STEC 3100: VFR Maneuvers/Envelope Protection/Level Functions

Jaime and I demonstrate how to use the STEC 3100 for VFR maneuvers/flight, how the envelope protection feature works and how the straight/level function can keep a pilot safe. We then fly to Clow International Airport (1C5) in Bolingbrook, Illinois for breakfast/to meet a friend.

Hi Kevin and Jamie, A small fortune well spent. That is a really nice system. Take care, Be safe.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Wow, that neighborhood was packed in worse than the Northeast here! I'd lose my mind living that close to people - waaay too much drama for me! The entire city of Worcester over here in MA is like that, only most buildings are well over 100 years old, with alot of 3-deckers mixed in. People there complain about KORH all the time - it's a wonder it's still open. I wouldn't mind living in that house at the end of the runway there, though - you must've been 50' above its roof. 😁 That "level" feature has to be the best thing I've ever seen. I've watched alot of KZbin vids about tragic ends to VFR into IMC - that one feature would've saved all their lives! I can't wrap my head around how powerful the electronics are today. Good stuff! Great info, Kevin! And great radio work as always, Jamie. 👍 Now I've got the word "Clow" repeating in my head endlessly - I'll be saying it the rest of the day as I work ... 🤣

[@310Pilot]

I'm with you Smitty...that is way too close for me. I can't wait till my nearest neighbor has a hard time hearing my shotgun go off from the back porch. :) A LOT of lives would have been saved in aviation if everyone had the STEC 3100 and used it appropriately. Glad it's here now and we have it....loving it. Ha ha....Clow, Clow, Clow, Clow

[@SmittySmithsonite]

@@310Pilot - I hear that, brother! HAHAHA! That's exactly what I was just doing out in the shop ... Clow Clow Clow Clow ... 🤣

[@wannabetowasabe]

One thing that people who haven't used a radio ("two way" as it is known) very much is how you develop the ability to tune out a lot of the traffic. I worked a career where there was a radio on my belt every time I walked out the back door of the ranger station. I could talk to others face to face, observe, record, analyze, do manual labor and a number of other tasks and have the radio going all the time. My brain could distinguish what I needed to hear from the majority of the traffic I didn't need to hear. Sometimes I had to work 6 day weeks at 12 or more hours per day, which required being able to power nap for a half hour during lunch. The radio would be on the whole time and I would sort of hear it. If something came over the air that concerned me or someone called me I would wake up in an instant and respond to incidents within a few seconds. My ride alongs would ask how I could do this. I'm not sure, but I think it is just exposure to the situation and practice.

[@StanBarankiewicz]

Aw, the food shot--nice touch!

[@310Pilot]

Ha ha...I remembered this time!

[@garydell2023]

The food looked good oh and the flight was informative. Makes me want to put in a auto pilot but then I'd get bored. There was something else I wanted to mention but I will have to wait for part 2.

[@310Pilot]

I'm enjoying being bored for a bit. Having flown a pretty fair amount the past 20 years without one for 99% of the time, I'm enjoying the time to look around, talk with Jaime and plan further out. Part 2 will be fun I think...just gotta finish editing it. :)

[@randyporter3491]

There are countless things to love about these two and this channel. Jamie and Kevin represent fun, quality time together and a love for aviation. Jamie is a stunning and fun example of what all pilots would love to have riding right seat. Kevin is a great pilot, with a touch of southern charm and handsome looks, (according to my wife), who has become as big of a fan of the channel as I am. Just a great couple, that everyone would like to have as friends. Plus, you HAVE to like and respect a man who has a beloved, favorite hat and wears it with affection. Clean, dirty, crisp or tattered...same hat. Now, he may have a newer “dress” version, for special occasions and after six, but likely not. This clearly shows a genuine, “what you see, is what you get” guy, who doesn’t try to impress anyone and always goes at his own pace. The right side visor is proof of that, lol! But this is what I love about these two. They represent something we can all relate to a laugh about and things we admire and aspire to. Just my thoughts and another big “thank you !” to Kevin and Jamie, for making me smile with each video. Safe skies guys ! 🇺🇸🛫

[@310Pilot]

Thank you very much for the nice comments Randy! We truly appreciate the support we receive here and we're glad to put out something that others can enjoy. We are what you see is what you get. I don't have enough creativity to put on a show. :)

[@randyporter3491]

John Yoder Thanks John, I appreciate that. I’ve been meaning to say this for some time, but as a pilot, I usually wind up commenting on everything else. This time I wanted to say what you, I and most all viewers think about these two, most likely, so thank you.

[@brianmoore5498]

nice one. that 360 with the vs glued on zero made me want to tap the glass to see if it was stuck. cool split screen. that saratoga was a real mess. summer day, dwindling light, temp/ dewpoint spread closes and bang its no longer haze its IFR. i was taught wandering into IFR that if you’re trimmed right and disoriented try letting go and see if it will fly. or bring throttle to zero and trim all the way back and you just might survive the crash!

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Brian! I've flown with a few different autopilots but I'm really amazed at how well the 3100 nails things. I've heard the same method you described being recommended if in serious trouble...especially in 172/182/pa28 type airframes. Honestly the best method is to get a capable autopilot. :)

Although she would be starting from scratch and is probably scared of the mean ATC personal. Lol. Food looked pretty awesome where you were at as well. Have a great rest of the week and great future flying.

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Mark...glad you enjoyed it! I'm loving that autopilot more and more after each flight! It is a lot easier with Jaime on the radios considering her ATC side but I bet you can start your wife off slow and get her into it. May be fun for her and keep her more engaged. :)

Thank you, Kevin and Jamie. Great video as usual. In my first comment I wrote on one of your first Videos I watched of yours.I wrote about a father and daughter who flew off of Nantucket ,who I flew With many times. I was always impressed with her professionalism. Taking my luggage out to The plane. Her captain’s uniform and flying in December from new York to Nantucket in the Dark with what she said was ice breaking off of the wings. I never really appreciated Her knowledge and her ability until this video.I wish I knew what kind of plane it was. The only thing I knew It was a twin and had a few seats in back. After watching your video I recall her voice being Calm over the radio.. I was nervous but she did not appear to be nervous at all.I will always remember the noise of the ice, the flight being a little bouncy and her seeming to enjoy how she could light up the runway by keying her mic. It was like let there be light.and her being so calm. Again thank you for the memories. It would be very educational if you could take us up for a short night flight. Thank you for showing us breakfast. Sincerely B.R.

[@310Pilot]

You're welcome Bill....glad to take you back to fond memories! Sounds like she was a great pilot. I'm guessing based on the description that she was flying Cessna 402's? Maybe google it and see if it looks right. That is/was the main plane being flown on those routes up there. We are due a night flight....haven't made a night video since our flight into MDW I think. :)

[@davez325]

Another fantastic demo, thanks Kevin and Jaime!. One item that disturbed me was the proximity and number of the homes to the runway on final. The planners should have made that a green belt because, eventually, there will be a catastrophe.

[@highkicker11]

Darn mate you should visit europe someday airports that used to be way out side of town now almost center just because of expansion.

[@randyporter3491]

The more you show about that 3100, the more impressive it gets ! Love the demos and explanations on this video. The precision of the digital vs rate-based (like the older S-TEC 55) attitude sensors is evident. I like the fact that you can also have it connected to an external servo, for a backup. Definitely has the G600 beat in several areas. Any pilot who gets disoriented, would give 20k JUST for the “level” feature !

[@310Pilot]

Just happy to be able to show it off to others that are thinking about their own upgrades or just other interested people. It truly is an huge improvement over the past rate based ones. Your last sentence couldn't' be more true!

Wonder the Home Owner's Insurance Cost for the Houses on Short Final - Another Great Video. I agree with you analysis of VFR over the ocean at night highly recommending a IR. This weekend I flew back from 5B2 to MJX and was VFR on top of a cloud deck at 6,500 with zero ground reference. All I could trust is tracking the VOR/GPS Magenta line. Makes sense why Private requires some instrument training, but after that flight I enjoyed flying based on instrument navigation so much I'm trying to pay off private and hop right into instrument

I soloed at Clow in 1980, it was in the middle of nowhere back then. You should drop in, or even drive over, for the fly-In, Cavalcade of Planes on the first weekend of June (Google it). We used to meet up for breakfast at Charlie's (Clow's restaurant) every few Sunday mornings for many years. I'll add to the flying over water (Lake Michigan) at night. I once had 2 or 3 drinks within a little less than an hour before I took off to fly over the south end of the lake, at about the same time I hit 4000' I felt drunk. Lesson learned real quick, I turned around and back to Mdw never to do that again. Ever hear I'd rather be on the ground wishing I was flying than flying and wishing I was on the ground, yeah, like that. Be nice if you fix Jamie's sun visor like you keep promising. Maybe we should start a GoFundMe and take care of it ourselves.

[@310Pilot]

Hard to imagine that area not all grown up. Guess I know of a lot of places back where I grew up that are the same way. I'll have to look up that fly-in and try to get it on the calendar. I see single engines fly over the lake day and night...much braver than me. That water is way too cold...even in the summer. 2 people in a Comanche perished this year crossing with an engine failure in the middle. I've had new Rosen Sun Visors sitting in the box for months. I'm not legally allowed to do it...my shop (who ran out of time last time) said they will do it in a couple weeks. Can't wait.

Very nice video explaining the flight envelope and auto pilot. Garmin may be the best selling A/P but I love your STEC 3100. You are absolutely right about a VFR pilot flying at night over water. I believe the famous individual you referred to was flying a Piper Saratoga which is a fast airplane. He used terrible judgement in even attempting the flight at night. He always flew with an instructor pilot but on that occasion became over confident to his detriment.

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it James! I've flown behind a Garmin, Bendix, Cessna and Century autopilots and nothing has come close to the capability and stability of this 3100. :) Just wish more planes had ones like this one that can really help keep people safe when they get in trouble. I remember watching a really well done documentary on the entire thing...such a needless loss.

[@rabh6746]

After a hard day at work that was a nice bonus, loved every minute :) Can't wait to see part 2, bring it on :)

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Rab...glad you enjoyed it! I'm not done with part 2 yet but I think it will be a fun one. :)

[@jonathanlevesque2165]

310 good informative video... Thanks for keeping me occupied during my lunch break!

[@310Pilot]

You're welcome Jonathan...glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidrumolo422]

Nice article in Cessna Flyer! See ya in OSH.

[@310Pilot]

Thanks David!! They did a great job with it...hope to see you up there. Think we are going to be during the later half of the event.

[@smaviation]

Great as always - Aurora field looks great in summertime; but what is the deal with the “one-bee-cee” readbacks, amazed they let you do that?😂

[@310Pilot]

Glad you enjoyed it Simon! Happy things have finally green'ed up for us up here. :) Unlike our day jobs, there's no required phraseology for pilots. Cutting out a few syllables every now and then without being confusing. :)

[@smaviation]

Thanks for your reply👍Always enjoy yr vids!

[@herbm8709]

Great Video!! Another informative one!

[@freedomrider30]

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Russ...glad you think so! Go DAWGS! Them Braves are looking pretty good so far as well. :)

[@RobMR3]

Sun Visor still cracks me up.

[@310Pilot]

I'm glad ya'll find the humor in it...it just drives me bananas! :) Can't wait to have the new Rosen Visors installed in a few weeks!

[@GeraldLaumeyer]

As always really enjoyed your video keep up the great work

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Gerald...glad you liked it!

[@jeffdavis4876]

Love the new camera on the panel!

[@310Pilot]

Awesome...thank you for the feedback!

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Cool! That's interesting to see the "envelope protection" in action. Great to have that as a backup. And... (respectfully) Jamie, you're looking like a million bucks. Well played, madam!

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Mike! It's such a cool safety feature....never would have thought that would be in a plane like mine a few years ago. And I agree....she was killing it like usual. :)

[@Parr4theCourse]

Too cool, love the features your new autopilot, we just got back from Eleuthera & Staniel Cay and have over 25 hours of video to edit. I know ya'll weer thinking about going to Staniel cay on your next trip and you MUST do it, the Exumas are awesome!!!!

[@keithweedt7236]

Awesome vlog again.

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Keith!!

[@tomrike3488]

Great autopilot envelope protection demo. Amazing piece of equipment. Like the new camera & camera mount too. Flying with you just gets better all the time. And the co pilot sure doesn't hurt either !! Not sure what city planner approved that development on the approach to that runway. Pretty shot sighted!! Looking forward to part two.

[@timskiff9422]

And out of the western sky!

[@blazerfootball60]

I love the idea of Jamie learning how to get down safely. When I peruse my pilots license, my wife not knowing how to fly is the only thing that concerns me. Hopefully she comes around to learning as well so I can get started!

[@kevinjarchow8812]

I have the same thing going on. Wife stopped flying with me when we hit some minor turbulence about 6 years back. I needed her for a taxi test to help me with something and I had to promise her on penalty of divorce that we wouldn't take off as we headed down the runway. Wish I could get her in the air with me again. You have no idea how lucky you all are who get to fly with your spousal unit.

[@310Pilot]

I agree Bobby...it is comforting to know that if something happens to me she can get down safely. With this autopilot and GPS, after just one demonstration she was able to do it herself. Pretty cool...it should be done by next Tuesday. We will continue to fine tune things but they don't need a full PPL in order to get down safely. :) Kevin....I love love love that she enjoying sharing aviation with me. That would be tough if she didn't. Maybe she will come back around.

[@bobmcgehee1749]

Good job Kev.

[@310Pilot]

Thanks Bob!

[@famouslocal0516]

Jamie could do that!🤔

[@310Pilot]

She does it on the second half. :)

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Love your vids guys!!! FIX THAT VISOR!!! 🤣

[@310Pilot]

Glad you're enjoying it Chris! Brand new Rosen sun visors going in next month!

[@dlouque]

Great informative video as usual Kevin, love the fact that Jamie loves to fly with you and makes a great copilot. My wife also loves to fly, took her up on our first date 16 years ago. BTW having a beautiful partner I think has made BaronPilot do an upgrade too, and she seems to be an active passenger that's into flying.
