[@nelsontoyota8637]

Enjoy the tech lessons. Off two my 4th flying lesson Friday. 2.3 hrs under my belt at 52.

[@bruce2357]

My favorite time in flight training was the solo cross country flights. Good luck.

[@catabaticanabatic3800]

You will never forget your first solo. One of life's big treats. A lot of work to go until you get your ticket but it is a hugely enjoyable journey. Enjoy.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Awesome!! Let me know how the training progresses

[@nelsontoyota8637]

@@CorporatePilotLife slow flight and stalls this week. The instructor is confused when I want to check the nutcrackers. :)

good stuff man.

[@kristopherlee5282]

These tech videos are great. May never sit in one but always want to learn something about aircraft. Much appreciated!

[@niceguy2171]

Good straight forward video, and we thank you for these. Realize you've had a lot going on, with S&F and such(and hope that was a success, am going to try and hit next yrs.) so no worries about missing some. Do hope you get some flight video's loaded when you get time.

[@Lee-in-oz]

First woohoo. Thanks Sean another awesome video.

[@andytaylor1588]

Right on Shaun! FMS makes it all good...

[@cmans79tr7]

Thanks for the great explanation of that nondescript panel that you pilots seem to touch so often. Now i understand how you can hit those buttons so quickly with so much confidence.

[@georgefry660]

I'm a non pilot and a old man this is the vid I have been wanting to see. lov your show

[@patrickmorrissey8754]

Sean Your FMC is similar to the Garmin GFC 700. Your explanation as always was simple and to the point. Thank you! Patrick

[@jamescoker9545]

Enjoyed the video and meeting you Friday at Sun-N-Fun!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Likewise, James!

[@NikosWings]

Great vlog and thorough explanation of the panel, thanks Shaun!

[@dutchygirl]

Totally agree on that! You might do a tech video about your Miss X too ;-)

[@chuckeberth4370]

Great tech video Shaun. I always enjoy them. I'm glad things are busy with your new job and I hope you're enjoying working for this company.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you! I am definitely enjoying things here...

[@scubthebub]

I'm sure some people aren't as interested in the details in this video, but I totally love it.

[@123twins7]

Sean, great video as usual, you do a tremendous job with explanations and mentoring. Your articulations are phenomenal.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you!

[@danielmeans4498]

First time viewer. Living vicariously through you. retiring soon to Florida thinking about trying lessons again. thanks for the site

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Welcome to the channel!!

[@danielmeans4498]

Look forward to more of your awesome videos and new locations to visits. Maybe, after I get down there get to me the Mighty Corporate Pilot Shaun...Cheers

[@Pintuuuxo]

Thank you Shaun. All these videos are very welcome and we all appreciate them very much. If you happen to get inside other aircrafts (Gulfstreams, Dassaults, Bombardiers,...) please show them even if you don't fly them because normally your comments are quite good. Keep having fun.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That is actually in the plan very soon...

[@BoB4jjjjs]

Excellent. Now I could crash in style!

[@donc9751]

1st! Uhhh scratch that lol Now that flight guidance panel info is Extremely interesting to me! Great video and info Shaun!!! I just noticed you got another video up today I missed, think it was the flight sim at sun n fun! That'll be fun to see so I'm out to check it out now. 2 thumbs up! Added - must of been a senior moment when I thought I saw another new video, it was your 1st check out ride down to Fulton Ga. I watched the 1st few minutes, I hope nobody ever wrote Alerion especially after you cautioned us not to, that would of been awful and it not only would of been ridiculously bad for you it would have shot all of us viewers in the foot too. Hey, I hope you had a blast at Sun n Fun!!! My pilot was on vacation or I'd have been there buddy!

[@frankmcgee7158]

Thanks, Shaun. It was a pleasure to meet you and talk with you at Sun-n-Fun. Please look me up whenever you’re in Savannah. Take care - Frank

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you Frank..I'm going to send you an email shortly

[@kenhenry2416]

Aloha Shaun! How was sun n fun? Keep the videos coming.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Aloha to you as well! Sun 'n Fun was fantastic...I'm already excited about next year!

[@Blue_Angel.555]

Shaun the man!!!!

[@paugie40]

Tech Tuesday on wednesday i cant believe it🙄😁

[@alessio272]

One of the best tech videos I’ve seen! I’m having a hard time understanding some missed approach procedures. As complex as one may seem, the one at Martin State Airport in Baltimore is challenging. It’s the VOR DME. The arc goes from 14.7 to 11 at the R-68. I understand the have restricted airspace in front of it but why not just have a 11 DME for the whole segment. Super confusing.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I'm not familiar with that one...I'll have to look it up and get back to you.

[@richschindler8731]

I’ve got about 5k in different Gulfstream models, and I knew them as the magic buttons that did STUFF. LOL. With the latest and greatest Gulfstreams, all you need to do is just need to think of a operation and the plane will perform it. Well, maybe not, but somewhere down the road.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

HAHA...thats awesome!

[@aileron48]

Very good explanation Shaun. Is there an autopilot kill switch on the control yolk as well? Thanks, great VLOG!

[@timsfun6653]

Yes, a button on the yoke will disconnect the auto-pilot but leave the auto-throttles active. To disconnect the auto-throttles you would normally press the AT disconnect buttons on the front edge of the throttles or shut off the AT on the Flight Guidance Panel (button top left corner).

[@aileron48]

@@timsfun6653 thanks Tim!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

There are actually 2 methods on the yoke to disconnect the autopilot. There is a designated button for it, or the most common method is to use the electric trim switch, as that disengages the autopilot.

[@batsbattlefield]

how do i arm TO mode before takeoff? (TO in white on the FMA)

[@dougburnett2756]

Just wondering any chance you get together with Jon once in a while and fly with him again?

[@kenreaver3932]

looks like today you are more of a computer monitor than a pilot. Must be depressing. Can appreciate reducing the workload,but every pilot likes to "hand fly:" Modern times. Love your videos

[@lennyboy1993]

No LOC button? So when you are cleared to intercept the localizer, you stay in LNAV?

[@timsfun6653]

That is correct. UNLESS, you are cleared for the approach, meaning cleared to descend on the approach. If you are just cleared to intercept and track the localizer you stay in LNAV mode. Once you are cleared for an ILS approach you activate Approach mode and start to descend on the glideslope.

[@rkspdx]

Neat info! How many hrs a month are you flying?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That varies quite a bit. I've been around 30 hours per month lately, but it can go up and down from that

[@robertcox5799]

Dang I wish I had the money to be able to learn how to fly these planes.

[@biliboc]

Why there is a FL CH and not use constant SPD (selected) + ALTITUDE selection? If I have SPD selected and climbing using ALTITUDE and V/S selected will A/T not keep the selected SPD? Or you need FL CH selected while changing ALTITUDE?

[@timsfun6653]

This has to do with required power settings and the auto-throttles. With a specific airspeed and altitude selected, if you want to climb the airplane a decision has to be made about how much power to add to achieve the climb. Add a little power you get a slow climb, add a lot of power you get a high rate of climb. When you use FLCH to climb, the auto-throttle computers use max available power to climb as quickly as possible while maintaining airspeed (or near idle to descend quickly keeping airspeed). You could do this "manually" using the VS (vertical speed) mode but you'd have to guess how quickly the aircraft is able to climb (while maintaining airspeed) by increasing the climb rate until the auto-throttles couldn't add any more power and the airspeed starts to decrease. On descent, you'd have to increase the rate of descent until the power couldn't be reduced any further and airspeed starts to increase. It's far easier to just use FLCH and let the computers work it out.

[@mrabrasive51]

More buttons and knobs than the original USS Enterprise!..warp speed!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That would be sweet!!

[@StrangerThings4Iife]

One thing that was not answered here that I have always been wondering. When ATC says "Turn left heading 240", I see the dial turns to set 240 for the heading but how do you tell the aircraft to turn left to that heading and not right? I assume that it is based on the direction your turn the knob? I also assume it can't be simply that it will turn whichever direction is the shortest because I am sure there are times ATC wants you to turn a certain direction even if it will take almost a 3/4 circle to get there.

[@mikeh2520]

It's a pretty simple software decision to make a 20 degree turn instead of a 340 degree turn.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Yeah...it goes whichever direction is shortest. It does get trick when ATC specifically asks us to go the long way around, like that 3/4 turn you mentioned. In that case we turn the heading knob slowly around to just keep it turning in the correct direction.

[@StrangerThings4Iife]

@@mikeh2520 I realize that but there are times that ATC actually wants them to take the long turn so that is what I was asking is how to force it to make the turn the long way, the way ATC asked them to turn. I think I understand now based on Sean's response. They turn the knob slowly to force it to turn the direction they want.

[@StrangerThings4Iife]

@@CorporatePilotLife Ah, makes sense. You basically have to turn it slowly to trick it to turn the direction you want even if it the longest. I think I hinted at a great idea though, wouldn't it be better if it turned in the direction you spin the knob?

[@dpm-jt8rj]

Hey Shaun, I saw the Tech Tuesday video on the Nutcracker referring to the spoilers, but do the buckets at the back of the engine cowling auto-deploy also or is that a manual function?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's a manual function. The levers just in front of the throttles are for the thrust reverser buckets.

[@dpm-jt8rj]

@@CorporatePilotLife Your tech videos may alleviate aviophobia!

[@ericlozen9631]

👍=)

[@ILM787]

Why is the altitude dial/knob white?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I actually have no idea...I'll have to ask around on that one

[@pslny]

Felch makes me giggle.

[@volleyguy1001]

I learned all that from Microsoft FSX.

[@maddoc68]

The altitude selection knob looks odd. Seems like the mechanics didn’t have the proper spare parts... 😎

[@courtney123a]

Yes there is - AP/ON and AP/OFF button.

[@robdotcom71]

No YAW dampener?

[@timsfun6653]

The Yaw dampener on/off button is located the forward instrument panel just above the pilots right knee (right next to the electric trim on/off button). It is normally left on for all phases of flight and does not turn on/off with the auto-pilot.

[@jerrykorman7770]

Nice tech video. “Badda bing” you sure you’re from Texas??

[@CorporatePilotLife]

HAHA...pretty sure

[@jerrykorman7770]

Corporate Pilot Life ok then, youse have a nice day

[@dennismassie3552]

👋🏻KSRQ ☀️🌴🇺🇸🛩

[@BelowMinimums]

I hate how you guys call FLCH "felch" because it rhymes with "belch" and I can't stand that word lol. I say "flitch" to solve that problem lol. Belch to me is like moist for many people.

[@neilhargreaves6337]

The fact that it rhymes with belch is far from the worst thing about the word felch. If how it sounds disturbs you, please never look up its meaning ;)
