Part 2 Long Day in a Gulfstream - Pilot VLOG 60

Here is the second half of our long day up and down the East coast. We departed Miami Opa-Locka Executive for Ft. Myers Southwest Florida International Airport. After a quick turn, we flew to Nassau, Bahamas to drop the passengers. Unfortunately, the cameras were all full with dead batteries, so that is where the filming ends for the trip.
Music:
"Not Me" by Silent Partner

[@regressmenot]

The combo view of high behind you and forward view works well. Liking it. Great video guys.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Excellent!

[@badbilly1083]

I’m with you RegressMeNot, it’s a great multi/split view. I also dig the upbeat music at 17:45. You are really stepping up your game Sean. I’ve watched a few vids on P1D’s channel that are really good, but his music is great and it really stands out to me. I also think that most ‘non-fighter jet’ aviation videos are best with 2 pilots interacting with each other and ATC. I hope everyone in the Corporate Pilot Life world is having a great weekend!! Have fun and stay safe.

[@jerrykorman7770]

These videos just keep getting better and better

[@michaeldoherty2119]

Great videos. Let me know if you ever venture as far as Sydney Australia. 👍🏼

[@lucabertagnolio9166]

@Corporate Pilot Life love the camera shots of the Nassau approach too, great visuals there! One thing I noticed is the much higher landing gear noise with this camera setup, other than that it’s really looking good. Hope Sun ‘n Fun was sunny and fun! I have see that there was quite a squall line sweeping the area over the weekend!

[@jerrykorman7770]

“Fat girl goin in here” “That’s offensive, Shaun” Priceless

[@kodkid]

Jerry Korman I was wondering what he was referring to... glad you caught it.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I hope no one actually gets offended by that one...

[@jerrykorman7770]

Corporate Pilot Life the only thing offended was the GIV

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Have to be kidding right? Classic chatter

[@jerrykorman7770]

Justa UKfan the only bizjet I would call a "fat girl" is a Citation 750 series, AKA Citation X. With the bulge under the center of the aircraft, the X really does look ... pleasantly plump. The X is also the hotrod of the skies

[@geoffeg]

The little laugh in the background when the Nassau controller said "Always available". Nicely done, really enjoy your videos.

[@vetterfellow]

Bueno Comrades; Excellent entertainment. Thanks fer taking us along, Cheers !!***.

[@dixienormous3262]

Yup, you found it. Man these guys are calm. Two of the nicest personalities and demeanors I've ever seen for pilots. This should be where the bar is set. Great job guys!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you!

[@dixienormous3262]

Corporate Pilot Life You and John are more than welcome. Keep up on the great vids; makes my week more enjoyable. Cheers.

[@davewygonowski984]

I worked for then Cellular One in Ft. Lauderdale, righ tbeside executive. During my lunch hrs I used to listen in on the activity. AWESOME!!! During the early 90s when there was an air traffic control shortage, I saw ads for atc school in cinici that I seriously considered... To this day I still wonder if I was wrong in not pursuing that. ??? God only knows.

[@patrickpepper4587]

Your CRM routine is textbook ... kudos to both of you!

[@Moonwiz]

"That's offensive, Sean!"....I'm sure that isn't the first time that's been said. Great vid! Love the split screen! Thanks for all the hard work!

[@markchamberlain6607]

I like the split screen at the landing where we can see the goings on in the cockpit and the landing field both. I love it. The only thing that would make it better is to see Francine sitting in the jumpseat.

[@racecar1479]

You land tough! I like when your buddy fly and u be co pilot, feel much safer

[@judgej.8816]

Holy f**karoo!! The radio chatter!!! 😝

[@fredthorne9692]

It's a sin you guys make it look so easy. The price of professionalism....but someone has to set the bar. This was an enjoyable video. Those of us behind the bulkhead get a view of an amazing process. I'm more aware and appreciative of what flight crews face even though my budget relegates me to the commercial heavies.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thanks Fred...glad you liked it!

[@BenA-bu1cz]

I wish I could be on one of those heavies.

[@brucehaley3651]

Loved the plane shadow on the clouds!

[@dschephigh1]

I love flying into Fort Myers, That usually means we are going to our favorite destination spot. Sanibel Island. Another good landing by you two. Fly safe.

[@waukeshapilot6462]

Everything is bigger and better in a Gulfstream ! Just look at the size of that HUD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just Kidding.

[@jdencook]

Great video as always guys thanks ! Sean tell Wolfman Jack we’re still waiting for a back story.

[@jerrykorman7770]

Jay I guess I have to call upon that Creative Writing class I took way back in 1988: “Although Jon wanted to follow his childhood dream of opening a unique haberdashery - entertaining the customers with his repertoire of Frank Sinatra songs - his new wife had other plans”. We’ll keep making up plausible backstories until Jon caves

[@turbopiloto]

"Vámonos!" lol nice!

[@jerrykorman7770]

Rafael Mora Jon adds a lot of color to these videos. We need to see more of him

[@JohnnieV]

Love your stuff. Shout out from Biloxi & New Orleans.

[@williegillie5712]

Could feel that wake with ya. Not bad compared to some I've seen. I like how ya inset the outside view in the center top of the screen during take off. Nice touch and the view off the wing is pretty cool too.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That seems to be liked by most people...excellent! Thanks for the input on it!

[@jerrykorman7770]

I second that. Good job Shaun

[@nilslindenblad2282]

Love the Coastal shore line view of Miami area as you left for Ft. Myers....and who could not enjoy Bahama Mama International's ATC. Good job!!

[@patriotcustodian7777]

“Staying out of the money side of the operation”... you’re a smart man! I can’t say that I blame you one bit. You’re considering a contest? That solidifies my opinion of your being a smart man. Thanks for the videos and for responding to my questions. Safe travel to both of you.

[@XACMF]

So cool you guys came to RSW! I hope to spot you next time from our viewing area!! Cheers!

[@rikright960]

Great video, thanks for bringing us along.

[@bernardanderson7569]

Professional team and crew to you both on check

[@Supra1728]

Awesome video, hoped you enjoyed the 5 mins at the beach. Greetings from The Bahamas

[@gankdgamer2141]

The entire work load seemed alot more hectic this go round. Safe flying sirs! Love all of these videos. "Make up your mind!" :)

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Short flights always seem that way...same amount of work to be done and less time to do it in.

[@cody9871]

Great video. My wife is a FA for United for 24 years and her multi legs trips are brutal. I did one with her and by the last leg I could barely keep my eyes open, and I was a passenger.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

The FA gets the hard job...that's where the real work happens!

[@celestialfix]

I really like watching you guys hand fly the airplane.

[@frank9240]

VAMINOS........YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!............(hands down).....keep up the good work....

[@royortega1685]

I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You probably don't know it, but you are doing a lot to inspire young pilots. Thanks for what you're doing.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you very much...that's exactly what we are hoping to do!

[@andytaylor1588]

Another outstanding flight. Greased it on, eh? Greedings from the East Coast of Canada.

[@jeffreyg3831]

Andy Taylor Shawn usually prefers a “carrier landing” vs. greasing it on.... 🙄

[@niceguy2171]

Running you guys hard those days, in areas you wish you had a bit of layover, but that's how it falls sometimes. Great views and at least you had decent weather.

[@phillipsiviter2024]

Your G is earning its keep today - can’t wait. til the next instalment.

[@SJMDronesMedia]

Busy busy busy day, but nice flight, thanks.

[@Cheeto80]

“Go see the beaches for about 5 minutes” Lmao! I would trade professions with you anyday my friend!

[@popps48]

I do not like to fly. I have been watching your videos for a few weeks and love them. If I ever win the lottery I would love to fly with you. Entertaining and so professional. I think it would be a blast. Thank you and safe flying.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Great to hear! Best of luck on the lottery!

[@erikshort6140]

Thank you guys for these awesome videos. IM currently a student at a 141 school trying to figure out if I want to go to the airlines or corporate. These videos give me an inside look that I wouldn't be able to get if you did post videos. If your ever in Vermont. It would be an honor to meet you guys! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Awesome! Let us know how the flight training is going!

[@erikshort6140]

It has been awesome so far, almost done my instrument rating now. Just a few more weeks left till I get it

[@jerrykorman7770]

erik short good job!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Very nice!

[@bernardanderson7569]

Great landing and the flight was beautiful as well as the Landing

[@bernardanderson7569]

Beautiful approach to landing as always

[@chrismorgan89084]

Fantastic Crew coordination very professional pilots, great videos and what a Life! Like your hot rod G-IV

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you!

[@judgej.8816]

Well done with the video editing/music. I really like watching your flight ventures, gentlemen! 💕

[@gregf438]

John and Shawn... Love you guys keep it coming good shit guys!!!

[@bruceclymer8655]

Love every one of your videos guys. You really work like a team and really fun to see the by-the-numbers professional approach

[@bartofilms]

Another great Flight VLOG. 😎👍

[@muonneutrino2909]

An entertaining series. You guys need to sell some Corporate Pilot Life swag: hats, lanyards, bag tags, etc. I’m sure many of your followers would buy it. Thank for the videos.

[@simonticehurst5899]

Love you guys always a great travel experience and banter,keep on keeping on.

[@tyinyvr]

I Love the Nassau ATC "Always Available"

[@Ripper13F1V]

I recall when ya'll would only get a couple hundred views, wow has this grown. Great job!

[@budc865]

Great videos, guys...I'll be ready to apply for a right seat soon!

[@robertkerr3059]

you guys do many a great service by giving a no bs look at how your sausage is made, I just get a real charge out of riding along but I am not not type rated in a bloody thing. enough stroking, from my vantage point not being familiar with all of ones cranial particulars, Sean is a dead ringer for that guy in the matrix (as you probably already know) and the good captain looks like like jack black, I have too much respect for your lovely flight attendant to say anything but doting compliments

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I'll take that...thanks!

[@c0wbys01]

i have to be honest fellas.....I have never been interested in being a pilot...In fact, I am terrified of flying....well...crashing actually....But you guys make it so entertaining....I want to hang out with you fellas...

[@darrensworkshop6783]

You guys make me wish I had gone flying in the RAF and not ground radar. You guys must love your job.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We certainly do

[@alduncine]

Enjoy the Vids and the technical Vids Thanks for sharing guys!

[@burt24pop]

Awesome two videos. You guys work good together

[@MartyBecker]

One thumbs down. Must have been an airline pilot wishing he was living the corporate pilot life. Enjoyed the video, guys!

[@brandenschock142]

Great Video guys, love the multi view. Happend to stumble upon your page about 2 months ago and happy I did. Got me hooked!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Excellent

[@bernardanderson7569]

I love the G-V when you taxing in there is no other jet that can match

[@raymondhouser3564]

You guys are doing a great job I like the split seen views as well.

[@jameswaldron1]

full work day boys

[@bernardanderson7569]

ATC communication loves the Gulfstream because it get the job done to clean up and climb out to reach the Flight level

[@edwardmorano7980]

Love your channel. I wait for the alerts for new videos. Next time your in Kteb give me a shout. I like to park behind 24 or 6 and take pics of arrivals and would love to send you guys some pics of you on final. Also know some greats spots for good eats.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That would be awesome!

[@bernardanderson7569]

Great views and I love it

[@OrrTrigger013]

Great video!!

[@BenDoverII]

Solid as always!!!!!

AWESOME JOB GUYS....KEEP IT UP

[@petermacpherson4192]

Love the vids, keep them coming.

[@Steve-ev6ow]

Man, I love your videos! Thanks for the effort!

[@CableGuyJoeCCTV]

Again what a view... do you ever look at your videos and go hey I missed seeing that you're so busy flying the plane does this give you a chance to go look around like you get to be a passenger in your own plane get to look around see what was out there .....

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That actually happens very often...

[@andytyz9790]

[@TowTruck816]

Freakin love your videos! Keep doing what you do!

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Another nice video

[@hockeyref8789]

This video could not have come at a better time. From Closed MSP, could not keep up with the snow. 2” per hour. Opens at 2100. Thanks for the hard work on your videos. Seems like a lot of work for you. We certainly enjoy!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Ouch...that sounds like no fun.

[@jerrykorman7770]

Dick Boldt no offense, but I'm glad the weather hit the Twin Cities and missed Winnipeg. I heard the Jets were diverted to Duluth, then returned to Winnipeg.

[@GrantGrove]

And then there are those kinda days....

[@robbo01100]

Ever been to Staverton Gloucester UK, love the Vids!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Nope...not yet

[@robbo01100]

Love the Vlogs so if you do have to visit Staverton by all means the hospitality is on me!,

[@bernardanderson7569]

Tell Say hello to Francine and hopefully she's doing well and staying ready to be back aboard with you both

[@ferdinandfrancis9673]

Sean, you did not mention the name of the flight attendant, btw all the ladies are hot!!!!!

[@aaronhallmark5645]

6:56 John: sniff..... John: That is offensive Shaun. Shaun: ......Yes. (nods head with pride)

[@CorporatePilotLife]

yep!!

[@paullehr9236]

Great video of a busy day for you guys. Since I don't read all of the comments I have a question that may have been asked and answered before. When the flying pilot calls for a flap setting, the non flying pilot says "speed checks" before saying the setting and actually setting it. Can I assume that the non flying pilot is just confirming that you are not above the max speed for that flap setting?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Exactly correct.

[@thegamessilva-bn6bh]

That Sierra Kilo is from KTMB plane is from Dean aviation

[@jeffreyg3831]

Do you share the hours as PIC? Are all of your log books digitalized? Another great video! Always very very PROFESSIONAL in every way! You are both excellent examples of what every pilot should strive for.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you very much! I'm not sure how Jon does his logbook, but I still do paper. I tried to do the digital logbook, but never stuck with it. There's something about writing those numbers in that book that I like. We do share the PIC time. When I fly, I log it, and vice versa. Glad you like the videos!

[@antfowler2278]

Great video once again guys you work well together very professional. Don't no if I've missed it or not but when r we gonna get Johns career path 2 present day

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Still working on getting that out of him...

[@lucabertagnolio9166]

@Corporate Pilot Life great to see so much of Florida in this video! On the fuel you had on board, did you do a three stage OPF-RSW-NAS-TEB or else you put some fuel in Ft Myers? I am sure you don’t have great restrictions on fuel and maximum landing weight, and you can also carry a lot of fuel like we have in the transatlantic flight, so I am more curious to see if it’s financial gain/loss calculation that made you choose to NOT fill up in Nassau. I am sure Jet fuel is more expensive there than in Florida!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Hey Luca! If I remember correctly, we took fuel in TEB to get us to OPF, then took enough to get us all the way back to FRG. OPF has very cheap fuel, so we were able to save some money by tankering. We do burn more fuel when tankering, but it's still financially beneficial when we can save $1.00 per gallon on a 2000 gallon purchase.

[@airfiero4772]

Dude...external USB battery packs! ;)

[@captainwaynepilotvlogs7701]

Hi there Shaun. Another great video! What make of long sleeve pilot shirts do you wear in this video? Looks thick and bright white. Unlike those thin pilot shirts

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We've been trying a few different ones, but I think those are the Aero Phoenix Elite.

[@patrickbaldwin3580]

Great channel! Really enjoy both the flying and the ground adventures. Are you guys well known enough yet that customers by-name request Presidential-69 as their contracted plane? Keep up the great videos!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That hasn't happened that I know of yet...it would be amazing though.

[@JoneszsRides]

Great video guys. Shawn when is John going to do the video on how he got into flying???

[@jerrykorman7770]

If Jon doesn't soon explain how he got into his career, we're just going to have to make something up. Eg, "after a successful but highly controversial career as an international criminal mastermind and Bond villain, Jon decided to settle down and start a family ..."

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Jerry Korman I can neither confirm nor deny your theory....HAHA!

[@markthompson3919]

@@jerrykorman7770 i say we make one up as you suggested...continuing your beginning..."but home life and doing voiceover work for the "facial hair club for men" was unfulfilling so he headed to key west to become a first mate on a sportfishing vessel. Little did he know though...."

[@jerrykorman7770]

Mark Thompson nice!

[@LuciferMorningstarDanny]

Cutting cheese Sean lol 👍👍 blue cheese so it seems 😂😂

[@BajaGirl302]

Oh and do you ever fly the G600? The sun ☀️ is awesome on the video. And it does look like are floating

[@bernardanderson7569]

Great to be back in the cockpit with you both ! Presidential 69

[@ethanpope9890]

The video did not start and i liked it, just because i know it's goood. (video ends) hit like again and notice the likes # increases again. So tempting to keep smashing the like button!!!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Awesome! I love it!

[@eduardoletti5537]

Hi Guys, nice job on the flying and very interesting videos of the operation. I'm a Boeing (BBJ guy and have a question which is probably stupid: I noticed that the Pilot Monitoring (PM) always handles the altitude window on the Mode Control Panel (MCP). However, when the Pilot Flying (PF) is on the right seat this creates the potential situation of crossing hands during radar vectoring to meet heading assignments. Wouldn't it be easier to just let the PF handle the MCP, with confirmation of the HDG and ALT by the PM? Thanks for posting the videos as they are very informative. Safe flying!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

You are exactly correct that in that situation, we sometimes have a "crossing arms" issue, but for us, it's just easier to deal with that and always know that whoever is on the radio is the one who sets the altitude pre-select and the PF verifies it. We've always operated with the mentality that whoever is "flying the plane" has the MCP, which we actually call the Flight Guidance Panel on the Gulfstream. Not that it really matters on the terminology. I appreciate your input, and we will definitely talk about if we want to make some changes in that respect.

[@gsmorgansen]

You two guys remind me of Men In Black! 😉

[@k-peezy2723]

Expected a Stevo1Kinevo cameo at some point lol

[@gcritch33]

Thanks guys and as enjoyable as ever. Is the Gulfstream due any upgrades in the near future and do the avionics entirely suit your needs or could anything be improved ?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We're actually in maintenance right now getting some avionics upgrades as we speak. When it's done, we'll be fully CPDLC capable.

[@tb7452]

It would be awesome if you could include the background noise of the Gulfstream!!!!!

[@Newzchspy]

How soon after rotation do you typically go to autopilot?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Just depends from one day to another. Typically no lower than 500 feet, but usually somewhere around 10,000 feet. Some days we fell like hand flying, some days we just want the autopilot to do it.

[@jameswikstrom4174]

Very nice flight as usual from Presidential 69! You guys have made flying an exact science! I have one question which I don't believe has been asked. With respect to flight hours etc. What are the FAA"s regs. regarding how many hours you can fly a month. You just accumulated a substantial number of hours in the video. You guys are great as well as your videos!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

There is no limit monthly, but we are limited to 500 hours per calendar quarter, 800 hours in 2 consecutive quarters, and 1400 in a year.

[@jameswikstrom4174]

THANKS!

[@jeffreyg3831]

What’s that gunk on the wind screen at 6:39-6:46??? Oh never mind! Just more Florida bugs 🐜 🐛 🕷

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Constantly picking those things up

[@jerrykorman7770]

Corporate Pilot Life we have bugs in Manitoba too. In summer that is

[@scotty11782]

Thanks Guys

[@graysono]

Is there not a PTT on the panel / centre console?? Seems a bit daft for PM to be using the button on the controls as PF is flying!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

There is one on the outside console for each side...sometimes we still use the one on the yoke though
