This was awesome!!!

Men give up so much of their passions for wife and kids. Happy Father’s Day. Don’t get too old. Between gf and wives is when you truly concentrate on what makes you happy not just hormones.

Similar Journey to mine. Thanks for sharing your story.

Getting back to Human Factors training, my professor (Psychology of Perception) once asked us to monitor a light in a dark room, he asked us to keep track of which way the light was moving, and at the end of the exercise asked us to describe which way the light was moving. After getting input and developing a consensus from the class on which way the light moved, he confessed that the small light had never actually moved, and that our eyes move in the dark and without a point of reference, the light appears to move in the opposite direction. The important lesson from this exercise is to learn that no matter how sharp our eyesight and other senses are, we cannot always trust what we are perceiving because our brain has to interpret all the signals from our eyes and ears before we can even try to interpret what these signals are telling us...

It's difficult to reboot your mind after encountering IMC induced spatial disorientation. Your brain is trying to sort through the reasons for sloppy reactive flying, and to fix what is now behind your airplane instead of moving ahead to the next task, which is why I think you fixated on other items like navigation and lost track of your altitude on 3 occasions. I love videos with mistakes because these are the best lessons. I studied human factors at UCLA as part of my Psychology degree, which has been really helpful in understanding airborne spatial disorientation. It's useful to stay calm and understand that everyone is prone to disorientation during certain conditions and circumstances, and my favorite strategy is to pretend you're in a simulator and playing a videogame so that you force yourself to ignore inner ear and other biological cues that disagree with your instruments and rely strictly on the visual cues on the screens and gauges in front of you. I wonder if autopilot manufacturers could install a button for spatial disorientation episodes that would automatically level the airplane automatically so pilots could catch up with certain tasks before proceeding to the next phase of flight (cruise, descent, arrival, approach, landing, etc.). I once witnessed a friend who became so disoriented after entering the clouds that he forgot his crew resource management lessons. He was sitting right next to someone who was a qualified pilot who was Not disoriented. As we approached our assigned heading, I could see he was going to overshoot it, so I mentioned our assigned heading, and then started tapping on the heading indicator, finally reminding him of our assigned heading again as he blew right past it. Eventually he confessed he had no memory of my directions or input as he was working through aviating, navigating and communicating while disoriented. This episode shows how task saturated our brains can become under these conditions, and how important teamwork and CRM is in the cockpit. Knowing the terrain involved in these approaches to Oxnard and Camarillo, altitude is the priority and navigating is secondary. Excellent work and great video...

We make an icing detection device that connects to your iPad. Would love to discuss getting you a device to try

This is why jfk jr died plus he didn't know how to use the instruments well either and it was completely dark over the ocean

If it can't be legally used for instrument approaches, that's a deal killer for me. But I must admit, I've never used my Century IIIB for practice instrument approaches, or IPCs... In fact, in my first solid IFR flight many, many years ago, I forgot I even had an autopilot, I was so nervous not to screw up. It's stuck with me ever since, I guess....

Great video .. but the question is , plus the $30k for the plane , how much was the renovation including the electronics ?

Well done. Well done indeed! Captain Doug

tell us what you learned if you can please, i would like to learn if anything the rest of us pilots can avoid, thanks

Hahah amazing, very funny edited video and absolutely love the energy of your family and special props to your "mechanic" !😅👌

Beautiful video mann! ❤🔥Don’t worry about it you did great in the amount of stress you had! Always moving forward with the mentality of learning! Take me with you. I’d be a great Co-pilot G4 Pilot! Great kudos to you! 🙌🏽

I just had an IPC today even though I was current. Let’s f’n go!

god bless your family and your lovely kids, please i really want to know, if i have a long flight lets say 7 hours flight on an airplane from new york to london how much oxygen inside the airplane at 35000 to 40000 feet at high altitude will i have the same symptoms that you guys had before using oxygen device?? And what is the difference when it comes to feeling symptoms in your own plane and the commercial airplane?

I would love to upgrade my steam gauges I just can’t justify the insane purchase prices and high cost of installing glass panels. That extra money would go a long way towards actually flying

What a beautifully crafted video !

The bang for buck with Dynon is insane compared to Garmin. Spending 40K with Dynon will give a powerful IFR set up installed. 60K on Garmin will only give you the parts. You'll have to spend another 40K to install it.

Social media destroying Baja.

Man, I gotta say, you are a good plane owner that takes care of their plane!

Fuel management with flow and range is the best bit for VFR.

The feeling she's expressing I can relate to as a pilot. I still get the feeling when flying. Glad to see content like this, Great job!

Yeah IFR should be required for PPL

Is it a reason why he didn't tell them he was feeling disorientated?

Solid video. Very relatable. In our pursuit to become perfect pilots, that ever unachievable goal, pride can get in the way of sharing our mistakes. Thank you. I really appreciate how willing you are to use your experiences as a tool to teach the rest of us. Quickly becoming my favorite aviation channel.

Just got a fully equipped Dynon/Avidyne Seneca III. This video definitely helped me get up to speed on it even though I can see it was a few software versions behind now. Thanks for the info!

Wow this video was incredible

3 degree glide slope can be done much easier…. Half your ground speed & ad a zero. 140 KTS GS / 2 = 70 plus 0 = 700 feet a minute.

Nice

Awesome video bro...gr8 team co-operation

I'm in my mid-50 and have been dreaming of getting my private pilot's license for thirty years. $15k-$20k to complete the course is out of my reach. I would love to use my master's in HR to work for a company that offers flying lessons. If you hear of such a company, let me know. 😊

Sitting here eating lunch with my toddler and holding my 8 day old daughter trying to hold back my tears at that outro.. well done

Thanks for the motivation bro I’m about start my career now 🎉

This one time, I hit light chop on descent. Scariest moment of my life. Could barely type the pirep I was shaking so much. - Delta pilot

GREAT video! Thanks for sharing something personal and extremely beautiful that you and your family do together. I pray you have thousands of safe flights and a lifetime of enjoyment together.

Good video About xwings I use Decrab, Is not , Crab angle ,or Sideslip, Is combinatión of the las 2, but you land with LG level, I used from Pitts to Airbus 320, also on DC-3, C-46, and DC-6 in all been Captain. And for a Glide 3°, descend , you must loose 300' x 1 NM, and for that Is G/Speed , d ivide by 2 example 140/2=70, so you add a 0 that Is 700/minute, of descend, well shortly I Will have Manual where I talk about that, and more. "Happy Landings"

Really incredible ! Nice job of restauration.

Eric - what kind of landing height sensor do you have installed that beeps at you the closer you get to the runway? Can you post a link?

I got obsessed over motorcycle, and got my endorsement. I dont own a bike. I obsessed over getting my ppl. I dont see the point. For me, i make 77k a year and flying seems like a hobby rather than an investment/asset...what wpuld i do with it? Can i make money with it? Im torn

Whatever you do mate, just don't grow a beard. You look just like prince Harry.

I am a VFR only pilot and fly in northern and central CA. Mostly uncontrolled airports. I want to learn the best route from Bakersfield to Long Beach Daugherty field. Any suggestions? I’ll probably hire my CFI to help plan and fly it the first time.

Flight planning is the best way to navigate turbulence. If there is no way to avoid it, flying close to gross and slow down is the best you can do and for the love of all things, turn off your autopilot!

Hi. I have a dog about the size of your dog Maltese Shih Tzu measuring 13" around head under chin over ears. I don't know if the small size is best in the 4 paws aviation ear muffs or the medium. 13" is Max measurement for small and minimum measurement for medium. What size did you get and was your dogs measurement similar/ less or more? Can you tell me the dimensions of the out shell and inner space for the ear? I emailed the company but as yet I haven't heard anything yet. I'd like to get them asap. Thank so much if you can help.

Excellent storytelling and cinematography. Have me hooked and now it's time to binge and catch up on all your videos!

Outrageous.

Yah stick it to the man!

When your instructor first flew the canyon in an F-100 you know he is the REAL DEAL! Amazing!

Thank you, Great video.

Holy shit you can see the outside through the door seal during the closeup on his face angle shots… I know it’s not a pressurized plane but idk why I thought planes would be as tight as cars around the door jams… that’s wild!!

I have been doing landings at Sedona through flight simulator and I always have to do at least one go around. I am always coming in high but thought it was just me and my limited visibility. Glad to see real life is not that different. I keep thinking of my instructor so many years ago saying “there is no shame in doing a go around.”
