Matt - Love your videos. They are what I look forward to each day when I take a break from work. They serve as my escape. I wish you the best in all your future aviation endeavors and pray for your continued safe travels and producing these awesome videos. They are much appreciated!!!
I've been flying for 40 years since I was 19. That was a cool restuarant you were at early in the video. Every other weekend I like to take my plane out and search for the coolest and/or best on field restaurants around. A couple times I've flown out to Salina Kansas just to fetch some beef for a family get together... Kind of cool. Can't afford that very often, hell the steaks cost as much as the flight. lol. My point is that flying and having a plane available opens all kinds of different things to do. Your video's show that and I for one appreciate what you do. Cheers.
Been to 1K1 many times! Fantastic airport and cafe. I used to fly into MCI to pick my mother up and fly her back to MHK. Signature at MCI was always very accommodating and never charged me a ramp fee or anything. Good times in Kansas.
Nice Love your videos man they have helped inspire me to start learning to be a pilot. I now have over 50 hours and plan on getting my PPL as soon as I can
Matt...always great vlogs to watch.. must feel great being up above the clouds with such views...that burger and fries looked amazing.. Take care buddy and looking forward to your next flight...Jonathan (UK)
Glad you were able to stop at my favorite airport and eat at my favorite hangout. It’s even better when the weather is nice and you can eat on the patio and watch the Stearmans take to the air.
G-600 query - have you thought of switching the displays? so the horizon etc is on the right and then aren't reaching across to change the heading bug, and ALT hold etc.?
Matt: Great vids of the beauty you share from around the country and world. I’m amazed at your ability to fund the many trips. Fuel, Maintenance/repairs, insurance, overnight accommodations/food etc. Are your patrons and sponsors enough to fund your many flights?
Does the ice bother you in a bonanza? Even in the Cessna 310 - I just try to avoid at all costs. Usually our icing is not intermittent though it's all ice or no ice.
It struck me as a really stupid decision to fly a single-engine airplane into icing conditions. My opinion wouldn’t have been different even if his airplane was equipped with de-ice/anti-ice systems. He’s a foolish pilot that is on the way to being a fatal aviation statistic. For the sake of us all, I hope he wises up before he kills himself and anyone else foolish enough to fly with him.
I've shared your story with some of the young pilots of Rangely Colorado USA. I have been a fan of your adventures and travels. I really enjoy the restaurants you travel to. Awesome thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the Cvid dinner date you posted. I am a fan
Dear Mateo if you want to be in the conversation with being the lil Wayne’s of TH-cam, you gotta keep going with the 🔥; you got so much content and pontential let’s put that mit tech to use cuzz
Matt, I do love your videos, one of your early mentors is a very good friend, who taught me to fly a Meridian years back, Bill Orland, I flew with him in his C140 a few weeks ago. But some of the things you do I can't get behind. It seems often you use Nexrad to penetrate systems, which I know you know can be very delayed. In the MMOPA community we feel this has been the cause of some fatal incidents. Regarding the icing it seems to me you were not legal, per FAR 91.257 operating in icing conditions.I really don't want to be critical, you are an awesome pilot, but you are human and young and not invincible. What should I think. The way you fly (your missions) you need a FIKI radar equipped plane.IMHO
Definitely not using NEXRAD for anything but situational awareness. Icing wasn’t known icing, and we exited the conditions as soon as we entered them. Bill is fantastic.
For signature Golly Gosh - that is a surprise. If you're unable to service the client, you should not serve the client at all. EWR lost CEO's baggage within the baggage was medicine to be taken daily - A secondary aircraft was required to fly the luggage 7 1/2 hours to South America - Signature did not accept responsibility.

Matt, just found your channel recently and while I enjoy the adventures and situations, all your comm's with ATC drive me crazy because of the your extreme case of "vocal fry" when you talk and try to sound cool and casual. Google "Vocal Fry" and you'll see what I mean. Really...this is not a prank.
Most of what you’re complaining about is just distortion. The output from his audio panel is over-driving the amp circuit in whatever recording device he is using and it’s clipping the signal.
@@SkylaneGuy I appreciate your response Craig. I'm a PWI and degreed EE and know about clipping. I also worked at my college radio station. Google "Vocal Fry: (also called :"Glottal Fry"):and you'll see what I mean. Matt (and other TH-camr's) usually defaults to this mode when talking to ATC. It's common to see this on many flying videos when the pilot tries to sound cool and casual. One of Steno's occasional co-pilots does the same.
I'm guessing you watched on your phone? On a computer there was only 1 or 2 ads. I've noticed that some channels have 10X ads on mobile devices... possibly from TH-cam, not decided by the channel.
The Auto Pilot should Log the Instrument time it'd doing the flying. I always things Quit when they were needed the most. Sure I had Kept Proficient, Not just a Button Pusher.

Pilots who challenge bad weather in a light single-engine airplane are not known for long life-spans. And before you argue with me look up the accident that claimed Scott Crossfield.
@@igclapp So are you saying that it was ATC’s fault that Scott Crossfield died in this plane crash? Are you saying there were no weather forecasts that indicated that bad weather was a possibility? Explain your position, please.
@@UtSlpilot Yes, the NTSB report did attribute some blame to ATC for failing to advise that Crossfield was heading into a thunderstorm. Pilots of light planes often have to avoid weather and they are not necessarily being reckless by deciding to fly instead of staying on the ground. I particularly object to your inference that Crossfield was "challenging" the bad weather, as if he intentionally went into the worst of it to prove a point. By the way, he was 84 when he died and he probably made many, many flights during which he had to avoid weather. If pilots only flew in perfect weather, a lot of flights would be cancelled.
@@igclapp Ultimately is the pilot in command who makes the decision on the safety of flight. The responsibility or blame lies there, no other place. I have made both decisions in my time, not commencing a flight in questionable weather, and diverting to an alternate airport because of weather. Regardless of flight experience, large or small, a pilot for the sake of themselves, their passengers and aircraft must be prepared to end a flight when the weather is unsuitable to continue the flight. If you want to give Mr. Crossfield a pass because because ATC didn’t tell him about bad weather ahead of him, be my guest, but as a professional pilot I do not extend that leniency. The fact of the matter is as I left in my comment: light aircraft have no business flying in bad weather, and a good share of the time large and heavy airplanes have no business flying in bad weather. And I care very little about you objecting to the characterization of the Crossfield crash, if Mr. Crossfield were around to object then I would listen to what he had to say, but I am certainly not going to listen to you as you carry a torch for him.
If it’s on the windshield, it’s everywhere. For me it builds on the wing ends and moves inboard. Scary stuff and from my 84 year old marine corps aviator mentor, never ever fly in ice. Never. That’s why you get out ASAP.
@@avfan967 is that what I said? No. I said if it’s on the windscreen it will be accumulating everywhere. I fly an A36 Bonanza IFR and that’s my experience. What’s your experience in A36? Or any Bonanza?
@@leeoldershaw956 I fly a Cirrus SR22 and I'm used to hearing comments like yours knocking the automation. I manage and monitor the airplane instead of hand flying for 3 hours straight. For single pilot ifr it's 1000% safer imo. Again the airliners don't fly this way to make the pilots comfortable.
@@rdawgz866 I used APs all the time with Comanches, Twin Commanche, L188 Electra's, L1011, DC 9s. The month before a proficiency check I would hand fly a lot. No AP use during checks back then. First trip in L1011 I hand flew it at FL390 to see how it handled. It handled well but it was a full time job to keep within +/-20 ft. I wouldn't accept an airplane without a functioning AP unless it was a short hop in good weather. The problem in GA is single pilot relying on automation. We had automation, 2 pilots and 10 employees supporting each pilot. Hand fly often using the back up gauges.
Matt - Love your videos. They are what I look forward to each day when I take a break from work. They serve as my escape. I wish you the best in all your future aviation endeavors and pray for your continued safe travels and producing these awesome videos. They are much appreciated!!!
I guess Matt dont have the problem of working? I wonder why?
Your videos are awesome dude. I just finished my IFR ticket and these videos really inspire me to actually go use it. Killer single pilot IFR

As someone who did all my flight training in Kansas City I loved seeing you come into KC!!! Loved the video as always
I learn something new, every time I watch. Thanks for sharing. What you share helps me to be better and safer too.

It's a great little airport
Hello from KMHK!
@@mhkansan hello! I got my PPL out of MHK. I miss Kansas flying actually. I’m in Arizona now.
This departure is literally the argument for why 80 percent of GA Pilots want to get IFR cert.
Nice

Owen fell asleep 😴. Ha!😂
Stearman field is a great place ! Weekends are awesome - with lots of flying!
Nice video with IFR decision making. Really like your posts. Looking forward to seeing you at the McClelland B2OSH clinic this week!
Good pilot, confident, knowledgeable,
Thanks Matt! Awesome video. Your proficiency really shows with IMC. You are an inspiration.
I see Hoovie's dad's hangar. Small world.
I'm sure Signature is loving your recommendation. ;-)
Either that or the manager is saying "Oh, thanks for reminding me we never billed you for that!"
15:50 Owen was catching all the bugs
G-600 query - have you thought of switching the displays? so the horizon etc is on the right and then aren't reaching across to change the heading bug, and ALT hold etc.?
1K1 is an *awesome* airpark. They had the 2020 ACCA there last year. What a blast! Stearman Bar and Grill is hella tasty!
Matt did you found out what happened when you moved the controle to the right?
Just wondering out of curiosity.... how many hours do you have on your plane ?
Matt: Great vids of the beauty you share from around the country and world. I’m amazed at your ability to fund the many trips. Fuel, Maintenance/repairs, insurance, overnight accommodations/food etc. Are your patrons and sponsors enough to fund your many flights?
Good Lads. Well done. A whole lot of fun.
That airplane sounds great...sounds healthy.
Perfect landing!
Love your adventures so much man!
Your videos are so inspiring!
Question: do you plan on buying other planes or are you just gonna stick with this one? I like the bonanza alot so im just asking
Such a pro.
How's your alternator now, is that issue resolved?
damn you skipped right over my airspace in the editing lol. I wasn't working anyway, I'd know your callsign when I see it. Great video!

In which quality are u filimg with the gopro?
“Unless we get a temperature drop in the next 80 miles…” 😆
Hey Matt, I have a question. Which plane would you rather me get: Beech Bonanza or Piper Lance?
Great video Matt and Owen. What kind of camera and lens was Owen using on this flight?
Curious: What's the DTMF beep every once in a while?
Autopilot I believe
It’s to make sure u stay awake for autopilot
It’s the autopilot target altitude warning
Thanks, all.
Welcome back Matt!
Love the view!
That breakout at 9:30!
Instrument time on AP, LOL😂
What about the Alternator? Is it fixed?
In the last video it was swapped out with an older one that seemed to work. (Though I don't know if the videos are out of order.)
I've shared your story with some of the young pilots of Rangely Colorado USA. I have been a fan of your adventures and travels. I really enjoy the restaurants you travel to. Awesome thank you for sharing. I enjoyed the Cvid dinner date you posted. I am a fan

For all our sakes I hope so.. Can't take another video about a broken alternator or I'll unsub.

12 mini?
No ads on my phone.

PARKING...some airport charge to stop and pick up a passenger ?
Head to C75 in IL. Eat at the pizza peel
Order the calzone!
What more do you want; a hamburger and drag racing on TV.

And another bowl of minimums
Out of curiousity how do you fly all around the world without getting into trouble with military and law enforcement ?
ATC tells him where to go probably. I would hope they know where to avoid.
