Traffic Alert! (TCAS-RA) Arriving in South Florida from the Bahamas.

[@gblank70]

Another Great Video! As a Flight Test Engineer, I really geek out on the engine start sequence. Thank you for including that video as a bonus.

[@AccidentalAviator]

Glad you enjoyed it! I'll do one of the full initialization and engine start sequence soon. Since that was the second flight of the day, I could skip all of the system tests.

[@Unkawz]

absolutely beautiful video......especially the takeoff sir

[@AccidentalAviator]

Thanks a lot! The Bahamas just make for some absolutely beautiful videos, especially north Eleuthera!

[@carlmclelland7624]

Another great flight, Wally, BUT... I get the next leg!!

[@AccidentalAviator]

You're probably going to have to fight a bunch of people for that to happen!

[@raccoonair]

Nice touch adding the visual cards to the startup; thanks for sharing.

Great video and content...thanks... from freezing with snow UK

[@AccidentalAviator]

Glad you enjoyed it! It's been a really strange weather year here in North Carolina. Is this early or is it strange to have snow already in the UK?

Thank you for adding the flight route !!!

[@AccidentalAviator]

No problem! I've been trying to remember ono the last 2! :-)

[@freds5619]

The Navy used to have a torpedo range near Eleuthera. We used to get down there from Navy Jax in the P-3C

[@AccidentalAviator]

I didn't know that! I'll have to look into it. I know there is a submarine base off of Andros!

[@freds5619]

It was common to be the subs leaving FLL and headed over to that range.

[@MrKevinH]

Another awesome flight. Love the beautiful water between the Bahamas and south Florida. Thank you!

[@AccidentalAviator]

It's just completely different there!

[@lndrvrus]

Love the content. Working on my PPL now out of F45.

[@AccidentalAviator]

I've been in and out of there a bunch. I did a lot of flight training in the early 2000's at that airport. My father did a lot of Glider training out of there too. Please let me know how you progress, and thanks for watching!

Excellent video !! I hope that you have a chance to visit harbour island if you had longer time in between flights. I agree flying in the Bahamas is a lot of fun.

I'm anxious to get it done. It's been a while and I can't wait to have it back.

[@cantstandtheestablishment4004]

Love the videos. Please keep 'em coming. I need another pilot to follow as one of my favorites has pretty much retired and isn't posting much anymore. 🙂

[@AccidentalAviator]

If it was Premier1 Driver that you followed, he just put a video out yesterday for the first time in almost a year!

[@michelebouvet8074]

You can also try zhese pilots: Blancolirio, Mentour Pilot, Captain Joe, Pilot debrief and Growler Jam. All excellent, responsibke and are excellent teachers who do a LOT of research into accidents and topics.

[@AccidentalAviator]

@@michelebouvet8074 KZbin used to show everyone else the people I actually follow, and I follow all of these except Captain Joe and Growler Jam. I'll check those out! The channels I enjoy most are the ones I can learn from, and the ones you've mentioned seemed to be the best. I've always felt you can learn from others mistakes, and there's proper ways of telling those stories! I appreciate you watching and if I can answer anything or show anything in a video, please let me know!

[@freds5619]

That runway in N Eleuthera looks WW 2 vintage

[@AccidentalAviator]

A lot of the Bahamian runways are made out of a combination of coral and cement and are pretty bumpy. As Bahamas runways go, North Eleuthera was pretty decent!

[@douglasgunn8443]

Any chance you could put the flight routing in the description? We can put the info into Navigraph/SimLink and fly the same routes in the simulator.

[@AccidentalAviator]

Done! I'll start doing this on all of my videos. The routine is usually at the beginning of all of my videos but I realize people don't always catch it there! The routine on this flight was: MYEH SOFAR OLAHS3 KFXE

[@dalemullins4562]

I assume that 250 kt under 10k speed limit still applies over the ocean?

[@AccidentalAviator]

This is actually a REALLY GOOD question that I'm going to have to get back to you on! I ASSUME that ICAO has a 250kt speed restriction under 10,000 feet, but I don't really know and I'll have to research this!

[@freds5619]

How is the Arrow coming along?

[@AccidentalAviator]

It's coming! It's been running for a while. I'll be down there for 3 weeks in December and we'll finish it up and get it signed off. It's destined for North Raleigh near the end of the month for some new avionics!

[@av8or971]

FYI that cirrus was NOT clear past the hold short lines before his radio call.. Why do people insist on reporting early, when they are not clear?

[@AccidentalAviator]

I figured someone would catch that and I considered editing it out. Hopefully it's a teachable/learnable moment for people. Report clear once you're off, not on. You can actually get in trouble if you're caught doing this.

[@KC-pq2dr]

I look forward to your content. Thanks for the time and effort it takes.

[@gregdildine99]

Thanks as always for sharing! If atc doesn’t slow you, when do u reduce from 250? Seems like u stayed fast until the vectored “downwind.” What speed do you usually want to be at when given the vector to intercept LOC? Thanks! (Btw, you nor Citation Max seem to verbalize speeds compared to everything else you say out loud). Im just a sim guy, but your videos help a lot!)

[@AccidentalAviator]

So, in the USA there are only a few places that you actually have speed "limits." The obvious one is 250 knots under 10,000 feet. You always see us comply with that one. Most arrival procedures have a mandated speed of some sort (again, usually 250 knots below 10,000) because they will have multiple planes on the arrival and they all want them to be doing the same airspeed. The other places you have speed restrictions are: 1. 200 knots within 4 miles and 2,500 feet of a Class C or D airport, and 2. 200 knots UNDER a class B. This is the one that gets a lot of jet operators because they may operate out of an airport under a class B, and your climb speed is 222 knots in the CJ3+. You need to be aware of that and climb at 200 knots under a Class B (for instance, flying out of RYY (Cobb Country) or PDK (Dekalb Peachtree) underneath the Atlanta Class B. Beyond that, speed is usually your discretion and/or controlled by ATC. As a rule of thumb, once they start vectoring you for the approach I'll start slowing to 230 and 200 knots. Very frequently going into South Florida they will tell you what speed that want anyway. When I'm on a vectored approach a few miles from the FAF, I'll usually be around 180 knots (which is the minimum airspeed in icing conditions other than takeoff or landing in the CJ3+). On approach I'll go to flaps 15 (approach) and slow to 160 knots (flaps landing speed). One dot above, landing gear down, and glideslope intercept, flaps 35 (landing), then slow to my approach speed. Hopefully that answers your question! As for myself and Citation Max not verbalizing speeds, the only time it's required is when it's ATC assigned, and that's probably why you don't hear it much (although I get assigned speeds into Lauderdale A LOT). Thanks for watching and keep the questions coming!

[@gregdildine99]

@@AccidentalAviator thanks so much for these replies and the information!!!!

[@gregdildine99]

@@AccidentalAviator I meant verbalize as part of your narrations and not with ATC. Like how you read out all checklist items and AP engagements, etc.

[@AccidentalAviator]

@@gregdildine99 Gotcha. I've discussed speed restrictions on arrivals, but I guess I don't point out when I'm slowing down on non-assigned airspeeds. Thanks for the tidbit!

[@AccidentalAviator]

@@gregdildine99 Any time! I love answering these questions.

[@soflaav8r]

You're supposed to advise ATC if you have an RA, and you should file an ASAP/NASA form.

[@AccidentalAviator]

A few other people have said this to me, but it's always been my understanding that you don't need to unless you have to maneuver. So, I looked up the regulations, and this is what it says: FAR 91.123 (C) states: "Each pilot in command who, in an emergency, or in response to a traffic alert and collision avoidance system resolution advisory, deviates from an ATC clearance or instruction shall notify ATC of that deviation as soon as possible." My clearance was 2,000 feet, heading 180 and I was "maintaining visual." So I never deviated from my clearance. Is there another FAR that you're referring to because I'd really like to know if I'm wrong about it!

[@gregdildine99]

Is there any formal atc call to admit you to the ADIZ?

[@AccidentalAviator]

Nope. You just need to have a transponder code (which I got when I picked up my IFR clearance). You also need to file an electronic APIS manifest with Customs. This is basically a list of all passengers and crew on board. You need to do that going both directions (in or out) of the United States. That whole process could be its own video, but it's pretty simple once you've done it a few times.

[@kennyhoward3571]

How do you steer your plane?

[@AccidentalAviator]

I assume you mean on the ground? You use your feet to push on the rudder pedals left and right. In the air, it's a combination of the control yoke and the rudder pedals! I hope that answers your question!

[@emylrmm]

Note his use of the ENTIRE runway when departing.

[@AccidentalAviator]

The 3 most useless things in aviation? 1. Altitude above you. 2. Runway behind you. 3. Fuel in the fuel truck.
