The information produced by your channel and others is invaluable. I spent over 20 years going in and out of remote camps and the pilots were our lifeline. I always wanted to learn to fly but had some issues that prohibited it. I watch the videos and testimonials and recommend any person wanting to enter aviation watch as many hours of these platforms as they can it may save your life as well as any passengers or someone on the ground. Thank you all for sharing.

Very informative, very well presented. While I was a student pilot, on a solo cross country flight I landed in Ardmore Oklahoma, jumped back in the C150 and begin to fly back to Addison Texas, on climb out making my crosswind turn I swear I was hit by another airplane, it sounded just like you would imagine what a propeller ripping thru a fuselage would sound like, after 2 seconds of pure terror I realized I was still flying but that sound was still there. I turned to downwind and the sound reduced, I continued back to the airport and landed safely. Once on the ground I found the co-pilots seat belt hanging out of the cabin door. I guess when I was on the ground I reached in the the co-pilots door to grab my log book to get signed at the FBO and pulled the belt out the door. Being a student pilot and having just landed a perfectly good flying airplane 5 minutes prior to my departure I did not do a walk around. I know now my bad. But I have to thank my instructor and his training, stop, think, assess the situation, the airplane was still flying, no need to panic, what do you do next, get on the ground as soon as possible. If you have never had a seat belt banging on the outside of your aircraft I'm hear to tell you it is a real attention getter.

Great discussion! You always have to be thinking what if, and what’s next. In the Cirrus I always keep #2 GPS on nearest airport when in cruise. The Foreflight glide distance ring is also a good reference for deciding if I could make the nearest field, or need to pull the chute. Great channel BTW! Looking forward to more videos.
@TakingOff6 жыл бұрын
Same here. In my plane, I have an old Garmin 496 I keep tuned to Nearest (primary is a 430W). And I also use ForeFlight with the glide slope.

The guy talking about not worrying about the airplane, just make sure you can walk away from the landing, reminds me of a saying we had in Army Aviation, “Any landing you can walk away from is a good one, if you can reuse the aircraft after it, it’s a really good landing!!!”

Enjoyed this video. I experienced my only engine failure picking up a Cessna 182 in New Brunfells . All the training and practice I did over the years paid off. I was at 100' when I blew #5 cylinder, and I was able to put it down before the end of the runway. No matter what happens remember to fly the plane. I also was involve in a double engine failure in the Navy while we were landing in Rota, Spain. I was just a crewman at that time before I got a pilots license.

Aviation is a small world! I'm listening to this story of a crippled twin beech landing at an airport that was recently repaved and no marking thinking, no way! This is that twin beech that landed after I did. After making the discussion to call it a day because Oshkosh went IFR, Iwas trying to find someplace to stay the night. I heard someone say, There a twin with a engine out getting ready to land. Seems like everybody was there. A DC-3 showed up and I just missed the Flying Cowboys from UT to enclude Drakco the fire breathing Wilga. We were 90 miles from KOSH, and we had our own airshow/fly-in. Travis fixed the control problem on that motor and I watched him do his test flight the next day.

There are view he has given same talk more than once.

Great video. I was an active GA pilot until my children came along. I still flew in the back of airplanes as a contractor with a class 3 medical. Also I was required to have an active altitude chamber training. This was something that really opened my eyes to my hypoxic symptoms. I think GA pilots flirt with Hypoxia more than airline or military pilots since they fly at 10,000 - 12,000 feet or I did anyway. I think all GA pilots should go for altitude chamber training (The FAA offers it for free but you have to get to Oklahoma City). Thanks for the discussion! I would love to have a channel that discusses this. Thanks for the great content. New subscriber here!

He was talking about the Qantas flight and he said they forgot to fly the plane but that's not true they did a GREAT job flying the plane there entire hydruolic failure they had no autopilot they had no control surfaces for a long time and they had no idea what was going on because the entire electric system went down and they had to manually calculate the fuel and if they could land and they were actually too heavy and they landed with basically no controls and no help from the planes systems and super heavy,. I just wanted to correct him because I don't want people thinking the pilots were at fault because they were some amazing pilots also the first officer was brand new and he did exactly what he was supposed to do
