That is one big jet!

As a retired corporate pilot whenever I watch one of your videos I find myself missing that life. But, with times being what they are right now, I’m actually glad I retired when I did. If you believe that I have a nice little bridge between Brooklyn and Manhattan I can let you have for a song. Happy flying!!

Stay safe Captain Moonbeam. Glad to know you're doing OK. All the best to you and your family.

Any reason why you are always right seat in the Challenger?

Does leaving the APU on until well after takeoff and starting it again on approach allow you to offload the main engines a little? Do you shed more than electrical load to the APU? Curious minds want to know. Thanks.

@jeffsnaperealtor3050

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, the APU generator shares the load with the right engine generator, Also you avoid shedding the AUX Busses (basically everything in the cabin) in the event of an engine driven generator failure. The APU is also an additional source of intermediate pressure bleed air, so we get better takeoff and climb performance since we don't have to use the engine bleeds to run the air conditioning and pressurization. Also, (God Forbid) if we had a double flameout we can use the APU bleed air to energize the Air Turbine Starters since no engine bleeds would be available in this case.

I see the $300 Porterhouse Steaks came on a bun. Small steak...you got ripped off. Lol.

Great question Neil, Basically the aircraft prohibits use of takeoff power for more than 5 minutes, so the checklist is quite keen on it: That being said use of 'full' climb power is inappropriate in many operations as it gives wholly inappropriately high speeds and/or rates of climb. Maximum climb power is actually cleared for use throughout the flight at operational discretion.

Wonder if your ever going to be pilot in command on the Challenger?

Another great question. In short: It's big! Maybe you could fly it single crew, but you can barely see the on- side wingtip let alone the opposite one. It's a long range aircraft and imagine your trouble if you had to fight a fire down the back?! These guys paid out the wazoo for a jet with 2 Engines, 3, Hydraulic systems, 3 Generators etc, etc, so why would you fly it with one Central Nervous System, One Respiratory system etc etc?

Be more interesting to watch your videos if you talked and showed how the startup process is, controls tell what your looking for.
