"If you are not doing something, you are doing something wrong" Nice one, Max!

[@theseeker1237]

It's only cool if you think it's cool. As a teenage pilot in 1976 I had the privilege, as a paying passenger, to sit in the cockpit from 5 min after takeoff from Iceland to 30 min till landing at JFK. Afternoon flight. Pilot, copilot, engineer, and me. That's the day I changed career paths, never a regrett. But aviation must be in the DNA, my son is a helicopter pilot. It's up to you to do your thing, be you, be safe.

[@willemp6432]

Don`t say that to my kids...

[@remasteredretropcgames3312]

Next do a spaceship.

[@shreddder999]

However, there are times in aviation when it is better to do nothing than to do the wrong thing.

[@HASBOU]

@@theseeker1237 Actually, it's up to the bank account.

[@bwc1976]

Thanks for sharing this with us. To me it really seems like the hardest part of flying is understanding people on the radio when they talk so fast, especially when they're giving you a long list of instructions to read back to them.

[@W00PIE]

I never understood this. Everything in aviation is so supersafe and redundant, and then there's this ridiculously noisy radio where you really have a hard time imagining what could have been said.

[@PebelWasTaken]

@@W00PIE Well we have readbacks for that. Also you sort of get used to it.

Same here!

[@MikeJohnson-qy4wq]

A lot of what they’re saying is standard stuff that they say every time. The pilots know what they’re saying and are simply expecting it. Like knowing the script while someone else says it. Lots of safety and regulations talk. Like a if every time you pull into a grocery store parking lot you radio in and say “approaching east entrance 20mi per hour, brakes working, elevation fine, no visual on incoming traffic, gas and engines fine, approaching the same parking spot you told me to approach 30 mins ago”. Then say that every time over and over.

Every time I see a night flight I always think of the pilots who flew the 101st into Normandy. The only thing they had was a compass to keep them on track. Brave heroes!

[@zacky5315]

I flew the c-47 over the Amazon area. All we had was bad NDBs and a faithful compass. A few times the wind threw us off. What a three years adventure.

[@MattyEngland]

Yeah, you can only imagine what they would think of all latest Nav technology. Two extreme ends of the scale.

[@zacky5315]

[@jrod_pilot_miami]

Thank you for being one of the FEW pilot KZbinrs to show use of checklist in every phase of flight. The use of checklist cannot be overstated.

[@billydavidsonvip]

To realize that mankind has went from a horse and buggy to flying an extremely sophisticated machine in addition to manufacturing all the thousands of components to make this machine operate so smoothly is astonishing

[@Laceh1]

Ye it really is. Imagine if we could like teleport a roman or an old greek to modern times. They would be astonished by what we were capable of.

[@LBCORP1960]

“Oh! Greased it!“ 😂😂😂 Love night flying! You don’t have to cut out the middle of the flight. I think I speak on behalf of all of your subscribers in saying we would be very happy to see the entire flight no matter how long the video is!😃👍🏻📽🛩

[@Vaporizerwizard]

Agreed. Love these videos. I learn so much.

[@danf2]

He has a lot of nice landings.

[@CollaredDom]

Middle of flights is time to relax a tad. Not completely, but a tad. And you don't want hard evidence out there that some hard-nosed government type might jump on.

[@LBCORP1960]

@gcam1611 Very smooth landing.

[@CollaredDom]

@gcam1611 Basically it's a landing so smooth, you don't even realize you've landed. Arguments will ensue over whether this is a good thing or bad thing. LOL

[@mikefm4]

Listening to pilots simply talk is a treat. Watching one operate and fly like I’m sitting next to them is just awesome. Really blows my mind all the coordination that goes on with one plane and various airspace’s let alone the thousands of flights happening all over at the same time

[@TIO540S1]

The visual of city lights and especially large airport lights at night is one of my favorite things about flying. Thanks as always for the excellent video.

[@CitationMax]

Thanks Rob! Definitely cool seeing the night sky and the environment around. Wish the cameras picked more of it up

[@taweihuang2563]

I like how they talked through the radio to ensure everything was right to take-off and always greet each other with "good evening" and, "have a great night". You don't feel lonely at all!

[@stanthecomputerman]

I love how polite Max is to ATC! 😃

I really like that, to save time, you communicate all of the information that you know ATC is gonna ask for at once, and in turn it seems like he's doing the same and telling you all the info you need to know all in one transmission, instead of lots and lots broken up.

Night flying looks so awesome but spatial awareness may be lacking for me anyway

[@losmosquitos1108]

O yes, it is. Not only for you. When I did my first night flying lessons shortly after my ppl, my landings were , how to put it mildly, rather rough. No sense of relative height, „VFR“ very hard and only possible in very familiar regions along major roads, but it was kind of a preparation training for late landings after a VFR flight. It is awkward not to do this in IFR..

[@weirdguy564]

I work at Duncan Aviation in Lincoln, NE, doing Avionics Install. I have to say that my favorite cockpit setup is the Cessna Citation CJ3 (aka the Citation 525B) with the Collins Fusion touchscreens. They're so easy to use. We did the first 13 installs on them, one after the other. I got used to the Fusion system quite a bit. Normally my job of installing avionics is a bit of a nightmare as we work a completely different setup every other week on a completely different type of airframe. Everything seems designed to not work together, yet we have deadlines to make. I miss having to do Fusion after Fusion installs. That was good times.
