Is there a fine line between confidence and arrogance? What this young fellow most needs to understand is humility.
I think they are making sure he gets humbled!
there is no room for arrogance in the cockpit.
The Buffalo SkyGods in the left seat would also benefit from a somewhat “normalised” attitude. What a way to “train” young pilots 👎🏻
Love this series - it's unfortunate that the narrator gets things so wrong sometimes, i.e. explaining cross-wind takeoffs.
Best captain to make Chris understand how serious the C46 is Jeff Schroeder.
I laughed when they were on final in the Electra and the pilot goes “what are all those red lights on the side of the runway!?!?!” 😂
It was sarcasm, showing the trainee that he was coming in badly.
Over the years theres been so many TV reality shows that were totally scripted and not that close to reality, but coming from somebody who worked for a 135 operation in Alaska throughout the 90's, this is about as real as it gets.
I completely agree. It’s why….I am so happy to find this series. It’s great but I white knuckle my chair a lot.
Awesome a new ice pilots
I love ur channel
Keep uploading
Was waiting for another ice pilotes episode❤
A great series that is closest to reality as I’ve seen. Joe would insist on it. He isn’t a fake guy.
Really like every episode….so pls uploading
Good episode . . .
Where is cocky Chris today?
This was filmed 9 years ago as I was there when this one was filmed & no one from Buffalo 🦬 Airways wanted to work their as they said Micky is up himself & thinks he is a rock star
Dad's favorite.
Wtf, the young rookie just throw the brom directly on to a new skidoo 🤦 Guess the new owner will bee proud with a ding and scrapes in his new skidoo 🙈
The hallmark of a lousy instructor is his default first reaction being to yell “what the hell are you doing?” at the trainee. Makes for lousy and useless instruction. The next one I’ve heard here more than once is “Don’t touch anything!” Then watch the trainee disconnect and turn away and just look out the window. CRM? Not a thing at Buffalo.
The only saving grace is that he’s not paying money out of pocket for that lousy level of instruction.
Just a lousy show from top to bottom, starting with the dysfunctional family. Arrogant old man, useless son, etc. just can’t watch anymore.
Isn’t the first thing on the checklist the condition of the pilot? Graham should not be flying an airplane when he is so physically exhausted that he couldn’t keep his eyes open. That is an important thing to understand. I understand that the culture of Buffalo is to expect their pilots to push themselves to the limit, but this seems unwise to be flying physically and emotionally spent.
Anyway, I wish all those young and aspiring pilots well in their flight experiences with Buffalo Airways.✈️
You're right first thing before any Checklist is performed is are the flight crew is oke. Sleep/Mentaly/Physicly if not then you need to called in and the Airline looks for another Captain Co-Pilot etc...in worse cased happend time - time flights were even cancelled.
Agreed that's pretty much common sense. Crews can only fly so many hours before mandatory rest so having him work 13 hours then fly was plumb wrong. He probably was the only one who knew, although TBH why would they assume he had the day off -?
@@rdlawrence1473 Well i like the Ice Pilots Episode, but they're not very well organized, so i only can assume that they just didn't know or just forget that he worked before.
This is very typical in the North. From airlines to mining. You work or you go home.
@@thatguycarmine1 Also very typical of the North - airplane crashes. lol
If I were captain, I would call out that confidence as a mistake in itself. Smart guys can get to thinking they know everything cause they understand the theory of it. But there is an ocean of details between theory and actually making sure you don't crash and kill everybody. Even the culture- you have to use all the same words and abbreviations as everyone else, or crew communications become a farce. You have to know in your body what to do and how early and how much. You need to know the look and feel of a proper approach in THIS plane, loaded THIS much. You need to be able to read a dozen gauges, and envision from that just what your near future is. And the answer is a little different in each situation.
No, the last thing you want is confidence.
Confidence but only when placed well, not complacency borne of limited experience.
These airplaaaaaaaaaannnessssss
Hey ho let's go!
As a forever ground guy, who's been through Commerical Ground school. And 70hrs of flight training.... I HATE cocky pilots... Literally I have the urge to just ruin their day.
Honestly though, Graham should not have been flying.
the mechanics should have a tent in front of the engine they are working on after the engine is in place. heat the tent with a frostbiter.
If these boys would learn to fly in a Cub off of a grass strip with a brown bag taped over their instruments they could fly anything. Fly the plane!
Can you please please bring the Electra plane Joe bough from Coventry in England we never saw it reach at Buffalo and When Joe was stuck in Iceland for refueling
That was last week's episode. We saw it arrive
"I love the smell of AVGAS in the morning" mmmmmmmmm
Bust the rookie’s egoless.
TOP SERIES !!
A slightly bullying teaching style for the young copilot to cope with when trying to learn, must have been really motivating and confidence building.
That Young Pilot needed to be brought down a peg or Two He was too cocky & arrogant & the "PROPER PILOT" instructed him the right way.
All of their "training captains" would get kicked out of any reputable airline's training department almost instantly for talking to the candidates like that, if Transport Canada didn't speak up about it first.
I wonder what their mean time is between c-46 engine changes? It seems to be like a week?
I thought I heard them mention 1500 hours on a rebuild.
@@rdlawrence1473 That sounds like the optimistic engine life, assuming everything is tickety-boo: Oil changes every XX hours. Screens and filters regularly checked. All the proper engine rules followed: No flooding, three blades before ignition turned on, hand-turning first, proper oil dilution done when shutting down the engines, oil temperatures both min and max carefully obeyed, oil cooler shutters adjusted before excessively low temperatures, unsludged oil coolers, limitation on engine heating and cooling rates, head temps not too low or too high, manifold pressure within prescribed limits, no detonation, takeoff power for no more than the defined X minutes, and all periodic engine maintenance done by the book and by the clock. I suspect under their difficult scheduling and temperature conditions a few of those steps get a bit abridged or are impossible to follow religiously. There are also some motivational issues, as they know they're mostly carrying soda pop and beer and potato chips at government-subsidized rates using marginal equipment. , with a boss that is a bit of a grump. One doesn't put out 110% under those conditions.
@@georgegonzalez2476 Agreed; they seem like the kind of outfit that's taking off overloaded and getting into "war emergency power" too often. Not to mention not keeping hydraulic systems flushed, cleaned, and equipped with clean filters. The blue tails at the exhaust tips suggest fuel atomization in 1930s carburetors was not too good. That's going to strip oil off the compression ring. I wonder if they are allowed too install modern carbs and electronic ignition.
@@rdlawrence1473 If the rules are like the USA ones, they're not allowed to change ANYTHING. Changes usually require a STC, a complex approval process that is lengthy and expensive. So they probably can't use the very helpful synthetic oils that don't get too thick at -40. But you'd think it would be okay to add exhaust gas analyzers and that would help on controlling the lean/rich problem.
@@georgegonzalez2476 I think changes could be made but Buffalo and a handful of others would be the only takers, whereas if you develop glass cockpits that can be retrofit into more popular planes then it's a go. I think you can get electronic ignition for mags and it's allowed on one mag but not both. The carb would need a redesign, perhaps one day these pilots will wake up to the benefits. The R-2800 used in the C-46 was a popular engine in the day and was used in the Constellation also. I don't know how many others are still flying.
all happy until it breaks down in mid air
I'm, too
I am not sure why any pilot would want to start as a ramphand to get to being a pilot when he/she could just go for the goal of being a pilot somewhere. Unless they are not qualified to be a commercial pilot and they are working their way up.
It's called crabbing ya hear
he needs to buy the right size gloves
How do I rid of this beggars fundraiser banner “you can say no, but we won’t leave “
is that wekweeti?
Beats me how the Canadian authorities grant commercial pilot licenses. Here in Australia it takes two years and up to 200 hours in type aircraft to get a commercial license. That does not include simulator training. Doing it part time takes much longer.
It’s a bigger hour requirement in Canada 250 hrs for commercial.
That yellow-eyed Mike has a bad attitude about pilots. Probably jealousy. I will not understand why anyone would want to fly those old pieces of junk. I flew old fire-bombers as a co-pilot one year and averaged a major problem every 10 flight hours. Glad to get the hell out of that type of job. For those guys in Canada it must be the ultra-high pay.
roses are red
violets are blue
when wonder uploads
you know that its good
old news
Must be really fun getting trained to fly a plane while walking on egg shells because of the pilot.
No thanks to the pilots at the green colored company that have NO professionalism whatsoever.
and so the scripted, rehearsed dramatics continue on this 'show'This episode is @ 10 years old ??
This show is the biggest pile of bullshi#.
The culture of Buffalo is totally inept, and quite frankly, it's a company that deserves to be fined out of business. They have a terrible safety record, and working a pilot for 13 hours, then putting him in the cockpit when he can't even keep his eyes open is just one of the reasons why.
How is your company bozo!
Baby
Where is you airline bozo!
