FLYING THE FIRST AVIDYNE CITATION ENCORE

[@QuantumFly]

I installed the IFD-550 with remote transponder AXP22 in January and am loving it, but still learning the tips and tricks. I also just finished my (basic) version of that in my last video. Thanks for the great information Kris!

[@Colin399]

I’ve just got to grips with my TV remote!!

a 16 minute Avidyne commercial. nice

[@prestonmiller9552]

Life in the air just keeps getting better and better. Thanks for sharing that.

[@HighTide1715]

Great Vid ! Thanks Kris. Avidyne seems to be a good company, with a great product. I wish them well, and hope they have great success with their product. I am thinking of getting one, however I also need an airplane to install it in ! Thanks again.

[@johnmezera2862]

That system is so cool. Someone put a lot of time and effort in developing this software!

[@ovet81]

Everything happens so fast in jets. I love 172’s and R44’s.

Aha I thought I noticed that paint job. 189wt is a beauty! Jett aircraft let me tour her a couple months ago

[@ricktrimble4589]

Nice job, Kris.

[@PoleyB1]

AWESOME Vid!! TYVM for sharing

[@GaryMCurran]

So, you're working for Avidyne now? LOL It is nice that you are able to offer insight into this system for those who are upgrading. By the way, when 75W is finished, are we going to see the new, unannounced Avidyne G500/600TXI fighter from Avidyne? LOL

"The plane that crashed was registered to Encore Motors of Melbourne Inc, which is based in Florida. John Rumpel, who runs the company, told The New York Times that his daughter, 2-year-old granddaughter, her nanny and the pilot were aboard the plane. They were returning to their home in East Hampton, on Long Island, after visiting his house in North Carolina, he said."

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Well that was a different kind of flight! Jets amaze me with their speed. 😎 Nice explanation and demonstration, Kris ... and Kim did a great job filming there too! 👍🍻

[@vanallen9453]

Thanks for sharing Kris...Pilot being briefed by Baron Co- Pilot on the features and advantages of the Avidyne...priceless...

[@stories-myhalfcenturyasapi3978]

Everyone has their own criteria, of course. But in my mind, raising the gear (4:59) with that much runway remaining is not an optimal balance of priorities. Call it risk vs. reward (or cost) for that tiny possibility that things migrate to hell in a hurry - as in, instantaneously. Five or six seconds delay to put the wheels in the well is not a perceptible cost. Keeping the runway as an option if sudden silence happens is worth it to me. We all practice loss of one engine at or after V1, but how many of us keep loss of all thrust in mind when calling for gear up or when reaching for that handle? If you're really concerned with the cost of that drag for a few seconds at 120k, then plan on lowering the gear an equal number of seconds later on approach.

[@Mikinct]

I think part of the reason of getting g the gear up ASAP has more to do with trying to “keep Airspeed” at or above Blue Line after engine loss. So keeping gear down seems better but don’t forget it creates soo much drag & if engine failed at 300, 400 ft I’d rather have Airspeed & emergency land straight ahead with gear up than dip below blue line & have no rudder authority to prevent drastic yaw & spin flip. That just my opinion. You keep yours

[@daveriley6310]

@@Mikinct Thanks for the reply, Michael. And, yes, I will retain my view that, as long as sufficient runway remains ahead of me to land on pavement, the gear handle stays in the down position. It was sort of ironic that within 24 hours of having had just this same discussion at Sun 'n Fun that I had an engine quit on a single engine piston experimental at 80 feet on takeoff. I was actually thinking of that conversation, with the gear handle still down, when things got quiet and the airplane went from a thousand fpm up to a thousand fpm down. I'm still alive 30 years later and the airplane flew again with minimal cost. With 30,000 hours, I have experienced plenty of times when the co-pilot called for gear up immediately after positive rate was confirmed, but I replied with "Delaying with available runway remaining." It's a different view of what constitutes safety than the view you hold, but each of us must choose where and how to stack the odds in our favor.

[@Mike7478F]

It's a massive improvement from the older massive book and pieces of paper. Some pilots would be intimidated by this though,but it's just going through it repeatedly.

[@michaelstallone1600]

Well done awesome system

[@sethbaldwin249]

Right before You guys started the approach, atc said Maule 7 and it cut off. I bet it was 79HS. Those are planes from my school in arkadelphia (Henderson State University), and they’re great planes. I’d love a shoutout when you fly back south with the Baron if you could!!! Love the channel!!!

[@friendme1032]

Thank you

[@BaronPilot]

You’re welcome

[@Mikinct]

Easy question 4 ya- We’ve all known about the asymmetrical thrust on a light twin like the Baron twin or Cessna 310. But do small to medium sized Lear jets deal with the same exact issues as light twins or because the engines aren’t mounted directly to each wing but instead on the sides of the fuselage aren’t as drastic when loosing one engine on take off or landings?

[@BaronPilot]

It still exists but not as dramatic.

Gee Kris, if you got one you could go for $100 burgers in Europe or Australia or. . . . Too much bird for me, I don't have enough friends to take places. Just get me a nice old '69 to '72 Comanche 260C and all will be well. Thanks for sharing.

[@troyjollimore4100]

Might make the burgers a little bit more than $100... ;)

[@stories-myhalfcenturyasapi3978]

JT, I know just what you mean. I almost never have more than 2 passengers and will have to get a foursome (including myself) of golfing relatives to make my latest acquisition, and C-414, seem semi-reasonable. And yet I find myself looking at Citations and Beechjet/Hawker/Diamond. The medical profession needs a specialty for this disease. It occurs to me that there may once have been such a specialty, but they all succumbed to the temptation to transition from their 182 up to a V-tail.

[@sleepyhorses6100]

With Garmin being so far ahead of Avidyne in terms of support, design, etc. it’s hard to understand why anyone would install one in a 560. You’d be hard pressed to find someone in the turbine world wishing they got an avidyne system instead of Garmin but you’ll find plenty where the reverse is true.

impossible to watch with the camera frequency rates and displays flashing and jumping so much. Can't you select different rates? Also, the glare of the panel sometimes makes it impossible to see.

[@BaronPilot]

Yes there is a shutter rate that once set and locked in will eliminate the rolling affect on the screen. Seeing as this video was my first time filming in this airplane and I only had once chance to record the footage I have, I hope you can appreciate the effort I put into bring this to you. Even guys like P1D took several flights to get the shutter figured out. Thanks for watching.

[@sey1yes2]

Two questions: Are you a paid promoter for Avidyne? :-) (and yes I want one!) Also, ta ta!, during the tutorial who was looking out the window to see where you were and where you were going?

[@BaronPilot]

No I am not. However when the opportunity presented itself to make this video and take a flight, it was way to good to pass up.

[@troyjollimore4100]

For a maintenance flight like that, they'd have reserved a block of airspace for 'testing', with ATC helping to keep that area clear. They looked to be flying in big, lazy circles for most of the video, so only the odd glance out the window was required.
