Flying the Cessna Citation 501SP! Single Pilot into Short Runway

[@rockfishmiller]

I'm not a pilot, but what draws me to watch aviation vlogs is the professionalism and efficient manner that Owen, and a few other pilots conduct themselves. I really admire that. Not caring what seat your in. JR vogs are pretty good too:)

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thank you very much for watching!

[@jerryoshea3116]

​@@FlyWithOwen I was wondering for future ref,do u ever take any passengers? ( obviously not for free) And I live in Vegas..

[@whatta7793]

Owen is great, such a class act. I like 'Fly With Rich', too. Both are such genuine guys. I'm not a fan of the upload schedules though lol, but I'd imagine these guys are super busy, and aviation channels just don't grow as fast as automotive channels, so I can't blame them for not overworking 5 videos a week.

[@shakey2634]

I flew one of those 40 years ago. I didn't know any were still being operated. Great to see it. The scan of the instrument panel brought back some great memories!

[@FlyWithOwen]

Sweet! Yes they’re workhorses

[@towcub]

Cessna 180 owner/operator here, I like the Piaggio and the Bo. All the content is interesting to me though. Thanks Jeff.

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thanks for watching!

[@melmcclure3710]

It seems Owen is a very gifted pilot and he’s proven what hard work and passion can achieve. Having said that I enjoy watching all of his content no matter what he is flying. Keep the content coming buddy.

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@FilmSchool-om3ew]

Work, passion and lot's of funding. Going from a 150 to a Citation jet in less than a decade is not free.

[@JimmyShot]

That other dude is so annoying, Owen is awesome though.

[@blackrifle6736]

*Well, it is Jeff's (JR Aviation channel) plane...*

[@FlyWithOwen]

Lol thanks

[@notitel2530]

Owen just love your content and professionalisme and yes Jets

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thank you!

[@chadmark88]

You've come a LONG way ( literarily ) in just TEN years, Owen. I always enjoy seeing another perfect landing. I also like seeing the multi-camera views during landing - very nice editing.

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thank you very much!

[@AviationM-nx5nj]

Great video! How do you stay proficient and all those different aircraft’s? First legally (ratings etc) but also remembering all the checks flows etc…

[@reeltrides911S]

Owen is by far the best ambassador for future pilots and current ones. I’m working on getting my currency up and running again to be a safety pilot for part 91 owners and operators. Owen inspires me with each video even after over 40 years experience. Good job my man.

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thank you very much!

[@8hjaikartikmynepalli949]

Hey Owen! If you don't mind, can you please tell how many type-ratings you have and name all the types? I'm asking cuz' you're pulling up and flying different aircraft types each week (which tbh is extremely impressive!)..

[@FlyWithOwen]

I have G4, G1159, CE500 and NA265 types

[@8hjaikartikmynepalli949]

NA 265 as in the Sabreliner? I didn't know there were any flying and you never mentioned flying it.. and so these plus the Bonanza and Piaggio right? @@FlyWithOwen

[@Atrociousnes]

So is the citation a group owned plane or yours? You said the damage was to your wallet, but when you bought the plane, I could have sworn your said you were part owner with others? Sorry is this seems like a dumb question but im just genuinely curious

[@76Draeger]

Have just over 3k hours in the 501SP and what I like about this video is the use of checklist not just memory and the discussion of speed, emergencies, etc before take off. The day you think you've got enough hours that you don't need your checklist is the day your should stop flying I was always told so respect for that. Finally got as glass cockpit two years ago and didn't realize how much extra work I was doing with just analog. Glass is amazing

[@alcameron6071]

Where does the time go. As always, not even enough time to finish a cuppa coffee riding along with you, Owen. Good to see Jeff hanging out in the right seat, haven't seen him in a while. Too busy driving one of his 15 super cars I guess, lol Going to be some serious IFR weather out of Van Nuys this weekend, this will be a good weekend to stay home and watch the Yellowstone marathon. Great video as always, Owen. Take care.

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thanks for watching!

[@ThEvltwn]

Yay more Owen content 🎉 This being your own plane, it would be awesome to see what your guests experience, see and hear the cabin noise etc. Maybe in a future video with your girlfriend(s)?

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thank you for watching!

[@BRC332]

Who pays for all this?

[@blackrifle6736]

*KZbin monetisation is a big part of it.*

[@peterberg12353]

Owen makes over 700k/year as a corporate pilot

[@omarjohnson3411]

If Jeff would get off his lazy arse, coulda had his PPL and other licenses 2 years ago! Nothing in the regs that says you must train in a C152 / C172 / SR20 / Traumahawk! Bonanza makes a great platform, and you should have complex endorsement done same time!

[@FlyWithOwen]

Lol!

[@SafetyThirdRC]

Props to you Owen, pun intended. You have the right stuff. You have become my 2nd favorite pilot on KZbin. Cheers

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thank you! How do I become the first!?

[@SafetyThirdRC]

@@FlyWithOwen Guido Warnecke is my favorite pilot in your category. The accent has a lot to do with it. I was born and raised an airport brat and spent as much time in the bonanza as I did in the family car. Dad would buy them and flip them, averaging 5 planes at a time. I fly for fun and fun only now. You could say I'm a little jealous of your career. Be safe out there. Cheers

[@montemiller3447]

Whoa! We got to see Owen use his feet before flight. Might need another camera to show the feet movements, too. I'm glad the plane is doing well as are the pilot and co-pilot. 😄😄To answer Jeff's question, I'd like to continue seeing piston as well as jet flying with Owen!!

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thanks for watching!

[@llxlxllxlxll]

How do you have so many type ratings?

[@THELIFEOFPRICE]

Great video man, loved seeing you go back to the airport it all started at for you 10 years ago - but in a jet! I got the same feeling when I flew back into my hometown airport I worked at the fbo at for 10 years fueling all these jets.... to land there in a gulfstream with my family (from vegas) , to meet the rest of my family (from mississippi) was such a surreal feeling. Proud of your achievements man, keep killin it!

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thanks for watching bro!

[@chriscarey7554]

Loved the video. Have been training out of KRHV for the past year or so and it’s so cool hearing the controllers I talk to in the video haha. Hope to be in ur shoes soon. Cheers

[@FlyWithOwen]

Awesome! Thanks for watching

[@montestu5502]

I’m watching Owen, nothing with JR. They are night and day.

[@fatesandmyths]

Great video together with Jeffrey. Stick some GoPros on the Bonanza and take us with you to and from work, like a commuter log book😊

[@FlyWithOwen]

Might have to do that soon!

Piston and Jet.

[@jonbates1024]

Owen, good morning. Great post! Recently purchased a 501SP. Getting typed. Wanted to know if you have time to help with honing skills in the 501SP. Your style of flying is a good match. Please let me know. Thanks Jon

[@FlyWithOwen]

Congrats. Where are you based?

[@jonbates1024]

@@FlyWithOwen it will be based at KVNY

[@jonbates1024]

Owen, are you available on Saturday, April 6th for a pre-purchase demo in a 501SP? It would be 2-3 days total with travel. What is your daily? Thanks

[@towcub]

That’s a clever little radios panel, combining the standby between the two comm radios. Never seen one of those before, what company supplied/produced that panel?

[@FlyWithOwen]

I think it’s factory from citation.

[@danwaldie4661]

Fabulous content Owen. Do u ever make it up to YVR or YYJ here in Canada?

It’s been a while but yes occasionally!

[@chriswadlington2465]

You are definitely my favorite pilot to watch. I hope you have a long and productive life as a pilot.

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thank you!

[@DavethePilot]

Owen, how did you get several Type ratings? I know about your Citation one from this Video as well as the G4 and you fly the Piagio? How did you get all the experience?

[@Kaipeternicolas]

Respect. I fly into there with a SR22T here and there and even to me the runway feels short. 😅

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thanks! Definitely gotta be on your game

[@Masterpresident]

Airliner Commercial pilots need to watch this. Refresh your memory before every flight Go in a simulator for Air busses before flying real thing. And learn it inside out. Take every warning buzzer or glitch seriously. And not fly until fixed Or in air automatically plan to land. Emergency. Figure problem out on ground. Not 35000 feet up. Thats main reason pilots on Mayday go out like a celebrity bad pilot. They become to confident and trust computers to do their job.

[@erichoyingrealestate]

Any recommendations around the Bay Area (Mountain View) for getting my pilots license? You've helped convince me to becoming a commercial pilot. I really enjoy your videos.

[@danl5258]

Any advice for a CFII with 1000hrs currently in an Airline Pipeline program that would eventually like to get into contract flying? The consistency of airline flying seems nice, especially with the flight loan but the freedom of contract flying is also appealing. What would be your first steps to get into contract flying if you had to do it over again? Love the videos!

[@jp-iy8hk]

Owen, you are about 40 years behind me in your career. By now you know in the corporate world who you know is just as important as what you know. Jets can do amazing things, the numbers quoted are at maximum gross weight, 15c/59f and sea level. Reduce the actual gross weight and most will reduce the required runway length in about half. I’ve had a Westwind 2 in and out of 2800 feet, also landed the G3 simulator on the short runway at SNA. Nice job.

[@FlyWithOwen]

Thanks!

[@vicentemolina8162]

I hope to fly this Cessna and get a rating on a citation! Kudos to you Capt owen and JR! Hope to fly with you guys soon!❤🫡 Best Vince Pilot trainee

[@tomdick693]

be careful....that thing can only go into the upper 30's which is just high enough to get into some bad weather. Learn how to use your radar.

Always enjoy watching Owen's content. He is so very professional, and thorough while flying. Thanks to Jeff for sharing this content as well. Personally I love the Citation, although you'd have to win the powerball to fly much, with the burn rate it has. lol

I'm 72 and retired. I've flown a lot of them, I can't even guess. Bird strikes from behind, I love it!! LOL At least you weren't being towed by a flock of pigeons. 8) I haven't looked at the market in a very long time. I wonder of that was less then an older TBM? The TBM would be easier on fuel and maintenance at about the same, or close performance? Nice landing there!! 8) --gary

[@johanndork5364]

Really smooth flying and RT perfection. Any chance of filming some bad weather flights? Always seems blue skies over there. Is Jeff ever getting his license….

[@bobbelleci9995]

Hi. I have 3 brothers. My youngest had his helicopter license and used to co-pilot for KCRA3. Both my parents had their private licenses. So, im the kind of guy who likes to watch all the private and commercial jets and planes fly over. I live up in northern California situated between San Francisco and Tahoe in the valley. I get to see all kinds of jets take off from MCC which used to be a military base, but now serves the department of forestry firefighters. One year we had the big 747 doing fire suppression which was really cool, but now its mostly DC-9's and 10's. Still very cool. But the majority of flights are private contract like NetJets, etc. So, my son is in college now and thinking about his future career choices and he likes flights of jets, airplanes, and airshows ad much as i so i suggested he should watch some of your videos and consider being a private pilot someday. You know, it runs in the family. Thanks guys. Oh, btw, the Reno Air Races are no more. 😢

[@EastBloxYT]

how long does it take to fly these planes

[@JulioHernandez-gz5lr]

I'm new to Owen's channel. I love the different types of airplanes he is flying and how professional he is with all of them. Definetely would love to see the Bonanza too. As a 68 y/o PPL that will probably never get IFR rating, the world above FL 180 is fascinating to me.

[@anjillo]

Amazing … keep it up

[@jimchambers3201]

I usually NEVER comment on anything on KZbin; however, after a lengthy and colorful career in the U. S. Marine Corps in which allowed me tens of thousands of tactical air miles all over the world, you have actually given me hope for the future of American Aviation! You are confident, professional, and very smooth in terms of your day to day life as an American Aviator! Nice Work!!! Respectfully, Jim Chambers

[@bigdaddie40]

I learned to fly and instructed at RHV 40 years ago. I was the sole instructor at Nice Air when we started it up. So long ago that Amelia Reed would often be in the pattern at the same time. Even got chewed out by her once. It was a right to passage.

[@DanFrederiksen]

Eclipse 550 content might interest many. I know it costs more but because of age it might end up costing less in the long run. It can cruise below 50gph which is same or better mileage than a piston Baron. While going twice as fast. It's quite unique in fuel efficiency. Unfortunate the company went under but I wrote them recently and they are back alive restarting production. You might be able to do some videos with them on that. I don't know how far along they are. It shows that we could all have jets instead of pistons, they just have to be pressurized to have comparable fuel efficiency. Holding that pressure is easy for composites. All planes should have become jets in the 60s and notice they did for airliners. Imagine a personal jet twice as fast as a bonanza with better fuel efficiency than a bonanza. And it could be cheaper than a bonanza because a jet engine doesn't have to be complex. And they last longer.
