Hey guys! I wanted to let you know I just launched an "Insiders" Newsletter where once a week I'm sharing an important lesson I've learned in aviation, links to my latest content so you don't miss out, and links to any other interesting or helpful content I've found. Subscribe (it's free) at: airplaneacademy.com/insiders

Wow - I’m really envious that you get to experience things like this with your dad. Thanks, once again, for the interesting ride-alongs!

It's a blessing for sure! Glad you enjoy the videos. :)

“It’s really good to know you have a reliable system to get the gear down.” Amen. Great vid, thanks for posting!

I flew the Citation I/SP a bit. The M2 is a lot easier to start and run the pre-taxi checks! Really impressive how glass has made it much more simple. You're one lucky son!!

You should do a video with your dad on what he does for living and his journey to the M2. Great content! Please keep them coming

Really cool video. If only we had a few million dollars laying around :)

Love this video. It’s always cool to watch as you go through the checklist from dark to alive.

Very cool start up from cold and dark video! Your dad did a great job of going over every detail!!! Now to watch your 1st flight in the new Citation together!! Its really cool that you're going to pick grandma up!!!

Really cool to see the entire process from start to finish. I would love to get a jet type rating someday.

Hey GREAT VIDEO! Now that I know how to start my new M2, I look forward to your M2 video series so I can get my TYPE rating on the Internet along with my already acquired 1972 Private Pilot license!

Great stuff. Thanks!

I see you are the millionaire dude, congrats 👍

Love it, thanks, I am about to have one of these happy days- the day you buy your plane, enjoy it, and obviously the second is the day you sell it for another to enjoy as you trade up.

Very nice, thank you. I imagine you have to be thinking ahead always, especially below 10,000 feet and the 250 knot rule. I have learned through viewing a few tragic accident investigation videos that when turning onto final and on final, you are dipping those wings periodically to make certain, visually, that a careless or newby pilot isn’t about to share your airspace.

Amazing!

Great video!!! Thanks for sharing your passion for aviation.

I was 23 when I got my Type Rating on the 501 and flying by myself at 23! My personal satisfaction was having my grandpa see it before he passed away. What makes that so special he was a former engineer/draftsman at Cessna when they came up with the Cessna 501 Citation in Kansas

As others have commented, you’re fortunate to share things like this with your Dad. Super-cool that you both have the same passion for aviation as well. Similar to you, I also really dig videos that get into procedures/checklists, so thanks for this one! I reckon the M2 is certified single pilot but have you considered getting your type-rating in it as well so as to be an “FO” of sorts with Dad? Have a good one!

@AirplaneAcademy

3 жыл бұрын

Thank you and yes I feel very fortunate that he got me into aviation and it's something we can enjoy together! I've thought about the type rating but simply getting me insured in the airplane is an unreal amount that doesn't feel worth it.... so right now it's not currently in the plans but we'll see!

Charlie, your Did a nice job explaining the startup procedure on the M2. I see he went from a TBM to the M2. I assume he got his type rating at Flight Safety. Curious as to what his insurance carrier requires him to have as far as times and experience and is age a factor? Thanks.

Wait, is it y'all's jet? So sweet, looking forward to you getting the type rating if so.

I really liked this video and your dad is kool

Thank you! And no not professionally, just personally.

What kind of certifications do you need to fly this? In process of getting my ppl and one day would love to be able to fly a jet, for fun not career

I look forward to the day that I can own my personal bug smasher as my missions are expected to be less need for speed and capacity. How does your dad utilize and determine his mission needs that requires a jet aircraft in his hanger?

Your dad sounds like an Astronaut. 😊

One dark and frigid morning in Salt Lake City, I climbed into the cockpit of an MD-80 that spent the night off of the gate. Airplanes, like people, like to be warm. It took forever to wake up the avionics; nothing worked right for about thirty minutes. At least we got the coffee maker working quickly, which at that time of day is critical. My Skylane lives in a heated hangar and I keep an oil space heater in the cabin for extra heating. She's not hard to wake up.

@AirplaneAcademy

3 жыл бұрын

Good stuff... I bought a pre-heater also and though I seldom use it in Texas, it's a total game changer since my hangar isn't heated! Night and day different.

Interesting. In my C441 the generators are off for a battery start. They get reset and then turned on when the Garett/Honeywell TPE331-10 engines complete their start.

Could someone explain to me what “Type rating” means in this context, please?

Don't ask me why but I really love start-up videos.

So does the dad have both the TBM 930 and the Citation M2?? Having both is living the dream for sure but realistically, aren’t TBMs cross-shopped or considered against VLJs (such as the M2)?

@AirplaneAcademy

Negative, he had the TBM for several years and now is in the M2. You're right there is decent overlap.

Y'all have the best videos!!! How much harder is it to fly to M2 vs the 182? 😁

Thanks Matt! I haven't flown the M2 yet but my dad said it's honestly a lot like flying the 182 in terms of being a good airplane to fly. Obviously a lot different, but in terms of just it handling nicely and being a well-flying aircraft, he said "it flies like a cessna." We're gonna do some flights and film it, and I hope to get some left seat time in it at some point so I'll definitely let you know!

Question for your dad. Transitioning from a piston to a light jet, which is easier to learn to fly., The M2, the phenom 100 or would he say they are about equal. I have heard the M2 is more forgiving. Thanks

@AirplaneAcademy

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Matt - I know he hasn't yet flown the Phenom, but he did tell me that the M2 was very easy to fly. He said it was far easier than the TBM and honestly flies a lot like a Cessna (since it technically is one). I got to fly it for the first time this last weekend and it was incredible.

If something goes wrong during start up, should it not shut down by itself being FADEC ???

@ChiDraconis

Actually the only 1 thing need to keep close attention on is if back-fire ( misfire of any kind ) goes to burning fuel in the aft-stages yet compressor stall-the first thing is to then shut-off the fuel _then_ do fire-suppression; but get the fuel stopped *priority!* ▬ my opinion your are correct that fully automated engine control should have preset's for failed-start on the ground with no air-frame motion then my opinion further is design of FADEC is to ramp-up engine "power" correctly per design intent; Selection of which-engine is _super-critical_ to this moment ( Chicago bird strike ) N2 originally was dual-spool shaft rpm difference but is now different;

When you are sitting at home cringing at incorrect terminology while this guy is living the life.

after first engine start, you should wait until BATT AMPS are below 200 Amps before starting second engine to take care of battery life!

It needs to be below 100 amps.

Wow, seems way too many knobs and switches compared with, for example, the Vision Jet. Very nice areoplane and nice Garmin avionics though. Yes I have flown it.
