+SyberPrepper You are very welcome, Grant! Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido

[@tobyw9573]

Hi Guido, I used to work on German air cooled cars and wish I had the diagnostic tools that come with your plane! But I have no hands-on experience with aircraft. Getting all the cylinders to pull equally usually added up to the sweetest running engines. You might ask Mooney or some racers their opinion. The simplest cure that happens in cars is to clean dirty injectors by running fuel conditioner/injector cleaner like Techron in the fuel. Auto gas tends to clog them slightly making the spray vary like a can of spray paint, fine spray when new, blows out coarser spray with gobs when old. I assume the same is true of AVGAS. The fine spray burns clean, the bad spray burns incompletely creating a leaner mixture and sometimes the carbon pits the valve seats. Poor running tends to soot+up the exhaust and perhaps cause some degree of spark knock. A lean cylinder should improve with richening the mixture. And as you say, It could also be all or in part poor ducting. But Mooney has been making planes for a very long time, they should have it right. A little fiddling with the mixture costs nothing and fixing a problem may gain you a few GPH. Good luck with your past-time!

[@JordanKingGaming]

Hey Guido. Amazing video as always. I just had one question. You were originally cleared to 180, but when you checked in with Scottish control, you read that you were climbing to 160. Was that part of your flight plan and they originally cleared you of traffic up to 180 or was that an oversight?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Jordan King Thank you Jordan. The aircraft performance was not good enough for the climb to FL180, so I changed it to FL160. The engine is not turbocharged. Thank you for watching my videos in such great detail & Happy Landings, Guido

+nigel wilson Only my pleasure, Nigel. Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido

[@TheFinerPoints]

Great video Guido! Great procedures / tips and a beautiful bird. Fun to watch. Thx

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Only my pleasure! Thanks for watching my videos and happy landings, Guido

[@offgridcabin1557]

Again Guido, another fantastic video. I have learned more from your flight video's than I learned from my own CFI. And I am not kidding. I love watching your video's because you walk us through the different types of aircraft you are ferrying. I have been flying Cessna 172's so your video's give me a great perspective on the other types of GA craft that are out there. Love the G1000 dash in this one.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Offgrid Cabin Thank you very much. Flying is a never ending learning process. Happy Landings, Guido

[@jedmallen5320]

This is a model of how cockpit videos should be. It's like I'm inside the cockpit so clear. Every instrument adjusted is pictured if hidden from view. Impressive.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much! My newest videos are in 4K with an even higher resolution. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hl7VloGIgqamha8 Happy Landings, Guido

[@steveb5249]

I agree I enjoyed the video and use of pop up windows and pointers was great

Hi Guido, Great video :-) I have seen that, during taxi, you don't use the airport charts which can be displayed on the MFD thanks to Jeppview. This aircraft was not equipped with this option ? Best regards

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+François SUTTER Hi Francois, this aircraft was not equipped with this software option. Happy Landings, Guido

[@keithd.glasgow809]

Wonderful as always, Guido - thanks for the ride. What a nice clean panel in the Ovation.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Keith D. Glasgow Thank you, Keith! It is indeed a very nice aircraft. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+FlyingHigh Aviation Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

[@jibeneyto91]

Hallo Guido! Awesome videos, very instructional. Just a question: why do you retract the gear immediately after lift-off? I was taught when flying SEP complex, to wait until there is no more usable runway ahead before retracting the gear (I guess in case of engine failure you can land back down).

[@GuidoWarnecke]

You have a good point here. Difficult to judge, what "sufficient runway" in an accelerating aircraft means. I personally retract early, have a full understanding for different thoughts too. Similar situation is: you you fly an approach as such that you can reach the runway after an engine failure. Probably not. Happy Landings, Guido

[@mohitmansukhani]

Was that yellow twin at the end a Twin Comanche? (Love that plane got my multi rating in one)

[@GuidoWarnecke]

That ist correct. The yellow aircraft is a twin Comanche. Unpleasant news here: www.gov.uk/aaib-reports/aaib-investigation-to-piper-pa-39-twin-comanche-c-r-g-lare Thanks for watching my videos in such detail & Happy Landings, Guido

[@InfusedBiker]

Excellent video. I am a complete newbie to aviation and I find all your videos very easy to understand, especially when you take the time and effort to edit with textual comments on what actions to take etc. Very inspiring. Makes me want to take up flying... can one start flying lessons at the age of 48 !! Hehehehehe !

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Catspectful Thank you! It's never too late to start flying. Go for it! Happy Landings, Guido

[@efox2001]

Excellent video made all the better with a Catalina guest appearance at the end! :)

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+efox2001 Thank you! Not many Catalinas around anymore... Happy Landings, Guido

[@luislima4053]

Thanks Guido Warnecke, once again, because through your videos I can learn more about aviation (I am a pilot), and I can see amazing scenes, like this Catalina (PBY) that you parked next in Reykjavik. In the 60's and 70's the Brazilian Air Force used these aircraft to support the population in the Amazon region including the indigenous people. I lived in a city in the state of Pará (SBAA) from 1964 to 1974 and at this time I flew a lot in PBY and DC-3 of the Brazilian Air Force (I was not a pilot yet), good memories. When I became a pilot, I went flying in the jungle (SBIH) in a gold mining region (Piper Navajo, PA-31). I also flew 50 hours (as a co-pilot) on a DC-3. God bless you Guido ...

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much for you interesting story, Luis. Greetings to Brazil & Happy Landings, Guido

[@luislima4053]

Thank you Sr....

[@Marmalade624]

hey Guido, I don't usually post comments but thought I should just wish you a merry christmas (bit late - sorry!) and a great 2016, thank you for all the great videos over the past. In the process of getting my PPL in the UK und ich lerne auch Deutsch in der Schule! Alles Gute! Sam.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Marmalade624 Vielen Dank, Sam! Thank you! Best of luck for you PPL training and all licences that may come after that. Happy Landings, Guido

[@jibeneyto91]

That tower controller could have given you better traffic information to improve your situational awareness considering they were communicating in Icelandic and not English.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

This is a common problem in countries where local language is spoken at larger airports. Happy Landings, Guido

[@sumaket]

Hey Guido ! This one is neat ! And the quality of the video is outstanding !! Plus adding all those pictures of the cockpit items you use is getting greater ! thanks for all the efforts you put in those videos ! I clearly have to get better on my vids ! and that's what i like with you, somehow, you push me forward to get more professionnal when i fly. And also, i'm freshly qualified night VFR :) and it is awesome. To end this, like always, i have a question for you :p Normally wouldn't you prefer to set a speed setting on PA climb instead of a VS ? i don't know why, but i think on the ATPL theory, they are teaching us this, coz then the PA could then "chase" the v/s, therefor loose the speed, which is not good obviously. Am i wrong on this ? ( a wild guess is that there is no A/T on the mooney, and that if you are looking out and reducing v/s along the climb, it's ok) Anyhow, good to see you, and take care of yourself on those ferry flights over there ! Misha

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Suma_ket Thank you, Misha! Congrats on the night VFR and any license / endorsement that comes after this. Autopilot: if you climb on vertical speed mode, you have to be very careful to control the airspeed. In some aicraft, like the new C182T, I use the "indicated airspeed" (FLC) mode a lot. Some autopilots struggle to maintain a selected airspeed though. Some autopilots don't even have this function. Happy Landings, Guido

[@ilikerio]

[@christopherolsen113]

I've just recently earned by PPL. I've admired the good habits of check lists. As I now move up to high performance and take on instrument training, I'll strive to keep the checklist-habit strong. Great flying!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Christopher Olsen Your comment makes me really happy, Chris! Glad to see that you using checklists and that my videos motivated you a bit to do so. Happy Landings, Guido

[@PaulCaswellKite]

Hello Guido, I am enjoying your videos. Although, I have to ask why you did't don your gumby suit on the crossing? As I was ferrying a PC12, our route of flight was LSMV-LSZB-EGPK-BIRK-CYYR-CYBT-KBJC. Specifically between EGPK-BIRK-CYYR we were in full suits just in case of the slim chance of a PT6 failing. I would think trying to put on the suit in a small cockpit such as the Mooney would prove to be near impossible. What was your plan in case of an engine failure?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Paul Caswell Hi Paul, of course I was in the suit!The leg part fully in, the rest ready to slip in. If you don't have a suit, you don't need a raft... Happy Landings, Guido

[@TimKirkmt]

Great video Guido....I'm currently doing differences training on a Diamond DA40 TDI, so the G1000 is very much of interest. A great bit of kit!!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Tim Kirk Thank you, Tim! I like the Garmin 1000 too. Very good equipment and very intuitive to use. Happy Landings, Guido

[@v1rotait23]

Hi Guido, Another very nice video flight. I see that 'GX was a normally aspirated IO550. What was the TAS at FL160? What winds and subsequent GS did you find in the cruise? Looking forward to the next leg! Love your work, David in NZL

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+v1rotait Thank you, David. If I remember correctly, the TAS at FL160 was 168 kts at a very low fuel flow, around 10 gallons per hours. If you are interested, please send me an email (address at end of video) and I mail you a engine condition monitoring sheet with all data. I take note of TAS, fuel flow and CHT/EGT for all 6 cylinders.. Greetings to NZL & Happy Landings, Guido

[@Mark-gu7uw]

Greetings Sir from Palm Desert, CA, near PSP (Palm Springs). Really enjoy your videos. Your great flying is truly complimented by your excellent video production. I am a non-rated individual and have had some unique experiences while flying with my rated military colleagues. While seated in flight deck and observing my friend while he was the Pilot Flying shooting a 'no flaps' landing in a C-130 Hercules under the watchful eye of an inspector pilot is a permanent memory for me. I really believe flying professionals such as yourself are gifted individuals. Now, Sir, if we can only get the traffic here in Southern Cali to 'power up' their common sense to 100% before they leave their driveway! Best wishes to you, Sir, for many more years of great flying experiences! V/R mark wright

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Mark W Thank you very much for your kind words, Mark. Happy Landings, Guido

[@spionen007]

Another great video! Would you recommend always using a checklist? ;-) I like that you hammered that into our brains throughout the entire flight.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Alan Cluff Thank you Alan. YES, us a checklist. Don't be a "slave" of a checklist. Use it to prevent that you forget something. Happy Landings, Guido

[@irishrover63]

I assumed that there would be a sensor that would prevent the landing gear from retracting whilst on the ground. Great video, learning a lot. :)

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+IRISHROVER There is a protection. (it is called WOW weight on wheel switch). Taxi on uneven ground can lift the wheel struts enough to release the switch. Never rely on this. Happy landings, Guido

[@Jagjeff66]

I just found and watched most all your videos and enjoy them very much.very informative and I also like how you stress the use of checklists at all times.Thanks for taking us flying with you!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Jagjeff66 Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

[@skigeilfahrn]

Love this video. Flying a Mooney is more related to my personal flying (renting 172 and 182RGs) than a busjet or King Air. There is always something to learn from your videos. This time meticulous engine management and "precedural service" which I haven't come across here in the US yet. I have also never used speed brakes. Was surprised to see them used on short final. Always thought this was a descend only measure.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+skigeilfahrn Thank you! I learn on every flight too. The speed brakes are a fantastic tool on the Mooney as it is a very clean and fast aircraft. Happy Landings, Guido

[@AV8R_1]

You need a clearance just to start up?!? That sucks! Beautiful cockpit and that Mooney though!!!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+TomVaillencourt Almost standard in Europe. Tomm. Happy Landings, Guido

[@paul.ciepiela]

Hi Guido, do you know you can press VS and ALT in this order ( keep pressing VS when you press ALT ) and the A/P will engage a climb or a descent and automatically stop it's descent or climb at the selected altitude. Because I see you using only the VS button. Great video, can't wait part 5 and 6 !

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Paul Ciepiela Hi Paul, This autopilot will level off at the selected altitude. Alternatively it will level off when you hit the ALT button. Happy Landings, Guido

[@JulietTangoAviation]

The air traffic control system there seems be a bit more relaxed than in the states... Do you ever feel it wouldn't be sufficient enough to cross safely unless you had a set-up in the cockpit such as the G1000?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+JulietTango Aviation Any GPS is good for a crossing - as opposed to the dead reckoning and ADF navigation in the "old days". But the G1000 is just perfect! Happy landings, Guido

[@cuylerbinion5872]

What is your strategy for flying into IMC and possibly known Icing conditions? Is that why you kept asking for "lower"? Is the money FIKI approved? Thank you commander Warneke.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Cuyler Binion icing is something you should get out of. You can climb, descent or turn around. This Mooney is FIKI approved, but no aircraft is designed to fly in icing for an definite time. Happy Landigns, Guido

[@chrissanchez9935]

Sir, do naturally-aspirated piston-engine aircraft tend to cause piston ring flutter when cruising at long periods at altitude with manifold pressure lower (let say 11,000 ft ISA or warmer less than 20 in Hg) of what is recommended in the POH during cruise?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

I am not aware of this. I heard that you should not run a piston engine for indefinite time at idle. Have not heard of piston ring flutter under these conditions. I will ask the experts. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

[@valuedhumanoid6574]

How many aircraft are you rated in? Single, multi-engine, jets? I see you flying just about everything. I suppose if you're proficient in an aircraft like a Cessna Caravan it will be very similar in a Kodiak.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

I fly several different aircraft, it can be challenging at times. Not so much the "flying" part, that is pretty similar. More the cockpit setup and different avionics need attention. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

[@lbowsk]

Just retired from a 35-year career. Much of it spent flying over-water in Boeings and Airbus aircraft designed to fly over water and the poles. No way I'd take a piston single over the North Atlantic. How do you get your giant balls into a Mooney cockpit?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hi Steve, it is a calculated risk. I have stopped however ferrying single engine piston aircraft. If it is single engine, it has to be a PT6. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

[@cencalmatt]

That is quite the ferry flight. Hope you're being compensated well. I'm curious how many hours you have and if you used to/still do cfi work if you don't mind answering. Outstanding video as usual!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hi Guido, another great video - you're professionalism is a always an inspiration. Quick question: How often does the owner fly with you when you're ferrying? Do you welcome the company ?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hi Guido i was wondering if all of these waypoints such as ALDAN, ARBEX, EL were NDB's or just waypoints set by ATC?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hi Cem. the waypoints are set by the Icelandic authorities and approved by ICAO. They must have 5 letters and must be somewhat "pronounceable" by pilots with different language background. EL is an NDB, these have normally two letters only. Happy Landings, Guido

[@viniciusrosa2832]

Hey Guido Warnecker pretty nice video. I have a question for you and I hope (if possible of course) you could answer for me In your view point what is the relation between bad weather and fuel consumption ?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+vinicius rosa Bad weather requires more fuel, because you need options: - to fly around bad weather - to abort an approach and fly to an alternate airport - to fly against unforeseen headwinds Without enough fuel, you have less choices to react. Happy Landings, Guido

Why such a wide range in cylinder head temperatures at any one time? Looks wide, hard to read. I’ll try full screen.

Love your video. It is the only way I get to fly anymore. I miss it. This is the next best thing. I feel myself sitting in that seat and even felt the ruse when you were landing.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you Glenn, Happy Landings, Guido

[@LucasAlves-hx5ms]

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Lucas Alves Work hard an you will become a pilot! Happy Landings, Guido

[@stephanwestrum]

As always, very interesting and information-rich video! Thank you!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

You are very welcome Stephan. Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Silly question, when wearing the cannula in the nose, what happens if you start breathing through the mouth at high altitude?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Lester Oliv Hi Lester, it is not designed for this. Happy Landings, Guido

[@kch2005]

Your videos are really awesome. When you fly this manu different types of aircraft, do you use mnemonic/checklists like GUMPS/CIGARS etc. or can you remember all the different flows and memory items across the different types?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

I am a great friend of ch lists, even if they are simple. For the smaller aircraft with fixed gear I have generic checklist, for the larger aircraft I use the manufacturer's checklist. Easy to forget something. Sometimes you can forget something like to lower the landing gear. Estimates are that 50% of the wheel up landings are caused by pilot error and not technical problems. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

[@kch2005]

@@GuidoWarnecke thanks for your answer. Have you made your own generic checklist for smaller simple A/C? I agree that checklists are our friend. In some of the aircrafts I fly I need to remember to change tanks But this os not in a checklist. Other A/C’s have very incomplete so maybe a generic self made would be a great idea. Then I always have my own? In UK a lot of pilots do a FREDA check in Cruise. To remember: Fuel, Radios, Engine, DI, Altimeter.

[@MikeKobb]

Guido, you always seem to have really nice laminated checklists. Do you make your own?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Mike Kobb Yes, I do. Mike. One has to be careful however to "design" on own checklist. I use the manufacturer's list and just make it better to read. Happy Landings, Guido

[@marklee1462]

why ferry an american airplane back to America ? - just buy one there and save the ferry..

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Mark Lee Hi Mark, depending on the market situation and currency exchange rate, it happens quite often that aircraft are shipped back and forth. Happy Landings, Guido

[@dreamliner5112]

Hallo, einfach ein großartiges Video. Wie immer. Ich mag die Art, wie du immer wieder auf essentielle Sachen aufmerksam machst. ALWAYS use Checklist ;-). Würde jeder in der Luftfahrt seinen Job so selbstverständlich und ernsthaft machen, wären viele Luftfahrt - Unfälle nicht passiert. Vielen Dank für die Mühe das Video zu machen und ein schönes Weihnachtsfest Grüße aus EDDB

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Dreamliner Vielen Dank! Gruesse nach Berlin & Happy Landings, Guido

[@GunsNHarleys]

Wonderful video Guido!! Thanks for sharing with everyone!!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+GunsNHarleys My pleasure! Happy Landings, Guido

[@Jaccoob233]

Cool vid! Why did the Reykjavik tower call a go around for the other aircraft at around 13:00?

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Jaccoob233 Thank you! i am not 100% sure, but I assume that the spacing was too small. Another option might be that tower wanted to get the Jetstream aircraft that was holding short of runway 01 on the way. You see the aircraft when I was on short final on the video. Happy Landings, Guido

[@eansugarman4675]

Appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. Thanks so much!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Ean Sugarman Only my pleasure, Ean. Happy landings, Guido

[@hellosiri1483]

instead of watching the checklist you should call out the checklist item it will be good for you 👍🏻

[@GuidoWarnecke]

In a single pilot environment there are different philosophies about checklists and their use. I elected to read the checklist silently (as a backup of my memory items). Other pilots may do it differently. I do call outs "to myself" for certain items on the checklist flow. "say-look-touch". Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

[@BarelyAwake]

Another video so soon... we are spoiled! That felt like a very busy landing.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Ken Gordhamer Thank you, Ken. Happy Landings, Guido

[@CarlosAugustoMouraguto]

Nice approach Cap Warnecke ! Any trip to Brazil scheduled? :)

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Carlos Augusto Moura Thank you, Carlos, No trips scheduled at the moment. Happy Landings, Guido

[@stefandessalines4877]

The new video is so clear. It's like I'm in the cockpit. Ach du lieber. :)

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Stefan Dessalines Thank you, Stefan. Happy Landings, Guido

[@glonch]

Just awesome - BTW - your link to alpha2bravo has a 0 at the end...

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Richard Thompson Thank you, Richard. I will check the link. Happy Landings, Guido

[@keithsewell283]

Do you need a lot of survival equipment when going over large amounts of water? I see your wearing a wet suit

[@GuidoWarnecke]

+Keith Sewell Yes, you do, Keith. Without an immersion suit, you don't even need a raft, because you will not make it in the cold water. It's a raft, Immersion suit, satellite based emergency locator. Happy Landings, Guido

[@Diesel844]

That´s what I would consider a "late landing clearance" :) Great video!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

As long it is safe, it is ok. Happy Landings, Guido
