FROZEN RUNWAY - Moving the Mooney: Part 1

[@Inversiondude]

Hey Josh I just wanted to let you know that you change lives. I never REALLY knew I wanted to fly until I started watching your videos a few years back. I am 9 hours in to getting my ppl and I honestly couldn't be more excited to get those 1500 hours to fly commercial. I've never really been this happy in my life and I can't help but give you a lot of the credit. Thanks again man, you do fantastic work.:)

[@Inversiondude]

I also got accepted into embry riddle in Prescott az for this fall :)

[@robion91]

Keep pressing on Inversiondude! I just passed my private check-ride and this channel is a big part of why I started flying in the first place.

[@superskullmaster]

Must be nice

[@Aviation101]

Thanks so much for the support! Don’t stop pushing for your goals.

[@bobshaw4063]

What a nice compliment to Josh . I wish you the best learning to fly & getting your PPL . Keep up the good work . Hope you succeed in getting 1500 hours to fly commercial .

I owned N39MG (1979 M20K turbo 231) from 1995 till 2010. We put 2000 hours on it. Here are some things we learned: - always full rich in the climb, fuel is the cheapest thing you’ll put in it - flew it at 65% power, leaned to about 1550 degrees on the turbo inlet temp, never lean of peak. We got over 2000 hours on our factory REMAN. - managed the fuel burn, take off on left tank, after 1 hour switch to right tank, 1 hour on right then back to left tank, burn down to low fuel light comes on at 8 gallons, burn 20 minutes more on left then switch to right for remainder of flight. - we started the turbo cool down in the pattern. We kept the prop speed low until we retarded the throttle. If you spin up the engine while taxing you need to restart the cool down clock. The turbo Mooney is a great with lots of speed and room to stretch out. We routinely made non-stop trips from Danbury CT to Jacksonville FL in 5 hours burning 55 gallons. Enjoy it. Regards, John

[@rivirme]

what was cruise speed when burning 11 gallons/hour?

[@jhmcglynn]

@@rivirme 165 kts

[@athensdawgsuga3815]

Why not just leave it on both fuel selectors? Keeping one on for an hour and then switching to the other seems unnecessary, and adds extra steps that could possibly be forgotten about.

[@therepguy1]

Josh, I'm really enjoying your new take on humor and that a good thing! Keep up the humor.

[@collinreesejones5525]

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! An owner of several Mooneys, soloed in a Mooney in 9 hours..have all the ratings, but a true MOONIAC! GOOD FOR HIM, EXCELLENT DECISION! 😁🤗😍😎

[@melintexas4506]

Wow, from a 172 to a turbo Mooney! Man, he's living the dream!! Thanks again for a superb video.

[@marksmith402]

Fantastic as usual!! When I went from a 172 to my friends '62 M20C, I would spend alot of time practicing slowing her down from cruise to the white arc, very slippery. And lots of practice with the Johnson Bar gear extension/retraction! With the pushrods, she did handle like like Ferrari! I miss her...And FFZ!

[@darrylday30]

Great video Josh. Great shots skimming along the cloud tops. Even the refuelling shot with the meter ticking over put me into rhythm and mood of the scene. The whole video reminded me of previous adventures and even better ones to come.

[@ParadigmUnkn0wn]

That look on his face at 21:16 when the gear warning goes off is priceless.

[@sey1yes2]

Your video's are getting way better: great story telling: videography, narration, editing, and, best of all, self portrayal...plus, I'm thinking, "this guy is a pretty great instructor!"

[@charlesmckenna6164]

Great to see a new MOONEY owner!!!!!!! Get him on Mooney Space!

[@possumheadcarpentry]

I like these road ( air ) trips, keep them coming

[@kristianperkins5834]

I'm loving these vids. I fly the mooney on a home simulator and these vids help me do it properly. It's great

[@greggdiener4132]

Watching this for the first time, and as you were filming the ramp scene in Dover, I saw my first airplane on the ramp. N10937 was the plane that I owned and learned to fly in. A great memory. Thanks

[@logicreversed18t]

I was born and raised in Delaware, and it was nice to see that blue and gold flapping in the breeze. Strange what images of home can do. And what a wise decision to divert to Asheville, the craft brew mecca of planet earth. Cheers from quarantine.

[@jannepeltonen2036]

Also, yay, learned something! When I got my constant speed prop endorsement, I was only taught to cycle the prop three times (if it was cold enough to warrant making sure the oil was flowing) and watch the drop in RPM. Going to add the "check oil leak" - "check RPM" - "check slight OP drop" to my personal procedures :) (In EASA world, a complex aircraft is something different, and we have separate endorsements for things such as a constant speed prop, glass cockpit, retractable landing gear, (turbo) charged engine etc.)

[@techcommandosinc4147]

Really liked your response to the icing and your alternate changes. Great job

[@PatrickJWenzel]

Mate, these newer vids are great! I'm a big fan. As a regional pilot who tries to downsize as often as possible, I'm picking up some of your methods and applying them to my recreational flying. Thanks for passing on some great advice to the rest of us. Cheers, Pat.

[@TheFinerPoints]

Love the editing on this Josh, creative and super fun to watch, thx

[@Aviation101]

The Finer Points thanks Jason! See you at SNF?

[@DustinDawind]

Delaware Air Park and Brandywine have the same CTAF as my airport. So I hear the Brandywine traffic all the time and every once in a while the Delaware Air Park traffic comes through.

[@gregdannels1699]

Beautiful Mooney!

[@steveinarkansas8643]

Josh - so impressive. Everyone should have a teacher/guide/friend like you. Wow.

[@trinipilot2246]

Absolutely beautiful mooney!!! What a great choice for a second airplane. Congratulations!! The flight from Delaware was amazing, until the rhime ice. Excellent ADM, along with being calm. Really enjoying your videos, keep them coming. Fly safe!!

[@whiskeybravo91]

Am also from Texas have never dealt with snowy conditions like that and it always fascinates me seeing what "northern" pilots have to deal with, love your videos

[@paulr4074]

Don't think anything will beat that awesome 7 (9) part series about flying out west, but I already have high hopes for this one. Great work as always.

[@garyhaszko3311]

Enjoy your videos, your camera work and editing is awesome....I'm currently a 172 student pilot, learning just listening to our radio communications. Keep up the great work & Safe Flying

[@Joe-qj7oh]

Josh. Is a wonderful instructor.

[@marklawton1795]

Thanks Josh ! Your work - documenting, humor, flying with attention to safety and detail is all so well done and fun and important. Get back to work ! ..... make some more.

[@ShuRugal]

Gotta love a Mooney. One of my favourite things about the low stance is that you can actually feel the ground effect through the yoke - once you get used to that, never make a 'flat' landing again, even at unfamiliar airports or in unusual lighting/visibility.

[@dad1442]

My son got me a hat just like that at Walmart, and very proud to wear it. I also love all your videos and wish I could have become a pilot but things happen for a reason. Keep up the good work you do .

[@brycebott6798]

I would just like to say thank you, from the rest of the world, for the Degrees Celsius conversations!

[@sparkyranger4737]

I'm digging the Boone & Crockett look!

[@gwc3soccerplyr]

Asheville is an awesome little town! A lot of aviation history in the area.

[@PosiP]

Josh, your work keeps getting better. :)

[@edb7742]

I know this video is a year old, but I just found it. I like how you did not hesitate to change your flight plan to a safer route and intermediate destination. A great emphasis on safety first!

[@robertwren2289]

Very nice upgrade. Enjoy her..

[@hlender]

Again, excellent. Video and all. You are an excellent instructor. Some instructors sound arrogant and like they are superior to the student. Your voice and pace makes the student feel at ease and not rushed. Whatever you do you'll be a success. With your talent and attitude. Looking forward to your next video.

[@terencecottington4273]

Josh your v-logs are amazing. If you ever get bored of being a pilot and I sincerely hope that's never !!!! you could always become a full time film producer and commentator. Look forward to part 2.

[@tenletters5641]

Great job dude, the filming, the audio quality, the music choice, the editing....killlling it!

[@kutzy62]

Nice to get back to basics. Refreshing in different plane too. Congrats Ronaldo on the purchase!

[@sinfulranger12]

I love the way josh likes his snow gear so much, welcome to Canadian winters buddy

[@billnicholson2470]

I wish I knew you two were here I would have come to meet you. I live about 5 miles from BWI. I have been a ham radio operator for over 30 years and listen to BWI ATC alot. Love all of the videos. Fly safe.

[@jrdmondial1599]

Your growth as a pilot has been amazing to watch. Your personality is really starting to shine through in these vids. keep up the great work.

[@billkinzler3773]

Congrats on the new airplane! Mooney is a sweet ride. I had a 66 M20E before my Skylane. Excellent video on icing and alternative destination. Thinking ahead of airplane and conditions.👍

[@johansmitphotography]

TIT is also a abbreviation for Transmit Incremental Tuning. It is a control on an amateur radio.

[@brentjohnson6654]

I got my PPL in northern Minnesota. I don’t remember the runway being closed like that. Only thing that would delay us is to preheat when it was below 0. My complex endorsement was in a M20C and was a favorite to fly. Shoulder room between two grown men was tight but a sacrifice I was willing to give with the performance. Another great video.

[@jamesrivis620]

Great instructor Josh.

[@randalldevalcourt4000]

Josh, you two guys are doing it up--its great to watch an instructor mentor his student, great job, and one very good looking airplane, congrats. One his way home to Florida, he may have flown over or very near my home base, KOPL.

[@Reuben-ny3]

Wonderful video! It’s nice to see the lighter side of things, but also keeping things serious too. What a beautiful Mooney! Gorgeous!

[@jonteske4267]

The Timbuktu was a favorite watering hole for my work crew during my career in that area... Ft. Meade, MD Snow this week was a bit unusual and melted totally the next day. Temps mid-60s.

[@danboone8499]

Another excellent production from "Mister" Aviation. Like you, as an old Texan from the central state, I do not like cold. I shivered with you the whole time until you finally reached warmer weather. Nice hat, BTW. Not sure where you're going to put the hat band and feather (an old school cowboy hat thing) but I'm sure you'll work it out.

[@stevensrmek3546]

Another great video....... Great new plane!

[@TheDexterFishbourne]

Ahhh AVL. Worked there on the SIDA for about 2 years.

[@keithcope8113]

I have that same hat i wore it on a motorcycle ride from eastern arizona to el paso one winter in 20 degree weather you can imagine the wind chill at 80 mph lol stayed toasty all buttoned up and with full leathers great video looking forward to part 2

[@CR4ZYHOR5E]

Your production is getting super slick. Enjoyed this as always. Good job

[@loveplanes]

Really cool! As the English is not my first language sometimes is hard to me understand some words but always I learn and practice something with your videos. Thank you guys!

[@juniorditrucker]

Dude... love this channel. This channel inspired me to go and start my PPL. After 10 years of stalling. Keep it up man. Hope to get it all finished by 2020.

[@johnk8475]

any update?

[@platinum9118]

Your an awesome CFI Josh.

[@kingair1954]

Glad to see your a real guy with humor love it!

[@jeromecannon7344]

This is my favorite of all time and I have watched since the beginning. This one has personality and that is what keeps me coming back. Thanks for sharing.

[@randythorne4401]

Exciting vlog, I'm very happy and jealous Ronaldo! Looking forward to the the next one. I have time in 201's, love Mooneys, it is what made me decide on building Van's planes. Cheer!

[@gtr1952]

I always wanted a new Mooney someday. When the French company bought Mooney, and sold the rights to the new 301 to Socata, and they designed and had Daher build the Tarbes-Mooney in Tarbes France, or TBM, that is now the Daher TBM 900-930, I wanted one of those. Until I learned that they cost ~$4.0M USD. Now, at 67 I want an old Mooney! LOL 8) Congrats, nice airplane!! --gary

[@jeffhiner]

Wants aside, don't let anyone tell you that you need a multimillion dollar new airplane. The older Mooneys fly great, there are plenty that still need pilots to fly 'em, and they're fantastic cross country planes.

[@Gregs_World]

this is awesome so happy for the new plane for Ernaldo (please forgive if misspelled) another EPIC adventure the BEST aviation channel on KZbin.... WITHOUT ANY DOUBT thanks for taking us along

[@hugos6444]

Nice info, nice looking plane.

[@paulmetcalfe2467]

Great video Josh. I love your instruction demeanor and new video format. Keep up the great work as instructor and videographer/storyteller. Can't wait for part 2. You help so many, including me, to be persistent on the path to the PPL.

[@almarasco8088]

Great flight guys you will love the moony great cross country machine.

[@elkabong6429]

That plane is purdy! Congrats to Arnaldo on a fine purchase!

[@matthewcatchings2301]

Love the video, great instruction! When I do the gear check, what helps really stick it into new retract pilots. I use “career check call out” again at short final after my landing checklist was done already. Makes them laugh but makes it stick

[@robertmendenhall1350]

You guys are great I own a plane I haven't been flying for a while and you make me want to get out there and do it and in a safe way

[@Stamazing51]

Nice to see you in my hometown of Baltimore! Hope you enjoyed it and the snow for the short time you were there!

[@Dinoxt12]

Best of Luck Arnaldo with your new plane, it's a keeper 4Sure .

[@DUBaviator]

Nice airplane and the GTN750 is an amazing bit of kit.

[@donjennings2975]

How cool is that...a new plane and a complex endorsement on the way home.

[@johnbolin7098]

Congratulations to Renaldo on his new airplane ! Josh, very cool that you're going to be the CFI for his complex rating !

[@usef911]

Dude you should really Google toboggan! If you're ever in the Toronto area I'd be happy to treat you to a toque. Your videos are a constant stream of inspiration. Keep up the good work!

[@ik04]

Cool! He has speed brakes. Those are very good to have when making steep arrivals.

[@LarryPortouw]

Looks like a 231? Nice ride. I've had a carbureted 'C model for about 4 years and love it. They are fantastice, efficient traveling machines.

[@jacknolan4026]

Very nice first landing in a Mooney! Speed control is key, great coaching Josh.

[@TastierBackInThe80s]

Just wow. The visuals, quality of editing and the look and feel of videos is brilliant. Thank you for sharing.

[@garyreed2206]

Love the hat. I still have my winter flyers cap from the Air Force. When the ear flaps are snapped up, I call it my "Space Puppy" hat.

[@davidsumner4837]

Gonna love the garmin 750. Have one in my Comanche. Noticed you have a separate transponder. Our 750 has the transponder integrated. Mooney’s are great distance planes. Go fast.... Enjoy and thanks for sharing. Hope you’ll share some of the complex/high performance training with viewers. Most pilots either have them or don’t. Showing the training would be very informative to those that don’t have. Thanks as always. Love watching the videos. 7032P

[@aprilmartin8402]

You flew over my home KROA! I’ll be going down to Orlando FL in Oct. to attend the Jet Blue course! I’m beyond excited! Thanks so much for your videos and content! If you have any advice and what to prepare for or how to prepare for the class please let me know :)

[@jessebourgelas8811]

I would love to see more series on this channel. They are very well done, and I was hooked on the Coast to Coast series.

[@gregoryyp]

Keep going!! France is supporting you !!

[@jetblast5902]

Cool de voir des frenchies ici :)

[@gregoryyp]

Hugo Saunier yeah ! #avgeek

[@uwaistz7785]

I enjoy your videos especially the coast to coast series there were some cool shots in that which i wish to see for my self one day when im old enough

[@markm6254]

Glad I caught this! Great aircraft, nice instruction. I learned to fly at AVL and haven't seen that approach in many years, because I moved (coincidentally) to your original destination of CHA.

[@wavebuff]

Great first flight in your Mooney! Nice coaching Josh!

[@eliohernandez3673]

Great job and great plane!!!!!

[@flyboy6354]

Welcome to my area of the country. Nice video, can’t wait until part 2.

[@slow5203]

Oh yeah! Even in 360p that video was amazing! Keep it up and I can't wait for part two!

[@jannepeltonen2036]

"I've never seen anybody do that" - we do it in Finland every winter, unless we happen to own a pair of those fancy gloves that work with smartphones :-P And I learned to fly on frozen runways, not such a big deal over here (well, actually, for reasons beyond my control, I learned to fly over a period of two years so I did get to see clean and hot runways, clean and cold runways, runways that shone like a mirror with ice, runways with frozen ruts and ridges, runways with slush, runways with water, and everything in between; what you really wanted to avoid was landing on a runway with more than a couple cm of powdery/soft-and-wet snow) :) Loving the video, you guys seem to be enjoying yourselves despite the cool weather, and that comes through perfectly. Keep up the good work!

[@beachside180]

Nice work Josh, I enjoy your story telling style on these road trips. I have just watched some of your earlier postings again and the difference in quality, style and content is like night and day. Well done. Looking forward to the avionics upgrade episode!

[@christiancormier7847]

Beautiful new plane. Congratulations!

[@tomzimmer9183]

Hello you two. You have a beautiful machine! I wish you much fun during the transfer. Greetings from Munich Germany Tom

[@raymoleon]

Josh, this video was great. Keep up the natural humor, ahaha. Really enjoyed this video. Ground and sky shots are amazing.

[@hifiandrew]

I came for the aviation.. I stayed because... Josh you're just totally adorable.

[@michaelstern1945]

Great job Josh and great couching by you. Looking forward to the next one.

[@canconservative8976]

Great video, great plane, great flight, excellent piloting...

[@donemory7459]

Nice plane Amaldo and great flight guys! I am looking forward to your next leg. Don. :-)

[@patricksmith3135]

Josh and Reynaldo; I love this video and can't wait for part 2. The hat is super; quite smart: you should keep it as a new trademark with your logo.

[@speedbrake1469]

Nice Mooney Ronaldo. In any complex start singing ‘PUFF the magic dragon’ on finals! P prop, U undercarriage, F flap, F fuel. Enjoy your flying.
