The pilot's ability to remember 8-10 things in short term memory and hold it there for extended period of time after only hearing it once is amazing. I think that after a while, all these instructions, just become one single piece of file in your brain and you just.. kinda feel it. Like switching gears in a car. You just.. kinda do it
I would love to fly with you, you're not only a great pilot, but your passion for aviation and knowledge of making these clips is a valuable resource to the Aviation community. Thanks!
Just discovered you Steve. I got my pilot's license back in 1995 but haven't flown in many years. I'm really enjoying your videos as it brings back fond memories. Keep em coming!
For those who are interested, the accident at Ft Lauderdale Exec was a Cessna 340. It happened on March the 2nd, which gives you some indication of how long it takes Steveo to get these videos up. Apparently, the Cessna had a problem with one of the main landing gear, which didn't deploy correctly, and collapsed on landing. There was only the pilot on board, and he was not injured. It took most of the day to remove the aircraft from the runway, which is why there weren't any arrivals. The aircraft was damaged, obviously, but no fire reported.
Was a CNC machinist for Cessna 94-96. Love the Caravan. Did a bunch of front landing gear operations for her. If I wasn’t scared of puking and had a few million bucks this would be the one I’d like to fly.
Its great to watch all your adventuress journeys. It may be a "just another day at the office", but for a relatively low hour pilot such as myself, your vids inspire me to want a peace of that "pilot life" too.
This video just popped up when I started RUclips today. Nicely done flight Steve. I'm retired now but I used to enjoy the short ones, 11 minutes from rotation at Luton to landing at London Heathrow on a 757, fun times. Fly safe and enjoy.
I have flown in both a Caravan and a Grand Caravan. I was the only passenger on the Caravan so I got the co-pilots seat. Much better harness than the passenger seat belts. When we landed the pilot, who mostly carried freight, apologized for the rough landing. I reminded him that it was not a rough landing, and I was not any more fragile than the freight he had delivered.
Looks like a King Air landed with the gear up...allegedly! I was needing a video fix so I started watching your old ones over again and I saw one where you said you wouldn't use an iPad...LOL! I said that too. When I first started using it I was skeptical too but it is so nice not to get that yellow envelope in the mail meaning I'd be sitting in front of my binders (in my case) updating approaches. Thanks for posting Tim
Ahh the memories. Worked on the line at FXE back in 1972-3 when there were only 2 FBO's, Skytel and Bradley. Both long gone I'm sure. Thanks for the ride albeit a short one.
I absolutely love your videos seveo1kineveo! I'm 16 years old and live in South Africa. I'm going to start with my training within a months time and I think it's you that motivated me to make that big step.
@@mattball7074 Thanks for asking! As I am writing this comment, I am preparing for the Meteorology exam for my CPL. I have also been introduced to another side of aviation, I received a cadetship to get AFIS training at Port Alfred in South Africa which I am loving. I have build quite a lot of experience the last three years and I am glad to say that Steveo1Kineveo is still a great idol for me. Regards, Christiaan.
This Caravan is my favorite aircraft of all time! easy to work on as aircraft engineer, a joy to fly as pilot and brings a smile to owners as this is cheap maintain/operate & sparks the soul. Brought great memories! Thank you for sharing!!! 😊🖖
Short flight but very cool. I used to go to the drive in movie theater at the end of the runway, years ago. I didn't know about the new runway. Lived in So Fla from 1968 to 1989. Thanks :)
As a European and pilot of a (much older) Socata myself, I'm partial to the TBM, but I enjoy the Caravan, as well and realise both have their uses. I don't think anyone is "better" in general. The best plane is always the one I get to fly, so most days my little Rallye is the best :)
Congratulations! It will be fun and frustrating. Don't get discouraged when you can't nail the landing. I takes a ton of practice to do that right. I almost quit over that back in the day.
You'll find the decision to learn to fly one of the best you've ever made. It's like everything else - you'll have good days and bad days but you always remember your first solo.
Amen. The Caravan looks like so much fun down low and slow. All you need is to stay just ahead of the prop a mile or two. Never get behind your airplane. How far do you need to stay ahead of the TBM 850? I'm thinking next Thursday.
Those airports are so close together, it looks like you could have ridden your skateboard down from Executive to get the Grand Caravan........ And speaking of the Grand Caravan, I remember seeing the the 'original' Caravans in my youth (mid 60's) at my local airport (Santa Monica) and thinking with the single engine it's a wonder it can actually get off the ground, And now you are flying a MUCH larger GC that holds what - 10 people, PLUS all their luggage? Amazing........
Nice crosswind landing right on the stripes. Just got my private, can't wait to get back up there once the all the rain leaves the northwest, we've had something like 3 VFR days in Seattle in the last 6 weeks!
This is where its at. Flying planes. Im amazed at the technology of the new planes. Have to be meticulous when operating this sort of a machine. Thumbs up.
I really enjoy your way of showing what has to be done before and after a flight. Also you are a very interesting person to watch as you go though what you do after you get where your going. Different cities and airports along with its people.
Another good one Steveo ! - Nice little short hop in the Caravan was fun. Love the TBM, but you make them both really interesting. Thanks for the ride !
All your videos are great Steveo. This one is no exception! I'm a private pilot with instrument rating who hasn't flown in a couple of years because as you know, what really makes an airplane fly is money. My family kind of expects me to provide food and shelter. ;) Because of you I'm being motivated to try to find a way to get back in the air. I was working on my commercial rating (just needed my check ride) before I had to stop. I used to fly out of PDK. Please let us know if you will be back in town. I would love to meet you. Thanks again for the motivation!
I was fly training at Fort Lauderdale Executive this day (KFXE) and had to divert to Pompano Beach (KPMP) and wait till they cleaned the runway up. Was a pretty fun flight. I'll have the audio out soon. You parked right next to where I park next to Hotel - Steveo thanks for this video!
I like the C208, it´s how I found your channel. I am a sim flyer, X-Plane, and fly the C208 a lot, and when I´m not flying it, I fly the Cessna 185. I am a bit of a Cessna nut.
Caravan is so fun to fly in. I went on a island to island flight and the pilot realised how much I love planes so he let me on the right seat to fly with him. Very fun airplane to fly.
Just purchased a TBM 850....Ahhh FSX Steam version. Wonderful airplane. It is a pleasure to fly. Landing takes some practice. Very powerful airplane. Race car in the sky.
Like the Caravan a lot. Goes places we all love as Jamie mentioned :-) Also it's more senic for the viewer. Large windows make for great views outside. Wonder why you did not post Watermaker video's. Bussy flying the TBM or no need for you to fly the Caravan outside the holiday season? TBM is (much) faster, flies (much) higher, guess more comfort and bigger range so takes you places in style in one go. Videos are sometimes a bit "dark". Not in a bad way but compared to the Caravan. Then again. Love to watch your videos. They are informative and entertaining so fun to watch.
The workspace in the Caravan is very large compared to the TBM. Filming with the Caravan is a lot harder to do as the flight has to be completely empty and that doesn't happen very often. The TBM is a whole different job and I can film any flight in the TBM.
steveo1kinevo Do you fly the Caravan often enough to maintain your currency? I find jumping from the Garmin 7 series units to the G1000 takes me 10-15 minutes to remember where everything is. Don't even want to think about a G3000.
Yeah, I was looking at the size. Camera was pretty far away, and I love all the room in the cockpit. I especially liked where you put the iPad. I've never flown a Caravan, but I'm told they fly just like an overgrown Skylane..
Hi Steven1kinevo I was on a flight from Sydney to Dallas (worlds longest flight) and the man sitting next to me was the person who created FORE FLIGHT. Overall it was an awesome experience and I learnt so much (:
This was a very nice flight Captain. A hug from Brazil. Your channel is amazing. I work with a BEECH-58 here in South América and I'm learning English yet.
Oh how funny. That electronic voice sounds like one of the settings of JAWS Screen Reading Assistive Technology for theBlind. Actually, it used to be for that and for the DeckTalk Speech for Kirzweil Reading Machine. The name of the voice was Huge Harry. I love it!
For the life of me, I can't figure out why a few people smash the THUMBS DOWN button on every video. If they don't like your flying and the great info you provide, why watch. Oh well, I love to watch and I get a great deal of info from each flight. As I've said before, I'm a non-pilot but I love aviation. All of Steve's shared knowledge, I add to my AMT knowledge and that makes me a better patron of the industry. Keep up the good work Steveo.
I prefer the caravan videos- especially out in the Caribbean. I've also picked up a lot of good music/artists from this channel, so please keep that going too.
I can actually remember when tower personnel recorded the ATIS. Soft-spoken southern belle at my local often made this error: "Y'all advise on initial contact you have ..." lol
Ever fly one in ice? At midnight? Over Wilkbar Pa in November of 87? When they were BRANDY new and Cessna had no idea what they would become without boots on the wheel struts, or the cargo pod Fedex had installed? From 10k to 2.5 k in 20 seconds.. ya grand scaravan, the ultimate pilot trainer for HARD IFR IN ICE

Nonsense. It’s a standard repetitive format.

Just discovered you Steve. I got my pilot's license back in 1995 but haven't flown in many years. I'm really enjoying your videos as it brings back fond memories. Keep em coming!
I took up flying after being inspired by Stevo, I'm happy to say that last week I had my first solo!
That's amazing! I know I'm 3 years late but howd it go? You get your license?
Shadow I did 😁
That’s cool it’s been a long time since that so how are you doing now
Mo Lester pretty good. Haven’t been flying since the start of the covid crisis, but keen to go back.
That’s nice to hear

Thanks for the information. I was researching the index on the ntsb page but I had no idea what day I was looking for.
Rick Shelton.
Gary do you fly at FXE?
No Alex, I'm a private pilot, not a commercial pilot, and due to financial constraints, I'm not longer flying.

Love it! I wish you did more videos on the Caravan. The ones around the Caribbean are what got me hooked on your channel in the first place :).
Definitely
Zac3200 same
you can subscribe to the channel @skbenergy
I from in indonesia say god job
I love the Caravan. I've always wanted to fly in one. Awesome video Steve!
Sane
I love the caravan too. It's epic
Me too
Might get in my first today!
I’ve copiloted one of these a couple times at the local
Skydive and they do love to fly. Gets up quick and comes down quick a fun bird to fly for sure
Caravan is a smooth ride for sure
5:40 wow that highway running UNDER the airport is amazing!
Was a CNC machinist for Cessna 94-96. Love the Caravan. Did a bunch of front landing gear operations for her. If I wasn’t scared of puking and had a few million bucks this would be the one I’d like to fly.
Definitely want to fly one of these eventually
What a contagious energy this man has, cheered me right up!
Its great to watch all your adventuress journeys. It may be a "just another day at the office", but for a relatively low hour pilot such as myself, your vids inspire me to want a peace of that "pilot life" too.
Excellent audio quality. No engine noise and no wind noise. It sounds like you're sitting on the ground.
Not a pilot, but love & fly in a Grand Caravan Blackhawk 25 to 30 flights on the weekends, I am a tandem skydiving instructor. Love the videos Steve!
This video just popped up when I started RUclips today. Nicely done flight Steve. I'm retired now but I used to enjoy the short ones, 11 minutes from rotation at Luton to landing at London Heathrow on a 757, fun times. Fly safe and enjoy.

I was the only passenger on the Caravan so I got the co-pilots seat. Much better harness than the passenger seat belts. When we landed the pilot, who mostly carried freight, apologized for the rough landing. I reminded him that it was not a rough landing, and I was not any more fragile than the freight he had delivered.
Looks like a King Air landed with the gear up...allegedly!
I was needing a video fix so I started watching your old ones over again and I saw one where you said you wouldn't use an iPad...LOL! I said that too.

@@christiaantheunissen1112 congrats! Its a ton of work to do-- im doing my PPL now
@@mattball7074 Good luck! May it be as enjoyable for you as it was for me.
I love the sound of the Caravan starting up. Any turbo prop running is one of the best sounds in aviation
This Caravan is my favorite aircraft of all time! easy to work on as aircraft engineer, a joy to fly as pilot and brings a smile to owners as this is cheap maintain/operate & sparks the soul. Brought great memories! Thank you for sharing!!! 😊🖖

Never tired of a flight with you Steven! Thanks!!!
I like watching both planes being flown, but the most impressive one is the TBM. That thing is sweet
My first flight is on Monday! I'm so excited
Nice. It's super addicting!
Congratulations! It will be fun and frustrating. Don't get discouraged when you can't nail the landing. I takes a ton of practice to do that right. I almost quit over that back in the day.
Thank you guys! I'll post a vid of it on my channel. It's only the first lesson, but I'm incredibly anxious to get into it!
Good luck!
You'll find the decision to learn to fly one of the best you've ever made. It's like everything else - you'll have good days and bad days but you always remember your first solo.
Its nice to see the Caravan fly from time to time especially when you are in the Exuma Islands..... The TBM is my favorite to see.
Well I like the places the Caravan flies to (like the old days) but you can't beat the TBM for flying excitement! Thanks for posting Steveo!
Amen. The Caravan looks like so much fun down low and slow. All you need is to stay just ahead of the prop a mile or two. Never get behind your airplane. How far do you need to stay ahead of the TBM 850? I'm thinking next Thursday.

Thanks for taking us along in the Caravan Steveo! I prefer the TBM... but anything with wings is better than walking or driving!
Love the Caravan. All I need are the right six numbers, and one will be mine!
Fun little flight... glad you took us along Steve!
Love the TBM but nice to see you in the Caravan again, keep the videos coming, thanks Steveo.
Steve is very pleasant to listen to.
I like the TBM more as an airplane, but I enjoy the Caravan videos so much more. They are always unique!!
5:38 Caribbean Airlines!!! cool @steveo1kinevo
I hope you get to fly that BN2 islander some day heard its a lot of fun!!! 13:44
Stephen Hawking on the ATIS at 1:26
Great vid steveo! Good to see the caravan again.!
Never record a message with a cigar in your mouth.
Lovely to see Ft Lauderdale Exec again. I did my first flight training there with American flyers, way back in 1993.
Awesome being respectful to ground and ATC. Thats awesome.
Nice crosswind landing right on the stripes. Just got my private, can't wait to get back up there once the all the rain leaves the northwest, we've had something like 3 VFR days in Seattle in the last 6 weeks!
This is where its at. Flying planes. Im amazed at the technology of the new planes. Have to be meticulous when operating this sort of a machine. Thumbs up.
love seeing the caravan in the skies
both tbm & caravan are awesome in their own ways
I really enjoy your way of showing what has to be done before and after a flight. Also you are a very interesting person to watch as you go though what you do after you get where your going. Different cities and airports along with its people.
Learnt to fly over FXE and flew for over a year around Florida. Best of times!
The caravan is my favourite airplane! So much so, i am building a cockpit of one for the simulator!!
Oh the joys of flying in good weather!
Spent this week doing a phase inspection on the Caravan. Really exjoyed Taxiing it around.
More Caravan videos please!!! Love all the content of your channel.
Another good one Steveo ! - Nice little short hop in the Caravan was fun. Love the TBM, but you make them both really interesting. Thanks for the ride !

Love it when Steveo's new vids show up! Thanks Steve, all your work is much appreciated.
High wind Cessnas always nice for looking down!
We have 3 caravans where I work as well asa bunch of king airs 200's 250's and a 350 and 6 twin otters. Love the video...very professional.
Just purchased a TBM 850....Ahhh FSX Steam version. Wonderful airplane. It is a pleasure to fly. Landing takes some practice. Very powerful airplane. Race car in the sky.
Love the Caravan! Can't wait to see Cessna's new Plane the twin turbine 'Courier'!
Excellent. Always feel like we're there with you. Love the IFR interaction.
6:30 atc:poggers!
Yay the caravan is back!
Nice video! I like the way you talk to the viewers, feels like I'm sitting right next to you. Subscribed.
The caravan is an awesome aircraft! The TBM is built for speed but the caravan is for long distance luxury flights
Like the Caravan a lot. Goes places we all love as Jamie mentioned :-)
Also it's more senic for the viewer. Large windows make for great views outside.
Wonder why you did not post Watermaker video's. Bussy flying the TBM or no need for you to fly the Caravan outside the holiday season?

I find jumping from the Garmin 7 series units to the G1000 takes me 10-15 minutes to remember where everything is. Don't even want to think about a G3000.
Are the occupancy rules for filming company related? Different privacy rules? Or is it more due to where and how you're flying. Love the vlogs.
Yeah, I was looking at the size. Camera was pretty far away, and I love all the room in the cockpit. I especially liked where you put the iPad. I've never flown a Caravan, but I'm told they fly just like an overgrown Skylane..
CenturionGMU I think it is company rules. He's flying the Caravan for a charter service so it's privacy for the passengers.
Hi Steven1kinevo
I was on a flight from Sydney to Dallas (worlds longest flight) and the man sitting next to me was the person who created FORE FLIGHT. Overall it was an awesome experience and I learnt so much (:
+FSX Tutorials very cool, I hope you told him I said hi.
This was a very nice flight Captain.
A hug from Brazil.
Your channel is amazing.
I work with a BEECH-58 here in South América and I'm learning English yet.
The TBM is like a sports car, while the Caravan is like a Cadillac, both can be enjoyable!
Nice one on the 208 caravan. Kick the tirers bro. Weather. Good video. Thank you.
caravan. for sure. especially the Bahamas videos. my favorite!
Caravan is definitely my Favourite
Steveo, Nice to see the Caravan again. Love that plane.
I like the TBM more than the caravan. I thinks it looks much more aerodynamic from the outside ^^
They use these for contract MIR for CAS and Escort missions on military operations, pretty sweet platform.
I think the cool thing about the Caravan is it sounds like the old Conveer 580's. That reminds me of the old school days.
This is where I did & got my PPL from! Same ramp even. (The C-172s park right off to the right at Q)
always great flying videos and content Steve...and at :27..world class legs
Oh how funny. That electronic voice sounds like one of the settings of JAWS Screen Reading Assistive Technology for theBlind. Actually, it used to be for that and for the DeckTalk Speech for Kirzweil Reading Machine. The name of the voice was Huge Harry. I love it!
Hey I love your videos. I like the TBM 930 now that I have seen you flying it, it became my dream plane.
I like the caravans, I used to jump from them a few years back.
You should come out to Colorado and do a mountain flying video here! You'll love it!
For the life of me, I can't figure out why a few people smash the THUMBS DOWN button on every video. If they don't like your flying and the great info you provide, why watch. Oh well, I love to watch and I get a great deal of info from each flight. As I've said before, I'm a non-pilot but I love aviation. All of Steve's shared knowledge, I add to my AMT knowledge and that makes me a better patron of the industry. Keep up the good work Steveo.
+Samuel Schrader they are my ex-girlfriends.
That splanes everything.
Really enjoy the Caravan videos. Thank you.
The caravan is great! More vids please.
I prefer the caravan videos- especially out in the Caribbean. I've also picked up a lot of good music/artists from this channel, so please keep that going too.
Thank you Amigo
Workhorse of the skies. Thanks for another great video.
I can actually remember when tower personnel recorded the ATIS. Soft-spoken southern belle at my local often made this error: "Y'all advise on initial contact you have ..." lol
That was the first video of yours that I watch....I'm really impressed & I enjoyed it a lot! Keep up the good work!
Caravan all the way!
Delightful video. Love to see you in action. You make it look effortless and are so cool. Thanks for the videos!
Like the TBM but i'm a Cessna fan. The Caravan was the best plane Cessna ever made!
The caravan is awesome!
Totally professional and well explained. Great to watch this video.
Ever fly one in ice? At midnight? Over Wilkbar Pa in November of 87? When they were BRANDY new and Cessna had no idea what they would become without boots on the wheel struts, or the cargo pod Fedex had installed? From 10k to 2.5 k in 20 seconds.. ya grand scaravan, the ultimate pilot trainer for HARD IFR IN ICE
The sounds are as good as your videos. Would love for you to post the tracks that you mix in. Love it.
