Jet engine start explained, Florida Thunderstorms andmy barking dog

[@WatDaMattaForYou]

At the end of this video you said "thanks for riding along." I would like to say thanks for bringing us along, and thanks for your service to our country.

[@gregmink]

Thank you!

[@ronpalmer2u]

I'm an 82 year old instrument rated private pilot. Can't fly anymore. Your videos are helping my memory by remembering the ATC instructions. Great flying with you on your videos. Thank you

[@parkermen]

Mike, I am sure enjoying your videos especially after today! After you departed TYQ and was ascending thru ZID airspace you came in contact with a young lady controller on freq 133.05. My heart jumped as that young lady happens to be my daughter whom I never heard on the radio except on one of her training recordings. It gave me goosebumps! I verified the freq with her as the one she works and she said she recognized your Premier's call-sign. Thank you for all the videos that you have posted!

[@gregmink]

Oh, that is very cool! I am glad you got to hear her!

[@jimmykosko]

You make it look so easy. Obviously it’s not. It’s a testament to your experience and truly a professional pilot. I don’t think I am exaggerating when I say you have some of the best videos out there.

[@onemercilessming1342]

"We're only 50 minutes behind schedule" made me laugh a bit and brought up a sort-of (not quite) related memory. When I was in the US Navy, I debated taking a MAC flight as close to back home as I could and then a MAC flight back to Quantico (yes, I was on a Marine base). A US Navy Captain in one of the nearby offices overheard my conversation and came to my cubicle to advise me to take a MAC home, but come back to duty on a commercial flight as MAC flights weren't quite like commercial airliners. He asked me if I knew what MAC stood for. I replied, Military Airlift Command. He said, "Nope. Maybe Airplane Come."

[@froggie6608]

Damn, you actually got a genuine belly laugh out of me with that one. Thanks for the grins. I was in the Air Force back in the 60s, totally got it!

[@onemercilessming1342]

froggie6608--Thank you for the kind words. I am forever in that Navy Captain's debt for good advice.

[@myckee]

Yup, that sounds about right!!

[@RHCorbett]

At 1:04:42, you are over the Estuaries, between Fort Myers Beach and the mainland...the road you see dead ending is Winkler Road...I live about 3 miles north just west off that road...I used to take my 4 wheel drive jeep all over that land until the state took it over....the big development just to the left (west) is Lexington, my buddy developed that....you will soon be flying over Mullock Creek Marina, which is a cool back water fishing camp built in 1929....love these videos!!!!

[@eddiet6630]

Thanks Greg for showing us your dog. They do give us a lot of love. At first I was not a fan of dog but my rescue dog chage me that perception towards them. It's incredible how weather change.

[@heavysighs]

Excellent video. ZDC Controller here again. I've been a controller since 1984. Phraseology is the one thing I harp on when instructing. I also work a lot with Safety Risk Management. At 28:25 into the video an excellent point is made. As I tell so many controllers and pilots. The 8 most dangerous numbers in ATC are : 250/260/270/280/290/300/310/320. Why you ask? Because all of those numbers are commonly used for Speeds, Headings, and Altitudes. I remember a day near Washington, DC when an AIr France B777-200 was given 300 knots for departure spacing. He read back, "Three Zero Zero, Roger, AFR029." The controller moved on as he was busy. As The B777 left FL230 (their assigned altitude) the TCAS went off with a F900 at FL240 going to KTEB. Long story short, We all need to use the words, "Knots, or Flight Level, or Heading" especially with those 8 dangerous numbers.

[@gregmink]

Awesome comment Brian.

[@speedbird8326]

Agree Brian. Airline pilot with 16,000 + hours here. In Australia, we are quite strict with our ATC phraseology for exactly the reasons you cite. I notice many US airlines in Australian airspace not using "Flight Level 280" and instead using "280" and I wonder if they understand the implications of lax RT technique.

[@minecraftwtihclay]

Any tips for private guys headed to the commercial level?

[@speedbird8326]

Hello Clay, I can only comment in relation to the Australian scene. First, if you can pass the entry requirements, and pass the flying course, I can not recommend highly enough military flying training. I joined the RAAF and the training was first class. No question. This leads to significant experience on anything from the F18 SuperHornet, F35 (soon), Hawk trainer, B737 AWACS, A330 Tanker, P8 (B737) maritime patrol, C130 Hercules VIP fleet etc etc. This stands you in excellent stead for a position with the airlines after you complete your obligation. Second, if you want the civilian route, you need to get your initial commercial training and then gain some twin time through General Aviation operations. After 500-1500 hours then you are in a good position for an entry airline position. The vocation you are embarking on is difficult, but incredibly rewarding. Make no mistake. Be diligent, conscientious, thorough, tenacious and honest and you will succeed. Best of luck young man.

[@cameronwick]

Wow what an excellent insight. I am only a simmer now, but I have every intention of making flying a career. To that end I pick up any and everything I can that is so useful it sticks. Things that even pilots with lots of hours sometimes neglect. Things like if you a re VFR stay 90% eyes outside...and things like what you said above. Now in all my simming and training I will remember to include Knots, Flight Level, or Heading when reading back. Thanks!

[@superdavefan6669]

I really appreciate these videos. They are very well done and soothing in a way as well as informative - Thank you for taking the time to create them.

[@gregmink]

ATC audio gets better second half of flight.

[@rogermoore27]

Rotation like a boss at 7:38

[@duckgoose6234]

Thank you for sharing these flights with us. I am not a pilot but I enjoy watching these videos.

[@michae8jackson378]

Just started watching and I have to chuckle at the excited puppy! We have three dogs ourselves!

[@RRRIBEYE]

Love when your flight path takes you by Tampa - (Used to live in Riverview - can't quite see my house!) Thanks for uploading another one, Greg! Always enjoy!!

[@BillUtah]

Exactly what I love in a aviation video.. Well executed flight by a well trained pilot who explains what is going on! Add in the WHOLE departure/arrival with ATC (all of it) and I thank you! 👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏 Take care, Bill

[@KenWarner11711]

I can tell your dog watched your last video and is trying to help you keep your video clips in sync. Great video and thanks for the ride as always.

[@shaunviljoen1069]

[@DanCalloway]

Even though I watch your channel quite often as a subscriber and noted that you served in the U S Air Force. I see I failed in one critical area. I have been retired 27 years this year from the US Navy as a retired Navy Aviation Logistics Officer and wanted to thank you for your service to our country. I made many pilot friends in the Navy and miss the camaraderie very much. Have a great day and God speed.

[@qbsaber]

Thanks Greg nice flight and commentary, cheers

[@samllorca]

Thank you for pointing out Sarasota my hometown, Cheers!

[@russellmauldin6977]

I'm glad you flew over my area. beautiful views

[@chroniciguana402]

Glad we could provide the Florida thunderstorms for your flying enjoyment. Next trip south we'll be happy to get you some seat time on the floats. Fishing tackle provided. :) Also, nice shot of Gasparilla Island and Boca Grande Pass, the "Tarpon Fishing Capital of the World."

[@RHCorbett]

Just found your KZbin about a week ago, and have been binge watching it since then...my dog even set and watched when he heard your dog bark!!! This must be a family show!!! I really enjoy your videos, especially the ones about KRSW because back in the 70's, we used to have keg parties on the land they built that airport on. I live in Fort Myers, so if you ever get in town, send me a message and I will take you out to dinner. I love all your videos, so please keep up the good work!!! Cheers my friend....

[@Jay-xd6fz]

One of the best vids Greg. Camera work keeps getting better. Jumping around really keeps your interest on longer flights. Also showing out front and you in the cockpit on landing is great. Poor dog can't clear his ears may have been the barking issue.

[@williamhorne9050]

Your dog is fortunate to have such a good owner. Keep barking.

[@MarcusLeepapi]

That is so nice... You have your little one...Yes, I love dogs as well....To have you puppy with you is just nice....Thanks... Fly safe...

[@rnzoli]

Guys, it's crystal clear that the dog wanted to come forward to the co-pilot seat! No kidding.

[@lxxsxxx7845]

Dog is my co-pilot. ;)

[@hoffer54]

He wants to stick his head out the window and smell the smells! I know my dog loves to do that, would be a little tough at 300 knots!

[@XaymacaJah]

Fellow AF HERE... Thanks for keeping us safe.. Me too..did 37 years . Hey great videos. I can take a few cues from your experience. Keep on flying!!!!

[@gregmink]

Thank you for your Service!

[@BeechSportBill]

JUST checked - N100QS - 7/15/17 - Hailey Idaho (Sun Valley) to Marseille - FRANCE! Geez!

[@gregmink]

That is a serious flight.

[@Projectoxcart]

N100QS BD-700-1A11 Global 5000 GL5T

[@minecraftwtihclay]

Thanks for sharing, Looks like an awesome aircraft. My three hour flights consist of heading out of oshkosh going just out of Wisconsin with two or three airports to touch and go and RTB. You're crossing the US in that time.

[@gregmink]

No worries....I was doing exactly what you are doing now 30 years ago. And it was as much a thrill then as it is now. We all start there!

[@lsaare]

Even the Premier 1 Driver has a barking dog in their life. LOVE IT!!! Love the flights.

[@moneylab2860]

I speak dog fluently. When you were on final to RSW, the dog was definitely saying, "I gotta go, and I gotta go NOW!"

[@Sjapilot]

You sure he wasn’t just complaining about his ears popping and all the strange noises and rapid control adjustments on final?

[@doogerdavecurry2340]

Enjoyed this video, as I do all of them! Yeah, it was real quiet when you arrived at KRSW. Can imagine it in winter time. Safe travels too You!

[@MrTommyKimes]

Hola again from ZMA (retired). KNOST is with a long O. Named after a gentleman by the name of Bill. Another great flight. Thank you again.

[@Crownbagavenger]

Shuddered a bit when I saw one of those evil wicked roundabouts on your climbout. Lived in Fishers for a little over a year, and coming from a small town in Kentucky that was one of the biggest culture shocks... that and 465 construction haha. great video as always, nice to see some of the places in Indy again.

[@BeechSportBill]

GREAT video and camera angles! Think you puppy wants up front and yoke time!

[@BeechSportBill]

Hmmm - putting the course in Foreflight - PIE is NORTH of MURDO....but your FMS shows it AFTER MURDO... ANYWAY - Thanks again ! Ordered my T-Shirt today...

[@AureliusR]

Good eye!

[@1450JackCade]

Three things: first, watching you fly Greg is really one of those moments in which the very subtle but clear distinction between hobbyists and professionals is plainly visible. Steveo's channel is another example. As good as many of the amateur pilots are, there is a clear difference. Second, the documentation style of your videos which is largely unbroken and generally all inclusive are a rich text showing and thus teaching, your explanations are concise and exact. I wonder if you'd enjoy teaching. Third, for dog barking: of course a bark collar or a simple can or bottle filled with a handful of pennies that you shake when the dog barks. It works.

[@busterroberts4231]

Thank you for your service, I am so glad you are on our side...I would love to ride along even though I know that is not possible. My health has deteriorated so i'm more of a pain but I love watching your flights. Keep up the good work. Thank you for the videos.

[@PhilsProjects]

Fun video, thanks for taking us with you. I accompanied my brother on his CPL 300 flight, on the 15th of july, bonus was i got to fly the 340nm return to base, hand flew the last half of the trip. was a lot of fun

[@003rog]

Nice flight Captain. You are livin' large, livin' the dream.

[@codeasap]

John Howard 49yrs from Kentucky - I manage a sleep lab and have always dreamed of being a pilot since the movie top gun but instead of the air guard I spent 7 yrs in the Kentucky National Guard.Your video's are a great entertainment for myself to relax throughout the night as a sleep aid and would recommend the same for my patients as apposed to ambien if electronics didn't effect my sensitive equipment. Stay safe and keep on producing these great video's.

[@gregmink]

SO you are saying my videos put people to sleep. :-)

[@codeasap]

Very Relaxing 💤

[@11begood31]

Always a pleasure, doesn't get any better, every thing so cool riding in the cockpit of jet plane, like the explanations, was thinking how when you were consinstrating on flight controls your mind blocked out that irratant (dog barking) it was a rush when you turned the corner and punched it

[@frankseaman2855]

Thanks for letting us ride along. Enjoyed it.

[@z33511]

Nice day for a trip to Florida, and a nice video documenting the flight! Thanks again for your videos.

[@MartyBecker]

Was stationed at Griffiss AFB in the mid 1980s. Used to watch the F-106s (49th FIS) perform their simulated flame-out approaches. Impressive from the ground.

[@garyartzmd]

Great flight Greg, thanks for the signed picture P1D! Too bad for the nervous puppy passenger!

[@Jaguar79gt]

aaaah, your new brakes sounds much better, than in last video :))))) nice video and beautiful skys at 55:34 ^^

[@61scoppin]

Great video as always Greg, bet your looking forward to the return flight lol. yap yap

[@bryendelaurie1006]

Thank you for your service, Greg!

[@ronblack9092]

Hey, thanks for getting back to me so soon. I checked out. Man, you must of had the coolest dad ever to buy an airplane! Thanks again and fly safe

[@norbute]

Always fun to watch the displays. I was a dyed in the wool steam gauge pilot before I had to quit flying because of age. A bummer!

[@flyboybobio3431]

Love the dog barking. Thanks for the explanation of the engine start. Great vid as usual.

[@barryjolley1406]

U do a great job with you're instruction thanks.

[@BoldrepublicRadioShow]

Thanks for the help with the radio calls. I noticed while watching a flight flog from a twin prop in Florida that there is a lot more conversation at those lower altitudes, between traffic and pilot, where thunderstorms are building.

[@KKG51]

Hey Greg!! The T Shirt arrived yesterday, it fits great!! Thanks so much for the photo too :)

[@marissabojiuc]

Great point about thunderstorms! The longest flight vlog I've watched too. Looking forward to more! :)

[@richmiller2501]

I liked the dog!!!! felt homey !!!

[@smartsaversclub]

Just found your channel and became a fan and addicted, very nice content and well edited videos, can’t stop watching! Pilot to be here, 38 hours about to check.

[@gregmink]

Good luck!

[@statixmx]

So awesome... Wish I had access to learn this stuff! So jealous how quickly you can get to FL from Indy, much more tolerable than the 11-hour drive with the family lol. My 8-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter are fascinated with this video.

[@gregmink]

Thanks for the comments!

[@MrKnifeFanatic]

Entire Gulf coast had spotty but mildly strong thunderstorms all week. Rather weird for us, we normally get big fronts and not so much of the chaffy stuff. Oh well, at least in ain't 100 degrees.

[@chrisisbert5630]

Your videos convinced me to buy the Carenado 390 Premier IA for FSX-SE. Thanks for sharing your passion with us. Much love and respect from France.

[@richardvarner2802]

Great flight, Greg. I try to follow the flight path on Google Earth, as best I can. Always enjoy your flights. Thanks for sharing.

[@davidjohnston8059]

Laying down another solid trip along with P2d and mascot. Do not down play your role in informative flight training. I have flight training on a 172 and a Challenger. What you do everyday whether in your Premier jet or F16. You are a methodical pilot and I would feel safe and proud to fly with yourself. All the best TOP GUN.

[@johndemerse9172]

Great video Greg! First time I viewed the INDY 500 Track from the air.

[@williamlarkin1503]

Thank you for taking us along for the ride but your dog

[@guyburton9475]

Love the camera views, especially the one of the MIP when you put the camera on your pad on the yoke. Cheers. Great video again.

[@likenship]

Gotta love little yappie dogs. They bark at everything and anything. They do not even know what they are barking at. As a yappie dog owner myself, I feel your pain Greg.

[@mpark007]

Thanks Mike was another awesome video. That dog was a distraction especially on short final when you need full concentration, you handled it well excellent landing sir.

[@TheParadisecove]

NFF...

[@dustincarter1545]

Great video as always. Avid watcher from Columbus, OH. N100QS is a NetJets Global 5000. Anytime you here "ExecJet" or a tail ending in "QS" it's a NetJets plane. Keep up the great videos!

[@mattkobi3342]

Loved seeing Anna Maria Island/Longboat Key in this video. My home area

[@donstor1]

I never felt sorry for you until this flight. You looked like you were ready to shut down and bail out before wheels stop. I enjoyed the flight very much however. Thank you for all the detail. Excellent camera work and great editing. Thanks again. Don.

[@captaincurle4529]

0:57 when that thing fires up sounds so cool 😎 much more impressive than my cessna 172. 😂😂

[@raymaiden958]

Perfect timing as my shirt and photo arrived today! The P1D Air Force is one more stronger!

[@gregmink]

Thanks Ray! Hopefully it arrived in good condition along with the special "gift" inside.

[@raymaiden958]

That it did awesome!!

[@86Lebowski]

Yep, SFO sounds pretty fun. Hmm. Was reading about $17 M damage to a F thirty five, due in part from tailwind on engine start. Thanks for your service, and for sharing the cool videos.

Not everyone wants an ATP.

[@danfredericksen6548]

FYI, maybe look into a Thunder shirt for the pooch. I was skeptical at first, but it does work and keeps them calm. Just an idea when you have to take momma’s pride. Lol. Good luck I appreciate your your info and patience. Keep up the phenomenal work! Dan Fredericksen F3621

[@thomasmanson1119]

Good video P1D, if I didn’t mention it before, I am an ex- Beech engineer, mainly worked on King Airs while in the twin turboprop R&D section in the main plant there on Central ave. In Wichita (never worked on the Premier). Keep the vids coming. 73s de Tom KC3QAC

[@hectormuzquiz5277]

Great video. You have a very good patience! And thank you for the narration!.

[@hfredjones1]

The tail number of the larger jet you parked next too was N100QS. It is a Bombardier BS-700-1A11 and is registered to NETJETS SALES INC. MFR Year is 2012. It looks like it had multiple owners names on the registry.

[@ParadigmUnkn0wn]

Unsurprising that it's a charter jet or owned by a management company. Takes 2 pilots to fly, and you still can't hit its max range without them busting their 10-hour duty day. Not the kinda thing that is owner-operator flown. I doubt an entire year's worth of my disposable income could cover one hour of operating cost on that thing.

[@wayneharrison2358]

Another great video, barking dog and all. Cheers.

[@kathymyers-host6187]

LOL....I hear your Dog is NOT a Fan of Flying, Greg😅... It's okay; we'll all still fly with you 🙂💜✈️

[@NBBeechcraft]

+P1D, still working on my flight simming landings in the Premier, after a some more practice I think I'll be able to grease landings like yours. Watching you set up for landing really helps.

[@wbanach100]

great video, your getting better all the time. I felt like I was in there with you. I especially liked the panel shots on the left side, clear picture. Great video the barking added to the reality of whats going on./ thumbs up.

[@pinmode]

As ever, great videography. I like "riding along" primarily to listen to how you communicate with the various stations and to see how you handle normal in flight procedures. It seems like your dog gets fired up when climbing and descending but is just fine in cruise mode. I'm guessing your dog is letting you know it doesn't like the changes in cabin pressure. It could be that your dog needs to log more flight hours (just sayin') :) It probably likes it better in Florida than Indy, too.

[@airlogic]

Nice and green at Indy Greg? and love that start up Audio... fantastic spooling.

[@captaincurle4529]

I love the way those engines sound from about 22% N1 up to idle 😁

[@brockfox6806]

That's very interesting, i sit and watch your videos for hours on end...I hope to soak in some of what you are doing...I much appreciate what you do

Great new camera angles on the instruments! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@auggiedog5]

Funny. I was usually out flying on Christmas . 🎄 Busy time if year.

[@XaymacaJah]

you make it look easy. I am still in a T-41A Mescalero .out of March.. slow thing it is I like to watch the instrument work..... not fancy on the over wing views... I have much of tat on my X-plane 11 and fsx,

[@channingburton7476]

Always do a great job with your videos. Enjoy them much.

[@FuntastixBand]

Nice time piece by the way! Awesome video, as usual!

[@jameswikstrom4174]

Very nice flight as usual in spite of your barking dog! I think for this trip your dog was more nervous than your wife! Loved the camera views on approach to Ft.Myers. I would have to imagine that 41,000 is close to the service ceiling for the Premier. Only kidding about the nervous dog, you handled the situation very nicely with a beautiful landing as a bonus!

[@gregmink]

FL410 is the max ceiling for the Premier.

[@jameswikstrom4174]

Thanks for your reply. A Premier One Driver for life!
