I got all of my 10 or so hours flying out of F70 before I got laid off and had to take a hiatus. I hope to get back to flying some day though. Thanks for the videos, keep em coming.
Nice video and I like the fact that you always run the checklist out loud. As far as the song, I'm not a fan of music on top of cockpit audio, but otherwise great job!
I don't think he had the music over the radio, o think he adds it on during editing. I live the music in the background, especially if you have a mute during ATC call option on your headset.
do you know how to land in santa monica or LAX? I am a student pilot and I want to learn to land in busy air ports. My instructor told me that it is part of flying. He recommends that I don't try for instrument rating until I have had complete comfort in every aspect of flying with busy ATC. Do you know how to land in LAX? thx. I soloed this past wkend.
Hi - Unless and until you have an actual need to land at LAX, I would put that off to the future because, to my understanding, you would annoy them and it's expensive. Santa Monica (KSMO) is right next to LAX, on the other hand, and is a great place to go.
I went to KRAL today. The lady said report 2 mile right base. I took it to mean fly right base. And if I were flying right base, I naturally follow it with final. And it wasn't until I just about touched down that the lady was nice enough to say cleared to land. And even then, I didn't know what the hell happened. I thought she was just saying it. I so didn't get it. Later, I find out from my instructor whom I was meeting at KRAL, that I was supposed to REPORT right base 2 mile. I was soooooo offffffff. I am going to die one of these days because I can't seem to be mistake free.
Yup. She simply wanted you to "report" or check in as you got closer so you'd alert her to your presence at a point she could best work with you. Call might have been something like, "Riverside Tower, Bugmasher 123 is 2 miles right base." You must always have heard "clear to land" before you land at a towered ariport, so keep that in mind. If you're on final or short final, and you're not ABSOLUTELY sure you were already cleared, you can invite the clearance (or confirmation if already given) by saying something like, "XYZ Tower, bugmaster 123, confirm clear to land." It's all about learning and not repeating mistakes. Keep having fun!
Nick Ford Thanks Nick. Yes indeed on the parking. There are some transient parking Ts right next to the restaurant. Nice friendly place with a view of the runway. We're doing a short flight to SMO tomorrow evening since he heads back to NY for school again on Monday.
Music in background was annoying, but otherwise a good video. Checklist out loud is GREAT, as the majority of your audience are pilots, or new pilots, so we'll done! Also, great comm work as well, and it helps student pilots to become familiar with how it all works, and how important it is to repeat instructions back for clarity. Will look forward to further videos.
the reason I want to fly into F70 is that my cfi lives in Temecula. I will be flying from KREI to meet him to take lessons. If I am able to fly to F70, I can meet him at there. My plane is in KREI. I am fully solo endorsed, only for local air ports. EventuallyI will cross country to F70 solo
Congrats on your solo! I imagine he'll get you endorsed for the trips to F70. My friend is training at Riverside (KRAL) and I know he has made at least a dual flight to French Valley. I remember Redlands (KREI) so well because it was one of two airports I landed at on my first dual flight away from the training patch. It's a bit tough to find as you're flying east over the 10, aligned witht the runway.
I think it got a little confusing because I was just about to leave the first guys sector when I called. Next time I depart French Valley, I think I'll call Approach sooner so that I'm not in that transition zone between their sectors.
Thanks for the feedback. It's pretty funny though. If folks complain about something, it's almost always about using any music at all, so this is a first. Happy flying.
Ha. OK. Lowers head in shame. I like the music and try to use it only some of the time and keep the levels low relative to the cockpit audio, but I'll definitely think about it. Hopefully I'll do some instrument training videos soon.
lol that controller was just chilling, trying to pass you back to the approach :))
Really Really appreciated for subtitle! your the best!
It’s a great song! Lovely flying!
Great landing
Very nice video. My flying is restricted to the sim in pilotedge, so it's nice to know what the scenery really looks like:)
Going to be doing my very first flight this summer!
Real nice video and terrific graphics!

I hope you can get back to it soon. French Valley would be a nice place to take flying lessons.

no body shold have music in their cock pit. I don't even have music in my car, much less the cabin

I can't wait to take my sons up flying. PPL next month hopefully.
A Walkman on the lap is what you need mate Haha
Hi Joe, can you make a video of the plane please. What is this thing revving to 5000rpm?!? Thanks
I fly out of French Valley!
A great little airport. You're lucky to have that in your backyard.

Hello, Joe, how long time to ride from John Wayne airport to Laguna Beach to home on car? Is it about 1 hour?
Hi, it's about a half hour with normal traffic. Which, in a funny way, isn't a whole lot longer than flying in this slow plane!
@@jandras1 Hi, thank you, but from air the way to Laguna Beach seems longer then a half hour .
Awesome flight! Did you guys just park in front of the restaurant over there?
Nick Ford Thanks Nick. Yes indeed on the parking. There are some transient parking Ts right next to the restaurant. Nice friendly place with a view of the runway. We're doing a short flight to SMO tomorrow evening since he heads back to NY for school again on Monday.
11:12 the camera lens cap is on...
Also great landing.
Joe Andras I see... thanks for the clarification 😊

Another good video, I liked the music actually.. and wow that ATC was having a rough day.. heh
I think it got a little confusing because I was just about to leave the first guys sector when I called. Next time I depart French Valley, I think I'll call Approach sooner so that I'm not in that transition zone between their sectors.
That was hilarious ATC 6:37
Engine noise throughout makes this almost unwatchable!
Thanks for the feedback. It's pretty funny though. If folks complain about something, it's almost always about using any music at all, so this is a first. Happy flying.
@@jandras1 use music!!! Just lower during ATC communications of your editor allows it.
dont play music joe
Ha. OK. Lowers head in shame. I like the music and try to use it only some of the time and keep the levels low relative to the cockpit audio, but I'll definitely think about it. Hopefully I'll do some instrument training videos soon.
