That radio interference sounds like an electric problem. Electric issues often cause rf interference issues.

So in your thumbnail there's a lot of ice on the wing. Where does this happen in the video? That's a bit clickbaity and somewhat deceptive. I was hoping to see how you dealt with that ice. Was it during the preflight and you simply needed to use some de-icing fluid?

@35:45 I can't see your screens super clearly, and didn't see your briefing/ setup, but it looks like FEPEX is an "at or above" altitude on the GTN. So, it's calculating a Vpath to a different fix... maybe BEAAR at 3k? If you'd have changed that to an "at" then it would have anchored the Vpath to cross FEPEX *at* 3600, like you were expecting. Also worth noting, You can specify/ change things like degrees down, or vertical speed down to set the decent angle/ rate it should calculate... I'd HIGLY recommend spending some time in a sim (with an experienced CFII) to learn the intricacies... figuring out how an autopilot works, especially in the soup is... less than desirable. ;-) MC, Manhattan Flight Club, NYC

As i was about to comment about APR mode you said it! Nice vid man!

Omg I can’t stand for this panel design, after I flew the G7 for 5hours , I’m so glad I have the G6

Single engine IFR into known icing eeeeck.

Here's an observation from being a 121 checkairman and old school CFI. I would have busted the chops of a pilot for not keeping their hands and feet on the controls during an approach. No airline pilot I've seen flies an approach with hands in their lap. Not only does the book tell us too, but when the AP kicks off, and they do, the pilot *already* knows what the AP's control inputs are/were, and what the AP was trying to do or not. Also, especially in icing (which changes the aerodynamics of every airfoil regardless of how capable the FIKI systems is) the feedback from the controls will tell the pilot instinctively if the AP is or is not flying "normally" as compared to a clean airplane. Quick story. Was in the 767 sim for recurrent, FO is flying this half. Every takeoff, as soon as the wheels were off the ground, he'd aggressively take his feet off of the rudders with a loud thud lol. On the 4th takeoff, the instructor failed an engine 1 second after that thud. High power, low speed, high AOA...there was a fight to keep the jet upright for a good 10 seconds and it blew his concentration until we landed. We all had a laugh, and the point was taken. If you've made it this far, I enjoy your humility and attention to detail. Self debriefs are great! Keep up the great work! I'd put my family on your plane. Sub'd.

Great video! I love the walk through in the beginning and love that plane. Well do and thanks for sharing!

Yo ando buscando la de all i need is you pero la versión que aparece en la película

You got plenty of time to capture that glide path Maverick!. Charlie Charlie... the pattern is full... you just gotta hit the brakes and he'll fly right by.

Maybe your canopy is refracting light in a phenomenon called chromatic dispersion thereby creating a spectrum of color, e.g. rainbow. Just sayin.

Clicked off about a minute into the annoying music.

Likes Pontiac

Great vid, btw there is some great skiing around there. Cool lookin plane, inside and out. Thanx.

6000 feet, things are usually cool.

Knowing PTK well and given the approximate date you flew from the date this was posted, that lake off 27 isn’t frozen enough, it’s been pretty warm until Jan 15

On the 750 you need to set the altitude in there for the v nav, not the alt bug. It will show up on the EFIS as a magenta altitude. I am guessing it’s similar with your avionics.

Refraction.. like a rainbow.

Hi Scott, Here’s what I think happened with your VNAV. Looking at the approach plate, it looks like the altitude constraints were set up to get you to 3000 at BEAAR. AS such, the system calculates a constant descent to get you at 3000 not before BEAAR with the additional constraint that you place on it to not descend below 3600. The system crossed FEPAX above the constrained altitude as it was on a descent to get to 3000 not before BEAAR with If you had all the correct VNAV restraints in your flight plan, you could have selected 2600 for your bugged altitude and the system would do the restraints down to RIFKI, where you would pick up the GS. Hope that sheds some light on it.

Nice flight! What music were you using during you approach and landing?

Scott, you mind if I email you?

I learned in Cherokees, Warriors and C-150s. How does this compare?

I would rather teach my passenger how to land it. Do 5-7 trips around the pattern. She we learn enough to land it safely.

Is that 4000' fix a hard altitude or at or above altitude?

Nice glass cockpit

I’m just a flight sim pilot so take this w a grain of salt but in flight sim you can do what I call VNAV intervention and make it descend earlier than the calculated TOD in general in flight sim I find VNAV is best if u start it about 10nm before its TOD it often over shoots by about that much but that’s flight sim your mileage may vary. There should be an option on your legs page under VNAV when enabled you can hit direct VNAV decent now and it will show u the estimated VS it’s gonna do on its way down. You may know this but u can edit VNAV altitudes and set your own on any fix in your flight plan.

Also doesn't look like that airport uses any Clearway either, which can be used!

Only reason i went for the DA 62 was that engine.

Another great video! I asked the same question? On the vnav but realized it will capture the approach also most people that comment on the ice are probably from a warmer climate pilots don’t have much experience in icing conditions a few things 1. Air met for icing in the upper Midwest is almost every other day 2. Good pilots know there outs either up or down or 180 3. Experience mid west pilots know when turn to on the tks and what level of tks to use 4. Fiki stands for Flight into Known icing Thx again Scott for a great video 😊

I made a mistake in buying a G7 SR20. No FIKI is an issue I didn’t properly consider. On the plus side I guess I get to go plane shopping again or move full time to warmer climate 😂

I always have two pitot covers. When the ramp personnel pulled my plane out of the hanger, I had a pitot cover go missing. Cheap insurance policy. I also always carry an extra quart of oil and a Makita battery-powered air compressor (the size of a portable drill) to inflate tires if/as needed)... just a few of the "extra" things I pack with my airplane.

Check underneath each aileron to ensure the bolt is safety-wired. This is commonly missed.

Nice to see you demonstrating the importance of proper safety and even asking for feed back how you could improve. It’s much better than rushing and not being as safe as possible for every flight

32:23 It may be caused by ice on the radio antennas because they do not have a anti ice feature and the ice that gets on the antennas may block the transmission

I like the tip to send off your wife to check the lights around the airplane on a freezing day 🤣

2:09 what an oddly specific G7 thing to say!!!

How many vests do you own? The finance bro look is for silly geese. Why keep your extremities (which lose heat first) more cold than your core? Also they didn't leave you a red carpet or water bottles for you near the entrance, WORST SERVICE EVER!

Icy in sr22? IFR? You actually do want to crash! One day your chances for clicks will end badly! Funny dude! All you have to add yet is mountain flying and night condition so you’d be four out of four then perfect what could possibly go wrong?

Dude had his pax touch a pitot when on. Not to smart.

man, you’ve gone from a few cameras in the cockpit and documenting your journey to spending another $150 on a microphone lol. it’s a full production now. i’m assuming your wife’s been helping act as your camera person. how’s she feel to have a full on aviation vlogger of a husband and some of the extra duties she’s been asked to help with? daughter this time but also your wife other times?

It's called a pilot' glory. Your plane needs to be between the source of light (i e., the sun) and the water droplets that will back-scatter the light from the sun. Your plane is casting a shadow that will be in between circles of light. The size of the circles depends on the size of the droplets and their distribution that vary upon atmospheric conditions. Besides the beauty of this optical phenomenon, this tells you that you are in the presence of moisture, and therefore, depending on the OAT, you should watch out for catching ice.

if you ever venture west to (HXF) I would be happy to chauffeur you around for lunch. The airport is only 2 miles from me, 3400' runway

New sub. Glad to hear they take good care of runways, I’m coming up to Pontiac this week. Great video!

It’s called a “Glory.” It matters in this kind of flight because it tells you there’s liquid water in the cloud tops. Cheers.

Love your videos! Very entertaining and honest. Keep up the great work man!

I just let the AI take care of all the mundane tasks...😉

Overcast clouds can bounce radio waves. We used to call it “skip”. It will usually skip great distances.

TKS is a solid product if used as an anti-ice and not a de-icing tool. Will check out your video later

Another great video. I am a Broncos fan but last night was was cheering for the Lions. Sorry they couldn't pull it off.

Hey Scott! I was holding short in KLAN a few days ago when u landed, got a little video of your landing and she was greasy! Big fan keep up the big work
