  • Pilot Vlog 102. After a night of thunderstorms, I have an early morning flight in the Cessna Citation M2. It’s a single pilot flight from Saint Louis to Wichita Ka and thunderstorms are in the forecast for both airports. Once we get to Wichita we go to the Cessna Service center for a couple of hours then I fly back home.
    Equipment I use to make vlogs.

    Great vlog. Those ground flaps look SOOO low to the ground. I'm sure it's all good, but I've never seen them pictured that way before. Thanks.

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thaks Syber. Normally they're only extended like that on the runway. So you would never see them.

      Thanks Mac. The Burritos are cheap and fast. If I were going to the US I'd go for the Western Omelet. If you're in a hurry grab the burrito.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Jim. Sorry about the turkey in the trash, that's no good :( Luckily Walmart was there though. That flap at the end was very low, never realized it went that low. Have a great rest of your week and weekend. :)

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks Collin. It all worked out.

      Thanks Windtee. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. This was kind of a last minute thing. We had some time to kill so I grabbed the olives off my desk and decided to make a little Thanksgiving video. Hope you guys have a great holiday season..

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I just realized this was the wrong video. but, close enough.

    Ahh, good ole lift dump, as they called it on the HS 125-700/800 that I flew. Worked the same way. Stuff popped out all over the wing, the flaps went down to like 90degrees.
    As always, a great breakfast burrito, oops, I mean, video.

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks Richard. That's exactly what it is. We just don't have as much stuff on the wing to throw out.

    have you ever flown the citation x? used to work the ramp at a local airport​ and loved that plane.

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No. I've never had the chance.

  • @bengus8148
    @bengus8148 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I live about 5-6 miles NW of ICT,cool to see you swing around McConnell AFB and land on the left side where Cessna is. When was this flight? Big thunderstorms all spring and summer and record rain. Now in the fall it's bone dry. Most of us moan and groan when we have to have a car fixed and get the bill,I can't imagine how much the one on the Citation would run. Great vid,new subscriber.

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks David. This was in August. It's not just on the Cessna's. All aircraft are expensive to maintain. I've always said that the purchase price was just the entry fee you pay for the privilege to keep paying. Apologies to all the aircraft manufacturers.

  • @michael712020
    @michael712020 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very nice plane, and good video. How about talking more about what is going on inside the plane, instead of fast forwarding. I like to see more of the inside

  • @graysono
    @graysono 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just re-watched this again.
    Fascinating how as 'airspeed comes alive', rain starts to move off windshield and is gone by 100! Is it simply Citation aerodynamics, or is this extra air that is forced over the window that does it?
    Does it work well on landing too??
    So no need for wipers.

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      it's a combination of the air and the windshield is treated to repel water. We also have the ability to direct bleed air to the windshield which helps. It works just as well for landing.

    The forward view is much-improved! Did you mount the camera to the side of the headrest, Jim?

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's still on the window with a suction cup but the arm is slightly longer.

  • @anthonywilson2526
    @anthonywilson2526 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Captain - another great video, thanks! Your videos are always very well put together. I'm sure someone has asked before but what cameras do you use and what video editing software? The results are very natural looking.

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks Anthony. I use my phone, a Samsung Galaxy s6 for almost everything but the view out he front of the airplane. For that I use a GoPro 4. For editing I use Power Director 14.

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I believe you and think that's a worthy goal.

  • @graysono
    @graysono 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    So the 'ground flap' setting is only available on the landing rollout not selectable in the air? Looks like it would create a huge amount of drag! Why as you told me the thrust attenuators aren't needed anymore. Big drag and great brakes. Happy Thanksgiving from down here in Middle Earth!

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Graysono. They are only approved for use on the ground. But, surprisingly they are not locked out when the aircraft is in flight.

  • @nosvives7939
    @nosvives7939 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Jim, for your editing, consider downloading a copy of Davinci 12, incredibly, it's free, but it'll allow you to pull back some of the darker shots that you're getting when the flight-deck is backlit. I'd love to see more vids of your ILS shots.

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      thanks for the info Nos.

  • @monkeyman522
    @monkeyman522 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Just curious what altitude you generally fly at. It seems like you're always between two cloud layers. Also, your plane was made here in my little town of Doo-Dah. Makes me proud.

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Monkey man. The flights are more interesting to video when there's a little weather and more than half our flight are fairly short legs. for the longer flight 38-41

  • @p00pie
    @p00pie 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    You are sooo cool. Just found you.

  • @petedavis8701
    @petedavis8701 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm new to your channel, and if you've done this before I apologise. Can you explain why you can't fly above bad weather generally. I appreciate you have to get through it to get above it ob take off and again on landing.

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      For the most part we are above the weather. We end up flying in the weather when taking off, landing or when the trip is to short for us to climb above the weather.

    Can you show how the plane is refueled? Also, how high were you on this flight?

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      The refueling is over the wing, I'll try to do that.

    How do you like the G3000? easy? hard? Great video.

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I really like it. It's easy if you transition from other Garmin products. If not, the course that Flight Safety provides is well worth it.

  • @GaryMCurran
    @GaryMCurran 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    You talked about the Ground Flap setting at the end of the video. Is that the reason you went to the Service Center? You didn't really say, or I missed it, one or the other.
    Happy Thanksgiving to you, and Kris, your daughter and What Six Year Old who leaves pillows outside in the rain? :p

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Gary. No, I lost all the video from wichita to sus where I showed the ground flap setting. I was actually going out that way to pickup so we decided to stop at Cessna to take care of some minor issues. That would not have been worth flying out for.

    • @GaryMCurran
      @GaryMCurran 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      captmoonbeam Okay. Too bad about losing the video, I really enjoy what you put together. I doubt that I'll ever be able to return to the cockpit, financial reasons, but I really enjoy going along for the ride. Also, you are such a friendly person, and you make all of us feel welcome aboard. We also get a feeling for what it's like to be a charter/corporate pilot.
      Thanks for all you do for us, as Dean Martin said in "Airport" 'ground-bound penguins!'

  • @2018paulrobbinx
    @2018paulrobbinx 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    So there is no reverse thrust on the M2? And the flaps extend further to act like spoilers with spoilers for aerodynamic braking?

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      that is correct. The M2 also has excellent braking. it decelerates so well you don't notice the absence of thrust reversers.

    • @2018paulrobbinx
      @2018paulrobbinx 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      captmoonbeam one more question. So are the landing flaps pilot actuated or no? What if you have to do a go around?

    Hi Cap. Does your company hire interns for the summer? My son attends Florida Institute of Technology in Melbourne Fl. He currently has his private, instrument and will complete his commercial and multi before this year is up. We live in North Iowa so it would not be a stretch for him to base out of St Louis for the summer. Just curious. Love the vids!!

    • @captmoonbeam
      @captmoonbeam  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Paul. The company has in the past but, not for our flight department.
