  • Today we take the Bonanza from Southern California to Silicon Valley! I work from home as a full-time software engineer, and in today's video, we fly the Bonanza up to visit my in-person office for a team event. Thanks for watching!
    Answers to Frequently Asked Questions:
    I work remotely, so I only do this trip about twice a year or less. Fun fact, it's more efficient for me to fly my airplane than to drive my car for this trip!
    I work as a mobile app developer, mostly focusing on iOS development
    My airplane is a 1952 C35 Bonanza, so it's 70 years old!
    Route: KCMA KSQL KCMA
    I’m flying to EAA Airventure 2022! Follow my Instagram @bayflight for real-time updates on what I’m doing at Oshkosh.

Your skill and knowledge level is amazing for the amount of time you have been flying. You make this look easy, yet you are flying in some of the most complex airspace in the country. There are people who are just born to be pilots, and you are clearly one of them. I'm flying into San Carlos tomorrow and I know I am going to be way more stressed about this than you were!

Also, as an engineer - test pilot and astronaut is also viable. Just saying - if you ever see those guys/gals and wonder "if I could do that" - I'm here to tell you the odds are excellent.

Unfortunately where I lived precluded me realizing that dream. And shortly after passing my 40th anniversary I finally made my peace and buried that dream. Today, a good decade later, I would not be able to pass a medical. But even so, my eyes always brim with water when I watch your take-offs.
    And as others have stated repeatedly, I also appreciate how you include at least a brief glimpse of the pre-flight walk-around *AND* your full pre-flight check-list in your videos. You are setting a very good example for others to follow.

    Enjoyed this so much. My dad owned a couple Bonanzas as I was growing up. I have a lot of right seat hours in the V tails. Dad’s gone now and I flew for many years and I’m retired from flying now. And I’m in Grand Rapids MI so blew me away when you mentioned west Michigan. Thanks for bringing back a lot of great memories. ❤

    In February of this year (2023), I was home sick with food poisoning, watching videos on RUclips, and this video was suggested to me. I wasn't watching aviation videos on RUclips at the time, but this looked interesting (and I'm a Bay Area native), so I checked it out. I watched it 3 times and got inspired to look into flight lessons in my area. I went on my discovery flight on February 20, and yesterday I passed my private pilot check ride.🥳Thank you for inspiring me to pursue a dream and see it through. Next up, instrument training.

    • @eceflyboy
      @eceflyboy Год назад

      I recently converted to a Cirrus glass cockpit after flying steam gauge C172s for 17 years (and instrument rated most of those years). I would say with the modern Foreflight and iPad flying especially with Stratux (provides ADS-B in and attitude information) with Synthetic vision enabled, you are not missing too much from not going G1000. The main advantage flying a glass cockpit is a fully integrated system certified for primary navigation which is great for giving you confidence everytime flying IFR approaches and flying complicated missed approaches on autopilot. Stevie are you instrument rated yet?

Make sure you get a job immediately once you turn 16 to pay for being a pilot mainly if you're trying to fly commercially (for money) such as in the airlines. This stuff is very expensive so start saving that money for flight school when you turn 18 so then you can pay lots of it off and so you don't have much debt. It doesn't really matter what job you get, just get a job. I'm working at McDonald's rn as my first job and it just helps with getting work experience for more advanced jobs.
