Busy Chicago Midway Arrival & Approach - CJ4

[@Flightle]

Oh my gosh, the controller with the "HAVE A BEAUUUUUTIFUL WEEK" is awesome. I've heard her many times. What a small world.

[@bradnutter41]

She sounds like the wife of KZbinr “310pilot” check it out

[@danc2353]

You speak at a nice pace, easier to understand and follow, then other you tube pilots. Thanks for your patience, and understanding, , Easier to see and hear what’s going on in the cockpit. Can’t wait for your next one. !

[@TheRunwayRyan]

That is high praise, thank you for watching!

[@gsemak1744]

RR, this has been very helpful to see instrument flights put into action. I had to pause my IFR training but watching your videos is keeping me engaged and excited to complete my IFR rating and continue on. I'm coming into the aviation world as an older adult, so this is career 2.0 and you are helping me to keep my skills up.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

It was a second career for me too, so keep on trucking!

[@daywalker5458]

I just LUV your CJ4 videos.... you and CitationMax. You two are so great for my MSFS2020 CJ4 flying. If I could doing it all again as I am plus 70 years of age. I would be a CJ4 pilot.....

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thanks for watching!

[@leokimvideo]

wow, you put that lady down like a feather

[@TheRunwayRyan]

I try!

[@rogerparadise]

Lately I've been flying the CJ4 in Microsoft Flight Sim, so this was very cool to see a professional pilot take us through the details of an approach. Thanks for posting this!

[@TheRunwayRyan]

You’re welcome, glad you liked it!

[@jesussuarez6074]

I have been based out of ORD several times in my career but have flown to MDW many times from other places. I love the look of the lake and downtown. It is unique. Although in the old days the circle approach landing south was always challenging. Keep enjoying and great videos..

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thanks for watching!

[@randyeno2525]

Ryan, loved this full length arrival video. Great for IFR procedural understanding even for us piston IFR pilots. Please keep doing this type of content in addition to your other great mix of content. Thanks!

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thank you! I used to love these types of videos as well when I couldn’t fly enough to truly stay IFR proficient.

[@loucuevas3867]

Hi Ryan. I’m a airline aircraft lead mechanic for over 50 years, and I loved your Midway approach video. First time viewer, but will be looking for more. Thanks.

[@jonasblane2157]

Very well done sir. I'm learning from you and many others. We're very privileged to have this content on youtube.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thank you very much, glad it can help you out!

[@stevemercure902]

Way back in the 90's I had a job as an engineer that requird me to fly into Midway several times a month. However, I never got to look at what the airport looked like on approach. Thank you for this view.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thanks for watching!

[@joelee4796]

Awesome video Ryan! I am just a student pilot working on my PPL, but the calm, measured demeanor you have explaining such a complex task is amazing. You are clearly a pilot who works to master your craft and that’s why I’m a subscriber sir. Blue skies, maybe someday I can right seat for you…

[@normanpaterson]

Great video, I'm a VFR pilot trained out of KMDW, I learned a thing or two about IFR flying in this, thanks!

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thank you! That's the only way to do it single pilot

[@bradnutter41]

Wow,single pilot and still able to talk to your viewers and stay ahead of the aircraft, your ability to be so calm and your voice is perfect so calm and clear, so much to do on that approach, obviously not everyone including me could do that. New to your channel. The one female controller at beginning sounds like the wife of youtuber 310 pilot.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thanks for watching!

SWA does those approaches into DAL. Its an amazing approach, retired dfw controller

[@jetpropjustin1]

I’d love to meet that controller that told you to have a beautiful weekend. She’s always super nice! Another great video!

Thank you for sharing coming into Chicago here!! We had snow last night so ground stops and cancellations were at Midway and O'Hare last night Friday 1/12/2024.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

It looked like a mess!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

@@TheRunwayRyan And this is only light snowing that we had here just the last couple of days. We went through December with almost no snow. I think we two or three days of light snow last month. Now today, Saturday 1/13/2024, this afternoon is about 24 degrees and the main streets are clear here in the city. O'Hara and Midway are not hitting the news channels with a crisis report yet!!! So, we are ok here in Chicago!! 😂 Hahaha!

Great video! I was based at KMDW in the 737-800 for years, and have returned many times in our Citation. With the walls around it, I always equate Midway to a one square mile prison yard. The only good thing? Giordano's deep dish across the street!

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thank you, guess I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to be when I grow up!

[@jonkrispeterson6678]

I have never seen one of your videos. I am not a pilot, but occasionally sat in the right seat of our company King Air, because I was the smallest passenger and someone had to sit there. When we switched to flying Citations, our CEO required 2 pilots, and they were required to to have oxygen masks on while flying. Mostly in response to the Payne Stewart tragedy. It was a retail company, and after the Bruno’s grocery plane crash in the 90’s, they wouldn’t put all senior executives on one plane.

Another beautiful landing well done sir

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Many thanks!

[@RadarCornflakes]

Great video. First time seeing this channel. It really shows how much workload is on your side of the mic. One small quibble -- ATC told you to contact Midway Tower at MNDOE and you switched early. That can lead to problems sometimes if we notice an overtake or some other situation and we can't resolve it since you left the frequency. Just be careful with that. Keep up the good work.

Ive had a pilot try and climb into another aircraft because of a tcas alert. Had to scream for him to stop his climb and issue traffic. There was a departure climbing fast up into him. However the tcas doesnt know that the departure was restricted 1000 ft below him. There was another aircraft 1000 above him. That was what he was climbing into.

Hi Ryan, would love to see a detailed explanation of the restrictions such as the one starting at 10:40. I thought if you were IFR, you didn't have to worry about VFR airspaces. Thanks.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

We do indeed still have to meet all of the speed restrictions. It applies to the airspace as a whole, regardless of which rules you are flying under (IFR/VFR).

Great video man!! So Midway, La Guardia and San Diego are notorious for really short runways and very busy airspace respectfully. So my question is what other challenges do they possess? Also, what advice would you give someone who wants to get their (PPL) Private Pilots License? I want to get my PPL which is why I ask. Thanks for your time sir!

I really enjoyed learning from your flows, ADMs and overall mentality Ryan during this one. The CJ4 comes by default in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. I use your vlogs as great examples to learn from. More please! (eg. detailed startup flows, explaining the ahrs panel, fmc programming tricks)

[@billcope8252]

Livin da dream

[@LostButMakingGoodTime]

Having watched tons of almost all dual-pilot business jet videos, the biggest thing I noticed right off is how much head down time there is for a single pilot. I realize this is heavily edited but the amount of time spent inside was shocking. And extra bits done for sharing with the YT audience only added to it. Makes me squirm. I’ve seen accidents avoided because good CRM with a two-person crew meant someone always had their head outside.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Welcome aboard!

[@lancemcclung3991]

Will you help settle an issue? During engine out emergency procedures in a jet, is turning in the direction of the dead engine still a consideration?

[@TheRunwayRyan]

With tail mounted engines like this, there is no discussion about that. I think it may make a greater difference on an airliner with a wing mounted engine,

[@freds5619]

Good job of staying ahead of the airplane.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

I’ve been flying the CJ4 on Microsoft flight sim and it’s slowing becoming my favorite plane! So cool to see this arrival, thanks for this inside view and I hope to see more! Quick question if you don’t mind, do you own the aircraft?

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Thanks for watching! No, I don’t own the aircraft. I am a professional pilot, so I fly these for the owners. I wish I owned it though!

[@MichaelFairburn]

Nice video, would be nice to have a view straight ahead rather than over your left shoulder though, it’s pretty hard to see anything. I subscribed hoping to see more like this 😊

Are you in any way associated or work for Foreflight? Why the callsign?

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Not associated, just a great product that I use. ForeFlight offers the service of being able to use callsigns like this to block a tail number and allow for some privacy. Just like a DotCom callsign, except this one is assigned to me instead of the airplane.

[@danc2353]

What’s the difference between RNAV Y, and the one you executed, Z. ? Why is yankee more for airlines, and why do pilots need special qualification for “y”

[@TheRunwayRyan]

The RNAV Y is an RNP approach, which stands for required navigation performance. The aircraft has to be certified to do the approach, the crew has to be certified to do it, and they have to receive recurrent training on it. . . At least to my knowledge. It’s not something we do in corporate. There are a few corporate operators out there that are capable I’m sure, but not many.

[@thomasg4324]

*Not even a barrel role.* (sigh)

[@Spanikopita]

Serious questions, I notice a lot of you guys like to fly high performance GA jets single pilot for your videos, why is that? Are you concerned what could happen if you have a medical issue and there’s no one there to get you on the ground safely? Obviously if it’s a massive heart attack you’re not going to survive, but what if it’s a minor stroke and you’re unable to fly the airplane and you basically just watch yourself run out of fuel until you crash? Are you concerned that you need some help to alleviate some of the busy work in the cockpit while you’re in the terminal environment? Also, I notice you take your little girl on some of these flights single pilot and that just doesn’t seem like a responsible idea since you’re essentially risking her life and yours without the redundancy of a qualified first officer in the airplane. I promise I’m not trying to be a dick or anything, I’m just genuinely interested in the reasoning.

[@TheRunwayRyan]

Well, that's just the way it is. One of the biggest benefits to the owners of a single pilot aircraft is the flexibility. I see what you are saying about taking my kids along, but it could happen in the truck on the highway too. I know you are more likely to survive a crash that way, but bad things can happen anywhere. We try to let my babies experience as much as they can! I also keep a first class medical certificate, so there are pretty stringent guidelines for that. Additionally I do a full health screening along with CT scans every few years.
