MAX ALTITUDE in the TBM850! - Miami to Atlanta IFR Flight VLOG

Flying thru storms, listening to two channels AND explaning like a teacher. I love it.

Got my 3rd class medical last weekend, took my first flight Monday, and I have two lessons scheduled for next week. Thanks Steveo for inspiring me to do this!

I’m a long time private pilot and never went instrument rated. I do enjoyed this intense and calculated IMC Flight and the skills you maintain Steven. Thank you for an A1 viewer experience.

[@davidwbybee3450]

I really like your videos. The production quality is easy on the eyes. I am a private pilot since 1990 but never pursued my Instrument Rating. The video gave me the hunger again to reach a new level. Thanks!!!

[@Parr4theCourse]

At least you got Radar Vectored, when we were there on our way to the Bahamas we got 3 re-routs in IMC/Turbulence /Unfamiliar airspace. We got it sorted out with the great help of some very patient controllers!

[@DreamAviator326]

Got goosebumps, with this flight, you just put me back to my student pilot days at PDK, where I earned my PPL and built some instrument time at EPPS Flight School (no longer exists). Those ATL skies certainly never change, though! The control tower shot reminded me when I was seated in that old and great C152 on the flight line that used to be in that same spot then. Thanks for this channel. Big fan and greetings from Colombia, South America!

[@bernimanmx]

I live and work around KPDK...I remember that day exactly. It was a crazy localized storm. It was so bad, that I had to send my family home after my kids swim lessons and skip CFA because how violent and out of nowhere that storm was. As i went to get the take out, I remember looking up at the beautiful and ominous clouds, wondering what it would be like to fly around them...and here you are...showing me exactly how it would have been...thanks!!! I'm really glad you made it safely.

[@JongRo_MEDICAL]

all around traffic, bad weather, stormy wind, buffy but this guys keep calm and make soft touch down. what a great job

[@adam_strachn]

Did some IMC training today and realized how much I’d learned about dodging storms and talking to ATC from your videos. Thanks! 👍🏻

[@cary61th]

I soloed at PDK in 1978. Back then it was runway 2L. The mag var then was 0 degrees over Atlanta so navigating as a student was easier. Good memories. The airport has grown so much since the 70s. Welcome to Atlanta!!

[@michaelguard9647]

“Spirit in the sky”, jus heavenly Steveo! You must be an old soul to know that song 👊

[@SVSecondChance]

It is always cool on your channel when you hear ATC say have a good day Stevo. Those guys listen and talk on those frequencies all day long for a living and still love to watch you do it. Now that's a true fan. And by the way nice landing as always

[@ernestbrumage8590]

Thanks for the interesting flight, Steveo!! I also want to compliment you on how well you handled what looked to be some of the nastiest IMC weather I've ever seen. Also, thanks for the terrific way you use your cameras in getting some of the best video in the business. Finally, thanks for the constant info you provide during all your videos, it's very helpful. Regards, Ernie

[@MarkusM521]

Very interesting video, thanks for sharing! I don't know so much about smaller planes, but that this thing has a pressurized cabin surprised me :) And it can fly up to FL310, the Dash 8-Q400 only goes to FL250, some to FL270.

[@Jlemasterx]

Great Video. I like when you include more panel & control shots. Temps, settings etc.

[@senatorkang]

I’m just at 10 touch & go’s as of today and it amazes me how easy you make it look. Hopefully I’ll get there!

[@pinkdispatcher]

Takes a long time. I have 260 hours PPL now, and I am amazed at how easy steveo makes even a challenging crosswind landing look. And yet he always plays it by the book, with a very healthy "better safe than sorry" attitude. When it comes to old vs. bold pilots, he's going to be one of the old ones one day.

[@RB747domme]

Controller: "See you later Steve-O!" What has to be one of the coolest things to hear.

[@Stefano50]

WHOA!!! THAT approach and landing were clearly NOT for the faint of heart......... and, as you said.......... not the time for amateur hour!! You appeared to handle that with your usual competent, calm, and workmanlike flying. Also, in these conditions and with that level of workload, that TBM truly shines as a pilot's "best friend". Thanks for posting.

[@prestonmiller9552]

Nice to see some weather flying Steveo. Thanks for all of your great videos. Both entertaining and informative.

[@trentbaugher60]

I've been watching your videos for months now- really enjoyable. You have a calm demeanor and take time to explain things clearly, with no stress noticeable. I always go "full screen" and fly along. Keep them coming- GREAT JOB!!

[@timothyjackson4447]

With hazardous weather and traffic everywhere you definitely earned your paycheck with this flight! Outstanding job!!

Agreed

Disagree. He is a professional pilot doing what he has been trained to do. It is really, IMO, no different to a CAVOK day except then the scenery is different and the workload is a bit lighter.

I've only watched a few of your videos and their really good. I've always wanted to fly but took a different path. My grandpa flew for Pan Am for 43 years. 1942-1985. He's got some stories that are truly amazing. I have a great respect for anyone who flies. Curious do you haul passengers or freight? Never see any cargo or anything.

[@stenny1970]

steveo1kinevo You are a very smooth pilot. Always calm.

[@natoli20]

Steveo.....great job producing this video! You seemed to be a bit more chatty on this flight which effectively conveyed to the viewer just how challenging single pilot flying of a complex aircraft can be when dealing with weather and busy airspace. Enjoyed the panel scans too. One of my favorites videos indeed!

[@achimhase]

Your cabin doesn't reach the normal 6.2psi pressure differential. You should have it leak checked.

[@robertg5393]

Chris Machaj huh? Slow? The TBM is the fastest GA SETP around......

[@andreinarangel6227]

@Chris Machaj 2 famous depressurizations.

[@achimhase]

@Chris Machaj I fly FL300/310 on every single leg. It adds a lot in terms of fuel efficiency and weather avoidance. The TBM has airliner dispatch reliability thanks to its altitude capability. TBM is well equipped with systems to handle depressurization, it's not very demanding or dangerous. Both cases were major pilot mistakes and have been incorporated in training. In case you get a pressure warning, you don the mask. You don't start messing with any system on the plane, etc.

[@robertg5393]

@Chris Machaj It is 'slow' if you are on the same departure or arrival route, or worst case, the same J- airway - however, they will simply vector you off it; The Vapp speeds are very similar to most mid-sized airliners. I think you are dissing on the TBM for no reason. Its a fantastic aircraft;

[@rudolfabelin383]

@Chris Machaj I am from Scandinavia, if that is a clue to you!!!

OUTSTANDING STEVE! I love that you give detailed and thorough explanations of your thought process and explain why you do what you do!

[@niceguyali]

That was intense watching never mind flying. Yet through it all you didn't seem fazed by any of it. I know some segments are edited so seem busier but that last section seemed real time. I guess focus and preparation are key, right?

To be honest, I prefer the original version of the intro music. If you are going to cover the Stones, you'd better make it something special, but I think this one just sounds like a lame copy, without any of the anger of the original (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWXMo4uHncyAp8k). Just my opinion.
