in. Hoping there is a Oshkosh next year. Take care - hope the family and you are doing well. 'Spin'.

[@drayhogg53]

Thanks for the shot of the river Kevin. Burlington has the heaviest lift bridge on the Mississippi and Keokuk has the only 1200' lock chamber above the two in the St. Louis area. Thanks for the ride.

[@blueyonder360]

I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos while I train for my PPL. I have a Cherokee 140/180 that I can’t wait to take trips in with my wife. She’s from GA and I’m from FL. Been wanting to say “Go Gators” for a while now! Keep up the great footage and informative content. Go GATORS 🐊

[@hevykevy56]

I’ve now watched 140 videos, I think that’s all of them . Keep um coming ..

[@Dan_Bender]

When you mentioned Keokuk IA, my stomach turned. Terrible house fire there in 1999. Killed 3 kids and 3 firefighters. We learned a lot from the mistakes they made that day.

[@thatguyalex2835]

May I ask the cause of the fire? If it was a space heater, then we all know that we shouldn't use those devices. Also, RIP to all those in the house during the accident.

[@Dan_Bender]

@@thatguyalex2835 The cause was a stove burner was turned on by a child, and there were two plastic high chair trays laying on the stove. NO active smoke detectors present. Here's a list of of recommendations from NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational and Health) investigators. - ensure that adequate numbers of staff are available to immediately respond to emergency incidents - ensure that Incident Command conducts an initial size-up of the incident before initiating fire fighting efforts, and continually evaluates the risk versus gain during operations at an incident - ensure fire fighters are trained in the tactics of defensive search - ensure that fire command always maintains close accountability for all personnel at the fire scene - ensure that fireground communication is present through both the use of portable radios and face-to-face communications - ensure that a trained Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) is established and in position immediately upon arrival - ensure that fire fighters wear and use PASS devices when involved in interior fire fighting and other hazardous duties

[@HootisGarage]

I had to rewind to make sure you said “Tessna” that’s classic. Always great vids.

[@prestonmiller9552]

It was definitely pretty hot at Stearman Field for ACCA. It was a nice surprise to hear Ron (Parr 4 the Course) chime in. Nice to see you face to face as well at Stearman Kevin.

[@richorourke7872]

Good job kevin another nice flight Don’t work too hard tell Jamie hi Missed her. Good luck sir.

[@colinrasmussen2298]

Always nice to know the boots work before you need them :-)

[@matthewmyers9745]

Looks like fun. Great video

[@Maddog29]

As usual great video and very informative, thanks a lot for sharing

[@grahamwilliams9877]

another great Vid Kevin, would be great to see you both here in the UK

[@DW-qs5pp]

Nice flight, thanks for the ride👍👍

[@garrygballard8914]

Appreciate your work here, you do a great job, been missing Jamie though.

[@golfbravowhiskey8669]

Enjoyed metting ya. Thanks for the T-shirt.

[@kenbryant2570]

Thanks Kevin. I always enjoy flying with you and Jamie. Have a great day. Till next week.

[@daviddarrow4506]

Kevin, have you found that you can activate the boots too early in icing conditions? I've heard that if ice has not built up to a sizable amount and activation occurs too early, the ice will expand with the boot and not be removed. Thus causing a space between the ice and the boot. This can cause the boots to be of no use as ice continues to build. Your take, please. Thanks.

[@james3282]

You hold the camera so we can see outside and I'm still looking at the paint on the plane and wings, fantastic 👏 👌 😀

[@paulm2861]

Great video, as always, Kevin.

[@foolishwatcher]

0:35 That's some neat skill, turning your plane on the spot. :-D

[@rabh6746]

Stearman looked extremely busy, so many amazing planes and 1BC sure didn't look out of place! Its a real shame you can't visit Europe, hopefully it will happen soon and you would love Scotland, I'm not biased of course ;) Awesome video once again!

[@mogsyman]

Great video Kevin, many thanks 👍

[@archstanton9206]

Really enjoyed the lesson on the de-icing gear on 1BC. Stearman looked like a very nice place, but I could see the dang humidity. From the west, and I am not fond of that kinda weather. Have a dear friend who moved back that way 20 years ago and was after us to retire where he is. I asked him how long it took to get used to the humidity. He said he is still working on it, LOL

[@zenvairpilot]

I stopped at Stearman Field on my way to the Zenith Aircraft fly-in. It was a cool place even without the extra traffic. Great Burger on the field.

[@bigmackstruckstop9213]

Thanks for the ride along 73s

[@AB-ow5hu]

Great one again as always

[@larrymayberry2312]

It's a shame Jamie wasn't aboard. We all know how much she loves bumpy rides. Safe flights Kevin.

[@herbsawtell1585]

Another great flight. I only had ice once in my Cessna 182 RG and that was only because of a controller that did not understand the severity of my requests for higher to get out of the clouds. I did have to abort my destination landing and return to warmer temperatures at my home airport. By the way it looks like you have a new truck. Nice.

[@digger15258]

No Kevin THANK YOU! Very interesting video.

[@timrobinson7104]

You should consider getting your HAM Radio license, if you don't already have it, and on some of these longer cross-countries, do some HF HAM stuff. Lookup anything about DX pileups when commercial pilots come on the HAM bands.

[@fa300zxtt]

As always thank you.

[@GeraldLaumeyer]

Thanks for another great video

[@MichaelLloyd]

Nice landing :) I spent some time in Maine during July a few years ago. Friendship. ME to be exact. I love that place.

[@spiro5327]

Nice explanation Kevin,. European holiday would be exciting, and make for some great videos. Thanks mate

[@JohnTalbot-k6xi]

Fun Ride-Along (!!)

[@garyajamian5828]

You were speaking about taking a trip to Nantucket, Cape Cod in this video. If you plan an August trip 3rd week, would love to see you fly over to Provincetown airport. A wonderful place to stay is the Topmast Resort in North Truro. Look it up.

[@UncleDonDon]

Very informative. Please keep showing switches and buttons that we don't normally see.

[@danielpettway6985]

Kevin, I used to fly a Duchess. Although no longer active I love your videos. If you and Jamie go to New England you need to add Martha’s Vineyard to your destinations. Best!

[@davidfrench5407]

Kevin, I've got a question....the 310 has really low seatbacks. Are those seats comfortable? Can you swap those out if they weren't comfortable?

[@ngml320]

Awesome Kevin

[@kdharley07]

Hi Kev thanks for showing and explaining the deicing on your plane. If you come to New England we live next to the Witch City,.. Salem which is popular this time of year and we have a camp in Rochester NH if you want to stop at the airport there or Pease and use an extra car we have to explore the area which is awesome up in North Conway and the Kancamagus Hwy. our good friend is also a retired ATC and had a small part in Flight 93

[@spencerbright629]

Love the vid keep up the good work

[@darceyvolle4938]

So cool to see you in Kansas I am from NE Kansas. I bet you likely flew near or over my town.

[@williamwhitehead8362]

It's probably all that smoke from the fires out west prevailing winds so yeah sometimes it's worse than others got to get a little rain in there to knock it down enjoy your videos and I wished I had one but I'm a little older than to start now

[@lenyancey5236]
