In Flight Emergency Flying Over The Gulf of Mexico? Continue Or Turn Back? = Time Points

[@timaxelrod2336]

The professionalism of your flying is inspiring! The consistency and thoroughness of your checklist use has made me improve my own. When I see you check the controls free and correct I'm often reminded of the 2014 Gulfstream crash that occurred because the crew didn't bother to check that and ran off the end of the runway with the gust lock engaged.

[@steveo1kinevo]

Crazy! I just posted a video flying into Cancun today! lol Enjoyed your Part 1

[@IllFlyIt]

Haha thanks for watching my click bait video! Enjoyed yours as well. I’m jealous we couldn’t stay. You know how to live it up man!

[@THELIFEOFPRICE]

Excellent video man hoping you get the camera back on , on some of them southwest flights =D

[@mllflying]

Great job Lori!! It is great to see you in the left seat. I sure miss you and everyone else and of course flying the 300.

[@leeCann]

Really enjoy your Vlogs. Very informative, both checks, ATC read back sketched, waypoint mapping / routing. True professional pilots and pretty darn good vid productions. You put hours into each 'production'. I wanted to say thanks. Looking forward to part two !

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks for the kind words! Honestly, this whole KZbin thing has turned into a lot more than I thought it would. I love all aspects of it from filming, editing, to reading the comments and answering questions. Part two should be up tomorrow.

[@brianmcgee115]

I love seeing the comments from other aviation utubers, greatness!

[@buckbuchanan5849]

Fantastic editing, and different camera views! Love throwing the checklist up on the sidebar, very cool.

[@keepingupwiththejoneses1144]

I liked that part to.

[@JJBensDad42]

Nice to see Hobby on here! I go and watch planes there a lot!

[@maqen]

Love the idea of showing the checklist! More easy the follow flow when hard to hear because of audio.

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks, I got the idea from another viewer and I think it adds a lot of value as well.

[@Arcadia_Olive-Oil_Farms]

Cabin Alt. at FL410 5.700 ft Nicely done Embraer!!!!!!!

[@alanpeterson2160]

Thanks for taking us along !

[@benakay]

Nice video. Can't wait for Part II. Capt. Lori seems very cool. Warm regards to her. Cheers.

[@donjohnston3776]

Great video in terms of conveying the workload & aspects of professionalism. This would be a great tool to use with students or the like contemplating piloting as a career.

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks Don! Hopefully aspiring pilots out there can see what real world flying is like. Becoming a pilot was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

[@mikerigsby5518]

Very Professional cockpit.

[@aviationmayhem]

Click Bait, you worded the heading implying you had the emergency

[@IllFlyIt]

Yeah, after reading it a few more times I can see how it can be interpreted that way. My apologies for the click bait.

[@aviationmayhem]

Ah no bother good video all the same.

[@icemon44]

I agree

[@MadSocial]

Yeah, I was disappointed to see it was click bait. I would have watched your video either way, but that just makes me not want to pay attention to your channel anymore. Just post good content, like you always do, but give an honest title. Thanks for listening. Cheers!

[@Aero360Aviation]

Agreed.....

[@adriangpop]

Silly question, why are the below 80kts calls "Abort"? all the B727/A320 time in the UK over 30 years we used the word "Stop" or "Go" if the failure was after V1. It seems to me less syllables would be better. I am just curious. I'm a fan of your videos too.

[@XACMF]

Looking forward for the second part !

[@billinga]

Excellent video!! Really enjoyed the inserts and live comms. Stay safe!!

[@davidwarkentin9848]

nice video. well done.

[@dennypm113]

I enjoyed your video, keep up the great work, looking forward to your next one.

[@mikeblackford994]

New to your channel. Enjoy all the tech and actual IFR.

[@paultaylor9939]

Good job guys many thanks

[@likenship]

22:14 "Shitter was full!"

[@IllFlyIt]

Haha 🤣

[@mikercflyer7383]

As a none pilot I thoroughly enjoyed the video.

[@rejeanrobichaud]

Thanks Capt Jess and Capt Lori for the Informative Flight . Reg The Canadian Guy .

[@BillUtah]

Great video! Love the detail. Thanks for the video

[@pauloestevam3462]

Congrats Jesse! Very professional pilot.

[@yanniaviation8087]

If I would to retitle this, it would be "Over the radio, inflight emergency? Returning to Houston" You're videos are awesome and love watching them. You have no reason to make a "Click Bait" thumbnail. At the beginning, it seemed that Capt. Lori had the hiccups. Am I correct? Again, love your vids. Learning allot.

[@TheLeoojedap]

Im hooked with your videos, Loved the way you present them, when I watch them on my phone the transcript for clearance is kinda small though. Thanks for all the hard work in this, specially the post production,

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks for the feedback. I didn't consider it being so small on phones. I'll remember this for future videos. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@dam4274]

Embraer Phenom 300? Just saw that plane in another video.

[@halhirsch3606]

Good show, Hal.

[@AliveWithPassion]

@JesseFlies How do you guys charge the iPads inflight? Does the Phenom have USBs or a traditional plug in the cockpit?

[@bobninemire6859]

Really like what your doing in all your vids. This one even better with all the close up's of the panel and yoke. In this one though you are using the call sign of the aircraft instead of Air Shares. Was this due to a type of mission ? Thanks (And Hi) to Captain Lori too. I know the ladies are a small segment of this industry and always good to see them fulfill there passion in aviation.

[@IllFlyIt]

When we fly international we use the N# of the aircraft. From what I’ve been told, Mexico doesn’t understand what fractional 91K is. You’re either a commercial operator or private. For this reason we fly internationally part 91 using the N#. Thanks for the great question! Lori is awesome, she’s one of my best friends who I look forward to flying with every time.

[@jfelipe1987]

Awesome video. More please

[@likenship]

Sorry if you have already answered the following question but I just started watching your videos and haven't watched all of them. How does the company you work for decide who is PIC and who is SIC? Great videos, keep up the good work!

[@IllFlyIt]

Usually if 2 captains for flying the most senior will be the PIC. Thanks!

[@ciibladeworks-carterhopkin6123]

Who is the senior capt.....more hours / more hours in type / or time at company? Great channel and vids!

[@Poseidon6363]

Another day at the office, great vid.

[@dpm-jt8rj]

I guess I always assumed over the Gulf was positive control airspace. Either ZHU or ZMA.

[@keepingupwiththejoneses1144]

Great video. When they declare an emergency having to cut their flight plan short, what do they do with the extra fuel if they cant dump enough before they reach the closest airport?

[@squishmeplzz]

Great video! Awesome quality as always!

[@210Driver]

Love the videos. Keep them coming! Question: I've noticed that your crew doesn't engage autopilot until quite a ways. Is there a reason for that? I expected that aircraft to be flying on NAV pretty much after rotating

[@ThorNjord]

Awesome videos thanks so much for producing and sharing them! Quick suggestion. Maybe it’s possible, without adding to your current setup, to record a pilot’s voice only track? That way you could lower ATC volume when you are talking because sometimes I just can’t make out what you are saying.

[@IllFlyIt]

I used to record separately but this problem still persists. The Phenom’s radios don’t have a very strong side tone. That’s how you hear yourself when talking. Some are better than others thought. One option I’ve considered is using another Nflightcam cable to record on a second GoPro. Then I’d I have 2 audio tracks that I could mix and blend for better quality. Thanks for the suggestion and for watching!

[@sinisabaa]

Awesome!

[@aviationequip]

Hello Captain, could you send me a Phenom checklist, a PDF file maybe?

[@txav8tion]

another great video! good stuff sir.

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks!

[@janaaj1an889]

Do you take the right seat because you're a lefty? (all those buttons!)

[@tawmack]

Well done.

[@JTDriven]

Great video! What kind of anti-ice if any does the phenom have? Thanks!

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks for the feedback! The Phenom 300 has thermally heated leading edges (hot wing). The heat is supplied from the engine bleed air. It works very well.

[@JTDriven]

very cool!

[@Fpulz]

Another great video!

[@julianmeneses4083]

Nice!

[@bonniemoerdyk9809]

All the extra chatter between ATC and other planes would drive me nuts!

[@albird87]

Why would use not use Merida also for an engine/decomp alternate? wouldn't it be closer than Cancun? Also why use HOU for the return instead of GLS/BPT? Especially as they are closer to land from HOU. Just curious as always, would think the closest usable airport would be used for ETPs

[@IllFlyIt]

That’s a good question. We use a handler to compute the ETP’s and they seem to always choose HOU/MMUN as the alternates for crossing the Gulf. If we go out over New Orleans then they’ll use MSY. I’m thinking it’s putting priority on airports that are equipped for international arrivals (aka customs available 24/7) and that are closest to the course flown.

[@keepingupwiththejoneses1144]

albird87, I noticed that too. Why do they go back to Houston. Is it the size of the aircraft they are in. I know they use a smaller airport when international flights have an emergency they'll use the closet airport to land. Just curious.

[@jimbeck3230]

Couldn’t you have put these go/return points into the system before takeoff? Just asking.

[@IllFlyIt]

Thanks for the question Jim. You’re correct, we could have had them loaded prior to departure. We don’t have a set procedure on when to do them. The only requirement is that they are loaded and displayed. I liked doing them while in cruise if I have time because it helps to pass some time and confirm the inputs with the other pilot. Thanks for the question.

[@delkwilsonjr]

Did you happen to find out what the smell was?

[@IllFlyIt]

I never did hear what it actually was.

[@andrewhontz3327]

Does that Phenom not have a button for the radio on the yoke? At least on the FO side?

[@semperflyer797]

it's the button that is marked "PTT" push to talk

[@andrewhontz3327]

Was looking like he's using a button on the glare shield instead

[@semperflyer797]

most jets do have a PTT button on the dash so that the pilot flying isn't fighting the pilot monitoring, who usually runs the radios and the checklist, for control of the yoke when they're flying by hand. that's why you see him using the one not located on the yoke while she's flying the plane.

[@andrewhontz3327]

Ahhh great point, thank you! Feels like most videos I've watched of two-pilot ops, the PM just uses the yoke button.

[@Breenild]

Which aircraft type ist this? And what's the WINGSTAB switch for?

[@IllFlyIt]

Phenom 300. The WingStab switch turns on/off the wings and horizontal stabilizer anti-icing.

[@tomaseduardonaranjotellez456]

Videos are great, its just that the title is so misleading, im unfortunately never coming back because of the uncertainity about the content.

[@keepingupwiththejoneses1144]

I love watching the videos. I have a question for anyone. I live in Tulsa Ok. Does anyone know of any pilots that would be able to fly me to and from either Dallas Love/DFW or Chicago as an empty leg flight? I would still comp for helping.

[@Steve-ev6ow]

How much does it cost to rent a life raft?

[@IllFlyIt]

I think this one was $60/day which is reasonable. If we had to fly near the coast it would have added a significant amount of time and extra fuel.

[@Steve-ev6ow]

JesseFlies Thanks - FANTASTIC VIDS!

[@BlueCollarBachelor]

How much does it cost if you use the raft?

[@franciscom431]

Should have pointed the cams at the dashboard instead of at your face..

[@MrKenrwi]

Proof pilots don’t get rich flying, a aluminum Apple Watch with the rubber band 😜 nice vids BTW 👍

[@IllFlyIt]

Haha thank you

[@billymcmillin3339]

It doesn't look like Captain Lori has to deal with any Texas mosquitoes, "eating her alive" this trip 😁

[@MiggsG]

click bait....

[@IllFlyIt]

Yes I agree the title wasn’t clear. I’ve changed it to make it more accurate. I appreciate the honesty, thank you 😊

[@socomon69]

How many times did you slam the yolk into each other's knees before adding "watch your knees" as a warning before checking the flight controls? :) That sounds like one of those items born out of painful experience.

[@IllFlyIt]

That’s day 1 of the type rating, yoke/knee clearance 🤣
