I am a 83 year old senior who last flew as PIC in 1968. Four months ago I became interested in flying again. Your videos have been fantastic and very educational for me. Thank you for taking the time to publish your videos. May GOD be with you and family.
Love your video’s. They’re our favorite (wife and I). Appreciate your honesty and beautiful family. We sold our ‘83 Mooney 201 and are retired. Your videos bring back wonderful memories of our flying adventures.
Life does get in the way. Glad to see you back. The Malibu is my second favorite. My first is the 602P Aerostar I use to fly many moons ago. I see you moved out of the valley of the sun. I loved visiting AZ when my mother lived in Mesa. Just loved it there. Retirement? I'm envious! I have 2 yrs, 9 mos, 23 days but who's counting!
I am seated in my coach , down here in the French alps, And I am thinking about all your time , money on your equipments and dedication put In your videos. I thank you for that. It reminds to many like me , how good flying is , especially flying IMC. Cheers from France.
Sir your videos are always top notch.Thanks for sharing part of your your flying and personal life.Best wishes for you and your family.Greetings from Greece.
Glad you're closer to Texas, and perhaps will visit us more often now vs. "flying over" on your travels to Florida. I'm from the DFW area and would welcome your family anytime you are out this way. God Bless you, sir.
Great to see you back!. Congrats on the retirement, new home, daughters marriage.. You said you were home in this video, no more Phoenix?? As a gilbert resident, that make me sad.. I wish you the best and post what you got, we love your style and plane...
You are flying my dream airplane. I once thought that I wanted a twin, but a pressurized single piston (which means a Malibu other than maybe the P210) is really what I want someday! My wife is from Fort Smith so we fly in to KFSM all the time. Beautiful area of the country. I hanger out of 07F Gladewater which is right down the highway from Alert Field. I love your panel too. Keep the videos coming.
Great flight and enjoyed the video...! Assume weight and balance were within limits with 2 passengers in the far back of the plane and 1 up front. Did not think about it until seeing how long the nose gear stayed off the runway when landing.
Wow, you did have your hands full with life. Check out 310 pilots DE-icing boot repair, 18:44 in the video. A valve was causing the pumps to fail. Blessings!
So good to hear that you'll be posting more videos! I love the channel! it's cool to see that your in Arkansas now. we're close to Springfield, MO. look forward to seeing flying beautiful Malibu with your amazing family!
So home is Springdale. Both of my children live in Fayetteville after graduating the UofA. I really like your videos. While I had my plane we made many trips to KFYV.
MAP fluctuations at 3:00 was concerning. Hadn't noticed such variations before. Time to use the ears and other engine parameters to be confident. Never saw that in T210. Curious if one of the turbos / waste gates are messing with ya.
Although it did look concerning, as the pilot sitting there in the aircraft, he'd have been able to determine quickly whether it was the actual MAP that was fluctuating (there'd be changes in engine note and vibration) or simply the *reading* that was problematic. Our friend seemed confident that the issue was limited purely to the sensor.
Sorry to hear you left Mesa.We live in Gold Canyon and looking to head back to Buffalo area after I retire 2 more years to go.Will be a snowbird.115-118 degrees all this week in Phoenix.Great time to sell a house in Phoenix at this time.
Your my neighbor now! Going to lunch in fayettvillle today to visit family from TX! I rent a 172 out of KFSM. Was in Springdale last Friday! Super nice restaurant in Bentonville. Very short hop!
VFR or not, interesting or not just post the footage anyway! I love to see any aviation videos! Hope to see Katey in a video soon again! Her husband is a lucky man. God bless y’all!
👍☑️ YES your back! Texas, BBQ, rain and crying ...... sounds like a country song just waiting to be "writ" (don't know how the flying and vacuum pump would fit in though)
@@MalibuFlyer - It was a perfect technique on the narrow Springdale runway. Aero braking like that slashes the stopping distances and saves $$$ on brake consumables. Great job!
I love your videos, I follow you for 2 years now. One question for my understanding please: what's the link between the anti icing boots and the vacuum pump? Thanx Carl from Martinique FWI
SInce you're only having issues when it rains with the JPI, I'm inclined to believe that you're getting a water short somewhere in the wiring harness under the cowling. But, that's just a guess. I hope by the time you read this, it's already fixed, and of course, a new vacuum pump as well.
You commented that you were “painting” the area of moderate precipitation. Unless I’m mistaken it doesn’t look like you have onboard active radar which this statement implies. There are numerous cautionary accident reports out there where pilots think that these can be used interchangeably, while in fact they give very different information. Need to consider limitations of nexrad data when using to navigate through and around weather. Love your videos!
Tim, I was going to comment on something similiar. I didn't think he had onboard radar, and the 'painting' comment implies that he has the capability to detect it himself. So, I agree with you.
Dont stress the "uninteresting" content! As a pilot, that is a GOOD thing! =0) Glad y'all are ok, lemme know if you want to fly if you are in Denton, tx ever.
Malibu Flyer. When ever you see Linda Wilkins it is really me Dennis. She set up the log on and used her name so that is how is shows up. Are you a cigar smoker by chance? Dennis
Thanks again for sharing your interesting trips! Glad to see you are back in the skies again. Sounds like you moved out of AZ now in AR? Retirement, you're too young to retire! Looks like your Manifold pressure was reading accurately once you reduced power on landing? When you reset your JPI it sort of gave me the impression on myself resetting my Tesla main screen when things go awry! Next time you are going through the weather, could you explain how your Garmin G-500 shows the weather ahead but I think it is delayed slightly so you would not use in Thunderstorms right? Thanks again for the great footage. Love your PA-46 Malibu!
@@freshwaterguideservice I disagree. He said that this is an ongoing issue and that it only happens in the rain. I'm more inclined to believe that he has some sort of water intrusion in the wiring harness under the cowling. While the vacuum pump failure might have caused some slight indications, he has two pumps, and his vacuum, even after the failure, was still pulling 4". He would have needed to see the vacuum gauge jumping all over the place to have it correlate to the MP reading on the JPI. Since he said it only happens in the rain, it couldn't have been the pump.
@@freshwaterguideservice he wasn't wide-open throttle. He wasn't even pulling 30" of MP, which remember, the Malibu is a turbocharged engine. If he was WOT, it would probably be between 35 and 38" of MP
@@whomitmayconcern don't put yourself down. I could be very wrong, and have been many times in the past when I thought I knew what I was talking about. Hopefully he'll share with us in the future what the issue was, and then we'll both definitely know for sure!

Hey! I love your videos, I have been watch them for a couple of years now and all you content is really interesting. But as you said you have not been uploading because the content you have been gathering is not very "interesting". Honestly all content of flying for us is interesting, would love to watch most of the footage you have been gathering. Please upload more if you have more footage! More videos - more content - more viewership! Thanks and blue skies
Not fun when airplanes act up. That manifold pressure and oil temp feel like a connector or ground issue to me. Hope you can get everything fixed with minimum cash extraction from your wallet. Take care.

Welcome back. Congrats on retirement and wedding, and the move. Retirement is a great phase of life I highly recommend it.
VFR content is fun to watch and adds value to those of us who enjoy all phases of flying!
Value is subjective. We're fellow aviators. We love all the videos, vfr short hops, long ifr/imc cross countries or anything in between. Thanks!
Thanks for the perspective. I needed that,.
I agree
Glad to have you back, we are going to miss Katie and her smile, humor and math skills.

Us non flyers enjoy any flight. Sometimes it’s therapeutic after a stressful day just to watch a flight. Thanks for sharing.
Videos. VFR flights are just fine and never boring. We all enjoy riding along at any time.

Glad to see you again
Lots of great bbq in the Texas hill country.
Just found your channel via Aviation101 ... Love your aircraft in this video. you certainly endured some weather!! :) that BBQ sounds great !!
👍☑️ YES your back! Texas, BBQ, rain and crying ...... sounds like a country song just waiting to be "writ" (don't know how the flying and vacuum pump would fit in though)
Nice wheelie!!!! 👍🏻
Hah! I was wondering if anyone would notice that one. A little aerodynamic braking never hurts...
@@MalibuFlyer - It was a perfect technique on the narrow Springdale runway. Aero braking like that slashes the stopping distances and saves $$$ on brake consumables. Great job!
Thanks for sharing another video. When are we going to see some more flying from the newest pilot in the family?
Not sure about that. She's pretty occupied with being a newlywed and trying to learn how to cook :)
Need to try some places in Lockhart TX. ;0)
Congrats to Katie!! Is she still flying?
You’re currently flying my favorite plane on RUclips! I hope we see more of you, but at a comfortable pace for you. 🙂
I love your videos, I follow you for 2 years now. One question for my understanding please: what's the link between the anti icing boots and the vacuum pump? Thanx
Carl from Martinique FWI
The vacuum pump is what supplies the air to inflate the ice boots.
SInce you're only having issues when it rains with the JPI, I'm inclined to believe that you're getting a water short somewhere in the wiring harness under the cowling. But, that's just a guess. I hope by the time you read this, it's already fixed, and of course, a new vacuum pump as well.
Let the hair go brother! Own it. It’ll look great!
nice pic on turn on the left base of the airport and plane
How did you ever get a 27 knot tailwind ? Lol !
Gate 12 grill at CLL is spot on too. It’s owned by J Cody’s BBQ in bryan. I ha e a grass strip about 40m from there.

Hi Linda. Thank you and yes, we are living in Elm Springs now and love it here. All except the humidity... :)

I’m having a similar panel installed in my Baron. I’ve got a few questions for you. Is there a way to DM you?
Hi Mike. knakatsu at gmail.com will work.
Welcome to Arkansas !!
Thanks again for sharing your interesting trips! Glad to see you are back in the skies again. Sounds like you moved out of AZ now in AR? Retirement, you're too young to retire!

Thanks again for the great footage. Love your PA-46 Malibu!
I will do that. Thanks for the suggestion.
What is the red lights blinking above your PFD? Looks concerning. Is it simply engine monitor data?
Correct. That's just the remote display for manifold pressure and RPM.
@@MalibuFlyer cool. Should be in a different color than red! Made me think something was wrong. Great videos, thanks for sharing
Nice video. Is Katie still piloting? Hope to see you post soon

Hi Jack. Not that often since she is newly married. My guess is she'll be on the ground for awhile.
Welcome back!
You moved to Arkansas?
Yes we did.
College Station!!! Love it!
Hello sir is it safe to fly a Melibu over the 300 nm of ocean. Please reply ASAP
Not without adequate divert airfields, I wouldn't say. Single Engine Piston, pressurized aircraft is a high risk factor over 300nm uniterrupted ocean.
So you moved from Arizona , to hot out there , nice video ..
21:00 - mountaintop? knoll at best :-)
I'm from Arizona, I should know better... :)
2:09 Well, at least you didn't say "Here's the flash".
I'll be darn... I have family on my dad's side in Springdale.
Sounds like the Plane is getting close to its Annual.
Nice Wheelie :)

Just a simple question: depart on a single engine, single pilot, IMC... why?!
If your proficient its not bad theres tons of NTSB reports of duals going down in imc
Is your question a serious one? Single pilot IFR in a single piston happens every few minutes.
