flight

taking off right at sunset here in st. Pete and heading towards Miami start the TBM clear the outer starter is waiting for the ng to rise and settle there is watching the ITT for the hot start ng for the hang stars their two most common roles in the starting cycle on a turboprop looking like a good start okay and we'll go to hell it's our data uniform two to five three on watch when 3 to 0 to 1 3 visibility 1-0 clear sky temperature two nine dew point to one out sen to nine or eight six visual approach to runway three six and use there is a brief car model check on nice 121.9 ER and by this initial contact you have briefing uniformed all good first step done we have snow ADA go ashore and pick up our ifr clearance from Stone well evening no rush if not i'll sing a bravo or sign the unifying dilemma if i want a cobra it's not a big lot full route clearance there to fill palaka airport the chevy radar vectors intersection here at alpha bravo echo echo direct Roxanne east Romeo x-ray x-ray alpha november simple arrival six fly course q70 climb hold 1600 wait one seven thousand one zero minutes after departure frequency one one eight 2400 5-0 good to have opa-locka radar vectors a B Roxanne shake off six two seven zero on heading 1600 partial line wait one seven thousand and ten minutes after 1880 departure frequency squadron zero zero five zero one RF want a way come just for one thing grow a pair right okay we got our clearance we have everything ready up on the

flight

plane to the computer the plane and now we are going to call our taxi thank you land in rate for a singer Bravo on his signature the uniform a taxi november if I want tango brother only three sticks up in six crossing exit taxi exit alpha 2 round 3 six at the office six intersection ok if you all take a breather ok here we go miami florida opa-locka here we go we used to sign fbo here at st.

Pete, okay, so this is the alpha intersection right here in front of us now, if I turn right to our right there, you'll see alpha six, that's where we're going to take it off. Oh I've got the wings make sure our flight controls are clear and correct and we'll go to the tower frequency now as we're getting here to office six you can see out there to the left thanks tower good

night

another clue from a tango Bravo wait for the Charter three six in alpha six you're finally getting out of here now you find one thing far 350 opposite path to lift cliff or take off for just three six in six nothing if i want a brother things are good we'll cross the whole line of the shoreline here clearly to the left and the end down there to the right is clear for flights telling me we're coming in around three six we've got seven thousand four hundred feet left lined up here instead you can see all the black marks from all the tires one touchdown here alright here we go alright we use the power up here and take off power is set temp pressures all good on the green I'm pushing quite a bit with my right leg here to keep us on the center line every plane wants to go left we set the takeoff power and there is a rotation speed and we will go up there it is up and indicating one thing a Bravo each course sets up we have a good one two sevens you are on course or departure one thing a brother come today I will go flaps up you got a damper on it over to output frequency portrait good

night

585 a tango Bravo 505 to 1600 test up to two seven zero three five one thing abroad with Tampa output I lost your skin to want a brother well let's roll in that two seven zero heading here you can see wow the sun is setting over the gulf of mexico beautiful a deck up to contact which st. out fired shortly terrible decision the controls won't take a row ok we put the auto

pilot

on it's going to catch at 1600 feet and i got the heady error as you can see set to two seven zero or a headache mode there we've caught 1600 we're just semi select all tango bravo climb maintain 1 2010 1 2001 tanger bro alright let's put a 2002 free selector we don't know nothing let's build that PS 3,000 fpm here we go get into the 850 modes I'm going to pull the power a just under one hundred percent.

He laughs at what goes up and over the door. I'm also going to turn off the inertia separator. Use our pair above one hundred percent. -3 nights you can overtorque the motor they also had to be careful you could overheat the motor or overheat the motor too so a privateer and left a row girl left one six zero one tango bro nope one six zero set up a five the fear depends on anyone I leave it one two seven point four final lap beautiful view of 1534 shopping you have to be my favorite time to fly planes 334 rising the sun is setting in the evening though the airspeed is bleeding one four zero o knots , I'm going to hit the es button, the plane will continue to hold that speed for the rest of the client, but take a look here to fly on the iPad, this is our route, you can zoom in and you'll see our plane right there a trail of breadcrumbs where we've been Danielle so you can see your glide advisor and if you drift up that's the track we've got we're going to go to seven thousand feet and join the arrival of jingle six to the Miami area of ​​South Florida, it's our altitude alert for 1942 digits ago after responding to a millimeter and we're leveling out and I'm pushing here on the left side of the top over the edge of the rudder pushing it up to the left anytime to level out you'll want to push it to the left if you're climbing it will push the rudder to the right to keep the coordinated flight of the plane and a little indicator to show me where the trim is it's down here on the center console one thing above of a fight in one five zero contact miami center one three two point three five thirty two thirty five one-five you're running it for one thing well even match every five a tango bravo one mm in a 1085 a tango problem i'm focused on keeping one seven thousand Fort Myers off number two nine eight five two nine eight five two one seven thousand eight five one Tanger brother ok so we have a 7,000 set up one hour to two preselector we'll arm it and go back up three thousand feet per minute flying at night is great fun 58 clear direct marinas part of the cost most

pilot

s live mostly during the day boy in the U at night unless you like a climate car 3101 like fly at night usually the air is a bit softer yes it's not that hot with the sign but you guys like it well one day or night better even the comments below yes i liked it that you got better views during the day we're going to climb in about 2,600 feet of minutes but the only thing he's doing right now or just seeing that speed is because I'm against dinner mother.

The Boucher plane could stop. Sounds if I paid attention to that back off buddy you're awfully sure you might be getting halfway there no so back to Yeah we've been out through my papal. No, we shouldn't have to worry about air to install it. if everything works like a chit over 85 one tango Bravo very direct Roxanne Roxanne one tank brother so we scroll down to Roxanne direct enter enter and we go into a navigation mode I'll rethink and we're basically a drunken ox I don't know no one put that one five zero not much direction change there fixed a few sun is just above the bottom bar down over the horizon 75 50 60 and we are in caps to feed clear direct im joe 17,000 feet one time more using better travel here i hit the edge to the left as we're leveling out now we're just going to let the plane glide and build momentum with airspeed and then set our freeze power yeah this is my favorite time to fly right at this time of day.

I forget to do this as work. In my opinion, it is a very rewarding career. I could never see going back to a different kind of career where I didn't. fly planes you guys are thinking about becoming a pilot maybe get a job like this or something else you know 10ft my friend jason schaffer and one like m0 a comm its not like ground school i will link it in the description basically we will build i help him to guide you to save time and money and get your grades. I'm going to link to the description below so where everyone is Mike Baba, 17,000 feet is not 1,000 where the speed is basically as high as it will be now. we will configure your cruise power.

I'm just going to reduce the torque a little bit because as we roll back the prop rpm now the torque will go up so I'm going to pull the battery one seven like the prop rpm. Yet here it is 1981 with a valve. With the stronger blue metal here on the center console I pull that back and also the torque is coming in a little bit so that's why I pulled it before he said so I don't even overtighten the engine and now we can move forward. good for can 88 almost to red line getting too crazy with it really good now you can see we are almost at max torque for this flight now we are ready to go just Shawn 759 degrees celsius on ITT inner edge easily around 70% of a cup and the oil temps and pressures look good.

I'll get the ATIS info x-ray anyway win order and 0 to 1 1 visibility 1 0 runway temp 1 2 dominance here 4100 headliner to 120 we've got info x-rays just monitoring both frequencies there at the time like this that now that we have X-rays of information we know that we are going to want the thread to be 4 9 we will go to the airport tab we are on the focus page there is the iron, it has nine touches to the left and there is our approach plate, so we'll be able to set up all sorts of cure ok they're both VFR actually favorites be Fez join that sunset there keeping VFR Nanako Thank you we have a girl you want to impress and you're dating her.

Now is the time to mention it. At this time of day, nothing more romantic. you're free i have them ready for you so i hope you feel in love it's like i have a quick little instagram story here five five one mike alpha with it shows those who follow me on instagram our situation to do a little story here five five one could help fruit keep vfr i know y'all ain't sparkling on instagram. I'm sure going there. The correct story is sent to Instagram. media so i'm on it follow between flights and seal behind the scenes on what i'm doing very well here we are on rocks and planes are going to turn into a crowded downtown miami here find me on twitter country oh nice view outside the entrance main 5 which would be fort myers coming a lot of people it really doesn't get crowded at night in the flight community they all usually just do day flights and movies.

I'm better, you know I like to get to you guys up here from time to time I have a strong suspicion that you're going to want to put us in over jingle it's got six thousand someone in the V Nav here the six thousand sparkling on jingle with the descent profile thousand five hundred feet per minute we'll want to descend in six minutes and 28 seconds we'll see if that happens some of the different challenges when flying at night it's especially when there are thunderstorms to steer clear there's no mood in the sky it can be very difficult to see exactly where all the storms are you're in i mean your next reading is a weather radar built into the roof but it might be a challenge trying to imagine your way through storms mike normally when you're collecting honey you'll see all the lightning in a different storm but you know that you should stay away from that area which is a good telltale sign of where to stay away if you don't have weather radar on board or the next correct memory five one Fingal brava that will hold a 1-1 11,000 my nails in the 39 are 85 to 95 it would be less than 1000 e if i want to take a bro ok so i'll generate further dissent here a 1000 setup i've been hurting vs we have 85 for 11 or FINA video fight but yeah now that we start down it will too set a pressurization for field elevation when we land the pressurizations at the appropriate time and now as we start to ascend I'm going to back up actually our Vita has a profile so it's starting to chirp right when we were supposed to go down .

I'm going to turn the power off because since we just sent our purple one up, we don't want it to shift and shake. We can turn the panel lights down here if we wanted with these knobs down here Miami good night I usually like to turn the lights down a lot when I'm at altitudecruise or zero director barry don't look out the windows way down my neck the driver i could see this well enough to monitor everything but then when i go down and i actually know i might make an approach or land. I like to keep the lights a bit brighter.

Virtually contactless mining is just cruising altitude. I like a contract mine over that good fine density it will bring the rest of this board back up and we can also adjust each little screen here how bright we wanted it to go down a little bit and it's nice to fly right now because let's just say it goes to dark mode automatically like during the day this screen would be all white now that it knows it's going to get dark it goes into a play where it's very helpful I have the focus of all the settings reported for the thread I have only 9 or left in opa-locka as you can see on the front we are coming up to the florida everglades and there isn't much down there so at night it's basically pitch black definitely would be highly recommended to have an IFR rating because you won't have a good clear to get up, don't know it could be a clear night ppm a foul time very bad record junetta hold 6,000 J plus six thousand eight five a brother tango ok so there is a crossing restriction we had at Bagram will put six thousand and rlq preselector only we got to go down 1,300 feet a minute right now so I'll arm it and yeah 1,300 feet of it okay to put it through 10,000 feet 35 turned on the lander lights the way it'll see PBM AF I want that kind of ditch any focus 133 points 77033 study, so a tango Bravo every night you and I am you know if I was tango Bravo send a six over jingle beret five one thing I brought my reproach good night wait for the night to leave information Yankees trying to block the module catch to Yankee and we would like to put in the application for iron air to the right only nine black please go find Yankee I blocked our information Yankee two three four eight civil conservation wind temperature to learn a lower plus seven eighths to the right east it's our never never left approach landing departure runway find out loud and to the right what you remember we won't want to do is all the fonts notices to aviators like my mayor projects but the eyeliners and to the right every airman control mission crime thank you very much aliens very good ladies now have a yankee mission every hour the airport will launch a new animation.

Twenty one three zero one trees there at the head of a tango Bravo very good one three zero Teddy bug and let's edit the mode now that we are heading assignments we can load focus I I am very dim Gothica procedure in bunker D instigated You're right here we go we got the focus y'all put the happen you show up JD wherever you go baby i got a little energy back cause they see some clouds from the hegwood yeah at night it's a little bit more difficult this is where the launch of different pods watch out there may be a bit of potholes here and the floor you go through through these clouds less violent there will be the number one gang of thieves keeping four thousand to keep fourth that's what i tango beretta there are those clouds warner journal me what do you see we're coming in and coming out of that night it's really cool when you have the lights of the atlantic on how you see how fast the clouds go by pretty cool so let's go down four thousand got us biessed at 1500 feet per minute down below hey y'all can see the strobes from the plane bouncing in the tango bravo class I have to make my mare approach one to eight point six twenty-six they find a thing in a row how is the sport going or is it going to change and I said my friend my word 1900 miami no rush well a tango bravo 5300 signal to four one thousand one three zero course with yankee a brave crime mommy is coming from maintenance mm mm I like to put a request for the RNAV to go up well if I want a brother that I don't thank you it's never okay so mm configure and also put inertial separator below 100 or knots that's the limitation to get that switch down my left knee think about the real thing in 30 seconds eating it you'll see the light on and now we're basically skipping a lot more bouncing on the input i have enough numbers to 9 are you six still sailing through these clouds should we get out of them here shortly our national separation teacher warns it's on we're good we just got out of those clouds you start to see the lights ahead of us in the south from Florida, it's up to you before. you hit the lights in south florida it's just a black tug over the everglades you're covered in lots of alligators and pythons down there in that dark everybody tango Bravo head straight for O'Kane alright what a tango bro yeah we had a problem here happened here at the mill last night a millimeter sure mac thought it was an exit radar contact climb and we keep 4000 right so we went direct intervention to be ok every five and we can intercept the glide path at 1600 we're going all the way down and 203 58 this plane is where lpv approved so we'll put our propeller forward here and set it up for approach put it back to 2000 push it forward and now we're up at 2000 no the propeller our ice blue pam are down here just bumps we had we're going through a little cloud cover next november 23rd i'm going to take a beating we both meet at the banyan pilot shop in fort lauderdale executive i'm giving away lots of prizes free food free drinks make sure you go to steve-o on kineo calm down and register to go to the event hope to see you everything is free toe Baba defender keep up 1700 traffic 12 o'clock on the six mile 1607 mark heading west at 2500 ready you said that you wanted me to go down 1600 and we're looking for traffic if i want to originally bring said 1000 fingers crossed ok NAT 1650 on a Voronoi one zero ask a crap buy roger going to cross good net 1600 yea we're good clear for night left approach RNAV correct our navigation now let all Kanger Bravo budget 1600 on okie and we're cleared for iron left nine a while in the chamber since the lime contract approaches one ok so we want to make sure we're all square there 1600 ok it will be clear for approach so long arm one thing over traverse to increase your speed 1 7 0 and contact tower one three four point six 71 7 it's here on speed and on tower i know if I want a GoPro every night we receive all kinds of shouting here today only tower opa-locka another refi a tango Bravo in art and there are nine good five a tango Bravo watch tower of mine on or left clear clear line nine to the left I already fed a tango Bravo alright so I removed power back to that one seven zeroes on speed count down here approach plate you'll see you there we're a little bit of airplane flashing lights we're going straight ok that's a cool little feature ok , we'll put the armrest here and get ready to go to work, we're almost up to our proper speed of 170 knots and we're turning our final approach course here actually has the runway and says if you can see it but all the lights out there are, uh, it's quite complicated, sometimes it's special if you've never been in this area, so there are four of us. miles so ASBO and that's it we're going to intercept a glide path so you see here is our approach course and our glide path when that comes in and gets a dot up that's where I'm going to slow down .

I'm going to set the first flaps notch that I've selected, there's a limit to the speed of 178 knots, but that first flaps notch indicates it's okay, so now you'll see here comes the glide path down when it gets to this point. up here is like where you have to be one point up is where I will lower the gear making them at the proper speed and everything you want when the gears go down following the glide path so go down you are going to see the red light down here blinking which I knew all the engines were running and three green ones went down so now you're going to see we're going to start going down the glide path even though the plane will be right here to show the glide path and we stayed a little too far , but you are the approach course no one corrects the autopilot for that I got the power pole back now we are going to get to around 110 knots with this approach speed your plane is doing a really good job staying right on the glide path and we're right on the approach course that line is lined up and I'm worried about 111 knots I'll put the power at about 25% we can go as low as 258 feet and let the autopilot fly to the lows and I'll disengage there and we'll blow it huffing the rest of the way with lighting around this runway and it's all LED lights giving a nice sharpness look at 500 that's 500 feet to the ground call and we're about 200 feet from the minimum so We might still be up in the clouds looking for that clue, but as you can see ahead of us, there it is, this is pretty crazy. it shows you how low you can go and right there that's our decision altitude and we see the runway environment so we'll continue to land yeah see the lighting isn't that beautiful and we're going to start pulling power off late Lo I know, and there we are, centerline, go back to beta and we'll shoot it there: charlie intersection, welcome to Miami, Florida, guys, number one, think about the right turn contact charlie, round one, good nights charlie go to the floor enjoy your night one time bro when you try to go out late at night you always have this yellow line you will follow and it will help guide the work there you can start to see it right there if you just follow that.
