ALL ABOARD! - TBM850 IFR Flight from Richmond, VA to Miami, FL!

[@TexasByAir]

There's something to be said - from a learning experience - to just watch...observe...absorb. As an instrument-rated pilot working on his commercial, these videos are really great at letting us experience the national air space system, ATC and more in a variety of scenarios. Thanks Steveo! I know making these videos - prepping the cameras, the editing afterwards, etc. involves work - appreciate it!!

It never ceases to amaze me how effortlessly you seem to stay ahead of the airplane. I really need to work on my proficiency in doing those little things which keep you ahead of it. Great vid!

[@aarone7146]

This is just a textbook example of staying ahead of the airplane. Well done, Steveo!

You "play" the panel like a musician plays their instrument. Well Done! I always like to fly along!

[@holyshizzleitsconnor]

I've been watching your videos since I was in high school, I'm 25 now being medically retired from the Army, about to finish my bachelors and start flight school again. I gotta say your videos helped keep my motivation up through some tough times! Thanks, Steveo!

[@bobcooke6346]

Thank you Steveo for taking us along on your flights, always a joy watching you fly and explain the procedures 👍🙂

[@paulschannel3046]

Regarding "Coffee Time." I was flying on a 450 miles cross country a few years ago. I did my usual predepature routine, (bathroom), and took off. Apparently there was some residual coffee/diet coke hanging out in the vascular system. In flight the kidneys took care of the fluid volume and deposited the excess into my bladder tank. At 225 miles short of the destination the warning lights started going off on the panel in my head. At 150 miles I was faced with a full biological emergency. Being the ace of the base pilot I am... procedures were followed... seat belt little loose, belt loosened, belt undone, pants unbuttoned and zipper down a little. No way I could make it to the destination. Had to make a biological emergency landing. As I taxied... QUICKLY... to the gas pumps, (might as well fill er up). I had a spot picked out behind that hanger there just in case the FBO was closed. I literally ran to the bathroom. Now I restrict myself a couple hours before departure too. Love your videos. Not just entertaining but also educational. Thanks!!

[@danizweifler6061]

to "Pauls Channel"...... = nice explaination and easy going reading....... :-) // something like that did happen to me in a car 30 (!) years ago.... // a friend of mine and I (= both foreign exchange students) did travel to San Diego. We got caught in a "stop-and-go" traffic jam. That means, 2 min waiting and maybe 1/4 mile driving afterwards..... // finally I gave up + jumped out of the car + ran up the hill seeking for bushes.......// sure enought and according Murphy's Law, my driver was urged to drive forward during my toilet break.... // That means: running again and catching the car on its next stop.... // greetings from Europe

Entering long routes on the 430/530 series with all the knob twiddling is really tedious - I was so amazed when I got my Avidyne IFD to replace a 430 and it came with a little Bluetooth keyboard you can use, it saves so much time!

[@toddberlin2000]

KRIC...my home town! You do a great job of listening to 2 radios, responding to your calls, AND narrating for your viewers. I am always scared I will miss a call from ATC when I am listening to ATIS on #2. Great flight and awesome video!

[@jimimmler9110]

Hi Stevo, I mimick every one of your flights with the Garmin PC trainer. I research your exact coordinates at the departure location, copy IFR clearances, taxi instructions and I fly the entire flight side by side with your video right down to the arrival, approach and shutdown. Each video takes several hours and many replays to get it right. Toughest part is figuring out where you edited out parts. Lots of good IFR practice. I wonder if anyone else is as nutty as me. Keep the videos coming!

[@bernardc2553]

Flying IS MAGICAL STEVO, Nothing on earth like it !

[@hlender]

Excellent video. Excellent professionalism displayed. What's really amazing is that when I listen to people with masks on how hard it is to understand them. With Steveo I never missed a beat. He was so easy to understand. What a pleasure to listen too. Also Steveo's excellent videography, pans and slow zooms. Very, very professional.

[@bigalexg]

Thanks Stevo. Richmond resident here and flightsim novice - REALLY enjoyed the flight and the way you gave such clear and concise explanations of the actions. For my purposes those explanations are invaluable. I actually understood most of them! Though I'm sure I would get flustered and mess them up in real time. But I must be making some progress in my studies. Really stoked my desire to explore aviation further. Love your TBM. How in the world you can understand all the ATC instructions and read it back so quickly is beyond me, lot of practice I guess. Liked and subscribed and I'll be back for your future vids for sure buddy! Keep em coming . .

Steveo, Wonderful explanation of aviating , cruise, and approach for landing with IFR navigation and communication. Reminiscent of when I used to fly my father-in-law’s aircraft Chicago Waukegan to Phoenix Deer Park airport. Thanks. Well done!

[@adampoconnor]

Watching you type all of those fixes in reminds me of how awesome a FlightStream 210 is on the 430/530 units...

[@DKSnoh]

I really liked the close ups of the instruments. I always see you changing the decent rate when on auto pilot but never up close. I always enjoy your videos. Stay Safe!!

[@bruceerwin2541]

While the closest a pilot can get to DIR is the most practical flight, however love ALL of those waypoints, Steveo, makes flying and watching the avionics/AP work so much more interesting, the reason I intentionally create many waypoints within custom FPL’s I create for simming...highly recommended, fellow Simmers! Thanks for sharing, Steveo.

[@Whitesp44]

Fantastic video Steve! Truly appreciate that you take the time and effort to make and edit these videos. I learn a little something every time I watch your videos. Your clam demeanor and explanations really help a new pilot like me understand how to multi task without getting too worked up. Stay safe, stay healthy everyone.

Kinda nice hugging the east coast like that. Really REALLY cool. Something I'm reflecting on as you were leaving the Richmond area. You have no concerns about "increasing" irregular TFRs in the Palm Beach area. Yep, the Cape. Palm Beach? No time soon. Just a perspective.

[@steveo1kinevo]

I always do a good preflight plan on every flight so I am ready for whatever comes my way.

[@bartofilms]

Interesting point. I wonder if they'll keep special TFR's for our former President, and if so, for how long?

[@kirklandelectricicnc]

@@bartofilms I doubt Trump will be taking any commercial flights sense he has his own Boeing 757. Flying commercial usually isn't viable, considering the traffic jam a president's appearance would cause in a public airport terminal. There's no getting around that with his name plastered on the side of his plane. But, all former presidents have lifetime Secret Service protection.

Steveo - another great video. Really appreciate your comments and the details you provide all along your flights. You departed from my backyard. I bought a Cherokee, then got my private at age 55 and flew out of Stafford (KRMN) for seven years - just up the road from Richmond. Loved my flying time and put 410 hrs in the log book. Sold the plane at the end of 2018, a year later, the new owner filed a lawsuit against me, the pre-buy company, and 21 mechanics for a claimed missed AD from back in 1998. He filed a complaint with the FAA, and they found "No non-compliance". He persisted with the lawsuit, we went back and forth with legal documents for the next 18 months. Using Flight Aware, I discovered he was flying the so called Unairworthy airplane. When we presented this at a pre-trial arbitration hearing, my side won that hearing - and they finally decided not to go to court. I wanted to actually go to trail, for that was the only way I could ask to be reimbursed for my legal fees. In the end this whole affair cost me $10,300 in legal fees. It has kind of put a sour taste in my mouth for aviation. But, watching your videos reminds me of the good times, and the fun, and the beauty that can only be seen from above. As you said, flying is a magical thing - this is so true. You are truly fortunate to be paid to follow your passion. Perhaps we can meet one day. Safe travels.
