Piper Cherokee 140! Low and Slow River Flying | "Flight Vlog" #2

- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2018
- Today I flew "low" or at least as low as is legal and comfortable in a Cherokee 140!
Follow me on Instagram @FlyingGrimaud for video updates. Today I am flying Low and Slow in a Piper Cherokee 140. If Trent Palmer can do it in a Kitfox... I can't do it in a Piper Cherokee! :D MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW FAA REGULATIONS AND FLIGHT SCHOOL REGULATIONS! It is very important to know the area you are flying to and to flight plan before hand to make sure that you are flying within FAA Regulations. I checked with the FAR Aim as well as my Flight school before this flight.

Did you make it to the end and see the question I had? If so what is your answer? Comment below!
PP rated. Trained with Ret. Col. USAF F-105/FAC Nam vet. Own Kitfox IV and Lazair UL's.
Shannon Whitaker Thank you for your service. I’m actually currently in ROTC. My grandpa flew F-4’s with the wild weasels in Vietnam and my dad was a T-38 instructor as well as flew C-130’s.
Shannon Whitaker Unless you are saying you trained with the vet in which case thank him for me and that is very cool!
That's correct. I received formal flight instruction from a Vietnam F-105/FAC pilot who flew missions over Hanoi and who also flew the Military FAC version of the Cessna 337. I was very fortunate and honored to receive military style training with the Col.(now deceased, RIP)
One thing I liked about your video was flying "low" over the river. On my very first training flight "er mission" I was instructed to follow a winding-curving sandy beach river that's fairly wide. We dropped down low (on the deck low) and to me it was like a scene from the movie BAT21. For a second I thought the guy might be having flashbacks looking for VC or something. WOW that was crazy but what a blast !!! Evidently I did pretty good following the river as I got a nod of approval as we climbed back up to altitude. Later on I realized this was his way of seeing early-on if you were cut out for intense flying. Little did he know I'd been flying with my Dad since I was a toddler :)
PP rated, own a quarter of a Cessna 150. All my formal flight training was in a Cherokee.
Rusty student pilot here with now a rusty body since this picture was taken. Flew as a F/A from 1976 to 1989 with Eastern Airlines based in SJU and MIA. I like your videos. Thank you for posting.😎
Peter Nicolaides im glad you enjoyed, how did you like being based in MIA? I’m looking at getting a corporate job out there.
@@FlyingGrimaud All bet's are off since this Covid-19 virus. MIA-BUSY.😎
Peter Nicolaides Fair point, I’m praying it clears up soon and that there will still be a job open when it does. I have right around 250 hours now and so I’m looking to fly banners over next summer and hopefully get to a better job.
Great work young man! I own a Piper Comanche 400, and have over 6000 hours logged. I was a T-38 Instructor, as well as flew HC-130P's in the 17th Special Ops Squadron. To boot, my dad flew F-105 Wild Weasel's in Vietnam. Just wanted to say "keep up the great work!" You have a great head on your shoulders! I love to see young people keeping up the love of aviation! When's the next video?
I would love to take a Comanche 400 in the air at least once. Such a power beast!
Those were some beautiful clouds at 5:30!
Always like to ride along , and felt safe !!! Keep em coming :)
Definitely will! The plan is to release about one video a month if not more. Thank you for flying along!
Great video bro! I am an A&P in school for my pilots license and you are definitely an inspiration
V. Gregg Undercover1566 Hey that is awesome! I’m actually an ase certified mechanic for cars and wouldn’t mind getting my A&P.
Great video. I thought the quality was good. And I love the fact you were flying a Cherokee. I am an owner of a beautiful 67 Cherokee 180. Buying my own plane was a dream come true. Keep flying. Blue skies for you
Dang dude, awesome video and great editing! 👌🏻
I like your enthusiasm for aviation no matter what you are flying. I live in the Kitfox world and knew Trent before
he was “famous” thru RUclips. He loves aviation like you so you do have much in common. He loves to share that passion and since he is a pro videographer, sharing thru social media like youtube is natural for him. He does also have top notch video equipment. He has a great personality and conveys the joy of flight with thousands of people. He is the real deal. Same in person as in the vids.
You can be a great ambassador for aviation too. You may not have 100,000 plus subscribers but you never know. Fly safe, enjoy every flight.
Steve K Thank you, I appreciate it. I am just trying to start somewhere and so I figured I will just start by making videos that I enjoy because if I enjoy it then so will viewers.
Wow I really loved this video! I can tell that you spent a lot of time filming and editing this video, and it turned out amazing. I’m excited to see this channel grow and succeed! I am a student pilot who flies in a Piper Cherokee, so it is very neat to see that the airplane you fly is also a Cherokee. I can’t wait to watch future videos of yours!
Tyler Bitz Thank you! Keep me updated on your license. How many hours do you have currently?
FlyingGrimaud I only have about 3 hours so far but I’m planning on picking up the pace soon. I’ve been studying up on ground school information lately, which will help me a lot when I actually start to fly more often! :)
Tyler Bitz That is awesome! If you have any questions, given the fact that I just got my license under a year ago, I can probably help you out. Glad to have you join the wings club.
Nice video! I am a CFI, CFII and soon to be FO for a regional airline. It’s nice to see young people getting started in aviation and promoting this awesome career field and for some hobby! Keep flying and keep putting out good videos.
Danny Barreto Thank you I appreciate that! I am currently an instrument student and will be hopefully joining you in the CFI club in the next year or two.
FlyingGrimaud Have you applied for any of the Cadet Academies? American Airlines Academy ?
Danny Barreto No, I am currently in Air Force ROTC at a state college however and in their flight program here.
Just subbed mate, very cool. You flared well, keep going, good luck
Michael Yates Thank you sir! I appreciate it
Thinking about taking flying lessons. I've always enjoyed flying, from my very first time in a Cessna 172, when I was 16. My dad arranged it with a friend.
Larry Goglin You definitely should. My recommendation is to go take a discovery flight to see if you really want to do it and if you decide you want to, try to knock it out as fast as possible. The faster and more you can fly, the cheaper it will be in the end.
am professionally jealous !
#1. NICE. BRO. 😎
Nice job young man! Ignore the detractors. You were not really that low...which is good. Learn to fly like that the right way...gradually and carefully. If you can find a pilot with experience flying like that get some instruction from them. Flying low can be a blast but little margin for error. Look forward to seeing what you do next! Safe flying and happy landings.
Model Aviator Adventures Thank you I appreciate it! Yeah I didn’t want to fly too low especially in a rental plane. So I check with regulations and with the flight school to see what I could fly at to be safe before I went on the flight.
Just randomly came across your video and I saw the Sundance plane so I clicked on it. Noticed a Cameo of me in my Cherokee at 1:17. Awesome keep the videos coming.
Zac Rice Wow that is amazing! I am in college so making videos is pretty difficult but over the summer I plan on making a lot more. If you are available Saturday, there is a fly-in at stillwater hosted by the flying Aggies! We would love to have you out there! Go to my Instagram @flyinggrimaud for info.
Subscriber #115 Great job!
montiuar glad to have you!
Funny....... I got checked out yesterday in 264SA at Sundance (my 1st time ever there) and this morning I'm YouTubing Cherokee videos & I find yours.
Eldon Hunt, Jr. Hey that’s awesome! Welcome to sundance, it’s really an amazing airport.
It'd be really cool to get some ground to air footage especially when flying low.
Student pilot who bought my own plane. Cherokee 180 N5224L. Great video! Just subscribed
Congrats on the plane! Welcome to aviation. Unsure if I will be posting any more videos anytime soon. I'm now a CFI and Seaplane pilot but finding the ability to record at the same time is pretty tricky.
Awesome video, great editing. I fly for a tour company in Tavares Florida in a cessna 206 amphib and a cessna 185 on straight floats. where do you fly out of? you got my sub.
Straight and Level LLC Awesome! I fly out of KHSD in Oklahoma City. Glad to have you! I don’t exactly have a ton of time to post videos due to being an instrument flight student in college but if you click the notification bell, you will know when I post next.
Hey great video! Is that the Cimarron river?
Tom Nicholas yes it is indeed! Not exactly the prettiest river but it is still fun to fly with.
Earned my sub :)
Michael Ancel Glad to have you!
I came across this video on my suggest and I really like your video subscribed now. I think you will take off as a Channel
Hey thank you. I think if I had more time to post, it would be better! I am going to be pre recording a few videos to try to get them out monthly from next month through summer.
I own my own plane, student pilot very nice video.
I’m not a pilot yet but will be hopefully beginning the Sundance Flight Academy in the next couple of months. It’s pretty cool to randomly come across another pilot on RUclips whose home base is KHSD!
I do not own a plane hopefully one day though. I do help with the KitFox Project happening with the EAA Chapter 24 in the hangers there at Sundance. Come it out!
Nicholas Rutledge hey that’s awesome! I was down there talking to one of the guys in that hangar over Christmas break. Good luck with your license, it is a ton of fun!
Hey, I’m starting my Student Pilot Training at Sundance. I’m interested in Video recording each of my flight lessons with my GoPro. Since you have this experience of flying their Cherokee’s, could you tell me if there are any GoPro mounts already in the aircraft like one behind the seat in the center?
Nicholas Rutledge Hey that’s great! Just be careful because the FAA is weird about student pilots recording. Just make sure you only record your dual flights and not the solo flights. As far as mounts are concerned, the places you can put them are limited since you don’t own the plane. If you owned it you could just buy a sticky mount and put one on the roof but since you don’t, you will have to use window mounts for the most part.
FlyingGrimaud thank you for this information. I really just want to have video and audio with my instructor. Will help with documenting the journey. Thanks!
Nicholas Rutledge Absolutely, i use the N-Flight recorder for audio and it works great. Also just make sure the video doesn’t distract you from flying. That’s one reason I haven’t videoed in awhile. I mostly fly ifr now.
I fly own and fly a tri pacer and an 1955 f35, have a commercial with restriction. The tripe is for sale
Good video don’t worry about detractors just keep doing videos of things that interest you. To your question I am a pilot and own a share of a 172. If you find a couple of people to share the overhead costs it makes it much easier on the budget. Plus most GA planes sit far more than fly even with 3 owners.
Thank you for sharing! I would love to do that as well but sadly I wouldn't be able to train in my own plane at the state school I fly at. It is part 141 which prohibits flying your own aircraft. As well as I am not sure if my fast food pay check can cover much more than what I am already paying ;D
Where is it so flat? 0:40 Me, Sierras & coast range...
I'd think you gotta pay attention to navigation; I have Mt. Shasta & Sutter Buttes to peep out the window & find myself.
That my friend would be Oklahoma. You are correct, people have got lost on their checkrides if they are not paying attention. I use lakes and cities for VFR navigation mostly however you definitely want to pay attention to where you are going (especially at night).
I lived in Ponca City once upon a time...
Oh no way, I have flown up there to eat at the Mexican restaurant on the airport. I will probably make a video flying there sometime soon but not sure when.
"Uh, Sundance, can you send a tow truck? I landed on a gravel bar and, well, I don't have fat tires"... BTW, own an Avid Mk IV & rent C172's also...
Yeah I definitely will not be landing off runway that is for sure! ;D Also I will not do anything that is not approved by Sundance and within FAA regulations. That would be the call of shame right there.
Seems like you got some time in the Cherokee, what would you think of it as a backcountry plane for decently maintained dirt and grass strips? I’m looking at a 180 for here in Alaska, I want something I can train in but also load a friend or two in and go camping, but then also on the weekends fly the 600 miles home if I feel like to see my family. Performance wise they seem relatively fast, good useful load, but rugged enough to handle something less than paved.
Trace Mitchell Here is what I will say, I now fly Cessna 172’s at college and if you want something that has enough power, useful load, and can handle a lot, the Cessna is the way to go. The Cherokee can either fit one friend, and camping gear, or you can have two friends and no gear. It’s a great trainer and it definitely can take a beating, but the Cessna has a lower stall speed, it is about the same cruise speed if not a tad bit faster, and since it is a high wing,I am not as concerned with landing in rough areas. I hope this answers your question; although, I think the Cherokee is more fun!
FlyingGrimaud the reason I leaned to the Cherokee is the 180hp engine and that my experience has been most 172 are utility categories killing their UL from 1000+ to 800lbs it seems like the Cherokee 180 tends to push by in speed usually and UL, with a roughly 1200lbs UL. I started flying here in 172s and they’re of course a great airplane but the other problem with them is they have jumped big time in price recently a good looking Cherokee is 30-40,000 a same quality 172 seems to run 50+. Thanks for the info though, and as for the stall speed I might throw a VG kit on, haha, should bring the stall speed in line with the 172. We will see what happens though!
Trace Mitchell Awesome! I learned in a 140 so I don’t have any experience with a 180. But both are great planes. The Cherokee is more fun and I personally find more enjoyable, so if the price is right and the 180 has the power you need, definitely go for it! Let me know which one you go with (if either).
I have a Cherokee 180 with a Robertson STOL kit and a climb prop. It climbs great. They seem to handle a maintained grass/dirt strip with ease. But I wouldn’t want to do anything too rough in it. It’s still a tricycle gear with a heavy nose due to the 180 HP engine.
Miles Classen Awesome feedback, I would love to fly a 180. I fly a Cessna 172 now and I would love to switch back to a Cherokee at some point. The Cessna is great but I think I would prefer a Cherokee 180.
Cool video man, I’m a pilot, I rent for now but looking into buying something
Matt Miller Awesome! What would you like to buy?
@@FlyingGrimaud well my goal is to bud time, and find a cheap plane that can also carry my wife and one year old son. I was looking at some light sport experimentals but I'm also pretty sold on the Piper Cherokee 140s
Matt Miller Definitely a great aircraft for building time. Hope it all works out for you!
Rest in peace audio sync.
I was hoping nobody would notice! ;D Yeah it messed up pretty bad at points D:
The cimarron and canadian river are awesome in central/wester oklahoma on the north portion of the state ! Just did some this week, I recognize that flight school being in the Oklahoma city area ! Check out my youtube channel !
Apologies just seeing your comment. That is awesome to hear. I will definitely go check out your channel right now.
If you really wanna fly low and slow, fly a cub!
Mackenzie Clarke If I could afford to buy one you better believe I would! My fast food job that got me what I even have barely cut it 😂
Looks like FL
My advise would be don't try and fly like anyone else (Trent Palmer) just do your own thing. His aircraft has much better stall characteristics and slow speed handling qualities. I've lost friends doing crazy sh1t in aircraft, do what you do and do it well Fly safe.
lukesy777 Hey thanks for the advice. Don’t worry, the most you will see me do in a Cherokee I did in this video but you are definitely correct. I will keep that in mind. Thank you!
I am a Pilot and own my own plane. (I got videos too, but they are not as good as yours)
Christopher froeschl hey that is awesome! I will definitely go check them out. And hey it is all good, have to start somewhere. I have been doing video editing for awhile
Dont drink soda
That was the most awkward intro on earth
Forrest Nelson It was the first one I had ever really done so I’m definitely still a work in progress. I will keep that in mind though for the next one. If you have any suggestions then feel free to let me know.
Sub #200
Francisco Cruz Heck yeah! Glad to have you! Guess I have to do a 200 subscriber special now and since you were 200 would you rather have my give an okc flight or a flight with my friends to a cool restaurant?
I'd reccomend a flight to a sub that lives within your area, that's what I would do.
Francisco Cruz I can try but I’m not sure if I have enough subs to actually have somebody in the area. But thank you for the suggestion!
Lmao you call that low dude your at 500-1000ft off the ground or more 🤣🤣 I’ve gone in a Cessna with the wheels on the water before
Harris_Carvel for a student pilot with 20 hours, at the time yes. I would call that low altitude for a student. If I were to do that now, no it’s not low but now I almost have 300 hours.
Yah after chatting with Trent I thought why not scouted an area I never flew at and with 100 hours did some sketchy 172 wheel touches on water, down canals and through fields. Should mention everything was FAA regulation legal incase people read this and go crazy
Harris_Carvel Sounds like a great time to me. You won’t see me doing that in the cherokee rental but one day when I own my own plane, I will likely be joining ya on the fun!
FlyingGrimaud I was in a rental as well 🤣
Harris_Carvel Well I suppose you can do what you wish but I must say that doesn’t seem like the best decision.
I am a pilot and own a Cherokee C 180
wow you even got trents terrible music taste lol
antsolja probably because it’s one of the only things we can use without getting copyrighted.
@@FlyingGrimaud ah the state of youtube
antsolja Yup... gotta love it...
Making a claim like you have in your title is a great way to shoot your channel in the face. You’ve got a long way to go to even THINK about comparing yourself to Trent Palmer. Maybe start with quality before making claims. Lol.
Bradley Ensminger Thank you for the input, I didn’t even consider comparing myself to him. Just trying to get noticed. But I will take that into consideration and change the title. Thank you.
Bradley Ensminger If anything I meant it as a means of appreciation and not the opposite.
Naa man it's your Channel and we obviously know you can't fly like Trent in a 180. Ignore the haters who don't have any videos !! Keep it up !!
Shannon Whitaker I appreciate it. And I was thinking about it, it isn’t me trying to imitate Trent Palmer, it is just that I recognize his name carries meaning and with RUclips without key words, it is difficult to get discovered so if anything I used this title out of respect. I appreciate it.
Dont bother watching...BORING!!!
Come on man ? Boring ? Trent started out the same way flying around in a "Boring" Cessna 172 I believe. I watched the video for what it is and he's doing a very good job.... NO excellent job.
People out there who want to fly like Trent Palmer need to realize that this is the type of flying you'll have to do to get a licence that enables it.
I watched a couple of your videos and well...I'll just leave it at that....lol
B Pace Instead of just saying boring, I would love to here what you would like to see for me to improve for next time. Thank you for watching however and hope you return.
Shannon Whitaker Thank you I appreciate that. It is a lot more work than it looks to video and fly at the same time.
