What an awesome machine, when I did my endorsement in it way before you where born took it out fly it around with instructor half fuel trying to stall it power off was hard work, it just mushed, power on stall a different matter! Then back to the flying club to load on 4 bod's for a load check, all kid students crammed in the back, 10 flaps hold on brakes, go, all going good wheels up and I started to trim nose nose down and reached for the flap lever and instructor said hold 71 kts, the look on those kids faces as this thing was just heading skyward was just priceless. Coming into to land I started setting up flaps, instructor calls flaps failure, so flapless landing, I won the lottery that day, planted it on the numbers with 6 POB like oil on glass, not in one million years could I ever do that again, needless to say I got a stamp in the log book that I was good to go. Will never forget that day and what it was like to fly a Real Plane, cheers and enjoy
Wow, this was so much fun. I used to work for a guy who was a pilot--we did the workers' compensation insurance for several ski areas, and the best way to keep in touch, and for them to meet the dumb shit (me) they spoke to on the phone all the time, was to fly to them. He had a twin engine Cessna and I sat in the right seat. OK, one time going over to Mono lake, crossing over the Sierras was a bit spooky, but in general it was great. Seeing this video with many shots from that perspective brought back lots of good memories. Thank you very much.
Freaking me out a little- the first T210 I ever flew (and flew a lot) was "17A" (what are the odds!), out of Palo Alto. The entire was 5517A, I don't think its around any longer.
Enjoyed every bit of it. Love the 210. That last pattern though. Why so large? We used to routinely stuff ours into an 1,800 foot grass strip. You got flaps down on a two mile left base, adding more drag, requiring more power, at an altitude that will put you into houses below, because you are pattern altitude and 2 miles. The purpose of a pattern, is to inspect, and monitor the airport environment, before being committed on short final. I live in a heavily wooded area. If I cannot make the field, I will likely perish, and cause a forest fire at the same time!
It would be a bit more informative if you'd show the instruments, comment on how you coordinate the flaps and speeds, manifold pressure and propeller speed for the landing and then provide a view out the front window to show how you are landing the plane. I've heard that the 210 is front heavy, if you're doing anything special to keep the nose up on the landing then it would be nice to have you comment on that as you do the landing.
thanks for watching kirk! true point about the c210... is more nose heavy than lets say 152/172/182 and even 206... a little trim and extra back pressure is necessary in the flare. maybe next time i make videos i'll explain more... this was from years ago... i'm also hesitant to do too much flight instruction on a video, even though i am a CFI
Excellent video! I'm training IFR in my simulator Centurion. Even as a sim, it's a great aircraft. Curious, what kneeboard are you using? I only have the basic aluminum tablet type. Is yours pretty comfortable? Thanks again for the vid. I particularly enjoyed how you went through your checks etc.
I think the Bonanza was crossing behind them at the button of 20. You can see the Bonanza holding on the right as they go over the threshold for landing.
Brody, a lovely video. Just a query from one 210/206/BE58 pilot to another... that throttle pumping to get her started, is that normal in this particular airframe? On the 520/550 series I have never had to pump a throttle to get a start from cold, warm or genuinely roasting hot back in Africa. I would perhaps run that past your Maintenance folks and get it checked out at 50 Hour- doesn’t seem right to me. Could be that the Aux pump is on its way out, and replacing it now if it’s no working properly could very possibly prevent a major ball ache if it does break on you away from base on a Sunday when you’re not expecting it. Cheers
@@brodiebrazil It's been a tough year for sure. However, I did get my instrument rating in 2020, so that is a big bright spot for me. I hope you still get up to fly though for fun...

I fly a T210M, I've seen people say it handels like a truck but it's actually a really nice plane to fly.

Livermore!! I was just there for the first time this last weekend. Took my daughter to watch flights.

what are the chances!! seriously crazy.
Very enjoyable video, thanks for sharing.

Probably because he was #2 behind a bonanza that was taking its sweet time getting out of the way
@@NateVolk yep, exactly. traffic to follow was on a right pattern, I was left side, had to wait and give him space

@@brodiebrazil Uh, you're a natural B-man.
Why are you pumping the throttle . Fuel injected engines not Carby
And "mixture set for best power" so, its a turbo so its always full rich...
I was thinking ummm I don’t start mine like that.
That is Not necesario of you prime Well with the Electric pumps

relocate the capacitor from the firewall to the altentor

15:05 Interesting,, about to flare, landing 20 and tower says "Bonanza 33 Mike cross runway 20?" editing? out of sequence voice over?
I think the Bonanza was crossing behind them at the button of 20. You can see the Bonanza holding on the right as they go over the threshold for landing.
@@henrikryan1606 yep that's exactly it. soon as we overfly the displaced threshold, he was clear to cross.
And I thought you only covered the SJ Sharks
Very cool! Need to do some GA from time to time. Airbus has made me lazy lol.
What do you have attached to your yoke? Thanks
Speedbrakes .... I lol’d just a little bit. But, it’s a good callout to stay uniform between aircraft.
But... It... has... speedbrakes! haha. Which I can promise you don't want to go-around with them out.
@@dgheonmd My '60 210 without gear door mod... had speed brakes......just bring the gear down. (LOL)
Because that lead is picking up emi
Love the 210 I have 1500 hours in it
Me too👍
Any plans of doing player interviews while flying?
haha, only if they're comfortable with it. "small planes" aren't for everyone's liking unfortunately.
@@brodiebrazil how about a larger plane then? With a correct rating you could be the team's pilot for the away games. How cool would that be?
Players? Who in the hell would care?
"Bogeys, six o'clock low. Break right!"
How does Cessna build this plane without wing struts?
Cantilever wing

What program are you using for the editing? Awesome flying also.
Jeez, glad you're not having to rely on guy in the other seat to do anything 🙄
Nice airplane but it sounds like a teapot.
it's got that MD-11 sound. 😎
@@brodiebrazil 😅😅😅😅😅
Just finding out you are a pilot/CFI Brodie! I am a Private Pilot based out of KDVO myself. Do you fly often? Do you still instruct?
unfortunately flying has been decimated this year... haven't actively instructed in years but still maintain currency and certificate
@@brodiebrazil It's been a tough year for sure. However, I did get my instrument rating in 2020, so that is a big bright spot for me. I hope you still get up to fly though for fun...
I dont know how you can fly with that awful alternator whine... You may have a bad diode on the rectifier.
think of it like an MD-80 haha
Arsenal FC FTW!
