The Pilot is one of the most professional 'General Aviation' guys I've ever seen, knowledgeable, professional, but calm cool and collected. It would be a real treat just to hang out at the hangar with him and just soak in all that knowledge.
The pilot is excellent. Highly professional, and obviously understands his aircraft very well. I think he meets his goal of flying at airline pilot standard.
It's amazing how professional you will be when its your family and not strangers only if all commercial airline pilots flew like this witch most of them do I work for one of the biggest airlines awesome video and will be sub and watching all the rest You can tell a good pilot by looking at his log book and the total take offs equal the number of landings
Mr. Osama is a commendable pilot. Quite encouraged to see that he treats his hobby with utmost respect, professionalism, and integrity. It is a pleasure to share the sky with such pilots.
Great video, thank you. Very VERY impressed with Mr Arafat's professionalism and skills. I may be in my 60's but if I ever grow up I would like to become as competent a pilot as he is.
It's always a joy to watch Osama fly. I have watched him fly a number of very cool aircraft and with his knowledge and his procedures, you would think he flew the single plane he's in daily as a career.
@BananaPeal0 Because reading from lists helps avoiding stupid mistakes like landing on retracted landing gear or misspelling common items like banana peels.
I love this video! Osama is the ultimate teacher and professional, and Chops is the kid in the candy store - just look at that grin throughout the entire video... The TBM850 is an awesome plane. Thank you for bringing us this video and belated congrats on Chops' US PPL, and Osama's ATP!
What a joy to watch this skilled pilot and his sidekick talking about the TBM and their flight over the Great Lakes...So many good planes...too soon old...so little time and too late to start learning now! Thanks for this excellent video! Very informative and interesting as well!
Awesome video! Love the technology in this plane and the explanations of Mr Arafat. He's one of few rich chaps that are actually cool and down-to-earth.
One of my favorite videos of yours. I love this aircraft. You're so fortunate to have developed such a good relationship with Osama and you guys make a great team.
One of the cool things about watching Flight Chops videos now is that when I see you working with ForeFlight on your iPad, I actually know what you're doing. Like my new camera, the iPod Mini 4 and ForeFlight have been some of the best purchases I have made in my whole life. Gaining my recurrency and learning ForeFlight at the same time makes for a steep learning curve... but I'm loving it!
I've been watching your videos for about a year now. I've watched so many of them that almost every time you upload, RUclips puts it in my recommended. Because of this, I didn't even notice I wasn't subscribed! Sorry it took me so long haha! I love your videos-they're so informative and entertaining. I like "saving up" a few uploads and then bingeing them. I can watch them for hours! Thanks for all the great content.

+Austin Bailey First and foremost work only for yourself, slaving for somebody else will never get you there. I see all fools who get sucked into the BS corp cube life....what a waste. Even if your digging ditches, make sure the ditch digging business is YOURS and not the mans!
Just waiting to takeoff at CYKF this afternoon and had the pleasure of watching/listening to this aircraft depart. It's amazing how these videos create a sense of community among pilots/students/enthusiasts. Keep up the good work Steve!
I'm very impressed with the pilot. He responds to atc commands instantly. Also impressive is you flight chops. You also are attentive and shut up during atc commands. Even though I brief my passengers some have been very annoying and jibber jabber and I have to turn off their intercom so I don't miss an instruction. Well done. Very enjoyable video. Nice flight.
Being passionate and always striving to be better, is always the best thing one can do to keep growing and it was clear that the TBM 850 owner passionately, loved his aircraft. This flightchops video represented more than a flight to Lake Ontario. To me, the video represented a culmination of passion, perfect video editing skills, encouragement to fly and an appreciation of these beautiful flying machines. I believe that as we become more modern and digitized in the world today, people are losing the value for flight and the idea that a human can fly in these machines. However, having seen such an enthusiastic co-pilot and owner(pilot) who clearly explains the different capabilities and flying processes involved with an aircraft, encourages me to continue training for my PPL, and strive to attain a Ferrari + TBM in a hangar too :D #BoseA20
Osama you might not be an airline pilot but you are a professional at hart. Nice to see a private pilot operating to airline standards. I wish you many safe flights in 2018.
Another great video, can't wait to see part 2. The owner/pilot (sorry missed his name) seems like a great guy, very professional, takes a lot of pride in his flying. That hangar, wow, that's cleaner than my kitchen! Hello from CYPQ! :-)
Can't lie, when I signed on RUclips I said "Oh sweet, Stevo has a new video!" I'm a huge fan of the both of you. I know I say this just about every video, but production quality is off the charts and I enjoyed the hell out of this. Also, side note - Osama seems like a great pilot - Was very impressed. Cheers
Great video, as always, Schteevie! Saw one of these babies on the ramp at KESN a few weeks ago -- what a gorgeous airplane. And this pilot is an impressive guy -- very professional, very proficient. Looking forward to Part 2!
Moar Osama please!. Very cool vid. I enjoyed how Osama was able to fly at ridiculous speeds, keep up with comms/procedures, all while giving great explanations as to what was going on.
Osama is a very professional pilot. My brother owns a Super Cheyenne, formerly a Navajo, and before that a Mooney Statesman. More attention is required with the faster and more complex aircraft. Some pilots step up to the plate and some don't. Osama has very obviously done his homework and applies it vigorously while flying.
You flew with Mr.Arafat! Awesome man, he is full of great stories and has done so much! Just a fascinating person all around (on top of being a great pilot) ,, great video
Another fantastic video - a real treat. I think the TBM is a beautiful machine. Also, my dad lives in Rochester so it'll be interesting to see a bit of the scenery, or even just the airport in part two. I've never been there.
Great video! I'm about to watch part 2 and catch more of your material, thanks for doing this. Osama is awesome too. I did notice one minor glitch that I can't help mentioning. At 5:15 you had that note that said “Beta = feathering the prop to reduce thrust”. Feathering is usually 90 degrees blade angle, like when you first saw the TBM. Its prop was knife-edged (feathered). After the engine is started the prop's blade angle is lowered from 90 down to a finer/lower blade angle. There is a hydro-mechanical system which minimizes that blade angle reduction at a set angle (18 degrees in a king air). When you select Beta (and then reverse if your PT-6 aircraft is so equipped) the blade angle is allowed to get even smaller = less thrust. So beta is smaller blade angle, feather is higher (highest actually) blade angle. Thanks again!!
WOW ... so cooooool. VERY entertaining and even more importantly VERY educational. Mr. Arafat is incredibly knowledgeable and professional. Love your videos. Keep up the GREAT work.
Hey Steve - finally got to watch today! Ha ha.. Got quite a surprise when I saw my "cameo" at 9:00! Thanks! Now I understand the full context of your reply ;) Looking forward to the WX improving - withdrawal is starting to set in.. Oh yeah - no need to say it, but awesome vid as per usual with one pro pilot!
Great video! I enjoy seeing your videos show the generosity in the aviation community. It is truly amazing how aviation can bring together people who normally never interact in our lives outside of the airport.
Another amazing video guys!! I am so jealous. That plane owner is the true model of what a GA plane owner should be. Nothing but professional, passionate, safe and enjoyable. I NEED that plane now :). Great job guys, keep it up!
I worked at Page Avjet in mid 80s & Piedmont. I nearly forgot about Piedmont. it was the worst job I ever had, far as real jobs & not day labor which was inspiring.
What a cool video FChops and what an amazing bird! Osama is very professional and describes things really well! I've been following you for a few months and really enjoy all of your videos, all are really well done! I'm a current student pilot with plans to get to commercial and hope to have at least a few of your cool flying experiences throughout the process! Looking forward to part 2 and keep up the great work you're doing for us aviation lovers! Safe skies!!
Oh man! I'm swooning over here! I feel lucky when I get to hug the landing gear on an 850, let alone sit in one and fly it! Great video. Keep it up! Waiting for part two......
The thought of a single prop scares me a bit. But it's so damn good! speed, power, agility, passengers, distance. And to be honest the price tag isn't bad! they nailed it down perfect.
4 days and 40,000+ views wow. couldn't help but to watch the entire flight! Seriously considering becoming a Patreon to get some more videos and stuff! Very very awesome editing too. You seriously have the best aviation channel on RUclips for content, editing and just overall production value! Looking forward to more content!
+Michael Carr Right on! thanks Michael! Happy to share! And for sure, check out the Patreon page - every little bit of support helps, and there is now a fairly large amount of exclusive content posted there - you just need to scroll through the feed to find the "patron only" posts :)
Great video. Mr. Arafat seems like a very classy guy. Just one point of clarification. All the part are actually not spinning in the same direction in a reverse flow engine. Although the compressor turbines are mechanically unlinked to the propeller turbines, they are however aerodynamically linked in opposite directions so as to cancel out counter torque effects.
+Sean Lohuddin Thanks and agreed - And to be clear, I don't think he meant ALL parts rotate in the SAME direction, but rather that a given part rotates in one direction... unlike a piston engine where a given part (like a piston or valve) is reversing direction constantly.
The PIC appears to show a high level of professionalism. Seems like a really nice guy to share the flight deck with. No doubt in my mind when he upgrades to a personal light jet he will transition very smoothly. Especially if he upgrades to something garmin based such as Phenom1/300 or a Honda Jet! Good Luck!
Great Video! I have been in love with the TBM 850 and 900 for many years now but haven't had a chance to fly it. It's the perfect step up for someone coming from a SR22 like the captain here or coming from a Cessna 400 like me.
I've flown this plane! Admittedly it was in Lockheed Martin's simulator software using a VR headset, but who cares :) Watching the video felt really familiar and the sound in the simulator was exactly the same as the real thing. So quiet and smooth. Only thing missing was the feelings and the smell of all that plush leather and walnut :(
Again thanks for taking me along this flight while still over here lol. I always can learn with these flight of yours. This TBM 850 is top spaceship. I hope be able to afford such a machine one day! Please, keep up the great job you've been doing. I think you make it with a unique creativeness of yourself, which is very cool! Fly safe and success.
What a beaut! Very nice Steve. I am sure at landing time things happen fast in this one. You have to be ahead of the airplane. This is no C172! Thanks for posting!
Strive to be the best - the difference between a good pilot and a great pilot. Hat's off to you Osama, inspirational. Great video again Steve! As for instrumentation preferences, I prefer the individual gauges too, although a well designed PFD (something like the Collins Proline) can be a great asset for IFR situational awareness when you're in the goop. VFR you should really be eyes outside so minimal internal distraction is paramount. Political conversation anyone...!
The Pilot is one of the most professional 'General Aviation' guys I've ever seen, knowledgeable, professional, but calm cool and collected. It would be a real treat just to hang out at the hangar with him and just soak in all that knowledge.
+Joseph Atkins I'd love to take a flight with him
A long time ago, someone said..."If you want success, buy a meal with a successful person!"
+Joseph Atkins I think exactly the same!
The pilot is excellent. Highly professional, and obviously understands his aircraft very well. I think he meets his goal of flying at airline pilot standard.
+Ben Kolbeck He is more professional than some atps!
yes, agreed
+kabaddiify Obama is actually Osama in Kenyan.
It's amazing how professional you will be when its your family and not strangers only if all commercial airline pilots flew like this witch most of them do I work for one of the biggest airlines awesome video and will be sub and watching all the rest
You can tell a good pilot by looking at his log book and the total take offs equal the number of landings
For the several people above, either you are bad at jokes or you are bad as a human being...
Ferrari f12 and a TBM850, this man is life goals, very inspiring
Daniel Charles but one thing is sure, he loves flying and the aircraft, so congratulations to him
Does he have his own RUclips channel...
@eixid - Classic. Great choice 👌🏼
If I had the money to afford that TBM850 I would try my darndest to find a F40 LM.
@eixid .. and buy a Mig-29 if they dropped a 0, or two, off of the price.
www.businessinsider.com/mig-29-for-sale-for-465-million-2019-1
Truly an awesome combination: The TBM 850 with its natural powerplant, the PT6.
Mr. Osama is a commendable pilot. Quite encouraged to see that he treats his hobby with utmost respect, professionalism, and integrity. It is a pleasure to share the sky with such pilots.
Great video, thank you. Very VERY impressed with Mr Arafat's professionalism and skills. I may be in my 60's but if I ever grow up I would like to become as competent a pilot as he is.
You have a wonderful friend who takes the time to show and teach you. He obviously loves to fly and a very generous man.
+Brett O'Berry - yes I really appreciated this!
It's always a joy to watch Osama fly. I have watched him fly a number of very cool aircraft and with his knowledge and his procedures, you would think he flew the single plane he's in daily as a career.

He explains things so well he should be a TBM demo pilot
+Gary Veduccio I'd take a lesson from him!
Gary Veduccio I want him as a flight instructor
Gary Veduccio he loves the flight and the plane, aviation is about PASSION
He explains things incredibly well... I totally agree..
Listening to the pilot talk back and forth between you and the radio was like so flawless
This guy is one hell of a pilot...good to see someone who knows EVERYTHING about their aircraft.
Man, watching your face light up during startup says it all! 4:00 It's like the rising pitch of the spooling turbine builds the anticipation!
What a joy to watch this skilled pilot and his sidekick talking about the TBM and their flight over the Great Lakes...So many good planes...too soon old...so little time and too late to start learning now! Thanks for this excellent video! Very informative and interesting as well!
Awesome video!

+Sharpsdoublerifle Very well put. I recently went into business for myself, best decision of my life.
Absolutely amazing, I really envy you bud. Flying is what I miss most from my days with the Army Aviation. All the more I do appreciate your Videos.
+TheNorthernAlex Thanks! and thanks for your service!
simple good subtle tip right from the start...have two checklists...one for the pilot and one for the safety pilot/passenger
+Gary Veduccio Exactly - I thought the same.
15:09 "Sublime" nice! As a chemist and music fan, i approve.
Just waiting to takeoff at CYKF this afternoon and had the pleasure of watching/listening to this aircraft depart. It's amazing how these videos create a sense of community among pilots/students/enthusiasts. Keep up the good work Steve!
Another top notch production. Glad to see Steveo and Flight Chops talking on here! Very professional piloting, good all the way around!
That man seems to have it all figured out for himself! And he is a very good pilot to top it off!
Very inspiring indeed
I'm very impressed with the pilot. He responds to atc commands instantly. Also impressive is you flight chops. You also are attentive and shut up during atc commands.

Osama you might not be an airline pilot but you are a professional at hart. Nice to see a private pilot operating to airline standards. I wish you many safe flights in 2018.
Thank you Vincent. You'll be happy to know that I got my ATP license this summer!
I stumbled on this as a YT recommended" video. Man, am I glad I did. I thought Osama was a great pilot and such a nice guy. Thanks for sharing that.
Another great video, can't wait to see part 2.
The owner/pilot (sorry missed his name) seems like a great guy, very professional, takes a lot of pride in his flying. That hangar, wow, that's cleaner than my kitchen! Hello from CYPQ! :-)
What a nice and professional man...that owner!! A great airplane to fly. A joy to watch.
+Steven Van Loven I love the TBM 850

I know I say this just about every video, but production quality is off the charts and I enjoyed the hell out of this. Also, side note - Osama seems like a great pilot - Was very impressed. Cheers
Yeah when I saw flight chops and them tbm 850 I thought he was flying with Steveokinevo that would make a really nice video
+Major Moore wait for it.... :)
What a reassuringly knowledgeable and competent pilot that guy is.
Great video, as always, Schteevie! Saw one of these babies on the ramp at KESN a few weeks ago -- what a gorgeous airplane. And this pilot is an impressive guy -- very professional, very proficient. Looking forward to Part 2!
The TBM 900 is my plane of choice ...when I win the lotto
Moar Osama please!.
Very cool vid. I enjoyed how Osama was able to fly at ridiculous speeds, keep up with comms/procedures, all while giving great explanations as to what was going on.
+279seb I know right? That really impressed me - he never skipped a beat!
Professional flying. He's like a TBM Guido!
+Eric Jin Haha - totally!
I had no idea it was a french plane. Magnificent !
You can just feel how much he loves flying. That is inspiring.
Osama is a very professional pilot. My brother owns a Super Cheyenne, formerly a Navajo, and before that a Mooney Statesman. More attention is required with the faster and more complex aircraft. Some pilots step up to the plate and some don't. Osama has very obviously done his homework and applies it vigorously while flying.
+csiastu csiastu Agreed. It was a pleasure to fly with him.
Great video Steve. I enjoyed the grin that spread across your face during start up and rotation.
+shamansvision thanks! and yes, it was a rush!
You flew with Mr.Arafat! Awesome man, he is full of great stories and has done so much! Just a fascinating person all around (on top of being a great pilot) ,, great video
Steve1Kinevo is the best channel on youtube to learn about the TBM. Flightchops is awesome, dont get me wrong, thanks for the vid

+CPsVids Thanks Chris! I figured you'd enjoy that. :)
What a dream- like the TBM so much. Cruising single turbo prob at FL 300. Incredible!
We have the same watch; almost makes me feel as cool as this dude. Another great video Schteevie.
Just a smooth professional Captain. I can't believe he is just flying for hobby. he looks like someone who does this day in day out.
+Naren Pillai - I will forward this comment to him, he'd appreciate it :)
Thanks, Salute his passion. Reminds me of we boys who play Flight Simulators and think we are real life pilots. :)
Great video! I enjoy seeing your videos show the generosity in the aviation community. It is truly amazing how aviation can bring together people who normally never interact in our lives outside of the airport.
I'm starting to love this plane nearly as much as the Pilatus PC12!
Osama Arafat. What a name. He's by far one of the most no-nosense professionals I've seen over the years. And a sweet plane too.
Great video on the TBM850! Thank you Mr. Arafat for making this possible thanks FC for putting this all together.
Another amazing video guys!! I am so jealous. That plane owner is the true model of what a GA plane owner should be. Nothing but professional, passionate, safe and enjoyable. I NEED that plane now :). Great job guys, keep it up!
From Rochester myself, actually remember hearing this audio on broadcastify. Very cool.
I worked at Page Avjet in mid 80s & Piedmont. I nearly forgot about Piedmont. it was the worst job I ever had, far as real jobs & not day labor which was inspiring.
What a cool video FChops and what an amazing bird! Osama is very professional and describes things really well! I've been following you for a few months and really enjoy all of your videos, all are really well done! I'm a current student pilot with plans to get to commercial and hope to have at least a few of your cool flying experiences throughout the process! Looking forward to part 2 and keep up the great work you're doing for us aviation lovers! Safe skies!!
+djvectrex thanks! enjoy your training!
At 5:10, you don't feather when you go in beta. You flatten your blades. It's basically the opposite of feathering but gives the same result on taxi.
Great video, thanks for this. The pilot did a great job explaining everything. Id love to see the long version of this video
+Luxor 7 It's posted on the exclusive Patreon supporter feed now - are you part of the campaign?
Great video as always! I love the TBM. It has to be one of my favorite airplanes. Im looking forward to part 2!
*FlightChops* I realize that this video is a few years old, but it is absolutely excellent. Thank you for sharing this.
Cool video Osama. Very nice looking plane. Steveo...you have a very nice plane also. Great videos from both of you.
Pilot Osama knows all about the TBM 850 and they explains all professional. Thanks for sharing.
Great video I enjoyed it big time, Im a retired US Army Blackhawk pilot now flying EMS helicopters (Bell 407GX( GX as in Garmin 1000
+Dustoff85 Awesome! Thanks!
What a great pilot he is. So knowledgeable. More of him if possible please !
+TheMeslava Agreed! There is a part 2 of this one PLUS we're working on an other adventure for the summer!
Oh man! I'm swooning over here! I feel lucky when I get to hug the landing gear on an 850, let alone sit in one and fly it! Great video. Keep it up! Waiting for part two......
Eye watering!! The most professional GA pilot I have ever witnessed! Thanks for sharing.
The thought of a single prop scares me a bit. But it's so damn good! speed, power, agility, passengers, distance. And to be honest the price tag isn't bad! they nailed it down perfect.
Every video, every flippin' video you're getting to such cool flights. Keep it up !!!
+bumpf1 It's the community! This is an awesome group of people - I'm happy to share the different stories and adventures!
+FlightChops Enjoying flying vicariously with you and it's great motivation for me to keep looking for opportunities locally !!
This guy really knows his plane and is a very safe/smart pilot. Brilliant video, sounds like a nice guy too :)
4 days and 40,000+ views
wow. couldn't help but to watch the entire flight!
Seriously considering becoming a Patreon to get some more videos and stuff!
Very very awesome editing too.
You seriously have the best aviation channel on RUclips for content, editing and just overall production value!
Looking forward to more content!
+Michael Carr Right on! thanks Michael! Happy to share! And for sure, check out the Patreon page - every little bit of support helps, and there is now a fairly large amount of exclusive content posted there - you just need to scroll through the feed to find the "patron only" posts :)

Great Video! I have been in love with the TBM 850 and 900 for many years now but haven't had a chance to fly it. It's the perfect step up for someone coming from a SR22 like the captain here or coming from a Cessna 400 like me.
What a pleasant video to watch. The airplane is amazing, the pilot knows the aircraft and clearly loves to fly. Thanks for sharing!
Osama should be a flight instructor.
Great Stuff!
More Osama Please!
What an incredibly beautiful machine. My word!
I'm impressed how much he knows about his aircraft.
I've flown this plane! Admittedly it was in Lockheed Martin's simulator software using a VR headset, but who cares :) Watching the video felt really familiar and the sound in the simulator was exactly the same as the real thing. So quiet and smooth. Only thing missing was the feelings and the smell of all that plush leather and walnut :(
I wonder if they could bottle that smell and then spray it at you while you're flying the simulator 😉😆
Thank you for including the checklists and other helpful things.
WOW, nice aircraft. I have flown the "littlebrother" TB9 for 15 years, but this is a wet dream :-)
Rode with a friend in his TBM on a Lifeline Pilots trip. What an amazing machine.
TBM is my lotto winning airplane of choice. Great idea for using 2 checklist for training.
What a nice man Osama is. So intelligent , so articulate . Great vid...
Really enjoyed the video Steve. Still got some real great content! I cant wait till more comes out, Flight Chops for the win always!
Most people talk about what their dreamcar would be. I don't. I talk about my dream aircraft, and this would be it. Awesome video.
Awesome plane and an awesome demonstration from Mr. Arafat.
I remember Osama from the Article in Canadian Aviator a while back. Nice to see he's still doing well!
Wow. Very knowledgeable owner/pilot!
There are some very fortunate people and this guy is one of them! Thanks for sharing the experience.
He started a number of tech businesses, made them successful and sold them.
I am in love with this channel, factual, educational and all bundled up in nice edits.
Again thanks for taking me along this flight while still over here lol. I always can learn with these flight of yours. This TBM 850 is top spaceship. I hope be able to afford such a machine one day! Please, keep up the great job you've been doing. I think you make it with a unique creativeness of yourself, which is very cool! Fly safe and success.
I've become a huge fan of the TBM. Love Osama's plane. =)
What a beaut!
Very nice Steve. I am sure at landing time things happen fast in this one. You have to be ahead of the airplane. This is no C172!
Thanks for posting!
Better than a 172?? I'm jealous of the opportunities you get all the time. Excited to see more videos!
Very flash ride, its almost enough to make me want enough money to go out and buy one ! Thanks again Chops, enjoy your chan.
Strive to be the best - the difference between a good pilot and a great pilot. Hat's off to you Osama, inspirational. Great video again Steve!
As for instrumentation preferences, I prefer the individual gauges too, although a well designed PFD (something like the Collins Proline) can be a great asset for IFR situational awareness when you're in the goop. VFR you should really be eyes outside so minimal internal distraction is paramount. Political conversation anyone...!
