“Many people post on Instagram with an inspirational quote they don’t live by”- Aviation 101
Best quote of 2019
the best shade thrown of the century
Agreed. This might be the first time I LOL'd watching an Aviation 101 video. #achievementunlocked
Yeah, that definitely won the internet for me today
I heard that and felt obligated to sub
"There are way too many humans on this earth" ... winner for me
I'm not a pilot, but it's fascinating to see the temperature drop through the carburetor venturi on the monitor. One can easily see how carb icing can happen sans heat when the dew point is near freezing.
It's a little known fact, but snowblower engines are also prone to carb icing given the way that snowblowers operate near freezing and in humid conditions under high power settings. Many snowblower owners don't give it a thought as to why the small engines on their machines have that metal box around the carb. It's not to make the carb harder to get to, but rather to pull some of the intake air over the hot muffler on the way in to keep the carb throat from icing. Unlike a plane, a snowblower's carb heat is fixed and non-adjustible. I realize that snowblowers probably aren't a big item around the Austin area, but I thought I'd share anyhow.
I never gave my snowblower too much of a thought but it makes sense. I just know I appreciate that beast when the snow starts flying and it's really cold and windy. Learn something new everyday.
I'm also a pilot in Texas (Houston area) and fly around here occasionally. Carb ice can potentially be a problem around here given the right conditions. But I regress.....
I've never operated a snowblower!! But, carb ice is still carb ice no matter where you live!!
I never thought about it before!! Thanks for the insight!! Stay warm my northern friend!!
Good insight. Learn something new every day.
Come visit us in January in Goderich, Ontario - Lake Effect SNOW will definitely get the snowblower out!!!
Most of the modernish carb motorcycles had Carb Heaters...
“Sometimes it’s the people no one imagines anything of, who do things no one can imagine.” Alan Turing, who cracked the Enigma codes with his ‘computer’. Josh, that’s what you are all about. You’ve come a long way and you are gifted with talents many people struggle all their lives to achieve. You will do great things in life. My high school Civics teacher told me I’d never amount to much, never graduate from college ( I was not inspired by Civics & a little lazy of a student in that area). I met him on the street by accident after I graduated from college, had been accepted into dental school, and have had a great career...and now I’m a pilot and AGI & IGI, finishing my IR & CR, maybe CFI (well at least I passed all the writtens). Near retirement and having loads of fun. Keep the spirit alive! I might even start a You Tube channel call Air Alakazam this year; just have to learn how. 😎🛫
Josh in Texas: 70 degrees is definitely shorts weather
Me in Chicago: 50 degrees is definitely shorts weather
Me in florida: 70 degrees is definately sweater and long pants weather
Me in Winnipeg: 35f is definitely shorts weather.
Was it even 50 here today?
in germany, we´ve got 41 degrees....not really shorts wether :)))))
Fantasy Flyer 101 So true dude. I live in South Carolina, and 70° is sweatshirt weather in the summer time. High 80’s and low 90’s (sometimes just under 100°) is normal weather here. It’s all perspective and what you’re used to.
4:16 There’s something about the sound of a cessna 172, 152, Eurostar or any propeller driven airplane of that size (ultralights and 4 seaters you know) when engine running 👌 It’s not just a beatiful sound but it gives me a feeling of freedom and I just picture myself on the airfield
9:41 ooooh a diverging diamond interchange!
Austin McConnell?

That killed me Lamo ;):):):):):)
Since y'all bought it, that plane has gotten more love than it ever dreamed of. :)
It's like an old friend have returned refreshed from vacation! It's good to see the most famous Cessna out there back in the air! And boy that panel looks absolutely nice! I can't wait for some upcoming flying action with N80991! Thanks for always taking us along with you on your trips. I've been following your channel since the first N80991 video, where you did some airwork and it's my absolute favorite channel! Keep doing such an amazing work and I wish you all the best! Everytime i get the notification of a new video from "aviation101", it put's a big smile on my face! Kind regards from Germany Josh, and we'll see you on the next one ;)
HALO ! Vie gaits . Where are you in your beautiful & fun country ? I was stationed A Zweibrucken Air Base , Germany in Zweibrucken near Kaiserslautern & Pirmasens from June ' 73 - May ' 75 .
Sure like you speaking when your operating. It gives us newbies some good instructions.
991 went from sitting at an airport baking in the sun now it has a nice paint job, and all these new things on the panel. You saved this plane Josh and have kept it up well. Great Videos
Thanks for showing off your new MVP-50 Josh! As you, I had to prioritize my upgrades in phases. My phase1 was dual G5's, ADS-B in/out, WAAS and an engine monitor (Insight Twin G4). I'm flying down to Tx today to pick her up from Phase 2: STEC 3100 autopilot upgrade. I'm thinking Phase 3 will be upgrading my 20 year old GPS's (going to decide on that at Sun n Fun coming up) and my Phase 4 will probably be something to replace all my old engine instruments. I will add EI to the list. Thanks again! :)
I generally learn something new from every video I watch of yours. Now I’m going to say “Gig ‘em Aggies! 👍” every time I fly over the state of Texas! 😄
I don't know how I feel about the glass. I love analog because at a quick glance I can recognize the instruments. I guess I'll have to get a few hours to decide. Glade you like it!👍
Austin is a bit of a magical town, when I attended UT in the mid-60's, we too through their were just to many folks living in Austin and those were the days! Today I live in Houston which is always short of people!
Awesome upgrades man! 991 is starting to look a lot more like 37H ;) Great vid!
To demonstrate "shock cooling", fill a cheap glass beer mug with boiling hot water. let it stabilize for about 30 second. Pour out the hot water, then fill it with ice cold water. Do this over a sink, and watch the glass crack or shatter. Your engine is "cast" metal, meaning it has the very similar characteristics as glass. Shock cooling is very real, and this little experiment where you sacrifice a cheap mug should convince anyone of that.
Peter Toth great example. I’ll have to do that on camera to demonstrate that to the people who deny thermodynamics beneath their tin-foil hats.
Peter, while I'll agree with your assessment, the real issue is that you have 'hot water' in a container designed for hot water, and then you empty it and pour in cooler water.
The issue isn't as dramatic as your demonstration would show, and this is the reason why pilots don't think about it. The engine is designed to stand the temps and pressures it's under, BUT, repeated cycling between 'hot' and 'less hot/cool' will cause stress fractures and cracks.
Really, when was the last time you, or anyone, saw a cylinder shatter? It just doesn't happen, which is why pilots don't think about thermal stress.
Understand, I'm not disagreeing with you, we all need to be cognizant of thermal issues with the engine, and shock cooling, i.e., over 50 degrees per minute qualifies, but most people don't have that information in front of them, and hence don't think about it.
To my knowledge there have been no laboratory tests which demonstrate that repeated rapid cooling causes damage to an otherwise healthy engine, so it remains a theory used to explain symptoms seen in the field and a hotly contested topic. Jump plane pilots are among the most ardent supporters of the shock-cooling-is-a-myth camp, since they run their planes in precisely the modes they are told will ruin their engines, and suffer no such consequence.
I don't actually have an opinion either way since I've never seen solid data to support either claim. However, avoiding the conditions that are claimed to cause it is quite easy under normal flight profiles, so I do. Our JPI EDM 730 has a "CLD" meter which is similar to Josh's S.COOL meter.
@@hempelcx I would be curious to see if the studies have been done. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence that supports the theory, but I would like to see a regimented test. Of course, it might take thousands of hours to do, so I wouldn't expect it any time soon. :)
Three same debate as ROP vs LOP.
Gary C ROP vs LOP has been studied in a lab using I believe a Lyc IO540 and showed conclusively that properly leaned LOP runs cooler and is consistently better for the cylinders in all aspects. That requires fairly evenly tuned injectors, so people often swap out for GAMIjectors to get there. Personally I have trouble running LOP in our IO360 engine and I also don't like to fly that slow, so we typically run ROP staying rich of best power.
Best part about the engine monitor is the individual cylinder EGT and CHT - so important for early detection of a problem! Would never fly an airplane without it.
Good Afternoon!
I’m a big fan!
When I was a teenager, I worked my summers at a FBO in North Carolina. I always considered the possibility of taking flight ‘out of reach.’
This past year I stubbled onto your videos on TH-cam, and now have made it a mission to get in the air! Welp, I flew my first flight today at Blue Ridge Aviation.
Thank you!!
Pat Barnes how did your first flight go for you ? Was it scary ? Did you or the CFI land the plane ? If you landed it your self how did it go ? Was it scary to land a plane for the first time ? Was the plane a Cessna 172 ? How long was the flight ? Did you have to do ground school first before the first flight? Are going to take flying lessons now? If so I wish you the best getting your private pilots license . I regret not taking flying lessons while I was in the US Air Force ' 71 - ' 75 . Cheers! .
It was very exciting! It was the best weather day to fly all year in my area. I trained with a CFI, I did everything but land. Under a watchful eye of course.
@@PatricBarnesVA Thanks for your reply . I'm glad it was very exciting when you flew for the first time . Glad it was the best weather day to fly in your area . Are you now taking flying lessons with a CFI ?
Your touchdowns are so smooth! Thank you making such an informative channel.
Congratulations on the new panel! We are so proud and happy with your accomplishments, thank you so much for letting us ride along. I really like the way you say exactly what your doing as you do it. Another page is turned in aviation technology, in with the new out with the old.
991 is such a doll. I still want to see her with some white wheel pants with matching blue stripes. Just put some on her, take some pictures. Then you can take them off. Sorry I love Cessna Skyhawks "with wheel pants" and Cessna Seaplanes, I grew up with them.
I use to take my wife and friends up to look at Christmas lights. Much fun was had by all.
I like the new look! Seems easier to see with the glass cockpit than the old, Hope to see auto pilot soon!
We added an electronic ignition and power flow exhaust and that has really helped with a little speed and better fuel economy. We also added the G5's and Garmin 500 auto pilot. Well worth the investment. We have a EDM-900 and we've been able to monitor engine performance much better and note any issues.
I like when listening to ATIS the way you edited other planes keeps my from skipping around...love all the new and improved 'toys'
the "360 bridge" is the Pennybacker Bridge, and Mount Bonnell is a few more miles south on the river. The cliffs next to the Pennybacker are I assume called the 360 cliffs, one of my favorite spots in Austin!
They did however shoot the concert scenes from the Willie Nelson movie Honey Suckle Rose there before the bridge was built in 1980.
Im an instructor and we upgraded all of our fleet with the mvp. 50. Its pretty great, especially for leaning. Ive never had a problem with them until about three days ago where every gage failed and read "COMM" in all red. Another flaw is that you can't find out what causes the red warning light in flight, you need a usb with a computer. One time in flight the red light flashed for a few seconds and couldn't find out what was causing it because everything was in the green. Other than that its awesome.
Lmao. Cynical. I love it. Selfies on Instagram with some inspiring quote they don’t live by. So true!!!!
LOL You beat me to it.
Impressive new panel on N80991 ! The aerial the tour of Austin is always neat. My wife and I always enjoy going to The Oasis on Lake Travis each time we fly into town.
I love how you're like, "This is crazy how I used to rely on these steam gauges for oil pressure,"... I still rely on them. :D dont frighten me
I have never seen a landing so perfectly executed in a cessna. You are one with that aircraft my friend!
Decided to go for student pilot. I happen to live in Lake Oswego, Oregon where Lightspeed Corporate is located. I looked at Bose ANR but decided to go Lightspeed. I will swing by Lightspeed to grab those and will make sure they know Aviation 101 moved me to their product. Thanks Josh.
I just bought a C182E. My first upgrade is a G5. Then an engine monitor, followed by a new autopilot. Thanks for sharing - it gives me a better idea of what to look forward to.
I fly a Bonanza P35 V-tail but I really enjoy your channel. Interesting and informative every time. Also use your preprinted clearance forms for the past two years. Your enthusiasm and knowledge of aviation is impressive.
Very smooth and very thorough. As a relatively new pilot i very much enjoyed watching your flight as you shared your processes of running through checklists etc. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for the interesting video! Regarding the glass/steam debate, I'm thinking single points of failure. If that engine monitor display goes, you lose *a lot* of information at once, even with fully working sensors and computer. Compare that to a full native glass system with two displays that shows everything on the remaining one if one goes. I think the attitude indicator & HSI come with integrated batteries, so you don't immediately lose them even if the electric system fails, so that basically gives the same redundancy as the vacuum pump while reducing moving parts, so that is nothing but an improvement. At least with adequate protection from transient spikes in the electrical system :)
I just got checked out in our club's DA40NG with the G1000, and I have to admit that the only thing not to like, having learned to fly with steam gauges, is the airspeed indicator tape. Getting the speed information from a round gauge is an order of magnitude quicker than from a tape with numbers, which is kind of essential when you're flying the pattern and want to keep your eyes out and just want to make a quick glance inside to make sure your speed is okay. (Yes, I know I can glance at the tape, move my eyes back out, and then process the information, but that still takes some mental cycles I could use elsewhere.)
Josh in Texas 70 degrees shorts weather, Chicago 50 degrees shorts weather, me in Los Angeles, always shorts weather. Thank you for you video Josh. Appreciate your tour of the area. Never got to Texas. Fly safe.
Josh, thanks for the views of Mansfield dam, and Lake Travis. I do miss living up in the Hill Country. Next time you make it to So. Calif we will have show you the town.
Loving the New Look to the panels and thanks for the tour around the city. Not shorts weather yet here in the UK 🇬🇧 I’m about 1 hour from Manchester Airport (EGCC) outside Huddersfield ✈️
The enthusiasm of the young is addictive. Your future is bright indeed! My first airplane was a Skyhawk. It came from Texas where I think they sold tons of them back in the day...
9:39 A divirging diamond overpass!
Nice video, like the way you verbalizing all the procedures, like a good instructor!
Back when I started flying in the early 80's you walked around with you nose stuck up in the air when you had RNAV and DME.
Unfortunately I quit flying a long time ago and can't imagine how much fun it is to always know your ground speed, exactly where you are and where the wind is coming from.
We just ripped DME out of our flying club Cardinal. And LORAN. And ADF. The GTN-750 and GTX-345 combo is a win.
We know what you mean about too many people (lived on the N., worked on the S.)......lived there for a couple of yrs., humidity got us, moved back to the panhandle......like your videos and love the area (just not the humid)
HAHA “Gig’em Aggies!” 11:00
Once again you have filled my head with knowledge and facts, against my will. 0991 is definitely getting the royal treatment. When I flew 172s in the early 70s, we almost had to pedal it. Great video, thanks Josh.
I will have to say I agree on the whole shock cooling theory because if you heat up cylinder heads on a vehicle to high they crack or cool them off to quick they will crack so I believe that the repeated process of cooling air cooled heads down too quickly could very well cause cracks, eventually. I’m not even repeating your quote because everyone on here knows you have the quote of the year!
I tell ya, your production quality goes up every video. Nicely done.
That's a really nice monitor. We just put in a JPI 730, but it doesn't replace primary instruments. I could definitely stand to fly with something like the one you installed.
Big fan of the TruTrak Vizion AP. I installed one in my N model. Money well spent!
I live in the UK and have been thinking about doing my easa ppl for a while now but never committed but after watching you fly and especially your coast to coast I've book my first lesson and starting reading air law so thank you for the motivation.
WOW, what a nice landing. Good video.
Josh , congratulations on the upgrades.
Didn’t know if anyone has said this yet, but that cliff next to the 360 bridge is not mount Bonnel. Mount Bonnel is another overlook a little farther down lake Austin!
991 is back!!!
I enjoy all of your instruction info. Can you show how you set up your 4 flight knee pad to fly to a destination, and link to the plane panel instruments. Thanks, Jim
I love the new set up of the panel with the Garmin G-5. You have arrived in the 21st Century.! Only glass on the panel is a good thing. I feel they are more accurate and easier to read while flying. I liked the view and tour of Austin you provided. Good luck as always in your future endeavors!
500 degrees CHT redline; that’s hot. I prefer 430 degrees redline, and 400 degrees caution (Lycoming also recommends
Another excellent video Josh. Nice explanation of the Avionics upgrades and your future game plan for continued upgrades. Well done as always and most appreciated.
Cool vid Josh! Wow, talk bout “greasein the runway” with that landing............ text book landing, Grrrreat job!!!! Thx as always for bringing us along.
Scott
Textbook, are you sure? To float for that long in those temperatures suggests airspeed was high over the threshold.
Looking forward to more IFR videos. I've watched the '400 ft ceiling' video several times. Just got an IPC after not flying instruments since I got my rating instrument rating in 2002. Videos like that are very helpful.
Love your vids they inspire me
Love the MVP. We've got them in a few of our 172s at school
You’re a good pilot. I appreciate your dedication to use of checklists even if the activity is very routine/mundane. Some pilots aren’t as dedicated to their checklists.
10:58 a man of good taste I see, Gig'Em
Put an inspiring qoute that they don't live by! Touché
Nice! Congrats on the upgrades! (It's always amazing what a little electronic upgrade can do for any vehicle.)
mag check is awesome with the glass!
“Inspiring quote they don’t live by.”....LMAO!
Love your video! The edit was top notch and exactly what we wanted to watch and hear. You have a new sub! Love from Merimbula , Australia ✈!
Fantastic video! Love the upgrade! Thanks for sharing! I will hope for the IMC/IFR videos! Keep up the good work!
My issue with the MVP’s is the aggressive lean profile. Using the lean ROP function, you really have to bring that mixture back pretty far for it to find a peak. Either that, or it will find a ‘peak’ before you even begin leaning the mixture.
Good video. I like the small ramps you made to roll the mains into the hangar. Gotta make myself a pair. Ciao, Marco.
Next year it will have a jet engine
I like what you have done to you panel
Nice lookin' new setup, accurate indicators too!
Nice pictures....although I used to fly in the mountains, which seems to be exciting for almost every passenger I had, for me its also exciting to see such flat panorama and big cities. Looks like a perfect example of....you cant always get what you want :-)
Josh, I’ve been subscribed to your channel for about two years and have learned a lot from it. I’m 53 and just got my license last August. Life long dream! One of my favorite videos was your pattern work after school one day. I learned a lot on situational awareness. I do want to address something you said in this video not related to aviation. I hear it a lot from others besides you and to hear it at all really troubles me. You said, “There are way too many humans on this earth”. I hope you’ll continue reading and think the following through. So, “By whose determination are there too many people”? I doubt very much that the God who created them thinks that He created too many? And, who is counted among the “too many”? Am I? Are you? Or, maybe the mechanics who upgrade or fix our aircraft would be considered among the too many; maybe it’s the air traffic controllers who keep you and me safe when we’re up there, maybe they are among the too many? And who, ultimately, gets to determine who’s in the “too many” crowd and who’’s in the “just right” inner circle? That’s a scarey thought all by itself. These are just a couple of questions I ask you to ponder and maybe share. Please know that I submit this with the utmost respect to you as a person and fellow aviator and in no way with a snarky or condemnatory attitude. But, this is a growing attitude in society and its ultimate consequences are dire! Just reference the governor of Virginia’s comments on what to do with a child that is born in spite of an abortion attempt...keep him/her “comfortable” and let them alone until they die. Utterly CHILLING! (Not to mention the abortion attempt itself.) I’m not suggesting for a second that I think you hold THAT attitude. I don’t know. But the governors attitude has a much less sinister foundation upon which it is built which ultimately is, “we know better than God how many people He should create...He ultimately doesn’t know what He’s doing”. I hope you read this through and actually ponder them. And, again, this is respectfully submitted! I DO enjoy your channel. Thanks.
When there are more people than there are natural resources to support them, then we will know objectively that there are too many people. Of course by then people will start dying off in large numbers to self-correct, most likely due to widespread disease and famine. Saying there are "too many people" does not imply he wants to decide who should be allowed to live. That's a super weird leap to make.
Those guys posting a selfie on Instagram with a quote that they don't live by that is freaking hilarious and so true great contact brother I love it
YaKnow Josh I really enjoy your videos. I like the relationship you share with your dad, and I really like 👍 your flying abilities. I been keeping up with you for quite awhile and I’ve watched you improve continually. I would have loved you to be my instructor when I was learning in the 1960’s. I gotta say I am a bit jealous of your Alaskan float plane adventures. That was a bucket list item I really wish I could have accomplished but never 👎 had the chance. I can’t now due to a disability, so all I can say is if you want to get more ratings get them now while you’re young. My brother lived just down the road from you inThe beautiful hamlet of New Braunfels and flew for Valero in San Antonio. He never got a seaplane rating either, dying quite young of Mesothelioma which had nothing to do with flying. I guess what I’m saying is you are doing a fine job, living the dream. You’re a fine pilot 👨🏼✈️ young man, keep up the good work and I’ll keep watching. I think we make a good team.
“With some inspiring quote they don’t live by” my GF heard that laying next to me and started giggling. So true.
One of my favorite aviation channels.
Awesome videos Josh this is my favorite TH-cam channel
I think one downside to electrical/computer instruments is it doesn't show smooth indication due to probably a slower refresh rate. For example, I like to be able to see the RPM smoothly increase to 1700 when I do the run-up. With the electrical instruments, the RPM changes abruptly so it feels weird to check.
Well, that's certainly not an inherent limitation of digital technology; rather a byproduct of engineering trade-offs to keep the purchase price down. If more people raised that concern they would address it, and the instruments would cost more accordingly.
Great video! Miss the old days of just flying around!
I'm over at Hamilton Pool, just down hwy 12 from ya
Enjoy your vids! I was a Cessna trainee back in HS. Lot of my friends fly out of Spicewood and Lakeway.
Gonna watch on 55" 4K tv. AWESOME.
Weird flex but ok
Awesome kit - I'm sold!
Ah you're lucky, I'm training for my private pilot's license in a Cessna 172SP. Ours has the Garmin aditude indicator but the rest is analog. I have to say though that I'm loving my career choice. I love your videos, keep it up!
Nice dash!
I wish I could say those 9r's as fast as you do. Great video..like usual.
Josh throwing some shade....we like it!
This is an awesome video! Having “grown up” on steam gauges and only recently transitioned to a glass panel, I can say I’m team technology all the way. Great video!
Awesome video. Thank you for that instrument panel tour.
Nice shot of a diverging diamond interchange at 9:40.
Great video! Love the new panel and your explanations are fantastic!
Most of the original gauges are on the Cessna 152s I train on
I like the old system. I think I'm going to make a glass six pack.
I like the way it is set up, and the glass advantage.
The avionics look great! Congrats on the upgrade!
I've visited Austin a few times. Love it! Good Ole' Texan BBQ!
I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. Thank you for your detailed explanations and your teaching skills. Scott. KLZU.
Thank you very much for this video of very high quality always present I wish a very happy new year to aviation 101
That landing though... was buttery
You're the man. Keep up the great work.
