Is that the original Norden bomb slight?

I was briefly thinking about getting into flying and building a kit plane RV8 or so but thanks to this video I realized that unless you have a very large amount of time and money it's probably not a good idea :P

great

Loved it, I'm an ole paratrooper, not use to landing. 😅

No money…?

Big runway at a 90-ish degree angle from the one you took off, in a real emergency I might aim to land on that one, depending on how much length is left. At my main airport I have something similar, with long runways. Better to take the turn a bit easier and land on a different runway than to try and crank it around and stall the aircraft. Ofc this doesn't work with a single runway airfield.

Hi FlightChops! What sources have you used to plan your trips in Europe? I'm curious if there's one that lists small airports and their specifications. I know only METAR and TAF apps, they have almost no specs for airport sizes and landing fees.

Three of us bought a Stearman a year after I got my licence. What a wonderful airplane that was. I had hours and hours in her. and flew it for twenty years ~

Great video - as a very newly-qualified pilot, it’s oddly reassuring to see more experienced and far more capable pilots thinking about and analysing their flights for opportunities to improve. Gives me hope I will keep getting better. Thank you for taking the time to produce and share your experience.

GOD BLESS ALL, THE EXCELLENT, MENTORS, ON, HOW TO FLY, A BUSH, PLAINS PLUS THE NAVIGATION, TOWERS, PLEASE CONTINUE, WHAT, YOU, DO, SO WELL, THANK EVERYONE, FOR THIS EXCELLENT, INFORMATION..

LOVE WHAT YOU DO, PLEASE CONTINUE WHAT, YOU SO WELL, PLEASE, CONTINUE, TO SHARE ALL, LOVE, IT ALL. GOD BLESS YOU ALL. ON ALL YOUR TRIPS

Come on Chops. You Know Better. GO STRAIGHT AHEAD. The second the scenario commences, the airplane belongs to the ins. co. Go straight ahead. If you are 2000 agl you can shop for a place. I believe in Aqp. And. Stick and rudder by Wolfgang L.

Such a helpful right on the mark video

as someone looking to get in to GA, I feel very grateful for having seen this. Very interesting video!

Have done this in my Sling4. 600ft is OK provided there is enough of a headwind to improve the climb angle. Have a hostile airport environment at my home field in terms of off airport landing sites - I like the idea of considering a return to the airport property rather than fixating on a runway return to keep that wing loading low and the risk of stall-spin down.

The Only problem that I noticed in your first Landing is you didn't use any checklist and you FORGOT you Mixture FULL on landing.... OOPS....

Great vid, thanks

This is why Cessna sells a turbocharged version. 🙂

This is FlightChops at its best - thinking how to help others 'live the dream'. Community focussed, authentic, humble, inspiring. This video also made me think about how to make the most of those empty-seat flights, that I could share with others. Thank you for all that you do.

I need a SR-71 speed check to shut those old guys in props up!!

Most engine fails are partial power. Power go down due mostly lost one cylinder. On 4 cylinders engines will go down to 1,800-1,900 rpm. Just about Minimum Level Power (MLP). Practice MLP Slow Flight . With about 10 degr. flaps. Fly along a highway, pick a spot and turnback back and forht to it, Flyover many times to it flying over the highway and turnback again. A friend with only 70 hours total, took off on a C172 with 3 adults on board, rpm dropped to that, but he had training turnback from 400 agl. He turned back from 300 agl, --landed opposite. No damages. We took Turnback Training in the 1990's,. Partial and total EFATO we did with EmergencyLowManeuvering channel.

5-10 degrees of flaps and no problem.

As an Aerial Combat Photographer, I went TDY to George AFB, Calif. for about 3 days in July 1967 to learn how to handle our Camera Equipment in the back seat of Fighter Jets right before I got my Orders to Vietnam in Aug. 1967. While I didn't get to fly in an actual Fighter Jet... I did get to fly in a T-33 Jet Trainer. It was the most exciting thing I have ever done in my 77 years on this Gorgeous Planet ! On our 2nd day our "sister flight" got cancelled and the Pilot asked me if I still wanted to fly or "Scrub" the mission ! "ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME " I replied Let's go ! This Pilot like me and and even tho I was only a 2 Striper he let me fly the plane for a couple of Hours. He showed me how to do Figure 8s, Barrell Rolls, Cuban 8s, he even let me blast thru the clouds over Southern Calif. He told me I was a Natural Pilot and Flying that 2 seater Jet Trainer was a total blast for a 20 year old kid ! When I got to Vietnam they then sent me to Thailand where I was assigned to a B-52 KC 135 base at U-Tapao, Thailand. I loved flying with all of the USAF Pilots on B-52 and KC 135 Refuelers over North and South Vietnam ... but Flying that T33 Trainer Jet was Off the Charts as far as Exciting !

One of my favorite aircraft is a pity they stop flying normally

Surprised this video doesn't have more views. I had a similiar experience documenting formation flying. I find it odd, because formation flying is a fantastically rewarding skill to learn. Thanks for coming to Europe.

What a thing. Twice as expensive as the atomic bomb to develop, and way more engineering. Such a shame it had such a short life.

Such a cool plane that’s the one Red Bull uses

I flew a Beaver floatplane for 40 years, contact was what I always said when the mags were hot and switches off when I shut down. The PW R985 can be fun to hand start especially as it lacks an impulse coupling in the magneto which most other small aircraft have. Moving the prop while the mags are on isn’t as hazardous as it is on a Piper or Cessna but still bad practice! Some pilots prefer hand propping the two blade engine versus the three blade, each has their upside and downside. This pilot prefers NOT to hand prop and fortunately seldom ever had to. Every pilot who flys in remote areas should know how to hand prop, it is not difficult but you must have someone who knows how to show you. The only injury I ever had from hand propping was a cut finger from a rough prop blade. Two bladed Beavers on floats can get rough leading edges from the erosion caused by water spray or water vortex at the prop tips while taking or taxing on the water.

This is his first fight in this type of aircraft and he sits in the co-pilot seat? I would rather take a bus.

❤❤❤I love your content… I’ve been watching you for years now. With your dedication I now have about 3000hours on flight sim. Failed pilot selection but certified Ejection seat engineer for 10years now. Keep your flight chops sharp 👌🏾

"INSTINCTIVELY "😊

Surprised this was attempted from a standing start instead of a rolling start turning onto runway

Some airmanship points I observed. Just before starting any maneuver perform HASELO Cxs. 1. Height- at or above safety altitude. 2. Airframe- Clean Config. 3. Security- Nothing lose in cockpit/baggage secure. 4. Engine- in Green 5. Location- Not over built up area or water body. 6. Orientation- Select reference point and field in case of engine quital or forced landing For clearance scan and cx area inside the turn, nose to other wing tip, over the top to the inside turn is clear. The last bit is essential specially if in formation.😊

Could definitely land on that roof. Not sure how you’d get the plane down though 😅

That looked like a lot of fun. Nice work.

I have practiced the turn back in a RV-14a. A 45 degree bank @ 85kts had less altitude loss than 95kts (No wheel pants). Key points, if you don't know all of the parameters then straight ahead is the best option. I always calculate the altitude where this becomes an option. After takeoff, I allow the crosswind to push me a little off center line as my reminder of which way to turn. This also reduces the amount of turning. When the wheel pants are finished we will run the numbers again.

Outside controlled airspace, you don't even need a radio (like no physical radio on board at all), so I don't see what surprised you. On the other hand, there is no bush plane, you can't land in the middle of nowhere and camp there: there is no middle of nowhere anywhere in Europe, all areas are populated and land owned by someone.

At my airfield, they land a PC-12 on the grass when they feel like it, so a Cessna or a Bonanza, that's not really an issue

Hey I think your husband's calling you😂

The controller in the tower in the video is Kjell, an avid aviator with tons of experience in gliders and other aircraft too. Retired as a controller now, but afaik he still flies airplanes!

Great video! I am curious why you are acknowledging tower takeoff clearance with only your call sign and not the full clearance plus call sign. Is it a Canada thing or simply because you are the only one in the airspace and briefed tower on your plans?

Prop Stop glide only works on airplanes with a Vglide speed under the normal 55 knots prop stop speed. I used to teach prop stop landings from a 700 agl base leg on Cessnas (55knots w full flaps). And land Prop Stopped. It is BS it will glide better under the published vglide- which is 70 knots or more on most low wingers. or 60 knots plus on most Cessnas. Many crashes and stalls lowering the Vglide to stop the prop which is mostly at 55knots. 55 knots only works on some LSA's and most will not glide further but be at minimum sink airspeed because the Vglide is higher than 55 knots, not maximum glide but they say on those videos. They say they are at Max Glide at the 55 knots prop stop speed, which is BS. So 55 knots for prop stopped you need on most USA GA. That is under Vglide for 90% of USA GA.

Nice DC-3 in the background! :D

That copilot is sooo scared and insecure of the Vglide 45 Turnback. He needs to practice lots more. Do first The Vglide speed level turbacks. After flying along a highway, flyover a spot, get room for turnback and flyover again at Vglide 45 bank level until you get used to turnbacks, then do the EFATO after. Good to learn them on GRM Turnbacks first. Many accidents when doing GRM turnbacks, and Box Canyon turnbacks and Circling Turnbacks. Ignorance is not the solution. Ignorance is the problem that causes accidents..

That looked like great fun. nicely done Steve.

Nice work Steve - certainly a need for a lot of concentration and flightpath visualization. :)

It is s beautiful flying and what everyone dreams of doing. But only with proficient pilots and very proficient instructors. Just don’t think it is the safest thing for two buddies to go out and try

Very enjoyable! Thank you Steve, great flying!

wow...that looked intense fun....well done.

Great training, one doesn't know how "sloppy" their flying is, until you try this kind of precision flying.
