Question from a fellow Ho driver. Why flaps up before gear up? To everyone commenting on the no run-up, it was probably not the first flight of the day. I only do a Runup on the first flight.
as a PA31 pilot , I say that this guy forgot to put the gear up! probably why he had flaps up before gear up. The POH never mention any procedures like this :P
1. No run up. 2. Jams the manifold pressure to full, no easing. 3. No sync of the props at all on T/O 4. RETRACTING FLAP AT ABOUT 100'!?!?!? VSI sat on zero! 5. Lights off THEN GEAR?!?!?!? What the hell is this guy doing? Jesus what a hack.
Run up or no run up doesn’t make any difference other than give you a false assurance..if you want to do it then it is ok if not still doesn’t really do anything anyway..I have seen an engine fail on take off even after a run up..personally I will still do a run up but I don’t see less of those who didn’t do it. It is only a very short flight and if anything goes wrong you goes to the water..there is nothing to it..just make sure you have a life vest at ready.
I don't work wherever this was but I do fly chieftains. 1. We run up before we board 2. I don't think he jammed it forward he took about 3-5 seconds which is about normal for us 3. You sync props in the climb not during takeoff 4. Yeah I was expecting gear up soon not flaps. We retract at 200agl. If we even use them which is only short gravel strips. Not sure why he had them down 5. Yeah we worry about lights after setting climb power in out after takeoff checks. So I got nothing for that
But also noticed on take off the speed wasn't building as should. 100 knots and not climbing fast. Navajo is dangerous plane. Because its Big Best with 425bhp engines. Safer. More power
The Navajo is a very sensitive girl, you jam the throttles like that and yank the props back like you did, that cat will eventually teach you a lesson. Depending on how bad you have treated her, it could really hurt!
Where the hell are you at Bubba??...Sure is good to see you and the family are doing well on youtube here....Glad to see you are using that pilots licence.
As a long time Navajo pilot, great video. Stalled it right on the deck, heard the horn. Even a rain shower to clean off the dust. Nice job.

And fuel pumps off before gear up, at the same time, without checking the fuel pressure...
If Larry Hillblom was still alive it could have been him ;)

Run-ups could've been completed before passengers boarded.

Looks like the dude is driving a bus
The Navajo is a great airplane

I would not fly without garmen 600 synthetic vision. I would be paranoid about hills all the time.
Very nice video of my most favorite cabin class twin! The Piper Navajo is a great and very handsome looking bird!
A non-checklist flight. Didn't see the engine run up before take off!!.. Do not feel too confident about your memory!!. Happy landings.
All of the pilots who fly here don't use the flight checklist. That only goes to these kinds of planes.
You can see the overgrown remnants of the four B-29 blacktop runways of WWII Tinian.

Ele recolheu primeiro o flap ao invés do trem de pouso.
it buzzes like a bumblebee! great!
the beaches in Tinian are UNBELIEVEABLE!!(so are ALL the damn spiders lol).. the pilots are great! flew us to and from saipan! i cant wait to go back
Where the hell are you at Bubba??...Sure is good to see you and the family are doing well on youtube here....Glad to see you are using that pilots licence.
Nice video. You've got a great job. Take off, Land, Take off, Land and never go over 1000 ft. No boring long cruises. (:
Hahahaa....the old power to idle...two hands on the wheel....chieftain...lololol
Pardon my ignorance of newer video techniques, but what type of camera/stabilizer rig did you use to get that steadicam look?
I didn't like him touching the controls on MY side of the airplane!
What's the phrase for "super ballsy" in Saipan? Well done!
Belo panel that avionics are these, u can tell you where to buy them?
The airport there is 300' msl???
2 birds too close for comfort at 8:34
The dude needs a little dual and a shave.
