For those not familiar...Max is Citationmax here on KZread. Flying the Citation (N2RF) is his job. The plane is owned by his father and Max is the chief pilot. Anytime Max flies his father, the father requires two certified pilots in the cockpit. Most of Max's videos are just him flying alone on flights to re-position the plane or on the way to pick-up his dad. Some of his videos do have him and another pilot operating as a crew when Dad is aboard. Check out his channel...lots of great videos!

Two pilots are required by the insurance carrier of certain types of policies on various individuals. His dad is most likely one of those individuals. Very nice.

I do believe that Schmiiindy earns a "Greased It" badge..... 🙂

Great to see Mindy back. Nothin better than watchin her and Max fly together.

My favorite phrase for awhile now is "positive rate, gear up" which I use whenever my day gets off to a good start or some weekend checklist chore gets done according to the flight plan.

Two videos in two weeks! Love you Mindy, keep um coming. ☺

Two professional aviators doing what they love. Great job Mindy!

My favorite pilots!!! Thanks for letting me tag along!!!

Love seeing flights from home -KNEW. Pretty good food at Runway Cafe too.

Great professional flight, very enjoyable 😁

A great team. Thanks for the ride.

My favourite two KZread aviators. Brilliant. Thanks

Nice to see both you and Max in the air again. It makes the videos double interesting. Any plans to do any more flights with Steveo in the near future. I'm an 80 yr old who nolonger flies because of health issues. I can't begin to tell you how happy it makes me to follow along on your flights. Your videos are greatly appreciated. Thank you so much !

Mindy! Beautiful ride! Great to see you!

Always a pleasure to see Schmiiny aboard.

Thank you for the view. You both are great!

My two absolute favorite aviators. Oh, and Mindy GREASED IT!

I was simming on Vatsim and heard Max's voice and call sign one night around Chicago. Was happily surprised.

Oh what a sweet ride ! BEST M & M ( Max and Mindy ) in the air over this planet ! Now you both make flying so easy.

Really enjoyed this one watching you work together is awesome.

Let’s not forget Citation Mom!

GREAT episode! Could watch all day. Thank you both for posting this and taking us along.

Always fun to see you two together.

Nice flight! Thanks for the ride along.

You two work really well together. Thanks again for another awesome video.

Mindy!! You are AWESOME!!!!!

Enjoy both of your content. Thanks for the relaxing flight! ✌️❤️🙏

Wasn’t sure if this was a new video or if I had when back in time. Loved their other flights together. Keep them coming Mindy

awesome flight ! thank you !

You're flying with the best captain

Hi Mindy. Greetings from Australia. As a retired Air traffic Controller and private pilot I thoroughly enjoy your content, especially your flying adventures with Kevin. Having you and Max flying together is a bonus and as always an example of professionalism and great crew interactions. Fantastic landing by the way. I think I'd be hitting Max up for one of those custom "Greased It" windscreens for the Bose microphone. You earned it. Much love to you and yours and happy flying.

Enjoyed the flight! Thanks to both of you for uploading; hope to see you soon.

Up up and away with Captain Mindy!

That was a lot of fun , great team , we so enjoy your videos. Thank you for taking the time to share .

The Cafe at KNEW is amazing.

“New Orleans” in the title caught my attention…Lakefront Airport is a spectacular place and Wendy and the entire crew @ Flightline First are as efficient as it gets! Hope you were able to grab a bite @ Messina’s Runway Cafe (way cool). Loved the video!! Fly safe. Mb

Y’all must be really good friends

You got a new sub

These two work so well together. PS Dad is a smart man requiring two pilots. He doesn't want to wind up on some of the other channels like Real ATC where a civilian gets on the radio asking how to land the airplane.

I’m guessing the reroute was because active Warning Areas over the Gulf. I’ve seen Premier1 Driver get similar inland routes to KFMY.

Been thinking about you. Wonder about you and Max flying over the weather that’s been bothering the Midwest and the SOUTH.

Next, Mindy flies the Atlas 747 cargo to Hong Kong. :)

Phenomenal! Great video as always!

Max, after departure you turned on the yaw dampner/dampener, or did you really turn on the yaw damper? Schmiiindy, which one did he turn on?

Can you explain to me in monitor terms why you repositioned the plane to Start the second engine ?

excellent video Schmiiindy, as always, the only comment I have is for Citationmax, I don't know why pilots have the bad habit of abbreviating the word Foxtrot, it is completely incorrect and denotes a lack of professionalism, we can clearly hear it throughout the video, Clearance, Ground, Tower, Departure, Center and so on, everyone says Foxtrot, the only person who says Fox is Max, and I want to make it clear that it is not a destructive criticism, on the contrary it is something constructive, I have been a commercial pilot for 30 years and more than 20 as an instructor and I always try to make each of my students sound as professional as possible, even if they are going to be private pilots, once again I apologize if my criticism seems destructive but it was not my intention, my intention is that every day we continue to grow as professional pilots

Hey @Schmiiindy, did you guys actually record a meteor shower around 25:01ish? Top left of video.

Do you feel like flying the Citation has made you better when flying Mojo or any single engine prop?

Smid, is there some background about this flight? For example, are you in the process of being rated for that make and model of plane? Thanks. Love the videos. You two rock!

@Schmiiindy

Ай бұрын

I have had my type rating for the citation since 2021 but had never used my certificate much. So this flight was still under my limitation of needing mentorship hours with another citation rated pilot :)

How did you move before engine start? APU?

It appears this plane has tiller on both sides of the cockpit?

I loved these two flying together on previous videos! Too bad she is married! They work really well together!!

I live down there and there are BIG alligators down there. Really good fishing. Need to do some meet ups. That is my flying territory. I could have brought yall some cajun goodies or some homemade cookies.

He mentioned it was hard on the starter, and to have the same flow through the engine, you need higher rpms of the starter. All in all, it makes starting harder, and that is something you want to avoid. When blowing hard, it may even become challenging to start I would expect.

Puts more stress on the starting mechanism and, more importantly, there can be a risk of damage to the engine due to reingestion of hot exhaust gases back into the engine

Someone on another thread said when his father flies in the plane Max is the copilot to a more experienced pilot. Is that true and if so why? Max seems from his videos to be a very competent pilot in the Cessna and it's rated for a single pilot.
