For some flying is merely transportation. For others like us, it’s an improbable endeavor that so often feels like magic. A great privilege and responsibility that opens the door to amazing adventure. An excuse for spending time with friends and family. A reason to get up and go somewhere. We know it’s not about where. We know the journey is the destination.

tell us what you learned if you can please, i would like to learn if anything the rest of us pilots can avoid, thanks
Hahah amazing, very funny edited video and absolutely love the energy of your family and special props to your "mechanic" !😅👌
Beautiful video mann! ❤🔥Don’t worry about it you did great in the amount of stress you had! Always moving forward with the mentality of learning! Take me with you. I’d be a great Co-pilot G4 Pilot! Great kudos to you! 🙌🏽
I just had an IPC today even though I was current. Let’s f’n go!
god bless your family and your lovely kids, please i really want to know, if i have a long flight lets say 7 hours flight on an airplane from new york to london how much oxygen inside the airplane at 35000 to 40000 feet at high altitude will i have the same symptoms that you guys had before using oxygen device?? And what is the difference when it comes to feeling symptoms in your own plane and the commercial airplane?
Those airplanes have pressurized cabins. Which means the air inside the cabin is like the air around 8000’ I believe (it may be 6000’). If the cabin were to have a loss of pressure you would only have a couple minutes to put on the oxygen mask before you’d pass out.
I would love to upgrade my steam gauges I just can’t justify the insane purchase prices and high cost of installing glass panels. That extra money would go a long way towards actually flying
What a beautifully crafted video !
The bang for buck with Dynon is insane compared to Garmin. Spending 40K with Dynon will give a powerful IFR set up installed. 60K on Garmin will only give you the parts. You'll have to spend another 40K to install it.
Yeah agreed. It’s a great value.

Man, I gotta say, you are a good plane owner that takes care of their plane!
Fuel management with flow and range is the best bit for VFR.
The feeling she's expressing I can relate to as a pilot. I still get the feeling when flying. Glad to see content like this, Great job!
Yeah IFR should be required for PPL
Is it a reason why he didn't tell them he was feeling disorientated?
Solid video. Very relatable. In our pursuit to become perfect pilots, that ever unachievable goal, pride can get in the way of sharing our mistakes. Thank you. I really appreciate how willing you are to use your experiences as a tool to teach the rest of us. Quickly becoming my favorite aviation channel.
Just got a fully equipped Dynon/Avidyne Seneca III. This video definitely helped me get up to speed on it even though I can see it was a few software versions behind now. Thanks for the info!
Wow this video was incredible
3 degree glide slope can be done much easier…. Half your ground speed & ad a zero. 140 KTS GS / 2 = 70 plus 0 = 700 feet a minute.
Nice
Awesome video bro...gr8 team co-operation
I'm in my mid-50 and have been dreaming of getting my private pilot's license for thirty years. $15k-$20k to complete the course is out of my reach. I would love to use my master's in HR to work for a company that offers flying lessons. If you hear of such a company, let me know. 😊
Sitting here eating lunch with my toddler and holding my 8 day old daughter trying to hold back my tears at that outro.. well done
Thanks! Enjoy the time when they’re little!
Thanks for the motivation bro I’m about start my career now 🎉
Best of luck!!
This one time, I hit light chop on descent. Scariest moment of my life. Could barely type the pirep I was shaking so much. - Delta pilot
GREAT video! Thanks for sharing something personal and extremely beautiful that you and your family do together. I pray you have thousands of safe flights and a lifetime of enjoyment together.
Good video About xwings I use Decrab, Is not , Crab angle ,or Sideslip, Is combinatión of the las 2, but you land with LG level, I used from Pitts to Airbus 320, also on DC-3, C-46, and DC-6 in all been Captain. And for a Glide 3°, descend , you must loose 300' x 1 NM, and for that Is G/Speed , d ivide by 2 example 140/2=70, so you add a 0 that Is 700/minute, of descend, well shortly I Will have Manual where I talk about that, and more. "Happy Landings"
Really incredible ! Nice job of restauration.
Eric - what kind of landing height sensor do you have installed that beeps at you the closer you get to the runway? Can you post a link?
its an angle of attack indicator that is part of the Dynon HDX system. But there are ones like you describe which are laser based landing height systems that call out 50 feet, 10 feet, 5 feet....landingheight.com/
I got obsessed over motorcycle, and got my endorsement. I dont own a bike. I obsessed over getting my ppl. I dont see the point. For me, i make 77k a year and flying seems like a hobby rather than an investment/asset...what wpuld i do with it? Can i make money with it? Im torn
you can get a commercial license and there are lots of jobs for various types of pilots. it seems to be a good time for it right now...
Whatever you do mate, just don't grow a beard. You look just like prince Harry.
haha. thanks i guess?!
I am a VFR only pilot and fly in northern and central CA. Mostly uncontrolled airports. I want to learn the best route from Bakersfield to Long Beach Daugherty field. Any suggestions? I’ll probably hire my CFI to help plan and fly it the first time.
You could fly over the grapevine into the Santa Clarita Valley and then descend to 5500 and pick up the coastal route over LAX- it's published with the LA area TAC. Its a simple procedure and you talk to SoCal during it. after LAX they would give you a descent and hand you off to Long Beach. def talk to your CFI and look at that charted procedure.
@@SoCalFlyingMonkey Thanks for the input. I’ll discuss that route with my CFI. I enjoy your videos. Have a fun and safe summer. ☀️😃👍
Flight planning is the best way to navigate turbulence. If there is no way to avoid it, flying close to gross and slow down is the best you can do and for the love of all things, turn off your autopilot!
Hi. I have a dog about the size of your dog Maltese Shih Tzu measuring 13" around head under chin over ears. I don't know if the small size is best in the 4 paws aviation ear muffs or the medium. 13" is Max measurement for small and minimum measurement for medium. What size did you get and was your dogs measurement similar/ less or more? Can you tell me the dimensions of the out shell and inner space for the ear? I emailed the company but as yet I haven't heard anything yet. I'd like to get them asap. Thank so much if you can help.
Excellent storytelling and cinematography. Have me hooked and now it's time to binge and catch up on all your videos!
Outrageous.
Yah stick it to the man!
When your instructor first flew the canyon in an F-100 you know he is the REAL DEAL! Amazing!
Thank you, Great video.
Holy shit you can see the outside through the door seal during the closeup on his face angle shots… I know it’s not a pressurized plane but idk why I thought planes would be as tight as cars around the door jams… that’s wild!!
I have been doing landings at Sedona through flight simulator and I always have to do at least one go around. I am always coming in high but thought it was just me and my limited visibility. Glad to see real life is not that different. I keep thinking of my instructor so many years ago saying “there is no shame in doing a go around.”
Just installed a Vision 385 in my RV-6. Your video is an excellent introduction to the functions of the autopilot. Thank you!
Great video, thank you!
Absolutely love how the story was shot and narrated.. You nailed it! 🎉🎉❤
❤
Thank you for your efforts. In this case since private businesses are partially involved this publicity may help. In general though where government is involved (FAA, IRS, FBI, Congress, etc) if no funding is cut or no one goes to jail then nothing will ever change. (Many people don't want to hear that.)
😊 Love this type of motivation. Well done. 🎉
Did you do any recurrent training/proficiency flying during those 5 months? If not, anything you would've done differently? I am about to receive my engine back from overhaul and have the first break-in test flight in a couple weeks.
This is the kind of video I like.
Considering the costs involved on these aircraft engines, I'd be breaking mine in on an engine dyno. Full day's dyno time is about $1500 around me, you can run it for 5-6 hours and do all the checks you need to do. Considering you paid $20K for the teardown and service from what I remember in the last video, seems like a relatively minor additional cost. Plus something like a Supertech dyno is going to have computerized programs for breaking in the piston rings. Just my $0.02. I am not an aircraft owner so take it with a grain of salt.
Nothing was done to the cylinders so they didn’t need to be broken in. No mineral oil, no full power operation for 10 hours etc… just the cam and lifters.
This is awesome, stumbled on your channel while looking to see how much aircraft cost (my son is 15, I'm hoping he'll buy a plane and fly me from Michigan to Florida in the winter. :) Would you be willing to shore how much the upgrades cost you?
