OneTaco. Thank you for the terrific RUclips videos. I very much enjoy the way you pick a topic to discuss during the cruise phase of your flights. I lived in Seattle for many years and moved down to the Bay Area recently, so I particularly enjoy the routes, origins and destinations you are encountering. I am not a pilot, but have a life-long interest in aviation, so your videos are really fun to watch. I like that you discuss how you are learning in many aspects of your flying, both the utility of flying, as well as the actual processes involved. Topics: The cost effectiveness of flying for your business requirements; The personalities you have encountered in private aviation; Reasons for your choosing the TBM 850; How your business associates/employees/customers/family respond to your flying; Your reasons to document (via RUclips) your flying experience... You get the idea... Thanks again.
Great suggestions! In particular, I’m working on one that compares the cost and time of flying the TBM with commercial. There are a lot of different ways to look at it, but I’ll do that one for sure soon. Also, why I make the videos. That one’s coming too.
Its Friday just finished watching The Madolorian and now get to watch One taco. Excellent way to spend time. I can understand. I've had to provide seminars to customers and that alone drained me so bad it even hard to drive back to my home city.
Once you take off, you can go 850 right away if you want. It’s only limited for takeoff. On the 850, it’s nice to be limited on takeoff anyway because you can push the throttle up without having to worry about overtorque.
@@onetaco772 If you do drop me a line! I'd love to check out a TBM. You basically have my fantasy airplane. I'll trade you lunch and a beer for TBM show and tell!
Hey taco, what did you fly before the TBM? I think I heard you say in some previous video that you own or owned a 182? Any others? Does the 182 still get any use if you still own it? How long ago did you get your PPL?
Your recollection is correct. I have a 182P that I used for some travel and to get my instrument. I have about 300 hrs in it. I still have it, but don’t fly it much anymore. In the last few years, I’ve been doing a little backcountry flying in it. It really is a capable plane. I got my PPL in 2016. The 182 and the TBM are the only planes I have any time in, which is unusual. Most TBM drivers come from a fast piston. Cirrus, Malibu, Mooney (fun fact: the “M” in “TBM” is for Mooney).
Beautiful day...nice flight..perfectly shot video and audio..tks for the ride!
My pleasure - thanks for watching!
really enjoy your format.. and banter! Keep them coming///

Exactly - thanks Ronnie
Thanks for taking me along for the ride! Looked like a pretty smooth landing.
Well, I try. When there’s no wind, even the TBM is easy to land.
@@onetaco772 I haven't seen anyone go into 850 mode so quickly after take-off or that near the ground. What conditions are required for the 850 mode?
Once you take off, you can go 850 right away if you want. It’s only limited for takeoff. On the 850, it’s nice to be limited on takeoff anyway because you can push the throttle up without having to worry about overtorque.
You seem to like cycling as well a I do :-)
That's my home airport I keep my Skylane there!
Wow - such a beautiful place. Hope to get back there someday soon

Sounds good! I’ll put another comment here next time I’m up your way.
Just found your channel. Are you based out of KSTS? I am out of KDVO.
Nope - KPUW, although I fly to KSTS a lot.
