I'm a student pilot who will be taking their PPL exam in the next couple of days. Videos like this one motivate me 100% to stick with it. I've hit a couple of slumps with my studies and I thank you for reminding me what I've striving for. Please keep uploading these fantastic videos and I hope I can step in your shoes one day :)
I am still pre-solo but I am in the same boat as you. I have even more of a motivation because I work line at the FBO and meeting pilots and seeing the planes just keeps me going. As a matter of fact, I just got done servicing an ERJ-135 that was here for a charter. (We don’t get them all that often)
You can do it! Honestly enjoy this journey, it goes by fast! Feels like just yesterday I was going through the same slumps you are! YOU CAN DO IT!
I’ve been working on my hrs to go to airlines but I swear you and Owen got me wanting to fly Gulfstreams with y’all! Look like fun
You should!
Honestly same dude!!😂
Do it!
lol I haddd to comment on this, I’m 22 currently trying to pursue a career in aviation & choose the best route I should take (financially & career wise) , watching gear down has definitely been motivation to fly Gulfstreams he make it look sooo fun!
Your videos are the best…enjoy the hell out of’em. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! It means a lot! Cheers
I’m glad I caught this channel before it blows up. Your content is amazing, I fly out east and seeing the inside look at what goes on part 91 on these flights is rare. And the man still reply’s to comments, keep it up bro.
Thanks for the awesome comment! Glad you’re enjoying the content! Cheers man!
Thank You Captain for the ride along it was awesome 👏
Glad you enjoyed it
Epic vids, love it! That BNB looked amazing -thanks for taking us along
It was! Thanks for the support!
Tommy your ability to combine your entrepreneurial spirit and love for aviation is impressive and inspiring. Travel nurse looking for a career switch and starting by shooting for PPL this summer. Thanks again for the content.
Love it! When your $$ is right make the switch!!!
Nice work on this one. Loved the takeoff/landing shots !
Glad you enjoyed it, going to put a lot more emphasis on cockpit stuff for you guys and gals!
Congrats on 15K. Great AirB&B in Phoenix, living the life
Thanks so much!
Another amazing video. Keep em coming 🤙
Thank you so much!!!
Love this channel.
Thank you!!!
I use navigraph to update my NAV database…..it happens both wirelessly and automatically. Of course it’s an addon for Microsoft flight simulator, so not only is it far less complicated to operate, but it’s my desk (which is substantially less expensive!). Love the channel….it’s really interesting learning the more trivial aspects of flying, the geekier side of the business so to speak. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to seeing what’s next!
Haha I wish I could update from my desk lol… this day the loader was acting up. It actually too 2 hours to load, I was late picking up the boss due to the slow data load. Thanks for watching! I appreciate the support!
slightly different flavor of pilot - more of a bush pilot (which I was in North BC Canada) in appearance - but in reality a very professional and competent corporate pilot - so that's what counts. You know your stuff and being an AME welllllll that just impresses me all to heck. I enjoy your videos - keep 'em coming. Safe travels.
Thanks Steve I appreciate the support!
Thank you for sharing your trip.
Thanks for watching!
@@gear_down You are welcome. Fly safe.
Thank you!
Epic video! Really cool being able to see the life of corporate pilots.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this channel!
Thank you!!

Thank you so much 😁
You and Owen make a great team when he flies with you thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed this one!
Love supporting the channel and glad to see it grow. Cheers bro.

Merch coming soon!
Awesome video! Just finishing up my CFI training with just over 250hrs TT. Always wanted fly a Global or Gulfstream but everyone I talk to tells me 121 is where it’s at. Your videos are telling me otherwise. Good shit!
There’s a ton of options in this industry! You Don’t have to go the traditional route! Congrats on the CFI!!!
Refreshing.......down to earth.....
Appreciate that!!! Thanks for watching. :)
Wow! You are a lucky guy! I used to work for Gulfstream at the Brunswick facility. Awesome company! Got to go along on some check out flights. The G4 is a great aircraft!

Hahah me too sometimes. It makes bit of a difference when you’re in charge though. Thanks for the comment and support!
It's so cool to see everything from a pilot perspective! I am an avionics tech working for GAC right now and envy your totally kick ass job.
Thanks James I’m an A&P-I/A also… Avionics… you’re a brave guy!
@@gear_down I’m also an a&p and wanting to become a pilot just like u. Did you go through the part 147 school ? And does the job let u do maintenance on the aircraft ?
Yes I did full A&P school
Yes I do MX on the all the planes I fly
Really great video! Here are some things I'd love to see as well: Montage of whatever you get into while you're there, mini-interview of the co-pilot, landings, etc. Great channel so far though - thanks for putting all of this together. Also, when's the tequila coming out?!
Thanks for the idea!
Congrats on 15k
Thank you!! Thank you!! Thank you!! All of you viewers are amazing!
Keep em comin. I always make sure there aren't any cirrus's blowing out your citation in front of Lyon when I drive by🤣
🙏 🙏
Congrats 🎉 on the high numbers
Thanks Bernard it’s all because of people like you! 🙏
I go to school at the Goodyear airport and one of my cross countries got cancelled because of all the super bowl traffic lol. Love the guys at Lux Air
Same Tim is the 🐐
Tampa to PHX in a G550 for Super Bowl weekend? You win. Good stuff…interesting and fun to watch !
Thanks!
Awesome
Thanks I had fun making this one!
Love to fly along
🍻
Been through Lux Air in GoodYear many times!
It’s the best!
Hope the Air bnb host changes the code regularly.
But yeah really enjoying these videos, keep them coming!
Haha I’m pretty sure they change after every guest. Thanks for watching!!
New fan and subscriber 👍
Thanks Kenny
Nice work Tommy! Love seeing you in action at the controls.
Thanks 👍
Can’t wait to see some videos in the 550!!
👀
I think it's a 500.
No it’s one of the G550’s I fly small series coming soon
You motivate me bro
Thanks, that’s what I’m trying to do here!
Love the videos as always man! If you're ever at the Atlantic in PDX hmu and we'll treat ya right!!!
Thank you! And I’ll definitely do that next time we’re in town!
Love the content man! Keep it up. Any reccomendations on how to get an SIC jet type rating and contract gig? I have my CMEL and have been enjoying flying King Airs over the past year, but looking to try something new. My only challenge now is I'm a full-time college student in the SF Area. Thanks for any advice you may have!
Just go talk to people man! It’s that easy!!
I love your show on you tube 🎉
Thank you!
Love your videos, as an aviation geek, would love to see more of the landings. Just my two cents.
Noted! Will definitely add more :)
@@gear_down thanks man. Blessings
Cheers thanks!
Awesome video man and I love the content you put out. I’m 19 kind of still deciding what I want to do with my future. Do you think it’s too late to get started on the path you’re on?
Not at all! I didn’t start till I was 29 thanks for watching & supporting the channel!
You're a savage, Brother. I'm an entrepreneur and hope to one day hire you as my Captain! You'll hear from me in a few years! Great things ahead!
Prayers UP!
Gear DOWN!
💪 🔨 👨✈️
Bro, I love it! I’m a retired police officer in South Carolina working in high end golf company doing turf maintenance, I would drop everything to ride along! Lol
I love it!
If I can ever make that happen, I will cheers
Heck ya! Stay safe bro
Thank you!
Whooooohooooo 🎉
I feel the same every time I fly!!!
Super inspiring! What requirements are needed to be in the right seat of a G4? Dream would be to fly the G4 for a living and looking to know what I need to get/ aim for to have a chance! Loving the content from New Zealand!
Depends on each insurance company & owner
Bro I wish you posted about this before the Super Bowl. I hopped in the Baron to fly to Scottsdale on Thursday before the Super Bowl and found out that wasn’t a thing haha. Ended up getting a spot at Chandler at least. Now I know!
At least you got a spot!!!
🐐
🔥 🔥 🔥
So jealous of the Gulf Stream, such a bad ass plane
It’s an amazing machine!
Bad ass pilot.
Thanks Bud!
Looked like some perfect timing on the nav update 😂 another good one 👍🏼👍🏼
Hahah thanks Man!
I enjoyed the video - wish you would take us through takeoff now and then. So you are supposed to get to 1500 AGL right away in any turbine aircraft - if I read it right in the FAR pt 91?
Your the coolest dude man much respect to you brother, we only live one life enjoy to the fullest!
I appreciate that, thanks so much for watching
Hey man! I'm wanting to further my certs. I have my PPL; and I want to do what you do. Plan is to get my CFII and rack up hours. What is the most efficient way to get to Gulf Streams?
I was there on the black G3!
Awesome I saw it!
So do you fly the 5 series citations on the wallpaper of your computer?
Man that’s my bread and butter! I’ve been fixing those for years now! Mainly engine work, and I mean any kind of engine work to a 15D that you could imagine!
That’s awesome! Yes that citation is mine. I have videos about the plane on my channel here. Shoot me a DM on instagram. Would be great to have another brain to pick when I have an issue. I’m also an A&P I/A
Great one again! Question: is Post whom you primarily fly on this GIV, or am I just oddly thinking that? Thanks
Good question!
No, silly! he primarily flys the pedo who didn't hang himself!!!
Hahahah
Great video!We want to know more about you. How did you become a pilot, and all that stuff
I’ll do a background video soon. You can check out the most recent podcast I did on @namedropwithtimbader
@Gear Down I really liked the podcast. Looking forward to the tequila
Coming soon 👀
Looking forward to your Europe trip. You MUST be stopping off in the UK...???
No UK on this one
Tommys the The Flyest Pilot 🤙🏽
Ayeeeee thanks
Only Man flying a G5 with some iced out Chains, I’m for sure taking a page out your book my guy!🤟🏽
@@Airrazola haha let’s gooo! I’m trying to turn this industry on its head 😛😛
We’ll Fly Soon Brotha!
Cheers bro
In your opinion, what’s the most valuable type rating to get these days to be competitive in job market?
Thanks for all the effort you’re putting to make great videos for us !
Depends on your personal network. For me personally its any heavy gulfstream
@@gear_down thank you for the feedback! It was awesome seeing you on Oshkosh, I wish I was there to say hi 😊
I hope one day I’ll meet you in person and say that I achieved so much because of your videos and recommendations!
I remember when to update the DAFIF database we used PCMCIA cards in our aircraft.
Ohhh I remember PCMCIA cards lol… ancient!
@@gear_down Dang, now I feel old dude. Great channel, love the videos.
You’re only old if you remember 5-1/4” floppy discs 😬 not to carbon date myself. I’m glad you enjoy the content
@@gear_down Man, I remember the 8" floppy disks that our Data General Nova 2 used (in addition to the whopping 10MB hard drive)... 🙁
Whoa that’s past me now lol
Were you lucky enough to get more than one FMS DB to update at the same time? It's the same proc in the GV I fly and it's miraculous when I get all three to go update on the first shot!
Haha no… it took so long had to do em separately 😭 it’s a 50/50 shot if she’ll take both at once!!
Whats your background in A&P? Did you stay in ga or worked in airline?
Just work on my own planes
Curious to why you took off with no lateral or vertical guidance for the FD.. you can see the FMA is clear on top. Could explain why your AT’s wouldn’t engage on takeoff
I didn’t set T/O power quick enough before she started rolling. I wanted to ease into that takeoff since she was coming outta MX. In that case just set TO thrust slowly and go in case there was an anomaly, I’m not having to think about disengaging the AT’s or that extra split second of having a snatch disengage of the throttles. I can simply just pull my hand back naturally and stop. Once airborne and everything is normal, in engaged them. I have about 1000 hours in this plane, I know her by feel. As far as other question I felt like hand flying it, no need for all that as the departure from CNO-VNY is really simple. Cheers
Flying for the Nelk boys is insaneeeee
Haha having them as friends is even more insane
Hi guys!!!!!! Just real quick, I thought the yaw damp was suppose to be off when taking off and landing or is it a G4 Thing???? Have a safe flight!!!!!!!
Yaw Damper on from engine start to shutdown. I’ll post up the G4 checklist in a future video. Cheers
I was suprised on how affordable the airbnbs were for the superbowl. We got a 4 bedroom bachelors paradise for 4 days for the same price of two hotel rooms for two nights..
Yeah I think it was an over saturation thing there were just so many available it pushed prices down. This house was $279/nt
FMS updates are always slow! Does your plane allow crossload?
Yes it does
So how do you get your car back from the Chino airport? Like to see more of the landing and take off with the camera in the center of the cockpit.
Uber
Is that the same airbnb the beard club rented out?
No clue….
You’re living the dream brother. You ever get up to the Toronto area?
Oh yeah! We fly up a few times a year. I LOVE Toronto!
@@gear_down Nice! Glad to have you here!
Thanks!
Hopefully one day I can hook up to check out your Citation
👍
hallo great channel,I have a question how do the FAA rules about Pilots and airtravel differ from European rules about the same,I've looked on the Web and I haven't beeen able to find anything nearly as detailed as the FAA website.I'm in France ,so probably I will learn to fly from a flight to school here. There is such a ton of good info all things flying in the FAA pilots pilots handbook
I’m not sure about EASA rules but I know the faa offers tons of great free material for student pilots.
@@gear_down thanks alot brother ,I have downloaded FAA pilots handbook ,FAA Aircraft Maintenance Technician 1 and 2, and other stuff,flying a plane aint the same as driving a car!I thought about you and your old gulfstream ,not like I'm an expert,but would be feasible to do a heavy check/complete overhaul of it...Upgrade the wiring,check all the mechanics for wear and tear,and replace worn parts?like in this video ?it would be interesting to know what you think th-cam.com/video/5R3R9ls2Akk/w-d-xo.html
What a video to be watching after I just serviced a charter ERJ-135 at MWA. Lol
Sweet man!
@@gear_down yes it was. I hate to say it but I have never done a big gulfstream like yours before unfortunately. I have done other jets it’s size before like the global 7000.
Pretty cool I love the globals
@@gear_down yes they are amazing. Keep up the awesome vids. They make me want to get closer to my dreams of flying gulfstreams.
Is the Gulfstream being relocated to KSLC to be on deck for the boss Post ?
I don’t discuss those things. Sorry
Do you have N44GJ in Vancouver right now?
I’m not associated with that aircraft.
I’m new here so do you both contract fly and also own the G IV for charter? Side note, I work at Gulfstream in Brunswick GA. I love our aircraft!
I do not do anything charter nor do I own a gulfstream
@@gear_down Well I love seeing what you do. It has introduced me to a whole other side of our industry. Keep having a blast with aviation!
@matthewhooks5548 thanks! Glad ur enjoying the vids!
Awesome footage! 🙏🏼 Is there any chance to get into a pilot job as a "European" 😅
Sure if you convert the EASA license
9889... I'm going to write that down.
I wont tell if you dont ;)
