Steveo cool video mate and super interesting perspective of a single pilot IFR at night in abnormal ops. May I please offer some advice with my Air Traffic Controller hat on. If you’re rolling your eyes and thinking “whatever ATC just clear me to land bro and drink your damn coffee” that’s totally cool! If you’re still reading then awesome! As an ATC I’d be SUPER SUPER KEEN (deliberate caps) to know that you’re not ops normal. You might not consider it an emergency and you obviously don’t have to declare a PAN if you don’t feel it’s warranted (it’s ALWAYS the Captains decision) and therefore not want to announce it to the world but I can assure you that I’d treat you a wee bit differently if I knew you were dealing with an in-cockpit irregularity. Me personally I’d give you less time critical control instructions or group them in order to allow you more time to resolve what ever it is you’re dealing with, that sentiment is probably shared with the vast majority of Controllers. Unless it’s turned into a full blown emergency and you need to hold for a while it’s more than likely not going to effect you position in the landing sequence or forecast landing time. I acknowledge the ‘Aviate, Navigate, Communicate, Administrate’ mantra within pilot community. As such I come at the end of the initial ‘actions on’ for abnormal ops but I’d still keen to hear from you that something isn’t quite right. You don’t have to give the full details of course just a little “Approach I’ve just got a light going off in the cockpit I’m just going to run a checklist” and I’ll be totally cool with that. I’m not going to jump backwards through my own bum, hit the crash and roll out the emergency services. At worst I’d just speak to the Tower and let them know you’re working through something and to treat them with kid gloves. Hope that helps or offers a different view, happy to discuss further.

Stevo you are a phenomenal multitasker - Dealing with what could have turned into a fairly significant emergency during the busiest part of the flight, didn't miss a radio call or instruction, AND continued the show, calmly explaining what was happening and what you were doing to fix the problem to us viewers. Glad everything worked out. Keep the great videos coming!

I am 60 years old and have flown with my father quite a few times. My father is deceased now but was in the Canadian Air Force flying many aircraft including a Lancaster bomber then onto an air ambulance pilot for many years followed by Transport Canada and then Canadian International Development agency in Barbados and retired and flew charters for a while and managed a local Flying Club in Saskatchewan. I could see how much professionalism is involved and I really enjoy your videos! My father survived a crash in a Harvard just to get up very soon afterwards and continue his career. You sir have a very professional cool calm matter and I appreciate you taking the time to explain things. Before I lost my leg to cancer above-the-knee I took some lessons and had 9 1/2 hours of logged instruction without Ground School. I was able to do so many things in those nine and a half hours but I did not continue flying and instead made artificial limbs for my career before I retired. My joke was that I was a male prosthetist. Very very cool video and thank you😊👍👍👍

A few years ago, I was flying from Louisville KY to Dallas TX on an Airbus jet, one of those smaller, older passenger jets. I was lucky enough to get the seat right in front of the main door, by myself, and was responsible for the door in an emergency. Sure enough, I noticed the entire flight how the jet seemed to be leaning to the left the whole time, as if we were constantly turning. I could hear alarms up in the cockpit, since I was right up front. The flight attendant tapped me on the shoulder, and said "Sir, I'm gonna need you to be aware that the plane is having hydraulic problems, and you need to be prepared to open that door if needed." I confirmed, looked back, and they were moving people to the right side to try and balance it out. Luckily, we landed safely.

New addition to the pre-flight checklist: "Do NOT utter the phrase 'Easy Money' at ANY point during the flight." Lol ;)

I am instrument rated private pilot, owned a Lance T tail with DME, fully loaded in 1990. Live in Largo, Florida flew to the Bahamas and mountain certified in Colorado. I am 82 and can't fly anymore except with you guys. I enjoy flying with you. Thanks for the memories.

You handled it really well. Kept cool, didn’t drop any radio or tasks, and tried a few times, checked emergency checklist. At no time did I think you didn’t have it all in control, and backup plans. Im a student pilot, and loved your running commentary on the flight. Grew up as a kid as a passenger with my dad who was a private pilot, and I too always loved night flights the most. Thanks for sharing this I’m glad I found it.

It was 22 years ago yesterday that my dad, an RAF flight engineer on Lancasters, died. On the 21st of Janury 1951, he was almost killed in a night time crash when he lost three out of four engines in a Lancaster bomber. Unable to restart them, and with a full load of primed bombs, they crash landed on the runway, near the munitions store, and the pilot was killed outright. Sitting right next to him, my dad was trapped by his left ankle. Thankfully, even during the severe danger (the aircraft full of bombs was on fire) the navigator went back and pulled my dad free. It would, I'm sure, be a dreadful thing to watch but how technology that wasn't available then has moved on. It was great to see and hear your calmness in handling that situation Steve. Welll done.

You had your hands full, busy airport, ILS approach, emergency check list and you didn’t miss a beat. Great job, kind of prophetic how you just mentioned the importance of always flying the airplane first right before the incident. Impressive.

Your professionalism, and obvious great flying skills, well being paired with a great personality and humble attitude, makes you a winner with everybody that watches and follows you. The extra stuff you throw in after the flight is over is really the kicker!! Everybody I sure your videos with says the same thing, "SUPER COOL". Your work makes the other guys look sadly boring.

@2Fast4Mellow

If things are going to quickly. First rule: Always keep fly the aircraft, communication comes second. One of the easiest ways to give yourself more time, is by simply slowing the aircraft down. Keep in mind that while you are slowing the aircraft down, you keep vigilant about unwanted behavior of the aircraft. If the speed reduction are causing other issues (new vibrations or sounds) notify ATC that you are experience some issues with the aircraft. Electrical issues can cause all kind of weird issues. Luckily on these smaller aircraft, most important systems are mechanical. Most EFB applications can also essentials information like speed, heading and general altitude (all calculated from GPS) and can help you navigate if the primary instruments go dark due to power issues.. Still wondering why comms and the orimary 6-pack often do not have their own emergency battery, so they keep working in case of power loss..

I appreciate your professionalism in this video, and how your self-control allowed you to make an uneventful approach and landing despite equipment failure. Any pilot who follows the example you demonstrated in this entire video will be able to manage such an incident without losing composure or control of the aircraft. THANK YOU for your good example. p.s. Once upon a time, I had a starter stay engaged with the flywheel due to a Bendix failure during takeoff from the old, grass SCE. I noted slow climb performance, 150 rpm less than normal, and extreme low voltage (since the starter was now a generator, but reverse polarity!) I pulled the master breaker when the smoke started, and headed for UNV which had CFR facilities and longer, wider runways. That was the longest 5 miles I ever flew!

Is it calculated to achieve the most fuel efficiency?

Nothing like a single when issues arise. Twice I was bailing out everything not needed to gain altitude. Fun times, I will not miss.

That sunset...Wow! I love flying at night too. It's so peaceful... Nice job handling the generator failure. Thanks for sharing-great demonstration of keeping your cool during unexpected events!

Steveo - Thank you for a great video on how to stay calm. I even pick up a bit of excitement in your voice when you picked up the generator issue. It is almost like you enjoy having a out of normal flight. Cheers and thanks for all your dedication to your channel.

Wow . I love when explain what your doing as the flight progresses. That was incredable Stevo. That was a very serious failure. I wish I had time to really express what we just witnessed. Awesome ,

I don’t understand the problem but I know Steveo made it look easy. Whatever it was.

Essentially, his generator is a primary producer of electricity for all of the aircraft systems. If neither his main generator nor his standby generator worked, his battery would have run out of power and his entire cockpit would have gone dark - no instruments or anything.

Matt Damm thanks. That would be spooky.

There is a lot going on in this plane that's for sure.

I used to fly B727 200's and I gotta say you are an ace pilot. All checks and calls done on cue, all gauges on the dot, balanced flight. Keep up the good work pal.

I have always been a aviation buff. I really enjoy watching you prepare, fly, and follow thru. I grew up with a best friends dad flying. He would tow gliders into the air in Alice Springs, Australia. Back in Virginia, USA he had a flying club. His son and I worked for the US government. Our branch we worked with had some cool King Airs the we flew in quite a bit. We liked flying in my buddies dad's Cessna 310 twin. My buddy retired and now flies for a missionary. Unfortunately I never made the time to get my pilot license. I really want to commend you on letting you know how greatly appreciated it is that you tell us exactly what you are thinking and doing while flying. There is a calmness that is generated from this. I like to learn. Thank you for taking the time to explain what's happening. It's sorta cool that I watch you quite alot that now I know some of the things you are going to do before you do them. I am getting better at understanding the radio garb so to speak. How is you new part time flying job going? How is that new TBM?

Steveo: What a mess!! \*proceeds to mop the mess right up and carry on as normal\*

Amazing!!! It was all going swimmingly until you Jinxed the flight yourself 17:41 Not even a sign of panic in your voice though. Great Job Steveo

Outstanding poise and cockpit management with the inflight emergency and load shedding from the main generator failure. I have watched several of your flights and particularly enjoy how you cockpit manage. Great stuff! Kind of makes me miss the glass cockpit. Would love to fly with you some day.

WOW Steve glad all worked out. Knowing your stuff helps and constant training helps as well. Good job!!!!

1:18 that feeling when you have to go back to get the camera..

Great job handling that emergency situation. I can hear the prognosis from Socata already: too many audio and or video recording devices running concurrently. LOL Love the videos, keep up the great work.

I've never had a failure in all the years I've been flying. Great job keeping it cool.

Got to admire that very crisp radio technique, not to mention the calm emergency recovery. Thanks for the ride!

17:40 Steveo - "This is EASY money!" TBM850 - "Watch me..."

"Easy Money" hehe - well handled sir!

Love the colors and Sunset.....Thank you again Steve

...great job as always steveo. ..as a long-time subscriber...love all your videos..always reacting to the problem and quickly finding a solution..and always good to know exactly what to do during an unexpected emergency...training..training.. training...

Can you show the repair? Good job using the backup..

Took my first flight lesson at brooksville when I was 9. 23 years later I’m still in aviation.

Nice calm handling of the problem. Love the channel.

Great job staying alert and focused to work the problem.
