Interesting twist with GPS signal interruptions. It brings up the issue of how easy it is to be totally reliant on the magenta line. At your altitude I think you would have been surprised how many VORs you could have actually received (even over Montana - look at the hi altitude enroute chart) and used if necessary. For situational awareness a good idea would have been to start tuning VORs once the GPS went out and ATC put you on headings. ATC easily could have amended your clearance to start using airways and it would have been easy to transition. We all take our old school navigation skills for granted. Keep up the great sharing!
Yes - I actually misspoke. VORs are readily available in the flight levels. I think there just wasn’t one that ATC thought was as convenient as a heading.
I would love to come and get more experience in your TBM 850 in any weather as well as being a professional pilot myself with just 30 hours of Single engine turbo prop hours but not in your type, seeing you on the next flight and I’ll be looking forward
Good evening To you sir and it’s great to see you all together and if I ever had a person who needed to have the experience and the professional pilot knowledge of a TBM - 850 and explaining the details is to get you to fly along side them in there TBM because I sure would sir :
I personally had an incident with GPS issues descending to Henderson in Las Vegas the ADSB was picking phantom aircraft near by. Traffic 5 o’clock one mile 2 o’clock , traffic Found out later that the FAA was contacting testing in the area.
Imagine being on an LPV approach to minimums when that happened. I’d rather have it be a plane problem, then I can fix it and know I can trust it then. I’ve lost GPS twice. Back to VORs and ILSs.
It’s because if there’s ice on the dome, there may be ice on the scoop, and if it breaks off and gets sucked into the turbine blades, it could damage them.
@@onetaco772 gotcha. Sounds like a pretty good reason. I only asked because we never had that restriction on the PC12 so I was just curious the reasoning. Thanks!
@@onetaco772 In a recent training flight i was shown how to do a RAIM check prior to every departure. I learned that this can be found on the Foreflight Nav Log (Performance Plus & Business Plans), or on the GTN750650 Utilities Page.
Hmm - not sure. Synthetic vision is on when I fly. I have had it off for VFR flights before when the database wasn’t working properly. You can see when I land, for example, that the runway is visible on the PFD
@@HugAviation It was off because the GPS was jammed and therefore no GPS fix. Synthetic vision based on GPS position and altitude, so it won't display it if it does not have an accurate fix.
another great video. it was nice to know about how the millitary uses jammers that affects the GPS and why they do that.
Nice flight, great touchdown on centerline.
Beautiful touch down
This is the dream. The strip at CB / Buckhorn next trip.
Well, now that you said it, I’ve gotta try. I’m a little worried about having to dig my plane out of a snow bank to fly home, though.

GPS out, on a heading, what happens with lost comm?
Love some more TBM content. Just found the channel. Hello from fellow aviator north of Seattle
Welcome PNW!
New Subscriber here. Love that plane!

Yep - very frustrating.
You could switch to VOR and bust out your trusty IFR enroute charts. No GPS or vectors needed
Yes - still not sure why they gave us vectors instead of a VOR
Imagine being on an LPV approach to minimums when that happened. I’d rather have it be a plane problem, then I can fix it and know I can trust it then. I’ve lost GPS twice. Back to VORs and ILSs.
Yep - not fun.
Work on those pre-start “flows”. It’s a CHECKLIST not a TO DO list.
Try it. Seems like you have enough experience to master it!
I will - thanks for the suggestion
Interesting that if the radar dome has ice you can’t turn the sep off. I wonder why that is.
It’s because if there’s ice on the dome, there may be ice on the scoop, and if it breaks off and gets sucked into the turbine blades, it could damage them.

I called one taco on freq. guess it didn't make the vid haha.
Cameras weren’t rolling! But it totally made my day. Thanks!
If he makes the money, he can buy the plane...
GPS issues are not issued via NOTAMS?
I didn’t see one. But I certainly could’ve missed it.

Good suggestion - will use. Thanks.
The TBM is a very capable plane despite being quite small in the interior! Also wanted to ask why you fly with the synthetic vision off?
Hmm - not sure. Synthetic vision is on when I fly. I have had it off for VFR flights before when the database wasn’t working properly. You can see when I land, for example, that the runway is visible on the PFD
I saw it off at 7:39 maybe you were playing around with it I guess?
@@HugAviation It was off because the GPS was jammed and therefore no GPS fix. Synthetic vision based on GPS position and altitude, so it won't display it if it does not have an accurate fix.
@@cleanlude Thanks for the clarification!
