Your comments questions are as usual highly appreciated.
Enjoy!
Happy Landings,
Guido
I'm not a pilot; but I'm really enjoying these. Thanks for sharing
Hi Kevon I am glad you like the videos. Why not go to a flight school and get an introduction flight...? Happy landings, Capt. Guido
a master of his craft. a great watch. safe travels capt Guido
Thank you! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
A very helpful insight into crossing the atlantic. I hope to do one day in my own Mooney so thank you
You are most welcome. An Atlantic crossing in a light aircraft is a challenging and very rewarding flight. Enjoy! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
very instructive professionell airmenship. Funny: Explaining "Fjord ( valley)..:-) A pleasure to watch, particular when the world outside is frozen..Thank you again.
Only my pleasure. Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido
Wow... Planet Earth is such amazing. And you are privileged to see it by your own eyes. Thank you for sharing it with the rest of us. My best wishes.
+Renato Guardiola Thank you, Renato. Time will tell what global warming will do to places like Greenland. Happy Landings, Guido
these videos are so informative. But there is so much to absorb....
Thank you! The videos should be entertaining but in the same way somewhat educational. Thanks for watching these. Happy Landings, Capt Guido
Great video. Beautiful plane..
Thank you very much. Happy Landings, Guido
WONDERFUL... Your's is the best flight videos on the internet! Really appreciate all the work.
+John Goldhammer Thank you, John. I try to make them better every time. Happy landings, Guido
As a student who just began his training, your videos are hands down the best on You Tube. Outstanding job, Bravo.
Thank you Todd. Have you completed the flight training? Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Awesome, we live on a beautiful world!!
+elton cultice Indeed we do! Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido
Guido, Many thanks for all these vidéos.
+Francois Lejeune You are very welcome, Francois. Happy Landings, Guido
Thanks ! Hope you will post some news vids in a mooney or a beehcraft soon. You are a very good instructor !
I will do - I have a lot of raw video material in hand. Happy Landings, Guido
Guido always doing wonderful videos! Tks
+caduguimaraes Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido
Excellent flying! Thanks for sharing!
+Nicholas Nemirsky You are very welcome, Nicholas! Happy Landings, Guido
Takes a lot of confidence and experience to cross big water in a Mooney. Hats off to you.
+Yak Rider Thank you. It requires experience and respect for weather etc. The engines are very reliable. Happy Landings, Guido
I wish I could give two thumbs up! Very entertaining and educational video!
+Henk Verlinden Thanks for the "double thumbs up", Henk! Happy Landings, Guido
Mr. Warnecke, thank you for the precise explanations of phraseology. I am an air traffic controller and an instrument pilot, so I've seen both sides of the spectrum. Proper terminology and phraseology is crucial to separating and expediting traffic in airspace. I move over to military piloting later this year and I know your videos and strict adherence to procedures will benefit my flying. Cheers.
+Chim Chimmy Thank you! I totally agree to your statement. Thanks for your service, will you work as a civilian or serviceman? Happy Landings Guido
+Guido Warnecke Currently enlisted in the Air Force. I earn my commission later this year followed by pilot training.
Beautiful work, as always
+New Mexico Sport Aviation Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido
Very instructive. (That's in my bucket list!)
Thank you, Daniele! It is not very difficult - so go for it. However there are a lot of risks involved. If yo have an engine failure, your chances of survival are very slim. Happy Landings, Guido
One day. I'm working toward my instrument rating...
Do it as early as you can. It makes you a better pilot (even in good weather). And it is all much easier than you think. Reading books about IFR gives you the impression its a very complicated topic. It's not. Happy Landings, Guido
Absolutely love your videos, I'm glad you are posting them again.
+Emerson Butler Thank you, Emerson. I hope I can reduce the gaps between 2 videos in the future. It takes a lot of time to make these. Happy Landings, Guido
Beautiful photos! What a great flight that must have been!
+Ian Dykens Thank you, Ian. I was very lucky with the weather. You do not fly to Narsasuaq if the weather is not at least VFR. Happy Landings, Guido
Whether in an airliner or a small piston single, you sir are a professional at all times. No wonder the owner of the Mooney chose you to ferry it across the Atlantic.
Thank you Matt. Happy landings, Capt. Guido
what a beautiful place to fly. Loved the photos at the end. Thanks again Guido
+John Lorimer Thank you, John. A beautiful place to fly over and a very hostile area for any ermergency landings... Happy Landings, Guido
Can't get enough. And always use a checklist!
+Helmut Lutsch Thank you, Helmut. Part no 6 (BGBW to CYYR) of the video series is in the works. Happy Landings, Guido
Thanks again for another great video. That looked like a fun approach and landing. Very scenic
+ Chris Williams Thank you, Chris. The views are indeed very nice. Happy Landings, Guido
Enjoyed the video and slide show! Thanks for taking us along once again!
+George Forall Thank you, George! Happy Landings, Guido
Another great video. Fascinating. Thank you :)
+Tylerama You are very welcome! Happy landings, Guido
Speed brakes are a wonderful addition to the Mooney airframe. I have flown Super 21 and Marks 21. Mooneys are so aerodynamically clean, they are easy to overspeed if one is not very careful. Thanks for great videos Guido. Very professional.
Yes it is a great tool to control the speed and keep the e engine warm. They normally add 500fpm descent rate at the same speed and power setting. I will shortly have an other video that shows the use of SB's in a Mooney. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Great to see you posting again, Guido! Always love your videos. I learn a lot! :-D
+YYC Flyer Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido
Excellent videos, thank you. They are one of the reasons I'd like to start my instrument training soon. The small explanation inserts in the videos are very educational! Looking forward to many more of your videos. Thanks again.
+rotoforever Thank you! Your words make me very happy! Best of luck for your instrument training. All is very theoretical and "dry" at the beginning. Once you start flying IFR in the real world you will see how easy it is. And it makes you a safer pilot. Happy Landings, Guido
Great video Guido and such amazing pictures at then end!
+sorted0blud Thank you! I am glad you liked the slide show at the end too. Happy Landings, Guido
A beautiful landing Guido, thank you for your educational and interesting videos.
+Lightning77305 Thank you very much! Happy Landings, Guido
great video.. many thx Guido. :)
Thank you for watching my videos. Happy Landings, Guido
Absolutely beautiful terrain to fly over. Thanks for uploading!
+Eric Francis Thank you, Eric. it is a very nice, albeit very hostile area. Not a good place for an emergency landing... Happy landings, Guido
True that. Definitely thorough planning and preparation needed to make such a flight.
great landing. awesome video. thanks. for sharing.
Thank you, Murat. Happy Landings, Guido
Amazing flight! very good landing! I am clapping
Thanks for the applause... Happy Landings, Guido
Great as always!
+Lakerspud Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido
Absolutely fantastic, love the zoom technique you use to show what is actually happening.
+etma01 Thank you! It adds a lot of work to the video editing but I think it is worth it. Happy Landings, Guido
Hallo Guido. Phantastische Bilder und sehr gut geschnitten und bearbeitet. Ich wünsche Dir stets beste Gesundheit! Thomas
+Thomas Schulze Vielen Dank Thomas! Happy Landings, Guido
Ich sehe Dir gerne bei Deiner professionellen Arbeit zu. Vor allem Dein filigranes Motormanagememt gefällt mir. 😉
Danke, Thomas. Den Motor muss man gut behandeln, vor allem wenn man nur einen hat ueber dem Nordatlantik... Happy Landings, Guido
Time flies when watching your videos. Good work.
+Josue De Paz Thank you, Josue. I hope you don't watch them during office hours at work :-) Happy Landings, Guido
+Guido Warnecke OK don't you worry about that. I have a few questions for you: How do you like this plane compared to the cessna 182? and, what was your speed during cruise flight?
These are different aircraft: the C182 as the big family plane and around 140 kts, the Mooney is the "sports car" with limited space but a speed of 180 knots. Happy Landings, Guido
+Guido Warnecke Thanks
Thanks for an awesome and informative video as always :)
+LR2k8 You are very welcome! Happy Landings, Guido
I am really amazed... nice video... What is interesting... I have started flying 6 years ago... More and more after I have got IR rating and other licences and by the time I do stricktly all cheklists and mandatory procedures, because this is the most important thing in all planes for long term survival :)... I appreciate your precise flying and holding the rules - especially checklist in all phases of flight, making the procedures in right time... yes... thanks for perfect flying and teaching me and others...
+Ladis Ferrys Thank you! You are doing the right thing when using checklists. Happy Landings, Guido
More excellent stuff Cap!
+TheCpage66 Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido
Awesome as always, sir! "Follow me" car in a such a small airport, that's quite suprising to me.
+Elisey Rodriguez Thank you, Elisey. The service at BGBW - altthough not cheap - is very good! Happy Landings, Gudio
Amazing vid ..great adventure well done
+Ali Shel Thank you very much, Ali! Happy Landings, Guido
Great video !
+55bess Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido
Excellent ! Tanks for the pedagogy
+KZhead777 - Brevet Pilote Privé PPL - LFPZ - Avion Robin DR400 - Tecnam P2002 - You are very welcome! Happy Landings, Guido
+Guido Warnecke Thank you! Greetings to Biarritz. I was there only once in 1999 - still as a private pilot - in a C172 ob the way from Germany to Oviedo, Asturias. Happy Landings, Guido
+Guido Warnecke Ah!... Could see strong crosswinds there... PS. We are Paris in Paris
Outstanding production. Heads and tails above the run of the mill "landing xyz aircraft" on KZhead. Just the right amount of pop-up instrument images and correct length of time to view each. I hope you're making enough to pay for your troubles.
+Phil G Thank you, Phil. Not really a commercial motivation to makes these videos - it's all about sharing my passion for aviation. Happy Landings,/ Guido
Spectacular!
+The Flying Reporter Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido
Beautiful video. If I pass my Calculus exams I get to go to the flight line in 3 weeks. Thanks for making such inspirational videos Guido!
+Andrew Barta Thank you, Andrew! All the best for your flying career. Happy Landings, Guido
Like I said on the other video, you're the best, keep up the good work!
+scotty wisely Thank you, Scotty! Happy Landings, Guido
mikewlkr2 Entertaining informative and very professional. Congrats from Brighton UK.
+mikewlkr2 Thank you! Greetings to the UK & Happy Landings, Guido
I love your videos! Would love to see more of the ocean!
+Henry Lefkowitz Thank you, Henry. The flight is mostly above the clouds. Happy Landings, Guido
Is there a publicly shareable email address where I might contact you. I have some things I want to ask you.
email at the end of the video
I subscribed and I don’t regret. Thank you. I love these videos but personally I prefer flying to Dubrovnik, Croatia, or to Siena, Italy 😅
Thank you for your subscription. For you and your family I wish a Merry Christmas and all the best in 2024. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
superb flight
Thanks a lot! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Thank you . Awesome .
+Greg Coldwell (wiffel) You are very welcome, Greg. Happy Landings, Guido
Thank you!
+Kári Harðarson Thank you, Kari. Happy landings, Guido
Please upload more videos, watched all few times :)))
+Mihail Miklaševskij More videos will come up shortly. Thanks for your patience. Happy Landings, Guido
Wow, fun time!!!! I would pay to be a passenger on that flight.... cool man!!
Thank you! Your money is better spend by buying a first class ticket with the airline :-) Limited cabin space in a Mooney. These are built for speed. Happy Landings, Guido
While watching, I was wondering whether you manage to take pics because if not it would be a waste. And you did surprise me towards the end of your video! To more happy landings Captain! Cheers & stay safe! 😊
+Irsyad Khan Thank you, Irsyad. I take photos when it does not interfere with flight safety. Happy Landings, Guido
Guido Warnecke Agree with that statement. Safety first! 👌😳
Great video! .... I have 1000+ hours in a Mooney but no G1000 time....so I really like the sub titles and explanations
Thank you. I like the Mooney a lot - fast and easy to fly. Happy Landings, Guido
Part 4 and 5 look identical Captain but terrific flying none the less.
+busyend The last video uploaded was "freezing up" for 20 seconds or so due to a technical error, so I uploaded the same video again.
Understood sir and thank you again. Through your videos I get to see sights I wouldn't otherwise ever see, so technical glitches aside...fantastic quality and as always, very informative. Safe landings.
Vielen Dank Guido, das war mal wieder eine gratis Flugstunde mit extraordinary scenery ;-) Mein Status ist jetzt: groundschool completed - morgen geht die Praxis so richtig los und nach dem Video freu ich mich umso mehr darauf. Viele Gruesse, Rene
+TheProvinceofBC Vielen Dank, Rene! Fuers weitere Flugtraining viel Erfolg & Happy Landings, Guido
Got the notification for this one too and got my like back on there! :)
+Alex Morin Tahnsk Alex. The previous one had a technical error and "froze" during the take off roll. I uploaded again the same video Happy Landings, Guido
Repost or not :) still an amazing video. Two thumbs up.
+Jan Winther Sorensen Thank you, Jan! The first video contained an upload error (video "freezes" for a couple of seconds during take off). This is the reason for second upload. Happy Landings, Gudio
Guido, Thanks for more of your informative videos and the newly added legends to highlight the controls. I see you re-uploaded this - due to a break in the first one? This one also seems to have a break at around 6m 28s Best regards Nigel
+ Nigel Andrews Thanks Nigel. I will check this. I do not know why it got stuck. Happy Landings, Guido
Great video! Love your work! Subscribed! Love the Mooney! Love the G1000! Is that a dry suit you are wearing? Thanks so much for your instructional videos! I have to watch each one multiple times to see and understand all the details you provide! Can't wait for the Greenland to Goose Bay leg! I'll be waiting!
+Paul Brown Thank you, Paul. Yes, it is a dry suit. I am busy editing the BGBW-CYYR video now. May be a couple of days until finished. As you have subscribed to my channel you will automatically receive an email when the next video is up, Happy Landings, Guido
You posted this already. Maybe intended to post part 06? Looking forward to it!
+Nat Frey Thank you! On the previous upload there was a technical error and the video "froze up" during the take off roll. So I uploaded the same video again, seems to be ok now. Happy Landings, Guido
Really enjoy your informative videos. Could it be possible to add some kind of timecode? So we can see how long the flights are going and at what points certain requests/commands are made?
+Bartimaeeus Thank you! I will check if I can incorporate this into the videos. Happy landings, Guido
Another informative and educational video Guido - thank you for showing the way it should be done. Just a quick question: why did you elect for runway 07 when the wind was 220/8? Regards Andrew
+Andrew Tuley Thank you Andrew. The reasons for 07: - I was still high and fast for a straight in approach to runway 25 - runway 25 has a down slope Controller mentioned the tailwind component, if I remember correctly 7 knots. Happy Landings, Guido
excellent videos! I can't count how many times I watched the transatlantic videos to prepare for when I did a similar trip. Question about the G1000. Does it have the same features as the units in bigger machines , minus whatever extra functions are paid for?
+PrairieAviation Thank you! There are quire a lot of software options on the G1000. I do not have the pricing for that, but it makes really a difference. Happy Landings, Guido
very good
+antoniooliveira287 Thank you, Antonio. Happy Landings, Guido
Great video as always :) Do you use routing's within 60mins? I am sure you do as ETOPS would come into play, just wondering hehe! Thanks, Ellis!
+PilotPrayer With a single engine there is of course no ETOPS... Flight is well outside of gliding distance. The engine does not know this :-) Happy Landings, Guido
Very educational, as usual. Thanks a lot. If you have received the line-up-and-wait, and then the controller approved your request for a 60 second delay to complete your checks, is the "line up and wait" clearance to enter the runway still valid? From what I've seen "Airspeed building" seems to be British, and "Airspeed (is) alive" American. :)
+pinkdispatcher Honestly, I cannot answer this question. May be an ATC here knows this. Common sense would say, the clearance is cancelled. Correct: The airspeed call "building" is mire UK or South African. I still hold my South African ATPL valid. Happy Landings, Guido
Thanks as always for the excellent video. Why did you elect to land with the wind on 07?
+Harvey Greenberg Thank you Harvey. Runway 07: > There is high terrain on the approach to runway 25. > Runway 25 has a down slope > The terrain over Greenland is very high, BGBW is a sea level. This requires a steep descent. As he Mooney is very "clean", it is difficult to do a straight in approach to runway 25. Thanks for your comment and Happy Landings, Guido
What values are you looking for in EGT in order to achieve the best mixture setting? When instrument panels were analogic pilots use to talk about an "inverted T" on the EGT gauge but nowadays everything is digital. Thank you for all these great videos Guido!
Thank you! When setting the mixture, a digital engine monitoring system helps as it monitors a cylinders of the engine. The older instruments cover the "hottest" cylinder only. Depending on the phase of flight (climb, cruise or descent) the mixture must set differnetly. In climb at high power settings typically 100F above ("rich") of the peak EGT. I cruise this can be set to peak EGT, to 50F rich of peak and in some engines even 50F lean of peak. Happy Landings, Guido
capt. Guido, remember me a student pilot who grt u in indonesia, when you delivered the seneca?
+Mario Makaminan Yes I do! Please send me an email (address at the end of the video) and I send you some photos from the deliery. Happy Landings, Guido
I have a private single engine ticket, but if I need to go somewhere I sure wish Guido was at the controls as PIC.
Thank you very much for the confidence you have in me, Ron. I am just a well trained pilot. Happy Landings, Guido
I miss your informative videos. Any chance of them making a comeback?
Hi Scott, here a link to my newest video: kzhead.info/sun/dMpslrqob4RulZ8/bejne.html Thank you for your patience & Happy Landings, Guido
I always enjoy your videos Guido and this is no exception - partly because it's in a single-engine GA aeroplane that I can identify with rather than your normal bizjets. Couple of questions: what technique are you using to adjust mixture - rich/lean of peak EGT or do you have target temperatures or fuel flow? And using speed brakes some miles from the airport - wouldn't it be more efficient to reduce power, or were you concerned about overcooling the engine?
+Stu Peters Thank you, Stu. Mixture: this is airplane specific. With balanced fuel injectors, lean of peak is ok, otherwise rich of peak is my preferred operation mode. A lot of damage to the engine can be done, especially at high power settings. Speed brakes: the Mooney is very "clean", so you can't get the required descent rates without over speeding. The ice cap in Greenland is quite high, so if you come from the East you need a steep descent to reach BGBW at sea level. The speed brakes are small and no as effective as in a jet. Engine at idle is not a good idea. Happy Landings, Guido
Thanks for the detailed descriptions! Why doesn’t it have a Garmin auto pilot?
Also, are you using ferry tanks?
Hi Louis, not sure why this autopilot was installed. No ferry tank on the flight. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Nice flight, please can you tell me the distance and your autonomy. Thanks , sir
Hi Marko, this aircraft can fly 5 hours with reserves at 175 knots (nautical miles per hour). Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Wow, that Mooney sure has some range
+lumpmasta Range, speed and fuel efficiency of the Mooney is amazing. Happy Landings, Guido
+Guido Warnecke Very cool. Best part is that G1000. We have them on our DA40s at my school. It's an incredible system.
Hallo Guido Sehr schönes Video, danke Dir für´s hochladen. Ist denn Teil 1 und 2 auch irgendwo online? Liebe Grüße Michael
+Michael Sachs Teil 2 kommt spaeter, Teil 1 hat wahrscheinlich nicht genug Rohmaterial um einen Film zu schneiden. Happy Landings, Guido
I noticed on this video or another that you used CWS mode on the S-TEC. When do you find this useful?
+Harvey Greenberg Hi Harvey, the most important use of CWS is to adjust the pitch command on the flight director when you ahnd fly the aircraft. Happy Landings, Guido
ha-ha, "taxi into position and hold" is an American version of "lineup and wait" ))) still can hear both used )
+M12Howitzer Lineup and wait... that's the phraseology to use. Happy Landings, Guido
really missing your cessna, captain....
+A. R. Jasso The Citation jet will come back shortly. Happy Landigns, Guido
What kind of overwater gear is required? I see you wearing the fluorescent orange wet suit.
On this route you need: >immersion suit >life raft >life jacket Here a link to my latest video: kzhead.info/sun/dMpslrqob4RulZ8/bejne.html Happy landings, Guido
Hey Guido, what do you think about the Garmin G1000? Do you like it?
+YPOC The Garmin 100 is really great. The only thing I miss is a proper keyboard. Some aircraft have incorporated this already. Happy Landings, Gudio
+Guido Warnecke Thank you. I think it's sort of cluttered with the different sections not well separated, and especially the lower buttons are hard to reach. But I haven't had the possibillity yet to test one myself. only in the sim. But I guess it's a nice improvement from analogue instruments.
+YPOC Like many things, it requires practice. The good thing about the Garmin products is that they use the same concept. One you know one Garmin you can basically fly with all of them with minimum training. Happy Landings, Guido
Non pilot (ie idiot) question. Why aren't the controls on the lefthand yoke replicated on the righthand one?
The aircraft is primarily flown from the left side only. The right controls are used for training only. Happy Landings, Guido
now this is the kind of plane I would like the most, would rather having 2 large LCD screen like this one has instead of a whole bunch of smaller dials, just out of curiousty, what are all those knobs to right of the co-pilot's screen, Thanks again???
+Andrew Silva Thank you, Andrew. The knobs on the very right of the cockpit are electrical circuit breakers. Each electrical component has its breaker. If you have a short circuit on one, you are able to isolate it by pulling the respective circuit breaker. Thus, it will not affect the entire electrical system of the aircraft. Happy Landings, Guido
ah I get it, but this its totally not like what you have in your own personal vehicle, talking about the fuses, saying if one goes out all you have to do is pull it out and put in a new one, right?
Hi Andrew, These are re-settable fuses, meaning you could push them in again. Normally this is not advisable, because usually the circuit breaker has popped out for a good reason: excessive amperes, normally caused by a short circuit. This may cause a fire hazard and can damage other electrical components. Unlike in a car, you give the pilot control over the circuit breakers, at least most of them. Happy Landings, Guido
I totqally understand that, I also wanted to ask yu if I may, when yu were up at the altitude that yu were and you had to put the oxygen on, where does this oxygen actually come from, I mean does the plane carry in the way of tanks on board and if so, how much do they hold befor they run out or does the plane in a way give the pilot unlimited supply for as long as he need it???
Some airplanes have built in bottles (like this one), on others I carry a portable bottle. Depending on the altitude and the number of persons on board tee bottles last 30 hours or so. There is a gauge that you need to check. Happy Landings, Guido
Kann ich gut verstehen. Abgesehen vom Drysuit - hast Du noch ein Schlauchboot oder Rettungsinsel an Bord?
+Thomas Schulze Kleine 1-Mann Rettingsinsel. www.switlik.com/aviation/isplr/features Vorteil: man kann die auf dem Linienflieger mitnehmen (die CO2 Patronen sind zugaenglich). Happy Landings, Guido
what camera anf mount are you using for the amazing view? i would like to make videos flying as well and i would like the same angle you have on your videos. :)
+ eddiev737 I use the standard GoPro mount that comes with the camera. Happy Landings, Guido
+Guido Warnecke Thank you so much. Do you have any advice for making videos in the cockpit? I also wonder how do you make the camera able to clearly see the instruments and the outside?
eddiev737 his is a quite complex process which took me years to evolve. Happy Landings, Guido
Is there something in particular I can perhaps look up to learn how to make the cockpit and outside clear? Does it have to do with tbe editing process? It may take me a long time to learn how on my own because I also go to college and work.
A lot has to do with the post processing. Happy Landings, Guido
Wouldn't your normally turn off avionics master before mixture idle cutoff?
+Robert Haynes Hi Robert, I don't think it makes any difference. It is important to shut off avionics during engine starts to prevent voltage / amps surges. The Garmin G1000 has own battery supply, so the left screen remains on during engine starts, the engine instruments (oil pressure etc) are only on the screen. If you have any information showing the contrary, please let me know. Happy Landings, Guido
+Guido Warnecke. Totally enjoy your videos! I've got tons of G1000 time. I'm a check pilot for CAP and the C182 shut down check list requires the avionics master off prior to idle cut off. i'd guess the mooney is the same but don't know for sure. The PFD does initially run off the stand by battery and it's normal to leave that on at shut down. We actually had a avionics master switch blow immediately after it turned on. Smoke and smell in the cockpit. Flight prior to it did not shut down properly. Correlation? not sure. I just follow the checklist. I'd love to fly with you someday! (currently a SIC on a B350)
Thank you, Robert. I will check with a friend at an avionics shop if that makes a difference. However you are 100% right: follow the checklist and you are on the safe side. Happy Landings, Guido
I admire your job! have you ever been to Ukraine?
Hi Artur, I have not been to the Ukraine yet. Happy Landings, Guido
I'm curious what a job like this would pay, say, for a small business jet from France to the US...
+david ogden Hi David, the pilot's rates are negotiated individually, so unfortunately I cannot answer this here in public. Happy Landings, Guido
Geese, That glass deck probably cost as much as the plane!
+Chris Cunningham Hi Chris, almost all newer aircraft come now with a glass cockpit. Compared to the many conventional instruments you used to have before, this might be even cheaper to build. A retrofit of these instruments in an older airplane is indeed a costly mission. Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido
+Chris Cunningham: I just read in an aviation Magazine that for some older conventional instruments it´s getting difficult to find companies and People that can do repairs and maintenance.. I also think that maintenance will be much cheaper on a glass Cockpit System than on a conventional...repairing and calibrating mechanical instruments is a science
bobl78 I agree. In the future this will be more and more difficult. Happy Landings, Guido
+bobl78 True, After install it's just swapping modules to repair or expand. Love glass decks in GA planes!
did you post twice on purpose????
or were you trying to post part 6
+rog mags On the previous upload, the video "froze" during the take off roll for about 12 seconds. This is why I uploaded again. Seems to be k now. Happy Landings, Guido
i didn't even notice.....but good video...first and second post
I might erase the older one... Happy Landings, Guido
+Guido Warnecke Great video like always. I would just set the other video to private and that will stop the questions. Happy landings.
audio is poor, lots of static, maybe try a new cable
+Absolute Beast This video was taken last year, I have better equipment now. Happy Landings, Guido
why don't you fly a real lplane,, guido?
A story about that: There I was, flying a Mooney from Yakima, Washington to Concord, CA. ATC called a Cessna 210 and reported my Mooney as traffic directly ahead (of the 210).....The 210 asked ATC to "you just tell me when I'm about to pass that little ol' Mooney". ATC hesitated a moment and said, "Sir, you are not going to pass that little ol' Mooney....
What exactly is not real about this airplane? Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
