Terry was speaking my language too. I KNEW there HAD to be another pilot, that learned navigation with E6B’s (manual), VOR and ADF and no GPS. And we won’t even discuss the onboard radar then. I flew B55 (6-pack only of course), with a Colemill performance conversion. Great airplane !
Great Avidyne conversation. After flying a C421 for 35 years at 43 GPH, I loved trading to an air conditioned A36 at 17 GPH! As I now consider something to carry my grandkids (and their parents), it is hard to justify an unpressurized BE58 in the 36 GPH range when pressurization, 2,300 # useful, air conditioning and the same 190K are attainable in another C421 for 43 GPH. Love your candor!
Very interesting video and flight, thanks for taking us along!
That was a nice flight and good technology discussion! Thanks for taking us a along for the ride, Kristoffer. All the best, and happy Thanksgiving! - Martin
You too my friend. Hope to see you soon.
Great education on the Avidyne. Sure is different from when I was flying. Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving. Thanks for sharing
Love the “back in the day” memory lane.... loved the baron and you are right, great planes....great video.
Thanks, it’s always enjoyable for me to have those conversations as well.
Love my Avidyne's too!
Love the technolgoy, I learned a lot in this video. Thanks a lot ya'll.
Thanks, I always learn something from your videos, more than usual this time. EYW is my favorite approach and landing.
Great conversation and flight. Thanks
Thanks for watching
Another nice job Chris. I like the way you're changing things up. Nice to hear the comparison between the 55 & 58, but also to see and hear more about that Avidyne. It's really pretty cool and it does seem to have a good input flow. Thanks again, Chris!
I love your videos, just a student pilot here chasing the dream in a yellow j-3 cub. Can’t wait to buy a Beechcraft next year. So much information to soak up in every video. Thanks!
Just found your videos, they are great by the way! Keep up the good work! Watching all the way from Brazil!
Thank you and welcome to my channel! Please help spread the word!! 🍻
Beautiful views overboard, a plane with two engines (this is reliable). Thanks for the pleasure! Good luck!
Super nice guy, enjoyed his commentary!
Great video! 🔥
Thanks
I was just thinking.... I should be seeing a Baron Pilot video pretty soon... :) Thanks!
Great stuff as always, Kris! Was strange to see Kim waaaay in the back there! 😁 Great discussion. 👍🍻
Good times. I really like the quality of the rear undertail camera. Neat quality.
Ya it’s one of my favorite as well.
Bravo Chris, you just had too stick the landing because I've been bugging you to show the wheels actually touchdown and an excellent landing it was. 2 thumbs up this time!!! Thanks again!!!
Just wait until I have a video/landing just for you. It may be a while until I get to it though 😎
@@BaronPilot You know I'll be watching Chris, thanks again I almost thought that was the one. It's a pleasure to fly with you!!! Happy Thanks Giving!!! ;-)
Super Video
Thanks
Recently I found time to watch Martin Pauly's video on multi-engine training, 'Ground School' with Doug Rozendaal. He talks a lot about the Baron and V MC, and the Baron v other light twins. It's a little long at 1:23 but very worth watching, I learned a lot! His method called "The Drill" is also very good. I think Flight Chops covered that one once also. Both well worth the time!! JMHO of course. --gary
gtr1952 Agree Gary. I’ve watched it too and it’s VERY worthwhile.
Hello again from the great and wonderful land of "OZ" (sydney australia) many thanks for the wonderful scenic adventure and thanks for sharing cheer's bob.ps fly safe.
I too like the Avidyne Intuitive steps to navigating the system. Seems a lot simpler than the Garmin G-1000
fun fun!! im so jealous
It’s my passion
Interesting comet about using Loran which I used in Senior a d arrow star in Ottawa CA ad was pretty good but not much further up north Christopher ottawa
Thumbs-up Chris! Thanks for sharing. Don :-)
Great content once again Sending a Hey 👋🏻 from the UK 🇬🇧
Thanks and cheers to you in the 🇬🇧
I started flying as well prior to GPS. Enjoy the flash backs and navigating with VOR/ADF. I Love my B58 with the Barn doors! Really getting interested in the IFD 550 over the 750 from what I see....
Another great video and comparison.... Time to touch-up (paint) the mixture levers!!!! The G1000 has frequencies that you can enter into standby as well, via nearest or destination airport.
I will eventually update the entire interior.
Baron Pilot Oh I figured as much, just had to bust your chops as the camera was focused right on it....
I love your EYW videos. NQX is my field and radar. So I do help on EYW systems from time to time. Love your channel. Really want to find out how to start working on my licenses. Love EYW's mobile tower setup. So unique and close to the runway. I bring my son down to their compound from time to time to watch the planes. I've started looking for N3175W ever since I found your channel. I'll post when I see you.
Very cool! Thank you for watching. I don’t get down there as much as I would like. Although I would like to be down there all the time! Lol Kim and I have talked about taking another flight down so maybe soon. I can only assume there are flight schools at EYW but I can’t say for certain.
@@BaronPilot yeah, one of my controllers has a license so he's gonna get me in touch with the guys he works through down here. I'm pretty geeked about it. If y'all would be interested in doing a tour of our facilities next time you're down, I'm sure I can talk to our PR folks and try to help make that happen. There will be some video and photo restrictions, depending on where you are, but the worst they can say is no. Let me know if y'all are interested and we can look into it. Won't take much more than a few emails.
Absolutely. Message me on Instagram or on Baronpilotshop.com
I love the crt. I would never get rid of it. Im young too but crt displays on planes look rad.
I would love to own your Baron. It’s a beautiful bird, just the right amount of everything you need IMO
Good stuff Kris! Great comparison chat. When it comes time to replace the 6-pack. Consider Aspen. We have the Aspen 1000 pro in our 182 slaved to the GTN 750 and STEC-55X and love it. We still have analog back up ATI, ALT, VSI, ASI. However, I'm looking into the Garmin G5 to get rid of all of that. Great episode!
Thank you. I am still in the research phase of what I want to do. But I agree Aspens are nice.
Raises hand as another who starting flying way before GPS, and while I won't go into 'Back in my day' mode, it's a whole nother ball game now. But agree with what you guys said, the additional information, and weather and such is not a distraction, it is a big safety help if used correctly. Now we need some video of Terry in his Baron, and maybe he can take you guys on a trip?
All ready in the works 😉
@@BaronPilot Good to hear ;)
nice one
Thank you! Cheers!
great video again love how you explain you make it easy to understand. i notice that "white glare" when your shot of the avionics comes in sight while explaining to your friend i get that white glarish foggy white is there a trick to getting rid of that i notice yours clears out after about 3 seconds ?Iam assuming it must be a camera light /angle in the moment of the camera shot.
Yes. Unfortunately the sun was shining directly into the lens.
@@BaronPilot Thanks
Nice Ride and Pilot-CoPilot/Kim interaction BP.... ';-) thanks
Glad you enjoyed it.
Did the propellers reverse on landing?
What engines do you have , and fuel burn
FMY vs RSW, especially FMY13/23, RSW24, tunneled under RSW CSHEL DP. Sorry, it’s necessary. Higher S of RSW downwind. Great Vids!
Controller?
What is KRISTOFFER & CO?
Are you and Nikos having a contest for the biggest biceps?
Haha no but that’s a great idea! It would motivate me to workout harder! Lol
Do you have equipment for flying over water?
Living in Florida I always keep some equipment on board in addition to the second engine 😉😎
Does anyone know the difference between a pressurized Baron and a non-pressurize Baron Other than pressurization
Weight, engines, fuel burns, maintenance costs to name a few
Can you reccomend some places to stay in Key West?
This is were I stayed www.lastkeyrealty.com/rentals/dockside-daydreams
do you have the anti collision installed as will just wondering
Are you referring to active traffic? If so yes.
@@BaronPilot to tell you were the traffic is what is it called i forget what the device is called you have to have it now
I think you are referring to ADS-B. Yes I have that as well as active traffic which is independent from ADS-B.
@@BaronPilot i tried look into Garmin ads-b and active traffic systems i found the ads-b not the active traffic 1 thanks
I use Avidyne’s systems. Go to Avidyne.com
way to stick that landing
Thanks.
I have a e55 as well. Does your left seat recline?
It does. I’m not sure how far back though. I’ve never checked.
Every seat has a handle to recline except my left ... so does yours have a handle or some other way
I have a small lever on the right side towards the back.
I’ll be at Marco executive Sunday ... you be around ?
I am on call but if I don’t get called out I will be around. Message me on Instagram. @beechbaronpilot
Spent a min trying to wipe the mark off my iPad but it was on you’re screen 🙈
I don’t think you get distracted by all the tech. I think u need to keep up on ur basic skills & use all the tech available at your Fingertips to the best of your ability to make it as safe & as efficient as possible. I believe that the safest you can be with the equipment at your disposal is the way to go n not to worry about people that say having screens etc everywhere is a bad thing, it’s almost like they state it’s cheating, no it’s not, it’s called being safe.
He didn't find you funny, I did.😂😂
At 4.25, your copilot says G36 Baron..??? Haha.....Close friend of mine has a B55 Baron he has owned for 20 years/1600+ hours. He has flown a few 58 Barons and just prefers the more Pitchy B55. Just seems to be more sporty handling vs the 58. Club seating is nice in the 58s, but if you’re never sitting in the back, what do you care.
You have air?
No I wish.
What happened to "one in the mirror"?
Lost the mirror on my engine cowling 🙊.
Sorry in advance for asking a stupid question, but what exactly are you talking about a “six pack”? I know it’s not beer or your abs. I think it’s your older instrument panel? I assume they must offer a digital upgrade to replace all the older style gauges and dials to touch screen and push buttons. By the way I do love watching your videos. As you can well guess from my question I’m not a pilot. I have flown R/C for 20+ years, flying everything from gas, glow, electric, ducted fan, helicopter, quad copters, and single as well as multi engine models. I was mostly into flying 3D acrobatic models. I also have instructed many beginner pilots and flung the hardest to teach were the real scale pilots. Reason why is that they kept trying to fly like they were “sitting in the cockpit. However when flying R/C you really can’t do that because a lot of time your flying towards oneself and imputes are reversed to what you think you would do if you were sitting in the cockpit.
Not a stupid question. You are correct. A six pack in aviation is referring to the 6 flight instruments in from of me that looks like a six pack.
@@BaronPilot Wow thanks for such a quick response to.my question. I do so.much watching your videos so keep them coming. I assume you do charter flights for a living?
guy looks like a scout from tf2
Has Kim enrolled in flight school yet???
Not yet. She is itching to go!
Jeez what's with all of the competition and showmanship. "When is the last time you flew a six pack." "Do you still remember how?" Too much tension in this video. Just smile and have a good time for goodness sake.
Just friendly guy banter. He knows I would love to have his setup. 😂
Another good video, but please, put Kim in the right seat!!!
Stay tuned for the next video/return flight.
Gary Bailey haha I can’t sit right seat every time. I’m polite to sit in the back once in a while 😜😇 May be siting left seat soon..🤩
