FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
I've learned more about the TBM from Osama than any Daher-Socata promotional videos on KZhead - food for Thought? Great job posing the questions, and fantastic narration by Osama. Can't wait for the "Phenom"enal video!
Right on! I really appreciate this feedback! My goal with these productions is to create engaging and immersive flying content - and when able , with in context of the story, I fit tasteful product placements in for sponsors (such as ForeFlight and Bose in this one). In this case, Daher was clearly part of the story too, despite not being a sponsor (yet? :).

I`m sure u two would be good friends. Isaac and Arafat :)
French and Brazilian business's are not know for being PR savy.
As a 18,000 hr. plus airline Captain, and a commercially rated pilot for 31 years, I like listening to Osama explain the what/how he handles his flying. FlightChops you are fortunate to have found and fly with such a professional and detailed oriented Private pilot. Such attention to the small details are often very rare. In my years as a CFI/II/MEI, Instructor Pilot, Flight Safety Instructor, etc. I find Osama refreshing and very impressive.
Thank you. That means a lot to me coming from a pilot with such impressive credentials. You are welcome in my cockpit any time.
After a long day of flying. Osama's wife: 'How was your day?' Osama: 'Day was good, Xray India India'
25:28 "I can talk forever." A true pilot skill, never run out of flying related topics! :)
iam an airline pilot.. and all this video talks about is literally all the things i do on the planning, enrute, and arrival phase... mini airliner approved
Osama has to be one of the coolest guys ever. Incredible hearing him talk about this stuff!
Osama is a dead set legend. Love that he is so willing to share his knowledge and experience.
Agreed - he's awesome!
Excellent airmanship and very professional. Impressive...former DC-6 pilot NAC...thanks and keep up the good work.
Steve, please pass along a huge thank you to Osama for letting us all ride along. It was also my first time "in the cockpit" of a mini airliner. Osama's guided tour of the systems was awesome. Thanks for the video, looking forward to those Pitts episodes too
Thanks! I will be sure Osama sees this comment :)
That TBM cockpit is a thing of beauty. Really love the tour he's giving,
I have watched hundreds of videos or thousands, and I learned more in the last 25 min listening and watching that man, than in all those other videos. I'm not a pilot so I dream and vicariously fly thru the eyes and experiences on youtube. I pay attention and learn as much as I can because if I ever hit the lottery, I will be up there in the heavens with all you guys! A great teacher and a wealth of knowledge Osama is and has, I truly envy and respect you all at the highest level. Man, one day......
Osama is the reason I am subscribed to your channel. Keep him active please. Thank you.
Missed him. Great to have him back.
he is a legend
For sure! He's a great friend and mentor! More to come with him!
Osama is by far the best cohost I think you've had on the channel. I think he'd make a good instructor too. He seems to tell you what he's doing and why, rather than what I see most do on youtube, and that is tell you what to do with no explanation or alternatives offered.
I'm flying with him again tomorrow for this very reason :) . Just reviewing this episode to remind myself of what the taxi clearance is gonna sound like getting from his hangar as I'll be running the radios - and I am rusty as heck because all I have been doing lately is flying a T6 VFR - not much radio work to do. :P)
Good rule of thumb (for the TBM) - for every 100 miles - 10,000 ft - thanks - another great video
I'm glad I'm not the only one who nerds about the avionics, switched, etc in all of these planes. Please don't be afraid to show more nerdy stuff!
Great video of Osama flying the TBM 850. I love the way he explains everything going on during the flight. He is obviously a highly proficient pilot. Would love to see more videos with him flying. He seems like a really great guy to ride along with!
I really like Osama's preparation and his double checks during the flight. Meticulous and smart.
Osama is an awesome pilot. Very professional and prepared and in today's world that can be difficult to find sometimes. It would be an honor to fly with him. Love your content Steve. I've been watching for years now and it's been neat to watch the progression of production quality. I recently did a 3000 mile odyssey from Anchorage down to Texas and I went through Canada. It was a real shame I was going down the western side of the country. It would have been a pleasure to meet you. Got any crazy plans yet for Oshkosh 2018? It'll be my first year to go!
Right on thanks! And Osh never disappoints :) Let's be sure to meet there! As it gets closer, watch the various social medias for my schedule.
I've been waiting for you to bring Osama back on. Looking forward to watching his multi engine training.... congrats to him on that accomplishment. Osama is really enjoyable to watch and listen to, hoping you have him back again in future episodes.
Wow!!! This is very cool. I took 40 hours worth of VFR lessons at Harv's air, in Steinbach, way back in 1978 and 1979, before moving west to British Columbia. I have fond memories of those exciting flights with Harv himself, who I enjoyed learning from a lot. :-)
These videos are better than most stuffyou get on hobby shows on Discovery etc. because they don't try to hype, there is no bullshit music blasting in the background. No stupid fake danger situations, the camera isn't shaking around to add to the drama. It is just quality content all the way.
At 24:50, your editing to provide 4 concurrent views of the final approach was brilliant.
That was EXTREMELY beneficial. What a great instructor..'I can talk forever'.. Good stuff mate!
Thanks for sticking around to the end :)
Thank you so much Steve for these longer episodes. the longer the better imo!
Chillin in bed with a hot drink and a FlightChops vid, it's just always so great! Thanks for the great content Steve, can't wait for that jet video!
Osama does an outstanding job explaining what he's doing and his flight planning is a great example for the rest of us! Well done.
One thing that is becoming an eye opener is in congested RVSM airspace you’ll only have 1,000’ separation but could be overtaken or passed opposite direction from a “heavy” which has a max gross takeoff of 300,000 lbs or more! Last year you may have read about a Challenger 604 which has an MTOW of 48,200 was rolled over and dropped 10,000 feet before recovering. Imagine what that would have done to that TBM! So, even though in Class A & in RVSM traffic & wake turbulence avoidance is still a HUGE subject that is often overlooked. I was flying into Atlanta last year in a CJ1 and was being vectored on a downwind behind a Boeing 757 about 5 Miles in trail that we were not made aware of. We felt two shudders and without any notice we entered a 45° bank & increasing even when the pilot was at full opposite aileron to prevent the roll. Although that wasn’t in RVSM airspace that was definitely in my top 3 scariest moments in my flying career.
Love your videos man. Aviation is my greatest passion and love and one day, I'll be flying, soon!
Great to see in so much detail how much and what kind of planning is needed for these kind of trip. Thanks for sharing Steve!
Another superb teaching video. You guys bring-out the best of each other to the viewers.
Very cool episode! I'm in ground school right now and we're learning about all things weather and its affects on aviation. Neat to see some of the aspects of aviation weather in this episode!
Always learning through your videos, thanks!
Thoroughly enjoyed this, and can't wait for the next one. Flying in the flight levels looks like a whole lot of fun. You never disappoint!
This was sooo good... and the TBM850 is an amazing aircraft! keep up the good work!
TBM-850 is incredible, Osama is a good friend
Great video, your friend is a great pilot and I learned a lot by just watching this video!
Another fascinating video. Nice job by Osama. Thanks fer takin' us along...
This video is the best, so much detail. Love it...
Excellent video! Huge THANK YOU to all involved.
He’s an excellent pilot. Knows his airplane well, stays ahead of the airplane/weather, and is well prepared for each individual flight.
Sometimes I just tap the LIKE button, but this time I smashed it! I really liked the panel tour and explanation. Plus all the great flying tips and experience. Not to mention the beautiful video and the editing. Great job!
Very nice, lots to keep up, That is why the more prep you do before the flight it helps keep you ahead of the plane and management of flight.
Listening to Osama share his knowledge is captivating. I was hooked into this video, I don't think I blinked or took a breath.
Very enjoyable watching Mr. Osama. Great.
Sweet flying! Great landing! Impeccable video production! Definitely going to watch again just for the knowledge and preparedness of this pilot. I can tell both of you love what you do.
I love the level of detail in the planning and explanation of the aircraft - interesting and informative!
Love the TBM. Great video thanks🤙
So much useful information here. Great video. Really made me rethink how I preflight all of my IFR flights.
Great video there sure is a lot of knowledge to digest. Keep those great videos coming.
Good one! Realy looking forward to your jets-flight together. Like the atmosphere and the talk. Big thumbs up!
He’s a very good pilot, really professional for not doing it for a living👍🏻
Good video, thanks. This pilot provides excellent explanations and has a great plane. That's a really nice plane.
Really enjoyed watching this video. Great stuff.
What an awesome dude, so knowledgeable and clearly very much in love with aviation! Absolute pro, very much enjoyed this :)
Damn good video! Even more exciting that I just saw that beautiful TBM at Oshawa Airport!!
Really liking the Foreflight weather tutorial given by Osama. Super helpful as I start planning longer XCs
Another great one, thanks Steve!

Osama is a highly skilled pilot and a good friend to have. Thanks for taking us along on the trip.
Great, informative video & well produced- thanks!
Yes! Jet flying!! Looking forward to that! Great video, awesome to see some of the FL stuff and the difference in what pressure to set the altimeter! Keeping me motivated to save up for some more training!
I’ve just come across your videos with Osama and I’m hooked! Superb films. He’s a great teacher 👍 I’ve only had a few lessons, got my head in a stack of books, but this series has been so helpful piecing the basics together.
I could watch Osama fly all day! well done chops

Great video 'Chops. A TBM flight is on my bucket list. Osama seems like a kool kat.
Great information. Thank you.
In addition to the story telling and the piloting being excellent, the CRM in the cockpit was good too. Good questions, good answers, amazing cooperation.

You can tell Osama really pours his heart and soul into flying I'm impressed...God bless Osama!
Good show, thanks. Hal.

Great videos, thank you!
That pilot is great! Wow! What a landing! Thanks
Having a friend like Osama is priceless! He has a lot of knowledge and more importantly he is great in sharing it. Can't wait to see the Phenom video's.
Just an outstanding video - great explanations of cockpit layout, nav planning etc from OA. If he wasn't so busy, he'd be a great instructor..
I love flights with Osama! He seems so well organized, professional, and prepared when he flies. Looking forward to seeing him in the Phenom.
What a fantastic airplane!
Damn dude. This is quite an exciting plane, and really enjoying your videos.
Great video! Thank you!
Fantastic video!! One of the better ones I've seen on YT keep up the great work!!
Thanks!
Great stuff! You, steveo and premier1driver are the new TV for pilots! Great work flight chops.
I'll definitely second that! The perfect double feature for pilot geeks: ride with P1D to minimums, then fly halfway across Canada with Osama and Flight Chops! Perfect.
Fantastic stuff from Osama very Professional attitude.
