When you fly higher in faster more powerful aircraft you will become very comfortable flying in IMC conditions. It's something that takes time but being comfortable in IMC is something that will make you a better pilot. Cool video, looks like a beautiful area.
Wow what stunning views from the aircraft as you made your way over California. Thank you for sharing the trip with us. Hope you had a great time at the fly-in.
This reminds me of the trip I did with a friend from Wisconsin to New Orleans in a cessna 150. Managed it in one day but with 14 hours from first takeoff to last landing.
Wow hand propping! That is something that would give me nightmares. Would have loved to have seen that on video. Congrats on adapting, improvising, and overcoming.
i agree with steveo1kinevo. i flew many IMC hours in the east coast corridor in a 172. the more you do the better you get. the rules are the same but just require a precision flying -- on instruments which is a huge satisfaction. i dunno if i'd do it in mountain flying though. i love IMC!
@mraviation101 hah! No way bud, when I was a student my instructor and I had to hand prop our 172 when we landed in KAPV as well.... Small world. Keep up the good work pal
So I've been viewing some of your older posts. This, and others in your West coast trip. Big Bear weather issues, starter issues, etc. Had to laugh about hand propping. First plane I bought didn't have a starter. Hand prop was the only answer to flying. Check it out... Lark 95 built by Helton Aircraft out of Mess AZ. 1508H. Recently rebuilt. What a fun airplane!
I went to the fly-in too :) Pity you guys didn't refuel at Paso Robles KPRB, the gas pump was broken and stop counting beyond 4.6 gallons. Buy 4.6, get the rest free! LOL We flew in on Friday night at 10:30pm IFR, so there was no traffic. The lineman who greeted us was the airport manager, he even drove us to our motel 4 miles away.
@MrAviation101 You produce such amazing video's. I made mad respect for you sir. Your dedication and passion for Aviation is evident and is worthy of respect. It was nice of you to give a shout out to the maintenance company as well. Cheers
Good video! I got pvt inst com licence in norcal. I love that airport. It good airport to practice dme arc approach. And i also love watsonville, half moon bay airport.
Enjoyed this set of videos. Not sure I'd do that far in a 172 though I know many have. But, perhaps... No, i must keep talking C182 or the like with my wife :) Sorry I missed a (sounds like) great fly-in, but alas I was already booked for 10-days in Hawaii. Glad the starter was a wire. Love the aviation community and the willingness for even the professionals to help.
Long cross-countries are pretty awesome, I think. I flew from central Florida to San Francisco during my hour building. But we didn't do it in one day. We took 5 days, I think, including a day off after spending almost 10 hours in the air the day before, dodging thunderstorms on the backside of a cold front. Was a pretty awesome experience non the less. Unfortunately our plane got damaged on the ground in KSFO, so we had to take a commercial flight back east...
Here's a rule I learned years ago as a passenger in a Cessna 150 RG. Don't take off when a Gulfstream is blasting it's engines across your runway. It's quite a jolt when your plane jumps 15 feet front right to left and bounces tires that are two feet off the ground. ;)
I need to lear to fly, get your instructor certification :) so I'm watching your videos and following your approach by looking at charts and airport Diagram this is pretty cool!
***** I'm a training Private pilot in the U.K, but I fly on an online network called Pilotedge (look it up) and I am very familiar with FAA rules. I'm not saying that this mistake is worth a write up, but the point is, it waste's valuable frequency time.
Matthew McColl-you do realize aviation regulations are different in the European Union vs the United States, right? (: Even though the FAA is recognized internationally; countries have their own regulations and I know the UK is different in a lot of ways from the US.
I can't believe that controller cleared like 3 planes to land on the same runway in sequence all at once like that. Around here (western Canada) I never get cleared to land until the aircraft ahead has cleared the runway. Sometimes the clearance comes 100ft off the ground at my home airport as it can take a Cessna awhile to clear the end of the 5000' runway if they decided to take the whole runway.
We have our ways, the Americans have theirs. I've gotten landing clearances coming over the fence. On my last trip to the U.S. I was number two, cleared to land at Renton (KRNT). I also took off from something that looked like a real airport (Bellingham KBLI) squawking 1200, which always makes me feel slightly naked.
Went to 92 airshow in Salinas two F-14's Tomcat fighters put on a show like I never seen the engines were so loud could hear car alarms going off for miles around the airport. They did a high speed pass at 500 knots wings folded back I wonder if they shattered any windows on homes the direction they came from right over lot of houses.
Luis M Ochoa Not sure where you're getting 884 ft... but here in the US, standard traffic pattern altitude is 1,000ft AGL (above ground level). Since the field elevation is 84ft MSL (above mean sea level), you round 84ft up to 100ft and add 1,000ft, giving you a traffic pattern altitude of 1,100ft. Standard here in the US is 1,000ft, unless of course, otherwise depicted which is not the case here that I know of. Safe Landings, - Josh
MrAviation101 Josh, "standard" doesn't mean it's always the same for all airports. Some airports, like SNS, have lower or higher patterns for one reason or another. In the case of SNS it's lower probably because of the adjacent Class C airspace of MRY. The place to find the *actual* pattern altitude of an airport is the Airport Facilities/Directory: aeronav.faa.gov/afd/30apr2015/sw_186_30APR2015.pdf Second line from the top in MSL(AGL) : TPA-884(800). In practice however, I doubt the tower is gonna ever call you out on a 200ft pattern altitude discrepancy. Safe flying, Luis.
Luis M Ochoa Oh you're very correct, I remember reading that prior to the arrival in the NOTAM pack, but amongst all of the craziness of the day we must have forgot and assumed the standard! Good catch.
Will do! Thank's for watching them! I think a good lesson learned from this is to go over the information right before the flight it pertains to, instead of the night before a chain of flights. I guess I was so thrown by having to hand prop the airplane and deal with getting out of the mountains that simple bits of info slipped my mind, so we should have re-briefed the NOTAMs and arrival procedures in the airplane on the way there!
Hi Josh, old post but just found it. Not sure if you'll see my post and I'm sure your very busy. I live in the SF Bay Area but have grandkids in Georgetown KGTU. Was wondering what a comfortable time would be for the trip? Say a C172
Hi Josh, your videos are really outstanding. I love watching them. Just one question: When you are couting 1-1000, 2-1000, 3-1000. Why do you do this? Just a "silly" question from a german glider pilot. Greetings from Cologne, Germany Martin
+Martin Broich I have to hold down my flaps switch to extend them, so I'm keeping track of how many degrees I have extended. 3 seconds yields about 10° of flaps.
@@Aviation101 Thanks! I trained in a 152, which has proper "detents" and 30 degrees of flaps. Subsequently I flew a newer 172 SP, which also has the same setup. The flying club that I rent from now, only has a 172M and it has the same "continuous" flap switch and 40-degrees of max flaps. I hate it! You've given me a good way to estimate the amount of flaps, without having to divert my attention and look at that flap extension gauge!
Dumb question --> Why do you count when lowering your flaps? I know they are electric and take some time, but I don't see the purpose of counting. I like my Piper Arrow manual flaps. I also need a TBM 850 like Stevio......
+rocket862 because his Cessna doesn't have degree indicators for flaps, just an up and down switch. So he has to count when putting 10 degrees 15... etc etc
This may be a stupid question so bear with me. Since you had a problem with your starter and were forced to hand-prop to get the engine started, what would happen if you suddenly had an engine problem during flight that caused your engine to stop? Wouldn't the starter be required to re-start the engine?
William B Black You are correct if the airplane loses enough speed where the prop would stop because of the lack of wind. Otherwise, if you keep the glide speed up, you can attempt to restart by just using the wind.
Nice videos, but I am easily confused. You mentioned being VFR Over The Top after cnx'ing IFR... OK, but why the IFR cruising altitudes? Did ATC want you there? Whether you are VFR On Top or VFR Over The Top, you should be at VFR altitudes, unless something has changed in the last couple years that I missed. As far as the VFR vs IFR argument goes, choose whichever one is easiest. Sometimes IFR is the easier way to go.
AzangBugs we could have been IFR, but temps were below freezing outside, and being in the clouds would make us pick up up. If ATC authorizes us to cruise at 12K, then boom, good to go. ATC authorized it. If we weren't on flight following, however, we would certainly stick to VFR altitudes.
Aviation Nation not to mention I think and I'm pretty sure the SR22 has a parachute? Which makes it pretty expensive no ejection seats though just a parachute to slow down your fall when you stall or run out if fuel
SHARProductionz VFR, IFR, and IMC refer to flight conditions, VFR means: Visual Flight Rules, or navigation based on sight outside the aircraft. IFR being instrument flight rules, where to use the instruments inside the cockpit for navigation. IMC is instrument meterological conditions, meaning basically IFR conditions.
Sence I am not a pilot, but I do have a few hours in a C 150 with a buddy of mine that is a pilot, He showed me how to hand crank it, and I did it a couple of times what a hell of experiance wow. But I guess i failed to ask him what if your at a airport by yourself and this problem that josh was talkin about , happens,whats the process to hand crank the airplane if your there by yourself ?
I've seen a mechanic try to hand-prop a C172SP. It was incredibly difficult to get the engine started that way. The prop on that plane just doesn't easily spin. I don't know what the C172 N or M models are like.
+Brandon Maso The starter was a known problem...what the actual cause was still open to question. Since he knew the starter was dead an engine problem in the air could have been made worse with no chance to restart.
+GBigs Angle HAHA! In the air, the starter isn't used all too often. The prop windmills, thus introduce mixture and it should fire if the mags are on. Now, unless you killed the engine purposefully on your own in the air, a restart won't do you any good. You have other problems. How do you think airplanes without starters get around just fine? Maybe all older airplanes without starters shouldn't be flying.... lol
Infinite Flight!!! Costs a minimum of 10 dollars, but it is SOOO worth it!! You can be ATC, or fly a whole variety of aircraft in a whole variety of locations. It's very fun! ✈️

Surf air suck. They pay shit. Great concept though.
I hav started to fly and can't wait till I fly by myself. Love your vids. I'm 16 years old and 8 hours into my journey.
Wow what stunning views from the aircraft as you made your way over California. Thank you for sharing the trip with us. Hope you had a great time at the fly-in.
my grandson and I have been watching Josh for a couple years. keep up the good work Josh
You really motivate me because I want to be a pilot. You make good videos that teach me a lot about flying. Keep making awesome videos.
+Chalis Tompers Studies will help more.

Awesome! I fly out of salinas twice a week:)
Loved the addition of the explanation of the starter problem!
Great video! I live on the Monterey Peninsula so it was awesome to see some of my homeland on your channel.
The beutiful Salinas valley i miss all the agriculture land nice views.
Great advice regarding IMC...there is an old adage in aviation that suggests superior judgment prevents us from having to use superior skill.
"A superior Pilot uses his Superior Judgement to avoid needing to use his Superior Skill"
So awesome as always Josh!! Thanks and I am always learning...
i remember i stopped briefly in Salinas 5 years ago :-) went to Monterey. Awesome video buddy
Love the F18 video mode to eat up some terrain when you're outside
Wow hand propping! That is something that would give me nightmares. Would have loved to have seen that on video. Congrats on adapting, improvising, and overcoming.
Talan Thanks! Perhaps I can makes a video on that subject in the future.
Loving this series!
My home airport! Great video man
Fantastic video dude. And "props" to you (see what I did there?) for the shout out to the shop and mechanic who helped you.
Very good job and radio work. I'm low time IFR and you just made me aware I should practice a lot more.

but i have a question
how did you guys breathe up there at 12000 feet, since the 172 does not have a pressurized cabin.
at 12k feet you don't need O2
Dumb question --> Why do you count when lowering your flaps? I know they are electric and take some time, but I don't see the purpose of counting. I like my Piper Arrow manual flaps. I also need a TBM 850 like Stevio......
+rocket862 because his Cessna doesn't have degree indicators for flaps, just an up and down switch. So he has to count when putting 10 degrees 15... etc etc

I think you should make an Aerobatics video.. Just say'in
Oh my gosh the amount of money it must coast to fly that far!
I guess its pricey but i bet thats only for fuel and food? and you can grab some cheap fuel

aviatortrevor 172SP is fuel injected. My friend hand propped one just for fun. It's very difficult.
