Cessna 182P Skylane | 270HP | High Performance Endorsement | Aircraft Check Out

This time around, I'm flying a 1976 Cessna 182P Skylane with the P. Ponk conversion for an estimated 270HP. This airplane (N1998M) is the most beastly airplane I've ever flown. I got my high performance endorsement and got checked out in the airplane in this one flight. I plan on taking this airplane up to the Grand Canyon this winter. This Sunday morning was a particularly windy one. The winds were at 15 knots or more when we left the pattern. When we came back in for a full stop, it was 17G24. These were easily the windiest conditions I had ever flown in. We encountered low level wind-shear that put us in a 20 degree bank just over the numbers. Unfortunately, the GoPro stopped recording about 80% through the flight. I'm sorry the audio quality is crap (as usual), but at least it's something. Please remember these videos are strictly for ENTERTAINMENT! Please enjoy and give me some feedback as well. Happy Thanksgiving.

Sweet landing...

Just got done with a flight in this same aircraft KSDL (SWFltCntr)> KPRC. The air vent does sound like the stall horn at times even when IAS of +100, be sure to push in fully shut. C172R transition to C182P a little tricky. The added feature of Prop Pitch in relation to throttle and Mixture should be observed and taken into consideration. Trim (Pitch & YAW) is the "poor mans autopilot" helps greatly.

Thanks for commenting and watching. It's cool meeting people who have flown the same tail number. I plan on making a trip up tp the Grand Canyon soon, and then Payson after that.

Jeff Daugherty wow

[@easttexan2933]

Would loved to have heard your pre take off briefing include Dan Gryder's AQP discussion about engine failure, and what to do. If that part was edited out ok, but that discussion needs to happen every time before throttling up. Check out Dan Gryders Probable Cause Channel.

Things like this were edited out for watch-ability. I was not aware of the AQP stuff at the time as it was not well known in 2018. I know of Dan’s channel. This channel is here to provide entertainment, NOT instruction...

@@MichaelVanHeemst I get that but some pilots make look at it differently.

[@MichaelVanHeemst]

@@easttexan2933 In that case, people would be looking at it incorrectly. Editing removes context, and this is not an instructional video.
