Takeoff from Centennial Airport Denver in a private jet

[@ColinPrenger]

My second home aiport! Fun to see it from a jet perspective. Nice videos!

[@Bartimaeeus]

1:07 into private jet and take-off he gives you this look. on a serious note, i really enjoy watching your vids, keep em coming.

My second home airport! Fun to see it from a jet perspective. Great videos!

[@JulioBS820]

I love your videos! How is the clarity aloft headset? And by any chance could you do a preflight video? Thanks for your time!

[@vonhinx]

Great videos as usual. Love the sounds. Please keep 'em coming.

[@tophertec]

Thanks for the great videos - just found them. If you look at the building to the west on takeoff at the 4:24 mark, you'll see Jeppesen, where they publish your charts, fms data, and develop some really great software! I learned to fly at KAPA back in 1997.

[@MrRobertotim]

you make it look like ur driving a truck, look easy

[@drklain]

Great video. Impressed by the climb rate out of Denver on a hot day....

[@gregmink]

Thanks Dave, Yes, it climbs well.....especially when it is cold out. But for a hot day in Denver, it did really well. I had full fuel and 4 adults on board with lots of luggage.

[@samtaylor1160]

How did you arrive at the decision to purchase a Premier vs other VLJ's? Enjoy your videos, particularly the ones featuring airports around CO, did quite a bit of instrument training and mountain flying orientation out of Jeff Co. and spend quite a bit of time snowboarding out there every winter.

[@gregmink]

Speed, size and efficiency all factored in to making the choice. As well as price.

[@samtaylor1160]

Premier 1 Driver It's a beautiful airplane! And after I posted the question, I looked at the numbers and impressive vs other single pilot capable light jets. What was your first aircraft purchase? Enjoy and safe flying!

[@gregmink]

Sam Taylor My first aircraft was a Cessna 172. I flew F-16's in the military...back in the day. My previous aircraft was a MU-2 which I loved.

[@samtaylor3115]

Premier 1 Driver Very cool. I started out my flight training at Commair Aviation Academy's partnership program with Jacksonville University, however decided to go another direction in college, not that I didn't love flying, just decided the airline industry wasn't for me. I've been looking to purchase, and get back into aviation, recently had the opportunity to do some mountain flying up in BC out of Squamish in a 172. However I suffer from every pilot's dilemma, the dreaded mission profile! I did pretty much all my flight training in 172's, so would be comfortable flying/owning one, however, I can't really fit my wife and two snowboards plus bags in a 172, so I'll have to go another direction! Also love the MU 2, would love to step up into that aircraft some day!

[@ssnoc]

Why do you sometime keep the brake on and fire up the engines before releasing the brake and taking off, and other times you don't stop at all and just go full power?

[@gregmink]

Rolling takeoff versus full stop takeoff. Lots of factors come into play, but primarily runway length. On long runways I tend to do a rolling takeoff as there is plenty of margin for error. On shorter runways, I do the hold the brakes, check the engines and then release.

[@chrisgrab7148]

Ok. Thx!

[@MrRobertotim]

please next video show us the passenger cabin, do these jets have lavatory inside?

[@gregmink]

yes, there is a small bathroom in the rear of the jet.

[@goldstarheaven9172]

Does it have a frosted glass window......?

[@MrRobertotim]

Thanks now I know

[@MrDrewbug1]

Thank you so much for these videos, rite down my alley, Question,, When I was in the Navy back in the 70's I was flying back to my ship on an Eastern jet and was reading a interesting pamphlet and I thought it said the higher an aircraft flies the shorter the distance between point a to b. Is that true? Again thank's for your vid's. John

[@gregmink]

+john king I don't know if that is true, but if you take a string between two points on a globe, you'll find the string the longest if you go a straight line between the two points. The string will be shorter if you follow the curve of the globe.

[@MrDrewbug1]

That what I kind of figured. Again thank you for your videos, you are a very intelligent pilot it's interesting on all the things required to fly a jet. Catch you later, be safe.

[@ElJefe2025]

+Premier 1 Driver I have a question to ask you sir?

[@gregmink]

Hi Ernie- what is your question?

[@ElJefe2025]

+Premier 1 Driver What is the difference between a regular passenger plane and a jet liner?

[@mdvr4125]

Smooth takeoff, great coms. I enjoyed this video.

[@gregmink]

Much appreciated!

[@mrbossome28]

Watching you land right now!

[@gregmink]

you should have come over and said hello

[@Island_Line_Rail_Productions]

1:31 taxi...so not used to taxing hands off...in all the Cessna airplanes I have flown always been taught to hold back pressure and controls into the wind....on a bigger aircraft is this not necessary? Cool view!

[@gregmink]

+Paul Rude I would do it if the wind was really howling, but in normal or light winds the plane really doesn't get pushed around much.

[@chrisgrab7148]

Nice video! Can you compare Premiere1 vs Citation M2?

[@gregmink]

Well, I'd say the Premier is larger and faster than a M2. The M2 has the new Garmin avionics which are nice. The range of the two aircraft is probably comparable. I think the Premier might be a better comparison to the CJ2. The Honda Jet or Phenom 100 might be a more apples to apples comparison to an M2.

[@luistovar7902]

I appreciate it very much, was curious to know what type of jet, I'm a fan in aviation I really like planes, my dad was a pilot, a Beech King Air 90 And that's why I like aviation.Thanks!.

[@luistovar7902]

What kind of beechcraft jet,Do you flight? Thanks.

[@gregmink]

luis tovar It is a Beechcraft Premier 1A

[@dave4shmups]

Excellent video! I live just a few miles west of Centennial Airport. It looks like you had a really smooth departure, with no turbulence. What does EEONS stand for?

[@gregmink]

Thank you. EEONS is a point on the EEONS 4 departure that I was given. You can see it here-155.178.201.160/d-tpp/1412/05715EEONS.PDF . Many of the airports use a SID (standard instrument departure) for all IFR traffic departing their facility. It is basically a highway in the sky that you follow.

[@vecchiotom1]

What brand of head set do you wear?

[@gregmink]

+vecchiotom1 Clairty Aloft

[@aidanbarnes4290]

I saw a private plane take off this morning

[@comander402]

saludos cap. cuidese ok.

[@romoeas]

Would love to fly right seat with ya. You flying 91 or 135 with that Premiere?.... If you come through KVNY, let me know, grab coffee, and pick your brain. Thx for the vid, KAPA was where I learned to fly. We keep our T210 in a hangar there.

[@gregmink]

Its all part 91. I've never been to VNY...it is on my list though!

[@DenzelALee]

Afert watching this I still don't understand how to roleplay

[@barbarairwin4369]

Amazing !!

[@signature1990]

gawd what a cramped cockpit, nice video though

[@gregmink]

signature1990 Its not bad. Plenty of headroom and you don't want to be too far away from the rudder pedals because you need to get full deflection on those. The back is great which is where the person who paid for the plane usually sits! Although not in my plane.

[@signature1990]

Premier 1 Driver still better than my jet (no jet!). great video series and you are right, the back looks comfortable. If I won the lottery the Premier would do me just fine

[@XraLaughsKaden]

I live there!!! Just by apa!!!

[@franklinpark1963]

No copilot? You should help some pilots by giving them some hours on your jet :)

[@gregmink]

+Franklin Park Check out "Sam's Flight" in my video profile. Thanks for watching!

[@cameronkoury7788]

cool

[@Krappo]

.i wanted front view

[@gregmink]

Yes I did too, but unfortunately that camera fell over on takeoff roll. If you look at my Centennial Landing video you'll get the front view you would have gotten if the camera hadn't fallen.

[@bonirivera3882]

Justo one camera? Bull

[@JulioBS820]

I love your videos! How is the clarity aloft headset? And by any chance could you do a preflight video? Thanks for your time!

[@gregmink]

Thank you. The headset is great. Just know that it doesn't have the noise reduction that an ANR headset will have. I'll put together a cockpit pre-flight video at some point. I've had a few requests. Thanks!

[@JulioBS820]

OK thanks!
