The information produced by your channel and others is invaluable. I spent over 20 years going in and out of remote camps and the pilots were our lifeline. I always wanted to learn to fly but had some issues that prohibited it. I watch the videos and testimonials and recommend any person wanting to enter aviation watch as many hours of these platforms as they can it may save your life as well as any passengers or someone on the ground. Thank you all for sharing.

[@garywheeler2055]

Just found this site, wow.... as a low time new pilot it’s a great learning spot to come. Keep the episodes coming please and thanks. 🍺

[@triedandtestedfitness9139]

Go Christy! Great job!! Excited see your next episode!

[@daviddepingre7214]

Great job guys, keep 'em coming!

[@WorldTravelerCooking]

Great discussion with great advice.

[@miltonbrinson5874]

Great video. Thank you. No telling how many lives you are saving by talking about this.

[@techcommandosinc4147]

Outstanding. Really well done, I enjoyed it. Keep me coming. 😀😀😀😀

[@tailwindtravels8905]

Great Stuff! Thank you!

[@corvairchris82]

Very informative, very well presented. While I was a student pilot, on a solo cross country flight I landed in Ardmore Oklahoma, jumped back in the C150 and begin to fly back to Addison Texas, on climb out making my crosswind turn I swear I was hit by another airplane, it sounded just like you would imagine what a propeller ripping thru a fuselage would sound like, after 2 seconds of pure terror I realized I was still flying but that sound was still there. I turned to downwind and the sound reduced, I continued back to the airport and landed safely. Once on the ground I found the co-pilots seat belt hanging out of the cabin door. I guess when I was on the ground I reached in the the co-pilots door to grab my log book to get signed at the FBO and pulled the belt out the door. Being a student pilot and having just landed a perfectly good flying airplane 5 minutes prior to my departure I did not do a walk around. I know now my bad. But I have to thank my instructor and his training, stop, think, assess the situation, the airplane was still flying, no need to panic, what do you do next, get on the ground as soon as possible. If you have never had a seat belt banging on the outside of your aircraft I'm hear to tell you it is a real attention getter.

[@MichaelLloyd]

Wow... that was intense. I'm glad that I subscribed

[@TechnoMayor]

Very nicely done! When I saw it was 25+ minutes long I thought I'd probably watch it in two segments. It kept my attention and after 25 minutes, I wanted more. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@TakingOff]

I really appreciate the feedback. It's something I thought long and hard about.

[@zappatx]

There are some great books on emergencies. When I get home I'll post one title here that you will find interesting.

[@GreatGooglyMoogli]

@@zappatx did you ever make it home

[@alvarolau-camarena3683]

Good stuff keep it coming

[@werrieshorne6929]

Absolutely very informative even years after being posted. Thank you

[@TakingOff]

Thanks!

[@brianb5594]

Great discussion! You always have to be thinking what if, and what’s next. In the Cirrus I always keep #2 GPS on nearest airport when in cruise. The Foreflight glide distance ring is also a good reference for deciding if I could make the nearest field, or need to pull the chute. Great channel BTW! Looking forward to more videos.

[@TakingOff]

Same here. In my plane, I have an old Garmin 496 I keep tuned to Nearest (primary is a 430W). And I also use ForeFlight with the glide slope.

[@luvflyin3749]

I've never had an emergency flying but have worked many as a controller. Really enjoyed this. Good food for thought and reminders.

[@TakingOff]

Thanks! We will also have an episode with some ATC people.

[@randalldevalcourt4000]

Excellent video!! Great conversations on one issue with the same outcome---fly the airplane!!

[@iesikhaty]

Fantastic discussion; great episode

[@TakingOff]

It was great hearing from these pilots.

[@brentjohnson6654]

Taking Off yes for sure. Great discussion

[@dlouque]

Enjoyed this video. I experienced my only engine failure picking up a Cessna 182 in New Brunfells . All the training and practice I did over the years paid off. I was at 100' when I blew #5 cylinder, and I was able to put it down before the end of the runway. No matter what happens remember to fly the plane. I also was involve in a double engine failure in the Navy while we were landing in Rota, Spain. I was just a crewman at that time before I got a pilots license.

[@TakingOff]

Thanks for sharing the story Darrell! Glad the engine failure worked out (and you had enough runway left).

[@tomtillett9309]

Confusion between "Declaring an emergency" and "Pilots use of Emergency Authority" (the latter does require paperwork) is an interesting discussion for you to address...

[@howtimflies204]

Was that Beach 18 at Hicks for a while. It is beautiful.

[@okieflyerredneckpilot6580]

What? No aeronautical chart yoga pants, Christy? Nice first episode. Looking forward to the next.

[@edissonsgorbans6777]

Love you guys! You should really think of podcast aviation radio. I'll be the first to subscribe.

[@ozziepilot2899]

Looking forward to your next episode.

[@TakingOff]

Thanks Paul-- next one is dropping tomorrow. Interview with a couple of air traffic controllers.

[@ozziepilot2899]

Looking forward to it , thank you.

[@edsegar]

The guy talking about not worrying about the airplane, just make sure you can walk away from the landing, reminds me of a saying we had in Army Aviation, “Any landing you can walk away from is a good one, if you can reuse the aircraft after it, it’s a really good landing!!!”

[@drumhd1]

The taxi of shame haha!

[@AdabAbu]

How did I find this only today

[@FreedomfixerFlying]

Aviation is a small world! I'm listening to this story of a crippled twin beech landing at an airport that was recently repaved and no marking thinking, no way! This is that twin beech that landed after I did. After making the discussion to call it a day because Oshkosh went IFR, Iwas trying to find someplace to stay the night. I heard someone say, There a twin with a engine out getting ready to land. Seems like everybody was there. A DC-3 showed up and I just missed the Flying Cowboys from UT to enclude Drakco the fire breathing Wilga. We were 90 miles from KOSH, and we had our own airshow/fly-in. Travis fixed the control problem on that motor and I watched him do his test flight the next day.

[@TakingOff]

Wow! Small world indeed.

[@IllFlyIt]

Good stuff!

[@terryrutherford2114]

I first saw the lovely Christie on Flying Doodles with her Wong Warrior. Please tell how she became a host on Taking Off. I love it.

[@TakingOff]

Actually, Christy and I started doing the In The Hangar just before she did the flight with Bobby.

[@terryrutherford2114]

@@TakingOff Love this Vlog flying community. Yes, I'm following all of them, I think. Haha. Thanks! SteveO got me into sailing the vagabong now I'm hooked on sailing vids. FYI about me, PP SEL in 2001, have not flown since 2007, waiting on my med from FAA OK and am considering buying a Cardinal. Yes I will get with a CFI for much needed remedial training. I love your Centurion too. Keep up the great productions!

[@brentjohnson6654]

Great video. I was an active GA pilot until my children came along. I still flew in the back of airplanes as a contractor with a class 3 medical. Also I was required to have an active altitude chamber training. This was something that really opened my eyes to my hypoxic symptoms. I think GA pilots flirt with Hypoxia more than airline or military pilots since they fly at 10,000 - 12,000 feet or I did anyway. I think all GA pilots should go for altitude chamber training (The FAA offers it for free but you have to get to Oklahoma City). Thanks for the discussion! I would love to have a channel that discusses this. Thanks for the great content. New subscriber here!

[@TakingOff]

Thanks for the comments Brent. That's real interesting about the Altitude Chamber training. Will look into that.

[@in2flying]

Really well done! I’d love to know what problem the guy had with what Sully did. It was sort of a back handed compliment.

[@charlesrussek7118]

I think he was trying to say it wasn’t the best example for the situation but i can also see how it may seem like a backhanded compliment. There are some great videos by Sully’s FO Jeff Skiles that are really great. Look for one about 45 minutes long where he gives “a jump seat view”. There are view he has given same talk more than once.

[@ryanmcfarland6086]

There are new airports opening? That's honestly surprising. What's the name? :)

[@depotshredder6938]

There seems to be a frame rate issue starting around 1:05

[@depotshredder6938]

Travis’s shots are fine, it seems

[@TakingOff]

Yeah you're right, just checked the original file. Seems like something happened in the export. I"m going to check future files before upload.

[@depotshredder6938]

Ignoring the frame rate issue, thanks for the great, informative video! FYI, it looks like Christy’s shots are fine as well.

[@TakingOff]

I knew in editing I might have an issue. It's a camera set on wrong frame rate issue.

[@outwiththem]

13:20 500 feet Possible Impossible Turn. Made it to grass part of a runway,.. Good pilot only can do that..

[@melvinelder3587]

He was talking about the Qantas flight and he said they forgot to fly the plane but that's not true they did a GREAT job flying the plane there entire hydruolic failure they had no autopilot they had no control surfaces for a long time and they had no idea what was going on because the entire electric system went down and they had to manually calculate the fuel and if they could land and they were actually too heavy and they landed with basically no controls and no help from the planes systems and super heavy,. I just wanted to correct him because I don't want people thinking the pilots were at fault because they were some amazing pilots also the first officer was brand new and he did exactly what he was supposed to do

[@TakingOff]

Thanks for the clarification.

[@richleo1693]

Millikan interrupts a guy in middle lof sentence

[@TakingOff]

Yeah, he's such a loser. I will say though, he realized how correct you are and by episode 100, interrupts a little less.

[@tropicthndr]

Read the “killing zone” before you read any other aviation guide, then read it again after you have read all the other stupid stuff out there.

[@UBrickIFix]

Great book. I've learned so much from it.

[@mikemaloney5830]

I lost 20” of a fixed pitch prop while towing a banner over a city. Engine tore itself to pieces and broke from three mounts. Now there’s a story!

[@winiesttub6886]

Whats with the choppy ass 20 fps video

[@bobcrone6151]

Zzz.
