Imagine Flying this thing single pilot?! Phenom 300 from Bahamas - IFR Flight VLOG

[@bumfluffles5275]

50% of comments: Love the registration Other 50%: Love Osama

[@denniscouturier378]

"...climb and maintain four-five- zero." Gave me goosebumps just a little. For an aircraft capable of single pilot (!?), that's really awesome.

[@pedrolamarao]

Yeah, I was like "what?"

[@maciejkornatowski3026]

I mean, Phenom is more advanced than 95% of commercial aircraft in service from virtually all points of view. I'm more impressed some of the ancient airliners from 50s and 60s are still out there doing that with stone age tech.

The avionics in that jet are the most comprehensive and amazing that I have ever seen. More than thirty years ago I was an avionics technician and I still love airplanes. Rotary wing has changed a lot too.

[@osamaarafat]

I flew in a Bell 505X last week with the G1000H and that thing was out of this world. Totally flyable in IFR although not certified yet.

[@ryancrazy1]

18:16 He earned his safety pilot seat haha

[@dingodango1]

The best part of the video is when Steve told Osama he was faster than Vref. I'm sure Osama knew his speed and was satisfied with it(probably flying a gust factor) but when you have a safety pilot his/her job is to point out anomalies and that's what happened. Perfect CRM and another excellent video.

[@jwdk7662]

Thought they normally have at least 10 knots higher than Vref on an approach?

[@captuelli]

JW K Vref gives you a 30% margin to stall and this is the minimum speed for the final approach. It’s recommended to further add a wind increment of 0.5x the steady wind plus the full gust on top. This should be between +5 and +20 knots for my operation but check your airplane or operator documentation!

[@FlyingSi]

VRef is not corrected for wind. His speed should be VApp, which is bugged here. That uses 1/2 steady headwind and full gust. It’s not perfect CRM at all - it’s a distraction at low level.

[@captuelli]

Flying Si Aviation Videos & Reviews you’re right. Vref is determined by 1.3VSO and your minimum control airspeed. Vapp and Vref confusion I see often... people call out speed as soon as you’re slightly below Vapp, as long as your trend is not to decrease below Vref I would argue that call out is not necessary but it’s also not bad CRM to do it... better say something sooner than end up in a stall short of the runway in SFO with a 777

[@FlyingSi]

Tim Uellendahl I see what you mean, but I’d say that pointing out an error which doesn’t exist on a type you’re unqualified on to a pilot who might not be vastly experienced on type (from comments here) doesn’t enhance safety. It could have resulted in confusion and the speed being reduced...

[@wkdravenna]

Osama is a chill and serious dude. 😁 Love em.

[@4jup4ter4]

I'd love for him too be my trainer.

[@fallinginthed33p]

It's also cool how he waits for the Mach/airspeed change on the display. It's like he knows how the algorithm works instead of just following whatever the display shows him.

[@Peel123]

We should all strive to be as chill and serious.

[@yurandicianni1055]

Osama is extremely amazing to go from PPL/IR to ATPL and typed in the Phenom, BUT you've done some amazing things as well! Not many people get to fly War Birds!

[@FlightChops]

Appreciated :). And I find hanging around with high achievers helps keep me motivated to work harder.

[@mikepazzree1340]

Does he own this jet or something else?

[@yurandicianni1055]

Osama does own!

[@UncleKennysPlace]

@@S1baar It's likely that it is registered to his business. In the US, many private owners register the plane to an LLC. The Canadian registry is currently offline, but when it's back on, you can check. CF-WTF.

Osama is a truly incredible pilot. To make the transition from a single engine TBM-850 to the Phenom 300 in such a relative short period of time is remarkable! He is the consummate professional in every aspect of flying. It is a privilege to watch a pilot handle an airplane as Osama does! He is completely focused on flying while in the airplane. Great pilot but a better person!

Great video, I really appreciate Osama's thorough approach. Even with all that automation it looks like a lot to manage. Fun flying the flight levels with you!

[@nikobelic4251]

The Finer Points that’s because it is. People think automation just suddenly made flying easy. The automation is there so it dosen’t become impossible as planes get more complex

[@alexwage6790]

Couldn't help but notice Osama vigorously shaking his legs through-out this video and the out-bound leg of the flights. Some may see that as being nervous due to being new to the plane but in reality, he's probably overcome with joy and excitement at the opportunity to live the life that he is in that airplane and that experience in general. Being envious would be an understatement of great magnitude on my part.

[@insoYT]

I recognized that too! It seems like it's just a habit for him. Obviously not sure about that however I have that exact habit and I tend to shake my legs everyday... actually while watching this video too. :) Also could be something to do with ADD, quite sure I have it even though I haven't talked with a doctor.

[@bullittstarter4408]

Thanks for this vid! I’m going into the Army as a helicopter pilot, and got my first hour of IFR time in a flight sim. It was super challenging, but the act of just watching you go through the steps, and the practice of hearing the instructions and watching you follow them... I feel like I have really been able to internalize the basics better. Thanks again!

[@bullittstarter4408]

Oh, great tail number by the way. Lol

[@FooMeister]

Thanks for your videos, and thanks to Osama. Didn't know mach numbers are temperature dependent, thanks for including that in the video.

[@meet1348]

foomeister2347 Mach Number is the ratio between true airspeed and the speed of sound and speed of sound is a direct function of temperature. The higher you go, the colder it gets and the speed of sound gets Lower and vice versa. This is why you climb at a Mach Number above FL290 to avoid having the airflow over your wing exceed the speed of sound and cause Mach tuck.

[@shawnclark732]

Pressure (density) dependent too.

[@clapanse]

@@shawnclark732 Nope - pretty much just temperature and humidity. That's a common misconception though.

[@marktaylor8263]

Very much enjoyed this video again. Great to see the progression... soon we‘ll be seeing you on a wide body! One thing that I’d like to point out to improve is call outs and phraseology. You are not ready for take off, you are ready for departure. The word Take off is only to be used in conjunction with a take off clearance. Also for instrument approaches: LOC and GS alive, captured (maybe it was edited out), a 1000ft call out, approaching minimums and this ones important: at Minimums either continue/Landing or go around. Looking forward to more!

What I would give (as a pilot) to fly right seat in that plane! Boy its a beautiful plane

[@STBYRUD]

Great to see such professional pilots as Osama at work, especially when its not their profession! ;) Two suggestions though from the airliner world - I'd let the safety pilot handle the radios, relieves the PF of a lot of work, and I don't think Steve would have any trouble handling it, even in an unfamiliar airspace. Second, I'd leave that weather radar on permanently, unless you're really in 50SM+ clear conditions - especially on the leg down it looked like you were IMC most of the way, and you never know what you might be running into. NEXRAD is nice, but with its delay and coverage gaps should only supplement your decision making. Thanks for the great flight!

[@osamaarafat]

I discussed the radios with Steve and we decided that it is best for him not to do it on this flight. A lot of things were new like CYYZ airspace, Bahamas, high altitudes etc. I also wanted him to spend more time learning the environment rather than focusing on the radios. Next time he'll be doing the radios.

[@STBYRUD]

@@osamaarafat Brilliant, I should have guessed that you discussed that ! Blue skies and happy landings, greetings from RJAA!

[@markg7963]

I liked the video a lot. Would add a suggestion to brief the emergency stuff and takeoff before engine start, instead of while taxiing out. Lowers the work load in a busy environment and allows better concentration especially with wingtip clearance on a tight airport. I can’t believe this captain came this far in that short time. Amazing job handling that all by himself complete with instruction on the video. I’m super impressed.....
