- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- We were having a few minor issues with the Gulfstream, so we went for a test flight around the area to check everything out. We spent a little over an hour in the air checking the Angle of Attack indications, oil pressure indication, auto throttle function, and satellite communications.
Here is the website for the hat company:

One of your better video's, Shaun. Nuts n bolts stuff is what pilots need more of. Great work.
Seconded... Really an interesting vid. Neat to see you two working with the mechanic. Troubleshooting mechanical or tech is interesting. Hope the plane issues work out. Smooth winds to all.
mike blackford Third...ded? Anyway I agree. I think this is your best vid yet.
After spending forty years as a corporate pilot/ A&P mechanic I can certainly appreciate a video like this.
I have flown many different types of jet aircraft throughout my career. . Let’s see, Lear 24,25, 35, g-II, g-4, jetstar I and II, citation 500, hs 125-400/700, BAC 1-11, westwind, b-727 very limited. I’m sure I’ve forgotten something, comes with old age.Lol.
Add to that mechanic training for each aircraft as well. Yes, I stayed busy with recurrent training. No, not all at the same time.
Dang a 'shout~out' on a service call....You guys are doing something right
You know something that might be cool, don't know if corporate or the mechanics would approve but viewing some of the comprehensive service being performed for the nuts and bolts crowd.
Guys. What’s the hardware at the base of the windscreen center post on the glare shield? It’s located where a mag. compass or AOA indicator might reside.
Thanks for the videos!
u gotta be nuts to watch a vid on bolts...
Rose-Hullman Institute of Technology - Terre Haute, IN - CHEER: "BOLTS, NUTS, SCREWS, GEARS! ROSE FIGHTING ENGINEERS, RAH!"
John Hudson Shaun explains this in this video:
ruclips.net/video/E-3Wao6t1EI/видео.html
Skip to the 1:50 mark it's a warning for spoiler failure and looks like AOA too
I love it "if you see anything, scream"!!
Nice to see the people "behind the scenes" - the flight attendants and maintenance workers. Another great video, thanks for having us along and for sharing!
As a former USAF C-130H3 mechanic, I appreciate you showing the maintenance side of things! I was an Instruments/Autopilot/Navigation Systems Apprentice in the late 90's.
It would be fun to see a tour of the Presidential Aviation hangar and other planes. Thanks for the amazing videos guys!
As a non-pilot but a nuts-n-bolts guy..I love the working bits you talk about. Servos, cables, and computers...love it!! Please talk about your "speed checks" when talking gear and flap deployment, down the road please!! If you ever do a free flight giveaway...count me in!
That was and interesting and ALL TOO IMPORTANT "shake-down" flight. It's something us viewers don't usually have a chance to witness. Thank you for taking us along!
thanks for the continued behind the scenes operational/technical stuff. you guys are officially my favorite RUclips channel. Thanks for all that you do. Continued friendly skies for you and all you fly...
Couple of loose nuts behind the yokes lol. Excellent videos guys 👍🏼👍🏼
HAHA...funny...
Best video to date for me. Getting to fly along on a test flight and getting to see first hand the problems that you encountered was epic. The cockpit view was great . Being able to see all of the controls and panels along with seeing out the front windshield was so cool. You guys are the best. I am so glad I found your channel so long ago. Just to note the video was spot on along with the sound. I am always so amassed how well you both can keep up with all the radio traffic. I'm sure with all the practice you both have it comes easy. As always a very impressive video. I'm sure you have already but a complete inside and outside walk around with narration would be great. Thanks guys for all you do. I would never in my life time have been able to see all you have shown if not for your channel. Be safe friend.
Nice to see that when the crap ain't goin right, there are still two skilled guys that are actually the one's FLYING this beast. That auto throttle stuff was weird, and incidentally, if you go back onto the video you will find that a few times, that throttle synch was out of wack for 10-20 secs even while you and Jon handn't even noticed it..... and then all of a sudden ( once again ) Jon chimed in..... LOOK.. at those throttles "again" Great work and great video.
You guys work so well together, super profesional.
Great Tech video! Best one so far. It was nice seeing one of the faces that keep you guys flying safe! Thanks for shouting out the techs, we don’t get much love out there!!
Without the techs, these planes wouldn't go very far...thank you!
I was imagining your tech reaching out the door tapping the aoa sensor with his screwdriver, lol!
Gotta tweak the PID gain parameters on that #2 autothrottle.
Beautiful views as always! ✈
Nice! Not often one can follow a test your like this. Thank U!
Another great video! Really like watching you and Jon work and enjoyed watching the technical aspect of what a corporate pilot does to keep their aircraft at 100% and not 99.9% or less. It's like you don't want to see a doctor who only got B's and C's in med school, you want the guy who got A+'s all across the board. Always great to hear the ATC shout outs and keep up the great work and appreciate you sharing!
Joel3130 a doctor friend joked about that with me: doesn’t matter if they graduated top of their class or right at the bottom, they are still called “doctor”.
A comforting thought
Sure miss these flights with you and John you guys crack me up.
Great videos. Keep ‘em coming. Can’t say thank you enough. I’ve always been interested in aviation. Love watching you guys fly. Thanks again.
Glad you enjoy them!
Guys, Great test vid. Throttle Cable tensions, i remember our mechs working them at KMLB on JSTARS. Looked like you went over us just south of the cape.
Thanks for the ride along in your office. Keep’m coming.
What a great video! I love the technical side of aviation and this had my attention for the full 45 minutes. Well done!
Nice work. Been out of flying for several years. I really love the on screen charts and verification systems (runway etc) used - SOOO much better than changing Jeppeson Charts every week and carrying around all the paperwork. And the MFD checklist. Much more efficient, convenient and safe than the old checklists. Also, it is important the people understand that even though being a pilot is exciting and looks somewhat easy, it really is a difficult job and can really wear on a person from time to time. I really love your vids and watching your work. You are a credit to the front seat and bring a great view of all the work to make travel safe. Be proud, I think you both deserve to be. Thanks, Larry
Thank you so much!
@@CorporatePilotLife what does it cost to have 2 pilots of your experience to fly for a private owner on a yearly deal. Ty love your vids
Guys as always a great video and like many on here we appreciate your experience ..and would fly with you two anywhere..one of the best ones you shot showing what issues you had..I have watched many of these over the years and this time watching that right engine throttle surging back and forth..soon as I saw that John mentioned it...guess knowing how she always handles in different situations is a plus...the hours you guys put in it really shows along with your experience..great job..continued success..Bob
Best CRM video ever....
like every video they do. It's inspirational stuff for those of us who fly single pilot and know very little about CRM.
Felipe needs to wind the rubber band up on the starboard engine and that should fix it. Just kidding guy's. Great video. Thank youagain.
HAHA! I’ll let him know...
Awesome John and Shaun, had me on the edge of my seat for the whole flight. Hope all is well for your bird.
If it means anything your corporate pilot life videos are the best. The other guys videos just don't cut it like yours.
When I hit the lottery I'm going to charter you and your Gulfstream IV. Have been to Lauderdale many, many times. Stay safe guys.
Thank you!
Thanks
Hey guys, I wasn't feeling it with that last livery, so I completely redid it... I had to give it a little bit of Presidential flair though.. :)
Enjoy!!

When I was an airline AMT one of us always went on the test flight out of Base Maintenance. BAC1-11, F-100, DC-9 and MD80, 737-200,300,400. It was always interesting.
Welcome to the Corporate Pilot Life team, Philipe(?)!
Very interesting watching - as always!
Kind of nice to see that things don't always go 100% smoothly! Thanks for another great vid!
One of your best! Thank you. Nice giving the recognition to the guys behind the scenes who keep you going.
Tower at 6:58 says to contact Miami Approach, instead of departure but you were on top of it. Love the videos, and as a student pilot it is awesome to see what is possible.
What a beautiful day to be flying in such a nice aircraft!
Best aviation channel by far. Thanks for the awesome content!!
Great video I’m not a pilot but love watching you guys flying
Another enjoyable video and I didn't even have to buy a ticket. You keep putting them on youtube and I will keep watching and enjoying them. Thank you, sincerely.
You guys do a great job with your videos. Keep them coming. As a former private pilot, I personally appreciate your professionalism. Thanks again.
Good evening Shaun. Great content as always. Blessings to John and yourself keep it up
Great video guys! Really like you showing us this test flight. I agree 100% its right or its no fly!
Thank you for sharing this with us. Real interesting to watch it.
This was one of your best! Shout outs and all! Keep flying the dream...
Bryan from Vancouver
Great to see some of the work done behind the scenes by you and the team! Thanks for this!
Awesome video, as always! This was a very cool side of your careers that I wasn't expecting to see. Keep it up!!
Best team work ever keep it up . It is like one knows what the other is thinking .
Thank you!
YES, on the hats again, matching "Corporate Life" shirts and we're in gents !!
A bad day for Mr Throttles but a fascinating 45 minutes for us!
Sean, if not done already, you may want to check the 7th fetzer valve, or perhaps the bypass line. Just need some pliers and 30-weight ball bearings.
Has no one seen Fletch? I obviously bombed on this one. Enjoyed the video, though.
Awesome video!! This was more up my alley as a mechanic...felt like I was check riding tryin to troubleshoot with y’all! Can’t wait for the next vid!
Love your videos and the quality is the best on RUclips, the angles of the shots are spot on. Keep up the great videos.
Great video guys ! I don’t know what urged you to make a vid of this ride, but as you see, a lot of us are glad you did. This was an interesting new experience for sure. Safe skies guys and thank you !
You feel like driving! 🤣🤣Lol that's epic
Absolutely amazing video! Keep up the great work sending us videos.
Finally just binged watched all the Vids. Keep up the great vids and may we meet all of the (non pc term) Stewardesses
Cool, I liked the shout out. The throttles looked a little nerve racking. Great video guys.
Discovered your channel a month or so ago, absolutely love it! Am an experienced R/C pilot in Colorado. Other current youtube favorite is disc golf, 2018 world championships are being covered right now, life is good!
New to the channel...your teamwork in the cockpit is excellent. Not a pilot, but my career was in a profession where teamwork is critical. I enjoy watching you make it happen.
Welcome to the channel! I hope you enjoy!
John forgot to smile! :)
21:00 both hands go up. Brought a smile to my face. Striving to become a pilot with the discipline y'all have! 👍🏻
smartycummins2500 you seem to be doing fine so far
This was a really absorbing video. Attention to detail, and ensuring a 100% A/C. Those throttle's walking around was pretty distinct, and as You both noted, in back that would not feel too comfy. Unless the recorded sound was a lot different than actual, that one controller was very hard to pick out, with all the attention being focused on the issues, and relaying them to the A&P guy, you did an amazing job of hearing ATC, Things really were fast paced for a while. A really great video, of sorting issues. Thanks for the ride.
Thank you! That audio was exactly what we hear, and yes it was a little fast paced for a few minutes there...
Thanks for the ride along. I hope they can sort those issues for you guys soon. Cheers.
Great video, I love every bit of it, and to see the throttles do that, interesting. That's what I was studying to become at one time an Airframe and Powerplant mechanic, I would have specialized in the jet engines. My best friend still holds his A&P license. Still would love to be an A&P mechanic, there is a big but in there, I'm older now, and not really in the best of shape. Keep the videos coming, would love to see some more tech videos as well, and some more beautiful scenery again, you get some of the best video of it.
Really liking that forward view.
Great video! I love your teamwork and communication.
Another great video guys. Please pass along to everyone behind the scenes how much positive feedback you get. You guys get the glory, but everyone knows the vast numbers of maintenance, cleaning, ground, flight ops and management personal required to make these flights happen. Especially pass along all the positive hype to the higher-ups at Presidential, as I can imagine it took some effort to get them on board with your videos. Also, thank you for replying on so many (if not all) the questions that come in the comments. Huge part of what you're doing. Hope you can keep it up (at least at some level) when you have 10x the number of followers and you're making as much of RUclips as you are off flying the bird.
Have you ever thought about doing a video next do you do sim work? It would be really cool to see you in a few emergency situations. Keep up the great work.
GMan_CT as far as doing a video of sim sessions, Jon and Shaun have asked permission but were denied
Thank you so much! You are very correct that there are many people behind the scenes that make this operation happen, and that's exactly why I was excited for the opportunity to get Filipe in one. I'm the folks in our operations office I think will be next...
We have tried to get a video in the simulator, but they wouldn't allow it. We're going to try again next time though.
Hey guys, this is my favorite video so far! I always like to troubleshoot too. You both need some striped bass fishing for the circle hooks on your hats. I recommend fishing the jetties in Long Branch or Deal NJ when you have some free time near TEB. The striper season is just beginning to get good. Expect 10-40 pound fish through October. The stripers like the big wooden plugs too and the bluefish will fight like mad. Have fun and keep up the great work!
That sounds awesome! If we can get up there sometime in the next month or so, we will definitely go check that out...thank you!
John sure showed his stuff on the landing!! Awsaome!!
Awesome!
Thanks for the ride.
Great video guys, the stall kinda scares me but im sure its all in a days work. Love your guys hats, What kind are they. John is that your sticker still on your hat....LOVE IT.
They are great hats...Avid Gear
Very interesting segment for me a non-pilot. Thanks for the link to avidgear.
If you ever wonder if you work well as a team, look at what happens at 20:59 - 21:03 (Hand gestures and response time). Talk about being on the same page! Well done, gentlemen.
Rick Fink NO SHIT!!! Doubles ice skating...
wow
Best video yet!! Very informative, Sean!!
Awesome video, guys. Great content that kept me riveted!
Thanks for the great video guys! Really appreciate showing the troubleshooting of the engine issue.
Wow, enjoyed that one. A little something different. Some comments; impressed that you can do all of your testing and talking within the cockpit, and communicate with ATC. I got so wrapped up watching you test throttles, etc... then heard Shaun talking to ATC....didn't even hear ATC contacting Presidential 69. I also officially like it when you edit in the runway view during take off and landing at the top of the screen so that we can see you guys in the cockpit and see the runway coming at you!!, Also I thought of something else that might be good for viewers, but maybe not practical. If there's any way you could briefly highlight the runways, when your approaching them, that would be cool. Sometimes its hard to see in video. Not a biggy though. Keep up the good work, and see ya next time!
Thank you Nils!
Love the technical videos.
You two are amazing... respect 🤗
As always, awesome video. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day!
Technical videos are great, very much appreciated. I've always wondered about post-maintenance flights and it's great to watch one in progress. Thanks for introducing Felipe. Everyone behind the scenes generally goes unnoticed in most cockpit videos. Francine too btw. On a technical note, and I am not endorsed in any way, you should get a Mavic 2. Seriously not affiliated, just a fan of both you and them. Let us know how the squawks work out.
Thank you! I have looked at the Mavic 2 and would love to get that new camera...looks amazing! The problem is that I cant justify the expense yet as I just bought the Mavic Pro last year...maybe someday
Nothing wrong with the Pro, it's an amazing drone too. I've had one for around a year and a half. Couldn't resist the 2.
Guys is nice to see you on the ground again,nice job and the landing was fast but good.
Good shit.
Thank you guys for all the great videos.
Top notch guys, love the channel.
Two thumbs up.
Watched for a second time. I learned a new metaphor "Drop the Dunlops" sounds much better than "Melt the Michelins." :oD
Great vid, as always. Tech troubles, always a challenge. Split throttles like that would get annoying. Glad they found the problem. I haven’t fished in a long time, for a couple of avid anglers, the hats look good. Think I like the blue better than the black, though...
Two of my best students!!!
Great job once again! I did have a question, in your flight planning was staying over ground better than over water? I noticed almost all the air work was done over ground except for the very end you were over water. But that may have been your approach. Do you plan for either one? Thanks and keep up the great work!!
That was just coincidence. ATC was just vectoring us in an area where we wouldn't interfere with other traffic.
Awesome vid again. Thanks guys from deep down under :)
I liked this video a lot.
Great video guys. This is really interesting .
Really enjoyed the flight and the views.
I need a hat sponsor! Being follicly challenged myself, I go through too many hats. Fun videos to watch and learn from!
This could be classified as a "Tech video".....loved it...!!! Liked the hats too, going to order me one.....thanks...!!!
Awesome! Tell them Corporate Pilot Life sent you...
Great video. Informative and really fascinating. Follow your adventures avidly. If you ever over in UK near Leeds would be great seeing you guys.
Very interesting video, continuing to put out great content!
If you can, please let us know what the corrective action was. I was an engine mechanic in the Air Force, and sometimes performed throttle rigs on C-141 aircraft. Thanks again.
The mechanic in the plane indicated it could be the tension on the cable but wouldn't the servo compensate for that? On a related topic, where is the speed input for the servo coming from? Is it the engine RPM?
Clearly the asymmetric trust issues are related to dirt in the carburettors... ☺
That'll be it. Go check...
(Shh - if he can find a carburettor in there I'll buy him a mars bar!)
Wondering when we were going to be treated to a check ride, hope Felipe irons out the gremlins for you.
Liked it. I swear, I think you guys have me ready for my G4 type rating...maybe in a couple more videos.
First video I came to watch. I’m not sure why but I really enjoyed this video. Good luck man, you’ll strive wherever you’ll end up!
Excellent
