"boost pump off". "Wait, what?" Despite flying numerous airplanes, you still manages to catch the little things. Congrats on staying alert and being on top of things, wishing you the best times on the 421c. What a beauty...
Awesome! Thanks for the memories! I was a A&P (no pilot lic) in the 90's flying up to Buffalo NY to recover one of our aircraft that had an issue. The commercial pilot instructor pulled up in that ac to bring me and my tools up there..... when i got in he was already in the right seat and said "your aircraft" 😳 he knew i had started working on my pilot's license but this was no 172! It was nighttime in winter.... i landed that thing with 5" of ice on runway! To say my rear had a firm grip on the seat is a major under statement! After we shut down he said I knew ya could handle it or I wouldn't have let you do it. I guess he knew me better than I did.
Congratulations Jimmy. By the way. God bless you for all your hard work bringing aid to the victims of Hurricane Helene. God sees your heart Jimmy. God bless and watch over you and your loved ones. ✝️🙏🏻❤️☺️
Jimmy, Great pilots aren’t afraid to show what they don’t know as you did on the first takeoff. You did a great job on the engine failure after some training, and watching you fly tells me you’re a very good pilot.
The C-421 is one of the nicest pilot friendly airplane to fly, you just need to be trained to fly it. The C-421 is my favorite of all piston twins to fly. While the AeroStar is fastest piston twin, you will enjoy the C-421 far better cabin class plane. Treat the plane with care and it will be a very dependable plane.
I fully agree. The cockpit panel of the C421C looks exactly like my good old 1964 C320 but with the addition of a pressurized cockpit. Try to talk to ATC with an oxygen mask on your face. Then controlling cockpit pressurization seems easy. Once you get used to those twin Cessnas they are a great joy to fly. If you want something "most complicated" then try the AN2. That seems really complicated, at least for the first few hours ...
Jimmy I enjoyed this video as much as any you have made. You have a super plane and your whole family will really enjoy it. Thanks for bringing me along
This is pretty great! Liked this one a lot! When I was young and hadn’t had a lesson yet, I read a book called “I learned about flying from that” I believe the title was. Good book on different situations where the pilot walked away from skiffy stuff.
Your videos always amaze me with their professionalism and depth of treatment of the topic. Thank you for your dedication and passion for creativity!🍀👏🏻🤟
I LOVE high wing aircraft, you forgot to mention the VIEW in those planes with no wing in the way! Especially the cub with the door open! Then again roll into an FBO with the Cirrus with air conditioning and the Lamborghini doors and people know you're traveling fast comfortable and in style!
Re: nausea in a simulator In the early 1980s, we did a "career day" at the local air force base. It was a TAC base running primarily F15s, but still provided support for a variety of aircraft. F-4 were still in limited service, and the reserves and ANG were still running hogs and A-7s. Singer had the most advanced A:A simulator at the time, and they had a team of technicians that did nothing but keep it running for the air force. This particular model had motion and vision and sat inside a huge geodesic ball. It ran motion OR visual perfectly. But try to run them at the same time = chunks in your facemask.
😂 I too got a right seat ride in one years back after leaving a Seneca III in Ocala after losing the left engine on take off. Our buddy gave us a ride home in the 421. Try that speed over the fence on a 2200 ft runway at night. I was backing up in my seat watching that runway getting so close so quickly. lol.
Having flown ALL of the Cessna 400 series airplanes, I really enjoyed the 421C with the VG kit and spoilers. Fresh RAM engines make it an airplane that will be around for a long time if treated fairly and respected for its capabilities. Add the Robertson STOL and it does quite well on shorter fields. If a "glass cockpit" grouping is added, it brings it up to a more modern world. Instructing in the airplane is like being in the "boardroom" with the "wide oval" cabin. Enjoy the plane for many years!
I think you're wrong, Jimmy. It's not the most complicated aeroplane in GA. It's the most complicated civil aeroplane, period. Single pilot, supercharged geared piston engines - screw up the levers and it's pretty easy to blow up the engines. People think that the step up is truboprop, like a Kingair, and then Jet - but they are actually step downs in engine management and performance reserve (they are only step ups in keeping ahead of the aircraft).
Definitely not a 172 or a 310 but I’m sure that the experience you had with the 310 certainly helped. I noticed that you were a little overwhelmed by the experience and knowing the responsibility you have for such a magnificent aircraft
Jimmy, there was a time when we ALL ran steam gauges and EVERYTHING was done manually. Trust me mate, it will make a better pilot out of you. I progressed through the normal levels and eventually went into the 421 and the Beech Duke and later King Airs and Cheyenne III's. The single most advanced piece of equipment I ever had was a Gen 1 Northstar GPS unit and a rather rudimentary flight controller setup. I moved on after about 4200 hours in those rigs. The 421 is a great airplane and is really very pilot friendly. Respect it and respect your own capabilities and you will be fine. Keep on keepin on man.
The Cessna 421 was my first airplane back in the 1980s, flying for a tiny company in Europe. It was a handfull, to say the least. IFR in complex airspace at night, weather and ... alone. I survived 500 hours and moved on to the next step, the Cheyenne II XL. Got to be lucky sometimes... Regards from the 747-8. RS ✈
I saw your leg jump on that rudder!! Good job. Thank you so much for getting that level of training and experience BEFORE hopping in your 421. Not sure what they recommend, but being new to that airplane, I would go back every 6 months for a refresher a couple of times and then, based on your retention at 6 moths, you might be able to make it an annual event. Never think you can go longer.
The 421 is a good old bird; fast, quiet, roomy, good looking, easy to fly; pay attention to the numbers and fly her by the book. The only drawback is the cost of ownership, operation, maintenance, and insurance is about the same as a B 52
I like the video. Company I worked for back in the late 70's had a 421. we had a misshipment of product to a business in Hartford, CT. So the owner and I went over to Windsor Locks and picked up the items and started back to Schenectady, NY and when climbing out we had a load bang, Turned out to be a bird strike . 8PM and dark and I am looking out the window with a flash light to see it there was any visible damage . No issues with engines or flight controls so notified Albany ATC of the incident and continued in to Schenectady. The leading edge of the wing at the junction if the de-icing boot was a small bird ( woodcock)jammed in to the material separation between the aluminum and boot.. Several thousand dollars and a month later the airplane was back in the air. The company flew that plane for quite a few years until upgrading to a Citation. Beat of luck .
Just started working on my A&P while building hours as a CFI. The mechanic specializes in 421. It’s been great to learn about these planes and work on them. Those exhaust bolts gave me a headache 😂
As much as I’ve always dreamed of flying, if I lived close enough I’d definitely be begging him to be my teacher! Such knowledge and a great person.. 👌🏽😁
The Closest thing I was ever successful in Parachuting to a safe landing was my High-school Milk carton Egg parachute drop 😂 Worked like a charm while everyone else was eating a scrambled egg mine was a "delish over-easy"😂 That Aircraft with the Parachute (I believe Cirrus) is super cool Jimmy👌🏻 Side note Yes on the Longest flying airplane video. That one of the topics your channel is made for.
My only, so far, actual stick time came in a Piper Super Cub. I flew with a CFI in the back seat and once aloft and he was confident that my flight sim experiences gave me at least some knowledge of how things worked, let me fly it during the cruise portion of the second of three flights that day. On the third flight, he handed controls over to me shortly after take off and left me fly the entire final flight and took control only after I lined it up on the final approach. It was a great experience. Unfortunately, flying lessons, obtaining a license, and maintaining a license was expensive, as was buying a house. My wife was more satisfied with a house than the idea of flying in a tiny aircraft. Oh, well, thank goodness for computer flight sims.
Nearly 10K hours under my belt with most of that in Part 121 turbines and I still look back very fondly at the couple of hours I got to log in a 421. By far one of my favorite planes I've ever flown. So smooth, and insanely quiet for a piston prop, you almost don't need headsets once you pull the prop RPM back into the lower end of the green arc. I'd take it over a king air any day if somebody just handed me the keys to either one. The king airs are insanely loud and the cabin much narrower, and for some reason the ride seems to be much rougher, stiffer wings I suppose. It's a shame the GTSIO engines are known to be temperamental, and have a very low TBO, and are extremely unforgiving to ham-fisted engine management. These can be REALLY expensive hangar queens as well, and the specialty twin Cessna shop I went to said that even with very diligent pilots, the engines rarely make TBO. But it's a very rewarding and above all comfortable plane to fly otherwise.
Jimmy, your doing as I used to do , move the seat forward,so you are not reaching to get flaps throttle ECT. When you yeah you move the yoke try it and see, just a suggestion Love your 421, best looking bird there is
We always called them THE FAMILY KILLER. Because they are just big enough to fit your whole family in, and just complicated enough that something is always missed inflight!
53:30 Just curious, why were you declaring an emergency before securing the engine? I did a Multi Engine IR rating back in Febuary and was taught that talking to ATC in the event of an engine failiure in an MEP aircraft is absolute last item due to the much reduced performance. I flew the DA42 for it so it was gear and flaps up as the speed builds, confirm failed engine, Idle, Master, Alternator, Fuel and then talk to ATC. Other than that, such a cool cool aircraft. Would love to fly old school aircraft like the 421C someday!
That 421 seems a lot like the 402 I flew a lot in the past. With the addition of the pressurization controls. A 414 would be even closer to it. The 421s attribute is it's geared, more powerful engines. And thus better performance. Of the 400 series Cessnas, the 421 is probably the most expensive to maintain. Best for corporate use or those with really deep pockets.
Hi Jimmy! Isn`t that C421 the one you purchased?? Anyway, it`s an awsome bird. Hope is the one you owne. Oh and congrats on the video content. Awsome (as usual).
Briefing speeds and departure plan on the runway? I bet the takeoff briefing was super thorough since that’s one of the biggest killers flying multi’s and all
A) Was this all filmed in Georgia and B) what were the airfields and their locations? Thanks, Jimmy, you do great stuff. You never fail to entertain. Best regards, Rick, Conyers, GA
I was working on a guy's plane and asked him, "What was the most scared you've ever been." Without a moments hesitation, he says, "When my wife caught me fooling around." After I controlled my laughing, I told him, I meant in a plane. When Jimmy is flying that Cirrus and asked the owner; how much of a step up is the 421? I would have said, "The first thing is finding a volunteer to empty the potty."
Speaking as an airline pilot who also flies quite a bit of general aviation, I don't know why people retract flaps on the rollout. Don't do this. Raise the flaps after you clear the runway. In the airlines we don't touch anything until after exiting the runway. There are countless instances with GA pilots grabbing the gear handle and not the flap handle. Even my Bonanza had this happen to it by a previous owner. I get the whole 'Get rid of the lift for better braking' thing but if a successful outcome of your landing relies on this then your margins are way to close.
You should help rebuild rescue out maybe do a collab with them on helping them restore the Cessna 401 there working on and fly your Cessna 421 over to the rebuild hanger and surprise them
44:18 "What do you do over here?" Well Jimmy, that's where they fail your critical engine. Over and over and over again.... :) No idea why they call it "multiengine training" because you sure don't spend much of the training with multiple engines running. :)
Something to think about. Try to minimize your calls. I don’t think counting airspeed in 10 kts increments helps, maybe takes your mind off of aviating. My opinion of course. In the citation I do take off power set, airspeed alive, 80 kts cross check, V1, rotate, positive rate, gear up. (Speed and attitude check). I flew the Aerostar with similar calls. Just my two cents
Just installed a Garmin auto pilot in a 421 golden eagle. (Me personally, didn't pay anyone to do it) they can be a challenge. There 10 pounds of airplane in a 5 pound sack.
"boost pump off". "Wait, what?" Despite flying numerous airplanes, you still manages to catch the little things. Congrats on staying alert and being on top of things, wishing you the best times on the 421c. What a beauty...

GREAT progression. Flying is so simple AND complicated! !! !!!
Manual flying I find helps you from becoming complacent. I actually find it easier than the modern screen filled cockpits you find today.
Congratulations Jimmy. By the way. God bless you for all your hard work bringing aid to the victims of Hurricane Helene. God sees your heart Jimmy. God bless and watch over you and your loved ones. ✝️🙏🏻❤️☺️
what a fantastic gentleman you interviewed here Jimmy! Thankyou for another top video!

She looks like a beauty. Gives the impression of a baby King Air. Happy flying Jimmy.
This video is 1 of your best...these pilots are great!
Road trip time Jimmy! Looking forward to more videos with your sweet new ride.

My dad used to build the Skyhawk in Ontario Canada back when I was a kid I would walk around the plant . It was super cool
awesome video...rock on
stall was epic....🎉
I would love to see the unedited footage of the cub flight! I love that guy.
He seems like a great teacher
Loved my time in the 421. Still my favorite plane.
I got a right seat ride in a 421b a couple weeks ago, truly an impressive aircraft. Over the fence at 120 knots is just nuts
😂 I too got a right seat ride in one years back after leaving a Seneca III in Ocala after losing the left engine on take off. Our buddy gave us a ride home in the 421. Try that speed over the fence on a 2200 ft runway at night. I was backing up in my seat watching that runway getting so close so quickly. lol.
This'll blow your mind then. The Falcon 7X's over the fence speed is 110kts, and that's a 70,000lb airplane.
I love flying the 421C
Having flown ALL of the Cessna 400 series airplanes, I really enjoyed the 421C with the VG kit and spoilers.

When I was learning to fly I got lucky and got to fly a C-5 simulator out at Travis AFB! It was amazing how fast you can climb with that huge jet!
Jimmy would be wow'ed by a king air. In a great way
When I first started flying, we called the auto wing levelers. Grat show Jimmy.
I think you're wrong, Jimmy. It's not the most complicated aeroplane in GA. It's the most complicated civil aeroplane, period.

Deploys spoiler, says spoiler alert. Its gold, Jerry(Jimmy). GOLD!
Looks great! FYI, commercial acs steep turns are 50° bank, not 60°.
Definitely not a 172 or a 310 but I’m sure that the experience you had with the 310 certainly helped. I noticed that you were a little overwhelmed by the experience and knowing the responsibility you have for such a magnificent aircraft
I love them cubs! Bush pilots are awesome!

Great Video!!! Can't wait for your first solo in the 421 it will soon become your go to, No More Motorhome trips just 421 trips.😀
Your channel is a real find for everyone who appreciates quality and informative content. Keep up the good work!💵🥊😻
Finally jim.y, no old dilapidated aircraft . Now you got a nice one.. i would keep this one if I were you

Oh yeah! Jimmy, it's sure as cool as cool can be. I think I know exactly how you feel. I was with you all the way to touch down. Jimmy
What a lovely aircraft (cirrus) and a really top bloke to go fly with. I love the pilot dry sense of irony..."off airport landing"...great vid. 😊😊
The 421 is a good old bird; fast, quiet, roomy, good looking, easy to fly; pay attention to the numbers and fly her by the book. The only drawback is the cost of ownership, operation, maintenance, and insurance is about the same as a B 52
Awesome video thanks 🙏
well done on the stall but you’re right, it didn’t look like much. I would have been leery too but that thing flies great.
Yes please. I want to learn more about the longest flight in history!
Man, that SR20 was pretty cool. I haven't been up next to a modern aircraft yet.

You can do it Jimmy
Jimmy, I am very proud that you got simulator training! You don’t know what you don’t know! make it an annual event!

12:52 I thought he was going to go into the DB Cooper story, lol.

The high point was watching the realization of "sunglasses at night" hit Chris. I genuinely laughed out loud.
awesome

Getting type rating in the King Air to promote a small company is an awesome deal right there
*sorry 421*)
Zeros had wing wash wing tips to assist in low speed turning, and f-15's had it too!
Holy smokes Jimmy you did well, i was the one all tensed up especially when he said there will be a bit of buffering,wow got to go shower now lol.
Jimmy, your doing as I used to do , move the seat forward,so you are not reaching to get flaps throttle ECT. When you yeah you move the yoke try it and see, just a suggestion
Love your 421, best looking bird there is
"I'm sorry ....Exsqueeze me what!?" 🤣😂
I never forgot my multi-engine training 13 years ago... I still have nightmares! 🤣
You should add a Twin Beech to the mix. Or maybe a Merlin IIIB for complexity.
We always called them THE FAMILY KILLER. Because they are just big enough to fit your whole family in, and just complicated enough that something is always missed inflight!
All right airplane videos!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😂
53:30 Just curious, why were you declaring an emergency before securing the engine? I did a Multi Engine IR rating back in Febuary and was taught that talking to ATC in the event of an engine failiure in an MEP aircraft is absolute last item due to the much reduced performance. I flew the DA42 for it so it was gear and flaps up as the speed builds, confirm failed engine, Idle, Master, Alternator, Fuel and then talk to ATC.
Other than that, such a cool cool aircraft. Would love to fly old school aircraft like the 421C someday!
just a side note...plexiglas is acrylic. Lexan is a tradename for polycarbonate.
That 421 seems a lot like the 402 I flew a lot in the past. With the addition of the pressurization controls. A 414 would be even closer to it.

Hi Jimmy! Isn`t that C421 the one you purchased?? Anyway, it`s an awsome bird. Hope is the one you owne. Oh and congrats on the video content. Awsome (as usual).
Lt Dangle!! New plane goofing.
Briefing speeds and departure plan on the runway?
I bet the takeoff briefing was super thorough since that’s one of the biggest killers flying multi’s and all
Before watching the vid I thought... why would a plane in Georgia be more complicated than anywhere else?!
Your channel is an oasis for those who appreciate quality content. Continue to delight us with new videos!🌻🦅🐇
What about Navajos? My dad flew them. Said if you don’t watch egt temps you’ll bust a turbo in half easily.
Really depends on how you define GA, but you're probably right that this is among the most complicated.
A) Was this all filmed in Georgia and B) what were the airfields and their locations? Thanks, Jimmy, you do great stuff. You never fail to entertain. Best regards, Rick, Conyers, GA
It couldn't be more complicated than responding to e-mails. 😉
You should try flying the Mitsubishi MU2. If flies like a jet and requires a type certificate.
@@kenwanless4533 It requires training under a special FAR. Not really a type rating.
I was working on a guy's plane and asked him, "What was the most scared you've ever been." Without a moments hesitation, he says, "When my wife caught me fooling around." After I controlled my laughing, I told him, I meant in a plane. When Jimmy is flying that Cirrus and asked the owner; how much of a step up is the 421? I would have said, "The first thing is finding a volunteer to empty the potty."
The Aeronca Champ is easy to fly too.
I have the same Wx radar in one of my airplanes. It's much better than streaming XM Wx which is about 15 minutes behind.
Speaking as an airline pilot who also flies quite a bit of general aviation, I don't know why people retract flaps on the rollout. Don't do this. Raise the flaps after you clear the runway.

I get the whole 'Get rid of the lift for better braking' thing but if a successful outcome of your landing relies on this then your margins are way to close.
Mitsubishi MU-2 is not an easy one to fly either, but like to see Jimmy fly one at least
That's just like the diamond models
can I be greedy and ask for full flight video with the Cessna 421C please please :D
You should help rebuild rescue out maybe do a collab with them on helping them restore the Cessna 401 there working on and fly your Cessna 421 over to the rebuild hanger and surprise them
Why did you buy the most maintenance intensive piston twin ever built?
44:18 "What do you do over here?" Well Jimmy, that's where they fail your critical engine. Over and over and over again.... :) No idea why they call it "multiengine training" because you sure don't spend much of the training with multiple engines running. :)
that thing is going to gobble up disposable income--but it's great content!
I took a Cub up to 10,000 feet once..like sitting in a barco lounger in an air conditioned room.
I was scared shitless.
I thought you was a goner good job.
Something to think about. Try to minimize your calls. I don’t think counting airspeed in 10 kts increments helps, maybe takes your mind off of aviating. My opinion of course. In the citation I do take off power set, airspeed alive, 80 kts cross check, V1, rotate, positive rate, gear up. (Speed and attitude check). I flew the Aerostar with similar calls. Just my two cents
I flew basic gliders stick and rudder and with a yaw string.
Aviate (keep the airplane flying and take care of the malfunction), navigate, THEN communicate.

Just installed a Garmin auto pilot in a 421 golden eagle. (Me personally, didn't pay anyone to do it) they can be a challenge. There 10 pounds of airplane in a 5 pound sack.
