Gulfstream G-IV Reposition Flight Ft. Lauderdale to Orlando - Pilot VLOG 47

[@2diamonddragon]

Sean and Jon, great chemistry even better CRM. Love the VLOG guys

[@timbaker1678]

Golf streams are my favorite Jets I have loved them ever since the G1. so glad you're doing so well with the Gulfstream. I've got like 32 years around Gulfstream. Please keep up the great work. Love your videos. I have gotten to meet a lot of celebrities with gulfstreams. I am retired now in Sarasota Florida.

[@ChosenWon]

By the far the best aviation channel on KZbin. It's great to watch you guys perform in such a great aircraft. It's also cool your employer is fine with videotaping. It appears as if the segments you tape are all deadhead, but I haven't watched all of your videos. Have John give a rundown on he eventually got into the GIV. It's interesting listening to the different ways pilots get to where they're at in aviation. So many of the aviation channels are of guys flying for 5 minutes and videotaping what type of hotdog they ordered, and the ride on the way to the airport. Who cares? This is pure flying. I've watched enough of these channels to think you guys will eventually be tops of them all. This is a really interesting channel. I hope to see some approaches to minimums and maybe some talk about fuel burn, maintenance, etc. Thanks for the great videos.

[@douglasRbrown]

Not paid to smile... paid to arrive safely... LOL Thank you for taking the time to post the videos...

[@richardvarner2802]

Great flight, Guys. Shaun, I am so amazed at how well you and Jon work together. You guys work like a well-oiled machine, and your constant cross-check is spot on. I’d feel safe flying with you guys any day of the week. BTW, when Jon doesn’t smile, it’s because he is FOCUSED. 😂😂.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you so much...we really appreciate it!

[@Joel3130]

Definitely one of the best videos, mainly because John was laughing and smiling. Seriously, appreciate all the posts and views of the places you've been and listening to the communication of you and ATC.

[@timfreels7800]

I'm hook on your video's. Keep them coming...... Sean and John you guy's are the next dynamic duo.

[@nilslindenblad2282]

Lots of lakes/water holes on the approach into Orlando. Like the way ground made it easy and said just go ahead and taxi to your ramp. Nice way for me to spend 18:00...

[@flemingkiwi]

I was really surprised by how much I missed Francine this post! fantastic never the less.

[@RealRayLong]

I'm really enjoying your channel. A friend is a commercial pilot and your videos give me a better understanding of and appreciation for what she does. Keep 'em coming!

[@flyboybobio3431]

I love it. John doesn’t smile. Very serious. Lol. Looking forward to meeting the new gal. Very cute.

[@wherr5]

Glad to see your channel taking off (pun intended) . I saw a comment earlier on doing a background video on what inspired you to fly and what you like and don't like about the job. I second that comment! Keep up the great work on vlogs.

[@pablocruise678]

wherr5 - absolutely resume post !!!!

[@sevenhornets]

Fascinating all the VG's on the wing.

[@ILM787]

I think Shaun puts all of your smiles on the cutting room floor!

[@stevehofmaster7489]

You all have nice smiles,great video.We love to come along with you.

[@keithbotelho9189]

Great job guys having a great time watching

[@pablocruise678]

Hi guys and Layla... the two of you really work well together, truly enjoying your vids!!!

[@justsayin3784]

Another great vid! You guys are killin it with the subs. Congrats!

[@johnlamb3836]

Wow, you keep busy during ascent and descent. Two required to fly safely for sure. Love these videos.

[@tylerjohnson2480]

A landing like that would make me smile :).. Nicely done John! Great videos guys, keep them coming!

[@brianh6666]

Another GREAT video.... Thanks for taking us along..... ;)

[@wuihdab]

You guys are F'in AWESOME ! Sean and John , Keep Wow'ing us with your videos. Great lesson in extreme professionalism but lovely friendship as well. Stay Blessed.

[@speedypt]

I think both of you guys do an amazing job. The coordination and smooth transitions, and the cross-checks and constant verification of all actions. Awesome. Please keep these videos coming. Living vicariously through you guys is a lot of fun for us. Regards!

[@patrickmcdevitt9575]

John's awesome. Best pilot voice ever!!!!

[@celestialfix]

I really like the way Sean goes through the verbal checklist. I wonder if it could be turned into a poem?

[@gonzo222_3]

I love the smile commentary. I always thought Jon was just an all professional all the time type. I could only hope to one day be doing this! Great videos and fun to watch how a real crew works.

[@tylerdevereaux3863]

Thanks for including more of the cockpit video!

[@markblair6130]

Jon is the strong silent type.....loving your videos....keep up the good work! #bingewatching

[@tonyleonguerrero6665]

Sean, Jon, you gents ROCK! Superb team work! I really enjoy the professionalism of the video presentations. You guys really have a fun time.

[@Etxeba]

Yes!! Jon you need to smile more primo! :)

[@tuflyfree]

My new favorite !!! Crew involved or at least other episodes, with professionalism in the cockpit

[@robinraphaelriverapomales2184]

I'm really enjoying your channel. Why does John smile so much ? LoL; good work

[@mstrauch2352]

I was so one of those people that had misconceptions about John (Sorry John). As a new follower and subscriber my thoughts when watching my first few videos were "Man... that guy on the right (screen right) looks pissed, kind of like he's being dragged into these videos against his will..." - Then I watched more and realized I was wrong about John.... Would still love to hear more from him. Thanks for the great channel and allowing me to live vicariously though you guys. :)

[@George0956]

The DA-20 is a great little aircraft, feels like you've been crammed into a lunchbox though. Handles really well, move up the diamond aircraft to the DA-42 and its some real good fun

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Agreed...I've never flown the DA-20, but have a few hours in the DA-40, and about 300 hours in the DA-42. That thing is a great little machine.

[@donc9751]

Those DA Aircraft look really nice, and the DA42 must be a great aircraft to own, 4 seater if I remember. Watched sime videos of it being flown. Aft of cabin and tail remind me of gliders and the wings also but to a lessor degree. Do they have a great glide ratio? That thin little tail section is the only thing that worries me a little, I'd be a little concerned about its strength, being so tiny/thin. I'm sure the engineers have calculated the possibility of ot breaking out of the question though.

[@juliefrey8917]

John - good effort on smiling!

[@Catttrain]

One of your best vids so far! Short but sweet, everything I could ask for. Keep up the good work.

[@ericlozen9631]

Great Vid! A memory came back to me when you started with your descent check list. The anti-ice √ is what I focused on. I couldn't help but to think about the Air Florida flight (Palm 90) crash in January 1982. Ironically this flight was destined to Ft. Lauderdale. The crew didn't have too much experience in dealing with snow & ice. One of the main contributing factors of the crash was because the pilots failed to engage the engine anti-ice system.

[@wkdravenna]

6:30 Ahhhh the sport bike of the skys. Very nice :)

[@brianmcgee115]

Great service with a smile... finally lol. Well done gentlemen!

[@abelmeregote9079]

Great one guys, good memories at fxe at the old Banyan. Happy landings!

[@Ripper13F1V]

Love your CRM and how seemlesly yall work together. Keep on smiling!

[@williamcolley8478]

the diamond is a different plane you sit in it like a exotic car low and laid back. they are what I instruct in and its fun little plane.

[@freedombw]

Just keeps getting better and better! Loving the atc communications and checklists, keep it up guys!

[@easttexan2933]

Outstanding. love you interaction. hope you guys are friends away from the airport.

[@burundis40]

Great video, but honestly, the best is the lady in the jumpseat!!!

[@newby46]

JOHN SMILED!!! Several times , even.

[@aaronparr5002]

Thank you for sharing your videos. Fun to see the different locations. Aaron from KOGD.

[@arthurpearson3407]

Really enjoy your videos! I’m sure not all your flights go as smoothly as these depict. Keep them coming .👍

[@aeromission9333]

Just gave a thumbs up for the smile John gave us.

[@CnSFarms]

I literally laughed out loud when John shoved that mic boom in his nose. LOL!

[@richardkennett4141]

I was at Atlantic at MCO last week, saw that “WR” logo on a tail, thought I’d got lucky and get to run into you guys, but it was a Learjet. Maybe next time!

[@tedferkin]

Nice to see you smile John

[@campchairchris]

Ya great videos Jon! Really enjoy the site seeing, shooting and hiking between legs. I live about 8.5 miles north of TEB and also hike and camp Harriman State Park and the Catskills. Keep up the good work!

[@billgates.got.ripped6965]

you guys are lucky to have each other, you know in airliners it could be a new captain every day for a year before you get the same guy/girl.

[@donc9751]

Hi guys! Excellent video, as always! I know people always comment about Jon smiling or talking on camera, but Jon has a great smile and laugh, not to mention a beautiful wife! I'm sure he is a lot of fun to hang out with. Be cool to see it more, better still, Imagine a nice little suprise video where Jon intros the video about the flight and says a few words, even gave his background info, Can imagine what a great response he would get to that video! Maybe it will happen some time, he strikes me as he could enjoy a good suprise for folks. His comment was funny when Shaun said just before landing winds are calm so youre probably going to screw it up to which Jon replied "ya but I'll be smiling!" was great! That was an odd little noise from foreflight st 17:05! "Sink rate, sink rate...then strange little laugh like noise!"!! Odd but funny. Question, when Jon says "we picked up a little tail wind" on final, then a moment later you said "it's going away, down to 1 knot" Is it that green arrow on the PFD that shows direction of wind that you get that info? It must be incredibly sensitive, and have you found that wind direction indicator to be very accurate? Knowing how important wind direction is when landing from my days of flying paragliders, I have always wondered how you are able to determind wind direction and speed to set up for landing. Of course I'm sure ATC knows so sets up landing direction on runways for you. Seems a sudden strong tail wind on landing would require some quick throttle work to prevent stalling... Thanks for another great video and as always, happy flying and safe flights to the crew of Presidential 69!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thanks Don! You are correct about the arrow on the MFD being the wind direction. It is actually very accurate. The wind speed and direction is very important for the landings. We are allowed up to 10 knots of tailwind, but every little bit adds to how much runway we need to stop. On a runway that's already short like this one, we definitely prefer a good headwind.

[@Qazedca]

Hey Sean can you do a Q&A with you and John if he wants on when you started flight training, how long did it take you, why you chose to become a corporate pilot over commercial, your roster if you have one, what you expected being a pilot was like vs what it’s actually like. Just curious cuz I’m a student pilot (PPL) and curious. Thanks love the videos

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I'm actually working on a video as we speak covering all of those things

[@jhill4256]

Neat video. Would you specify which model / year Presidential 69 flies? JD

[@hikingwithtimlundy1075]

John the non smiling heavy breather! Nicely done guys

[@tylerdevereaux3863]

Loving this channel! Thanks guys, you do a great job

[@j.o.p.enforcementagency7931]

Yes lol john doesnt smile!! Good birthday laugh thanks for making this video. I love watching your videos.

[@dvirshany]

I love your channel!!! I am on my ATPL in Europe, the corporate is starting to really grow on me... Keep up the good work!

[@mikec9426]

You guys are a great team.

[@cmorgan559]

LOL, I was just thinking, Why John doesn't smile more? Then he brought it up, LOL. Smile

[@Milldog2023]

Hey john, you remind me of Llewelyn "Ponch" Poncherello from chips ! hehehe

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I just saw the pic you sent on FB...we both almost fell over walking down the street!

[@Milldog2023]

it had been on the tip of my tongue, and when john did a big smile it came to me. Poncherello !

[@campchairchris]

Thought the same thing! "Ponch" 🤣

[@gonzaloearchilas6952]

Its smiling !!!!! great Job guys love new F/A new face on the channel !!!!

[@davidC23333]

Like someone else said, not too sure how I found your videos. Glad I subscribed and really enjoy the videos.

[@Gingerhomeandgarden]

Jon has a beautiful 😍 smile.... love you guys together...

[@steveallen5496]

You guys are so excellent with ifr and communications. Thats the reason I remained vfr and lurked around in uncontrolled airspace. I was ok with class d unless it was inside a B. I avoided moas too because military controllers often garbled

[@AceYYC]

First time watching you guys... instant subscribe. Nice work.

[@Zapattack321]

So glad I found this channel! Have you boys ever flown into The Aurora (Illinois) airport? About 40 miles west of Chicago. I have a good friend who flies for United....he's been with them north of 30 years and just transitioned from flying mainly domestic routes in an A319 to now finishing out his career flying int'l routes in a triple 7. I'd love to have a beer or two with all 3 of you and listen to some war stories! 👍

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Can't say I've ever been there...maybe someday though!

[@Malcolmpda2]

Heard you guys on freq at KOPF last week!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Sweet! Should have said hello...I had the cameras rolling.

[@tjsteele513]

Love your videos.. Thinking about taking lessons at our local community airport in Cameron Park CA.. Your videos are a great motivation.. Thank you..

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I highly recommend it!

[@tjsteele513]

Corporate Pilot Life Any advice on where to start? What was your path?? I’m retired (54yrs old) and would love to pick up my own aircraft someday..

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Start with a Discovery Flight and find a good Flight Instructor...take it day by day and see if you like it!

[@jerrykorman7770]

I still believe this is my favourite episode Jon: “am I like an angry person?” Shaun: “yeah, you are” Jon: “no! I’m not an angry person” This would have been comedy gold on the Carol Burnett Show

[@waukeshapilot6462]

Great as always. Love the audio quality. Is It A Few Days From Now Yet?????????

[@keithmiller1314]

Another great video guys. Thanks. Heard a term not heard before. I believe it was “cowling wing”?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think you may have heard "cowl and wing" referring to the anti-ice heat system for those surfaces.

[@keithmiller1314]

Ok, could be. Thank you!

[@fojoman69]

HI guys, love the videos. Just found your channel a couple weeks ago and don't know if this has been asked in any of the others but was wondering if G-IV has a flight recorder or data recorder in it? I live in Delray Beach and used to fly also but MS kinda took me out of the flying business. Keep up with the great videos.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We do have a flight recorder in the G-IV

[@mikeroads4807]

John smiles plenty of times!

[@gregizzo8349]

Thanks John for making the effort! :)

[@bullfrog8873]

Sean, when you say "do you want me to clean it up" what exactly are you doing? Love watching you guys fly by the way!!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That means to retract the flaps and stow the ground spoilers. The sudden draw on the hydraulic system for these can sometimes cause a short loss of pressure to the brakes and steering, so we always ask before doing that.

[@audioentertainment]

John - I feel you - I am a happy guy and I think I am smiling huge, and It looks like I'm pissed.

[@Adonis4539]

Cool nerds... Pilots... times have changed.. they have the coolest job...

[@k1mgy]

That HOLD call just before reaching 80 Kts... interesting. I'm guessing the intent is to call a phase of the takeoff roll. ?? What's the purpose of that call? I love the procedures and how you two work well together.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

The auto-throttles go into hold mode at 60 knots, even if takeoff power isn't achieved. So we're just verifying that the power is where it should be when it goes into hold mode

[@eddierodriguez6228]

Good job John, finally we get a smile from u 🌝🌝🌝

[@propjockeyaviation2164]

Love the channel, guys! Keep the uploads coming! 👍👍

[@josephbaldino6253]

Utmost professionals! You can tell that you both love what you do! Remember, it's not work if you love what you do. Keep em coming. Who's the new face?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you! She gets an intro on the upcoming video...

[@darryldarling4880]

Nice, safe travels.

[@donwilson4618]

I know this is an old video, thought I would post anyway. At 7:00 we finally get a peek at some passengers in reflection off panel camera left of wife. Just thought I'd sneak that in. :)

[@ralphwoodard609]

OK John, this is for you. Smile and I would like to see you give up the left seat for a couple of flights. I also noticed you have a temporary stewardess with you. Safe flying.

[@alanpeterson2160]

Another fun video. As I watch you guys fly this beautiful, fast airplane, do you still do any other flying for pleasure... such as light aircraft ? Most pilots who are as busy as you are would say no, thank you, they get all the flying they want through work. :)

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I actually do from time to time. A good friend of mine owns a few smaller planes that I go flying every now and then.

[@davidmiller2179]

Your video's are really great best I have seen on aircraft thanks guys keep it up!!!

[@tomh6779]

SMOOTH!! Nice landing! Does that bird have reverse thrust?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Yep...both engines

[@sergiosauceda9836]

it´s nice to finally see you laughing John . . !!

[@ericschout8058]

as usual a great video. thanks for sharing!

[@fernandom9220]

Love your guys videos great cockpit chemistry. John remember 😁😁😁

[@gpiccolli]

Great videos keep up the good work! Watching from Brazil!!

[@richardfish413]

Perhaps John needs an "autosmile" setting?🤣

[@UncleEarl97]

Something to add to the checklists... although many times I've had the Autosmile turned on at work, and I get friendly smiles in return, but in public, well sometimes other people don't smile back and probably wonder why I'm smiling! lol.

[@jhill4071]

a good landing is one where the crew and passengers walk away. A great landing is one where the plane can be flown again.

[@dabuya]

John’s not smiling? I found that comment hilarious, considering that your beautiful flight attendant was sitting between you two. I didn’t notice. Just saying! Besides, John is just being a professional captain. You guys are a great crew and an inspiration to all of us single engine piston flyers to step-up our cockpit awareness. Thank you for posting these videos!

[@lesismore9213]

You guys are total Boss !

[@Intruder730]

I “was” about to ask...... but will patiently wait.
