      How do you land a jet if not able to see the landing? Couple years back our flight. Put was going around the whole airport. After maybe 15 minutes we were able to takeoff. At our destination we couldnt land because we were in a cloud. Finally we landed, ran down to the street area and it was raining heavily. Do you land only visually?

    This video brought back a lot of good memories. I was born in Madison, and lived in Monona. As a child my grandfather would take me to the airport there in Madison to watch the plans take off and land. Which I enjoyed greatly. My cousin was Brig. Gen. William ( Billy ) Mitchell, and we often drove to Milwaukee to Mitchell Field. Aviation runs in both sides of the Family. Dad is cousins to the Wright brothers. My Mother is cousins with Billy Mitchell. LOL, One side invents the plan, the other side shows everyone how to fly them. Yet I never learned how to fly, but I love it still the same.

    Great video, Greg! Glad you're back in the cockpit. One of the areas I have been working on with respect to radio calls is to try not to use the words 'to' or 'for'. It's harder than it sounds. :-)
    ATC: Two Zero Mike, descend and maintain Five Thousand
    Me: Down to Five Thousand, for Two Zero Mike
    The trouble is that could be ambiguous. 25,000 or to 5,000? For Two Zero Mike or Four Two Zero Mike?
    To date, ATC has never been confused by my sloppy read back, but once someone pointed out I really tried to fix it.

    I'll echo everyone's sentiments here Greg, thanks for spending your time and effort on P1D, I enjoy each new one and go back over favorites frequently. Much appreciated.
    I have one question, a trivial one: In your airplane and flying on autopilot, if for some reason you want to initiate a heading change greater than 180 degrees, can the autopilot do that or will it always default to the acute option? In other words, if your present heading is 360deg and you want to change heading to 170deg with a left turn, can the autopilot be commanded to do that?
    Hope that's not too abstruse, and thanks again.

      I believe in most planes if you want a turn greater than 180 degrees you need to turn the bug in the direction you wish to turn a few degrees, then as the turn progresses turn it to the exact heading you want to turn to. Otherwise the autopilot will make the less than 180 degree turn.
      To give an example, say you're flying a heading of 360 and want a left hand turn to 170, so the long way around. You set your heading bug to 270 first, and as the turn progresses set it to 170. This way you initiate a right hand turn, then end the turn at 170 (the desired heading). If in this case you were to set 170 without the intermediate step, your plane will make the shorter right hand turn.
      Again I don't know how it works in his plane with his avionics but many planes (such as a King Air) does it this way. Hope it helps.

    Hi Greg, I'm now 80 and loving these videos. About 50 years ago I owned a Comanche and flew out of Schaumburg. Flew to Weir-Cook several times. Got my instrument rating and flew 12 hours more and sold the plane. I realized I did not have the time or money to stick with it. Wish now I had....
    I have a question. During the video you explained your ground speed in knots. I converted to MPH and it was 494.5. The GoPro showed 472. More curious than anything, why the difference? Wondering if I missed something. Thanks....

    • @FelipeBR777
      @FelipeBR777 4 года назад +1

      Hello Mr. Dennis! How are you, sir? That’s a GoPro error. At minute 14:54 you can see that the GoPro is already showing 472MPH, and right after, at minute 14:57, you can see on the multi function display a ground speed of 347 knots, or 399MPH. I don’t know if you already found an answer for your question; if not, I hope I have cleared it out for you. Kind regards from Brazil!

    • @discerningmind
      @discerningmind 3 года назад

      I've always found MPH in car GPS to be off a little. Perhaps it's the same with an aircraft but wider margins of error given the higher speeds.

    do you start your cameras and leave them running the whole time or do you start and stop some of them? The reason I ask is I have that same GoPro 5 session and the battery lifeisn't as great as some of the newer ones so I start and stop at frequently. This of course complicates editing.

    • @gregmink
      @gregmink  4 года назад +7

      If it is less than an hour, I'll let them run. Otherwise, I'll turn them off, swap batteries and turn back on during descent.

    • @WolfPilot
      @WolfPilot 4 года назад

      I use gopro hero 4's and the battery life sucks (maybe they are just old), So my workaround is to just use the ANKER external battery pack that @Aviation 101 recommended on his pilot bag video. There are many really thin mini usb cables available that work great.
