First Flight as a Licensed Pilot with Family - ATC Audio with Garmin GNS430 Tip

[@GhostHostMemories]

+1 for momma using Landscape instead of portrait!

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Hahaahaha I'll tell her XD

[@johnlook7224]

Thanks for the video content! Sorry for the intrusion, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Rozardner Flying Bird Reality (do a google search)? It is a great one of a kind product for how to get pilot license minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my m8 at very last got amazing success with it.

[@chrishill9715]

Wow, that runway was about as smooth as a ploughed field.

[@bobmanahmed7258]

Oh Ok, Mom is there as well . you are double blessed

[@jopett1]

3:35 Beautiful view of Mount Manadnock. My grandparent's use to live in Ridge in the town over.

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Just about our only mountain in southern New England, and she is pretty :)

[@imarocker66]

Nice approach and landing and good job missing the rocks! Patches and widespread alligator cracking are listed in the AFD but the loose rocks and potholes on runway centerline caught me by surprise when I flew into KAFN for lunch this summer.

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

+imarocker66 Yeah, thanks. I was just talking to somebody yesterday who purposefully lands off center there to avoid the giant pothole. I forgot about it last time I was there and had to pop my right gear off the ground again to miss it.

[@bobmanahmed7258]

Beautiful. You are lucky to have your dad with you!!

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Today's actually his birthday, so he'll love to hear that. Bless you, friend :)

[@robertpfau7679]

Very cool , I have watched about a dozen of your videos now and have enjoyed them all especially this one with your mom and dad , keep up the good work/flying! Love your enthusiasm it's catching:)

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Thanks mate :) Glad you enjoyed!

[@45631063]

thank you for all those informations good flights for you and soon.

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

And thank you, sir, for all of your excellent comments :)

[@u56237z]

your videos are truly interesting and a pleasure to watch, great channel

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Excellent! Thanks for letting me know :)

[@gveduccio]

Good tip on the OBS magenta line to follow in to the runway...I even showed a CFI that...btw I live in GA but from south shore MA

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Gary Veduccio Ahh, somebody else familiar with our strange little world of general aviation in MA. I think the best investment I ever made in my flight training was the Reality XP GNS430 simulator.

[@gveduccio]

Friendly Skies Film I got to fly around the Cape once...then next visit to my dad found out you need to use the plane within 60 days even though I flew with Civil Air Patrol in GA week before...but now OpenAirplane fixes that...as for Reality XP funny you say cause yesterday I decided to reinstall FSX from scratch and got Steam Edition what is the one add on that doesn't work with Steam but the Garmin 750 add on works and I can still teach people the 430W with the separate trainer

[@AirplaneFreak1000]

Pure Awesomeness!! I just love to seee these "abandoned" strips being used ...hehe

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Yeah, that's kinda the name of the game in aviation right now, isn't it? I visited another one this week, actually. Sometimes I do wonder, though... would it be better if they died, so we might have more money for the rest?

[@AirplaneFreak1000]

also, you just left the aircraft there till you came bac? Like wasnt it vulnerable to forest animals taking refuge

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Bajan Aviation Yess? I can't say as I've ever worried about coming back to find a family of raccoons trying to fly my plane, though! XD

[@AirplaneFreak1000]

lol😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@joecarpenter4522]

Very cool man! I enjoyed the interaction between you and your dad (very obvious-in a great way-that he's a pilot too). My dad loves flying but is not a pilot... but really enjoys Arrow rides! Maybe I can talk dad into the left seat once I earn my CFI here in a few months!

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

That would be so much fun. I hope you do :)

[@nickmanning5455]

Can I ask: what do you study in school? I'm always blown away by the production quality. keep the videos coming

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Phew. I'll do my best, but they obviously take a lot of my time to put together. You can expect a new one later today, though!! I am a robotics engineer, though I usually just put myself under the label of entrepreneur, because I've found that there isn't anything on this earth that you can't do without a little dedication and a lot of heart. I idolize those like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos, and I have the craziest dream that I'm just obsessive enough to be like them someday soon. You can read more about my projects at www.friendlyskiesfilm.com/about

[@TravisNelsondjcrome]

awesome it feels great right?, working right now on my commercial apt

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Congratulations! I can say for sure that it did feel great. Now I own two airplanes and I'm wondering what I'm doing with my life! XD

[@TravisNelsondjcrome]

+Friendly Skies Film enjoy they sky's! 😊

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Travi5 You too, sir!

[@jacobmccarthy8666]

two? What are the tail #s of them?

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Jacob McCarthy N8027F and N570FL

[@Tizzer88]

Really awesome man. Im still quite young but flying is extremely fascinating, would love to learn how one day.

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Never too early to get started, I promise you! :)

[@jeannetennis2441]

+Friendly Skies Film I stated at 2!

[@MorrisseysMonkey]

So would I but I just don't have the money to learn to fly ;(

[@scottmoseley5122]

you and pops are so much a like! Great video. love your channel!

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Haha Yeah, we're clones :)

[@hunterfagan6272]

at 3:46 you can see mt manadnock. ive hiked that before and have flown in that area

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

You have? Did I know that? I see your username all the time, but I don't think I've associated you with one of the locals.

[@hunterfagan6272]

I don't know you in real life. I just watch your videos a lot. Usually popular youtubers live in California and Florida. It is so awesome how your in this area

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Right? Well, glad I could bring you some enjoyment :)

[@gveduccio]

and oh the green awnings reminded me of Newport Creamery

[@JeffGoat213]

Awesome video, the ice cream cone trail was awesome, how was the food there?

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Pretty good. Kimball's Farms is a local franchise that has been adored by generations.

[@in2flying]

Great video quality. Maybe I missed it but did you make your initial radio call 5 miles out?

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Thanks, mate! Glad you enjoyed it. :) I honestly have no idea. I answer a few hundred comments a week.

[@Marauder92V]

Another excellent video. Can I ask what editing software do you use and how do you get the avionics, like the GNS, to overlay on it? Do you make a separate video and superimpose it on your main video. I make basic IFR videos and would like to advance them a bit from the caveman drawings I do 😜

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

+Marauder92V I do everything in Adobe After Effects CS5.5. Since I'm a long time computer graphics guy, these kinds of effects are actually really easy. I wish that I had an excuse to do some heavier graphics work for this series. The GNS is from Garmin's trainer. Record that separately and import. Sometimes I play other tricks to just make things look perfect, and in sync with the gps in the plane, but that's the basic gist.

[@Ronbob59]

If you want to know what you will look like when you get old just look at your Dad. You look like twins! Nice video!

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

+Ron Pearson Hahaha Oh, yes! We know! I'm VERY close to my family, and my dad and I make a constant joke out of this wherever we go. It's totally funny to hear it online, though.

[@matthewm9987]

What got you into flying, I'm thinking about going to flight school due to flight simulator x.

[@WolfcariusKoen]

Very interesting you tube channel. Can learn a lot by watching your videos. I am just not convinced about your radio communication: as long as you talk to others in the airplane or adressing to the camera, all is clear. But from the moment on you pass radio messages, you increase your speed and lower your volume, which makes it all less clear. I would suggest the opposite, and I also learned it like that.

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Glad you enjoyed! The volume at least is just a factor of the audio circuit in the aircraft, but the speed, perhaps it's because I'm based at a towered airport...

[@tangledline]

I am subscribed! I been meaning to go to flight school but procrastinate so much. Did you make a video on your schooling experience? Thanks!

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Glad you enjoyed! Not yet, but I'm going to make one on the costs soon.

[@tangledline]

Friendly Skies Film That would be awesome! Thanks and be safe!

[@omarosamaaboellenin8081]

if one day you come to egypt or ksa i want to meet u to ask some questions about studying to be a pilot. love the channel

[@bigdaddybankvault]

you probably get asked this a lot but are there ice cream shops at the end of every runway?

[@jocsoncrisevertg.5962]

Do you need to know how to fix a simple broken airplane before you became a pilot??? - im just a teenager and pilot is my dream😅

[@nicogi]

Interesting videos! Quick question for you: I've noticed that you never leave the carburetor heat on when you land. I also a fly a PA-28-161 and, in the checklist, it says that it must be on as part of the landing checklist. Just curious about your procedures ;)

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

+nicogi I think I talked about this in another comment somewhere, but in leu of finding it, I'll just reiterate here. My instructor taught me that if you can spare the wear on the engine brought about by introducing unfiltered air, do it. In the winter months, I leave it on, but during the summer, I do a check for ice as a part of my before landing checklist. If there is no more drop in RPM than normal conditions, I close the carb heat again. I've always felt that this is one of those things that every pilot has an opinion on.

[@nicogi]

Thanks for the reply! Interesting point of view, and I agree with you; it's probably unique for every pilot. Where I fly (CYQB), we basically have two seasons: harsh winter and very humid summer, so I guess it kinda makes sense that we leave it on for the entire approach. Carburetor icing is pretty common in the skies where I fly ;)

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

nicogi Hm. Cool. We have all four seasons here, but Humid Summer and Harsh Winter are two of them and I've hardly ever had any icing. Cool to see the regional differences in such things.

[@itsumonihon]

it's worth paying attention to the air temperature, humidity, whether or not you are flying through any clouds, etc. if your aircraft doesn't suffer from easy carb ice i don't see the point in having it on. always monitor the performance, carb icing conditions are pretty easy to recognize once you know what you're looking for, and once it starts you'd have to be blind to not notice the rpm drop..! your instructor was right, FOD damage not worth the risk

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

itsumonihon Wow! Thanks for making me feel vindicated! There are so many people that will argue the exact opposite, but I think that if you just stay in tune with your engine, and be ready for a reduction in power, and know what it is, it is much better than possibly getting little particles past your air filter and into scratching your cylinders.

[@45631063]

thank you very much for video.

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

You are welcome :) Thank you for commenting.

[@p1epoppa]

Ma Dukes in the back seat, cool as a fan!😎

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

;)

[@vadermike7772]

Good video, you have a cool family. I am guessing your father is a pilot too? And btw your dad kind of looks like Leonard Nimoy

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Aw, thanks! I love them too much. Yes, he is! He actually just decided to get back into flying and went for his first refresher lesson today! Can't wait to show all you guys his progress. Oh, and I'll tell him you thinks so haha.

[@redbaron1954100]

did i notice that at shut down u pulled mixture and right after engine stopped u pushed mixture back in

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

I would never do that, so now I'll have to watch and look for what you saw.

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Looks like it's in the full lean position to me.....?

[@ronycamille]

Can't wait to go to Jaffrey

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Great Ice Cream! :)

[@Bigdogzq]

I love the sound of Mr. AWOS's voice :).

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

+Reid Templeton I actually really like that particular voice. It's familiar. Whenever I hear the Micro$oft Sam voice, I cringe because I know it's only a matter of seconds until my friends start falling over themselves laughing because of these stupid videos XD kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqeZg5V7hNGkiNE

[@Bigdogzq]

Hah, I hadn't seen that video, the worst ive known Mr. AWOS to do is once at KWVI, he called the wind at exactly opposite the way the sock was pointing.

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Reid Templeton Haha, yup. We've all had them, but at my home airport, the tower will sometimes be wrong too. It has the reputation of being a very windy airport, but us based pilots get used to it.

[@PilotJimmyJ]

Why doesn't your dad just fly light sport?

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

That would require him having any time away from work, and me having any idea where the nearest training LSA is! XD

[@BrianAnim]

@@FriendlySkiesFilm How about basic med?

[@RoyDu812]

Jaffrey's runway real bad now. Pavement is broken . The Airport manager tries to manipulate your take off and landings. You should try the Flight Deck at Keene, NH for a great breakfast , lunch or Dinner.

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Yeah, the runway is terrible. I've never encountered the airport manager, but I've heard that from other people too. Flight deck is great!!

[@jayerjavec]

What about calling Backtrack instead of Taxi-Back ? ... taxi creates confusion.

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

I've literally never heard that before. What part of the world do you fly in? It's probably a regionality thing.

[@jayerjavec]

I fly in Europe. I think it is more of a IFR terminology than VFR, not sure. But you know US and EU have certain diff. in procedures and terminology so that might be the reason you've never heard of it.

[@charlieboyes4362]

Backtrack for VFR and IFR in Australia

[@omarosamaaboellenin8081]

i wish i can get my pilots licence now but sadly i am still 14 years old

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

You can always start and solo in two years! :)

[@omarosamaaboellenin8081]

thanks for the information

[@gecko56]

Friendly Skies Film in Canada you can solo for ppl at age 14.

[@jeannetennis2441]

+John Hayden I'M MOVING TO CANADA

[@jeannetennis2441]

+Isaac Hoque actually u can take the written test whenever you want doesn't matter ur age I'm 10 and passed

[@fijician6307]

Cool intro

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Thanks, mate :)

[@R.Instro]

+1 for ice cream. =D

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

:)

hi good video hers a great tip 7500 hi jack 7600 cant talk right now 7700 have a emergency

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Hey! Thanks for commenting! Did you see my other video where we discuss some of these tips? There are a lot of good ones that made me laugh in the comments section. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqayhmdumquCoq8

75, they've got us alive. 76, give it a flick. 77 we're going to heaven

[@shadezentertainment9877]

hi friendly skies film, it seems the skies weren't friendly to Garry Bernardo right above you. He died in a plane crash a few days after this comment. www.palmbeachpost.com/news/local/pilot-killed-illinois-plane-crash-identified-greenacres-man/mFu8dDOIe3kF2OAcdlb4zI/ Rip man

[@FriendlySkiesFilm]

Oh my! What an awful looking disaster :( Rather unusual circumstances too, pointing to a midair breakup. Well, hopefully when the great people at the NTSB figure out what happened, we can all learn, and hopefully his misfortune will not have been in vain. Thanks for letting me know, friend. Blue Skies forever, from all of us, Garry.

[@shadezentertainment9877]
