Nice to see my photo at Wick 🙂
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Thanks, Guido!
I started my pilot life from watching your videos.
A HUGE PLEASURE to have a message from you❤️ 🤝
The Cessna 404 still remains a great airplane to fly. Love the geared engines and the big props. Very nice plane to fly. My personal favorite is still the C-421 for piston twin.
Couldn't agree more!
Cool “bus”, 404, but 421 is a comfort 👌
This makes me want to retire some day and fly the friendly skys in all the old classic planes that have stood the test of time
Best cessna twin ever built, hands down.
Well i would say pressurised ones beat it, but out of unpressurised - the best 100%
Jack is one of the best pilots there is 👍🏼
Спасибо за фантастические путешествия)
Looks like demanding but FUN trip!!! The 404 was a beast even back in my day and she's still a fine airplane today. We don't see many of those around in the States anymore. Great watch!!!
Oh that is truly unique airplane. Thanks for your comment :) Part II will be premiered today, are you ready?
@@KFEAvia Yup, will be watching after my football game is over.
Great video. flew the 404 as my first commercial job, single pilot with 300 hours🙈 really enjoyed the experience. Just button pushing on the airbus 12000 hours later! Fabulous colour scheme.
That's awesome, 404 i mean.
I tried A320 in the sim on my ATP CTP, don’t see myself flying Airbus TBH…
@@KFEAvia 😂how I wish I could have a go in the 404 again...oh well. really enjoyed the video. keep up the great work👍
@@gsd32i Thank you for a warm feedback!
@@KFEAvia I´m a doorkeeper at boeing and everything looks fresh.
Great to see Jack flying, known him for years but never seen him fly
Ill send him a greeting from you :P
Hello from France, very interesting,look forward to the rest...👏👍👍👋🇫🇷
Bonsua :) Part II is out: ruclips.net/video/h1347wq4hUc/видео.html
Really awesome. You gents deserve a cigar for a job well done!
Hehe thanks, we had some good time there in Florida 👌
Thank you for the flights, really enjoyed part 1!
Jack, thank you! ☺️
That's amazing and scary at the same time
With the twin engine - not so scary i would say :)
@@KFEAvia well , I’m afraid of planes too 😅
Wow! What a cool adventure! By far your best video now! Thank you Konstantin
Thanks!
Wait for part two, might be even :)
Thank you for sharing. Great adventure
Thanks! Don’t forget its just the first part of the journey ;)
You guys are living the DREAM for sure....thanks for the great trip, looking forward to part 2....
Thanks!
Part II is here: ruclips.net/video/h1347wq4hUc/видео.htmlfeature=shared
This is great!
Thanks ☺️
Great video. Thank you for sharing.
I am very happy you liked it :)
I have about 2000+ hrs flying the 404 Titian as a freighter…..a great tough airplane, but the engines can be temperamental and require care and planning to ensure you don’t shock cool them. Treat them right, they can go over factory TBO in 135 with FAA approval….but treat them wrong and they have a shockingly short life, often 600-900 hours…..
Thanks!
This plane came out of good hands, hence the engines and the rest are in a good shape👌
Enjoyed your video and approach into Narsarsuaq! I work in Gander ATC and have cleared 1000's of aircraft in/out of BGBW over my 30 years and it was nice to see it from the pilot's perspective! Thanks
Fantastic journey guys, thankyou so much
Thank you, part II coming out soon ;)
@@KFEAvia I look forward to it
Hi Konstantin, really enjoyed your flights from Germany to Iceland and then to Greenland. It was odd to see Reykjavik Iceland without it being snow covered in December. Really enjoyed the White puffy clouds you flew in between on the approach to Iceland. The scenery coming into Greenland was really beautiful as well. Great video Konstantin and looking forward to part 2. Enjoy the nice warm sunshine and weather for your time in Florida, USA.
Ben, as always, love your comments 🫶🏻
This flight was not in December, it just takes some time to process and post it 😊
The views are amazing, Florida is great too, especially sunsets ❤
@@KFEAvia Thanks Konstantin, completely understand the delay in editing and posting of videos. Appreciate the time and effort you put into creating these videos.
Nice vidéo konstantint👍
Thank you!
Awesome adventure!
Absolutely, don't forget, there will be part 2 ;)
Absolutely amazing country to overfly Greenland
And that approach is amazing
Stephen, i agree, but aren’t you confused with how they called Greenland and Iceland relatively? 😀
Once again I enjoyed watching your video.🤩Good Flights in New Year!
Thank you and happy holidays!
Nice!
Gracias, Bruno!
Felix navidad! 🪅
I have considerable time in the C404 and found it one of the best non-pressurised piston aircraft. Massive load carrying capability and very versatile and a delight to fly.
Absolutely agree 👌
waouh what a beautiful transfert from Germany to Florida ...nearly an "Aventure " :) with this Cessna 404 with 2 good pilots ! bravo ...fly safe ...friendships from France :)
Merci becaoup 🇫🇷, monseur 😀
@@KFEAvia thanks a lot :)
Круто! Дякую
Радий, що подобається!
Like a boss
Дякую за відео. Просто супер. Доречі з Новим Роком тебе. Будеш в моїх краях звони.
Дякую, вас теж! А ви де? :)
I just love your videos… ❤️ biggest motivation to keep learning for my private
😊I am happy it motivates. Where are you from, where do you study?
Thank u for the video, what i can observe when you are landing - you are on final - the way you respond to movement of the 404 is correct - u don't randomly move the yoke, but feel the need of input. I have seen so many - even airline pilots randomly moving the yoke left and right up and down trying to control the aircraft when the plane was on a stabilized approach. Think this comes from education. Want to have a beer with u one day and happy new year....
Thanks for the comment!
That is true, bigger planes from airlines make people think it needs a lot of action done, which is not true :)
But even sometimes i saw that people do this “jerk😀” manoeuvre a lot when not needed in the airliner also 😭
Where do you fly your 404? And what kind of missions, just privately?
Absolutely correct!
Greetings from Giebelstadt - very cool campaign. Continued good flights!
Halo, danke ✌️
Great video👌
Thanks 👍
The guy in the green shirt is very handsome - I’d definitely date him in a heartbeat ❤❤❤❤
I will pass him your compliments 😀
С удовольствием смотрю ваши видео. Привет из Минска. С наступающим новым годом тебя и твоих близких. Наилучшие пожелания ❤❤❤.
Здравствуйте!
Спасибо!
Вас с наступающим тоже :)
уазик зачет!
Вездеход :)
С удовольствием смоьрю Ваши видео!
Горд за Вас, что парень из Сум сейчас бороздит "мировые простоы". Браво!
Всего Вам хорошего и счастья в личной жизни! С Новым Годом!
Очень приятно! ☺️
Спасибо за комментарий и пожелания!
Вас тоже с 2024-м!
Excellent video Konstantin. You have a new subscriber and fellow pilot on his way to the CPL licence. Greetings from Argentina.
Heeey thanks!
Whats the plan after CPL acquisition?
@@KFEAvia I don't know exactly, Argentina is part of ICAO and I have the Italian citizenship. I was thinking of going to Europe and validate my license there. Do you have any advice for me?? (I'm quite lost)
Great adventures you're having. Nice to see you got a checkout in the Uaz Hunter! Long flight in that tiny plane. Cape Air in Boston flies a large fleet of them. Love to do that route in a bit smaller plane some day. I took a lot of notes.
Hey, Matt, thanks! Do they still operate them in the US commercially? UAZ is like a real off road, i drove it in Crimean mountains some time ago...
Konstantin, my mistake, they run (60) Cessna 402C's that they are slowly replacing with Tecnam 2012's. Kind of the Daddy of the 404. Yes, we had lots of Uaz and Kamaz in Kyrgystan and Uzbekistan. Very rugged vehicles.
Cool video!
Thanks! Part II is here btw: ruclips.net/video/h1347wq4hUc/видео.htmlfeature=shared
Great vid - Nice to see a picture of my very good friend Mike Bradford, and regular in our airspace here in Greenland. I hope, we (Nuuk Information/Greenland) treated you well flying trough our airspace. Also nice to see my old stomping ground BGBW/Narsarsuaq.
Thanks, we were treated well :)
Whats your name? We will fly soon again, wanna greet you :)
@@KFEAvia It´s Carsten, but everyone up here call me by my nickname... Junior c",)
Awesome accent...
Огоо как давно ждал
Спасибо!
И как вам?
Geiles Video, aber die Maschine scheint auch echt fit zu sein.😊 Great video, the plane seems to be in very good shape.😊
Vielen danke!
I always deal with planes which are in a good shape :)
Thank you for sharing these videos, I'm learning a lot. I would like more details of the conversation with ATC on the radio, I have never flown outside of Portugal, I plan later one day to take a trip from Lisbon on the Socata Rallye 150hp to Moldova Chisinao VFR, but I am afraid that my English is not that good , if you ever find yourself in Lisbon, I invite you to fly on the air bike ;) (1965 rally)
Miecea, buna sera :)
Rallye is my favourite single engine plane :)
I cut a lot of ATC because videos would be triple long 😀😀😀
Try liveatc.net
How do i contact you? Vlog with Rallye - i would do it again :)
С Наступающим! Всех благ, МИРА!.
Спасибо за пожелание✌️! Вас также с наступающим !
Очень круто, Константин 👍 открываешь для себя новые горизонты 👍 привет из Германии и с наступающим новым годом!
Здравствуйте!
В прямом смысле - новые горизонты 😃
Спасибо, с наступающим!
Wow - stunning video! Thank you for that!
I would love to fly with an airplane like that to the Unites States (love flying in general), but I'm really afraid of heights. Are there a lot more turbulances than in any Boeing or Airbus?
Support from germany!
Thanks, i am afraid of height too, but plane flies, its like sta time inside the building, it is “solid” :)
Привет из Владивостока! С наступающим НГ встречного на взлете, попутного в полете!
P.S. Флорида уже почти родной стала - получал там пилотское и инструментальный рейтинг, надеюсь в 24 коммерческого пилота добить.
Здравствуйте!
И вас с наступающим!
Удачи с получением CPL - мне пригодилось 😀
Йди краще путіна добий
A Flat Horizon!!
Yeah, the Earth is flat
Ah, Schengen agreement, (visa free travel), makes something like this a vacation idea plausible. Just flying around, maybe not randomly, but still...
Nice flights!
When doing this kind of routing via sometimes small fields, how do customs/passport checks work?
Sometimes you have to order 24 hours in advance. Sometimes just 2 hours.
Thanks for the feedback 🤝
Hello konstantin
Hello
Great video Konstantin. Where did you land in Greenland?
I think the popstar Gary Numan flew exactly the same route around the world in his Piper PA-31 Navajo Chieftain (G-NMAN)
Could be, googled a bit - didnt find any info.
However, the plane looked cool 👌
@@KFEAvia yeah, the plane colours look really cool,stay safe brother.
What was the avagare flight hour for each leg? Amazing video!
Total of 22 hours, average 4 hours per leg
hallo from Indonesia
Hello, hello! What are you guys flying there for private use?
@@KFEAvia I am just an aviation enthusiast honestly never fly with privat one, only with regular
A question I always wondered: why is Wick the usual stop over on small plane transatlantics? Stornoway would look like being positioned slightly better. Does it have to do with available services?
I checked ant it looks good on services, fuel etc.
I could only assume it is a habit + you fly closer to Faroe Islands - safety iceland half way down the route, but i will study that option to be honest.
Wick provides safety equipment and raft rentals, i can also consider it as a benefit to land there…
@@KFEAvia I guess it's the raft rentals etc. And the folks you met seem familiar with that sort of mission. The one time I did such a route we went through Stornoway, Vagar and up to Egilstadir (single engine birdwhacker, so no attempt to go straight to Reykjavik). We brought the oxygen, extra tanks, rafts and life vests from the start though, so I guess the services in Scotland weren't that important.
Funny route, I have to try on the simulator
Let me know if you like it 😀
Wuerzburg baby
Ales klar :)
Greenland doesn't look very green does it?
Отличный полет, Константин! Вопрос дилетанта: почему Вы не пристегиваетесь ремнями?😀
Спасибо, отличный вопрос.
Ремни у нас поясные пристегнуты на взлет и посадку. В полете один пристегнут всегда. Когда летаю сам - не отстегиваюсь вообще :)
👍
Are you guys flying this VFR all the way? Also Konstantin quite curious about your customised Bose headset.... it looks like a noise cancelling non aviation headset to which you have added a microphone. Is that the case?
VFR all the way, we were lucky with the weathers. And yeah, its a Bose QC 38 and this adapter. 10 times cheaper :) www.ufqaviation.com/products/av-mike-2-aviation-headset-pilot-headset-microphone-suit-for-bose-qc25-qc35-good-quality
Goob офигеный ролик приятная музыка и вид с высоты шикарно побольше видов с высоты снимайте самолет аж плывет по воздуху
Спасибо :)
Снимаем как можем :)
За музыку передам монтажеру ;)
Have made that run a couple of times. Were you dodging th ehigher altitude winds? Why not get up where the engines were more fuel efficient? It's basically an unpressurised C421. Thos engines like the high teens.
We didn’t have oxygen with us, but i agree about the altitude, it “asks” for higher 😀
It would be helpful if you put permanent notes or text in the video to show us viewers how many hours you are into the flight, time to arrival, airports youre landing in etc
Will do it in my next vids, stay tuned 🤓
Wick Scotland 🏴
Scotland! 🏴
What kind of phone mount suction mount is that?
Chinese noname from indian mobile store 🤣
But i LOVE it 😻
Cool video. Just out of interest, why are the EGT’s so different between number 1 and 2?
Hello!
Good question, it is different, but not that much.
100-200 Fahrenheit is ok.
They don’t have to be the same, they have to be 125 Fahrenheit LESS then a PEAK EGT on a particular engine. Engines are different and can have different EGT, but the same performance.
Блин прикольно колени управляют как руки , не хватает линейка и стакан как горизонт
😀😀😀 На машине научился - привычка перешла на самолет 😀😀😀
C404 can go anywhere in the world with her powerful engines
Absolutely true!!!
Long range “bus”
Shout out to Guido.........
Thanks, will pass it to him :)
Is the pilot Russian or German?
hello :) why are you switching clothes to offical clothes like a captain at 26:14 ? :) thx
Just because i think it looks nicer on the vlog :)
We started as bums because we were too tired (i came from another long ferry straight to this one
Vor 40 Jahren bin ich auch mal „Titan“ geflogen. Daß da heute noch eine rumfliegt…..?
Yeah, that one was in Germany :)
Thanks for information. You choose a very fine weather for passing the Atlantic. Was it relaxing? Are the engines reliable still?@@KFEAvia
@@dr.wilfriedhitzler1885 Yeah, we look out for weather for such a mission - you dont want to be stuck in Greenland for a week, do you? :) Engines are AMAZING - good maintenance and more important - utilisation by the pilots!!!
Real PILOTS! Makes me glad to hear! Good luck on every trip!@@KFEAvia
Shouldn't that be "around the atlantic"?
That's not really "across" is it.
Hm, good point.
Everyone calls it “crossings”, even the jnsurance companies require 5 “crossings” which is a nightmare for new ferry pilots 🤯
Wish we could hear ATC please
Ralph, i get your point, but we try to cut the video to max 30 mins, that takes a lot of talking out, a lot of ATC too. They are mostly hardly readable 😀
Sorry, trying to keep it shorter 😁
Ralph, if you want to hear ATC watch some of the video recordings from the Syd Squad livestreams from Sydney Australia. The have ATC communications on most of their Livestream recordings.
@@benburns5995 another good suggestion would be www.liveatc.net
If you stop in Greenland then it is not transatlantic crossing.
We went further un the part II ruclips.net/video/h1347wq4hUc/видео.html
#8:28". It looks like it's working 😮. Aren't u supposed to know before takeoff
It was an unexpected malfunction and when you ferry a plane - you never know what can be faulty (if not a critical thing of course).
It worked particularly in the route though…
Whete is the flight plan

You talked about flying VFR over Europe surely you couldn’t fly this whole route JUST VFR??
I’ve done this crossing 28 times, and 21 of those times were VFR. Very easily done if the weather is in your favor
Thanks Sam. I have a big hang up about flying VFR outside of the UK. I have a UK only restricted IR (no Class A) which I exercise almost every time I fly. So feel trips across Europe VFR are too restrictive. Your video gives me hope to get over it.
You will not believe, it is doable VFR in a good summer time. I also done the other side - Germany - Kazakhstan. All VFR. No delays. 👌
Where are your survival suits?
Good question, we do have them, ocean is not a warm Jacuzzi, but flying a twin with copilot gives you time to get yourself prepared :)
@@KFEAvia in a flat spin? Doubtful
@@royshroud9536 good point, but to get it into a flat spin at 10.000 feet, what do both ATP and CPL pilots have to do? I mean 0.5% chance is there, but God must not like us a lot to do that 😀😀😀
@@royshroud9536you think a survival suit would help you in a flat spin!? 😂
@@samuelhunt9971 There are situations where donning a survival suit prior to ditching/aircraft egress is impossible!
Amount of ignorance in the common section is amazing, arm chair pilots hard at work
BOREDOM IS FLYING
No, flying is fun 🤩
ALUMINUM CELL
😃
The music was irksome.
Very dangereuse flight's with an very old plane I had to flight on it in France but never did it thanks God
Old doesn’t mean unsafe or dangerous. This aeroplane undergo mandatory maintenance which keeps them in a good shape.
Don’t be afraid 😁
@@KFEAvia Good answer ! and Indeed I could see she was flying well but was not the same at the time it was in my hands in 2020 😅, you bring it for a private in the US ?
@@duodiscus6889 nah, it went further to Caribbean if i am not mistaken, we just flew to the US and handed it over for annual
davay pa ruskiy
One of the favorite aircraft of drugs trafficking cartels in the 80s , payload and range ! Plus some extra tanks 😊
Why does the other pilot doesn’t look happy? He clearly didn’t look comfortable doing this trip.
He was just shy on camera 😀😀😀
The other pilot looks ok , humble dude!
He is from Germany. We all look concentrated.😂😅
He was very good I’d fly with him!
@@saschakeitmann7954sounds English
And why are you doing this trip and burning thousands of Liters?
This was a ferry flight, plane stopped in the US for a short avionic update and went to the Caribbean.
Shanwick stinks
Why?
Almost impossible to get requested fl.
