As a former Boston Center controller I wish all VFR pilots were as good with check-ins and phraseology as you, good work, makes our job easier

Good Lord! What a gorgeous bird. Seriously, that can make a grown man cry.

Nothing sounds like a Mooney on take off. That low muffled growl like my '66 Mustang and they don't struggle at all. Smooth power.

I have been attracted to the M20J since I first got into aviation. Love these vids and I hope to see more of them!

Man, such an awesome bird! That flight was short but looked very challenging! Fly well brother!

I am not a pilot but been watching all types of aviation videos for many years, I was amazed to see you can speak to a system to change instruments setting like you did.

205J has a gorgeous panel!! Love your videos, please record more!! Thanks for sharing.🙏

Today was my first flight with you very enjoyable and I just love your Mooney. I am fascinated by the voice actived management systems that you showed. Never seen one like that before, you learn something new each and every day. Look forward to more flights In the future best regards Malcolm.

Great fun - Thanks for making these videos - I'm merely a sim GA hobbyist planning how to spend my powerball winnings - sure do enjoy the rides you give us. Your plane is gorgeous. Now I'll go look for your TXi upgrade. Cheers.

Nice glass thanks for taking us along for the ride

Great panel. Just subscribed. In the past I've had the opportunity to fly a M20j, a Mooney executive, the 201 and a Mooney Mustang. Currently fly a Cessna 182 RG. Fly safe

That’s a beautiful plane! I saved this video as an example of what I want my Mooney to be like someday

Thanks for sharing. Love the plane and the panel.

When I was a student pilot at Danbury, my instructor landed a brand new, factory fresh Mooney gear up on a delivery flight from Texas. He was accompanied by another very experienced pilot, and neither of them was paying attention. They both had some 'splainin' to do for the guy who owned the dealership.

Just Wow! What a plane! What instrumentation ! Used to fly with my father in the 70’s. He had a Mooney 20J Somethings remain the same other things like nav and comm. are so different. Beautiful Plane and what appears to me a great pilot😎

Wow, it really is that loud when you throw the power on! XD Awesome vid!

Great vid and nicely equipped Mooney (even though you're upgrading). I want some if that equipment in my plane when I grow up!

Awesome video! Your Mooney is amazing! I'm looking forward to seeing your cross country flight out west!

awesome plane . Thanks for the ride !

Loved this video. I'm training in an Alaris CH2000 and debating on my first plane after I get my necessary ratings.

I used to watch Mooneys in the middle sixties near Love Field, in Dallas, Texas. Nice quiet trip.

Very nice! Thanks for uploading.

Great video! Your camera positions are really good for getting a feel for the flying experience. I'm a rusty pilot just getting current again so it was interesting to see how you use your avionics. I didn't realize that there was so much available...I trained in the early 90s when GPS was just becoming available to general aviation. Seriously considering getting a Mooney for my planned mission. Please post more videos like this!

Sweet Mooney! That panel alone is probably worth more than my 77 Grumman AA-5B Tiger!

Ha! So you're the guys who took up all the ramp spots. I'm based out of Reading (Aero Club) and I flew a few around the circuit that day. Bit windy, but manageable.

And now i fly that very same JPI 930 in a 68 G model great doing business with the gentlemen and his company. I dont know how people fly with old steam gsuge engine gauges

Finally, a pilot on KZread that doesn’t try to bring the gear as soon as the wheels are an inch off the runway! Thank you for being responsible!

Very nice !

I believe you would want a rise in oil pressure when exercising the prop (pulling it back to High pitch, low rpm position is accomplished with oil pressure acting on the piston... multi-engine airplanes with featherable propellers are the opposite... awesome video and Mooney! Looking forward to seeing more

Take a look at this animation when the prop lever is pulled back. www.boldmethod.com/images/learn-to-fly/aircraft-systems/how-a-constant-speed-prop-works/animation-prop-back.gif oil will be supplied to propeller hub causing slight drop in the system since oil pressure gauge takes reading of engine oil system; not the oil in prop hub.

Rmag is correct. In Mooney's, oil pressure drop on cycling the prop.

I really like that voice command function.

Real Nice setup.

N205J is a dreamboat! Mooney's are cool and this is among the best, tho I'd put a three blade on it. Very fine piloting. I'm guessing a Navy pilot.

Nice setup

Love your plane. Do you have O2? What about the plug in portable aviox system?

Recognised the plane from +Premier1Driver's video

Love the airplane! I’m curious if your seats go down at all? I’m 6’7” and thinking about getting an M20J but from your video it looks like your head is really close to hitting the headliner. I’ve flown an m20E but it was years ago and I was a bit thinner.

That's an outstanding video. And I was going to say that that panel is as cool as it gets. But of course with avionics, what you have is never as cool as it gets. There's no fee at RDG if you're going to have lunch at the restaurant ... there's no landing fee or parking or ramp fee, is that correct? Was thinking of flying in there this coming weekend.

Question. Why did you first contact approach before landing even though you were flying VFR? Couldn’t you have gone straight to tower?

@RMAG

3 жыл бұрын

Typically when an airport has its own approach and departure control you contact them first as they route departing or arriving flights into the airspace. Tower handles the takeoffs and landings. If I called Tower outside the airspace they would have asked me to contact approach.

@RMAG

6 жыл бұрын

About 50 minutes. I actually live about 30 min from RDG Airport. I had to drive 30 min the wrong way to get the plane and then fly 30 min to RDG. So it makes no sense to fly other than the fact it was a “fly in”.

Are you at all worried about the possibility of losing all your digital displays if the power suddenly went out or CPU froze up or something? Seems like you'd want to have at least airspeed and altitude steam gauge backups just in case? And a backup artificial horizon would be nice too.

@RMAG

4 жыл бұрын

That is why a have a separate backup. The small unit to the upper right of the G500 is a L3 ESI-500 back up altimeter, attitude indicator, airspeed indicator, heading indicator which is battery powered in the case of an electrical failure.

It’s a warning to anyone that may be in the area that a prop is about to start. It is a safety warning.

Then why do they start the engine one second after saying "clear prop" ? Not much time to get away at all. In most cases, none.

@RMAG

It’s an alert to tell people that may be in earshot to “keep away”. If someone was already “in the way” no a few seconds would not matter. That is why you look left, forward, and right to look for someone “in the way”. Then you don’t start it until they are clear. I always visually clear the area, to make sure no one is “in the way” and then give an audible “clear prop” to alert people to keep away and not approach the plane at this time.

@@RMAG -- Really ? I don't believe that 'Clear Props' is to stop people approaching the aircraft -- it's for the child sitting under the nose (For example). Starting the motor almost immediately that you shout the warning, without a pause, is a poor habit. Automobiles are now equipped with rear-facing cameras. Now, there's an idea.

i can't think of another YT GA pilot that i've watched videos of, that brings it in high and slow, an drops into the runway. so many videos of YT GA pilots flying their 1970's era single engine into the runway like they are delivering cargo and passengers. keep that altitude until you don't need it anymore.

that's nice bro but what are those seats about? you don't look like a huge guy but the actual headrest barely reach your shoulder blades... I'm 193cm tall how could I set that seat or lean back enroute...? 🤔🤔 i know that in old times this was the norm, even 70s 80s cars but how that's a go today?

That’s what the small gauge to the right of “N205J” on the panel is. Backup, attitude, altitude, airspeed, bank, vertical speed, heading and it has separate battery backup. It would be illegal to have an IFR capable airplane without backup instruments. Mechanical steam gauges don’t make a better backup.

That panel is better than porn...well, most porn.

I don't like GPS heading... 😏

I always liked Mooneys but more so when they were not Chinese airplanes. Soaring America Corporation company.
