Proficiency is important, but so is not breaking the owners aircraft in front of his very eyes.
Enjoy the landings!

Somebody else playing at Josh's airport. Nice plane. For a while my ramp neighbour was an AA5 Traveller. Sweet. 😍 Here in southern British Columbia we had a spectacular late summer and fall and I flew enough that it was starting to get expensive. It moved my proficiency to a whole new level.
Love love love the Grumman tiger!!!!, favorite plane.
As always you make it look easy. Love the Tiger!
Too kind!
Just finished my PPL in travelers after doing my first 40 hours in a C150. Grummans are the absolute best! Starting my IR in them soon 😏
Nice!
8 hrs single pilot IFR in IMC. Loved the stability, handling and visibility from the cockpit. Waay better than a C-172.
@@rhensontollhouse with my IR checkride scheduled for next month, I can’t help but agree! Very enjoyable plane to fly in IMC (looking at about 4 hours, myself…not single pilot)
Interesting destination! 😎
We're really enjoying this series and finally you are in a proper plane! wings in the right place, convertible and a tiger on the tail!
Haha great to hear!
Nice flying mano! Looks like a good plane to fly!
Obrigado cara!
Very nice
Looks like butta mate!! Nice job as usual.
Worked the line/FBO at San Marcos for a few years, super cool to see you there!
Brilliant!
I saw this video title and immediately jumped to the conclusion that you were Flying with @Just Plane Silly since he is a CFiii and can endorse you for PIC in that aircraft.
Nice landings sir 😎
🙌🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!! Tiger owner in Crystal River
You picked a great aircraft!
Well done sir. Tiger owner for a few years now and I've yet to have landings as smooth as these.
Ah that’s very kind of you 🙌🏻
Nice video and good flying. Got a Tiger 3 months ago, absolutely love it! Do you have a link to the full video that you reference at 9:45?
Common down to Kissimmee. I'll grade you with full clipboard and 50 year CFI mustache!
The Lightspeed headset is much much clearer!!
I think the Grumman Tiger's are cool as hell, but it kinda bugs me that they have a fixed pitch prop. I like constant speed props.
I agree with you too! However, MT Propellers makes a 3 blade electric constant speed prop! Considering buying it someday.
Dean without a Meyers is that allowed?
Believe it or not, I like lots of different types of planes! LOL! I’m just not doing long cross country flights with just one other person much anymore. The Meyers is a traveling machine! We needed a Tiger for my employees, and a Cougar twin so I can get my multi rating and multi time.
Doesn’t Fletch have a cougar for sale?
🇬🇧
I would like to hire you to help me with my instrument rating.
Aviation101 Cameo (soon)?
Nope 👎🏻
Anyone else concerned by what looks like separation down the length of the tailcone bottom (parallel to those oil streaks)? I believe these were bonded aluminum aircraft, at least in some places.
I’m no maintenance expert by any means, but this aircraft was meticulously inspected and signed off by an A&P mechanic before this whole trip.
I noticed that as well. Any Grumman experts care to chime in?
I’m not a Grumman expert, but I have owned a Tiger for the last 5 years and there is nothing on the bottom of the fuselage that looks any different from mine, (other than the oil streaks). That is just the way they look in the bottom.

I’ve claimed it as my own
Flaps are 'Spring loaded'? They can go from 40 to ZREO instantly if you mess up? OUCH!!! I do love this plane. Can you fly with the canopy open? Like you said...being 'current' is not enough. I couldn't afford to stay 'proficient' so I quit in the eyes of safety.
You can fly with the canopy open as long as you are below 113 knots IAS.
@@davidpierce8613 So much fun...break open then canopy.
The electric flap switch can spring past neutral to the up position thereby causing the flaps to come up. The flaps are electric so they will not go instantly.
So that aircraft has what is called a 'none stearable stearable' system. Ie, you can't directly control the nose but you can control it with the brakes. In aircraft hydraulics there are 'self idling' systems and 'none self idling' systems. The second one can idle with the help of a PRV, Pressure Release Valve. Confused yet?
Um...I think you're mis-understanding. There is NO mechanical connection between anything in the airplane body and the nose wheel. The nosewheel casters; it just swivels as the airplane rolls. My flying club has a Grumman Cheetah and the steering system is the same. If you're used to rudder pedals steering without brakes in other plane brands, it's definitely a transition.
@fsodn Thanks for that. The Jet Provost that I used to work on had the same, a castoring nose wheel that is not attached to anything and independent Port and Stbd. In aircraft design it is called a none steerable steerable system. As the aircraft can still be steered, but only by using the brakes.
You keeps saying Proficiency when I think you mean Currency. Proficiency is how good you are, Currency is how up to date you are and is what you lose when you don't do something for a bit.
No, I mean proficiency. Currency is the requirement of what you need to be legal to fly. For example, Biennial Flight Review keeps your certificate current. 3 takeoffs and landings within 90 days makes you current to fly passengers. Proficiency is taking things a step beyond currency. You could do the 3 takeoffs and landings and call it a day but if those 3 landings are bounced and the worst landings you’ve ever done, you’re not proficient. You’re current because you’ve done the 3 of them, but you’re not good at what you’re doing. I’m already current, but taking it a step further to make sure I’m proficient in this aircraft.
@UCZpKVVWt1Lbw14qGyIr45pA This is a great explanation and example. You’re legal to hop into a Grumman, but having no experience in one means no proficiency. This is why you see me in this video with the owner practicing before my next flight. I’m already current in single engines, but I’m doing it all in the name of proficiency.
