![Flying to The Bahamas and Back in our Cirrus SR-22 [MYEF-Exuma]](/img/1.gif)
Baron Pilot, just wanted to say 'thank you' for allowing me to 'fly along' with you on your flight videos. Flying was the love of my life for many years up until health problems and finances grounded me. I haven't had my hands on the yoke for almost 29 years but I still miss it badly. However, watching your videos makes me feel as if I'm in your plane with you and that provides me with a wonderful feeling I haven't felt in several years. Thanks again and please keep those great videos coming!!
Sorry to hear you had to give up flying. I am glad my videos help even if in only a small way.
Did you ever find out what that ELT was?
Thank you Mr Baron pilot, all the best to you and your loved ones over the holidays and into the new year
Same to you and yours!
Great video very informative. You and steveo1kinevo must have crossed each other in the sky
he to was in the Bahamas with some friends flying a new Sirrus . Waiting for a great 2018
Merry Christmas.
We probably did! Lol Merry Christmas
Great video.
Can you please talk about the fees? How much are they?
Dang. Airspeed went from 160 at cruise flight to 180 not long before landing.
Did you two mention a U.S. Passport? You do have to have one to get into the Bahamas AND get back into the U.S., don't you???
Yes you do need a passport
Very nice video my friend, I really enjoyed it, your friend is cool too. I have never flew in a small aircraft over a large body of water and learned a lot about this in your video. You and your family and your friends family have a Merry Christmas and we will be ready for your next video like always. Take care buddy!!!!
It always feels weird at first but then it's like any other flight. Merry Christmas!
I’m not a pilot, but when they asked you to check that frequency, why did you say” let’s hope that was accidental!”
Why no preflight on procedure if engine down on takeoff? The munchies and shark repellant are good ideas too,
Always wanted to suggest you a Bahamas flight but dont want to sound like a intruder , Im glad you done it,, Thx for share Captain
Be talking to Aaron for a while about doing this video. I thought it would be a nice change to have someone else talking besides me. 😂
Only missing survival equipment I noticed was Lucy!! Lol Merry Christmas!
Getting back to her is the mental support/survival gear. Lol. Merry Christmas!!
Seems like you’d need a sat phone to call CHP.
I like a lot of others would really like to know how much these fees are.
Now, ask yourself, would 3175W look Soooooo much better with a G500/G600 or the TXi versions of those, sitting in your panel? Yes, I know you like your Avidyne stuff, but it'll work with the G500/G600, at least. With the new TXi version, you migyht even be able to find the old versions at a discount.
Finally, I'm back working. Believe it or not, I'm repairing, or will be repairing, Honeywell avionics, stuff for the 'Big Boys.' But, it's a job, I'm happy. I'm hoping that inside of two years, I can get my FAA Repairman Certificate, that would be cool.
Merry Christmas to you and Lucy, and the rest of your family. Enjoyed this trip to the Bahamas and look forward to your return.
Congratulations on your new job!! That's awesome!! I would love a G500 or the new TXi. There is only one thing stopping me and it's not desire. Lol
Oh, I know, believe me, I know. On the other hand, I'm really waiting for Dynon to get their Skyview HDX system certified. The Cessna 172 and the Baron are the two lead aircraft for it While more than the G500, it's not *that* much more, but comes with a 10.6" screen, autopilot (so you can replace the Century IV, available ADS-B In and Out transponder, available dual ADHRS, VFR GPS and other nice features. A 10" for the main display and a 7" for the EMIS (Engine Monitoring)
Thanks for the well wishes on the job, I hope it's my last one. :)
Thanks for the coverage. Appreciate it. Former Air Force C-130 pilot.
Proud to have C-130s here at LRAFB. Hope you enjoyed your time here!
The comment of the headsets failing is hysterical.
how bout u just stay in the pattern at opa locka?
These two guys have a good camaraderie
Nice
Enjoy watching your videos.
Have a few hours in the Baron myself.
My son is in training at ATP at FXE.
That's awesome! I did my CMEL at ATP FXE
I know each trip is unique but what would be an average fee for the trip? Just a round figure so we have an idea what to expect. Thanks and have a Great Christmas and New Year.
Average fee that Bahamas charges?
The only two Part 91 Regulations requiring survival equipment are 91.205 for flights operated for hire, and the more detailed 91.509 for large (over 12,500 lb) and turbine-powered multiengine airplanes and fractional ownership program aircraft. At least from an FAA standpoint there is no formal requirement for our plain vanilla Part 91 flights. But as you point out, the rules of your destination country may be different. And it is always prudent to remember that the FAR is not the only source of the rules that apply to us.
Amazing huh? No FAA rules for survival equipment over water for small aircraft flying part 91 for non-hire... I thought it was important to point out that even though the FAA doesn't require it the Bahamas does.
what about a seaplane? is there a "landing fee" if no "airport" is involved?
No fbo to charge it then there isn’t for sure 😎
Be assured we all appreciate your dedication during these very instructive videos.
Thank you.
How long was your flight
So, what were your landing fees for Stella Maris?
$150 inbound. And $29 pp departure.
Thanks bunches.
Thanks to both of you guys for info on international flights. Season Greetings.
It was our pleasure!! Happy Holidays
Flew the Keys for the first time out of KFXE great experience next year the Bahamas!
Did you fly VFR along the keys? I love that flight.
Baron Pilot sorry for the delay in responding. I looked up this video because I’m planning on flying out to the Bahamas this March not sure where I want to go thinking maybe a short trip to Bimini but Marsh Harbor looks beautiful. But yes flew VFR to EYW south bound along the shoreline better than IFR I think especially the routing they typically give you over the glades. I kept the islands below me all the way down, it was an awesome trip. Cheers
Is it just me or does Baron Pilot look like the actor Giovanni Ribisi - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giovanni_Ribisi
awesome vid. that PB&J looks pretty good
Thanks and it was great!! I need to start packing then on all my flights!
The AOPA Bahamas Pilot’s Flying Guide is an excellent resource for all things flying to the Bahamas.
My dream flight is to fly to the Bahamas in our Piper Navajo, someday, real soon. Thanks for all the info. You guys are awesome.
In the UK we are used to crossing the Channel with life jackets, dinghies, plb's, etc. to get anywhere in Europe, but when we flew out of Florida to Bahamas 20 years ago we were surprised that at the flying club we hired aircraft from that we were told very few Americans flew to the Bahamas.
And thank you,,,,,
Thanks for watching!
Time for an update guys! But the flight scenery was gorgeous.
I just stumbled on your video.... Love it!!!gonna fly this in xplane 11!!have a lovely weekend!!
Out of curiosity do you hire with you as P1 for trips to the Bahamas? Would love to take the wife.
Well, with a 67 Mooney M20C, You're a HotRod. Yeh.
Very well...
why wasnt your mixture full rich
what about insurance
Our insurance covers us in the Bahamas. But be sure to check with your insurance company.
Subliem, & Formidabel.
Very Nice!!! I Enjoy How You Can Relate To Everyone So Honestly!!! "Hey...Let's Go To The Bahamas!!!...WHAT??
We Just Can't Hop In The Plane And GO!!!" lol!!! Perfect!! Also You Both Are SO Experienced Yet I Notice You ALWAYS
Double And Triple Check Everything!!! Some Unfortunate News I'll Share With You...There Was A Very Experienced
Aeronautics Engineer That Somehow Lost Control Of His Plane Shortly After Take Off And Perished In Panama
Just A Couple Of Days Ago....I Met Him At His Hanger About Five Months Ago...Of Course There Is Now The
"Investigation"...This Guy (Ron Simard) Had Tons Of Experience And Flying Was Always His Passion...Still...
This Happened...For Me, It Begs The Question...Does It Happen That A Person Becomes So Experienced That
They Become Sort Of "Overconfident" And Put Aside Double And Triple Checking Everything Every Single Time???
Your Thoughts Are Always Appreciated.
I am very sad to hear that. Any loss in the aviation community, even when they are a total stranger is still a loss for all of us. I would never speculate on what happen in this case, nor are you asking me too. But in general, yes complicity kills. It can happen to even the best pilots. No pilot is immune to it. It can happen very easily as we gain experience both in total time and in a particular airplane. I try very hard not to become too complacent by developing some of the habits and routines I have. I personally also attend annual recurrent training at places like Simcom even when I'm not required to just help remind me of that as well. With that being said, something like loss of control can come from many things including events that our out of our hands like catastrophic failures. All we can do is train the best we can and hope we never need it.
The other guy is my friends dad lol
Enjoyable, informative, and great video. 👍Tail # N291BP (Baron Pilot) What A Phonetic Coincidence! Lol
I wanted so bad to say 1 Baron Pilot! Lol
What are those snacks you love.
Can you help me? I try to improve my ATC skills. Can you write what is told at 2:08 after "notice to airmen:"? And what is "10205" at 4:42 ?
Andrius Masiulis 2:08 bird advisory in effect
4:42 10205 noo clue lol she said it after his expedite clearance and also said it after updating the atis to India
Sincerely appreciate this video Baron. One question... While on an IFR plan out, did they cut you loose at some point and have you squawk 1200 due to lost US radar coverage or did they hand you off to Bahama's ATC? Or, did you just cancel? Thanks much.
They handed us off. We didn't cancel until we had the field in sight.
I use SKYP through my phone to contact the USA while flying the Bahamas. You have to charge the account, but it’s not very expensive. I find that WIFI is the preferred form of international communication. Loved the Video!
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
awwwww.... were great.......lol...great video
nice video ,thanks for sharing
Very good video. Curious to how long were you folks in radar and radio contact with Miami? I'm guessing the Bahamas do not have ATC. Again enjoyed the video very much.
We're we're in contact with Miami the entire time we were above 7,000 except for a small window we were with Bahamas but then. Ack to Miami.
Great video very informative!
Questions: If while returning to the US you experience an emergency and land at a NON port of entry airport. What then? Maybe just contact border patrol yourself?
From Bahamas to Florida, unless you have an overfly permit the nearest airport is a POE. But to your question, if I have an emergency I will land wherever I have to as required for everyone's safety. But be prepared to prove it was a real emergency.
Was the ELC tone from the plane that was at 3000 below you? Merry Christmas
Think it was behind us.
Great flight guys lovely place and all the best happy Christmas cheers
Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas!
Great video. How long was your total flight time from Florida to point of entry in the Bahamas and also is their multiple point of entries? I live in Mississippi and am planning on making a trip from here to Florida to the Bahamas. Also do you think trip can be done on a Cessna 1978 172?
That flight was 2 hours but yes there are many POE. We just happen to be going there. You will have no problem with a 172.
Very interesting. I hadn't thought about the requirements or fees (as I am NOT a pilot, only a simmer or armchair pilot.) So I find that this and other videos such as this provide good insight on what is required to be in this type of profession. Good for you. I really like your camera placement - the belly cam is a nice addition to all of the cabin cameras. Keep on a-flying and having fun.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Link to the life raft you own?
Well, it's like this: I could be doing that, except shoveling snow and not seeing the sun for weeks at a time is just so much more satisfying.
Lol. Now you understand why I am willing to put up with Florida summers!
Great video very informative. You must have just missed steveo1kinevo he flew down there in a Cirrus. Great end of a year
And 2018 should be a great one too. Merry Christmas.
Ya I heard he flew down there. I will have to check out his video. Merry Christmas!
Good video and greetings from germany :-) Very merry Christmas and a Happy New year
Merry Christmas to you and yours in Germany!!
Thanks BP, have you thought about a Snap Chat account as well, Thanks to Aaron for taking us along.
Not yet. I haven't really figured out the benefits of Snap Chat yet. LOL
Thanks for all the videos this year. Merry Christmas and wish you all the best for the year to come.
You're welcome and Merry Christmas to you as well!
great video again Mr Baron Pilot Merry Xmas and safe flying for 2018 my friend
Thank you and Merry Christmas!
Awesome flight I really enjoy your flights. I have never flown in a small plane, and I haven't flown since the early 80's so this is really neat for me to see your viedos. Thanks again and safe flying.
Thank you for watching. I am glad you enjoy them.
Thanks for the detailed info
That gear transition is incredibly smooth haha. Safe skies and happy new year!
Happy New Year!!
This Is wish you and Your Family a Very merry Christmas and a Happy New year
And a Merry Christmas And Happy New Year to you and yours as well.
For a second there I thought you had some sweet new props on 3175W. Oh well, at least you have a nicer looking dash. - Mike Costello.
His props are nice. So is that G500! Just need to get him a Avidyne IFD.
Ever consider doing an Atlantic hop via Canada, Iceland, and Greenland?
I think that is every pilot's dream.
they should edited at 7:36
Merry Christmas. I do enjoy your videos. Thanks.
Thanks for watching & Merry Christmas!
I have to ask. Who was. The. Sandwich by.
Smuckers
@@BaronPilot I shop at Wal mart. Alot. Will have. To see if they have them.
I work a lot of weird hours and ❤ love. PJ'"S. Got to get a couple. Sorry when I work. Bad. Snow or are. Storms.
I think they are called uncrustables.
Man that would be so freaking fun....
It was!!
Very nice flight and always learn when I watch other do!
I learn something from each and ever person I fly with.
I think your Baron is faster than 291BP. Your indicated airspeed seems higher...
True enough, but his true airspeed was lower than the gps ground speed as if he had a tail wind and he was doing 175 kts. It seems to me BP's ground speed is usually over 180 kts and he was under. Maybe he was flying LOP, but it could have just been the conditions as you said.
I have wondered the same. Not because of indicated but because of true. We have different props so we have talked about taking both planes up to do a speed test.
Thanks for the ride, Merry Christmas to all!
Thanks for coming along and Merry Christmas!
I miss flying down the Exuma chain in an Aztec .. a super long straight in approach to 12 at MYEF .. smooth as glass until you cross the shoreline and the thermals are to remind you to stay focused ...that and picking my way through the towering cumulus over Andros .
Love the islands
No doubt. Even white knuckling into Walkers in a 58 Foxstar after a heavy shower. Angus to Agnes flying.
Very interesting and informative video. How long was your flight to the Bahamas? I noticed you fast forwarded the video I assume to save time. Your PIC seemed like a great guy to fly with and very entertaining as well! The best to you and your family for a happy and healthy holiday season! Look forward to seeing the return trip!
The flight was about 2 hours. Normally I just edit out time but the view was to nice to leave out. Aaron is great and a good friend. I actually have an older video with him "Oysters Flying...." you should check it out. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you likewise!
Love your videos! All the best for the holidays.
Thanks for your continued support! Happy Holidays!!
Cool videos and great editing! Thanks for letting us ride along :-)
Thanks for watching
Very helpful, thank you.
Awesome! Thanks for watching!
32:53 Sunscribe??? You’ve been living in Florida toooooo long. Get outta the sun Baronbabe. Keep the vids coming. Would have been nice to see Lucy on the beach sippin’ an old fashion.
How did I miss that?? Errr. She want to come!
Merry Christmast to you! Be safe, always!! -Guy
Merry Christmas!
My uncle was a Captain. He crashed his DC-6B close to Rome to Rome in 55. Bad weather and no radar in Rome.
both the videos were amazing! beautiful approach to the Bahamas :) great flying job too
Thank you and thanks for watching!
what has been your favorite flight? looked turbulent when you got into the islands huh and no problem
Favorite in general?
yes
Great Vlog.. Thanks man. Considering all the hoops & ridiculous fees I don't see this happening for me. Looks like a chain of sand box's would be more tourist friendly.
Once you complete your first flight you will find it's not that bad. Just need to know the requirements.
Oh, forgot to ask, are you transmitting ADS-B yet?
Yes. I upgraded when I installed the new GPS.
very nice! Thanks for the fast reply. I shall add you to my list on flightradar24 dot com. I report data to the site. I'm F-KBAD on the site. Looking forward to your next vlog man.
Top notch acting
LOL
And that's how you safely go to the Bahamas. Timely video, and great refresher. Headed to the Abacos for New Year's. Great to have videos from a twin driver too. Always enjoy them. Thanks for your contribution. Happy Holidays to you and yours
I've seen many video flying to the islands but no one showing what needs to be done. So I am glad this serves as a refresher!! Happy Holidays!! Let me know how New Years in the Abacos turns out. Sounds like a great idea!!
It was the most detail I've seen. The thing that's difficult to foresee is how frustrating it can be communicating on the ground in the islands. Cell reception is sketchy, the phone at the airport is dead, I want leave early but customs in US doesn't open until 10 a.m., etc. When can I get the 1 hour notice in? That's an important "heads up" y'all did a good job with
We talked about customs not opening and wanting to leave early. It may be in my longer Patreon version. You can always call MIA or PBI customs. They are open 24 hours.
Yep. Y'all covered it. Very helpful. GA is a unique way to enjoy the Bahamas. More pilots should do it
Oh good! It really is the best way to.
Great vid ! 👍 from indian ocean
Indian Ocean?! Wow. Thanks for watching!
Baron Pilot yeah, I’m flying over an active volcano in indian ocean ! Take a look at my videos...
Happy New Year
Happy New Years to you and yours!
Thank you
You are welcome.
vídeo top!!!
Thank you.
Great content, thank you!
As always thanks for watching
it would be telling for you two pilots to listen for how many times you insert the word "so" into your sentences.
