I can see it in your face that you're progressively enjoying the creation of your flight videos. To you it's like having a group of people (your viewers) with you on sometimes lonely flights. Us viewers are fortunate to be able to watch the adventures of Captmoonbeam. All very entertaining and learning experiences for us.

Sweet, safety, and professional landing😍

Great video mate! Watching your video's from Adelaide, Australia. Flying the Caravan in FS2020 and I must say it's an amazing aircraft and a true work horse of the industry.

I grew up near float planes in Quebec - my great uncle owned the local "airport" ... two large hangers with fuel service. I love the Grand Caravan. In doing work in Belize, I still remember landing in soccer fields adjoining local schools, or flying along the coast through a fog embankment. Easy peezey. I lived in Victoria, BC, and I thought I would have seen more Grand Caravans. I did see a good deal of De Havailand Beaver's and flew on them, but I never flew on a GC. Nice video!

Love the mid-flight talk!

Part 23 certification requires stall speed of 61 knots or less in landing configuration for single engine aircraft. The 208 stalls at 64 knots with condition lever in low idle and 61 knots in high idle in the landing configuration. The high idle along with vortex generators on the Fowler flaps necessitated all that for certification.

Great new style! You get better and better on your vids, truely improving at the moment :-) Thank you very much, Sir! Bassy regards, Benjamin

Excellent video - thank you. As a fellow former commercial pilot, I really appreciate your read backs, as it is obvious you have a) been alert and paid attention, and b) you read them back in a clear, comprehensive, and professional manner. It was good to hear ATC also appreciate your read back, as they obviously value this. I see so many recordings of hurried, incorrect, incomprehensible pilot communications to ATC which really make me cringe, and to be honest, it gets my "goat up"! I wish more people would adhere to the original "Aviate, Navigate, Communicate" school of thought, and realise that although ATC are busy, read backs are not a "speed test", and ATC would prefer you get it right and correct, rather than just read it back the quickest. Keep up the professional flying ...... really enjoy your channel. Best wishes from the UK.

Thanks. Every student pilot should learn that.

Love your videos... just subscribed about 3 days ago!👍 My whole life growing up as a kid that's all I could think about is flying and wanting to become a pilot... back in the 70s I had every monthly issue of flying magazine and airplane magazine... and you know how life is... sometimes things just don't turn out how you thought they were going to... never realized my dream of becoming a pilot! I'm enjoying your videos more than anything else on KZread... I so appreciate your including in the videos getting up in the morning and doing breakfast and traveling to the airport and you show the whole show... it's really cool seeing what the daily life of a pilot is like.... thanks for all the work you put into filming all aspects of your day! I especially enjoy how you have such a humble and courteous attitude to all people as you travel! Now I'm 53 years old and could kick myself up and down for never realizing my dream when I was younger as I always thought I would growing up.... watching your videos definitely confirms that being a pilot would have been the perfect career for me! May the Lord watch over you on your journeys...Thanks again for the great videos!👍😁✈🇺🇸⛪ Bob...

You should. The Q&A really helps a lot of us who are into the details of the airplanes and the flights. Even those who ARE flying still may never have the opportunity to fly a Caravan, or a M2, let alone an XLS, so there's a lot to learn and be interested in. For example, how many PPLs, even with an Instrument and Multi rating, get to use radar? An explaination of that might might interesting, or the FMS in the XLS (since I'm now working on FMCs and MCDU/CDUs.) You know as well as I do that pilots crave information about airplanes and systems. :D

Love the video and all of the questions answered. I don't think you've talked that much in a video before, but it was very enjoyable. Let's hope you don't come down with what everyone else is having these days.
