Planning My Longest Flight EVER as a Private Pilot

[@srmixalot1764]

You need 2 channels 1 for everything to do about the home and another for your flying

[@msmith2016]

I love the minimalist lifestyle you guys are living.

[@crystalwright1504]

Great explanations, Jesse!!! My husband is a private pilot. This was great for me to have a little more indepth understanding of what goes into the planning.

[@TheGranti7a]

And the bambino?

[@hotlavatube]

If you do a layover in Bishop, CA stop by Erick Schat's Bakkery, a local institution. :-D

[@NelloCambelli]

One consideration is packing O2 for pilot above 10,000 feet keeps you more alert. Cool sim for flight. Planning requires arrival with enough fuel to arrive at the alternate. You might getting the book, Proficient Pilot by Barry Schiff. Paper charts are required as iPad or electronic have habit of failure when critical. Then, dead reckoning is required.

[@harlandfazardo799]

When I used to fly the outbound trip I planned real well, but sometimes on the way home you get, home itis, I call it. I was more open to accept higher risk in order to get home.

[@berniemccann8935]

The best video that has appeared on my screen on this subject. Thanks.

[@irishsun22]

Hi guys. I'm an air traffic controller at LA Center / ZLA. If you ever have questions about restricted/MOA's, drop me a line. You'll be flying north of where my airspace ends, but if you ever head down towards PSP one day, I could work your aircraft.

[@advandervelden1588]

So Jessy this means NO DELAY at LA

[@chrislewis5150]

Cool stuff. I have watched you guys since the beginning and was pleased you shared your flying journey. I to recently earned a PPL and have a 182. Maybe we will see each other at a flyin someday

[@JoseRivera-lt2cc]

Very well presented flight plan over view - job well done.

[@ChrisJohnson-of8fh]

Jesse thanks for sharing this information! I know it doesn't interest a huge part of your viewers but I personally loved it. I've watched all your flying videos and enjoy every minute, please keep them coming!

[@randy9046]

What are fees for owning a plane, landing/servicing plane at airports?

[@chrismcgowan5180]

Watching this video, I conclude, Yes owning and flying a plane is cool, but is is definitely not practical and not worth it. That being said if you are passionate and having a plane makes you happy and safe, then finances and practicality comes second to that!

[@pssryan]

Instrument rated private pilot.....this was a great video showing your detailed planning process and what goes into taking a flight. Stay safe and happy flying!

[@Cameronsutubes]

6.30 am in New Zealand BEST 45 min watching your flight planning , learnt a bit

[@FrugalBuilding]

Even with all the new wiz-bang electronic devices for flight planning and flying I still prefer the paper charts, as they give you the "Big picture" as well as the necessary details instead of just the current window of where you are in the moment in a moving map. And like Jesse said no batteries required.

[@lesleyharris3198]

Hi, how did your 2 passengers do on the flights?

[@arthurcollins8209]

When the house going to get finished

[@Sesserros]

never

[@stan.rarick8556]

@@Sesserros even after it is finished, it won't be finished (You know this if you've ever been a home owner)

[@arthurcollins8209]

I owned 5 homes and they all were finished i worked two job's

[@carstengrove6214]

Great video man, learned a handful thanks

[@lloyddahlen1141]

Thanks again for sharing your info thanks 👍🇺🇸

[@ronbattiston2468]

Thanks Jesse and Alyssa. I have been watching your videos for about three years and learn something new on each one. Excellent videos and music and stories and information. Thanks!

[@Scott___T]

Would love to see a more in depth private pilot video; detailing the ins and outs of the flying community

[@proehm]

"...Can get on the ground if we have to." - A friend took lessons years ago and told his instructor he was concerned about landings. The instructor told him "Don't worry, you will land."

[@mattivirta]

yes,no need worry ewerythink what go to up, come sure down too. no matter.

[@henrysohbatian6405]

Haha, how funny, i was in Bishop last weekend, camped up at Convict Lake. Eric Shats's bakery is also a must. The Cheese bread is epic.

[@robmechanic]

Very interesting information. I’ve always wanted to fly but never had the money to do it.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I haven't either ... but, I found I could afford a paramotor, so I bought one. All is not lost! 😉

[@randylinn502]

When is Cessna 337 gonna get a avionics upgrade? Just watched video of a Cessna 310 getting his avionics upgrade (310PILOT), and it's beautiful.....

[@thtadthtshldntbe]

How the heck does a nice video, where a dude explains and takes us through how he does a flight plan, get so many dislikes. Ill never understand it.

[@justinjenkins4337]

Skidmarks strike again! Lol

[@jedidiah5131]

I'll never understand why people comment about the dislikes!

[@mattivirta]

i dream can someday fly little plane Finland to Thailand, only 9000 km, trip.

[@zippythechicken]

I would not want to fly over those countries.

[@waltertriest7811]

no interest in aviation

[@Raysnature]

Really interesting video from none pilot perspective.

[@scottpiette]

Fore flight is a great program......

[@mathbrown9099]

Jess, you’ve been well taught, and would teach well, yourself. I’m an old educator and you’ve taught a cogent, at-level (beginners, ok) lesson. Nicely done, Capt. I imagine Civil Air Patrol could use your particular method of instruction useful to young men and women. My best friend was a CAP member, soloed and got his “wings” at 16. Then flew 16’s in the G-war I. Now a retiring Capt. at a big airline. CAP can make life happen.

[@catherinecooper2360]

Very interesting, Jesse. I've wanted to get my pilots license for quite some time, so you have given me a chunk of understanding I didn't have before--THANKS! Safe travel!!

[@stan.rarick8556]

"Crop circles" - signs of alien life? ;-)

[@mikeferris8033]

Where did you get your sun glasses!

[@MichaelKilby]

Congrats! When are you going to introduce us to Jr?

[@alcova53]

You used to be interesting when build your house, now without the major house building...you just another youtuber flapping your gums

[@WestonPullen]

Great video. I am not a pilot, but always wanted to, so it has been very interesting to watch you get your license as well as plan trips.

[@htmagic]

Jesse, our late friend was a private pilot. I flew with him several times. And he never shared any of the info that you shared. Had he shared, I might have had more incentive to become a private pilot. This is fascinating info based all upon physics!

[@tonybeaman2070]

Great video ,

[@byronlindsted1264]

Are you going to get your instrument rating eventually?

[@ChazToz]

Another great video Guys. I've been watching you since Oregon. At 70 years old I really enjoy the house build, tool reviews, 'off' grid living, AND flying subjects. Keep the videos coming. (Oh... and pay no heed to skidmarks)

[@timhaynes4967]

Thanks for this insight. It was really interesting guys.

[@elbobo100]

funny how flight planning always takes longer than the flight

[@roscoesmaintenanceservicel5277]

to be airplane pilot, otr trucker, or captain of ship you must know how to do your weight, mapping

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Great info! Thanks! 👍🍻

[@1d1hamby]

How many trees are you planting to fight CO2?

[@mattivirta]

no matter, i want use plane were has big big bad diesel what smoke lot haha no true newer matter how much co2 has.

[@Patschenkino]

CO₂ is life. There is no need to fight it.

[@mattivirta]

@@Patschenkino need fly and use diesel car lot lot, because all vegetables,trees,flower,etc need co2 and need life co2 then vegetables can make oxygen for we life. if no have co2 no have oxygen we.

[@jedidiah5131]

d...How many trees are you planting?

[@1d1hamby]

As many as possible.

[@molinaribp]

Thank you for doing this. I love watching Trent and the gang but I love seeing the planning that goes in to a long flight, less entertaining but more interesting for me.

[@brunkesbackyardgardening8638]

Very similar planning driving a big truck lol

[@bryansmith5082]

Nice video Jesse. Thanks. Looking forward to your videos of the trip!

[@critter9a]

can you play with the fuel levels with small airports fueling stops to make up for weight differences?

[@FlashPerformance]

I fly commercially alot for work alot, it is amazing to think about everything that goes into preparing a flight. Thanks for the insite.

[@flyinggyros9745]

I haven’t flown or used ForeFlight for several years. It was nice to see it again. Thanks for the tour. I saw this was a couple of months ago. Happy future flying. Alan

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

you can't see a forest fire from a plane?

[@mattivirta]

why need see forest fire ??? no matter have fire or not, newermind if ALL forest fire end.

[@cenmarr]

It's hard to see waterbombers flying into and out of the smoke and avoid mid-air collisions with them, so the FAA tells other pilots to avoid these areas, hence the term "temporary flight restrictions".

[@bboomer7th]

I’m only three minutes in to the vid, and I am completely engaged.

[@flyboy6876]

I usually do not like to fly with someone unless I am pilot in command, but after your briefing, I would fly with you

[@clmierau]

Found this interesting. Flying is something I always toyed with but not in my future so I'll watch you ! :)

[@dougyurecko6500]

Great video and information

[@timcanterbury9738]

Clear and Present Danger - Harrison Ford- Do you have any time in this type? Pilot- (looks at watch) Nine o'clock.

[@stan.rarick8556]

Visiting the Bristlecone Pines? I've driven to the Patriarch Grove at 11,190' (according to online sources) I've canoed the Owens River (@44:33) out of Bishop. The view from Grandview campground is ... ummm .... grand. :-) (8600 ft alt) I hope you enjoyed the flight!

[@ericrichards5862]

My longest flight OAK CA. to Becks Grove, NY in an Aeronca Champ 7DC following the Iron compass for most of our navigation. 3 days

[@mikeferris8033]

Really interesting video, thanks.

[@garyarmstrong4597]

Thanks Guys a great video.💯

[@robertallen7106]

way cool and very inforative

[@donaldsmith3048]

I don't know if you know about "Aviation 101" He goes through the things you talk about. He also has some great vidios. He made a flight from Florida to California with video of much of the flight. air video of the Grand Canyon, and many other things. One of the things I like about his videos is that he is not afraid to point out the things he does wrong! He also went to Alaska and took lessons with float plane, and did a lot of video of things in Alaska! He is a CFII that pushes always learning more!

[@petereldred735]

Awesome video learnt something, thank you

[@justbe4481]

You should hire a professional to take you there.

[@totherarf]

First ... Why? Second ..... if you saw the load balance you would see adding an extra body makes it not possible!

[@motor2of7]

Agree, why? That’s what he spent the time and money to learn to do.

[@lisaineastcentralohio6805]

Borning

[@TeddyRux20]

Yeah cuz people want to watch u sew lol

[@lisaineastcentralohio6805]

No, just don't want to hear b blah blah blah.

[@L1vR-1948]

thanks ! ! !

[@jeffreymurdock8366]

I will take a 1000 mile flight any day rather than drive 2000 miles in 3 days and I say that because I've done just that.

[@stan.rarick8556]

I drove Chicago to LA solo in 72 hours, including 24 hours down time (and all at 55mph). I didn't fly because my arms get too tired

[@Dr.Gunsmith]

Wow your plane is just as old as me 😂

[@FriendM2010]

Nice ending to video, a dad gum cliffhanger .... 🤔 👍

[@flyboy6876]

been there done that with paper charts, I'm a predigital pilot

[@chiefof]

Excellent! Clear explanations of, to me, interesting stuff and great videography. It would be nice to know the date of your departure.

[@mobiousenigma]

i forget the regs for altitude and oxygen weather its 12 or 14 thou for have to be on but i do recall a recommendation for use of o2 @10 000 for more than 30 min ..personally with allergies and frequently clogged eustation tubes i prefer under 5000 as the pain is tolerable and dosnt last as long . oxyemia is not supposed to be easy to detect with the further downside of adding to the probability of making poor decisions and imparing reactions. so many factors to choosing a route made even harder with the knowledge you cant pull over @10 000 to retie the tarp over the luggage rack lol but also so much safer because you cant and maintence says it should be mechanically reliable under normal operation. and as always thanks for the video

[@mobiousenigma]

i gotta learn to watch to the end before commenting ;]

[@waderue]

when planning a trip and you said 5 hours so 2.5 hours in or so you stop for potty and snack and re fuel and check fluids break so i would plan for 6 hours , but that just me lol

[@trailanpatterson3316]

Hey guys am I the only one who peeped this is the new born first time on the airplane

[@benhutchison8701]

More videos like this please!!!

[@mikejf4377]

Very interesting video.

[@doubledarefan]

When planning a drive, you still have to mind weight. Overload a car, and you're asking for trouble. Fuel economy goes out the tailpipe. A crash that might result in a broken bone would instead end far worse. Stopping distance increases. So, if you're planning to laminate your living room floor, don't pick up a living room's worth of laminate all at once, unless your vehicle is designed to handle the load.

[@flyboy6876]

I want that 337 sitting behind your airplane Jesse

[@ThatPilotDude]

Flyboy68 you don’t want that one. Besides just recently landing gear up, I watched all the wiring melt after an old codger forgot to turn the alternators on.

[@altonwren7890]

Jesse today you was talkin down my alley I love aviation and anything to do with planes I have done a lot of flying in my lifetime but only as a passenger the only time I was a pilot was in a hot air balloon I even had a chance to fly in a blimp one time

[@davesmewing2534]

Very interesting.

Don’t let people know the dates this is happening......just so some kook doesn’t break into your home while it is unattended.

[@heatherbegs]

Joanne McMurray I’m sure this happened months ago and just uploading video now!

Joanne McMurray These videos are usually released well after actual event so departure date info would not be useful to a criminal.
