OK Nico. I’m just going to say it. It’s time. With your time and your ability and your huge cahones flying in complex weather situations, icing etc. it’s time for you to move on. Malibu, Mirage, something pressurized. Cabin class. Faster. It’s time. Do it.
@@observer1242 Totally agree. The portable O2's gotta be getting old! Next move should also leave the pistons behind and go turbine. (I'm really good at spending other people's money!)
I agree: “this country is full of gems” and that’s what I love about flying GA, we discover these “gems” or what we call “Small Town Americana” that we would not have otherwise known about!!!
Anytime Niko posts a video it’s a good day. I appreciate your love of small places. I’m from socal, and every time I get to visit small town in middle America I realize that life has a lot of things right… So peaceful.
Just found out I was the one marshaling you in to TAC Air, Niko. Thanks for stopping by, it was great to be able to serve you! Hope to see 122SZ again soon!
I have been living the dream through your videos for the past 6 years. I don't know if you remember but I commented on one of your videos a long time ago about how I lost my 3rd class medical certificate back in 2016. After a 6 year battle with the FAA and going through hell and back I'm ecstatic to report that today I got the FAA's blessing and finally got my 3rd class medical certificate issued. Next up is going for my ppl license. Thanks for keeping us entertained with all of your videos. God bless!
Hey Niko, I've been watching your videos since a few years ago when I was thinking about doing my PPL, now I'm halfway through my CPL and still enjoying your content, keep it up! Love from New Zealand🤙
Great to see how your flying incorporates your business life style, like your airplane is your commute vehicle! Brilliant! keep em coming Niko, a joy to watch!, Cheers from the UK
Enjoyed every minute of this vid. Thanks for sharing! Took a demo flight in an SR22t g6 this past weekend. I have been forever changed!!! What an awesome aircraft!
Sometimes the long flights are very intentional. We’ll be flying two Aircams from Baltimore to KOSH via Vermont and Southern Canada. 14 hours+ air time one way. Very low altitudes. Flexible schedule and a lifetime of memories. Enough US and Canadian gems for a necklace. Hope to see you there.
That’s a long days flying 👍🏻 Thx for showing us some of it. 🙂 Can’t imagine the editing that goes into these for all the b-roll of instruments, outside, wing shots, etc. Brilliant 👊🏻 It’s a long wait for us 🇬🇧 to get back to Vegas too.
Another great video Niko. Always enjoy your trips. You make flying look easy. I appreciate your running commentary on what you are doing as you fly. Thanks for bringing your TH-cam family along on your trips.
Thank you for the high-quality content. Very enjoyable to watch. The effort that you put into your videos has not gone unnoticed. Perhaps we will see you at Oshkosh in a few weeks.
Love all of the technical aspects of your videos but the vibe of this one really speaks to me man. This is something that i've put off and put off b/c of the risks (and lets face it, the money), but life is moving to a point where both of those aren't as big of a barrier and now it's just my own intestinal fortitude in the way. Super inspirational stuff man. I hope this trip bears fruit in your life as well, it has in mine. :)
Another great and entertaining video. I was wondering if you could do an upcoming video showing the mechanical maintenance the aircraft needs after x amount of flying hours. Would love to see something on the maintenance required. Thanks
"Not much of a place here" - you'd be lucky to get that in outback Western Australia! 🤣 Most of the outback aerodromes here have nothing more than a gravel runway. I'd love to fly in the US!
My son is also a private pilot, my fault, I put a red plastic plane in his lap at age 1 for a picture so he wouldn't cry! 45 years later there are 2 planes in a hanger in Guntersville Alabama. ! A very busy business life. Thank you Niko for your video's,I always enjoy watching, hello 👋 to your family. 🛩️🚀 Denver native 🏔️
@@NikosWings just wanted to add Niko, I hope your daughter takes up flying. It is amazing to see what a lot of just car drivers never get to see, and as My son says, "No stop lights"lol My daughter also has been in Jets as she is a Sargent Major in Stuttgart, Germany, retiring Very soon, 25 year's. Foxie Dog even has her own aviator hat and scarf, Snoopy has nothing on her, lol. She rides in her car seat where we stick any back packs in the Cessna 2 seater. The Piper is 4 seats and he just got a new-er engine for it in April from my brother in law in Marana Arizona. We went out there for a bit. You know it is pilots who know other pilots who leave the doors open at these remote airfield places, there is always a coffee pot and bathroom ☕🛩️ and nothing to ever worry about. Take good care and keep the blue side up! 🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️🛩️
Your video work (as your flying) is reaching new levels of interest and real-life detail. You’ve developed a knack for storytelling, especially focusing on general aviation as it contributes to your business and personal life. Well done. I used to watch FlightChops, however I’ve lost interest (as others I know) with his repeated “tail wheel” and “warbird” stories done repeatedly while he mooches off vendors that have nothing to do with the core of his presentations. Makes no sense to me! If any of the vendors are watching this creator, this is the type of person whose real world flying actually influences us, not the former. Just a hint! Good job Niko!
Hello Niko. It’s been quite a stretch of time since I’ve popped in for a visit. I’m finally home for 2 more months then it’s off again for more journeys across the globe. Hope all has been well for you and your family. Thank you for taking us along in predictable skies (commercial has been a joke). As always, safe skies my friend. 🛫🌌🛬
You are living most people's dream. Self made man/woman using their private plane for business and pleasure and getting to travel the country in the process. I cannot think of a better lifestyle.
That is a long time to be in the cockpit Niko. I did Canberra to Perth in one day in the Glasair - 10 hours plus change, and the following day I was pretty shattered. But then, you're a lot younger than me, and most likely a lot more fit. As usual, loved the video.
I’m 52 so the age always tries to work against you. Staying for for sure does help a ton. I think keeping my oxygen at sea level saturation is what helps me the most.
Hi Niko ! I wish to suggest a safer way of starting your engine. Presently, you say "clear prop" and turn the key. It could be safer to look right and left before turning the key. Have a good flight. 😃👍👍
I'm impressed how after all that flying you can go talk business then fly some more and end up at a nice hotel for the night.. I would find it hard to sell my services when I was mentally beat....
I thought I saw you in Centennial I was departing in my turbo commander right when you were pulling in. About 630 or 7 o’clock. I was hopping over to Vail that evening. And then I just saw your video pop up. And I see my commander for a millisecond in your video when you were pulling into Tac Air. Aviation is such a small community. Ran into Stevo in Jacksonville in the TBM. 😀
@@NikosWings Hahahahaha well, I’d volunteer happily but hey, I’m retired on Tenerife Island a few miles away from you my friend 😆 Keepmon rolling, you’re doing fine ✊🤙
Niko, love the. Ideas. I’ve had a turbo cirrus for 10 years and still frustrated by hot starts. Based out of SoCal and almost didn’t get it started with my wife after having lunch on Catalina Island last week. Ugh…. Ended up having flood it and do a flooded start. Do you have a favorite hot start technique for a heat soaked engine? It’s the worst 0.5 to 2.0 hrs after landing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks! Dave
If it’s really hot out there and no wind, between 0.5 to 2 hours as you said are almost impossible to start. One thing that has worked when that happens, and you get zero fuel flow, open the throttle to full and mixture rich and run the boost pump and if needed the prime. Then, take your fuel sump and drain the gascolator until you get fuel flow (you’ll hear the pump grabbing fuel). Then hope in and start using hot start procedure. - throttle open - mixture cutoff - pump off - crank while bringing mixture slowly up - when it sparks mixture rich and boost pump on and retard the the throttle sumulteously
That’s great! Thanks so much for the reply. Everyone has a different way of doing it. Your method makes sense. Out here in CA I’m nervous about stopping for more than a half hour on the ground because of hot start concerns. I’ll give it a try in next day or two. I really appreciate the advice as I know you are faced with hot starts frequently.👍
Good luck! I hope it goes smooth. I’m sure you know how it is…you never want to see your passengers see you concerned. Ha! On Catalina there is no mechanic, FBO or Plan B. I was really concerned about draining battery. My wife started to cry as she worried about being stranded on the island. I remained calm (on the outside at least). I’m excited to try the new technique!
I can't even imagine 7 hours , no bathroom, not being able to stretch your legs. Trying to stay awake. hard enough on a commercial airline. Amazing job
Honestly not much other than watching the weather and having an idea of where to stop for fuel. Typically fuel stops are decided last minute based on route, distance, price, services, fuel availability, and other factors like food, transportation etc…
Yes I’m back I’ve looked for this channel for months I just couldn’t find it. Then I found my old passwords to access my old TH-cam account. Love nicos videos hello from Dublin Ireland 🇮🇪 Nico. Hope you’re family got over Covid okays your all doing well.
You seem to do a lot of traveling by plane all over the country. Don’t you think, the Cirrus Jet would be the way better choice for you to do this kind of flying? For your business. Also a great family plane.
@@NikosWings well I thought about the DA62, but no parachute and in range close to the G2 Vision jet. But the fuel burn is a bargain. So at the end you do ok with your SR 22 I guess.
The DA62 is about same speed or a tiny bit slower, lower ceiling, no parachute, 2 engines double the maintenance and very expensive insurance unless you have tons of multi time, and needs bigger hangar or FBO hangar. The bargain is cheaper fuel and more availability of fuel globally but not in the US as much but it still burns more fuel than the Cirrus overall. It is a beautiful airplane though, but the Cirrus is too.
Limoni, IA...one of my usual fuel stops between TX and MN. KAPA is also great, but I usually go into Boulder, which is a really nice vibrant airport right adjacent to the Front Range. Any temptation to hit Leadville while in the neighborhood?
Open throttle full, mixture rich, boost pump on until fuel flow for 5 seconds. Fuel pump off, mixture cut off, keep throttle full open. Crank, when it catches, mixture rich, throttle retard, boost pump on. If that doesn’t work, do the same thing except increase fuel mixture slowly until it catches.
Got my pilot’s license finally. Thank you Nikko for finding where I could take lessons at where I live.
I’m glad I was able to help and congratulations!
Yay! congrats on receiving your pilot's license. 👍
Awesome, congratulations!!

Hey Niko, what’s your hot start procedure? I’m having trouble with that. Thanks
Open throttle full, mixture rich, boost pump on until fuel flow for 5 seconds.
Fuel pump off, mixture cut off, keep throttle full open.
Crank, when it catches, mixture rich, throttle retard, boost pump on.
If that doesn’t work, do the same thing except increase fuel mixture slowly until it catches.
Wow, what a hard life you got brother. I almost feel sorry for you….
The struggle is real I’m telling you man…
