Sun n Fun 7: Land without waking sleeping CO-PILOT??

In the last video we decided to change our destination from Huntsville, Alabama to Mount Vernon, Illinois (MVN) to eat lunch. Jaime crawls in the back to take a nap, I discuss some of the things we did at Sun n Fun and our decision to upgrade our avionics to a full Avidyne suite. I try to make an RNAV approach and land without waking up Jaime.

I just discovered you guys in the past week and I have been bingeing all your videos. Flying has always been something I’ve wanted to do, but at 61 years old I have come to the realization that it probably just isn’t going to happen. So, thank you for allowing me to live vicariously through you!

[@310Pilot]

Glad you found us Fred and hope you're enjoying all the past videos and the future ones (or at least some of them)! It's never too late to learn to fly if you can pass the medical. I heard of a 70 something year old getting their license not long ago. If you are medically capable, I'm sure a local flight school offers reduced rate introductory rides...might be worth checking out. Either way...happy to have you rinding along with us!!

How can you look at fake videos and say this is your favorite Aviation Channel?

[@ekraszewski]

Natewatl Not fake. There tons of these videos on here. Look for them and you will see.

[@natewatl9423]

@@ekraszewski you cannot title a video using the term co-pilot, and then a few seconds into the video saying, she's asleep, and then she shows her head turns and shakes her blanket. You cannot call her a co-pilot in the thumbnail and a passenger in the fake video. I'm not at all satisfied with safety precautions of a co-pilot climbing over a seat to get to the back and take a nap, even if the nap were legitimate and not staged. Sorry, but this is a fake operation by a character who speaks with atrocious grammar. Personally I cannot believe that the FAA would give a license to an Airman who was so linguistically challenged.

[@darrelldoerhoff4958]

Another great video. I really liked that you showed close-ups and explained the avionics. When school starts again in August, I'm going to assign watching some of your videos as homework.

[@Marauder92V]

I think you’ll enjoy the active traffic. I have it on my L-3 9000+. The big advantage of active traffic before the mandate goes into effect is seeing planes that are in traffic patterns and below radar coverage. I forgot the excitement of a new autopilot. I flew my plane for 7 years before I added the STEC 60-2. A full function autopilot really takes off the workload for the very reasons you mentioned in your video.

[@brucenellis2780]

Great video, enjoyed you describing what you are doing. Thanks

[@bobs9614]

Great to see you stop at KMVN. It's been many years since I've been there. I was actually on the design team that developed the Frontal Area and the extension/widening of Rwy 5-23 back in the early 1970's (Showing my age). The airport design firm I worked for (William J. Murray & Associates) had many Illinois clients ( DEC, UIN, MTO, UGN, etc.) and I always enjoy seeing some of our past handiwork !!!!

[@310Pilot]

Wow...that's really cool Bob that you helped design that. It was a really nice airport and fun fuel/lunch stop for us. I love trying new airports whenever we can. Glad we made the stop in there and would do it again if ever needed.

I hope you're able to get back up if that's what you want. I took a break at one point and was so excited while getting spun back up. I think I'm in for the long haul this time. :) If it wasn't so bumpy down low I think I could have landed without her waking up...stupid turbulence.

Hi Kevin and Jamie - great vid. I’m in Florida but missed Fun and Sun this year. I own a Cessna 182RG with a Garmin 750 ads-b in and out. Absolutely love it. There’s a lot of great electronics out there for GA aircraft these days. Amazing! The 750 worked for us. Also, asked you about the Lightspeed’s in a previous vid as I was in the market. Bought the Zulu 3s and love them. Thanks for the guidance and the videos. Enjoy!

[@310Pilot]

Howdy Mike...glad you enjoyed it! I love 182RG's...Awesome planes. Glad your 750 is working out for you. To some degree it's a Coke vs Pepsi thing as with many things in life. That is what makes us all not bored I suppose. :) We are really loving our IFD550 as well. Glad to hear you enjoy your Zulu's. I really loved my Zulu 2's for many years and just recently upgraded to 3's myself and like them even more. Minor changes but they somehow managed to improve them. :) Maybe we'll see you at a future SnF or OSH if you make it up. :)

Excellent video, as always--you guys knock it out the park each time. Jaime should well rested now.

[@papamilnes2132]

Great video and well done yet again! I used to always think Garmin was the only way to go, until recently when Avidnye has been putting out some really great products. Their notion of safety and everything they have put into their products has been game changing. Garmin still makes great products and having a combo of the 2 like you have is a show stopper and a great touch.

[@310Pilot]

Thank you Papa...glad you enjoyed it! I used to think the same way as you and my plane was starting to look like a Garmin poster but after seeing Avidyne's current selection of avionics I decided to part with my past thinking as I truly liked their stuff better. Not knocking Garmin or those that choose to upgrade/stay with them. Just showing and explaining why/what we decided was best for us. After we get the full Avidyne suite installed I'll do some videos showing how all their stuff works for people still deciding what path to take. :)

Love your videos and narratives.I am sure you picked up all kinds of useful ideas for the plane at Sun N'Fun. That is probably the best part of going to aviation events. You can visit all the exhibitors booths to get ideas on re-configuring your avionics. The new Aztec A/P relieves you of flying the plane, so you can use your time more productively. Safe Home to Aurora!

When you showed closeups of the gauges, etc, if there'd be any interest in having a camera aimed at them that someone could watch side-by-side with the main video. Also, since I'm a photo/video nerd, how about a LED light strip lighting the whole console from the overhang above them. So long as it didn't interfere with your ability to see the console, that could be not only great for seeing them better, but cool looking as well. Love your channel.

What a vast improvement the "new" autopilot has given 1BC! I am sure it feels like a different plane in flight. What a great year for Avionics upgrades, I have been really impressed with the Avidyne Suite myself although I haven't had an opportunity to fly with it yet. I can't wait to see some of your upcoming trips and new destinations! Thanks for sharing your passion with us! Oh, and my brother and I just got our first plane! Cherokee PA28-160, Woo Hoo!! I will Instagram you a few photos. After years of harassing, he is finally taking the plunge and getting his PPL. It needs a few panel upgrades, but we have time build it up. First on the list is a GPS and the ADS-B update. We will have to start with probably a Garmin 430/530 to get us a primary nav com. We don't plan on going crazy as we totally plan to use this great little plane as a stepping stone to the next one, :-) . Anyways thanks again Kevin for sharing your videos!

Congrats Kyle on your new plane!!!!! That is awesome! You are going to love aviation even more (yes it's possible) having your own plane. You can be spontaneous...not worry about getting it back for the next person...the condition based on who flew it last...etc. Sounds like you have a perfect plan for your new plane. So you flying it to OSH this year?? :)

@@310Pilot Thanks Kevin! OSH is out for this year, but will be on our bucket list very soon in the years to come. Need to do some good shakedown flights regionally before heading clear over there and the GPS!

Kevin/Jamie, nice flight! Kevin nice job of showing & discussing your future avionics panel along with active traffic. I think Avidyne should be happy with your avionics choice! I have been really happy with my latest Avidyne IFD540 purchase. It was interesting on how your thinking about addressing the upgraded panel! Thanks again. Don :-)

You're welcome Don and glad you enjoyed it! We are loving the IFD550 and their new audio panel. Can't wait to finish out the Avidyne suite and clean up the panels a bit. Glad to hear that my rambling about the active traffic wasn't too bad. :)

Terrible landing? You should’ve seen some of mine stellar landings when I was a student!
