IFR Aerostar flight in the flight levels on a beautiful day.

Had an opportunity to ferry another Aerostar N36460 from Denver Metro to Coeur d Alene. This is part 1 of the trip from Rocky Mountain to Billings. It is for sale at www.AerostarAircraft.com for anyone interested. The scenery was outstanding with all the snow on the ground. The wind was blowing pretty hard at Billings and it was COLD.

Eric we ALL make mistakes and I like your attitude. We only improve by trying to be better at the things we do. Keep up the good work!

[@AerostarPilot]

Thank you. A good friend of mine who is a retired Boeing production test pilot and air force f-16 fighter pilot once told me there is no such thing as a perfect flight and if anyone says they have had one, they are lying :). All we can do is keep trying and learning.

[@gendaminoru3195]

@@AerostarPilot I have a similar friend [FTE] from McDonnell Douglas / Boeing who says the same thing and the Boeing Alteon instructors made sure I never had a perfect flight. PS. what were you calling your mistake? Landing on the leeward gear first instead of the upwind gear in the crosswind? Or landing long..,...

I just love to see you start them engines up CORRECTLY !

[@ivaniuk123]

I'd love to own an Aerostar!!!!

[@Shandakel]

Eric, Just watched the jimmy's world video and browsed over to your channel. Im absolutely in love with the Aerostar and its' capabilities. I looked up this aircraft and its located at my local airport. Are you located out west or here in the east coast?

[@AerostarPilot]

Hi Shane, I am located at KPAE. West Coast

[@skipmaloney2126]

Thanks Eric.

[@SeanPGribbons]

Very cool I’m an agent here in Denver too! Small world

[@NeonsStyleHD]

Much better Camera position. Your best video yet. More like this please. Would also be nice to know where you're flying for those of us not familiar with the USA. ie Denver, Colorado to....

[@occyman]

@RP there are alot of self proclaimed experts who have zero experience in Aerostars but they still give their opinion. As long as you have a decent amount of experience, get good conversion training and stay current there is no reason you can’t be safe and enjoy this incredible aircraft.

[@christopherolsen113]

But would you agree that an Aerostar could be safe for a first-time twin owner? My plane partner and I have a Bo (and he has a Tiger). We each have about 1,000 hours with instrument rating. I've got about 25 hours in twin training. We were recently told by an Aerostar instructor that we should own/fly either a Barron or a 310 before going to the Aerostar. His opinion was that to go right to an Aerostar would be too dangerous.

[@occyman]

@@christopherolsen113 Hey Chris - good question. Its a little difficult to put a blanket statement down because everyone is different but I would be conservative and say the Aerostar is not at all for low time multi pilots. Its good to see you have a nice solid base to build from though.

[@crb703]

Miss flying the aerostar. Several hundred hours, charter mostly passengers, they love it too.

[@visarma9673]

The pilots of that jet sitting on the left before taking the runway were saying…. “I wish I was flying that!”.

[@craigbmm4675]

lol , yeeah

[@raynmanfortysix]

Got a few hundred hours in a new 1977 601P. Great airplane.

[@rogersmart1766]

You do very well btw? I am a GA critic and you do it all well Eric.

[@craigbmm4675]

nice landing in a cross wind .. my last name is Billings :)

[@v1rotait23]

Just found this video today in my feed. I love Eric's Aerostar videos, and love your comment re your name, Craig Billings! - My adult daughter is named "Montana-Rose", so we're definitely in the right state for this Aerostar video! Cheers from New Zealand, David 😁

[@williambutler2177]

Beautiful flight, great crosswind landing. Makes me ponder if I should change careers to afford such a nice capable plane. Just kidding, I'm horrible at sales.

[@yesode4201]

Real estate you don’t need to be good at sales just open the door and tell them that you have 3 more people waiting!

[@ParapenteAngola]

it looks like Trent Palmer intro... cool

where did you get the thumbnail? lol.. im confused

Sorry to admit that was a bit of click bait which I rarely do. N91VK. Watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3ivcmiEj9Oemqc

Great video, always lusted after Aerostars, but been cautioned by self-proclaimed gurus of Aviation to stay away from the "fast and slippery" birds. Have ample time and experience, maybe need the right mentor to set me in the right plane with proper initial and recurrent training? Thanks for posting, will follow to see other Aerostar adventures!

[@johnhigh2187]

What is the rectangular panel in front of the pilot? also, what was the landing speed? it looked really fast. thanks for the video!

[@bobninemire5154]

I believe the square piece on the windscreen is for keeping it clear of ice. Warms up. Looks to me like 100 Knots (115 MPH) on the landing speed.

[@AerostarPilot]

The rectangular panel is a hot plate. This is one of the requirements for Flight Into Known Icing (FIKI) conditions. Normal landing in this airplane is 100 kts over the fence. A little slower for shorter fields. Touch down is typically about 85kts. Wing loading is quite high and the speeds are similar to the smeller biz jets.

Eric, I see you flying solo in a number of different aerostars. How does that happan? Just currious

Ferry flights to and from Aerostar Aircraft.

[@rfriesen1644]

The panel photo shown for this video is not from the aircraft flown on this flight. Is there a video for that?

[@AerostarPilot]

There is, just have not edited it yet.

Back in the 90's leaving Cold Bay AK for Fairbanks AK in the dark, I took a Navajo Chieftain to 23K, mostly because Mt McKinley was between me and Home, never used any supplement oxygen and never had any problems

[@igclapp]

Cabin altitude was 23k???

[@Heli4213]

Great video, but believe me, no pilot wants the music we want to hear the airplane..

What is generally Vr?
