loaded my flight plan for the flight out it is in the info section in case you're wondering gotta run through my bit checks on the overhead panel here a lot of you asked me to dialog these as i do them and it's a little bit tough to do so but basically a roll and spoiler flap check here one two visibility one zero sky clear below one two thousand tips two six two point one six altimeter three zero one one r nav approach and use slanting and parting runway two so damson advisories ils dmv out of service 5g no tam in effect ground control is for vehicles only contact tower 125.6 for all

five climbing one three thousand see senator john 3 800 heavy is 6900 climbing 1 2 000. giant 38 hundred chicago center welcome common mainstream level two three zero climate maintenance level two three zero john 1300 everything so i just did this flight in reverse from eagle to gary i didn't film it i had uh family on board they are not and you can see now it's kind of moved out to the uh east a little bit so we'll be in good shape uh some of this might come into play so we'll have to work our way around that but uh for the most part it seems to be uh dissipating and moving to the east which is advantageous to us i can go menu eagle so eagle right now is 240 at seven which is nice because it's runway two five uh ten miles and clear pretty warm 25 degrees although up where our house is it's generally quite a bit cooler climate through 18 000 feet there's a 18 000 foot climb check we'll do basically want to make sure the cabin is pressurizing ideally you don't want to find that out at 18 000 feet i'd like to find that out earlier a lot of you reach out to me and uh come here and uh indianapolis on a layover or something and and i'm no longer in indianapolis had some relatively significant uh professional uh changes contact chicago center on one two four point seven two twenty four seventy two zero golf mike good day chicago premiere 390 golf mike flight level one eight zero climbing flight level two trees arrow fairway six forty four she got started climbing about three two zero chicago premiere 390 golf mike 18-5 climbing flight level two three zero three nine zero mike your golf mike three two zero level three two zero 390 golf mine so anyway as i was saying i've had some uh relatively significant changes in my professional uh career and no longer in indianapolis my wife and i split time between naples florida where you've seen a lot of the videos out of and the eagle colorado area which is why you've seen a lot of flights in and out of eagle uh recently very little business flying anymore it's been a very very nice change center throwing 644 20.9 kilometers two three i would say a bit of a dream come true so uh i feel very fortunate senator throwing 644 21 3 climbing two three 644 chicago center climbing five three two zero and feel very fortunate to have all of you riding along with me so let's take a look at performance flight log so we've been airborne 11 minutes used 360 pounds of fuel covered 47 miles over the ground and let me see we can go back we've got a fuel management gives us a bunch of information basically again 360 pounds is what we've used 14.50 total is our fuel flow at the moment as we continue to climb that will decrease and the airplane becomes very fuel efficient up at altitude so right now this is saying we are going to land at 8 44 local time in 2 hours and 14 minutes uh as i said i don't know that's going to be 100 accurate i think that uh on the way out here we had um about 70 knot tail winds tail winds uh those are going to be headwinds on the way uh the return so i think we're going to be closer to excuse me southwest 936 contact chicago center one two five point five seven two hours twenty five fifty seven 855 maybe something like that we'll see i'd have a little bit of maneuvering around due to the weather that's uh over colorado and again we can look at that by going to our nexrad uh picture i can pull up the whole country see our little airplane there and i can zoom in on any area i also get quite a bit of information on my ipad as well so coming into eagle we will do we'll come over a kremling and do the lda runway 2-5 approach even went on a clear day like today i'll generally do that approach the lda runway 2-5 glide slope and the visual glide slope the vasi glide slope do not overlay each other so as you come in uh and transition to a visual approach at maybe a couple mile final uh you'll start to hear the glide slope warnings uh from the airplane indicating that we're below the ils glide slope but uh typically you'll see the vases on the side of the runway and they'll be indicating that you're on glide slope so there's a note on the um instrument approach plate that references that uh occasionally i'll get comments about people uh saying oh you're ducking below the glide slope so um anyway you can do with that information what you want nice long runway at uh eagle they actually have uh if you follow me on instagram you know i've kind of shown in the past some 757s coming in there which coming in in and out of there which is pretty impressive really tells me it's a pretty muscular airplane pretty impressed by that so july 3rd today these guys are a little quiet either that or i've lost my radio speaking of radios my headset that i absolutely love one of the uh cords has become frayed and it is intermittent so i've gotta they don't sell the thing in the u.s anymore but i gotta contact the manufacturer and see if they'll help me out with a repair because i really like the headset that hangs around your neck and has the molded earpieces custom made for your ears for my ears the most comfortable headset i've ever worn as a matter of fact it doesn't even do it justice to call it a headset i'm not sure what you'd call it necklace set i don't know but um it's really nice so as you can see nobody's back there just beautiful up here gonna see my camera set up here's a little um what the heck they call these cubes a little gopro there that i've got to film the dash more obviously the one i've got in my hand i actually use a handheld audio recorder actually it's not a handheld audio recorder it's a remote audio recorder i don't even know if it's a remote audio recorder hey here's what it is you guys can see it i'm at a loss for what you call it digital audio recorder how about that okay we're gonna uh continue our climb here shortly to flight level four zero zero turn things back on on our approach into eagle right after a long time i've been up to 60s which shows over here some places in the 50s all right so we have been uh cleared 40 thousand to thirty two thousand about two hours ago we're now down to thirty to five level three zero zero finish over four years in the 40s 50s and 60s so we've been heading that way everybody goes pretty much uh let's see about a good 15 heading at least from where you are now to go around it the eagle tower closes at 7 p.m so it's uh we're going to be landing uh hour and a half hour and 45 minutes after that so uh it'll be just like a uncontrolled field with respect to the radio calls the weather's good at uh eagle went straight down the runway five knots so there's no excuse for not having a nice landing people go right up to 110 heading from your position uh did you try to do it right uh and they're going to experience point airport again we are coming up on the front range of uh 130 440 miles upon you let that work out to 26 24 inflatable three zero 2624 i five still a pretty significant cell there to the south i guess okay i believe it was one three five one two three nine to go flank yeah thirty five twelve yeah see ya denver premiere three nine zero golf mike flight level three zero three nine zero five seven character and you give her the best sunsets out here three four zero yeah we lost it because the uh high uh blow over for the thunderstorms would be some reason these uh 320 was just losing in there 301 yeah and um you might get some chop and tell about um maybe meeker and then after that it seems like an improved taking so we will be landing right at about sunset although it'll still be pretty bright so i have to land taxi to my hanger and then i actually have to put the airplane away myself oh i know the struggle it's real right pretty easy process my two hanger mates are in there a uh phenom 100 and a citation mustang so we're all here at the moment it's not actually level two seven zero pilots discretion 390 gold mic we're heading there now okay starting to come over the mountains now i don't know if you can see them so the way the sun's kind of going through the clouds there makes it a little hard to see but they are there
