You are FUN Kay! Do you volunteer to fly VETERANS and kids around to different medical instituations?
Stay great!!
❤️👍
Absolutely loved watching this whole flight. Loved how Albuquerque traffic was worried about you and the other target who he couldn't contact .For him it was be ahead of the game. Both of you were! Thoroughly enjoyed listening to just you explaining how everything worked. Flight management. Then on your inbound to landing again air traffic control worked well with you and you worked well with them! They love how respectful you are and they seem to very much show that in their help and response. Totally enjoyed this..
Yay I’m so glad!! Thank you for the kind words🥰
First of all, I'm glad you're feeling better (at least it seems that way). Thanks for bringing me along on the flight. I love flying with you (even if it's only in cyber space). When I started following you, I didn't understand a lot of the banter on the radio, but now I do. Please keep doing what you do.
Great flight. I am proud of your ability on the radio. I don't know how you manage to hear your directions and keep up with it all, but I'm sure practice is helping. Good job, Kay. I am thankful that you always put safety first, and don't get over confident.
I was thinking the same thing on the radio and multi tasking. She's a born Pilot!!
Thank you! I've had lots of practice so it's pretty easy now. :)
Anytime I find myself looking at a flight plan anywhere near my maximum fuel limits, I find it advantageous to take a quick stop. If you have passengers, they'll certainly appreciate the break in the action.
Kay I'm an old man that just enjoys watching your videos I'm not a pilot I'm not anybody special you used to let us watch you all the way up till you park the airplane through the traffic I kind of enjoy that.
Yep, I like to think of it as “landing afterglow”. Many others do it. I don’t know why she doesn’t.
You know when she had (Little Red) you would see her from the time she got in the airplane and yelled clear until she parked the airplane I enjoyed that I miss it LOL
To me, the flight isn't over until you shut the engines off and open the door!!!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😳
Remember Kay the only reason we're picking on you is because we love you everybody's a Critic
Absolute perfect landing! Very nice flying ❤
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Another perfect landing, great job Kay!!!
I'm actually surprised that with today's advanced technology that all radio call outs are not automatically typed on a screen so that the pilot has ATC directions readily available to read if they get distracted. ATC communications are so rapid fire and garbled at times with so many sets of numbers that I'm amazed that there are not more accidents.
Talk and type is unfortunately not reliable enough for that. I’d rather repeat it wrong and be corrected.
You play too many video games.😅
I was thinking it was a manpower thing
CPDLC, we use it every day.
Ummmm….. what?
Wow! All the factors taken into consideration for fuel consumption. You were highlighted on another channel for all of the things you do right (about 8 mos ago)... and don't take anything for granted, Thanks for sharing.
I watched a Pilot Debrief the other day, which focused on Kay's excellent skill set. If you can meet his high standards, you know you're a great pilot.
Thanks!
Wow Lance, starting this video off right! lol - Thank you so much.
You're ready for that King Air!
When the plane crash with a Piper happened the other day, someone tagged you. I freaked out but remembered "484 Hotel Papa" from listening and could tell it wasn't you.. Fly safe!! 🥰 🛩️
I thought the exact same thing I freaked out a little bit. First thing I did was look for the tail number.
Different aircraft types, she is flying a Piper Seneca III while the plane that crashed was a Piper Navajo...
You're kickin butt!! Awesome flying and landing. Love to see the grat skills at play. Love the channel. Awesome
Master of thumbnails.
wow! that was a close call on the fuel. No room for error toward the end. Great job!
Thank you so much!!!
You can get your automation to join the airway off of radar vectors by using the OBS to set the inbound track to the first point and then arming NAV, whether using GPS or VOR. Some people load more of the airway so they an intersecting a leg of their flight plan, but it's a better habit to use OBS because it's not uncommon on a departure to be asked to intersect and track a radial to a fix that may not be on a victor airway.
I love the decision you made to tell ATC you weren't willing to go up to 7,000. As someone who started getting his private pilot's license (and had to stop due to covid and never got back into it), it's nice to see how you handle various situations. Great video as always.
I’m so happy you’ve been enjoying the channel! Are you planning to continue getting your license??
@ Oh absolutely. The problem was just timing. After covid, the kids went to college, so the funds had to go there. One is already done (but might go for her masters) and one is finishing up. Sometimes, our dreams take a backseat to our kids.
You should add a CPDLC module to your avionics! That's going to become mandatory in a few years for domestic flying...You'll be able to toss the kneeboard once and for all too!
Always fun to watch when you fly in/out of KABQ with all of the familiar ATC voices, and recognizing the local aircraft/people on the radio. Yes, if you're over on the GA side there isn't much of Charlie that gets used. The number of times I've said to myself entering taxiway Charlieeand leaving taxiway Charlie. This was obviously a few months back as we are sure missing RWY 8-26 these days until...., fingers crossed, May.
Its such a baron landscape but also so beautiful at the same time! Nice flight!
For sure
Woah ! Love them twin prop babies !
Working that thumbnail
Just watched the startup and it occured to me, this would be a perfect aircraft to install Chevy 5.3L V-8 engines when it's time for a rebuild.
My basic instructor expected excellence, and no less. That included clear, precise standard radio communications. Back then, due to radio technology and modulation, it was very helpful to avoid monotone speech in favor of a more sing-song voice. It's still important, but today's radios are better. Many jokes were made about pilots and their radio voices, but it was essential. A friend & controller at busy NOLA Lakefront responded when I asked how I was doing on the radio, and he responded, "Sounds like Lufthansa coming in." Lol! Me and my "Learner's Permit" & a new 152....
On one of your trips, try Pearland Regional Airport on the south side of Houston. It is 2 miles to Friendswood, Tx and has a nice Mexican food place close to the airport ( walking distance) . Be careful as there are student pilots in the pattern. I keep my 340A hangered there.
I think the hardest thing for me to get my head wrapped around is the airplane is 45-years old! 99% of people don't have cars this old. However, I learned to fly in 1979, and remember when the Seneca III came out. I've flown the Seneca I and II. Very forgiving and easy airplanes to fly, even if the ones I flew were pretty long in the tooth! I flew them in a Part 135 cargo company...5-days/night per week in all kinds of weather!
The counter rotating props are a huge bonus as that eliminates the critical engine. Twins are always more dangerous than single engine aircraft for that very reason...
I ❤ how you are conservative with your fuel and very proactive communication about it with the towers! Very smart!
Great flight. I like how you edited this flight. Having flown this route a couple of times, the boring landscape you edited is like a straight highway. I tended to get a little sleepy. Great landing. Thoroughly enjoyed this one.
Watch your speed! No speeding, young Lady! 😂
31:35 Yes I caught that. Little Red's call sign/numbers. LOL
That's ok, sometimes I call my dog Yukon. His name is Alyeska. Yukon died Dec. 23, 1991. But they do look similar. My avatar picture is Yukon.
Enjoy your flights. Today’s flight you flew over my childhood area between the Manzano mountains and Corona. It was nice to see an overhead view.
I watched this video and noticed ONE sixteen second block of time where you were NOT talking! 🤣🤣🤣
I love this aviation channel so much! ❤❤❤
Thanks James! Nice to hear from you! :)
I am very impressed with your flying!
Awe thank you!!
You passed my home base off your right wing on departure out of ABQ....Mid Valley Airpark...E98! Safe travels, Kay.
Very cool!! Fly safe!!
I can see now that using the radio while flying requires a certain level of assertiveness. I know ATC is there to help, but I’d probably be like, ‘Yeah, sure, I’ll do whatever you say.’
This is an important lesson: be helpful, but always prioritize safety.
I know I’ve mentioned this before, but gosh, I love all the details you point out-like staying within glide distance of the runway when fuel is a factor.
Great video as always! 👍
Loved the continuity putting on the seat belt. Amazing what I notice 😂 very professional flight, well done Kay.
Love watching u fly beautiful pilot kay 😊
Piper twins 👍 only a few of us on RUclips. Your Seneca is great! Stay safe.
Love watching your videos, Kay. Very entertaining.
May the sky daddy always protect you, love your videos ❤️
Thought the longer version is better Thanks for sharing your experience Thumbs up 👍
Kay you are a flying fox!
Nice and smooth kay 😊
What? Houston, clouds. No kidding. In Pasadena.
Nice flight and great touchdown. Been there done that on the close fuel. LOL Happy all is good.
Nice Vid. Good Fuel management, good Music, thanx for sharing.😃
Your Pandora looks so pretty on you! ❤
Thanks!! I love my Pandora bracelets!
Kay hi I hope you have a nice trip and your aireplay.I thought I would say a lot.This is fine where I'm at.
Pennsylvania.
Pennsylvania❤
Thank you!!!
WOW BRILLIANT..... GREAT decisions from you ... Air Traffic just said go for it... Joy Joy Joy
Love you flying through the clouds. Cameras are awes😢ome
Well thank you!
Really enjoyed this last 45 minutes of my life. Kay, you are a joy to follow, would love to fly with you anytime. Thanks for a great video.
You need bigger decals for those engines and Fly with Kay decals like Lil Red had as well! Advertise! You talked about speed mods, what might they be? Can you add winglets for the tips if they would be worth the additional fuel savings? I know you're not the tech Wizz but maybe dad can answer? Love how you're showing us the ability to ask for flight level deviations during the flight. It's nice to know as others advance in their licenses.
The airplane now has bigger decals on it. Still haven't decided about FWK stickers. Stay tuned.
nice flight Kay ! thanks enjoyed it!
Nice thumbnail..... It gets the clicks for sure.
Take Care. My friend. 🎉🎉
Great views of I25 South!!
Always fantastic to see you flying enjoy your video’s merry Christmas my friend and happy new year
Your thumbnails are on point 😂
Love watching your very informative videos but watching this video could you tell me while looking from your tail camera it looks like an oil streak to the left of center of belly of your plane? Just to be cautious Thank you for you videos
You flew near Corona! That means you flew very near me to get there. Awesome!
Hating the new ‘sexy’ clickbait thumbnails you don’t need to do that - you are an accomplished pilot
@@bunkerrocketworks3190 agree…loyal viewers are more important than “Creepers” just to get Views, Likes and Subscribers.
I have to say I kind of agree too. There seems to be a pattern with youtubers. They start out organic, kind of quirky maybe, but appealing, and start getting more followers and gaining traction. Then for some reason they decide they have to ratchet it up with high-end sets, endorsements, and maybe in this case eye candy thumbnails. I wish youtubers in general would remember what got them followers to begin with. Love your channel just as it is! Please don't tinker too much with it. We just want to watch you fly.
@@jankrygier1607
While I hear you, at the end of the day, more eyeballs = more money. I honestly thought nothing of it until you guys brought it up. Agreed, I would have clicked either way, but no doubt she'll get more with a more "suggestive" thumbnail. Should she do it? She has to make that call.
The bottom line is guys.This lady is trying to grow her chand she's not doing anything that would disrespect her or her family so get over her being sexy.. She's a very accomplished pilot
She has an active page, you are a wannabe. She wins
43 min video, I said yep let's go girl, SOOO worth the watch! V-Nice landing BTW Chirp-chirp... lovely!
What did your dad do at MS? Sounds like security …. Can you do a nav for dummies video? Like how to dial in those heading codes and stuff.
Wonderful job great show keep up the fantastic footage
I think after EVERY long complicated instruction from ATC, after my response, their next transmission to me would be...
"READ BACK INCORRECT!
LAND IMMEDIATELY, PRACTICE RADIO CALLS FOR TWO YEARS, AND TRY IT AGAIN!"
😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂
At 17:25, we couldn't read the numbers. Suggestion - could you make that chart a graphic that you can insert into your videos for a few seconds?
23:00 get yourself an oxygen concentrator. It makes you feel so much better, makes a huge difference at night, and with the amount you fly, would be far cheaper than oxygen tanks. I've been flying with one for a year now, and it's amazing - I keep 99% oxygen saturation up to FL180 using it. I did a test with it here: ruclips.net/video/oIvgC2gJdXw/видео.html
GREAT VIDEO KAY
Thank you so much!
Hi Kay I enjoy your videos. As much as you fly you need to install a JPI fuel flow scanner system. Aircraft fuel gauges are notorious for their inaccurate readings. My advice would be to never let your tanks get below 1/4 tank until you can afford a JPI or equivalent. As they say: there are old pilots and bold pilots but no old bold pilots. Keep up the great vids!👩✈️
Not bad advice, but keep in mind that if you fill the tanks, you know exactly how much fuel you have, 98 gallons or so. Starting with that, as long as you monitor the fuel burn, math will prevent you from running out of fuel, no matter what the gauges say...
Hi Kay, I have a quick question for you. At marker 11:35, looking at the bottom of your aircraft, have you got a leak present?
Look at that desert. Obstacles no factor there.
What do you make of the drones in New Jersey? Ever seen anything weird when in the sky
Whew _ i can lay off my fingernails now// lol Great flight > your one of the few people that i would ever fly with. Last time i flew was in 1974 Back to Texas from Fla DC 3 in a frass field to Atlanta Ga then jet to Beaumont Texas :)
Good morning pasific time LAX !
Thanks for taxing and run up video.
You’re welcome!!!
Kay what a awesome job your one pilot i would fly with total respect to you from ur Canadian fan . You would make a great bush pilot up here . Look at you bring it down in that wind wow !!!
how many hours do you average per month and what is your total hours at the present time...also what are your long range plans as far as commercial pilot?
Admire your flying it’s always terrific! Glad you’re very safe at it. Love flying but unfortunately don’t get to do much
Love you videos
Hi Kay,
I don’t think I’ve heard you mention the glide range of your aircraft before. I imagine it’s something you have to know but you don’t ever want to find out for sure 😊 How far do you think you can glide your Seneca and land safely?
While there is glide range, you don't really worry about it too much. You lose an engine you still have one. The odds that both go out are slim.
I like your videos. I’m not a pilot but is it very tense when piloting a plane? I noticed you are always checking the gauges and scanning everything? Thanks
She is using autopilot which makes it far easier. Some small planes have it, many don't. Hand flying the plane for hours would be a lot of work, but that is what you have to do on many small airplanes.
Does anyone else wonder who named the two waypoints of BUD PEE & CORONA?
Definitely sounds like an inside (outside?) joke! 😂
Watching now, always fun. But there's still a long fluid stain on the under carriage. Otherwise the plane looks great!
I don't see a fluid stain. Two rows of rivets and what looks like an antenna, but that's it.
She still over talks ATC so I don't think she will ever change that.
I trained in a Seneca I with radar and heated windshield. They are very good.
Can I ask what the warning was before the gear lowered?
My manifold pressure was low so it was reminding me that the gear wasn’t down🥰
@@FlyWithKay thank you... 😊
Kay do cameras add drag to fight?
Yes but barely!
Kay, how much time do you have between minimum fuel and mayday fuel / fuel emergency?
30 to 45 minutes of flying time...
@Kay great channel I don’t comment much but could you do a Night Departure/Landing and probably with a Voice Over explain the Lights at airports for us non-pilots probably not confusing but for those who don’t understand them seems like a confusing mess of different color lights. 😱
Great awareness on the fuel. You definitely would not want to go further into your reserves especially given unreliable fuel gauge readings.
Is there an altitude where your engines are most efficient?
Love your videos Kay.
How exhausted are you by the end of a flight it seems like those controlers are constantly calling you.
What will be your next aircraft? I single turbo prop? Maybe a Lancair propjet.
A single engine turboprop is a massive jump in cost, going from around $350k to well over $2 million. Also the cost to rebuild a turbine is quite a bit more, probably $200k+ instead of around $50k or so.
A TBM or a Pilatus would be nice, but the price tag is prohibitive for most people who are not worth like 8 or 9 figures...
@redbaron6805 A used Lancair is around one million
still wonder why the oil streak on bottom of airplane. Love flying with you.
All is good! It wasn’t a leak but I did have it looked at when I got home from trip🥰
here is one for you. have you ever had to divert around an area due to FAA restricted air space do to Model Rockets? does that stuff show up on your gear?
When in New Mexico, go check out the Breaking Bad Tour!
I did actually!
Have you seen any of those drones out there? Thoughts?
now we know the answer to the drone sightings.....I didn't realize until now that it was Kay all along.
what! no cup holders?
I do have cup holders in this airplane. lol
🌟mooches gracious
I see a light streak under your fusalage, which kinda looks like a bit of oil?? Halifax Nova Scotia Canada
