18:06 God this is my favorite part of landing at Scottsdale airport, that final turn with that whole view What an amazing video

Canadian Airline pilot living in Scottsdale. You're a solid pilot man. Some of the best use of comms and automation I've seen on youtube. very professional. Keep up the good work

Seeking perfection or emulating those who do the same is a good thing! It will help to keep you alive. You have the foundation of a professional pilot, your judgement, to date, has served you well. I also see the value in how Max performs, anyone who doesn't, should think twice about this business. Keep it up!

I loved your flight. What a perfect airplane, and IMHO you few it perfectly. That's a lot of airplane to drive around, but you did it seamlessly. As an, shall we say, older person, I never completed my IFR or Commercial training - everything but the check rides, and that's what counts, right? :-) That was a 100 years ago. Thank you for allowing us to fly along with you. Thanks, N6395T, my EAB, but the Arrow was always my favorite little GA plane. :-)

Henry thanks bro!

Very much enjoying your trips and videos! Like you mentioned, style/presentation a little like Citation Max, who coincidentally flies out of Westchester, NY, which is where I earned my Private. Excellent video and sound quality, good camera angles, and good coverage of flight details (departures, procedures, etc.). I recently sold my Diamond DA40 after earning my IFR and Commercial in it and flying round trip across the U.S. twice in it.... loved that plane! My hope - get a DA42 in the next year or so. Keep up the excellent work! Would love to hear more about where you're going with aviation.... just for fun, or commercial pilot aspirations, what certificate(s) you're working up to, and how it fits into your other career/business activities. Again, great job!

@@westcoastflyer thanks! I love your video. Thanks for sharing all this with us. I got my private license at Phoenix sky Harbor and I just could not wait till my night training it was a thing I wanted to do the most. Then I flew the diamond star out of Scottsdale for several years. Another place I absolutely love going to Sedona. It’s one of my favorite places to fly that is such a beautiful place and the airport is you probably know is on a Mesa with 500 foot drops at each end of the runway. i’ve also done a couple of the Helicopter tours there it’s amazing. They hover 1000 foot up sheer cliffs and you can still see the pottery and the ladders at the Indians used to use there as they lived in those cliffs 1000 feet up from the canyon floor. It’s just so beautiful there, when I see that it speaks to me and tells me there is no way all this just happened by random chance. It’s impossible that’s just my belief but anyway, thank you again.

If you carry a pulse ox, please make sure your radial pulse matches or is very close to what the prob reads😊

Great videos!! Was there a right base/left base mixup by tower on this approach?

Very enjoyable video! Question for you, Blaze: how tall are you? You seem to have plenty of headroom. Last time I sat in a DA-42, it was kind of tight for me but I think the newer ones have a redesigned canopy.

The aircraft is dead silent! They are Mercedes diesel engines and they make no sound. You can hear here in there this buzzing sound in the background from my audio cables, that’s the engine sound. Pretty wild

curious , is the Space X Departure NOT in the Garmin 1000. if it is , why did you have to set your HSI to 230 manually ??

I don’t have to set the 230° manually but I do for situational awareness. The Garmin Perspective + (g1000) does have the space x departure and it will tell you where to go…it was there in the video. Thanks!
