- TAS in Defiance, Ohio (the premier Twin Cessna Maintenance shop) and the Twin Cessna Flyer (Twin Cessna Owners Group) put on a lunch for Twin Cessna Owners in Ohio. I depart Chicago Aurora Airport on a VFR flight there. I do answer some common questions Jaime and I get asked of us while enroute.

good to see u back flying...........
Very nice Q and A. Thanks Kevin.
Kevin, thank you for sharing. Enjoy the information on the instruments, always so interesting
Great video and great information. I’ll probably start my adventure in plane ownership with a single simply due to operating costs, but one day I’d love to have a 310. Yours is gorgeous!
Wow, that was a wonderful flight class today and your 310 aircraft information , I just love flying with you ❤️
That eas a good one. I liked that you answered some questions. Can't wait for the run up video. It's nice to see this sort of thing being a student pilot. That's what I watch your channel for. Good stuff!
Well this is a mid-week treat. Thank you for the entertainment Kevin, keep up the great work. Safe flying.
Nice easy going video Kevin Thank you! The info you and some of the other you tube pilots put out there is very much appreciated, for pilots and non-pilots alike...Thanks to you all !
Love that armrest Kevin. Really enjoyed this one, with the various cockpit questions answered. Nice flight, thanks mate.
Thank you for another fun and wonderful video
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing, Kevin!
Nice flight. Keep it coming. Love it.
...thanks for sharing Kevin...always enjoy your well-done and very interesting videos...love those really great new instruments and the silver paint job...just missing Jamie again here..and please keep up all the good work..
Thanks so much for explaining the reason for the difference between the two yoke collars! I’ve been looking at them for so long now and wondering, so now I can relax 😉
Thanks for your videos and time spent edditing
Just started following. Your instrument panel is turning out nicely! Well...the entire plane as well! Good job and love your channel! Wish I would have continued flying!
Glad you found us and thanks for subscribing! Stay tuned, we have some really fun flying vacations coming out very soon. I try to edit and put out videos in chronological order. Stay tuned for New England, Tennessee, Georgia, Arkansas, etc. :)
Kevin, love your 310 and love your channel. Thanks for making me feel like I am back in the air! I remember those hazy summer days, felt like I was up there looking through the windshield.
Glad you're enjoying it Paul and happy to take you back to some fond memories. :)
Love to see you fly. Would also love to see you start the engines. Great video.
I'm beginning to think that Jaime is the only one who works - HA!
She needs to keep him living at the level to which he has become accustomed! YOU know how that is...
😝
@@Jeffrey-Flys
Ha, Ha, Ha . . . .
Yea, RIGHT!!!
Yep i am thinking that as well..... lol
Ha ha...we both do for sure. This was just a big flying week that I had taken off for OSH. :)
@@310Pilot
Yea I know, but I have to “dig” you on it, it’s my nature-ha!!!
Good stuff Kevin...a lot of nice airplanes.
G'day Kevin,
Kevin here from Australia.
Great video particularly liked the instrument tour and the split screen.
Anyhoo see ya on the next video safe travels.
✌ Peace.
That was an interesting question you were asked about the difference between the collars on the left side vs the right. So basically it's a gust lock type of mechanism.
I really enjoyed this video Kevin, but honestly, I love them all!
Nice episode, Kevin.
Hey kev happy Election Day , good to see u early in the week ! Awesome 👏
Kevin and Jamie, I passed my checkride, now im a private pilot. Lots of the communication skills I have learned were from you two, much thanks, at the beginning I was extremely and I mean extremely intimidated to even talk on the radio, now I’ve become very comfortable communicating with my home base tower and other towered airports I visited while doing crosscountry training. Thanks for the videos, I’m enjoying the travels.
Good vid. Man, good info as well.
saw then two Phantoms down there at the beginning takeoff... dang them so sweet looking birds! :)
Good Stuff Kevin... Nice Ride~Thanks ';-)
Seeing all the "like" planes reminded me of when I crewed on a J-35 (sailboat). We did a couple regatta's down in Chicago over the years that were specifically for J-35's. So the docks and slips would be filled with all the same kind of boats. Good times!
Wow, I think I saw a 303 Crusader. Love the styling of that Cessna twin, but you just don't see them that often, as I think there were less than 300 total ever built!!! Beautiful flight Kevin.
@310 Pilot Hey Kev, Awesome video as always! Thanks for answering that question about the yoke collar. I feel dumb for not figuring that out as the 172SP has the same thing. It would have been funny to see @Baron Pilot crash your breakfast (no pun intended). It might have led to some sky racing! Keep those awesome videos coming and stay healthy!
I've been slacking on your vids, man! Sorry! Great stuff as always, Kevin. Always enjoyable to watch the land pass by under the power of the twin. 👍🍻
Unacceptable Smitty...you've been with us since the beginning. :) Glad you enjoyed it. We do have a fun New England flying vacation that will be out after about 2 more videos. It was a blast and think you'll enjoy it. Check back for it.
@@310Pilot - Nice! Glad you made it out this way & glad you guys had fun! I'll be watching for it. 👍👍
Nice video
I liked this one.
Love doing my yearly lakeshore Chicago flight, landing at Midway and lunch at Giordano's
Back in 1975 my first solo XC was FWA-Tiffin- Defiance-FWA. Finally a place in familiar with! LOL
Thank you
You sorta blew (fast-forwarded) past that gorgeous Red & Gray 310B. I had to rewind and pause to give her a look. That's the model 310 my Dad & I grew up with. Looks like a good time was had by all.
Looks like it might have been a Riley Rocket conversion...awesome!
it would have been really nice to see in some of the other Cessna's that were at the lunch.... you sort of raced through that at the end. Always enjoy your videos.
Especially the Riley Rocket...that was a beauty!
Sorry Mark! With it being COVID I didn't ask to get inside any of them. I suppose I should have slowed down the ramp camera action a bit.
@@310Pilot No problem my friend, I just love looking at planes.... and interestingly enough rhank25 mentioned the Riley Rocket. My father had Riley Rocket for years. I loved it.
Thanks for the Yoke answer. Sent that question in a while back. ;-)
Love the channel. Come to the Memphis area and BBQ is on me.
oh by the way i think 1BC is the prettiest bird there....best paint ever....great video thanks for taking us along
Everything you want done for the “forever bird.” I’m going through the same thing with engines on the Baron. Whew......😯. The GI275’s are going in as EIS. Although EI now has a sale on their CGR series.
Wow I'm 30 miles from Defiance airport! Wish I would have know you were there I would have stopped by to meet and greet!
TAS is ONE of the premiere twin Cessna shops...Air Impressions in Waco (right next to Blackhawk) is another top of the line shop....Bring your checkbook though....
Wow Kevin , I'm from Defiance Ohio. Graduated in 1969 from Defiance Ohio High School .Joined the Navy in Sept. of that year ,and ended up as an Aviation Machinist mate ,working on Recips ,and Jets .I now live in Port Clinton,Ohio Retired Millwright. My Daughter works at the Port Clinton ,Ohio airport .She's the Account Manager. Small world .Fly safe........
Kevin you are working Jamie too hard. She needs another Bahama vacation. Missed her on the last three videos posted. I used to fly in 310 20year ago. Brings back good memories. Keep up good work and I did appreciate the Contollers putting up with us pilots.
Excellent video! You flew right over me at 6:03! You're making me jealous with your airspeed, I thought 115 knots was fast! lol Did I see that your ELT was INOP?
My dad was a B-52 pilot during Vietnam 1966-71..Past away shovelling snow last week :(
Please do something about the dancing fuel gauges and split fuel flows ( OCD gone nuts ) Love your 310, definitely a forever airplane
Ha ha...I'm working on it! Hopefully will have that all replaced/modernized in the next few months. :)
Kevin just something to think about. When calculating operating cost for your plane my suggestion is don't leave out all of your improvement costs to the plane even though that will make the cost per flight hour seem high. You should consider cradle to grave costs of the airplane meaning every cost from price you paid for your plane to improvements, maintenance fuel , etc... to get a true hourly operating cost (remember this plane is worth a substantial amount of money when you sell). I am a business analyst in asset management so this is kind of my wheel house. I also have my commercial pilots license and own a blistering fast Piper Cherokee 140/160 and my operating cost per flight hour is considerably higher than renting but the joy and freedom of owning your own airplane if you can afford it is is well worth the cost :) Love your channel and have been watching for quite some time (couple years for sure). Take care...
Thanks for the explanation on determining operating cost Coyne. Considering your job title, you seem well qualified on the subject. I have all the receipts since day one. Maybe I'll sit down one day and put it all together? Although I'm not sure I'd want to know. :) As you mention, it for sure wasn't an investment...it's about the joy and freedom. I feel like most people that are asking just want to know average maintenance, fuel, insurance, etc yearly cost to see if they have enough to attempt the plunge. Guess that goes to your point of masking the true hourly cost though.
Glad you're enjoying the channel and we really appreciate the support!!
Nice short flight, good too see you over my home state of Indiana, even if it is the far northern part... I was one of those wondering about that collar.... Now I know.. Makes total sense to me... There's always a reason isn't there? 1BC was the purdiest bird in the flock IMHO.... Of course, I MIGHT be just a bit biased or something..... OK, now the big question, WHERE did you bury Jamie?? Come on, fess up dude....
Hey, would love to show you a few pics of a 1959 Cessna 310 some day, was at Rough River a month ago and she was a beauty!!!.. Regards, Jack
I was thinkin’ it, then you said it. 😆. #NPBITC
I would like to see you keep your original right side engine gauges / classy & retro plus a real good back up !
Actually Kevin, the elevator gust lock will save your bacon (or elevator hinges) from prop-wash and jet blast when parked on the ramp, not just from nature's moments.
Nice flight. How was breakfast? It is always great to get together with folks having the same interests.
Dude! You need to get a glass panel ala Mike Patey's Scrappy! Go for it!
Ha ha...I'm working on it. I don't have Mike Patey's money so I have to do it slowly. :)
I was so close to making a comment about how nice the fuel quantity gauge was acting. Then, at 13:29 the right main went to sleep! Haha
The one line that Patrick Swayze did not like and thought was so stupid became the catch line for so many people.
Cool video (B). Thanks for sharing your adventures. I wonder just how many comments you got about "Where's Jamie"?
You're welcome for the sharing and glad you liked it. To be honest, I'm not a big movie person and Jaime made me watch Dirty Dancing for the first time not long ago. Did that line for her. :)
I live half hour from Defiance. . . would of loved the opportunity to meet up with ya in person !!!
Who keeps the plane so clean? Nice ride Kevin. What is next on your agenda? Stay safe
That's just a product of a really good paint job and me keeping it in a hangar primarily. I do spot cleaning as needed from time to time. It's all me, cleaning...oil changes, etc. :)
Great one! Thanks for the answers. I have 1 question that isnt about a 310 specifically. But on some 210's I see a about 10inch wide clear tinted plastic strip that runs down the windscreen. Is that just a sun shade? Or is there some kind of HUD? Anyway, thanks again. I really enjoy your content. BOOMER SOONER!!
Lovely video thanks. Was it just me or was the controllers instructions for departure a little confused? Turn to the east, to the south now, turn to the east. I'm not a pilot but I try to listen and follow everything.
Yea we miss Jamie your co-pilot
Always enjoy your videos...
I just sold my Cirrus SR22 and have been thinking about getting a 310 for awhile now so this was a timely video for me. I know you mentioned in a past video why you chose the Q model over any other. What is it about the Q model you like over the R model?
Howdy Paul...glad you're enjoying the channel and congrats on the sale! The Q is the exact same wing/cabin as the R. The only difference is the Q came with 470's and the R came with 520's and has a long nose with a baggage compartment. The R would not fit in our hangar. There are STC's for the Q to change the 470 out for either a 520 or 550. I dream about the 550 conversion. Supposedly a Q with 550's is the fastest Twin Cessna below 10K. :)
@@310Pilot good info, thanks for the reply!
Are you aware that James Stewart the actor owned a 1961 Cessna 310F. It is on display at the Indiana Country Airport in Indiana County Jimmy Stewart Airport in Indiana, PA
Thanks for the comment about James Stewart, James. I was aware of that from the Twin Cessna Flyer community. Pretty cool that they were able to get it and display it there.
Go Buckeyes!!!
Man, 1BC is one immaculate ride, she is beautiful
I wish I could pick your brain for an hour, im about to pull the trigger on a 310r and have sooooo many questions
That's about 4 or drive. How long did it take to fly? As always, thanks for making your vids and answering our questions, very cool !
Thank you for the support!! It's about a 45 min flight or so.
If you draw a line from the south side of Gary IN to Defiance OH, you'll pretty much line up with my house. 🙂 Every time a twin goes over, I look it up on FlightRadar24 to see if it's you. Bummed that I missed you again, lol.
Dang, 1BC was the purdyest one of the bunch there!! Just thinking it might be cool if P&W came up with a cost effective mini-PT6, maybe 400ish SHP, to replace the piston engines on 300-400 series Cessna's. With all the advancements in materials and process's keep it at ~$100k or less/side, we could have mini-King Air's kinda sorta. LOL I know it's not pressurized, but still would go further for TBO and no piston issues. 8) Just daydreaming..... LOL 8) --gary
You better mutiply that to at least $,$$$,$$$. !
Thank you! It would be cool but I'd need P&W to donate them to me. No way I could afford any engine that needs Jet fuel. :)
@@310Pilot well yes fuel is one thing but the cost of the engines is what I was thinking. Aren't they half to a million each?!!!
PS, another interesting informative vid Kevin. Thanks
That C90 guy who said "calling with a request call back in five minutes" followed by a different voice that gave you a beacon code for your callsign. Was the first one a trainee? That's the scenario that ran through my head. Instructor recognizes your call (and possibly your voice) and shows some professional courtesy.
New subscriber so hello. Absolutely love your 310 and the console setup.
We need the 411 on Jaime.
Ha ha...she was just working for these flights. I took some extra time off for Oshkosh but it ended up being canceled. She'll be back in full force in just a couple more videos where I start a super fun flying vacation to the North East. Stay tuned!
ATC-Air Traffic Control, I don't know what any other ones mean. Not a pilot and just getting interested in this @ 56 years old. I don't understand what it means when you say "rotate" when I think the wheels are off the ground. Lots I don't understand but watching and slowly learning. International Phonetic Alphabet is easy, I used to talk on CB radio.
Were you running 23" MP? What is the best MP setting for cruise? Thanks for all the great videos.
Down low I usually cruise around 23" and 2350 rpm. Seems to be her happy place for fuel used and speed. When I get up to 7-8000 it's just full throttle and whatever MP the atmosphere gives me.
Nobody puts baby in the corner - HA! Jamie needs to take some time off of work...Have not seen her in a while...Great video as always Kevin!
Glad you enjoyed it Brian! I'm trying to edit as quick as I can to get caught up. After 2 more I start a fun flying New England vacation series where she is with every step of the way. :)
I am not a pilot but watch all your videos. I have 2 questions. #1 why is the "grommet", "rubber thing", around the "steering wheel" shaft different from the left side as to the right side? #2 Does your 1BC number belong to you or the air plane.
You usually rotate at 90 this time 100. Why? I’m not a pilot but love your videos.
I usually rotate at 100. When I'm calling the speeds it usually is 70, 80, 90, rotate and that happens at 100 but I usually don't say it. Not sure why I did this time. :)
Can you do a video on how to operate the 310
Aaw thats kinda what he's been doing...
@310 Pilot. What is the name of the song or country band that plays your "fill in" music with the steel guitar? Is there a way you could email it to me? Your RUclips channel is amazing. I learn so much about flying. Please tell Jamie I said hello. GO DAWGS!!
Since you have a hanger, do you use the pin lock?
I hate it that you and Jamie are no longer making videos.
Jaime,
I just finished reading comments and your replies.
Were you flying before you became an ATC and how much has being an ATC helped your flying or vice-versa?
Your Cessna color scheme kicks assets:)
You should be number one with or without Jaime, better with Her:)
Cheers,
Rik Spector
The one thing I really do not like about the Twin Cessna Flyer is that they specifically EXCLUDE my favorite twin engine Cessna, the 337. Alas, no love for the venerable old Skymaster.
Aaw the old mixmaster
Kevin - you've made reference to "figuring out the landing" with the new wing VGs(and paint) several times. Now that your landings are ++ again - what were the changes in the landing numbers for 1BC? ....... just curious ...... ;-p
ps: Hi Jamie!
I used to stay at blue line (Vyse 117) till short final then bleed the speed and touch down. After the VG's I had to be closer to 97 or so on short final to feel the flare and touch down okay. Took me a bit to get the hang of. :)
@@310Pilot thanks ..... ;-p
I haven't seen Jamie in a while. You're pretty but I would rather watch her. Advise her that she needs to get back in the air.
My days are totally messed up now. Hoping for a Friday fix with Jamie. Starting to forget what she sounds like. It would be cool if she ended up being your controller one day.
I have been busting my butt to edit more than normal and release some Tuesday videos in addition to my normal Friday ones so I can get through these videos and onto our fun flying vacation together. I think that vacation starts after 2 more of these type videos. It is going to be an awesome series with us going to PA, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod, Maine, New Hampshire, and Niagara. Stay tuned!! :)
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see the mirror on the engine to confirm the gear is down. Did you not replace it after paint????
I've never had a mirror. I do remember flying an older Seneca that had one.
I’m sure Jamie has been misbehaving and has lost flight privileges🤣🤣🤣😂
Why do you keep so many of the old instruments? Given that you don’t have a Garmin PFD that can show engine parameters will you opt for a JPI?
I think we need to have Homeland Investigate where Jaime is and is she ok. This work excuse can only go on for so long.
Are the mixture settings that you have normal? They always seem to be so different.
Is your 310 in MPH or Kts? I’m training in a 310 Q and we rotate at 89. Climb out at blue line at 107. Just wondering if you wait to rotate to be closer to blue line
What are those objects on top of dashboard near windshield
i have a couple of questions..how does the fuel system work...meaning how are you able o turn fuel pumps off once at certain level?? does air pressure outside cause you to not need the pumps??..and i wonder what you are looking at air speed wise when you call out to self/and maybe cameras ""climbing at blue line""you might have explained it and i missed it!!
Engines have fuel pumps, Boost pumps are backup. Blue line is best single engine climb speed, you want to be at on climb out in case you do loose an engine, I should add
👍👍👍👍
Kevin, if you had Jamie ❤️ with you they would have parked you front and center. LOL Thanks. Stay safe.
Do you vocalize the information on take offs for us or is it for your own mental checklist?
I wondered that too, I guess I could do it in my sleep now, I'm always expecting it.
Both
As Jeffrey said, both. I want the viewers to know what I'm thinking/doing and those callouts are very important to me for safety as takeoff is the most critical time. Even professional two crew airliners verbalize many of those type callouts on departure.
