what a cool trip and great video! Things I noticed: interesting weather, interesting comms, the "celebrity canard" stuff at 18:40, express runup, shoutout to Violet!, fuel overflow, French headache. Good job editing down the footage and narrating it. Love the music too.
Thank you for all your vidéos. i'am looking your adventures from France where we fly on a Robin DR400 and i would like to know if there are Cozy in europe and where i can find informations about cozy... i do appeciate all the pictures with differents angles than your usal cockpit view, specialy this very impressive view of the cumulonimbus. fly safe ;-)
Great video. For every one minute people watch, theres usually 10 minutes of work that went behind it. The flying takes much less time than making the video about the flying. Its amazing the range on those little Cozys. Its a remarkable design. And yes always take the full runway! Never turn down free poker chips to mitigate risk.
English is the official language in Aviation to ensure that everyone can build and maintain SA and otherwise deal with ATC and other pilots no matter where you are in the World. ICAO finally made the decision to standardize on and require English proficiency for pilots in the late 1990s.
Correct, and in every other country in the world, even if they are speaking a different language on the radio, as soon as one person speaks English, everyone switches to English. Except...in Quebec.
Well no, many countries use their local languages and switch to english as needed on recreational and domestic flights but only english on international flights. But ideally, only english I agree, but it is not only in Quebec ;)
Hey Scott. You flew to my hometown in this video. It’s definitely a spectacular place. I also live in southern Ohio and I am a corporate pilot. We try and get to the maritimes often. Thanks for sharing.
Another great video Scott! Always enjoy and learn. Super interesting to hear French and can agree it would be a bit unnerving for determining SA. What a great trip and I'm looking forward to doing something like that! Cheers mate!
Great videologue Scott. What an epic journey! BTW, you three brothers have no distinguishing similarites, other than all of you being pilots, of course!
It really was a great trip, and made all the much better because it almost didn't happen! I'm glad it did, it had been far too long since I was in Nova Scotia.
A few comments/suggestions: 1) I think we might have discussed this during my visit in July, but your cloud encounters at 6500 ft. when talking to Montreal would have been completely avoidable if you had O2 in the cockpit for the both of you - you could have climbed to 12.5K, 14.5K or 16.5K ft. and been WAY over the tops of the clouds. 2) In concert with #1, unless the rules for FF are different in Canada, you're not REQUIRED to do what they ask - if they were putting you right into the cloud deck, you could have just declared that you were climbing to 10.5K ft. - if they kick you off FF, well, that's the price you pay for being safe(r). Don't hesitate to do what you need to do to be safe - YOU'RE PIC. 3) Given that on this trip, you were both solo and had a front seat passenger, you must have adjusted ballast in St. Catherines when picking up and dropping off - you should discuss the need to do this and the reasons for it, given that it's a MUST in COZY aircraft. 4) Lastly - practice holding the nose off the ground on landing - I don't think I've ever seen you land and not have the nose gear slap down relatively hard on every landing. It should be possible, unless your main gear is WAY too far aft, to touch down between 65 kt and 75 kt IAS and hold the nose off the ground into the high 50's before smoothly touching down - this increases aerodynamic braking if you're not using wheel brakes, due to the induced drag creation from lift at the higher AOA. Plus, it lowers the impact loads on the nose. Nice trip, and good weather planning.
1) we were actually ON oxygen at that point already, as I had planned for us to go up above that weather. That was the original, plan, but... 2) We were in the Montreal class C, which is a lot like our class B - you need clearance to enter, and you are in their positive control airspace. You can't just say "cancel" and go on your own way no more than they would let you do that inside one of our class B airspaces. I kept asking for higher, they kept denying it as it was going to conflict with their departures/arrivals. Had I known in advance that was going to be the case, I would have gone farther north and skirted their airspace entirely. 3) Definitely I did adjust my ballast - I didn't mention it in the video, but I'll mention that in future. 4) Yup. It's airspeed. I have been working on that actually. I've practiced it on some longer runways, and holding off touchdown until speed bleeds off allows me to hold the nosewheel off longer.
@@CanardBoulevard Interesting about the Class C/Class B comparison - didn't know that about Canadian airspace. The only thing I'll add is that if you were VFR, didn't want to file IFR (or couldn't) and were being directed to do something unsafe, you always have the option to declare an emergency and do whatever you need to do to be safe. That didn't seem to quite be the case here, so I'm not saying you should have done that, but you get the last word as PIC. In LA airspace once, VFR, I was being vectored right at some clouds. I told the controller that if he didn't let me turn/climb as requested, I'd have to declare an emergency because he was sending me through clouds. He wasn't pleased, but in the end, he didn't really have a choice and he vectored other folks around me. I try not to screw with them as they're just helping, but every once in a blue moon, you don't have a choice. Thanks!
As you took off I heard a voice say, "Traffic".... was that part of your warning system letting you know their were some planes in your vicinity? I guess there were 1-2 other planes above or trying to land but what I'm asking is whether it was part of your safety system warning you audibly & what was the location of the plane your system noticed? I'm asking the question using incorrect words but help.... lol, I think I know what I'm trying to ask you..... or not? Yikes, it's kool hearing your system do this but did it sense a flight directly over you or one that was landing behind you? Not important but it's a great feature, to my way of thinking..... yes, I'd want this help if I flew. Nice work up there & you've got some shades you pull over when the sun is beating down..... I bet it can get warm in there at times? Waiting on the next one already........ peace & GB ALL
You got it, that's exactly what it was. You heard the Cirrus who was on downwind for 27...that put him directly in front of me as I was taking off on runway 18. It saw that, and called "traffic" - which is what it does when it sees that there is traffic that is close, or that could be converging. I already knew he was there (which is why I asked where he was in the pattern) so it wasn't a problem, I came up behind and below him.
Yes, as a Non-Pilot all the speech is almost Greek to my ears & for me it's hard knowing who I'm hearing due to ATC's and other pilots. So when your Plane's safety feature spoke it added to my confusion..... lol, and I did hear the other guy in the pattern & you asking where he was. At that moment I was LQQKing out your front glass for another plane & found two specs on my laptop screen... so I was trying to find the plane for you.... funny huh? nice flight Captain
It looks like there is a glare off the dashboard. It seems like a dark cloth over the dash would resolve the problem. I am not familiar with the channel and would like to have seen a picture of the airplane at the start of the video. Also, I live in Medina, County, Ohio and I heard mention of Medina at the start of the video. I never actually heard for sure where the plane was starting from and I've never been to the Medina airport.
Ok this is outstanding. Like and subscribe, they obviously need a PA-46. So, click that stuff... Just saying. Not for him, for his wife. It is zero effort for us, and big deal for her. So... Consider actually liking and subscribing.
NavCanada FSS/Radio is so super handy, I'm really glad these folks exist. Love the content too, great stuff!
I like these cross-country flights.
what a cool trip and great video! Things I noticed: interesting weather, interesting comms, the "celebrity canard" stuff at 18:40, express runup, shoutout to Violet!, fuel overflow, French headache.
Good job editing down the footage and narrating it. Love the music too.
Thanks for all the kind words! I write and record the music you hear as well.
@@CanardBoulevard I was guessing it was your music! very cool.
Thank you for all your vidéos. i'am looking your adventures from France where we fly on a Robin DR400 and i would like to know if there are Cozy in europe and where i can find informations about cozy...
i do appeciate all the pictures with differents angles than your usal cockpit view, specialy this very impressive view of the cumulonimbus.
fly safe
;-)
There are a few Cozy aircraft in Europe! I would join the Cozy owners group on Facebook, you will find quite a bit of information and expertise there.
Making a video this long interesting is tough, but you did a really good job, thanks.
Loved it. Great flying, ADM, planning, narration, and scenic views. Please post more videos like this.
Great trip and coverage, thanks for sharing your weather adventures!

Loved tthe music you wrote for the Nova Scotia part of the trip. Great tune!
:) That was all Hydrasynth, with 808 drums courtesy the Montage.
Thank you ! One of the best ever! Really enjoyed.
Great video. Enjoy your trips. Can’t wait for your next one
Great trip, thanks for sharing.
Hey Scott. You flew to my hometown in this video. It’s definitely a spectacular place. I also live in southern Ohio and I am a corporate pilot. We try and get to the maritimes often. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate all your videos and effort you make for all of us brother! Blessings and safe travels always 😊👍🏼
another excellent video!

Good stuff thanks for sharing 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Great flight! Thank you for documenting it 😉.
1:02:18 EEEEEEK !!!! you flew into the ERIE TYRIANGLE!!!! EEEEEEEK!!!! missing time ;) ?? LOL
awesome ride along thanks for the share!
You stopped at my home airport CYSJ!
And I could see my Ercoupe when you fueled up.
I remember seeing your plane there!! You don't see a lot of Ercoupes anymore.
Good Job
Thank you. Enjoyed it.

DKK! I used to instruct out of there. How does that airplane slip? Can you dump altitude pretty well?
You can slip it, but it definitely doesn't come down as fast as a Piper or a Cessna. No flaps, low drag, high glide ratio.
- Cool.
You need to get you IR rating , just a thought. Loved your video
I have my instrument rating, and have had for 30+ years. Still not flying through thunderstorms!

What are the odds seeing these two warbirds sitting on a remote airfield.

Editing sucks but your vids show your great work. Keep up the great work Scott.

PA-46 would be great, don't let my wife see the inside of it, she'll never want to ride in any other plane! 😂
