I am a stay at home father with a seriously handicapped son(57) at home and a wife with serious heart problems. Except for usual interruptions, I sit in the co-pilot seat and marvel at your keen flying abilities. Thank you for allowing me to fly with you.

      Exactly, guess he needs to know position and type of piston aircraft in front of him because if he enters a left downwind and a Cessna 150 was turning from base to final at the same time, he would catch up to the Cessna before it could land and get off the runway.

    Greg hi from Australia, I'm a low hour’s pilot who has watched everything you have on your channel, I have been living vicariously through you since I became sick 2 years back, anyway onto the topic at hand. People make good decisions just like yours all day every day in aviation, all around keeping the environment fluid, safe, convenient and courteous for all concerned. I cannot tell you how many times I’ve been on an active runway and the ATC have done just what you did here for all the same reasons. My old instructor was a legend in the RAF for years and then as a test pilot, 17,500 hours and he owned 26 of his own aircraft in his civilian life. He used to call what you did as a rolling response, that is to say, using your experience and taking into account the environment on the day if your response to traffic finds you a few feet out of place, as long as within 3-4 seconds of your Traffic Call being totally accurate “Then it Is” especially if you could engine off coast clear.. My mother used to have this great saying for people like this annoying guy… “If I want the pig to come in I’ll rattle the gate and I don’t remember rattling the gate”.....I forgot to mention.. your good for Aviation and the industry at large its quality people like yourself which inspires others to be better than they are..…. I cannot thank you enough, Cheers Sean's

    I’m a blind person who has flown many hours with people, and most of it is in the right seat. Several of my friends I fly with have me talk on the radio, and your videos help me practice this. When the controllers give you instructions, I anticipate what the response will be. Sometimes, I even say it out loud. Since I don’t get to fly very often, I listen to air traffic control and RUclips videos to keep up my radio skills.
    I hope one day I get to meet you in person.

    I soloed on a J3 Cub in 1966 and retired 40 years later as a Senior Training Captain flying B747's for a Japanese cargo airline. Having filled three logbooks with many different types and some 20 000 hours I reckon I'm entitled to comment professionally on your 27 June video.
    When I watched your video of 16 May I remember thinking as you turned off the runway and called clear that you showed excellent airmanship and situational awareness considering the other two aircraft. I enjoy RUclips aviation related videos and have seen many of yours. One aspect which has impressed me greatly was your consistently high degree of professionalism in a single pilot environment and so the FAA's decision in this regrettable incident did not surprise me at all.
    Unfortunately it is axiomatic that the few always seem compelled, for whatever reason, to spoil it for the many. Greg, should you decide not to continue sharing your experiences and expertise with the many it would be completely understandable and I wish you many happy and healthy years of aviation enjoyment. Alternatively, hopefully, the schmuck will be the only loser and we all can continue to enjoy and learn from your videos and ride along with you.

      @Fuzzy ButkusYou really need to lighten up, no one made you read the comment. The OP made valid observations based on real life experience. You obviously don't understand the serious threat the report to the FAA could have had on the business run by Greg, if you did you wouldn't have posted such an inane response.

      These airplanes aren't that hard to fly, once you get the hang of it. The automation is astounding. If you lose the automation or have some other major system failure, then it can get demanding very quickly. Of course, the ever present challenge is Mother Nature. She can make you wish you'd stayed at home sometimes! Haha

    I don’t know if someone already answered this, but the N1 is a reference digit based on some factory engine, this is a theory that I was told. So pretty much all engines that’s built after the ref engine, is going to produce more than 100%, since the engines are constantly updated. Also I like these videos that’s edited in a way, that the instruments are shown a lot. Keep it up!

    Always fun to have my morning coffee and watch one of your videos. Couple of observations. When I saw the chart load failure on the center flight display, I winced, instantly thinking, oh oh, there's a 50 Grand repair coming..
    *whew*
    As you pointed out, ATC is quiet. Here in Canada, the two biggest airlines, Air Canada and WestJet have cut flights by 95 and 90% respectively and do not expect to see any dramatic increase over the next 12 to 18 months. Air Canada announced it is laying off 20,000 cabin and flight crews until further notice.
    WestJet has announced 4,700 layoffs over the past 3 weeks.
    Frieghters are now the largest Canadian flight segment ATC handles. I've read that American, Delta and United along with regionals, are looking at up to 100,000 layoffs that could last 2 years. 6 months ago, pilots were in tight supply with airlines fighting to hire them. Today, the global furlough is estimated to be 160,000+ pilots. It's becoming painfully clear some carriers aren't going to make it. Even Netjets / Flexjet crews are becoming very worried.
    I was happy to hear your "full stop" call on final to Indy Exec. It maybe a natural Air Force habit, but it's always a good one to use at all times at all uncontrolled airports. I taught my students to declare intentions during entry to the downwind and again during the turn onto final. Aircraft on the ground, start up at different times and may have not heard the first call during an aircraft downwind leg.
    Military trained pilots I flew with had the same Coms habits you have. Very consistent and always clear. I was lucky to learn from some of the best Air Force and Naval aviators on the planet.
    Until the next morning cup of joe, have a nice flight and stay safe!

    Greg, I am frustrated for you, and I hope you will let it go and keep posting videos on RUclips. I left General Aviation flying at 200 hours PIC when I was financially struggling to stay current. Now that I am retired as a former Crew Chief for the USAFR [C-141B & C-17A], I am living vicariously through you and your videos. After your "FAA complaint" video of 6/27/20, I was motivated to logon tonight, hit "Subscribe," and the "Alert Bell" as I hope you will shake off the student pilot complaint to the FAA. [You said you displayed "Airmanship" and "situational awareness." I would agree and add "courtesy," which is so lacking in this time.] You exhibited good judgement! Let me encourage you to keep sharing as, while I have some envy of your success, I truly am happy for you and what you have been able to do with your talents and skills. Be encouraged, keep teaching and inspiring guys like me to get back into flying. V/R, Joel

    • @Moonrocket59
      @Moonrocket59 4 года назад +11

      Hi Greg, I saw the profiles for flying high on short flights. Does that take into account the gph burn to get to altitude? What about avg hour burn for the duration of the flight, t/o, climb out, cruise, descent and land? Once you get to alt, sure fuel savings are there, but to get to alt, are the savings still realized, I guess is my better question. 🙂

      ​@@Moonrocket59 The essence of it is, the higher you are.. the less fuel the engine is burning, you are not sitting on 100% N1 power for the full climb out, not even close to that really. As you climb higher, you're fuel burn will be less, and less even though you are not on a cruise power setting. Plus, remember he climbing to FL410 in about 10-12 minuets, so really in the essence of the flight.. it is not a longer period of time he is sitting on that climb power setting. Then remember, on his decent he can pull the throttles way back from that cruise power setting, and finish the flight from FL410 to whatever for x number of NM way back on power.

    Nice to see that runway. I did my training and soloed on a lovely May morning in Beech Skipper N306W back when Indy Exec was called Terry Airport. It sure has changed.

    Observations from my couch: P1D reports turning final; 3256W (probably doing touch 'n go's) reports crosswind; P1D crosses the threshold; 3256W reports downwind; Comanche reports taking active runway and hold; P1D reports clear of the active; Comanche rolls and departs NE; 3256W lands. Apparently, the Comanche was in a bit of a hurry- but perfectly legal. P1D made the right call in order to expedite the Comanche's departure--albeit a second or two too early.
    P1D courteous: Guilty
    P1D situationally aware: Guilty
    P1D an exemplary human being for sharing videos and knowledge: Guilty as charged...
