Equipment Check

[@bwilliams1401]

Have seen very many flight videos, this one stands out. Camera placement, focus, everything as good as you can get, excellent, many thanks.

Me holding sign cardboard sign at the local airport like..."Will work radios for right seat". Great vid.

[@Aaron.k19]

Excellent video

[@smurphy1977]

I realize this is most likely a non towered airport but isn’t it a good practice to make a CTAF call and at least look for landing traffic before TO?

[@whs2220]

you can see him making the CTAF calls as he rolls by the fuel stand and he is checking the pattern just before his turn to the active... he also makes turn to base and final calls. You just cant hear them. His lips are moving and his fingers hit the transmit key. The engines are just drowning out the radio and he doesnt have the cameras connected to coms.

Nice landing captain! I admire the King Air’s ability to hold it’s reputation for so long being so reliable in the aviation industry. What is your normal operating cost per hour?

[@8704031462]

Yes t is a phenomenal airplane. I honestly do not remember. It’s been over 3 years since I was in it.

[@dreamaviation381]

Oh okay. I am looking to buy a 310R in a few months. Looking for someone who can educate me on the 310R . Thanks for the information.

Very nice sounds!!!

[@F.A.A.F.0]

Awesome! I enjoyed watching.

[@8704031462]

CMallory thanks!

[@F.A.A.F.0]

No Thank You! I know it's not easy to edit and post these videos. I find them entertaining. Especially aviation videos with the mighty King Air. I've always wanted to fly.

[@scottmajor2620]

Looked fun. I guess I always thought 350s had to have 2 pilots. Awesome that I was wrong. Please keep them coming.

[@8704031462]

Scott Major they typically do require 2 pilots but like the straight wing citations, you can get a single pilot exemption.

O nice.....

[@preetysaurabh174]

Is the flickering pfd only in videos or they are in real life?

[@8704031462]

Preety Saurabh only the efis tubes do it while videoing. Modern screens do not flicker while being videoed.

[@preetysaurabh174]

@@8704031462 but why do they flicker in the first place ???

[@8704031462]

Preety Saurabh honestly I’m not sure.

[@elij.s.7580]

the camera's frame rate is too slow for the light wave pulse. its normal for videos unless you're using a super expensive camera. LED tail lights for cars show up the same way on video

[@ryanchristopherson374]

@@8704031462 More specifically, it's a strobe effect that reveals the differential between the display's refresh rate, and the camera's frame rate. Unless they match exactly, you'll see a flicker, or in other cases, a slow cycling of color shifting.
