VFR Flight into Boston Logan. Parallel Approach with a Boeing 737. Runway 4L. Wake Turbulence.

This video is the complete flight from Nashua, NH (KASH) to Boston Logan Airport (KBOS). This captures everything you need to know to fly VFR into Boston Logan. Asking for the code, permission to enter the Bravo, maintaining separation from a Boeing 737 on an approach to the parallel runway (4R). Encountering that 737's wake turbulence (a solid bump) on our approach. Taxiing to the ramp. Also look for a video of the departure on a PALS (compassion) flight from Boston to Presque Isle, Maine (KPQI).
This is the first flight in a G.A. airplane for my passenger, who lives near Boston Logan.

What an Awesome ride! Thanks for letting us Fly with you.

[@tgirouard603]

Great to see a video of a local pilot out of KASH! I'll have to keep an eye out when I have my camera for you!

[@TheSportFlyer-xy6sn]

I've flown into KASH many times, but have so far avoided BOS. Thanks for the introduction.

[@timetofly401]

Sure thing. Happy to answer any questions when/if you decide to give it a shot.

[@mikesiver1950]

That was really cool! Thanks for the flight!

[@craighermle7727]

This is a major flashback. I used to fly in a V35B club many years ago and it was in one of the hangers you just passed. I learned to fly power at an FBO at the South End Across from Gatecity that was raised years ago to make room for ILS equipment. Don Davidson had an FBO at the North End of the field that catered to warbirds. Davidson had a P51 "Double Trouble II" and I got a jump seat ride. What a day that was!

[@timetofly401]

Glad you enjoyed it! We don't see many warbirds today (wish that P51 was still around) but there are a fair number of folks flying aerobatic aircraft including Rob Holland... I flew to Katama (grass strip) in Martha's Vinyard last weekend. I'll get that posted when I get a few hours to get the editing done.

I’ve had this woman in the tower a few times when visiting ASH for touch and goes. She’s good people 👍

[@JeffDearman]

Cool perspective, especially of the landing parallel with the other plane coming in on 4R.

[@timetofly401]

Yeah - it was even cooler in person :) It was very neat seeing that Alaska Air 737 come in and pass us on final. My passenger is now spoiled. It was his first flight in a small plane, now he wants to see stuff like that on every flight.

[@chrisbrindley8432]

Great video!

[@CockpitScenes]

I like the video. I have landed there hundreds of times, yet this looks weird to me because it was always in a jet transport (B-737, B-727, DC-9, DC-8). The approach speeds are so different. At times it has been as high as 160kts. with full flaps. ATC did a nice job of accommodating you with all the "heavy" traffic. BTW, nice job on your part also!

[@CJ-jh9ri]

My first trip to KBOS was from KASH as well. PA-44 in my senior year of college. Hanging from the tail.

I know a lot of DWC grads who can say the same thing.

[@lorencharif1959]

Very cool! Thanks!

[@clays1507]

Yup. Been right seat in this approach outta Hyannis

[@Srbijaizvazduha]

Love the video! I suspect you didn't hit wake turbulence from the airplane on the parallel, but rather jet blast from the airplane departing runway 9 just a few seconds before you were at the threshold?

[@timetofly401]

I feel like I was too high to be getting jet blast, but there was a B737 that was rolling on runway 9, so it's possible.

[@patrickjennings7362]

I fly a helicopter and have landed at three or four major airports but not Boston…I’ll have to give it a try.

[@terrencegeary9690]

23:07. "Pan Pan Anna pound of Banana" is the readback i heard.

[@timetofly401]

Ha!

[@JeffDearman]

Can you get a shot of my house sometime. if you ever land on 15 over Wobur/Maldy... I'm in Winchester Highlands (right by Hyland, and Lobster ) (at least on the takeoffs) I am halfway between WOBUR and MALDY in Winchester....near Muraco School/Winchester High School.

[@timetofly401]

I can try.... typically I get runway 04 or 22. Haven't been given 15 yet.

[@lowellianhellian9788]

Is "wake turbulence" what happened to Mav and Goose in Top Gun?

[@ClaudeFrancois-f2t]

what are you using for communication with tower, also traffic announcement, what program doing that

[@flyinpolack6633]

you flew over my house!

[@privateer0561]

Where the hell was that traffic at 11/12 o'clock/same altitude/1 mile on takeoff? Had me nervous! Also, I'm used to watching bigger/faster planes with autopilot, not hand-flown rolling and yawing all over the place.

[@Colonel_Sandersss]

I would guess traffic on the ground in front of them, might even be picking themselves up on ads-b but I've never had that happen with 1 mile distance

[@janpuetthoff2772]

Nice Video. Landing at BOS is on my bucket list. What are the fees for GA Single Engine Pistons?

[@timetofly401]

With all of the fees (landing, handling, security, etc.) it is over $200… it might be closer to $270 for a piston single. If you call Signature they will give you the latest rates. Note that this is the only airport I’m aware of where you go through security (a private company - not TSA) to get onto the ramp. On this trip I dropped my colleague and picked up a patient who I then flew up to Presque Isle, Maine (KPQI). All fees are waived if you are performing a compassion flight.
