Cargo pilot lifestyle: AFRICA to EUROPE with SAAB-340

[@droge192]

Dear Konstantin, you are the most skilled, passionate, experienced professional pilot I have seen on KZbin. Your super positive, happy outlook is infectious. You are friendly and professional with everyone you come across in your fascinating, multi-discipline aviation career. a true "PRO pilot". And also, you do not show off a huge ego, as so many KZbin VLOGers do! Never change! I will watch your excellent content for as long as you continue to make it!

[@KFEAvia]

Wow, thank you. Thanks a lot 😊😊😊

[@matthill1727]

Great everyday procedures at busy airports! Very helpful for those tiny airstrip pilots who rarely even see a towered field. Yes trying foreign products can be a new adventure. I used to get a lot of KDD products, Kuwaiti Dutch Dairy. Odd flavors for Westerners but still good.

[@KFEAvia]

Thanks for your comment, where and what do you fly mostly?

[@jayfleegle9455]

I flew on a 340 b from Orlando- Ft myers back 18 scared the hell out of me, seamed like they only used 5* flaps @180 kts while landing!!😬😵 Great Airplane 🤘

[@KFEAvia]

Wow, that's interesting, why would they do it that way, its actually flaps 7, but anyway, it is not a landing configuration...

[@aviationgroupie1433]

Thanks Konstantin, I appreciate that you show some of the cities that you visit as well as details of flying the planes you do. Kepp up the good work!

11:13 a bit of icing I can see on the de ice boots. Many Saab 340's have been converted into freighters, they are very useful for this duty. But here in Australia they are all passenger variants.

[@KFEAvia]

Yeah, i know, I thought about Australia one day 😎 That icing is not significant for using deice boots, but engine anti-icing must be on in such conditions.

Subscribing to send to my two grandsons (15/12 & 14 1/2) who began flying at ages 10 & 11 and now being mentored by a DELTA RJ captain on their flight simulator and want to become professional airline pilots. Great explanations and 'in depth' looks for them to see what awaits them. Keep up the good work.

[@KFEAvia]

Tom, hi! Thats an incredible story, flying at 10 and 11 is unbelievable. And the most important - they are on the right path. Pilot job, what can be better?! :)

I enjoy your Videos! I wonder: is there any reason you Use a Modular Headset instead of A20s?

[@KFEAvia]

Thanks! Simply, the Price: 150€ headset, 100€ the microphone wiring, opposite to 900€ for A20. Also, these are very compact, you can fold them and have less then half size of A20 :)

Your saab340 videos are great to watch. Nice video brother. which app do you use on your ipad for routing and weather stuff? Is it jeppesen or any other. And is there any free sites for the same ?

[@KFEAvia]

Hello. Thanks!!! Both are used, Foreflight and Jeppessen (now officially only Foreflight). Foreflight you get a free trial as far as i am concerned.

[@droge192]

Konstantin, can I ask, I see your work for ASI and your own KFE Avai, but when you fly the Saab are you working as a contractor for Fleetline? I am just interested in how varied and comprehensive a career like yours is! 😎

[@KFEAvia]

Hehe all right. I just love to help people buy and sell planes and i love flying - that is how i manage to fly on the different airplanes in a different companies and run my own :)

[@kieronemmett9601]

Seen this aircraft at airport i fly from. Have you flown into Teesside UK? Keep up the Saab videos they are great for motivation whilst i’m on my ATPL journey.

[@KFEAvia]

Teeside, nope. Didn’t fly commercially north of Manchester, however, landed in Wick on route to the US. Thanks for warm feedback :)

[@benburns5995]

Hi Konstantin, enjoyed this video of your flights from Africa to Europe. Notice that you were flying on the right seat as Captain. Is it unusual to have 2 Captains flying together? On some of your other videos a Co Pilot with 3 stripes are flying the right seat. It must be challenging flying from one country to another dealing with different weather patterns and regulations.

[@KFEAvia]

Good day, Ben! Yeah, we are lacking First Officers, therefore i flew with the other captain. SAAB340 is not so popular type this days, all FOs aim for Airbus 😀. As for country change - you get used to it quickly to be honest :)

Why do the two pilots have different uniforms

[@KFEAvia]

Good question :) In this company we are allowed to wear white or blue shirt, i prefer white. Also we can wear shorts in summer, but i never done so 👨‍✈️

[@vadimarsenie9182]

why you didnt have permission?

[@KFEAvia]

You never know when you get that permission, if the defined time frame of granting this permission is 5 days, yoy might get it in the same day or on the fifth. Countries like African, post Soviet, Asian, you need a special permission from Civil Aviation Administration, it is not Europe or America 😀 Even if you fly private, it is not like with the car - seat and go 😀 Jesus (or Allah or Buddah or whoever) has to come down and bring the light to some heads 😀 hundreds of cars cross without any issue, but plane - it needs special permission 🥲
