Wow! That was too close for comfort. Thank you for sharing that specific length of video. It is an incredible example of how easy it is to get into an incursion situation at a large, unfamiliar airport. Fantastic job of getting on the bakes before the controller recognized the problem. The aviation community is best served by examples that good pilots like you are willing to share with the rest of us! I really appreciate your channel and your beautiful aircraft.
As a non-pilot, (passed ground school test, very few hours in left seat) I find I learned MORE from this type of video than some instructional videos, because this was a "real" flight in progress with real issues arising as they came about along the route. The pilot simply stated what the issue was, and explained it briefly w/out explaining the issue to death. Points of interest in this video: talking to ATC, IFR issues, real Wx issue problems and solutions w/ATC, descent and dealing w/other traffic via ATC instructions and finally ground work and staying ahead of a distracted ATC controller and failure consequences briefly explained. Loved this video for keeping it real. Other instructional videos are very good too, but I like the real time experience in addition.
I’m a very rusty IFR rated pilot 44 years ago and these glass panel are new to me, and they are amazing. I really enjoy watching you fly these flight. I’m working on getting current and just have two G5’s and a 650. But it’s coming along. I see you do some angel flight and think that is wonderful of you
You have been gone to long! My wife and I were getting worried. It’s nice to see you and your family again. Thank you for blessing us with your videos. If you are ever in the Aiken, SC area (Masters Golf) you must fly into our little airport, it is wonderful! Don’t stay gone for so long this time! Brothers in Christ
Hello and thank you for the encouraging comments. I've made a few videos in the last couple months but didn't post because they weren't that interesting. I'll absolutely drop into Aiken the next time I have a chance! God's blessing be with you.
That controller is really funny. "Would you run towards that cliff for me? Yeah no problem, I tell you when to stop. Oh yeah and do me a favor and run a bit faster!"
With conservative taxi speeds to unfamiliar airport prep to pilot situational awareness, there's plenty of good experience to glean from this episode. Great flight and great stop!
I want to thank you... I've been watching most of your posting, not only the amazing instrument flying and the ability's of understand using the Garmin equipment. I'm a Cessna 210K flyer, but considering upgrading to a 1986 Malibu . So finding you... has help in this future decision. TU as stated your explanations have helped me.
Man, one of the very best vid ever.. Dodging thunder storms... Knots to MPH conversions.. Hot Rod Bo-nann-za.. In flight entertainment via back seat singer.. Drag racing a jet on the taxi way.. Playing chicken with arrivals and departures... And BBQ! Seriously don't know how to top this one. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family and the adventures you have. Just great stuff! Oh, I almost forgot! The burning question I've always wanted to ask... do your breaks squeak? YES! :)
Which camera is recording the audio? And do I count eight cameras in some of your vidoes? Two wingtips, two looking out on wings, one dash facing forward, one dash facing backward, one behind pilot and copilot looking forward, on on the yoke looking at the pfd?
Hi Daniel. It was nice to meet you in Prescott. Regrettably, I didn't wind up using any of the video from the Yosemite to Prescott trip because it was a VFR flight and not too interesting.
Kory, good to see you on RUclips again, been awhile, was hoping there wasn’t any issues with the NEW motor!!! Pauls Valley, so close, yet so far....Did you happen to know what the tops were on that big build-up? Good job on dodging the storms, some pretty layers though! WOW, nice learning experience for all on the taxing....
Hi Ron. I've actually made two videos since the new motor, Yosemite and an Angel Flight to Burbank. After editing, I realized there was nothing very interesting so I deleted them. The tops on the big ones were well above FL400 as I heard commercial traffic routing around it as well. Sedona sure is nice this time of year... :)
@@MalibuFlyer Yep I know how that goes, we just landed, spent the day at Amelia Earhart airport/museum today, hopefully the videos we shot today will be keepers!!!
Excellent, very educational video. I own a Saratoga (in Canada but I do fly in the US too), and have been Instrument rated for 2.5 years so I enjoyed learning from you greater experience handling typical IMC and CBs. I just discovered your channel and have subscribed. Looking forward to your next video. Keep up the great work.
Malibu Flyer, I have found that nexrad is pretty accurate if the system isn’t moving fast. However, I agree that you want to remain visual around thunderstorms. Nice video.
Perfect example that the flight's not over until the wheels are chocked. THe destination is never an airport, it's a PLACE on the airport. Thanks for the video!
First of your videos I have watched. This airport taught me the lesson back in the 70’s to better job of knowing location of FBO and basic taxiways. First time I flew in was at dusk and got so lost that when I finally made it to FBO, I was tired and nervous and a little upset at not being prepared. I locked the keys inside the aircraft by mistake so I called it a day and went to the hotel. Fueled and continued on the next morning.
Possible upgrade for Foreflight - airport surface navigation. Have it suggest a route from current position on airport to desired parking so you have an idea what the controller will possibly give you.
I have been looking for you for some time. We were trusting the Lord that everything was okay. If you guys we're in the Ocala area and we had the money to do it, I would love to buy the fuel to go around the field. I solo'ed my daddy's Piper Cherokee 140 when I was 17, then I flew with my Father in Law (at that time) then when the both of them sold theirplanes I kind of got out of it. But I'm trusting the Master to get back into flying again. Anyway, it's so wonderful to watch God's People and see the Lord all over them. Blessings Bishop Keith And Jeanette Kirby.
Hello. We have been fine, thank you. I created (then deleted) videos from a couple trips as I didn't think there was anything of interest in them. Interestingly, I just left Ocala last Wednesday. It was a quick-turn trip to pick up my daughter. I'm glad to hear of your interest to get back in the air! God bless you and your family.
@14:04 You can see why ATC had you turn right 20°.. The traffic is off the nose of the aircraft low about 5 to 10° right of the nose.. You can see the aircrafts position lights and strobs flashing off in the distance, hard to tell how far, though.
So there is a scene in the movie Always where the guy follows the “follow me” tug all over the airport and no one is driving it. Always good to question ATC as 444DT was sensing something was not right on the taxi instructions. Thanks for sharing the good and bad.
Great learning experience. If you have not been explicitly told to cross a runway or can't remember if you were, just stop and ask. An "I told you so" is much better than a "I have a number for you."
Great work and site. Passed ground and 12 hrs . instruction in a 172 then girlfriend, house ,kids, braces, college, you guys get it. Nice attention to detail vis a vis using and explaining the avionics. Lots has changed since 1980 and my lessons at Fort Lauderdale Executive . Go a little slower and explain with the touch screen , Thanks M.F.
Great Video! Glad to see you back. My wife doesn't like the "hair mussin" headsets either. What brand/model does your wife use, does it have ANR, and does she like it?
Hi Jim and thank you. She uses the Quiet Technologies Halo headsets and loves them. No ANR but they do the job. www.quiettechnologies.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=51
You do a nice job. I have a suggestion regarding ATC and deviations. When you request them, request left or right deviations only. No need to estimate how many degrees you need. If ATC has a restriction in mind, they’ll tell you. If you only say “left deviations for weather”, you can adjust whatever you need without calling them again. I find it easier than trying to figure out how much of a deviation you need, the trying to get back in when you realize you may need more. Hopefully that makes sense, and I’m sure you probably already knew that, but I figured I’d throw it out there.
I enjoyed watching this video and applaude them for coming to Tucumcari. Great Video. Would love to see more air traffic come into Tucumcari. How can Our community accomodate these travelers ? I am a Radio DJ here in Tucumcari and look forward to helping resolve this situation.
beautiful your flying adventures and malibu and a wonderful plane a small jet but with a piston engine, you have never tried or heard of the extra 400 I think it is an excellent plane but unfortunate, in europe general aviation is expensive and inexpensive used and the extra 400 and the development in 500 with turbine too expensive to buy for the European market. I would like your opinion and if you have the opportunity try it in flight your flights are beautiful and instructive
Hmmm. Even though he was going to give you a progressive, I'm a bit surprised he didn't also give you the instructions. "North on Mike, right on Alpha" is fairly simple and would have probably pulled your attention to the taxi diagram more than simply "I'll call your turn." As you indicated, a piece of this one is on both of you. Good lesson for all of us.
Does it make more sense to simply go over the layout of any airport you're going to land at ahead of time so you don't have to rely on ground control paying attention?
N V As a native Texan, who has competed in BBQ competitions since kindergarten and now living in Tennessee, I think I can accurately address that - Baby-back ribs, not spareribs...chicken is NOT bbq !...brisket always ! As for “Texas, Memphis, or K.C. ? My grandad always said : “Well, whose prettier, blondes, brunettes, or redheads ?? Just give me one of each”.
Not sure where you went, but as a native Memphian, Central BBQ is my favorite. Memphis BBQ Company just across the Mississippi state line is a very close 2nd.
Love your videos and especially appreciate you candor. Quick question, I heard a "five hundred, five hundred" called out on your approach. Is that from your Garmin radar altimeter or some other system?
@@MalibuFlyer If it were me, I would not disable one of the systems calling out. Redundancy is the name of the game. If one fails, you would still have your backup. Could potentially be a life-saver some day.
I used to fly into OLV all the time as it is the closest to my parents' place in Collierville. They are way too pricey nowadays. NQA is where I go now, since their fuel is always the cheapest in the area. MEM was a fun airport back in the 80s, but it's just not the best GA option these days in the Memphis area.
Malibu Flyer oh. My friend and I were looking at a Malibu and saw a 1985 advertised as a mirage. Was it a typo? I didn’t know the Mirage didn’t come out till much later. Is that landing gear different than the standard?
@@ctn830 Hello. The original Mirage variant of the original Malibu was first offered in 1989. The biggest difference was a switch from the original 310hp Continental to the 350hp Lycoming. The landing gear hasn't changed since 1986 when they moved from the Gar-Kenyon to the Parker-Hannifin gear.
Why not fly into Millington-Memphis (KNQA)? They have an 8000'x200' runway with a staffed tower for 18-20 hours per day and fuel trucks. Your only a 20-25 min drive into Memphis. It is a much easier airport to get into and out of instead of MEM.
I looked at KNQA but it was a little farther out from where we needed to be. All in all, KMEM was easy and relatively cheap ($15/day for parking). Just long taxi time.
I had an ATC at RYN in Tucson vector me towards mexico. When he realized what he had done, ALBQ Center was on the Phone with him. Don't think it ended in a good way for him.
Gotta get yourself more familiar with airport markings and layouts before arrival. Especially if you see the flashing hold short markings. You even triggered a warning to yourself “where is he taking us?” Hard to do in the moment but thats a trigger to slow or stop and ask for guidance/instructions. Who cares about the guy behind you. Not your problem. 👍🏽 Lesson learned.
I think the controller got excited and yelled “stop” not because of being angry, but because of knowing that even though you get faulted in an FAA report, surely he will also be named as “contributing factor”.
Have to say I look for your videos and wait anxiously as I always learn something. It's also great to see Family, God, and Aviation all in one channel. I love the panel as well. What type of Garmin PFD's are those.
Was this trip taken at the end of August by chance? We overnighted in MS because I couldn't get back north thru Memphis on Saturday afternoon. Left out on Sunday morning to get back t KSET.
Radar = new plane as the retrofit would be cost prohibitive. My strategy is to remain in visual conditions any time I'm near convective buildup. You're right though, the wife does want radar :)
Hi Steven. Technically, there was no incursion as I was able to come to a full stop just before the hold short line and received a clearance to cross in order to make the turnaround. Are you saying I should have still filed one?
@@MalibuFlyer I agree even though you didn't have an incursion it was still way too close, maybe filing will cause that guy to pay a little more attention next time.
@@MalibuFlyer You are completely correct, no runway incursion. NASA reports have a 10 day window to file. I follow the rule of when in doubt, file one. They don't cost anything, take a few minuets and the data collected helps focus training.
You didn't do anything wrong. Foreflight could have helped you find the FBO and warn you of the approaching runway. Ground guy tried to screw you over like an examiner. I thought it was strange he asked you to keep speed up for a G-ride behind you, on the ground.
At lunch and at midnight Memphis is one of the busiest airports in the world. Had Fedex been launching they would have ate you up. You were totally not prepared and at fault for not having a airport diagram and familiarize yourself with the layout. You fly a nice complex aircraft but don't know how to find your way to the barn. One of my instructors once told me you have to fly yourself all the way to the barn, just because you land doesn't mean your done!
@@droge192 He posted the video for the world to see so he opens himself up for comments.. with my comment maybe someone that reads this in the future will learn that Memphis isn't a place to stop for fuel at lunch or midnight
No one on RUclips has this type of content. Keep doing what you’re doing. Very real world informative and educational.

While it's good that he caught this, would I be correct in saying this was mostly ground control's fault?

Taste in airplanes doesn’t extend to taste in bbq 😂 but to each his own!

Tell me more about your Malibu. is it the Mirage or Matrix? year?etc
Hello. Mine is a 1986 Malibu. The Mirage and Matrix came later. Mine is the first Malibu to have electric flaps and Parker-Hannifin landing gear.

@@ctn830 Hello. The original Mirage variant of the original Malibu was first offered in 1989. The biggest difference was a switch from the original 310hp Continental to the 350hp Lycoming. The landing gear hasn't changed since 1986 when they moved from the Gar-Kenyon to the Parker-Hannifin gear.
Malibu Flyer Oh I thought the mirage meant that it was pressurized. OK thanks. big help.
@@ctn830 They may have upgraded the engine or don't know the difference. You might want to research the reason for the engine change.
Why not fly into Millington-Memphis (KNQA)? They have an 8000'x200' runway with a staffed tower for 18-20 hours per day and fuel trucks. Your only a 20-25 min drive into Memphis. It is a much easier airport to get into and out of instead of MEM.
I looked at KNQA but it was a little farther out from where we needed to be. All in all, KMEM was easy and relatively cheap ($15/day for parking). Just long taxi time.
Awesome!
Could that hard stop have affected your brakes that much where they would need replacement?
If they got hot enough, yes. Too much heat can even warp the rotors in some cases.
I would have said, "are you REALLY going to call it this time"!
As I'm sure you know never let someone else fly the plane even on the ground.
I had an ATC at RYN in Tucson vector me towards mexico. When he realized what he had done, ALBQ Center was on the Phone with him. Don't think it ended in a good way for him.

Nothing compares to Texas barbecue...lol
Interesting, controller @17:42 calls out 4 TD vs. 4DT. Guess you caught that slip and knew he was talking to you.
Ha ...where I work and taxi all the time...
I think the controller got excited and yelled “stop” not because of being angry, but because of knowing that even though you get faulted in an FAA report, surely he will also be named as “contributing factor”.
I think you’re right!
Could be but there was no reply from 4DT. The problem with "progressive" taxi is it turns the pilot into a checked out passenger.

the wife wants radar...if that type of flight is common maybe a good idea?
Radar = new plane as the retrofit would be cost prohibitive. My strategy is to remain in visual conditions any time I'm near convective buildup. You're right though, the wife does want radar :)
More training for ground controller. Said he would call left turn, never did.
13:54 - That face you make when you readin' some serious s***.
I would have filed a NASA report for that runway incursion.
Hi Steven. Technically, there was no incursion as I was able to come to a full stop just before the hold short line and received a clearance to cross in order to make the turnaround. Are you saying I should have still filed one?
@@MalibuFlyer I agree even though you didn't have an incursion it was still way too close, maybe filing will cause that guy to pay a little more attention next time.
@@MalibuFlyer You are completely correct, no runway incursion. NASA reports have a 10 day window to file. I follow the rule of when in doubt, file one. They don't cost anything, take a few minuets and the data collected helps focus training.
@@steventurner8493 Got it. Thanks for the reminder. I didn't even think to do it.
i was going to ask youall going for some bbq ribs
👏👍
Hey ground, I have a number for *you* to call. Advise when ready to copy.
Hmm. Not your fault.
What is your wife reading in the back?
Patrick Lengel a book
But you were going to do it until he yelled at you to "Stop, stop stop"
Hi Joe. I noticed the runway and stood on the brakes well before he said anything.
@@MalibuFlyer Ready to copy the number, got a paper and pen? Haha im joking, beautiful approaches and landings keep it up Captain. :)))
You might want to stay ahead of the Aircraft. Have your ILS, Tower and Ground Freq. in well BEFORE You Land!
The term will kill ya while flying doesn't make for a fun ride, Lol. Let me the hell out of this bird.
Nice doughter
You didn't do anything wrong. Foreflight could have helped you find the FBO and warn you of the approaching runway. Ground guy tried to screw you over like an examiner. I thought it was strange he asked you to keep speed up for a G-ride behind you, on the ground.
At lunch and at midnight Memphis is one of the busiest airports in the world. Had Fedex been launching they would have ate you up. You were totally not prepared and at fault for not having a airport diagram and familiarize yourself with the layout. You fly a nice complex aircraft but don't know how to find your way to the barn. One of my instructors once told me you have to fly yourself all the way to the barn, just because you land doesn't mean your done!
He has acknowledged all learning points, so your judgement isn't necessary nor helpful - unless it somehow makes you feel better?
@@droge192 He posted the video for the world to see so he opens himself up for comments.. with my comment maybe someone that reads this in the future will learn that Memphis isn't a place to stop for fuel at lunch or midnight
