Excellent video, thanks. I haven’t flown into KDTS yet and didn’t know what to expect with it being surrounded by so much military. This video is a great explanation. Looks pretty standard.
Yes. Consider the north transition which isn’t in the video is like a class b that requires clearance and the east west is like a class c. Leaving Destin clearance delivery very similar to a class c airport. FAA has a good online training that you can do that grants wings credit
Fun video...I live in and fly that airspace all the time. THE busiest military airspace on the Earth. But the controllers are really good also. I'll share this with friends since it's a much better video than I could have made. I can see my house from here...😮
Awesome video! Love the commanche. im a student pilot and im moving to florida soon and KDTS is where ill assume my flight training so this is cool to see for me. Looks like an awesome place to fly
@@planeplaces It kind of worries me being a low time student pilot coming from uncontrolled airspace to very controlled airspace. Im sure ill pick it up easy though.
@@maxs4986 It's a little intimidating at first, but just keep talking to Eglin and they will blend you into system. And one day if you are lucky, Eglin will advise you you're about to have company and a pair of F35 Strike Fighters will present a very brief photo op.
Great videos, Comanche looks to be a beautiful aircraft in real life. I'm not a pilot in real life but I've been enjoying the simulation aspect quite a bit. I recently was able to get myself one of those force feedback yokes, that have motors that move the control shaft both in pitch and roll to simulate the forces you feel when pitching and rolling. In real life, how heavy is the yoke when you are flying at cruise speeds? Do you have to put a lot of force to move it in pitch axis or is it relatively light? Is there a noticeable difference how heavy it is during the cruise, compared to when you are at landing speeds? Trying to tweak the forces on my virtual yoke to be in the ball-park of the real-life performance, but there is no published data on this, that I could find. Would appreciate any info on this.
I'd rate roll forces at all speeds as medium-light. It's very roll stable but doesn't need a lot of force to start or end a turn across the flight envelope. For pitch, it's very airspeed sensitive with a lot of change from stall to 105 mph best climb on takeoff and again when accelerating from cruise climb (120-130mph) to cruise which will be in the 145 - 170 indicated range depending on altitude. Climb and cruise trim on mine rides about 1 indicator notch negative from neutral. At cruise speeds, trim is adjusted in very small increments - less than 1/8 of a crank turn. On landings it's not uncommon to need 3 - 5 full revolutions of nose up trim with full flaps. Much less with 2/3rds flaps. On a touch and go or go around with full flaps you have to be trimming down rapidly or you will need a lot of nose down yoke force to not over pitch. Once trimmed to a given airspeed, it's very stable.
nice day cool plane
Thanks!

Nice, I lived in FWB for 20 years before moving over to Pensacola
Very nice! I grew up going to those beaches, great to see them from the air!
Thanks!
Beautifully directed video mate. Includes both the feel of flying and also excellent detail of cockpit ops and atc comms.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks I try to balance that

Busy place but everyone is friendly and the views are amazing

@@maxs4986 liveATC and adsb exchange both have good coverage along the coast. you can listen and watch from home to get used to how things flow
