I've been flying since I was 16 and at age 19 flew around the world by myself in the same 1981 A36 Beechcraft Bonanza I still fly, becoming the youngest person ever to solo circumnavigate by aircraft.
Now, I'm sharing all kinds of aviation adventures with YOU! Ride along as we explore the world from the air and get a close up look at some of aviation's best flight experiences and destinations.

3 young men doing the Charles Lindbergh in a modern single piston engine production aircraft, an adventure of a lifetime,you boys are awesome!
Well, "modern". Charles Lindbergh was alive long after this plane was designed. General aviation is incredibly stagnant. The first version of Matt's Bonanza is from 1945. And it gets really bizarre when you consider they are still making it and it costs 1 million dollars.
Clearly twin engine!
@@DanFrederiksen WOW ....... thats amazing, thanks so much for sharing that info, I love little factoids like that :)
@@DanFrederiksen They are not 1 million. That is a rip off.
@@DanFrederiksen N210EU is considerably more modern than the Spirit of St Louis and yes the Bonanza is the longest continuously produced aircraft in GA. The 1945 Bonanza and the $1mil model have little in common other that they are both use combustion engines. It’s well documented that GA is far behind automotive and other industries kind of misleading. The certification process for airplanes is much stricter than automotive. Many a bad car design has been made over the past 60 years. They have a recall and don’t sell many. With GA you get a bad design certified it fails and kills people. You can say the same about commercial aviation. The jet engine hasn’t changed much in overall design or technology in the same time. Yet they are much more reliable and efficient than ever. Hopefully the EV wave coming in automotive will push the development of better batteries and find its way into GA. Until then fly safe
really loving the dual prospectives we are seeing on this trip. Louis' videos are great and all for the human and cultural insights and yours for the technical and navigation. Just perfect. Wish you were along for the whole trip!
"We havent flown through any moisture of any kind" says cowboy copilot while flying through fog clouds
Between the aviation related content, the travel interests, the drone footage, the otherwise forgotten part of our planet, etc.I've literally been staring at the screen for 10min trying to find the correct words to express how amazing this video is! But there aren't any, so please let me just say a heartfelt 'thank you'. As others have mentioned this video could win an award in almost every category I can think of.
Guffmiller is a complete hack, probably everything in this video setup and fake to get views and likes, living off daddy's money and the insurance fraud he committed with two other people in a false ditching of a perfectly functioning aircraft in the Pacific ocean not long ago. Dude is a complete shyster and belongs in prison.
@@badmonkey2222 why are you so mad that you decided to come up with a bunch of lies 😭

Now this is what a world flight video should look like
Great to see these wonderful places. When I was a kid I bought all the ONC charts from New York to Scotland, dreaming of doing a flight like this one day. Million-scale charts with "hut" and "shack" marked on them, because way up in the north of Greenland there was nothing else. It's lovely at least to live the dream through someone else. Great work.
I've been watching your videos regardless of the title.
I watch these videos because it brings back memories of my own long CC flights in past years.
I did film some of those flights but the camera I used only recorded on a physical tape, (no digital recording at that time).
I've never flown across the ocean so it's a real treat for me in that regard.
I still fly regularly but mostly to destinations of no more than a couple of hours or so away.
I was especially interested in this video because I wanted to see how you guys handled a "Complete Avionics Failure".
When I started out in 1987 there were no iPads, no Foreflight, no GPS or MFDs (Glass Cockpits), it was all done by Radio NavAids like VORs, NDBs, ILS Aproaches and of course Vectors from Control Centers like Washington Center, Atlanta Center, etc. (for IMC anyway), back then there was no such thing as RNAV or VNAV.
I was expecting to see some "Back to basics" backup Nav and Comms being used (stuff that every pilot should be proficient at) but at best, this was nothing more than a very minor "Partial Nav Failure" due to a frozen pitot tube.
PIC states: "I have turned on Pitot Heat just in case but I doubt that's it" Really?? One look at the airspeed indicator would have confirmed that it "Was" the problem as indicated by the MFD.
Be advised, "ANYTIME" the OAT is below freezing, there's always a chance for pitot icing even in seemingly dry conditions, there are "Always" small areas of moisture out there.
I noticed that you guys were at an altitude where the OAT was -1°C or -30°F with a standard QNH of 1013 mB, those low temps alone are enough to warrant running pitot heat all the time.
You should have said that it was a "MFD Failure" instead of what you did title it as. You did still have comms and GPS as well as Foreflight on your iPads.
I always carry a backup handheld transceiver that also has the ability to provide a relative bearing to whatever VOR I have it tuned to, I always connect the handheld radio to an external antenna so I can have as much radio range as possible and on one occasion I did need my backup radio because of extreme engine noise in the comms panel, apparently a noise filter/capacitor from the ignition system failed because of a faulty ground connection, all I could hear was the engine in my headset.
My handheld radio has a port to connect my headset which is the only way I can hear ATC and/or Morse Code identifiers for VORs (depending on how loud the cockpit is and yes, I know VORs and NDBs are being phased out).
My comms failure happened while flying in Class B airspace on a busy day so I was especially glad that I had prepared for that situation.
As soon as I experienced comms failure I changed my squawk code to 7600 (letting ATC know that I had a comms failure), then as soon as I connected my headset to the handheld radio I was able to reestablish comms again, then I was instructed to resume my original squawk code.
These days whenever I plan a flight, I do 2 plans, 1 using GPS waypoints, RNAV, VNAV, etc. and the other plan using VORs, NDBs, ILS approaches (where still available) and other old school ways of navigation. So far I haven't needed the backup plan but until they do away with VORs and NDBs, I'll continue to do backup flight plans.
"Let's get this on camera cause this is fun"? Is filming it more important than troubleshooting first? Hmmmm.
I watched a documentary about a guy that wanted more than anything to be a photojournalist during Vietnam, he got his wish but he didn't last more than a couple of weeks in the field before photographing the very enemy soldier that killed him. :-O
Scanning the instruments and gauges is all too often done without actually "Reading" them.
It's the same with scanning the for traffic, so many times the pilot will do the visual scan but never actually "Look" for movement. I've seen other pilots that I flew with do a scan for traffic but failed to actually "Look" at one area long enough to "See" movement of other aircraft. On one flight in particular, the PIC failed to see 2 aircraft and it was a direct result of not actually "Looking" but I did see them, when I asked the PIC if he saw them, he replied "No" and that was very alarming to me.
At 10:54 or so into your video, the airspeed started dropping rapidly to "0", then at 11:29 you turn on the pitot heat but you never bothered to check the airspeed indicator which is the first gauge to look at to troubleshoot a problem with the pitot-static system, the airspeed indicator is the only instrument that uses ram air but remember that the airspeed indicator can read very low even if the pitot tube is clear, that can be the case if the static port is blocked.
The fact that the airspeed dropped so quickly indicates a blocked pitot tube since a blocked static port would result in a very slow change but you would have to be monitoring it over time to tell which part of the system is failing.
At 11:39 the Aspen MFD indicates a problem with the pitot system but still nobody checked the airspeed indicator (it was still registering "0" at that time).
It wasn't until 12:11 that you guys looked at the airspeed indicator, by then it was back up to an indicated 80 knots but you didn't realize at the time that it had been at "0" for close to 45 seconds.
The reason the Aspen MFD will not work if there is a problem with the pitot static system or other sensors like AHRS is to prevent incorrect information from being displayed and to alert the pilot of a problem other than the MFD, the Aspen did what it was designed to do when it indicated "Check Pitot Heat".
This is the very reason that IFR certified aircraft have backup NAV and Essential Flight Instruments. The MFD shutting down basically all information is there to prevent the pilot from relying on bad information by forcing he or she to use the backup systems until they can resolve the issue that caused the shutdown.
A complete study and full understanding of how the MFD works should have been committed to memory or at least a written set of notes prior to taking the trip.
It looks like you have a Garmin GTN 650 which does have it's own CDI (kinda cheesy but still it is a backup CDI), the one I use is connected to an external steam gauge style CDI that provides what I need for a localizer as well as glide slope for ILS approaches (this is used as a backup in case I lose the Primary CDI in the MFD), even without the external steam gauge style CDI, it still has a built-in CDI in the form of a horizontal bar at the bottom of the touch screen with a triangle for current aircraft position in relation to the programmed course, it works pretty well as long as I have a good GPS fix.
Please correct me if I'm wrong about the GTN 650 that you are using. I just know that the one I use does have it as a standard function as long as there is a valid GPS fix.
Sorry for pointing out so much stuff but I've been flying for 31 years with several emergency situations under my belt and fortunately not one of them put me in the dirt yet.
I can't help but feel that knowing my equipment inside out is what helped to make it possible for me to survive this long.
Good luck guys and please be safe!!
Awesome videos BTW!!!
Treetop, if I ever get the nerve I would want to learn with someone like you.
I am an Avionics Technician from the U.S Air Force and I have been on many flights around the world but these guys utterly impressed me with there flight skills "Awesome Fellas"
And they're back!!!!! Pure epicness!!!!
DUB FRED p
I like the work you put into the captions.
All the credit there goes to my girlfriend Rachel!
Matt, check 'Rev' out. It's 100% accurate and they take about 24hrs to do. 1$ a minute. Super cheap compared to Rachel....plus she won't hate you for it!
Mate, I'm a sub to this channel and not spamming - that would get rid of my verification on my channel. Just from one RUclipsr to another, trying to help someone out. I used to caption all my own, then reinvested some of the ad revenue into outsourcing it, which freed up time for me to make better videos. Sorry if you thought I was spamming....🙄
Thanks yeah I'll definitely check them out. My concern with any of those caption services is that oftentimes the content is both so technical and in most of this video hard to hear as well, but at $1/minute I can't really not try it!
Please thank Rachel from random-dude-on-the-internet who has trouble understanding people's voices on the radio! But seriously, accurate captions raise this from an already phenomenal youtube video to a truly broadcast-worthy production. Bravo!
Probably the best edited video I've seen in a while. That scenery is just amazing. You guys are so fortunate to do what you do, in the way that you do it. Keep up the good work!
love the series, keep it going! This is real content!
At 70 years old and a former private pilot I can see the problem here having lived in the Canadian artic. This whole problem would not have happened if a proper pre_ flight was done via the check list that every aircraft comes with. On that list would have been some indication to "Turn on Pitot heat , or "Pitot heat on". An important part of the check list in the northern latitudes of Canada or Alaska.
John Malone Class act.
I don't know about you Earl.. but I wasn't there during the pre-flight .. and I doubt you were either. Cycling the pitot heat would only prove it worked.. but when it went off.. the freezing could happen.. as it did. A bunch of us are pilots.. and we wouldn't dream of second guessing these pilots.
@@captlarry-3525 , to all the arm chair QB'S, I don't remember them saying it was ice, I've actually had a bug hit my tube and blocked it for several minutes until the wind dislodged it. Its awful easy to set on your couch and say what you would or wouldn't do.😎
When its not your ass ,flying in the middle of nowhere over water.
The pitot can still block even if there's no visible moisture when the temperature is below 10C and the relative humidity is high.
To Matt Guthmiller, these videos of your journey prove more than anything else, there is no substitute for being there. These are memories that will stay with you for a lifetime. Oh to be young again and do something like this! Godspeed to you and looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip.
I love your work on these videos. The aviation, the destinations, and the "issues" during the flight. As mentioned previously, award worthy!
I noticed 11:05 the IAS going towards 0, then JP says: "I have turned on the pitot heat, just in case..."
I thought, well, perfect timing to do so XD
Single engine over water, mysterious icing in the pitot causing avionics failure -- why not fly at night and make it a trifecta?
Seriously, well done video, and quite the adventure.
They should have waited for a storm, and do it up right.
Quietly pulls pitot heater CB
“It’ll be a cold day in hell before I let twins fly long haul, overwater routes.” Lol Lyn Helms you thought😂
I wouldn't have the guts even with a full Instrument/Night Rating !
Being a PPL/A pilot, this is very inspiring to watch! Thank you for sharing your adventure with us!
Audun : Do your Instrument Rating as that's when the real fun starts and brown skid marks !
Beyond just an aviation blog. Excellent story told through this. Edits and camera shots are perfect.
Very cool video, interesting lesson on the aspen/pitot.
This is an excellent adventure video. It should be put on The Discovery Channel, really.
No, it should actually be thrown in the trash, ol' Guffie is a complete hack job and everything in this video is probably fake and setup for views and likes, living off daddy's money and the insurance fraud he committed with a guy and his girlfriend in a perfectly functioning aircraft into the Pacific ocean not long ago, not 8 hours after the "accident" Guffmiller had onboard footage of the ditching already rendered, uploaded, and on RUclips and record time, hell it takes most of us a whole day to complete that much work, the guy is a complete shyster and needs to be in prison along with his ditching buddies.
This is some of the best content on RUclips IMO...Thanks for sharing... Blessings.
Greatest video from a non-career pilot of all time! The amount of footage and editing that goes into this must be insane! Lastly, I don't understand how someone dislikes a video like this. Great work Matt!
I like hearing the engine track in the background.
You literally need more than 1Million subs you deserve it bro, love the channel, I hope you get what you deserve nice job keep going ✌️
Thanks Matt, I know of the time and effort involved in the editing of this. Your account of this trip is very well done indeed. Having sailed to Spitsbergen in a sail boat it is an experience that is difficult to explain if one has not seen this for ones self. I used to fly a 177 Cardinal way back in the '80 too.
Thanks again.
Loved this! I initially started watching a few minutes of it because of the title and a morbid curiosity but, quickly felt like I was a passenger. Thanks for the ride! Very good production quality and I love how you integrate not only the flight but the travel information for Nuuk. Not to mention, the incredible shots. I look forward to watching more.
Aspen really needs to look into that. That’s very dangerous.
Oh man, this is so fun! I'd love to have an adventure like this.
And have to wear those suits?
Truly one of your finest videos to date. A spectacular display of flying, but an even more beautiful account of a wonderful culture that so few people will ever get to enjoy in person. Incredibly respectful and a wonderful display of how aviation can bring people together.
Fantastic video and the beauty of Greenland was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed it!! 😀
Hey guys! Greetings from Latvia. I just discovered your channel and I've gotts admit there is a degree of jealousy- epic epic adventure, and the videos are extremely well made, narrated and the content of course is super interesting. Had a lot of fun watching all this and will definitely continue to follow. Safe flights and CAVOK along the way.
That is soooo freaking cool. I hope you get a chance to stop in Iceland and check it out as well, before you hit mainland Europe. Fantastic stuff. Great editing, and you guy's are just so chill as a team.
might be bit late they are in new zealand now :P
Duh... That's one heck of a delay. Thanks Robert.
Absolutely amazing video . Thank you!!!. Congratulations
I love when you take us on a tour of the destination. So Cool!! It's as if we get to be there with you.I especially love the restaurants and the food (cuz I'm always hungry). Thanks.
Just to point out: You can always land in BGSF, Sondre Strom(Søndre Strømfjord). Its dry inland climate.
Who's the guy in the back, is he Rollin you joints? Lol
Crip Skillz this comment made my life 😂
It was great LOL
bruh, lmao the way he's always sitting too.
The two in the front are rich little babies. The one in the back is a hipster douche bag
Apparently he’s just a vlogger along for the ride. He’s funding it.
I'm am just in awe of the views. I have crossed the Atlantic many times in our jet at work but man those views are breathtaking.
Bravo Matt.
That drone footage is stunning.
This video is great because it doesn't just show flying, but it shows at the end the reason we fly, all of the wonderful things you discover along the way.
At 10:55 you can see the airspeed dropping and the problems start to develop.
Good find!
Funny, I was watching A/S drop as well and was actually saying out loud, "Airspeed, guys, airspeed!" I figure they must have flown through some precip that didn't make the video. You can see the ASI pegged at 0 the whole time they're troubleshooting. Much easier to Monday Morning QB when you're not zipped into a dry suit at 9k over the North Atlantic! Great job overall by these guys.
That is very freaky to watch it dropping!
By 11:18 it is 0 knots!
And the HSI goes nuts as well with an indicated nose up.
It almost makes me imagine I am flying across Canada in a VW van - but stuffed with more electronics than a hackers dream...
Wonderful video Matt. A trip of a lifetime. Thanks so much for sharing.
I'm really digging your vlogs from the trip! Really fun to watch! Keep 'em coming Matt!
Amazing Video! I have a request, could you make a video on how to plan an international trip with a small plane? Like, what legal things need to be done or how does immigration work on those small airports... That'd be really cool!
I'm sure he can make a video on how to set up a false ditching and commit insurance fraud like he was complicit in with another guy and his girlfriend not long ago, this guy is a total shyster.
@@badmonkey2222 can you elaborate?
is that fuel running through those lines on the floor? with single hose-clamps? ru fucking nuts?
The drama of the frozen pitot, then a little local flavor, love the scenes of your sustenance, always the adventure continues and we love you Matt, in Ok!
I like seeing this side of Louis/JP's videos. I enjoy the more technical side of things. Great work.
Whoa, that was interesting, you guys kept your cool quite nicely, kudos for that. I had exactly ONE instrument failure in some 30-odd years of flying. That was before all airplanes had GPS, we had only the plain vanilla VOR+ADF setup. Something went south with the Piper Archer II's power supply to the avionics, and I lost all NAVs, all COMs and all ADFs, while IMC over mountains. As luck would have it, I was trying out a buddy's portable NAV-COM to see what kind of range it had (answer: pretty much the same as the airplane's radios). With only the portable radio working, ATC vectored me down to a VFR-open field and I landed. Of course I bought myself a portable NAV-COM that same week and never, ever flew without it since. And never had another instrument failure, either. Incidentally, that exact airplane was destroyed a few weeks later (nobody was hurt) on the ground, just after landing, by fire triggered by a short-circuit behind the instrument panel. When I learned about the incident, I realized I had been even luckier than I thought on that flight. On-board fire, not to mention no radios and IMC, would have been really nasty.
Louis has a lot of room to grow as a documentary film maker. I think his approach has depended more on his charm than his inquisitiveness and desire shed light on so many interesting aspects of the adventure including the challenge of piloting. So let’s help him out and suggest ideas. I think we don’t see a lot of late night editing.
Matt, another superb job of photography and drone shots. Enjoying the avionic talk, not understanding it, but learning more each time. Makes me appreciate pilots and their scope of knowledge. Very impressed, thanks for sharing your travels.
I could not do this...I'd wind up having to take a urgent dump 1 hour in.
You can open the window - there is nobody down there to complain.
Agent Smith freeze your arse off though.
I would not want to fly across the ocean in a single-engine plane of any kind. I will stay close to the ground and travel by car, bus or passenger train.
Astronauts wear diapers.
Are you guys planning to route via shanwick (eggx) after Reykjavik . Happy to give you guys a service (shanwick controller) epic vids keep em coming!
www.flybeyondborders.com/track Unfortunately this video is quite old...
Matt only joined them for part of the trip, and JP and Louis are actually in Auckland at the moment..Nearing the end!
Can you say that to other men?
You do have good CC. I appreciate that. Thank you. I learned a lot from these videos and I'm really enjoying them.
I accidentally came across this video. It was in my suggested videos. I thoroughly enjoyed the entire video. Well done on everything, shooting, sound, and editing. I will be subscribing.
Just curious, did the overall mic gain going to the device recording audio accidently get turned way up?
That food looks amazing. In Greenland?
Who'da thunk?
Amazing! I am just speechless! Great Work, amazing landscapes and pictures. Moooooore, please
WOW! Very Nicely compiled video!! I must say that this has been one of the best RUclips videos that I've seen in a long time! Great work and thumbs way up on this one!
Louis doesn't have one ounce of curiosity about the aircraft/navigating from point A to B...he's just along for the ride.
What to expect from a Guy who went to North Korea and says everythings peachy ;)
Matt and JP are trying to get the failed instruments back up and Louis is taking a nap in the backseat. I love Louis he is so chill.
mbcris avionics fail= meh we’re fine lol 😎
True. But he is doing all the documenting. And if they end up hanging from a cliff his hair might be able to hold them until help arrives.
I wish he would be more inquisitive
He seemed always ignorant to me.
I am disappointed in the title. On another video, I would call it 'click bait.' No, you DIDN'T have a total avionics failure. You DID have a failure of your primary flight displays, but you still had attitude, airspeed and altitude, and you could have continued on to your destination (provided it remained VFR) on the GPS data alone.
The fact that you were able to reboot the system indicated that it wasn't a 'failure' so much as a 'problem' that was resolved. Now, I don't mind watching your videos, they're fun and entertaining, but I really expect stuff to be 'serious' when describing the video.
they didn't have airspeed so that definitely wouldn't have been fun, but I get what you're saying
Ryan, you're correct, they didn't have airspeed, but they DID have ground speed, from the GPS. An airplane can be flown from power settings to give you an approximate airspeed.
Gary C The Guy knows what's he doing, so to come along, & be so matter of fact, just to try & prove a point or something!! Would you do what he did, nah...
Kevin, you missed my point then. I didn't say he didn't know what he was doing, I didn't say he wasn't a good pilot, I simply said his title to the video was misleading.
...and 74k views later....click bait ...accomplished.
This is one of the most dope series I've watched. Great stuff! I had no clue this was even possible in a plane that small
Just had to subscribe! Thx 4 renewing faith in our younger adults.. Travel in U.S. Navy 40 years back still reverberates fond images, valuable insights. Now, go pro & drone via RUclips; (thankyou), can bring such richness to all. Grand work guys, great quest!
Matt, did you talk to Aspen about the dual AHRS failure? Each display has an independent AHRS. From Aspen..."Redundant Solid-State Attitude Heading Reference Systems with Independent Gyro, Accelerometer and Magnetic Sensors. Redundant Air Data Computers with Independent Airspeed & Altitude Pressure Transducers". FWIW, there's a menu option in the Aspen to reset the AHRS only. I have the same Aspen 2000 system in my V tail. Love it...but that kind of a failure over water would get the adrenaline going.
It turns out the older model just requires an airspeed input to work at all. The newer ones fail only the attitude if they lose airspeed and don't have GPS, but the older ones ignore GPS and just fail the entire unit.
So I just decided against an Aspen based on this! Wow. Icing and imc are the times u need that display to work! Hope u share this w Aspen because I’m going to share it w everyone I meet that has this unit.
@Scott Major - I've been flying behind the Aspen 2000 since 2011 and have never experienced one problem.
Testing out the behavior of the software with malfunctioning sensors, specifically one that could systematically fail under icy conditions, should be part of the QC before an instrument hits the market. I am really surprised to see that happen. There should be a big warning that the instruments information is not entirely to be trusted while showing which sensor is causing the problem. Shutting down without any helpful remarks is really the worst response. Glad you guys figured it out and a reboot with heated tube worked.
Since most users and the manufacturer seems to know about the issue, why don't they release a software update and the subject is off the table?! I am not a pilot and have no experience with this navigation system but can't you just update that with an SD card?
By the way - wonderful video - your skills in capturing situations and the way you use the drone is just amazing - love it. You could definitely also make a living in the movie business :-) but aviation is by far cooler, so stick with it!
+mbcris glad to hear it. Hope that keeps up.
So much more aviation footage compared to Louie’s vlogs. So sick!
BIN3RY, that is because Matt is a pilot and will know is advance what his content will be focused on.
Louie's videos aren't aimed at an aviation audience. Matt's videos are.
Just wonder how much of Louis' current viewers are there for the aviation. I know I was. So nice to get less 'adulterated' fly boy stuff through Matt. Well done Matt!
I am one of those Louis viewers who is watching his channel purely for the aviation content. Matt's fly boy stuff is great for aviation buffs.
Insane landscapes, really enjoyed this vlog thx for sharing :)
I didn't want this video to end. Excellent production quality. I need more!
8:15 Air Canada 015 polar route YYZ-HKG, flown that flight many times
Robert Wigle I couldn’t believe that an airline flight from Toronto to Hong Kong could possibly fly anywhere near within radio range of their flight until I put a recently filed flight plan into ForeFlight and sure enough it goes right over Iqaluit! Absolutely amazing! I’ve been flying 46 years now and I just learned something new today!
Love the drone shots! What kind of drone is it?
Dji Mavic drone
The story in your videos of you flying around the world has quickly become my favorite thing to watch.
Once again Matt - "Oh the Avionics are out - Gee that's exciting, finally some excitement" - really that's what you have to say. Great video - appreciate all the effort you put into this, it's not wasted on me.
AI and HI should not be failing just because airspeed goes to zero (I know you know that). It was interesting that the AI pitched up as the airspeed was rolling back. I had tweeted Aspen about this back when the video was on Louis' channel. It'd be nice to know what they think was going on. Have you reached out to them about this?
This is inherent to the Aspen's functionality unfortunately - as long as IAS and altitude are constant and the wings are level, it assumes 'straight and level' - I think the pitch up observed is the Aspen incorrectly assuming a climb and thus a positive pitch... At this point the Evolution should switch to GPS GS to correct its AHRS and just show "ATTITUDE DEGRADED", curious why that didn't work as advertised. For some reason it couldn't get the GPS based groundspeed, so then it blanked completely.
Clearly one of the best video on U-Tube, worthy of an award.
George Kraus yeah, it’s so exhilarating!
Not to paint the vid or the guys in any shade of bad, bit you haven't seen a lot of youtube videos then...
And instantly he gets shat on, you guys are a disappointment.
V12TT hey
NGC1433 just let him have his opinion mate
I'm really loving these vlogs over the North Atlantic Matt! I hope to do some cool flights sometime with my other friends once we get to this point in our flying carriers. You definitely do some amazing things!
I'm officially adding something like this to my bucket list thanks to you guys. This looked incredibly beautiful!
complete avionics failure over ocean. one guy: "lets film this, this is fun"
0:59 was that the pee bag LOL
Awesome again Matt. Great job. Thank you.
What an adventure you guys are doing! Fantastic! This is something I definitively am going to do in my lifetime! Congrats and please keep posting more vids from the trip ...
Max Schrappe take me with you... ;)
The avionics problem reminded me of the scene from the movie Apollo 13, where astronaut Jim Lovell (played by Tom Hanks) is doing an interview before launch and he is asked about emergencies in flight, and Lovell stated that he had dealt with many in flight emergencies and that they all had a way of working out. He then described a scary one when he was flying a Banshee fighter jet at night over the Sea of Japan on his way back to the carrier to land......he reached over to turn on his map light when the entire cockpit shorted out putting him entirely in the dark and unable to read his instruments.....wondering how he would be able to find the carrier he descended and due to the darkness in his cockpit (from everything having shorted out) he was able to see the luminescent wake of the carrier in the dark and just followed it until he picked up the carrier lights......
The one who has the yellow plane
The Aspens should have a separate switch each, near the Avionics Master, to reboot. Turning the whole Avionics bus off in flight, probably not the best decision, in hindsight.
Fabulous photography, loved it!
I tell you what, it is a really cool thing seeing two guys your age flying like complete and total professionals. Very well done, gentlemen.
Hi guys. Cool vid. Just a bit of info on immersion suits (used o fly Super Pumas to the rigs in Scotland) : if you do not wear your suits completely, I can guarantee you WILL NOT be able to suit up in time in case of a ditching. Please please please always fully wear the suits. I know they are uncomfortable, but they WILL make the difference between life and death. Please wear them fully closed next time,... please!
Honestly I don't think it would really matter. In North Atlantic waters, even IF they stayed dry in their immersion suits, they're only good for 6 hrs. 6 hrs is enough time to get plucked out of the water by heli, but they'd already be dead by the time a boat go to them, and the VAST majority of their flight is beyond heli range from either side of the pond. So wear them or don't wear them, doesn't matter -- if they need to ditch, they're dead.
The worse thing you can do when the odds are against you is reduce them even further! I heard of a fisherman surviving for 3 days/2 nights of the coast of Aberdeen. If you can increase your risk of survival, you DO IT. BTW, I'm not flying with you,... regards, Fred
Yeah I get that logic, but personally I wouldn't be caught dead more than 30 minutes from shore in a single-engine plane -- the risk level is too high for me personally, suit or no suit. Those suits are brutal though. I've worn them doing offshore survey flying (in a twin)... we wore them rolled down to our waist, cause you can't fly an airplane with them fully suited up. 15 minutes in and you're sweating your bag off even with the suits only up to your waist, lol.
I've worn them for 4 years flying helicopters to oil rigs. They need to fit right. And it is a bit of a black art to know how much to wear under them.
I'm assuming we're both talking about the same suit: www.google.ca/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjniNqYn5zXAhUD5oMKHZTmAvkQjRwIBw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.lalizas.com%2Fproduct%2F8-immersion-suits%2F2822-immersion-suit-insulated-neptune&psig=AOvVaw3WJnfq_Xd70H1ul687NWPo&ust=1509586797620649
How do you manage to flip any switches or turn any radio knobs with those mitts on?
I love how you subtitled the ATC, im currently learning so it really helps . nice video!
That was simply some of the best photography I have ever seen, and good editing too. the flight was awesome as well. Should market it to a travel agency!!!!!
why only 10deg of flap?
Wind maybe? Idk, some planes have a higher crosswind component with less flaps. Although it didn't seem like they were fighting it that much.
Please remove the click-bait title. It diminishes the credibility of your channel. You didn't experience total avionics failure. You lost PFD momentarily while rebooting. You still had attitude, altitude, and some indication of airspeed. You could have continued VFR to destination.
Avionics are what turn on when the Avionics Master switched is flipped. They are also what turn off when you flip that switch off, killing the GPS, intercom and radios too. If there was a pullable circuit breaker, that would've been the better choice to reboot the PFD/MFD(AHRS). So there was a self-induced total avionics failure. Airspeed, altitude & attitude are not Avionics.
could you stop criticizing them they are trying to make decent money
They are trying to sell sensation. Matt is a piece of work
@@duckyarcade3689
that could be true But the one thing that will drop a show is click bate
@@duckyarcade3689 Haha :-). So is everyone who tries the old click-bait route. Well decent as in considerable, not decent as in moral :-)
Nice to get the details about the avionics failure! And the edits were amazing, I especially loved that you finished this with the northern lights :)
Well planned and executed! Thanks for the video.
Why isn’t Matt on the trip anymore
J P asked Matt to join them for this part of the trip because J P wanted another pilot with him to cross this more dangerous part of trip. I do miss Matt being there. I have so enjoyed the technical part of his perspective. Glad Matt was there to help with the instrument failure.
They threw him out the window.
Experienced pilots say ALWAYS keep the Pitot heat ON!! Not sure if you guys agree.
not necessarily, otherwise why have a switch. Electrical loads should be minimised, they ultimately cost range and may just be the difference when you want all the power. Also resistive heating elements have a finite service life. Well done to the guys for spotting this and fixing it without getting stressed. They did better than an Air France crew over the South Atlantic.
That is what I've always heard.
I know when I was taking flight lessons from my uncle in a 172 (He flies Lear jets for a living) he told me unless it's a really warm day he always just keeps it on.
Icing in the pitot has brought down more than one pilot good thing they were not in imc at the time. Would have made it a bit more butt puckering.
You need a switch for any electric device. Like the beacon, which would normally run from startup to shutdown. There is a proper time for everything to be off. You don't want any of your hots on when your not in the air, but when flying, even in clear air, the pitot heat should be on except maybe on the warmest, dry days...
This was not the common advice 25 years ago when I got my PPL. And when my dad was flying when I was a kid we hardly ever touched it.
But it's true, even with no visible moisture, the pitot can ice up inside on clear subzero C days.
What is the electric load of the pitot heat? On a 24V system does the plane's entire electrical system even need more than 50 or 60 amps? That wouldn't even need 3HP from the engine.
Outstanding piece of video. Thanks for sharing.
Really great video, thoroughly enjoyed watching it. Thanks for all your effort in creating it.
Fly over Pakistan
Pro tip: when your instruments fail, fly the plane instead of all getting out your phone to film it.
What an adventure! Congratulations. Thanks for sharing.
It is so cool there are young people with means and the motor to do and document adventures like this. This video is of particularly high quality and artfully done. Thank you
How does someone decide to open a Thai Restaurant in Greenland? Were you that bad a chef in Thailand?
Thai cuisine has a large relationship with fish. Maybe a good idea to try to elevate an area where it's just boiled fish every night. Just sayin'......
It’s called gastrodiplomacy look it up
Did you notice the name of the restaurant?
single engine piston over the ocean. just silly
Years ago, men tried to cross seas and oceans with planes made with wood or metal/aluminium, back in the days when engines where not that reliable, without any instruments except stars, sextans, and watches.
We then called these guys Aviators.
Now let's do it with GPS, full reliable engine and equipped plane, and you call them silly?
Blanket Adventurer logic
Dude, there's quite a few professional pilots out there who are making a good living doing just this on behalf of the owners.
On a single screw though? If that engine goes over the Atlantic..it's a bad day@@gautierfernandez133
It does seem a bit like the aircraft is not really up to the job - incredibly slow, icing up all the time and no backup power. It can probably make it but the risk is pretty high. But then that's also what makes it exciting.
How do you think single engine planes made in the US gets over to Europe then? On the roads? ;)
