TBM850 IFR Flight VLOG! - ATLANTA, GA to PERRY HOUSTON!

[@CompleteWalkaround]

Perfect, just made coffee :)

[@steveo1kinevo]

Coffee time = 1hr ETE! You are good to go!

[@silasmarner7586]

Well if the co-pilot is still in the learning mode, Steve-O is the best man out there to teach flying the TBM850. His confidence, competence, and calmness are unmatchable!

[@bradrobinhancock8491]

I do believe the term "co-pilot" was used as a euphemism, similar to riding shotgun, where they don't let you actually have a shotgun. The clues: not many trips logged in a smaller GA aircraft. A co-pilot (or FO) would have handled the radio, automatically scanned "his side" as they crossed an active runway, would have scanned for the pattern traffic while SteveO was "head down" monitoring the gear status and flap status. I'm going with just a passenger. But, he probably did learn a few things about aviating while riding shotgun.

[@Tmanaz480]

I like the way you talk through your flights in your videos. It helps us hear all the things you're thinking about and looking at as you fly. It's like we're hearing a pilot's brain out loud.

[@Shannonbarnesdr1]

I’m in training, but I talk through everything, and it drove one of my instructors nuts, I’m like, you don’t like hearing me verbally check off and go through the process, and give you that confirmation of what I know and what I don’t ? You’d think that would be a great help to an instructor, but oh well, I got a different instructor who is a better fit and likes how I walk through and verbally confirm what I’m doing and checking off, i am gonna keep training and doing what works

[@USACLANVIDEOS]

Perry is where I am doing my flight training. It is cool to see my daily sights in your videos. Thanks Steveo.

[@papalilburn]

Steveo is a master of flight detail and thoroughness! Awesome pilot!

[@kolfinger]

I bought myself an iPad mount !!! With your discount, thank you man. And I'm from Russia.

[@Jake-Day]

Very much appreciate the commentary and explaining the what and why you’re doing what you’re doing along the way.

[@smitty9733]

I admire the complete confidence to end IFR following to VFR when VFR makes more sense. Fun to watch.

[@christopherrhoderick9706]

I think the most hectic part of my flight school training once solo was to attempt to visualize the announcing flights in and around an airport that i wasn’t familiar with. There’s a big trust factor in all of the other pilots in the pattern , that they are doing the same for me as I enter their airspace. Cool, calm, collected. Well done!

[@jonminer9891]

Hi, Steveo. Nice to fly with you again. Thanks for sharing! Stay Healthy!

[@kc135_lover]

Wow the TBM 850 is a awesome plane! Due to a medical condition I am only allowed to fly with a sporty license so I fly the Cessna 162. Your TBM throws my sky catcher out of the water!

[@MrSixstring2k]

Flying is flying love and enjoy every moment of that little plane.

[@kc135_lover]

@@MrSixstring2k :) definitely do love my skycatcher.

[@lovestogarden3132]

I’m new to watching flight videos and know nothing about flying, what is a sporty license? For some reason I’m hooked on these videos.

[@kc135_lover]

@@lovestogarden3132 a sporty pilot license is a license that requires less training, restrictions to aircraft, weight, and speed. With the license you only fly VFR, your speed will be 120 knots or less, below 10,000ft. Because of restrictions most health conditions are fine. A private pilot license requires a 3rd class med cert which I didn't qualify for so I got a sporty instead. I love it

[@lovestogarden3132]

@@kc135_lover Thank you so much for such a detailed reply. I’ve been watching a few flying channels and it looks amazing to be able to fly an airplane.

[@tenn24th]

Thanks, Steveo, for putting out the content. Been watching for years. And still enjoy it. Keep at it for us, for those of us who can’t fly.

[@MichaelLloyd]

Perry looked like a nice little airport. Thanks for taking us along Steveo

[@mikercflyer7383]

Great start to my year 2022 seeing your video pop up in my mail. Thanks for the enjoyment. And safe travels.

[@steveo1kinevo]

Happy New Year Mike!

[@JamieMiles_southmainmuse]

Been to Perry lots. Though haven’t flown there. When my son was young and we lived in Atlanta we’d go to Peachtree Dekalb so he could watch the planes. Enjoy your videos.

[@braveheart1985]

Welcome Justin, thanks Steveo. I watch these videos to help me relax after work. Sometimes do the routes in MSFS2020. Bless you keep safe.

[@steveo1kinevo]

Love flying on flight sim! I currently fly the Flybywire A320n the most which is a lot of fun.

[@braveheart1985]

@@steveo1kinevo I also use the FBW A320 with SLC (self loading cargo) addon...my poor passengers :P

[@davidbirdwell8953]

Thanks for all you do for the aviation world. Your videos give us a positive perspective of what it’s like flying a turboprop. I’m retired but tow banners part time in a Pawnee (loved the pic) I also own the Baby TBM (TB20GT). I just upgraded the panel with GI-275’s and a GTN750XI to finally start my instrument training. You make the transition a little easier by observing your flow in the cockpit and the phraseology should sound. Keep ‘em coming!

[@cf41]

Cool to see you and the TBM flying around my old stomping ground! I started my flight training nearby at WRB years ago and PXE was the usual place for early pattern work, since it got us away from the C5, C17, C130, and F15 traffic there at WRB. So, with the other flight training outfits that used PXE as well, it wasn’t unusual for the PXE pattern and the nearby practice area to be full of fledgling flyers.

[@aaronatstate]

What really gets me is all the switches to flip in the TBM850 prior to the introduction of the Garmin glass panel in it! So many switches to flip!

[@jessekiefer0206]

I’ve been to the Peachtree airport they have a nice restaurant there with a P51 on display in front of it! Flying in the soup. Nice smooth flight!

[@Nfarce]

My former home base airport! Fun fact @8:48 off the right wing: that large empty lot is a former GM plant (Doraville) where they made every brand of a GM car except Cadillac since 1947. Another fun fact: PDK is a former US Navy Reserve base, and Pat Epps, an FBO owner there spearheaded an expedition to Greenland to find an ice buried P-38 fighter from the "Lost Squadron." He used to fly aerobatics in his F33 Bonanza and Learjet 24 at airshows there.

[@randyarcher8904]

My first solo was at Perry in 1994. Thanks for the memories!

[@brianstarks2752]

When working at the Dalton Ga airport back in the late 90s. One of the mechanics and I would fly down to PDK to our 100$ hamburgers.. Pull right up to the restaurant in his 1954 Vtail. So much fun.

[@dazin7886]

You talking about the downwind?

[@KasualKaos]

All over my neck of the woods. I'm about 30 minutes west of Atlanta now but grew up in Macon about 30 minutes north of Perry.

[@hardwaybets]

Sitting right chair with SteveO would be a bucket list item for me.

[@1osbornemk]

Steveo !! Glad to see that you visited Perry. I live about 6 miles from the airport. Wish I knew you were coming in, I would have loved to have watched you land and say hi!!

[@chcr8150]

Was a real treat to see the entire flight! Especially with all the transitions (controlled to un-controlled, IMC to VMC, IFR to VFR). For a while there I thought that controller was never going to let you down or turn you towards the approach! Had to laugh when you broke out and the field was already zooming past on your left. Thanks Steve-o and Happy New Year!

[@bkembley]

19:21 - You did what I do! You read back ATC's instructions on the Perry CTAF. I like announcing early like you did...but I keep my finger on the com 1 transmit button until I'm back--otherwise I forget to move my mic back to ATC.

[@godfreyduncan7783]

Lovely short flight steveo, always a joy to watch

[@mjhornidge]

I love watching that TBM engine start-up.

[@jeff9104]

Always enjoy your videos Steveo, I grew up flying with the analog stuff so it is really cool to see the newer instruments/technology in your TBM ! thanks 🛩🛩

[@gelati85]

Another time perfect job watching from France since long time ago.I learn a lot of the details of the conversations to fly in Europe.One word Thanks🙏

[@dripguy]

Thanks for bringing us along for the ride SteveO!

[@pinmode]

Stevo, I've been watching your videos for years and I believe this is the first time you've mentioned anything about a "co-worker" in a way that might suggest he is also a pilot (?). Your conversation with Justin also implies his flying experience is in "larger" aircraft. Are you contemplating a career change in the near future? I hope you will continue to publish these vlogs regardless of what happens. As always, great video and many thanks for taking us up with you.

[@silasmarner7586]

Wow. Confirmation of rental car during approach.... that's Premiere service!

[@Steveal3aneef1]

I love how clean your aircraft and gauges are .

[@VRFlightSimGuy]

I really enjoyed flying along with you. Take care!

[@SueBobChicVid]

I like the overlayed arrows on the approach plate.

[@craigpennington1251]

Talk about curb service. You guys get the treatment upon arrival. Cool. Great flight and instruction is spot on. Very nice aircraft that you fly.

[@77bubba00]

Hey Steveo! I gotta say that I love your videos! I'm not a pilot (just simulators), but I learn a lot watching your vids. I've had every Microsoft simulator since the first version (by SubLogic). I've been a jet engine technician since i joined the USAF right out of high school in 1980. I've flown a few "full-scale", full motion simulators while in the military. Every year we had to go to engine run emergency procedures training. Usually got to fly the sim after training was over. Had a friend who worked in the FB-111 sim on midshift. I went over there when work was slow on the flightline. Managed to get just over 200 hours on it. It was a surprising easy aircraft to fly. Keep cranking out the excellent content. Wish I had your job! Have a great weekend!

[@77bubba00]

Oh.... and the TBM930 in the sim is awesome!

[@jerryrounds8586]

Thanks for taking us along. Great video as usual.

[@ParkerOutside]

Can never get enough of those shots coming out of the cloud layers!

[@marcusgriffin279]

I wonder how many cameras Steve-O goes through in a year. He’s always leaving them at the airport after he boards…🤣

[@aman13us]

As a VFR pilot, I love the plates overlay. Keep up the great videos...

[@MidnightWyvern]

20:25 I wish I could say the same for where I'm training! The Northampton MA CTAF is frequently a cacophony of people stepping on each other nonstop.

[@Gee478]

[@adi74073]

Thanks steveo, just had to stop my flight learning, hope i could return and complete it in the future. Allways a delight seeing your videos!

[@nedj10]

SteveO when you have time before flight out of PDK you are less than 2 miles in either east/west directions of most of Atlanta's best restauants, hope you have had a chance to hit up Buford Hwy or Peachtree one of these days.

[@plane15man]

The premier that took off before you is one of our hangar tenants at kdet, super awesome guys. It's always a surprise to hear people you know in KZbin videos you watch all the time.

[@rushtybeef]

It sounded a lot like a guy with another KZbinr channel, "Premier 1 Driver." I thought it was the same guy for a minutes, but his is premier 390GM and that was 685LM.

[@pastorjohnmswanson5365]

Steve you are great at detail. I would feel very comfortable flying with you. Any pilot who takes their time with even the smallest detail will most always catch those little details that could become a big problem. When I was in the Air Force, I flew a lot with flight crews. In 2013 I got to fly in a lear jet to Las Vegas from San Francisco. That was a thrill. If you ever need a flying partner I will volunteer. Thanks for a great flight.

[@frankthomas855]

Nice video SteveO, I really liked the shots of Perry airport. Thanks for all the hard work.

[@alanfletcher5798]

I know both of those places well. Living in Louisville GA I'm close to both. Fun Flight.

[@hughmarloweverest1684]

Very good as per usual. I have fun monitoring an app from time to time watching stuff fly by. I have learned the distinctive sound of a turbo prop, and almost always check them out. I live not too far from Palomar McClellan Airport and all of the planes are usually on final approach, especially the high performance aircraft. The other day, early in the morning, I noted a Grumman Gulfstream 700 flying right over my house at 35000 feet, having departed Tokyo, Japan. I stopped watching him over Arizona. His flight plan said….Miami? Can they fly that far? Maybe he refueled in Hawaii? But his bread crumb trail showed no deviation to Hawaii.

[@curtisallred7250]

Flying is my passion. My grandparents that live in Panama City used to have a seaplane business from 1995 to 2009. They had to sell it because my grandfather who was the pilot had a heart attack and the doctor said he couldn't fly anymore. He was heartbroken about it.

[@granddad-mv5ef]

[@mikemay8334]

So Steveo, you always say you’re checking for a hot start and a hung start, but I don’t remember you ever saying what they are and why they’re not good. For some of us that haven’t been in a TBM it’s just a little curious. Thanks for your videos, they’re always fun to watch.

[@rhark25]

A hot start is just what the name implies. The temperature during the start sequence gets too high which can damage the internals of the engine. The temp gauge has to be closely monitored to keep that from happening. A hung start is when the start sequence slows or stops (gets "hung up") and can't be completed. The start must be aborted quickly to avoid engine damage.

[@mikemay8334]

@@rhark25 Thanks, I just don’t like to assume when the answers are there.
