Awesome trip to GA. Next time, you should come to West GA and visit me! :D Can't wait to be able to do this. Still early in my PPC journey (12 hours). These videos are so encouraging.
@@ZeroThreeDelta You did a great job. That amount of wind is nothing to scoff at. Also, I'm jealous at how fast that 182 is. The one I rent only cruises around 120kts.
Great video! Love the 182. And since your beating yourself up on the landing, I’ll go ahead and agree with you. Landings can always be better. It didn’t suck though😂 Fair Skies and Following Winds!
Yeah, sadly all the camera issues forced me to scrap all the moving around while on the ground. We got around on a golf cart (available at the airport) and went to a restaurant and the historic district. We will go back again and I will definitely do more filming next time.
@@coppi60 It’s advisable you book ahead of time, but it was Mother’s Day weekend so we played it safe. I believe it was $125 for a 24hr rental. The company is called ‘Red Bug Motors’.
Gareth, that was a good landing and yes it could have been betterer, you should have taken off again and tried again... hahaha just kidding. Nice flight.. how long did it take to get the HP endorsement?
We were going to do it but his schedule didn’t allow, so I used a different CFI. It was 1hr ground and 2hrs flying. The ground is to cover the inner workings of a constant speed prop and air flow management and the flying was like a checkout, so maneuvers, emergencies and landings.
That's good to know. I like how you are always in a different aircraft. Gives you more flexibility when renting. I hope to do the same when I get my license. (Currently at 32 hours)
@@marktorrisi1754 I like having the option as Leesburg is technically the closest airport to where I live, and Apopka is 25 min. Orlando is 55 min but it’s still my favorite. Sadly, the fleet at Leesburg has just gone up in price, so a Cessna 172SP is now $179 + tax, so about $190 wet as opposed to the fleet at Orlando which is $140 wet including tax. I’d rather drive the extra 45 min to Orlando to save $50 per hour!
I know the head and hands are into it. Lets see you and Lew drop the "2" and check out in a 180 and see if your feet are into it... LOL. I know you can do it.
Sorry to disappoint. I wasn’t able to get a whole bunch of footage because we had to get before sunset as I wasn’t night current at the time and our departure from Orlando was delayed due to reasons beyond our control. We will go back at some point and shoot a proper video.

Always looking for new places to fly to! Glad you’re enjoying the videos 😁
Stick with it. Don't postpone. Seriously. It gets ALOT more expensive if you pause training cor any reason.
Great video. Loved all the new tech in the plane
Yeah, it’s great to use. Makes things very simple!
Awesome video!!!! Can’t wait to start my adventure flying!!!
It’s a blast! 😁
Very nice machine and well kitted out. Able co-Pilot and loved the “Don’t fondle the pilot!” 👍😎
😂😂😂
The trick to landing the 182 is using enough trim on final and before. That elevator is heavy and you want the trim to do most of the work for you.
Couldn’t agree more!

So great to watch you flying and enjoying what I dream but I can't achieve... take advantage of that and fly as much as you can
Cant achieve? 🤔
@@ZeroThreeDelta no, I’m broke and getting old and living in a country where these things are no easy to get access to (Portugal)
@@nunolfprods Oh man, that sucks.

Haha, thanks 😁
@@ZeroThreeDelta I like to be supportive! You are welcome! 😀
Very nice, what's it like compared to the 172 ?. Back pressure on the yoke is quite heavy, what say you ? Thanks 😊
Yeah, very nose heavy thanks to the extra cylinders. Superb for cruising though.
Loving all your content:)
Thanks Tim 😁
Just curious, what’s the resolution like on the 275s? Like how well can you see the numbers on the tape?
They’re excellent. It’s like looking at a steam gauge. No issues with clarity at all.
So, what did you do at Jekyll? How did you get around, etc? I enjoy the videos; keep them coming.

@@ZeroThreeDelta Thanks; I look forward to it. Did you have to reserve the golf cart ahead of time? How much?

nice
Thanks!
Gareth, that was a good landing and yes it could have been betterer, you should have taken off again and tried again... hahaha just kidding. Nice flight.. how long did it take to get the HP endorsement?
About 3hrs - 1hr ground and 2hrs flying. Plus a little studying.
Did Lewis give you your High-Performance Endorsement? What kind of training do you need for that?

Landing was fine, the 182 is still usable. Lol

I am considering, at some point, of doing my tail wheel endorsement. Seems to be a popular topic around here at the moment.
Twerking 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
*Leans forward in arm chair* landing was shit GARETH!!
😂😂😂
More outside video lot less inside video.
It would have been the case if we weren’t having camera issues, as pointed out in the subsequent video.
Nice plane but where the hell is the Jekyll Island footage? Thumbs down on this!
