For many of us it's a dream to fly with our family. Last week you saw me flying with the kids and today I'm flying with my wife Magda. I always find myself raising my personal minimums any time the family is on board and this flight is no exception. While it was certainly a stable day, the ceilings were right about as low as I would want them for a flight with Magda. Enjoy it! - Jason
Hats off for flying the pattern and not doing the easy straight-in. If everyone did this, conflicts and mid-airs would would almost disappear.
Amen!
Correct!
Yep appreciated! And as you know, flying the downwind gives you the opportunity to look at the runway and make sure there are no obstructions, wildlife, etc 👍🏻
Great decision to enter the pattern as you did. My CFI drilled into my brain "There are only two ways to enter the pattern, (1) 45 into the downwind when approaching from that side of the airport, or (2) overfly the field at 500-1000 above TPA and then execute a teardrop turn 45 into the downwind. Always fly left traffic unless right traffic is specified in the chart supplement or on the VFR sectional." Notice that straight-in, left base entry or right base entry are not amongst the two! HA!
I agree 100% Sounds like you had a great CFI
That part of the country is mostly unfamiliar with most people. Having lived there for a few years on St. Simons, I'm glad no one knows about it! For you: Awesome avionics, beautiful airplane, and a beautiful wife! Life is good!
Great video Jason! Have an awesome Christmas!
Another great video. Thanks guys😁
Awesome video! Met you two at Oshkosh this summer. My longest cross country ever! Hope you had a great time at Jekyll!
Great video!!! Have a great Christmas!!!
Amazing video !! Enjoy Jason and Magda !! ❤❤
Great video and a fun time with your wife. Need to talk my wife into flying more with me. Happy Holidays, Jason and Magda!
Have a great time there - Happy holidays to you guys ;-)
Wonderful and thanks for the ride-along 😍. It's been thirty years since I had the yoke in my hand and miss it terribly. I was only VFR and finally watching an IFR within a single engine aircraft I was amazed! The instruments and controls made me want to start all over 🙆♂️! I've settled with FPV Drone flying at my age now seeing while up in the blue skies 😍
Another great video.
You videos are ❤ Lots of new things learned.
That ATC controller could have made that 270 request a whole lot easier by giving him a heading…
Wasn't that crazy!? I felt bad for the pilot because I would have made the same mistake.
@@MzeroAFlightTraining Ida made the same mistake as well!!
That was an @$$ move by the controller. I find most of them to be very pleasant and helpful most of the time but like everything else there has to be one in every crowd.
Pretty poor from the controller. Not the kind of situation where you want ambiguity with the heading.
I disagree. Nothing was ambiguous about the controller issuing a left 270. He never said “turn left heading 270”. All pilots should know the difference. Additionally, while you may think the controller was being a butthead, he was caught surprise by the fact that the pilot did not follow his instructions and was now in a situation where he had to give the pilot an immediate heading to avoid the conflict. Btw, 32 years as a controller and 50 years as a pilot.
KAPF. My home airport. From May - Nov you can pretty much anticipate what you’re going to get from the tower. . After that it’s be prepared for anything from the tower. Makes it interesting and keeps you sharp. Thanks for the video.
Happy Holidays to Jason and to all of the viewers as well! Cheers!
Great video. Reminds me of the times I took my girl friend (now my wife) on dinner dates and other travels. The newer planes, even the SR20, have so much better avionics and autopilot than my old 1966 Mooney M20C. I really miss flying as my only outlet now is videos like yours and MSFS 2020 simulation. I hope you enjoyed your stay at Jekyll Island.
After reading "Creature From Jekyll Island" twice, it was fulfilling to actually see the place so thank you!
Hey guys. Great vid!
Nice video, pls make more of those 👍👍
29:34 I felt you on that one! First time we flew there a few years ago we had a HARD time finding that little island!
You are right. Sr20 takes some getting used to after flying the SR22. Feels like the ground roll takes forever 😮
Stopped there for lunch in our SR22 a few years ago, on our way from Raleigh to Tampa. Such a unique and little known area.
Winter in Jekyll is my favorite time of year! Not hot at all.
Great video 😀 tea for 2
I grew up in Fond du Lac. And w called it "EAA". We're never going to call it "Oshkosh". Thats a city for us and is used much more frequently than one week in late July.
"Are you going to Oshkosh?" is a much more generic question for someone who lives in the area.
As far as straight ins go i am totally on board with always doing a pattern. But 09J might be an exception.
When landing 36 KSSI is normally going to be landing 04. And YATGY at 1600 is the FAF for RNAV 4 SSI and that fix is right in the left downwind for 36 at 09J. Given the amount of jet traffic into KSSI, the straight in looks pretty good to me.
What do you think?
Picking up some P-Static going through those clouds.
Just remember that you are in the pattern for SSI while on the downwind for 09J. It is safer if there is no one in the pattern in Jekyll to make a straight in to rwy 36. There are many planes shooting the approach into SSI straight in and there is conflict with the downwind traffic at Jekyll.
Great video Jason. I have one question. In the video it appears that you announced being cleared of the runway on your rollout before you exited the runway. Was this a timing discrepancy in the voice over editing?
34:35 “You were right, I should listen to you more often.” Not just great aviation advice, but also great relationship advice too! 😅
14:28 "You want some?" "No, thanks, I already had some." lol
How did you get from the airport to anything interesting? My wife and I finally visited St Simon and took a drive over there...had to check out the airport it is so simple it feels like a private airport...and funny we started taking pics with the driftwood and then saw wow they attract bugs go figure
Headed down to 09J for the first time in a week or so (as soon as my Cherokee comes out of annual ). Just curious , where did you stay on Jekyll Island ? Did you have to rent a car ?
I must have missed a few Vids... When did you get a Cirrus?
Gulfstreams are beautiful, but I'm unabashedly a Dassault Falcon man myself. Jason I've seen you fly a couple different Cirrus aircraft now...Is this a side hustle?
He's finally seen the light! HA!
Can I make a recommendation. Why not setup Microsoft Flight Simulator at home, and before you fly to a strange airport - go in-game and make that "strange" destination airport your home airport, and do some Left/Right Traffic (as permissable) patterns to familiarize yourself with it and the surrounds - thus when you go in real life you will be better prepared? Just a suggestion! Obviously you can also Fly some of the approaches too!
Rainbow. 16:30 😊
I hope I get to be a pilot one day so I can take my wife by plane as well 😢
Hey Jason, how tall are you? Great video.
6'4 and still growing hahaha
@@MzeroAFlightTraining so am I.
Not sure how the FARs read but at an uncontrolled airport, especially a busy one, I'd be calling out a color rather than a tail number. - 1000+ hour virtual pilot😂😂
With God all your eternal problems are solved. With a good wife your earthy problems are solved as well
Amen!
Your faith comes through to a fellow believer with every video you shoot. You are a reinforcing influence to fellow believers and a positive influence on future believers.
Your videos and books helped me with my commercial and instrument ratings and yes, a good pilot is always learning. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Bill.@@MzeroAFlightTraining
Which wife is this?
Pretty funny how you the comments turned off on your JFK nonsense from 7 years ago.
