King Air B100 landing at JFK airport - cockpit view!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

I work for an aircraft management company, we fly small jets and turboprops. ATC sounds very confusing at the beginning, but there are a lot of standardized phrases that make it easy to understand, especially for non native English speakers. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

WOW - thank you very much, Joe. And thanks for watching my videos. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much Diogo -and thanks for watching my videos. Happy landings and greetings to Brazil, Guido

[@jameswikstrom4174]

Great flight as usual! I see why you chose to fly VFR on such a short flight rather than file an IFR Flight Plan. Not necessary for such a short flight. ATC in the NY Area is one of the busiest air spaces around which is why they are on top of their game. Extremely professional and courteous! The flight was flown to perfection as I would expect!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hi James, thank you for your comment. On a clear day you can fly VFR into JFK. However you are handling's;ed like IFR traffic and have to expect delays. Whenever possible I tryout to avoid LGA, JFK and EWR. Happy Landings, Guido

[@thomasbirkland2143]

Really enjoyed this. I am not a pilot, but I love watching pilots do their work. I very much enjoyed the view into the cockpit, listening to your comm with ATC, your working through the checklist, and very much appreciating your showing the forward camera angle on the last few seconds of approach and touchdown. Thanks for posting this.

[@lykes2fly]

I'm a pilot flying out of FRG and one of my favorite rides to give first timers is the NYC Skyline tour. Many of my friends like to fly below the Bravo on the south shore but I love talking to NY ATC. You're so right, they are very professional as you noted. You are as well. Dieses video gefällt mir sehr. Bis zum nächsten mal, tschuß.

[@gregriddle5163]

Guido, that was like watching a surgeon flawlessly performing a heart transplant in 5 min! Your professional approach and management in the cockpit was amazing, sterile and a joy to watch!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you Greg. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hi Terry, in the USA "Conditional" landing clearances are quite common, e.g. behind landing traffic line up and wait or you are cleared to land as number two, or cleared to land, traffic holding in position. Landing clearance can be cancelled anytime though. I think they do this to manage the massive amount of traffic at some airports. ATC is really great here! Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you. I would call NY TRACON and ask what a good time is to land at JFK to stay out of the peak time. I am not sure if they allow touch and go's. Always worth a try! Fly safe & happy landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much! Don't feel scared about the big airports, go for it! Take an experienced pilot with you and try it. May be you can do just an overshoot or low pass without landing. I would call ATC and ask. Happy Landings, Guido

[@Heli4213]

I have flown sense the age of eight. I was flying a R22 at 10 and fix wing also. Was in the military also. I live in NY but fly Bell430UTs in Florida. Always loved how complex helis are and have built a few with friends as well as home built projects.I also fly model helis and model jets. Always reading and flying that's all I do. I am a total nut about aviation. Its in me. I feel so at home in the cockpit if I didn't fly I would be truly lost. A true addition and passion. Thanks for the videos!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much, Rodolfo! And thanks for watching my videos and happy landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Only my pleasure, Mitch. Thanks for watching my videos. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

I lived in Joburg from 2002 to 2008. Not too many flights into FAJS, we tried to avoid it and went to Lanseria. But ATC was quite good there. They started to get the slot system for arrivals many years back, but how can you plan this if you fly within Africa. Happy Landings & thanks for watching my videos, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Mike, you are 100% correct on that. The 600/750 is a good combination. Some information is duplicated, but this is good, when flying multi-crew. So the info is in view of the right seat pilot too. The touch screen is ok, in turbulence not so easy to use. Happy Landings, Guido

[@801Nickster]

Guido, Thank you for taking the time to produce these videos. They are very enjoyable and the audio and text notes make it extra valuable to student pilots and enthusiasts such as myself. I am looking forward to more of your videos.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed the video. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

You are right, Peter. A lot of pilots are just hesitant to fly into busy airspace because they have never been exposed to it in training. Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings, Guido

[@jduchaussee]

I google ATC at Miami and JFK all the time and I am amazed at the speed of communication. I don't know how you guys keep up. Thanks for the videos. John

[@ilovegoatsecks]

beautiful video!!! i love all the captions and annotations you did when editing it, really gives the viewers an idea of what all is going on inside the cockpit.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

That's funny, Peter. It is my wife sitting next to me, getting a ride to catch a Lufthansa flight at JFK.... Many thanks for watching my videos and happy landings, Guido

[@wabadawiwa]

I'm from the Danbury area and used to fly at KDXR, now i'm a student at Embry Riddle and upon graduation hope to further my carrer as a pilot. I enjoy watching your videos very much, keep them coming. Regards, Doug

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hi Doug, all the best for your flying career. I visited ER last year and was quite impressed. Happy Landings, Guido

[@Michael-hp2pe]

These videos are fantastic! I appreciate that you label all the actions, it really helps understanding how piloting works.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much, Michael! Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks for your comment. I have no better way to put captions on the video and a lot of viewers seem to like them to understand what is going on in the cockpit With regard to video editing I am just at the beginning. I am thinking of "non-captured" videos as well. Thanks for watching my videos and happy landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank, Dave! It was a VERY long taxi to the general aviation parking... Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

That is correct, Eric. By certification, all King Airs - even the big King Air 1900 requires only one pilot. Many operators, choose to use two pilots though. Thanks for watching my videos and happy landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hello Stephane, Why not try it out and see what the controllers at Zaventem say? Thank you for watching my videos. Happy Landings, Guido

[@OmeHans]

Wow, great video. Love the camera angle, editing, explanatory titles and the great weather, busy, concise ATC and smooth landing.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you! I used to be based at KDXR, but started a new job recently. Happy Landings, Guido

[@dchaff1]

I flew a B100 for 2 years of wonderful experiences. Not a lot of them around. I've only flown in and out JFK in the simulator, but thanks for the memories. Great job in a great airplane.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

I use the Bose 10. They are very good. the Bose 20 is even better but very expensive. What I would suggest is to buy a used Bose 10 (ebay ore something), change the earpieces and then you have a like "new" headset for half the price. All the best for you flight training and happy landings, Guido

[@shadowshader8359]

That's a really nice video. I liked the captions whenever you made changes and I liked how we could hear the ATC communications. The operations that take place in the cockpit are very fluid.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

You are right, Justin! Good radio communication is very important. It is often not taught very good during flight training. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much Randy. Don't get scared of the big airports, just fly in there. Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you Gustavo. I have an adapter for the headset cable and the audio goes direct in the camera. Greetings to Brazil & Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you John, much appreciated. More videos to come. Thanks for watching them. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks Zach! I appreciate your comments from the "ATC" point of view. We have traffic alert on board, but you are right - eyes (and common sense) are very good tools. There is very little traffic at Bar Harbor, ME and I listened into the frequency 20NM out. Nobody there. Luckily I had no critical situation with traffic so far. Touch wood. Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings,' Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

That is great news. Not many B100 pilots around. Thanks for watching my videos. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Yes, taxiing on the ground is one of the challenges on a big airport. What I do not like about these airports are the delays. Can be a long time. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you Greg! I wish you all the best for you training. Have fun! Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Justin, the King Airs, especially the B100 with the Garrett engines, you "fly" to the ground, with power on. There is no classic flare. Of course it requires some judgement not to "plonk" it on the ground. Works mostly well... :-) Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido

[@JBFire97]

You manage single pilot operations in such a busy airspace supremely well. Wonderful video, thank you.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much Paul. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

You are very welcome, Herland. And thank you very much for watching my videos. More to come. Happy Landings, Guido

[@peterp696]

Very nice. I love the busy ATC sound feed you provided. I must start to do that on my videos too.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

It is a King Air B100. Quite a rare bird, only 200 built. It is equipped with Garrett turbines, all other King Air types have PT6 turbines. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks for your kind words! Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

You are absolutely right! Any change in rpm or any change in airspeed has an immediate effect on temperatures. Great engines, but require some care and attention by the pilot. Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks for subscribing, Doug. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks for subscribing! Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Yes Michael, quite bumpy. There was some wind, but I think the main cause was thermal turbulence. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you Todd. This is the first time I hear all this directly from an "ATC" man. Unfortunately pilots and AYC do not know each other well and there are some misunderstandings, Happy Landings & thanks again! Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

It made a huge difference to the cockpit that was installed before. Thanks for watching my videos and happy landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

I am glad you like my videos. Radio communication is an important part of flying. What might help is to buy one of this cheap receivers and listen to the radio frequencies of the big airports. Happy Landings, Guido

[@SicSRT4]

Thanks for the reply and i wish you the best of luck in your new job!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much. I used a GoPro hero 3 black edition. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much! And thanks for watching my videos. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

You are absolutely right! VFR was to safe time and miles flown (shorter route). Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks for watching my videos, Scott. Happy Landings, Guido

[@Sugah_J]

Nice job on the comms. I've found many pilots don't quite know what to say when faced with Class B high density traffic. I've never flown into JFK, but I've been in the Seattle Class B, and that was pretty busy, especially for a 172. Just have to remember to keep the time on frequency short and concise!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hallo Helmut, Gruesse nach Frankfurt! For the English speaking audience: Airplanes have trim tabs for all axis (pitch, roll and yaw). The special thing about the B100 is that it has NO mechanical wheel to trim over the pitch axis. Only an electric motor (with a stand by backup). This is why we have to check the electric trim every time we fly. If this has a malfunction, it call for big big trouble... Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Ohhh you are a brave man! I have flown C206'es to drop jumpers but resisted all invitations to do it myself... I will certainly check you channel. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Yeah, quite a treat.... Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido

[@neildoherty2001]

Hey Guido, your piloting skills are the most professional that i have ever seen! especially the way you do callouts and procedures! your a great inspiration for my flying. Thankyou and keep up the great flying and videos!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much, Neil! New videos are already in the works. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Marcelo, that is a good question. Normally we try to avoid JFK bcause the delays are unpredictable and this costs a lot of fuel. We go to the other NY airports like KHPN and KTEB, they are specialized for the business aviation. In this case a customer wanted to be picked up at JFK. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks! My wife typically sleeps 99.9% of the flying time. Happy Landings, Guido

[@joezona18]

This is seriously one of the coolest aviation videos I've ever seen. Great stuff!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Radio communication is certainly a challenge in the busy New York airspace. But with some practice, it is much less difficult than it appears. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Congrats to your IF rating. I would call the JFK tower and ask when a good time is to fly in there. HPN and TEB can get busy as well. Happy landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much. JFK is quite busy - but they have excellent controllers who work well with the pilots. Thanks for watching my videos - more are in the works. Happy Landings, Guido

[@fireemt97]

Very nice, thanks for posting. Being a new pilot and wanting to eventually fly the King Air it is great to hear the comms with ATC.

[@Windtee]

Timely upload, Guido! I'm glad to see you did it VFR! This is something many of your viewers don't see every day. I'm tentatively planning a flight into JFK and LGA in a Cirrus this summer from Long Island. Being a hindrance to the flow in a "six-banger" shouldn't be a problem... as long as I keep my speed up. Awesome video!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

It's a busy and demanding airspace but the views are spectacular. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks to you! I had the great pleasure to fly to your country in 1980 in a Cessna 182 to Algiers and to Ghardaia. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

The ramp and parking is approx. $500. Sounds a lot but airports like KTEB are $350 for a similar aircraft. JFK is always busy and the biggest problem is the speed of single engine aircraft. The King Air sequences easy with the jets. I'd call the airport management and ask what to do, may be a low approach only and do it at night or early morning. Good luck! Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Go for it! It is easier than you think. Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks Tom! I appreciate that you like the the videos. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Hi Martin, this is a King Air B100 turboprop. 11.800lb max take off weight and 2 x 715 HP Garrett turbines. Happy Landings, Guido

[@jbmbanter]

Non pilot, I flew into Orlando in a Piper Navajo with a friend and remember tower telling us to keep speed up and exit runway as soon as feasible. Looked back and saw a commercial go by as soon as our tail was off the runway. LOL! Great video!

[@IslandSimPilot]

That is one heck of a displaced threshold! Did you go in VFR just to avoid all the routing that IFR would entail? Really enjoy your videos.

[@PilotMindset]

Hi Guido, your videos are really awesome. I really enjoy them, Danke! Quick question. How are you able to afford flying a King Air for a leisure flight with your wife to JFK with a $500 landing fee? Was this a repositioning flight or do you own the aircraft yourself? As a pilot myself, I struggle to afford $150/hour for an aircraft rental and I know pilots barely get by on their salaries. Just a curious question from a future commercial pilot! Thanks!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks for your comment Aaronl I will see if that is feasible, because it is a lot of work. You point out an important challenge in IFR flying: the radio communication. Especially at the big airports, the controllers speak very fast! There are web sites the that record live ATC, google them. A great way practice. Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Robert, I think I said this to make the tower aware that I might not be as responsive as a multi-crew. A lot of things to do for one pilot at a big airport like Kennedy. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Very nice. Just saw the photo you uploaded in flightaware. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you Kevin! Happy Landing, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you! Unfortunately we do not come often the the West Coast. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you. I am working on more videos at the moment. Happy Landings, Guido

[@JmaK17]

Lovely, steady approach, and an excellent landing to top it off! Also great work with the coms! I'll be checking out your other vids for definite!

[@RobertMChambers]

Nice video, nice cockpit procedure and proper checklist usage is always a good thing. Hope your wife enjoyed the trip too. Keep making these videos Guido!

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thanks Bill! I like to fly in the B airspace for the Skyline tour. Too many helicopters around... Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

You are very welcome, Mirco. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

That is a good idea. We try to avoid it whenever possible. Last week we had a King Air at La Guardia that had to wait 90 min with engines running and had to return to get fuel. Happy Landings,' Guido

[@mannyoro]

Wow! I am 55 y.o. and got my license this year after a 36 year wait! I envy you! Nice videos. I watch them all.

[@phantom0482]

Guido I must say since I found your channel I have enjoyed your many videos. I'm a student pilot 10 hours in just about to start my solos and if only I can be half as proficient in my comms as you are I'd feel so much better, I know that comes with time but just hearing it always amazes me. cheers from Miami

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Not so much courage, but good preparation. And some experience, of course. I fly since almost 6 years around New York. Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you! Same here: I like to fly jets, but I would miss the King Airs badly if I would not fly them anymore. Great aircraft. Happy Landings, Guido

[@mitchymagic]

Hi Guido, I love watching your video's, they are so informative. Thank you so much. Mitch

[@GuidoWarnecke]

That's Sky Manor. I think I have been there in the King Air once. Everything below 3,000ft is marginal in runway length because we need the accelerate stop distance. Hope the burgers are good there.... Happy Landings, Guido

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Flaps stayed at approach setting, which is an approved procedure in the B100. Add 10 kts on the approach speed. Obviously landing distance is not an issue at JFK... Happy Landings, Guido

[@SicSRT4]

Guido, I just found your channel and your videos are incredible. Thanks for taking the time to make these. Do you normally fly around this area? Just curious because I fly out of KOXC and visit KDXR occasionally. I'll have to start listening for your callsign! As a side note, at 3:01 when you check-in with departure over CMK, that controller sounds a LOT like Arnie from KJFK and, later, KISP. Does anyone know if he's working radar now?

[@kissingbanditt]

Mr. Guido, i wanted to say i Subscribed to your amazing channel. I'm so happy i came across it. I love listening to ATC and watching you reply, react to instructions, etc and just mostly you explaining in text in the video why and what is going on. I fly to destinations monthly and always record take off's and landings. Well, hope to see more videos of yours and i must have watched at least 10 videos from your channel already lol....Talk soon, Theo.

[@GuidoWarnecke]

Thank you very much, Theo! New videos will come up shortly. Happy Landings, Guido
