    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

    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.

  • @davidwilson2657
    @davidwilson2657 3 года назад

    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.

  • @howtimflies204

    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

    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 :)

      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.

  • @MarshallLoveday

    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........

    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.

    Like the TBM but i'm a Cessna fan. The Caravan was the best plane Cessna ever made!

    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
