Flying Around the World in a TBM 850

[@oisiaa]

That was a hell of a readback at 11:32 without writing it down.

[@wayne9638]

he must have a photographic memory

[@antoniwigley3402]

He started inputing it all as it was said. Readback order is always the same. Still impressive though - I always have to write it down 😂

[@baomao7243]

7:40 Love the wing cam. It really conveys the steepness of the turn. Cinematic.

[@joepascale617]

Perfect timing, haven't seen a video in a minute. Awesome adventure.

[@hammotox83]

Flew an 850 G1000NXi for a couple years and now a 940 for the past year. I am absolutely spoiled by TBMs. Excellent machines. Definitely would be my first pick to fly around the world.

[@aviatorel32]

As someone with experience in this airframe I wonder what are your thoughts on Epic 1000.

[@cameronrussell7679]

Swear this guys just disappears then pops up out of nowhere in a new plane we haven’t seen him fly doing something crazy ie flying round the world in it 😂😂 and somehow fit it all in a 25 min video 😮

[@mattmalley]

Love your channel Matt - if you’re a Counting Crows fan (people either loved us or hated us), play some on your trip - I was the bass player on all the biggest records and singles from the 90’s. I’ll be watching as you travel the globe - keep up your great channel!

[@mattguthmiller]

Hell yeah, ended up playing drums on Accidentally in Love for like five different things in high school

[@mattmalley]

@@mattguthmiller lol awesome - I’m playing bass on that song and I co-wrote it. By contrast, I soloed a Cessna 150 on my 16th birthday in 1979. I was already playing bass so I skipped ground school and switched career paths. Thinking of getting my private pilots license now that I’m in my 60’s - due to inspiring channels like yours!

[@bjhaines3282]

That's awesome!! Absolutely loved the "August and Everything After" album! 🤘

[@mattmalley]

@@bjhaines3282 thank you sir!

[@flyboycpa]

Hey Matt, don't forget...when ATC queries you regarding type aircraft, all they want is the 4-digit ICAO code so they can plug it into your data tag. In the case of the TBM-850, it's just "TBM9" (all the variants 700/850/900/910/930/940/960) use the same four-digit code of TBM9.

[@mattguthmiller]

He just had no idea what an S211 was

[@nateb9326]

So excited! Cant wait for the rest!

[@thomasmixson7064]

Oh yeah, off we go on another thrill packed adventure!

[@Croaker369]

Good luck! Looking forward to this.

[@6r4metroman]

I'd be interested to know why your harness tension tabs are on the inside and not facing out, thanks.

[@climbingnerd]

that paint job is sweet but looking at the side view always reminds me of my amazon packages when they show up

[@Pilotc180]

It’s been said the bonanza ace smiled once back in 13, or 14; probably just a rumor

[@timsun6810]

systems and mission planning?

[@abrahamtorres3696]

What jet is he flying side by side??????

[@skycop56]

“Fuel is 30 gal low. Let’s go, and we’ll pull it back a little”. Later, “What’s this low fuel light about.” “No idea what these circuit breakers are, can’t read em”. Hop ya make it around the world.

[@Joe_Sheffield]

He's a dickhead. A total maverick.

[@TheShays]

Horrible way to comment! That fact that you are maybe right, does not change that fact that the way you comment makes you a 🫏 🍑 People...🙄

[@NovackNGoode]

Nah. Being an ass would be taking off knowing you are nigh on 100lbs short fuel. Do his insurers never watch his YT channel. Or is he hoping to film himself ditching for clicks?

[@johnqdoe]

He already went around the world chumpsky. He set a world record. This is just for kicks. “Skycop” amateur… pfft.

[@Joe_Sheffield]

@@johnqdoe yeah he did dickhead. And while on that trip he alienated normal Comms around the world. He stated while transiting the UK, that London airspace was the least congested air space in the UK.. Clearly bollocks!!

[@rinzlerF14]

Pulled in for fuel and saw your plane in Bozo hoping I was going to catch you! Next time!

[@clarencewiles963]

A what and a what are you flying 😂 Thumbs up 👍.

[@TBMPilot736]

Hey Matt, great vid!! Looking forward to the next legs! Quick question: could you give me your shortlist of memo words to remember the ceck lists for the TBM 850? Greatly appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

[@ronarnott1801]

Check lists in use? Huge amount of planning to do a world circle. Rather amazing. At TBM speeds I didn't think a wing-mounted camera was possible.

[@natetallman]

I would love to see them actually do checklists on camera.

[@caramelo540]

@@natetallmanwhy ?

[@natetallman]

​@@caramelo540 1. To set a good example. 2. Several of us over the years have commented on Matt seemingly playing fast and loose with safety items. I would love to see otherwise

[@caramelo540]

@@natetallman set an example for who ? I don’t see any reason why a pilot should take a random guy on ytb as an example

[@Dakrt23]

Why do you wear your shoulder harnesses backwards

[@sebsie5245]

Because he doesn’t know it better 😢

[@av8or971]

your shoulder straps should have the shiny metal on the outside..

[@vareast]

Looking forward to it but a little intro/ commentary would be good. And no forward-facing camera?

[@gtr1952]

Wow, they put all that nice glass in during an annual! Looks really sweet, and was very nice of them!! I missed any chatter around how this project was happening. I did think it was a little strange using a legacy 850, all the upgrades makes more sense. The new tape on the outside makes it look like its smiling, like the 'Airbus Beluga". LOL Talking about fuel and performance, maybe a new 5 blade prop would help also? Very cool, thanks! Peace --gary

[@gtr1952]

I take that back! I went and looked, it had the glass from the start. I must be thinking of another 850. 72, sucks to get old and forgetful. 8( Peace, gary

[@patchmack4469]

great flight, liking the new addition to the livery, is that a nod to Amazon with a bit of a smile, are they paying you, sponsoring or will you have topay them hehe - i will be watching this round trip as i did with the first, crikey, 10 years, thats gone by so fast, and the planes are getting bigger and faster, well done Matt

[@crash1522]

Is that an Amazon logo?

[@patchmack4469]

i was thinking that too, dit of a nod to Amazon, are they sponsoring or will it be the other way round later hehe

[@dougiehao2076]

cool

[@swingtheB]

Been following you for a while, love the videos. I use acronyms all the time when I fly, but also back it up with a checklist- what’s your philosophy on checklist usage?

[@RogerFleischer-p3f]

It is not because checklists are not necessary for safety, but checklists are edited out of almost every youtube aviation video because they too boring for viewers.

[@mattguthmiller]

If there’s something on the checklist that’s not in the mnemonic, you need a better acronym :)

[@natetallman]

​@@RogerFleischer-p3fthat's what they say, but I'd rather see them do a checklist

[@oisiaa]

"Stall"....."That's not good"...."Nah, it's just the gusts moving the sensor around"....."airspeed".... Ummm, Matt.

[@mattguthmiller]

I promise we won’t stall (unintentionally)

[@gewglesux]

Great Job crew!!! Always look forward to new stuff safe travels!

[@josr]

i really wanna join on this trip!

[@AVIATOR-by4kk]

It will be good if a map is shown to indicate the route

[@amandaville]

Let me know if you are passing through Chiang Mai, Thailand. I'll take you out for a bowl of Northern Thai Khao Soi.

I think he prefers creme of sum yun gai

[@lars9966]

life must be fun with money hm?

[@glujaz]

What do you plan to do ? Will we see you in France during your tour ? 😁

[@truthpopup]

I would guess that you are navigating clear of Russia.
