Icing Encounter & Flying Lean of Peak - Philly to OK City in a Baron 58
This is part one of a four part flight from Philadelphia area, to Oklahoma City, Las Vegas, Sedona, Phoenix, and back.
In this flight I talk about how and why I fly lean of peak, as well as the anti-icing systems of the Baron 58 after encountering light to moderate rime ice.

thats a wonderful avionics setup
Good for you for including Moderate in your report as it seems like you picked it up fairly quickly. As a reminder to everyone severity estimations are roughly based on the accretion rate of ice on an airplane, and the levels are determined by the time it would take for an airfoil to accrete 1/4 in of ice: trace, 1 h; light, 15 min-1 h; moderate, 5-15 min; and heavy < 5 min.
I bought a 2004 Baron 58 6 months ago and really enjoyed your video. Based KLQK.
Also, i am getting installed 2 750s and garmin 275. How do you like the 275?
@@greghall9141 The 275 is awesome. I have a Cessna 150 we put three of them in! kzhead.info/sun/dZ2tnr2OnamFaJE/bejne.htmlsi=BeuX9c0Hacqr0TRP
Very nicely done.
I hand it to you real pilots that know how to fly planes. I can only fly in Microsoft flight sim and not very well but enjoy it very much and I use your setups for my honeycomb bravo throttle quadrant thank you . your plane looks great you have done alot of work on it and it shows 👍
Pop-up instruments = yes.
Thanks for video……but for those of us who LIVE in flyover country, many of us like it and on the ground there is a lot to see. 😊
Fly over country is the heartland of America. Love it and the people. From high up in the air though it’s just flat fields after flat fields and all blends together. Certainly not as impressive in the air as the Rocky mountain elevations, etc. This flight instead of fields upon fields, it was clouds upon clouds!
Just discovered your channel! Wondering what is that triangular mount you have on top of the dash? Been trying to find something similar for my videos but don’t know what it’s called
Welcome. It’s a GPS friction mount with a GoPro mount put on it. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001B663TE/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Do enjoy your videos , I have E55 Baron , looks like Scimitar props how do you like them
I like the props aesthetically I think they’re pretty cool looking, but I bought this Baron with them on it so I don’t have a frame of reference to compare to any other prop sound or performance. I will say the engines are very smooth.
