Sounds like papa in the right seat wants to be the pilot in command…

[@golfcoastpilot]

Who doesn’t want to be PIC. Thanks for watching!

[@skycop56]

Papa probably has 30,000 hours, how many do you have?

[@VaCapes]

Great video Andrew. Keep them coming.

First time to see your videos. I was departing KBHM in Cirrus 503LA as you were arriving. What are the odds!

[@golfcoastpilot]

What are the odds. Safe flying!

Nice job thanks for sharing

[@dand2440]

Great Video

[@golfcoastpilot]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@GeezerGeekPilot]

Very nice flight and video. I must have missed you picking up your Clearance... or was that done off camera? At non-towered airports I normally complete my runup, then phone for my clearance, enter route into the panel, and takeoff (before the void time). I expect you did the same. Thanks for posting.

[@golfcoastpilot]

Did not show picking up clearance. Glad you enjoyed.

[@bcfreedomfighterbcff167]

IF it's the same as the 20 bring it to full idle after run up vs 1000 to see if it continues to run then back to 1000

[@golfcoastpilot]

I cover idle checks in taxi and double check it with before take off checklist. Keeps me ahead of the airplane :)

[@mts982]

Aren’t you to remove that black caps cover before takeoff?

[@golfcoastpilot]

Cirrus requires the red CAPS pin be removed before takeoff. Some also chose to remove the black cover as well.

[@millerliteliker]

Good video and great airplane. One question - why engage the AP so low? If anything goes wrong with that AP you don't give yourself much of a chance to recover. And something will go wrong someday. I hand fly departures until at least 1000 AGL and usually to the first altitude clearance. Just for peace of mind

[@LRobichauxIV]

In my recent IFR training (in a Cirrus), I was trained that best practice on all instrument departures (particularly in low vis / ceilings) is to activate TOGO prior to taxiing onto the runway, have heading / altitude bug set to initial assignments, and activate AP between 400 - 600 feet AGL. I believe this is also called for in the Cirrus Flight Operations Manual (iFOM). I suppose this is a risk trade-off between lowering the risk of spatial disorientation if entering IMC quickly after liftoff, and the extra second or two it would take to take control of the yoke and disconnect the AP. For me personally, I never really take my hand off the yoke on an IFR departure even after engaging the AP. With simply tightening my grip around the side yoke, I'm able to make manual inputs and simultaneously disconnect the AP.

[@golfcoastpilot]

There are many different ways to go about this. Simply put, I use autopilot to reduce pilot workload especially when taking off into IMC conditions. Considering I had an immediate turn on course it made sense for a low vis departure. Limitation is 400agl per manufacture. Glad you enjoyed, thanks for watching!

[@golfcoastpilot]

@@LRobichauxIV Right on! Statistically more likely to get spatially disoriented than have a catastrophic engine failure. But always be prepared for either situation.

[@ehvisuals]

another good one 🔥

[@tannerb55]

What’s the backstory on dad seems he definitely flown a bit. Is it your family’s plane to I take it? Dad looks waspy like he may own it lol. Great vid

[@golfcoastpilot]

Haha, yes family plane. He flies as well.

[@SandDuneProperties]

"Looks WASPY"? Seriously? 🙁

[@flymatt1968]

Curious where you received your training Andrew?

[@golfcoastpilot]

Have received training from many different flight schools. Started at TLH, then AUO and OCF. Hope you enjoyed!

[@weatherherk1]

Must had hit the lotto flying a 22…lucky you

[@golfcoastpilot]

Haha! Glad you enjoyed!

[@RJ-cu4cj]

Video is good but I don't understand why contributors have the cameras staring at them for half the videos?? Not interesting. Show the outside, gauges...etc.

[@FlyMeAirplane]

Excellent video, could have done without the music tho.

[@LeanMan_777]

Could have done without your mom

[@FlyingNDriving]

Good ol daddy's money flying good through the air

[@RedArrow73]

Music is awful.

[@golfcoastpilot]

Got any song requests? Thanks for watching!

[@LeanMan_777]

Ur mom
