it's tonight tomorrow tonight tonight we'll get you right okay welcome aboard the tbm 850 here at orlando executive airport it'll be a good

flight

tonight we'll take off right at golden hour and head to miami so we'll get started the tbm. here, right, outside, feel the boost pump on, now we'll click to start watching the style lights flashing. The initial light is also removed.

Those are two very important things to keep in mind when you start it, watching the ng it's going to go up and stabilize right at 14 and reduce fuel to low idle. There we have the light off, observing the hot ignition for the start at home. It looks like the itt is going to temper right at 7 63 degrees Celsius. Now we continue observing the ignition. to go up the itt is going backwards as more air goes through the engine here we go alright we take off okay the first thing we're going to do is go and get the airport atus here in orlando executive orlando executive airport information tango two one five three Zulu wind two nine zero to four visibility one zero clear below in two thousand temperature two one dew point eight altimeter three zero one four visual approaches at youth landing and departure runway two five clearance delivery available in ground control one two one point four reread all the clues have brief instructions and clue assignments advise about the initial contact you have the ada tango okay, we have tango we will go and collect our clearance ifr on land executive land good evening tbm a51 tango bravo about the exact arrow the tango searching image for ifr november 851 tango bravo orlando executive land and authorization authorized for oscar papa radar vectors to melbourne the bluff e4 arrival keep 1500 wait 1 5 000 100 minutes after departure the departure frequency is 119, 4 squawk one zero five six roger clear to lock our radar vectors malvern blue rival v4 will maintain 1500 feet departure distance we will wait one five thousand ten minutes after 194 departure frequency squawk one zero five six in our eight five one tango burrata number one tango bravo the correct data of your bounce tango is current notice taxi in to record the exact arrow with information tango number eight five a tango bravo number one tango bravo okay, it's as easy as that, set our taxi light on 735 Julian, how do you read it?

We're on the waiver arrow here and they worked on this. On the plane we had a number three oil leak coming from one of the seals up there on the engine, so they replaced them and so far on startup we haven't had any oil spinning on the windshield here, so we're looking good, I think. Yeah. I have this problem, hopefully I solved it, let's spin the propeller twice here. Romeo was quite crazy today. I went for a test flight after they made this. I was walking in and there was a 10 foot alligator to my left here on this little one. lake area and we also had a coyote running towards me at the same time he warned me about it and I asked him, I told him what is this Jurassic park, let's hit the button that raises our flight director arm to 1500 feet and we too we go to the heading modes and our flight director will be in the appropriate area for our takeoff and this is actually once you're cleared to cross, you know we're clear, we'll still check clear on the left and clear on the looks good and also the ipad tells me that we are entering the runway of one three three one so if you like these videos, make sure to press the thumbs up button, ring that little bell that will let you know when I upload a The video also gets some pretty goodies good with the Bose headphones for one of my clients that I gave away and also the honeycomb alpha yoke system.

We also have the honeycomb bravo throttle quadrant panel system with the autopilot and everything I'll give away. Coming soon, so I would like to thank all my sponsors. You can always visit stevo1knevo.com to see the details and where to go and get the different prizes I'm giving away. I'm using the iPad mini right here, which is uh, in my opinion, the perfect size to put in the cabin of an airplane and I use the pivoting mounting system along with the case. It's quick and easy, just take it off and put it back on if you're switching between different planes and if you guys are looking to buy something like this be sure to use stevo one can evo as a discount code which will save you 15 percent on your purchase and, like I say, they'll save mine, that's always a good thing, so I'm very happy. with this and I have been finding different planes lately and it is always quick and easy to change it.

This is the yoke bracket. They also have the suction cup mount that I have been using on Valerie's dad that I fly on this channel. We'll turn on the panel lights here, get everything ready, the night of November 8th and go to the tower frequency off of that. We are approaching the end of the runway here, we are going to reach the entire coast here. lines looking for that traffic right in front of us here, let's stop and we'll call them, hit the tower, good night, too eight five one tango bravo holding less than two five good eight five one tango bravo tower short track two five winner high five throws I wasn't sure if there were just two of us five nine five one okay so we'll sit here oh wow look at it from the right wing look at that beautiful sunset we'll be filming that here shortly hey stevo do you want to fly at 140 let me know , call me now if I want to take a breath, okay, my florida, here we go, report, reset, down runway two five, which is the entire coast for the finals, clear now the The runway is clearing of shadows here today we go let's line up here in Cinderella heading eight five zero your runway number one two five smart earth and now we're going to reduce the rpm of the propeller to approximately two thousand rpm and there it is the plane is ready to fly starting at eight for November extend your downwind you're following the baron three miles we have to have a positive speed and indicating okay we'll widen that one and let's get ready got it look at that okay sunbathing if you look at the front that's really cool it was below of the horizon now that we are going up, it is going up again, romeo flash, direct, going up into the air, two miles, final, here we go, television, a tango, bravo, two, five, zero, course, contact the lander . exit two fights here on the course our exit one tango bravo okay youtube orlando exit good night more than 851 tango bravo one thousand five hundred two five course zero beautiful flap lever goes up and over the door now we can advance the torque beyond 100 percent We have We have to be careful since we do not have more torque for the regulator and we could exceed the torque of the motor and that would be very costly, hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars, if we went from level 9 to 4,000 feet 200 and reached some Launch errors during takeoff, but I don't see any oil, so it definitely looks like Orlando we keep VFR below sixteen hundred clear.

We should see uh Universal Studios Orlando International right there at 10 o'clock, they'll most likely give us a ride. over the top of that November 1st tango bravo turn left heading zero nine zero contact exit one two four point eight twenty-four eight zero nine zero on course eight five one tango bravo thank you Orlando good night tbm eight five one tango bravo four thousand turn left zero nine zero three five one tango bravo exit from orlando thank you he will be higher in about 10 miles roger one tango brother boy look at this beautiful one there good night right at golden hour 75 good night can you see orlando international ahead there We will cross practically through the midfield as we expected.

This is truly one of my favorite times to fly. This time of day is always very relaxing and well into the night we will go guys and enjoy it until now. Well, that's it. The boys are enjoying the play. I'm enjoying the place. Take a look down there on our left wing. There is the Orlando International Airport. See all the doors, the terminals. Really nice view. If we take a look here at the iPad, this is ours. Tonight's radar vector routing in Melbourne for us has actually just begun. I don't know if we'll see a missile launch, who knows, wouldn't it be crazy if we did see a messy launch it would probably be a little later tonight?

It's been great though and if you want to invert the colors here, invert the colors on the chart, here we go, we're ready for the night bravo tango, come and hold one four thousand clementine one four thousand eight five one ten percent big card fifty and six ninety eight travis that factor comes in four thousand set on our LG preselector yes, three thousand feet per minute a tango bravo turns right I think one two zero to the right one two zero a tango bravo one two zero set for your heading book three three kilos of foxtrot, look down here on the ipad, you'll see there's our breadcrumb trail, the little green line that we took off and turned to the east, now we're starting our turn to the southeast, which will keep us clear. tfr now the plane is climbing in vs mode vertical speed mode 3000 feet per minute and it has the power to maintain that type of vertical speed as I showed in another video, so what we are doing is watching the air speed fade away, The only problem with doing this, if you get distracted and you're not able to catch it, you won't stop, so this is only for people who are really at the top of their game, so look, we're about to hit 140 on that one. speed now.

You have to press the buttons and it will capture right where that button was pressed and it will maintain that speed and it will fluctuate with any climb speed to maintain that airspeed. Much safer mode to ascend in light level change mode. Some planes happen and now that. We're getting a little higher in the sky, we're going to turn off our inertial separator, a little switch near my left knee, I'm going to turn it on, the light is going to go out now, we're going to increase the torque. I actually filmed a little video earlier when the plane was in the hangar.

You will see it here. I'll show you. If you look there, you'll see that little tail fin. Wow, it feels good to be in heaven. I'm alone tonight 3967 kind of downtown Jacksonville one two six point three five today take a look at the left wing, you'll see there's Cape Canaveral where they launched the rockets and they used to make the shuttles. In fact, I see I think the rocket that is on the launch pad that they are going to launch tonight and it will probably go up because the conditions tonight are 100 favorable for the launch of many rockets and we are leveling off at one four thousand i.

I'll push the rudder to the left here to give us a coordinated flagging. Wouldn't it be amazing if we could watch a rocket launch tonight? I keep seeing a bright light there, all right, one six zero eight one tango brother district 529 5092 jacksonville county 726.35 today one two six point three five blue streak fifty-three and eight two experience twelve twenty-one two range zero zero right turn heading zero nine years there are three rings so that's where I saw the really bright light I got I don't know where the light was coming from it was coming from the launch pad for a second I thought it was actually launching but maybe they're just working In the rocket, who knows, remember a brave tango, contact the center of Miami 132.25 thirty-two twenty-five. a tango bravo hook a knife can you remember me tbm eight five a tango bravo one four thousand in a one six zero heading dbma five a tango bravo madison roger player director melbourne that's mike lima bravo joined the blue rival of the fifth floor better check melbourne for join the blues before a rivalry fight once and for all a bravo tango climb and maintain one five thousand the altimeter of palm beach three zero one five one five of one five thousand eight five one ten brother fifteen thousand feet is the beautiful view of fifteen thousand feet of our right wing, yeah, what I really enjoy about flying, uh, when I'm alone, is that you know, 2020 has been a disaster, we're here just enjoying aviation, in my opinion, it's such a special thing to be able to Fly planes. one zero ten thousand five as therapy for the soul, I don't know if that's how you people who fly airplanes feel and if you're thinking about becoming a pilot, definitely go to your local flight school and ask about it and, uh, take a flight of discovery maybe flying is something you would like to undertake so what I'm going to do now I'm going to put the atis in the back on the com2 here we are our destination of opalaca me too We're going to put the ground frequency there and that just keeps us ahead of the flight.

There are fewer things we have to worry about fading away the closer we get to keeping the ones that are there. I want to get closer. We just press a button. We monitor the aetus. and once we land we just flip the switchon the ground so that we can talk and talk to the ground. The more steps you can complete when you know they're coming, flying will be a lot easier if you stay ahead of the flight if you don't do that kind of thing then you get to that part you can stay back then we can put the armrest down get comfortable enjoy that pretty sunset sun to the west now is when it would be good to take a girlfriend for a flight or a boyfriend whatever their preference romance them with a nice sunset flight hope they feel romantic actually on the ipad here i should have set pound before every day I can easily insert what I had I forgot to put that on the ipad 1836 uh almost at level two four zero here we go the route that I showed you a moment ago was not the correct route but it was corrected by the program for the plane, its autopilot is flying off of uh you know the route that they have programmed into the garmin 530 here this is just as a backup for a little reference and we'll see if we get direct feedback every day that would be a little shortcut for us It doesn't always hurt to ask.

I don't have it right now for traffic. I will do my best to get it to you anyway. We're going to put a V navigator because I know we're going to have to cross Daylily at one two thousand, so we're going to put one two. one thousand zero miles per day one thousand five hundred feet per minute and now we'll start descending in eight minutes and fifty-three seconds, that's just another way to get ahead of the flight, you know you're going to have that crossing restriction, set that setting, keep it all planned and ready to go so you know when you're going to start a tango bravo clear table direct direct daily thank you once bravo nice so we were dragged enter enter daily as we are in sailing mode just off the coast the atlantic ocean november 843 jewelers here in the maintenance set of this past the fort pierce area three zero one five to one seven thousand that is a beautiful view pbm a tango bravo through one two thousand through one two thousand so here we go since we already know entered everything that we know we were going to expect to put two thousand on our altitude preselector, so we're not really going to start going down now because you know airplanes like to stay higher and so they would burn fuel better.

Up here we will start descending as soon as our vnab tells us, like I told you, we have our v-nav set up, we can still wait four minutes and 50 seconds before we prepare to descend to one two thousand to cross, that is. what's called a crossing restriction when you're flying if you get 18 uh for the pilots who are looking at that only vfr pilots right now and when we get to that vnab we'll get a message light that will flash that says approaching your v-profile navigation and then that's when we're going to start bringing it down to 1500 feet per minute so we can actually get the propeller rpm down to 1900 revolutions per minute from 2000, so by pulling this blue lever back we're basically changing the pitch of the propeller and now it's going to spin a little bit slower and what that does is give them a little bit quieter sound in the cabin.

Here I don't know if you can hear that, a little more relaxing, here we go and now. In fact, we are starting to get views of South Florida. All lights in sight in front three zero one five three you pass through a very populated area as if we were going to enter. The lights are just magical, so I'll be there. I'm happy to report to the boss when he gets to the ground that the plane was properly repaired. They did a great job there, an executive arrow, there is a TVM service center there and I will definitely return there for a future.

Turn right. Wow, I can't get over how beautiful it is out there. CBM, a bravo thing, contact Miami, come to 133.77 and hello from Captain Morgan, uh, Captain Morgan, welcome, come on. thank you for saying hello and 3377 851 tango bravo good evening from enjoy the video thank you yes captain morgan has been a palm beach driver for quite some time thanks for following me captain morgan I am a good evening 851 tango bravo 7000 we have x ray pbm 851 tango bravo miami come closer like runway nine left at opalacka secretary we have extra wait nine left one ten brother and I know we are going to descend here very soon we are going to slow it down below 200 knots we put our initial separator back that is the limitation, while the engines are running they like the plane is below 200 knots here we go 200 knots we will arrive just below here we are flipping the switch now the two flaps are going up in the entry area without being clear to ios 10.

About 30 seconds will pass later the light will come on in the main caution, here we go, so there's our initial separator lightning and we'll actually dim that light vector, oh. the lights on the announcer panel are set for night, so if they come on they won't completely blind you a tango turn right heading two seven five two seven five a tango very good two seven five seven with our heading error go back to heading mode wow look at the lights it's like Christmas time and it's pretty crazy so how do the lights stop out there once you get to the Everglades yeah they actually had to get a trapper today in Orlando to catch that alligator, it was about 10 to 15 feet long. for a bravo thing, the senate maintains six thousand seventeen six thousand eight five a bravo tango one hundred miami focus factors I don't know if you can see it down there, right in front of our wing, it's called the hard rock casino giant Guitar, that's the shape of the visual, get closer to the hotel and it's all lit up with some crazy colors.

We just went under the wing. Now it's really nice to see it at night. Every time I drive by there on the highway, I get distracted by traffic at two o'clock. one nautical mile one thousand two hundred people maintain six thousand I think it could be an airliner that is actually jetblue jetblue1048 jetblue 1048 November 1 tango bravo descent and maintenance 4000 contact approach 119 or 0.45 1945 maintain that 4,000 851 tango bravo tonight my number 851 tango bravo 4 thousand six hundred descend four thousand two eight zero heading eight the eight five one tango bravo mommy and pro charger the tango fights eight for one hitting two two session two zero zero now two zero zero nine five one tango bravo nine eight one bravo tango cancel approach clearance and turn left, heading right, we have to go back south here, almost all the way south, we are on a course of two zero zero, as you can see out the front window, out of the Everglades, it gets dark out there.

It's good to have instrument rating if you fly over the Everglades at night, especially without a moon. That 851 tango bravo, the city is holding up well, two thousand eight five, a tango bravo five twenty five, here we go two thousand seven twenty seven, I mean, yeah, it's. It's always a little spooky when you descend towards the black ground, but you should definitely make sure you have the right altimeter settings. It feels like you could crash into the ground if you're not paying attention. A bravo tango slide heading towards one. seven zero and keep one thousand six hundred one seven zero thousand six hundred if I want the tango bravo field site I'm busy there vlogging tower good evening our 851 tango bravo we are on a one seven zero course one thousand six hundred three five one tango bravo tower block do a straight approach runway nine left turn light nine left clear land straight down nine left clear to land 851 tango brother okay we're going to disengage the autopilot there and we're almost in line dragged up with the uh runway six five nine zero the left turn here does echo on a ramp or maintenance frequency and there it is right out there, sometimes it's hard to see if you're entering an unfamiliar airport at night, I'm used to this airport as it is on the home base of this plane, let's put our propeller forward again at 2000 rpm and we'll get ready to go to work and land this thing so you can see the runway is in sight, we're lined up with it below our On the first level of flap speed, we select the flaps and every time you activate the switch, you always make sure that it does what you wanted and we will make sure that it indicates and indicates and we will downshift within the limitation of that selected and indicating three green that it's always a good sign there you want to have those three green ones you always train for landing gear failures in the simulator every year that's my least favorite maneuver because you have to sit here and pump the hand pump a million times it gives you a good training, we have a 13 knot wind pushing directly against the plane right now, so it's always good that you always want to land and take off planes into the wind.

This airport has good LED lighting. A soft and pleasant air enters here. Wow, look at the lights over there, you can see downtown Miami. It feels like we are floating above the city. Here, in fact, you can see all the Christmas lights on and many of the houses. That's pretty nice. Look at the approach lights. I see the red light and two, so we're right on proper glide path 500. That's 500 feet off the ground and it's nice light air. We have not had any obstacles in this entire approach. Here is a beautiful set of LED lights you are finding.

This track better be a smooth coating. This whole approach has been perfect. Now we're picking up a little bit from a couple of bombs. Okay, we look good. I'm going to start easing the power by looking at the windsock. I can't see the wind is very light to the right back to the idle flight going to the flare wait there we go to the center line it's not that bad we'll just go back to the beta welcome to opal welcome miami florida guys I hope you enjoyed that beautiful flight at dusk at night for a bravo tango.

Turn right onto Charlie Contact Ground, all right, Charlie, on the ground if I want, brother, or he knows we like Charlie because that's the best way to taxi to get us quickly to our ramp and this is charlie up here. On the next taxiway we will return to the beta andwe'll slow it down a little more sometimes it's hard to get off the runway at night if you look ahead you'll see that yellow line That's a good guide to get you straight to the center of the taxiway so follow it. You won't have any problem. We will pass the entire coast here, clean the plane and contact land.

It's right up here. in front of us that's the entire coast good night tbm eight five one tango bravo clear nine to the left and charlie needs to go to the signature november 85 a tango bravo block the land taxi signature via november november 6 november november 6 of the ramp eight five one ten brother okay welcome to miami florida opal walker guys I hope you enjoyed that beautiful sunset flight if you hit that thumbs up button subscribe to the channel ring that little bell I'll be sure to notify you when I upload a video, I hope you're all doing well from wherever you look and we'll talk to you again someday soon foreigner foreigner, uh wow
