I love that your videos center around the instrumentation, procedural explanations, and the view outside. Where other flight videos make the pilot the star, you get out of the way and let the flight be the star. In doing so, you reveal the true beauty of flight. Also, I love the quad-view presentation on take off and landing. Please keep the videos coming.

[@TheFlightLevel]

Absolutely agree! Loved that quad view on take off!

[@bernardanderson3758]

Grant I’ve been away but I’m glad to see you and your Bride flying together and love every moment and May God blessed you both and Merry Christmas

[@GrantBaker]

Thanks Bernard! God bless and merry Christmas to you as well!

[@BroadcasterDougSantelli]

If you’re looking to explore a place you may have never been before, Green Bay, WI. I work at the finest FBO with the lowest gas prices and hangar prices! Jet Air is the gateway to Lambeau Field and we would love to have you visit!!

[@softreset82]

Dude, I'm loving the 4-pack on takeoff. Wonderful addition. Loving the content, so happy the channel is growing so quickly. Always enjoy watching your content. Happy holidays to you and the family!

[@GrantBaker]

Thanks Jason! I’d have had the 4-pack on landing too, but I had the dash camera on ship power and didn’t shut it down before shutting the plane down, and it was lost. Merry Christmas!

[@davidcaruthers1152]

You do a great job on your video. Also good to see you take the family when you can. Safe flying

[@GizmoRob176]

Always great flight videos. Thank you.

[@gtr1952]

A good friend of mine is a home care nurse, she gave me an 02 sensor similar to yours and I use it all the time. About 7 years ago a local pilot here at KROC and his wife were going to Florida in their TBM_750. The 02 system failed somewhere over PA and they both became hypoxic. The military scrambled F16's as they were headed south around Washington. They escorted the TBM, that was on autopilot, all the way to south Florida off the coast where it ran out of fuel and went down in the ocean. A very sad situation that deeply affected everyone here in the pilot community.. Hypoxia is very real, and very dangerous! $20-$40 for an 02 sensor is cheap insurance to save your life. I wish everyone had one, and used it!! Sorry for the sad story, if it helps 1 person though it was worth it. --gary

[@GrantBaker]

Gary, I remember that accident. If I remember right, that’s partially what prompted TBM to develop their auto descent system in a depressurization event.

[@williammccomis7042]

Another fantastic video! Thanks, Grant! Glad you enjoyed beautiful AZ.

[@GrantBaker]

Thanks William!

[@flacodebuenosaires]

Wonderful !!! 🏆👌🧿👀✈👍🏼

[@marktaylor8263]

Grant, great cam angles. Was a very clear flight lots of scenery and good music choice during time lapse. I appreciate your professionalism and if you ever have a bumpy landing I will be surprised. Thanks for these videos allowing us to share your flights. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to you and your family.

[@vanallen9453]

..thanks again Grant..now flying along with nearly 4K subscribers..Merry Christmas & Holidays..and keep em coming..

[@LincolnMolin]

Great video and great tip about the O2 monitor.

Thanks for walking this pilot hopeful through your takeoffs every time. I feel like I pick up on something new with each video.

[@GrantBaker]

Glad to hear it! And thanks for the comment for the algorithm. 😜

[@bernardanderson3758]

Looking forward to seeing you on the Ramp one day in 2022

Ditto on the positive comments. Really appreciate your continued efforts to bring us high quality informational, procedural but entertaining videos. Merry Christmas to you and your wife. 🎄

[@GrantBaker]

Thanks Randy, merry Christmas to you too!

[@LT81baller]

Please do visit us again Grant!! I hope you enjoyed your visit!. If I am around next time you're in I will be sure to come up and say hello. We definitely have been super busy this holiday season with both Netjets and the CAA contract. Safe flying good sir.

[@marcf2466]

Another great one Grant, I did have to laugh at the 'you and your challenges' comment though, keep up the great work.

[@GrantBaker]

Thanks Marc!

[@chadgriffith5819]

What a machine, 80 on final and 1000.....like a lil cherokee.

[@GrantBaker]

Yeah it’s awesome!

[@MrSuzuki1187]

Get your IFR clearance BEFORE ENGINE START! Then program the FMS without burning fuel and without the noise of the engine. This way you can analyze the route, set up your avionics, and radios at your leisure.

[@sqvisionnl]

Your videos get better and better Grant. Great to see the PFD-view. Next time just fly into Payson and drive to Phoenix instead. Much cheaper and way more fun!

[@GrantBaker]

Thanks Gabor!

[@MsMsmak]

So...you walk over to the plane, get in close the door, and ...then open the door and get out and retrieve he camera that took that shot...and then walk back and get in...and close the door. You should include that part for laughs...like "oops I forgot that camera!"....

[@GrantBaker]

🤣 I might have to do that some day!

[@MsMsmak]

@@GrantBaker Hahah! Great vid btw...

Great video. Next time land at 17K in Oklahoma panhandle and go to Black Mesa and hike to where the dinosaur track are fossilized. Neat area.

[@GrantBaker]

That would be really cool to see!

[@kp4918]

Much smart. Such handsome.

[@Limbwalker1000]

That was a greaser Grant - such a smooth landing in your Pilatus....I hope that I spelled it right....Stay safe and Merry Xmas to the both of you..!!

[@GrantBaker]

Thanks, merry Christmas to you as well!

[@Limbwalker1000]

@@GrantBaker Thanks Grant..!!

[@Limbwalker1000]

Quick Question Grant....Is that a Turboprop...??

[@oneshotjohn1]

Steven, I know you probably did not intentionally do it on purpose.. let's keep Christ in Christmas and not X Him out. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@GrantBaker]

Yep! It’s got a PT6A-67P engine.

[@crazyhumpy]

Great video! I like the camera placement, being able to monitor speed while you land. Was 75 IAS pretty low for a full flaps landing or is it usually that slow?

[@GrantBaker]

I usually see around 80, but I also usually land with 30° flaps. We were also pretty light with just two people onboard after 5hrs of flying.

[@crazyhumpy]

@@GrantBaker Makes sense, thanks! Didn't even think about fuel and pax.

[@gama1123]

Hi Grant, great video as usual! Question for you, isn't that plane pressurized? Can't you set the cabin altitude to whatever level you'd like? Thanks.

[@GrantBaker]

Yes, it is pressurized, but you can’t always have it at sea level. You’re limited by the maximum differential pressure.

[@gama1123]

@@GrantBaker ah, I see... thanks!

[@nathanaller1602]

Can you make a video explaining the performance charts and power settings you use please. That would be a great help

[@GrantBaker]

I’m pretty sure I have discussed how I set power in at least one video. I use the PC-12 Calculator app from Pilatus and set max cruise torque from that.

[@nathangraham9152]

With the PC-12NG being my favourite Turboprop, I'm so happy I came across your channel. Awesome video!!

[@GrantBaker]

Thanks Nathan, glad to have you here!

[@JordanBadji]

Hello, thanks for these wonderful videos! Could you please just add a bit of cockpit noise? I think it would be a little more immersive :)

[@GrantBaker]

I record with a mic inside my headset earcup, so this is exactly what it sounds like in the airplane. It’s pretty quiet with the Bose headsets! 🙂

[@JordanBadji]

Oh ok, I see. And what about the sound from the video recorded with the GoPro on the middle right side? It could be extracted to serve as a background additional noise

[@billkrokoship]

Niice

[@born2xplore211]

Nicely done Cpt Baker. Btw, out of curiosity how do you control the other Go pros you are using for your various views, are you engaging them individual by hand? On a side note, that is crazy you burned 2000lbs over 5 hrs...i burn more then that in my first hr of flight :D

[@GrantBaker]

Thank you sir! Yeah she’s a pretty efficient bird. I just saw on the owner forum that somebody took one from TX to Spain in two stops! 😯 I don’t use the app, just reach over and push go.

[@ryangreene1689]

Peep my supervisor in the background of your intro and the other Ryan marshaling you guys out

[@garymfra3962]

Great job! Is your wife a pilot too?

[@GrantBaker]

Thanks Gary! No she isn’t a pilot, but she likes flying with me.

[@anthonyvega1959]

Hey there, when you say Goshen, is that Goshen new york

[@GrantBaker]

Nope, Indiana

[@anthonyvega1959]

@@GrantBaker thank you

[@davidd6635]

Cya both at 8

[@rowanditcham9617]

Can you lower your cabin altitude

[@GrantBaker]

The airplane schedules the pressurization automatically. It does have a “Low Cabin” option which forces the schedule to use max differential pressure and could lower the cabin a few hundred feet depending on what the pressurization was already set by the schedule.

[@clarencewiles963]

I understand women are more likely to have an issue with hypoxia. That’s a good point about having a meter and checking.

[@GrantBaker]

Hmm I haven’t ever heard of a difference between men and women, but lung diseases and smoking make people more susceptible to it.

[@clarencewiles963]

@@GrantBaker I was on an other channel Baron Pilot, and Kim had an issue at 9,000 I think it was. They had like a big round table discussion on the fact that as it turns out women are more susceptible to having an issue. About a year ago I think the video was.

[@JoeSmith-hu6nb]

As a pilot I thought it was not a smart idea to "challenge" yourself in landing short. That one day will end your life. I don't mean to be harsh. I have lost a pilot buddy because he said he wanted to land short. Be very careful with those "challenges."

[@GrantBaker]

I’m sorry to hear that Joe. As I stated before starting the approach, airspeed awareness is vital in a short field landing maneuver. I think challenging yourself is a good thing, but you’re right to say to be careful when exploring closer to the edges of the performance envelope of either yourself or the plane.
