Flying a Brand New Cessna 206! - Heaven's Landing to Falcon Field

[@vetryder]

I can only imagine how sweet it must be to be able to enjoy that kind of carefree leisure. Beautiful plane.

[@mantan9400]

And yes, I am drooling watching this.

[@Dr.Rosenbaum]

Carefree is a strong word.

[@dtmjax5612]

Closest I come to being a pilot is building model airplanes...but I love these videos for some reason.

[@adrianovitoria1248]

I am from Brazil, lived in the USA (New York area) and and was learning to fly just before 9/11. I am an aviation enthusiast and loved your video. You guys did great on this one. Keep up the good work!

[@bobrayner8878]

Thumbs up on that one, more Capt Mindy & Sarah please.

[@donaldholman9070]

It is such a wonderful video. My granddaughters (5 and 14) were excited to see women pilots. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@georgevue8175]

The interior looks wonderful. I see lots of legroom & super high quality looking upholstery.

[@harpoon_bakery162]

you make flying look so easy, you have a great attitude..and when things aren't going well for me sometimes , I watch your videos... just wanted to say thanks!

[@paunchouspilot6757]

Wow. Falcon Field. It's been over 25 years since I've flown out of there. Boy has it changed. Good memories. Thanks again

[@Subcanis]

I bought a Stinson 108-2 last spring that was based at Falcon Field. I had a gentleman ferry it to WY for me as I didn’t have my private at the time. Thanks for giving me a glimpse of where it came from; what a beautiful area. Also, just took and passed my private checkride last Sunday in that Stinson! Keep up the great work, you are a great ambassador for GA!

[@320Scott]

Congrats on getting your ticket! Safe flying and enjoy!

[@young768]

That was our Stinson 108-2 that you bought! I hope you are enjoying the airplane, I really miss it and wish my dad did not sell it, but I hope you are having some good times flying it.

[@Subcanis]

Wow! Tell your dad hi! The Stinson is flying great and in good hands. Your family took excellent care of it, and I really enjoyed getting to know your father through our conversations. Let me know if you are ever out this way!

[@GWMRed]

Chris McAtee Congratulations!!

[@appwhitd4584]

you'll LOVE that Stinson--ours was consumed by a hanger fire in the late 50's--congrats on your checkride !

[@dfiegel421]

Very nice! I love the C206, have several hundred hours flying one for the forestry commission spotting fires. The one I flew came from Florida as a float plane there. Pulled the floats off for work in Arkansas. It had a full STOL kit, 40 degrees on flaps and the ailerons would also drop 10 degrees. Land on a dime. Wingtip tanks and you could fly that thing for 7 hours.

[@alfa-foxtrot]

That's a really cool airport (hangar) layout! I've never seen one like that before!

[@MRxMADHATTER]

Heaven's landing sounds and looks like a cool place.

[@amritrai45]

Such a satisfying video. Watched the video till the end, thought that I was flying it to the end. Flying rocks!!!!!

[@ΚωνσταντινοςΣοκοριδας]

Verry nice aeroplane with a verry nice crew. What is the Registration??

[@donaldvincent]

Nice looking hanger too! Dreams do come true, just for someone else it seems. Thanks for sharing.

I got to fly a brand new 206 once, it was soo quiet and powerful!

[@ibrahimhaneef6684]

Great landing, love her attitude about the Porsche racing track

[@kellypowell5823]

Loved it. I remember when they put the F-16 there. I was painting the "Kate" torpedo bomber at the commerative Air Force hanger back in 2009. I love your videos.

[@TheVirtualAirlinePilot]

Very nice video! I watch Valerie's Baron 58TC videos too, so I'm getting familiar with seeing Heaven's Landing! I love the paint job on that 206, but I'm afraid I'm not a huge fan of big TV screens inside a light aircraft! Give me the steam driven panel any day! However, maybe I should learn. I'm not a real world pilot and at the age of 65, I'm not going to be able to obtain a licence - so my flying has been restricted to flying FLIGHT SIMULATOR in it's various guises! Now 38 years of desktop computer flying and we now have a brand new Microsoft Simulator that gives us virtually real world outside, so it's about time I explored your part of the world! It's interesting to see the differences between your flying in the US and ours here in the UK. "turn 10 degrees left" would require a readback of the new heading to the Controller over here. Things seem a lot more relaxed in US airspace. I have done a lot of IFR airliner flying in Flight Simulator over the years (we now have real live ATC) in both the US, Asia and the UK and since I can never have the wonderful experiences you guys have, I get them now in the Simulator. But it's great to watch your videos and see what you do! I create videos too of my adventures in the simulator and products reviews. I have subscribed. Please take care in these difficult days. All the best from across the Pond - Lee

[@cessna688]

I always wanted to fly in to Heavens Landing. This was so fun to watch after having done my instrument rating in the Atlanta area based out of KRYY

[@geckoproductions4128]

Nice video, tnx for the ride. Very interesting, and a far cry from my days of a whiskey compass, needle, ball, and airspeed!

[@ryanbeard9222]

Thank You! I just learned something from watching your final approach that has helped me greatly! Not a real pilot, but a virtual one:-) on MSFS 2020, but love flying. Was performing hard landings even while flaring. On y'alls final, at 17:55 adding trim on landing!. Just tried that in the sim and had the smoothest landings yet! I know it's a sim, still developing platform at that, but I was able to do a touch and go at your departure airport, Heaven's Gate(Wow! Scenery) and my home airport(KJAN)...smooth! Enjoyed the video! Thanks again. Happy Flying. RB

[@fuffoon]

Ohh, that new airplane smell!!! Its so shiny!!! As far as the landing, I really did not see a distinct touch down. Greaser...perfect. Nice airplane. I kept looking at the details and all of those unchipped rivets.

[@niceguy2171]

That scenery taking off at Heavens Landing..just WOW! That would be crazy to wake up each day, and often fly in and out of. Can't believe someone didn't hand Capt. Mindy a bottle of water and a bag of chips though..of course letting her know that's a $9 charge now ;) Great flight, albeit to short though, and that new 206 is a nice comfortable plane. Have been in with the G1000 before, but that new NXi option..which can load up visual approaches is just amazing!

[@johneckelsfans1667]

I would like to meet Captain Mindy

[@user-bo8yt4uc8b]

We used to run beer from Tallinn to Helsinki with a 206 when my friend accumulated flight time. It had that big cargo pod under the belly of the plane. It was perfect for beer cases.

[@aileron48]

One of the most enjoyable IFR flights I've seen. Awesome flight with 3 pros! Great editing, too.

[@mikestone9129]

Love the 206. For me it's the best all purpose aircraft. Put a lot of hours in them all over the world.

[@jimcameron9848]

I think it is so awesome that you can drive your plane through downtown Falcon Field and the other many charming towns in the State of Georgia. It makes sense when you think of it and apart from modifications to the drive thrus at local fast food restaurants, it is a minimal public investment for a great return with so many airplane enthusiasts driving their planes around the town!

[@jameswikstrom4174]

Great job flying the 206 Steveo. I am sure you are accustomed to traveling a little faster in the TBM 850. Very nice little airplane for short hops and love the turbo for a little extra speed. With 2 flight instructors on board, you were under close scrutiny but a Commercial Pilot can handle that quite easily. Loved the scenic tour of Atlanta!

Nice video Steveo!! Thanks for taking me back to my old home airport (FFC) where I got all my ratings and flight instructed for a bit before switching gears to ATC. We just got back from the Bahamas/Florida and listened up hoping to hear you on the radio...no such luck. Maybe one day. :)

[@C172Pilotdude]

I can only imagine what this thing costs. Just spoke to a sales rep. about a 2019 Skyhawk and he quoted me $495,000. FOR A SKYHAWK. GA is dead. Even if I was rich and the 172 was the last aircraft left on the planet, I would NOT give you half a million dollars for a 172. I'll buy an old one for $50,000 and dump $100,000 into it and be perfectly fine. Glass cockpit and everything.

[@tracyholmes9193]

Yep.

[@OnePointLander]

Spot on

[@dimitristripakis7364]

[@CCGR-2024]

It is nice to see a video with an aircraft I might actually fly! Thanks for a great video!

[@ozziepilot2899]

70kts on final, 65kts over the numbers, sure sounds like the C172SP numbers . Very nice plane , no doubt it's kind of pricey too (at least in Australia). Great video Steve, I can see why it's called Heavens Landing, beautiful location.

[@niklaspilot]

Paul Scotchford That’s probably because the SP and the 206 have basically the same airfoil. The 206 is just a little heavier.

[@ozziepilot2899]

@@niklaspilot Makes it a bit easier to cross types when upgrading then.

[@davidbsac]

Final approach speed of 75 kts on the 206 within 200lbs of gross landing weight is preferred.

Loved the 206 days, but mine didn’t have a fancy autopilot lol beautiful plane! Great video as always 👌🏻

[@Bartonovich52]

Me too. Taught me an awful lot about flying.

[@GWMRed]

Agreed! It doesn’t hurt that Capt. Steve is so easy on the eyes. 😉 The club to which I belonged had a 206. It was not autopilot equipped, nor did it have a/c, and it was not a turbo model. I started my IFR work in it, thoroughly enjoyed it until an apparently lax maintenance program resulted in a cylinder head failure (CFI aboard and 400 mi.XC) and inflight emergency declaration on a day with weather much like that in the video. We made it to an alternate airport. “I learned about flying from that.” It was a very forgiving aircraft, good load hauler, and a great instructional machine.

@@CONFUCIUS-f2x Did you ever listen to Spanish women? Until a certain age they've got beautiful, natural girl voices. And then they learn each other to rape their own voice. Excuse me, that's the best description. They start talking very strange, low and forced. It's a common madness. I don't understand it, but many do it. Just pay attention when you hear Spanish women. No offense, it's culture, but just listen what happens. Thats just like that squeaky voice, if you ask them why they do it, they have no clue. There are more women who talk strange. Do you notice many start pressing their throat closed while talking, like they are very tensed or stressed? Then you get that cracking voice, an annoying kgg kgg kgg sound. I can't stand it, why don't they relax and talk normal? Yes, most people have no idea how they use their voice. Or their body, that's in fact the same story, just let's keep it to voices.

[@MADMANB68]

Just wondered! if the engine were to (god forbid) fail would the plane just glide or drop to the floor?? I’m scared of flying and always think of these scenarios lol I applaud these pilots an passengers I couldn’t do it. Also very nice video 👍🏽 thanks.

[@diegoazcuy300]

It would glide. The downward component of gravity is not enough to overcome the plane's forward movement; basically, until it loses its energy.

[@sanfranciscobay]

Your standard 4 seater high wing airplane has a glide slope of 8-9 to 1. It would fly forward for 8-9 feet for every 1 foot down and land at 60-70mph anywhere it could if the engine stopped. A golf course, a long road, a football field...You could be seriously hurt, killed or survive with moderate or minor injuries. Depends what you hit and how hard.

[@norigibson]

It will glide, but only if you put the nose down and maintain a speed that creates enough lift. If you stall the wings the airplane will fall out from under you. Glide speed is very important when you have lost power. Life and Death.

[@TachyonDriver]

MadmanB68 - just an idea - have you thought about having a trial lesson or pleasure flight in a glider? They're just an aeroplane without an engine and fly around perfectly fine.. no need to worry about engine failure ;) If the pilot can find a thermal (rising column of hot air) or use the lift from a breeze blowing up the side of a hill or mountain (ridge lift) then the glider can use those phenomena to stay aloft for hours.. Steveo has done some gliding videos..

[@wwhite993]

Had to divert to FFC due to storms the night I reached my 100th flight hour. It's a nice airport, but busy during the day with all the traffic from Falcon Aviation Academy. Diamonds buzz around that airport like a hornet's nest. Great video Steveo. It's nice to see you flying in my area.
