I hear myself in Kristin. Thank you for sharing. I came off my last flight in tears for no reason than ONE large bump! I’m learning to try to calm my fears. Thank you!!

Been watching you since the start. Even used dial a pilot last November for a flight to Florida from Philly. Something I think would be good to touch on or explain is the crash that happened in Brazil. I know it's always said, planes just dont fall out of the sky, but in this case, it did.

What a GREAT video. And the timing of the "minor" red light and the procedures to diagnose it and continue to fly the plane! !! !!!

Love the A36. Need an airplane tour 👍🏼

very bad fear of heights question! as someone who's been falling in love with smaller aircraft, and would love to go on a flight in one (as a passenger) once in my life, how does one overcome that for a fun/enjoyable flight? :0 is it possible?

Huh! where is the dog?

Can't watch because of the vocal fry.

How tall are you? looking feedback for the size of the cabin in the Bonanza 36 i am 6'0 feet want know if i can fit comfortable in it.

How did you get into aviation?

Good situational awareness. Nice landing.

If I regularly fly with friends and family, I would make sure they are able to land it.

I always ask pilots a very simple question. I know you always try to reduce the risks. What happens if you are incapacitated on takeoff. What would happen if you were the only occupant? What would happen if you had three passengers on board and they did not know how to fly?

Excellent Analysis and Explanation!….Nicely Done ✅

Not sure how this relates to flying apprehensions of light planes…..and that’s perfectly ok…….It is an outstanding video… Nicely Done ✅

I just came across this from a podcast I found and it’s been so helpful just listening to these! I fly today, and it’s a short flight but I’m very much an anxious flyer

New sub. Enjoyed the ride. Not sure how your panel is equipped, looks like you have an electronic standby instrument, if so it might be time to remove all the vacuum driven stuff. Those pumps aren’t cheap.

I enjoyed the video but was curious about one thing. Why didnt the airline show up as a target on the adsb when it flew past you?

Bringing back memories. Use to fly out of O61 to all the South Bay airports and a few times to San Carlos in a PA-28R. I was one of those small plane "commuters".

been there. done that. hours of boredom. moments of shear terror😊

Curious - you turned "altitude mode" off on the autopilot while descending into KSQL. Why would you do this in comparison to dialing in an altitude and let the plane descend on auto pilot?

20 degree turn for noise abatement?

Your bonanza paint job looks pretty cool ! Can photos be seen somewhere ? Thx

On departure, did you have to comply with "apparently" unwritten departure procedure (that is, not published anywhere but at the airport)?

What you guys have I think is really unique and useful and entertaining. Stuff I'd like to see. Just random and variety is great. For those of us that don't fly often, and when we do it can feel like an alien activity, tips on how to prepare, carry or or check in, being efficient, things that help people feel more prepared, even making our way through airports - things that ultimately make flights more pleasant, and of course love the experiences of where you've been, recommendations!. Things that are topical in the news is great. And some sort of email blast in constant contact or something. I enjoy sometimes reading in -flight magazines, I was a journalism major and almost went to work for one. Now I'm a public infrastructure/land rights consultant, wife is a therapist, Even reading inspiration of self help related articles. At the core of it all, I think people love flying and going places and just the whole experience. Sorry for the long note!

I only had paper charts. How spoiled you are today!

I remember my first required solo took me from San Jose (Reed Hillview) north to Ukiah then to Auburn and back to San Jose. For me the most challenging parts were climbing out of Ukiah to get altitude to head east to Auburn. Then I had a little trouble actually spotting the Auburn airport (the location I flew to in 1979 seemed different) . I was chasing the runway downhill that day due to the prevailing winds. Other that than it was smooth 'sailing'.

Thank you for sharing, very nostalgic as I received my private pilot license from a San Carlos FBO in 1970. Flew to Auburn and Alta Sierra often, always VFR and upon return used Mount Diablo as guide along with a paper sectional. GPS technology has sure changed navigating. Thanks again for your professional and detailed flight information.

Thanks! This is very instructive.

What’s up brother. I met you at the AAA Career Day. That’s a beautiful plane you have there. It’s always awesome to see TH-cam videos pop-up with flying from your home area.

I really enjoyed that. Aspiring MSFS pilot.

so why do you taxi with your hands on nothing ?? ...not smart

I've always wondered why communication from air traffic control has to be verbal? Is it simply because they want your eyes outward, like in cars? Depending on the radio quality, it's difficult to hear and I feel control tower has to be the bottleneck when there's a lot of traffic in the air..

I work right next to this airport, and you can see my building when you land. You mention it briefly but you are commuting to work at SFO for your commercial piloting job? Very nice commute. I've always wondered what it would be like to do the Truckee -> San Carlos commute for work.

Excellent video. It was a challenge, however, to hear everything said because of the background communications from air traffic controllers.

Nice dash. Awesome techmology.

how long is total travel time from checking plane to landing and leaving plane in hangar or whatever?

I've flown the KSTS>KAUN and back trip in a DA40 hundreds of times and seeing this vid that I randomly stumbled across brought me right back. like for real all the frequency's and other numbers came right back... Thanks for posting and great airmanship!

Such an awesome video. great education for travelers. thank you.

Nice video. I'm guessing you were a USAF Pilot. USAFA? ROTC? Nice airplane as well. We fly a P-35 Bonanza out of KMRY.

Do you ever file IFR on this route? John ATP/CFII SMEL

you might know the other Auburn pilot Air Wagner " and thanks for riding along". been watching his channel for years. he does a good job, like you, of talking thru his flying procedures. enjoyed the content, keep it up.

Your ATC Audio is too loud and wipes out your audio so that we don't hear all you have to say. Suggest you listen to your video and make sure you dial down your ATC Audio next time. \😉

A beautiful professionally flown educational fight. I was impressed and enjoyed your sharing this one. Thank you.

Go for it!

I lived in San Carlos Calif while going to Carlmont High school, did not remember that they had an airport.

Hey by the way, your landing gear is down

Whoa...a gyro warning?!?! That's something I've never seen before. Subscribed.

It would have been nice if you would have turned down the background radio chatter so we could hear you..

Excellent

Oh, this is fun. TH-cam sent push notification - love the goal of this channel - to calm down the fear of flying. Featuring real airline pilots. Subscribing. I am a fan❗️🫡
