I only subscribed a few weeks ago,. . and I was Stunned to find out in later vids that Jaime was NOT a pilot herself !,. . .her Comms skill ability is Great. . .a natural with the radio and ATC. . . Flying in the USA is on my bucket list. . .such a huge country. . . .Thank you for your work folks. . . . Jim.
She's a natural with radio and ATC because she IS an Air Traffic Controller (so is he). They work in Chicago TRACON (the departure/arrival ATC for their airport). That's why, if you notice in some of their vids, they are sometimes fairly casual when talking to them.
Thank you Mark! It's pretty amazing how capable but simple it is. That was honestly our first flight doing that with no other discussion and she was able to do it all herself on the second one. Of course we will continue with all the other possible variables but I think it will get the discussion going with other pilots and their non-flying spouses. :)
And that is exactly where Christine and I are. We’ve been discussing that exact scenario. I suggested she complete an online private pilot ground school which she will likely do. Your video really shows how a digital autopilot will allow the non-flying spouse to make it to a runway without having to hand fly the bird. That is critical. Task saturation is an understatement if they have to hand fly, talk on the radio, maintain altitude and airspeed, and find a runway, for the FIRST time. Jaime was very calm and capable all because of the digital autopilot. Guess what just moved up the priority list. After all SAFETY first! Thanks again for continuing to “show” the aviation community the hows and whys of your equipment.
Great video. Wife has the bug to get her ppl. Don’t know if you’ve answered this, but what type of headset does Jaime use. I just upgraded to a Lightspeed from a DC. Looking for the wife.
Every pilot should take the time to do this ! My wife and I have worked out a procedure she can follow for incidents in the air and at home for intruders etc.. I hope she never needs it, but if she does... GREAT video Kevin. Jaime did a nice job ! I don’t recall ever seeing a video on this, so you guys may never realize how many families you helped with this. Safe skies guys ! 🇺🇸🛫
Only thing I would add to that is to have them declare an emergency and explain that they have been briefed as to the plan and is on autopilot so control doesn’t try to screw up your carefully planned procedure. The emergency declaration would clear the way for them as you know, and that way they don’t have to worry about traffic. Just get the plane on the ground as your emergency plan has been laid out for them. That would also alert ground crews to be ready for you when you get down. EMT’s to tend to you and fire crews to attend to the plane if necessary. Just my thoughts 😊
Great job, guys. This was one of your best episodes. Practicing emergency procedures before an emergency is the best way to make sure the procedures will work. A suggestion, print the checklist in an oversized and easy to read font with double spaced lines. In a real emergency, it will make it easier to get through the steps with out making a mistake. We use circle, slash for place keeping on procedures. BTW, Jamie seems to always drive her own car. Doesn't she trust your driving?
Jamie I'm here to tell you that I am so proud of you, there is no doubt in my mind that you cannot land that airplane safely because you are one smart cookie.
Great video, Kevin. You have a great teaching style, but you also have an amazing student ! She handled that like she had been doing it for years. You both are very accomplished professionals, and it shows. Great job Jaime! I think there is more training in your future !
Absolutely spectacular !!!!!! Such a perfect video to simply spur the rest of us into thinking about the what if's. Nice CYA on your part at the end, but seriously, this video needs to be seen by as many as possible and have it kept in the context you created it in. But just know I for one took a great "lesson" from this one, ok a "suggestion"...........:) Thank you both !!!!
Clow International: 588 nm from my home airport. Whew. Too far. Very interesting video. Just keep a cheat sheet in the glove box and she's good to go. Flow chart of the approach procedures, tach numbers, gear and flap procedures, auto pilot off, power and flare, then mixture to cutoff. Piece of cake. Great job both of you. Looking forward to the next one.
That autopilot is a lifesaver! Cool video Kevin, good to see Jaimie again as well and she did great at getting the plane to the runway! I'm sure you feel much better knowing that in a worse case scenario she could get safely on the ground.
Good job, Jamie!!! You've got a lock on this. I've been flying twin Cessnas for a long time, and they are very strong, very forgiving planes. You'll do well.
You have to be one of STecs top sales associates by now, lol! Great video! You guys just tackled one of my most thought about (worried about) topics. I will definitely start having some of these conversations with my wife. The 3100's ease of operation makes that pretty simple. Now to start working on the actual landing............ ;-)
Your trips and vids are always fun to watch PLUS there is always something to learn when you demonstrate avionics or techniques. Great work Jamie. Safe flying guys.
Kevin, there used to be 50-60 Ultralights at Wheatland Air Field back in the early 80’s (SE corner of Rt. 30 and Rt. 34). Saturday morning a bunch would land at Clow for breakfast. We also would land at McDonald’s on the Rt. 30 bypass for a lunch or dinner. Great times! Love your vids and adventures out of KARR...brings back so many memories!
I think this video was one of the coolest because it really shows real love and prepared game plan's in the unfortunate case of pilot in distress! Jamie is a so professional on her radio com's! You two could definitely have a reality show and following with millions of folks! Only thing I would suggest is adding 310 Pilot hats to your list of merchandise! Very cool !!!!
Kudos to both of you for training for emergency ops. Love how you simplified the procedures to the bare necessities for Jaime. I still find it interesting that as good as she is with the radios and ATC (yes, I know that's what she does) she doesn't really care to learn to fly or get her license. Great video. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!
Very nice job, she wasnt long figuring it all out and making it work correctly. Its hard to believe that the auto-pilot performs that well. Just a idea maybe you could also put a little sum-em sum-em in the glove box for her along with the cheat sheet. Great video you all rock!!!!!
First of all, Very well done Jaimie, and also that was a great video description of using equipment that we have available to each of us in our airplanes, thanks and keep them coming
Excellent planning. Nothing wrong with having a plan for a emergency. That 3100 is quite the unit. Jaime was paying close attention and nailed her part. Makes me think...I need to get my other half behind the wheel of the truck with our 38 ft toyhauler behind her and get her comfortable with shifting and operating the exhaust brake etc.
You two have inspired my wife and I to work on an emergency plan as well. It’s been in the back of our minds for a couple of years now. I like the idea of a written “checklist” in the glove box, and possibly a few annual “trainings”. Great video and hope to run into you two next week!!!
Great job Jaime. Even with those 43KT gusts. I finally made my flight through your area this past Saturday morning. Flew Lafayette, IN to Rochester, MN on my way from the East coast back to Alberta. I talked to Chicago Center in Kankakee, Aurora and Debuque as well as Rockford Approach. Heard lots of names familiar from your videos, but no familiar voices. Maybe next time.
GREAT video, you two! Important knowledge to have, and practice this often to build 'mental memory'. She will be under so much stress if the scenario plays itself with Kevin incapacitated or even physically traumatized. Thanks again for sharing!!!
That was Kevin teaching Jaime what she would need to do in their plane with their setup. What a great video Kevin. I feel like I would want to try to learn to fly with each video. You make flying so interesting and fun. Jaime, I just feel.one day we will see you solo. Maybe not, but what a great set if videos that would make start to finish. Well, maybe one day!
This is awesome that 1) you're taking the time to do that, and 2) she's that interested. After we were first married, I gave my wife dual instruction while I was working as a CFI/I, but she never gained enough confidence to solo. This was VMC of course, with old steam gauges. She'd never even make an attempt at the glass panel stuff.
Hey Kevin... That was a great idea.. As a pilot you never know.. But one time is not gonna do it... If she is interested I'd keep her doing it many time so as she can get the feeling ... Nice to have a co pilot along...On long trip especially... Doing great..
Great video Kevin! Jaime looked good going through the steps. ( meaning she looked comfortable and confident) she's a rock star! By the way, I think you guys will like the Mackinac area. I've been up there several times and we flew up there twice in the past. Beautiful area and our flight was pretty scenic. That's just my opinion lol. We always, when Melissa and I fly, recite the statement......fail to plan, plan on failing. It's our way going through and practicing various situations that could possibly occur during a flight. Just like what you and Jaime did. It's a reassuring feeling.
Great video as usual. Great work Jamie for stepping up and getting it done. Great job Kevin for showing her this and sharing it with all of us. You two are awesome 😁
Love you guys. I’ve been checking out autopilots and a BIG Benifit in my mind is to be able to use it in an emergency to help a non pilot passenger get use back on the ground safely just as you have demonstrated. Thank you for the demonstration.
Guys (Steve&Jamie) you know, guys, I love your videos, gets me up there again, now days I fly a wheelchair, and the landings are rough. I feel every crack and rough spot every where I go. I know you make money off UT, but the pleasure you bring to us land dwellers is incalculable, I love riding along on the flights, course in the near future, piloting will be an option, you will be able to just talk to the plane and be on your way. Wonder how long it will be before humans are not needed or required on planet earth, enjoy yourself here and now, it's all we've got :-)
I looked away for a sec, and then back right after you took off and saw the Best Buy right off the runway. I used to fly out of KRYY in Kennesaw, and there's a bestbuy right off of runway 27. I had to run back to see where you were :)
Great video! I think every GA pilot should do what you did with their spouse/significant other/regular flying partner. Seems like AOPA used to have an online basics course like that, but not sure if they still do. As usual, I enjoyed riding along with you.
Very interesting video Kevin. I'm confident Jaime could handle any emergency that would come up while flying with you. By the way, you need to video more of Jaime walking in that very nice outfit. Fly safe and keep the videos coming. Thanks
Kevin, Nice job on the video. Jamie excellent job on the approach "nailed it". This is probably something everyone should talk to about anyone they fly a lot with. Unfortunately I don't have a sweet auto pilot. But at least I can work on some kind of emergency get it on the ground plan. So far my wife and girls haven't been too open to handling the controls but I will continue to work on it. I now have a engine bolted back on my plane, just have a 2 to 3 hour break-in test flight and then back to some regular flying. Thank you guys for all the hard work you guys put into these videos. This channel has rapidly become my favorite. I would like to say I would try for a meet up down in Oshkosh but I don't think it is in the cards for me this year. Just too busy. Even though it is only a 3 hour drive for me. Just drove by there yesterday as I was in Milwaukee for business and there are already quite a few campers setup and ready. Hope you all have a great time.
Dear Kevin and Jamie, very happy to see this video and I hope that you will practice fairly frequently. What a good video. Especially that you two have children, family and friends that fly with you. If Kevin ever becomes incapacitated due to whatever reason, (doesn't have to be death) Jamie will have the confidence and ability to take the bird down safely. Without any doubt, with very little practice, Jamie could land that plane on the ground and bring it to a complete stop safely. Well done! Be well!
Outstanding Kevin and Jamie. Your great relationship, the AP and Kelvin’s teaching style made a great video. Thanks for the positive examples. So worthwhile to watch. Always look forward to your videos. Admire both of you.Take care.
Kevin and Jamie a great video. Jamie great job on flying, Breakfast looked good. I am running out of adjectives to describe how much I enjoy your videos please Know I enjoy them very much. Thank you for sharing as always
I think its absolutely important for anyone sitting in the copilot seat to have basic training and preparation for emergency situations. Hat off to you Jamie , you did an excellent job and you too Kevin. Keep up her training so it becomes second nature, maybe even let her complete future rnavs.
WOW!!!!! I never expected you to answer my question at all let alone so fast!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me. Someday I hope we can meet and have dinner or at least a drink. I fly out of KISP on Long Island, just so you know. Take care, be safe!
Great video guys, hoping we see more videos of Jamie continuing to learn and practicing this procedure until it's 2nd nature to do so. Stay current and keep being involved. Great video lesson and hope it inspires other couples that fly to together to do the same. You guys are absolutely my favorite YT'ers. Blues skies from KSHV, KBAD.
Nice work Jaime. I’ll have to show this video to my wife to boost her confidence/nerves about what she could do in an emergency. Kevin you should think about becoming a certified instructor. You have the disposition to be a great at it. Keep’em coming!
Excellent video and great idea! I think its very beneficial to show your non-rated co-pilot how things work and how to effectively get the aircraft down safely. I've had my co-pilot go through the AOPA/ASA Pinch hitter course and I'm always showing her how things work in the cockpit. On our way to Osh I'll be showing her how to use the 55X with a coupled approach. Great idea.
Thank you Guys for brightening my days with every new video!! I love the music you use in your lead in and out, I had to find the song and I now have it added to my library. you two are truly blessed!!
Really enjoyed watching the video. Only flown a small single engine plane once but enjoyed the experience. Keep up the good work. Jaime you did brilliant.
My Wife refuses to fly with me. . . says flying is dangerous (!) . . .yet before we were Wed in 1970, she used to sit on the back of my Triumph Bonneville Bike at 95MPH thru the mountain roads with nary a whimper. . . and yet your Lady performs an Rnav in a Twin. . . . I am seriously Impressed Sir ! ( Not forgetting Jaime's contribution ! )
I also provide non-pilot passengers a list of what to do in that event I become incapacitated as well. Since I fly different aircraft, Cessna 172's to Cirrus', I have a unique set of instructions for each. I think doing this should be a requirement of us all. Glad to see you doing that with your family Kevin.
Kevin...congratulations you are an excellent teacher...now jamie is ready to make a safety landing in case of something happen....cool. Could you make a video and explain the IAS function specifically!!....please, thanks kevin and jamie for your videos...me and my son enjoyed it .
We get 30-60 gusty winds out here in Lubbock, Texas every week during the spring. 20-30kts is a normal day here. The air force comes here and does lots of crosswind landing practices.
Very good idea for Jaime to learn this, you never know, it could actually happen God forbid. ATC had me scared when he said winds gusting to 43, lol, time to head for another airport. Now Kevin how about talking Jaime into actually landing the plane, like you said you never know. It's one thing to know what to do but to actually perform the task is another. I'm really lovin all the additions you have made to the 310. You have one heck of a setup Kevin, thank you for the time you invest in making these video's.
You're very welcome for the videos. I'm just glad ya'll are enjoying them and thank you for the support. We will keep working on emergency procedures but I feel confident she can get her done if she is forced to. Hopefully that never happens. :)
@@310Pilot I agree with you, maybe someday she'll give it try just for the heck of it. Glad to see your channel doing great, it's one of the better ones on youtube. Thanks for your time Kevin.
Good looking lunch patio,... IF ya ever get to Grants Pass Oregon Airport and it is warm, get a ride to Galice and try a Burger at the restaurant next to the river........ look for it on You Tube, . ya might want to float the river and fish some Salmon too then fly the coast for the view. Just a thought and a very pleasant area.
Absolutely essential for any family to know and to practice. In flight emergency health issue may not happen often but they can and do on occasion. I would strongly encourage any pilot with a non pilot wife to at least practice the basics from time to time to keep the procedures fresh in their mind. You just might save a life or lives. Thanks for a great video of how it can be done. Of course planes not as well equipped might take a little more knowledge but that should be no factor in teaching wives or perhaps children the basics. Great Job.
So cool ! Clow airport is where my parents learned to fly back in the late 70’s and later bought an Grumman traveler then a Tiger. It has changed a lot down there. My uncle had a body shop at Clow back I gotta the day. I happen to notice the right fuel gauge bouncing a bit maybe normal but just something I noticed. You guys are great and love watching your videos. Wally Smith from Naperville 😉👍👍❤️🍀🍀
Howdy Wally from nearby! It's hard to believe they allowed them to build houses that close to the runway that has been there for that long. These old fuel gauges are notorious for acting like that. I have a digital fuel computer on my engine monitor that is very accurate. One of these days I plan to modernize my fuel gauges. :)
Well done Jaime, remember practice makes perfect, its one thing to do it when everything is hypothetical, but iff it were for real things would be very different. Your a good man Kev.
Great job with your explanations Kevin, and great job with executing Jaime! Good idea having a cheat sheet too. You both looked very relaxed during the procedures too. Did you get her a visor with a mirror on it yet? She's certainly earned it now! :) Really enjoy your videos!
I love all your videos I love how you explained everything very slowly and how you fly the plane I’m starting my pilot training here in the next month ground school thank you you are making it very easy for me to understand what the controls do
Clow ...Clow .. Clow ... it hasn't stopped yet ... 🤣 Amazing system there. That was pretty slick! Excellent job, Jamie! What a great feature - that alone is well worth the price. Thanks Kevin & Jamie - great vid!👍👍
Nice job Jamie...hope we see you doing more with the STEC and maybe even more navigation with the auto pilot/fms. Breakfast looked inviting too! A little bit of grease just lubes yer innards n keeps 'em running smoooooth!
Excellent explanation Kevin---u would make a good instructor. Jaime you did well with the GPS and A/P programming. Enjoyed the video you guys and thanks from Cajun Country---GOoo Tigers!!!!
Kevin, I didn't know I missed this video.. shame on me..but it was great... and Jaime was a great "pilot'.. plus she looked great too.. (but you knew that).. Keep up the good work both of you.. at 68 I doubt I'll see my license but I'll still fly places, with you guys, vicariously.
Kevin, been watching several of your flights with Jamie and even with kids. I was fooled, I thought that Jamie was licensed, with the way she talks so smooth with ATC & GC. I'm hooked on your videos. Thanks for taking me/us to places I/we may never get to see otherwise.
Excellent! I know you know this, but... I hope you'll practice this as often as you can, because if something like this ever happens, stress will be a LOT higher. Congratulations on being such a great team, both on the ground and in the air. By the way, the plane looks great... Nice to always see a clean, shiny 310!
I only subscribed a few weeks ago,. . and I was Stunned to find out in later vids that Jaime was NOT a pilot herself !,. . .her Comms skill ability is Great. . .a natural with the radio and ATC. . .

She's a natural with radio and ATC because she IS an Air Traffic Controller (so is he). They work in Chicago TRACON (the departure/arrival ATC for their airport). That's why, if you notice in some of their vids, they are sometimes fairly casual when talking to them.
Awesome. Great video as usual. The autopilot is definitely a must have for safety. Great job Jaime!
Thank you Mark! It's pretty amazing how capable but simple it is. That was honestly our first flight doing that with no other discussion and she was able to do it all herself on the second one. Of course we will continue with all the other possible variables but I think it will get the discussion going with other pilots and their non-flying spouses. :)

Jamie is a very strong lady. Soft-spoken with an abundance of confidence. Thanks for sharing!
Well said Jon...all that and more. :) You're very welcome.

Won't be long now til you're riding in the right seat Kevin! Nice Job Jamie!
Great job teaching Jamie in a calm environment! The cheat sheet was a great idea! Way to go Jamie! You Rock!
Thanks Kyle! It was fun, useful and hopefully inspires other to have discussions with their loved ones. :)
Excellent job, Jamie - excellent teacher, Kevin. Another great vid
Awesome...thank you David!

Just subscribed - moving to 340 later this year - She did so great- pilot in the making - followed every step
Trust her with my life

I live in Toledo. Started watching your videos when you went to Put in Bay, one of my favorite places. You two certainly rock!
GREAT video, you two! Important knowledge to have, and practice this often to build 'mental memory'. She will be under so much stress if the scenario plays itself with Kevin incapacitated or even physically traumatized. Thanks again for sharing!!!

Well done Sis... You have a memory like a steel trap... So happy for you both...
Nice video. Like how you stressed people are the primary concern and the plane is secondary. That’s what insurance is for.
This is awesome that 1) you're taking the time to do that, and 2) she's that interested. After we were first married, I gave my wife dual instruction while I was working as a CFI/I, but she never gained enough confidence to solo. This was VMC of course, with old steam gauges. She'd never even make an attempt at the glass panel stuff.
THAT was AWESOME!!! Kevin, you need to get your instructors rating! You are an awesome explainer and implementer!!! Way to go!!! GR8 vid!!!
Nice Job Kevin and Jamie! I did the same for my wife in the Cirrus. The chute is the added option but great to review this for the unexpected.
I hope you never have to use you new found skills but it's good to have them. Safe flying ya'll
Hey Kevin... That was a great idea.. As a pilot you never know.. But one time is not gonna do it... If she is interested I'd keep her doing it many time so as she can get the feeling ... Nice to have a co pilot along...On long trip especially... Doing great..
When Jaime got out of the aircraft my heart melted! Stunning looking woman!!! Sorry if that is not appropriate, I love the channel.
@@rbmh she is a Model......... a Model WIFE, a Model MOTHER......... any man would be lucky to have her!!!
Great video Kevin! Jaime looked good going through the steps. ( meaning she looked comfortable and confident) she's a rock star! By the way, I think you guys will like the Mackinac area.

I looked away for a sec, and then back right after you took off and saw the Best Buy right off the runway.
I used to fly out of KRYY in Kennesaw, and there's a bestbuy right off of runway 27. I had to run back to see where you were :)
Great video! I think every GA pilot should do what you did with their spouse/significant other/regular flying partner. Seems like AOPA used to have an online basics course like that, but not sure if they still do. As usual, I enjoyed riding along with you.
WoW!
Jamie you are one GORGEOUS woman.
Great videos and thank you both for sharing them.
Very interesting video Kevin. I'm confident Jaime could handle any emergency that would come up while flying with you. By the way, you need to video more of Jaime walking in that very nice outfit. Fly safe and keep the videos coming. Thanks
Flew over Aurora today on our way to AirVenture, and heard Jaime calling for flight following on Approach. Very cool!
Small world aviation is. :)
Jamie you are very level headed, and calm great job.
Kevin, Nice job on the video. Jamie excellent job on the approach "nailed it". This is probably something everyone should talk to about anyone they fly a lot with. Unfortunately I don't have a sweet auto pilot. But at least I can work on some kind of emergency get it on the ground plan. So far my wife and girls haven't been too open to handling the controls but I will continue to work on it. I now have a engine bolted back on my plane, just have a 2 to 3 hour break-in test flight and then back to some regular flying. Thank you guys for all the hard work you guys put into these videos. This channel has rapidly become my favorite. I would like to say I would try for a meet up down in Oshkosh but I don't think it is in the cards for me this year. Just too busy. Even though it is only a 3 hour drive for me. Just drove by there yesterday as I was in Milwaukee for business and there are already quite a few campers setup and ready. Hope you all have a great time.
Dear Kevin and Jamie, very happy to see this video and I hope that you will practice fairly frequently. What a good video. Especially that you two have children, family and friends that fly with you. If Kevin ever becomes incapacitated due to whatever reason, (doesn't have to be death) Jamie will have the confidence and ability to take the bird down safely. Without any doubt, with very little practice, Jamie could land that plane on the ground and bring it to a complete stop safely. Well done! Be well!
Outstanding Kevin and Jamie. Your great relationship, the AP and Kelvin’s teaching style made a great video. Thanks for the positive examples. So worthwhile to watch. Always look forward to your videos. Admire both of you.Take care.
Thank you for the kind words Jesse! Glad you enjoyed it. :)
your plane flies so smooth and the avionics appears perfectly dialed in.
Kevin and Jamie a great video. Jamie great job on flying, Breakfast looked good.
I am running out of adjectives to describe how much I enjoy your videos please
Know I enjoy them very much. Thank you for sharing as always
For some reason, watching this gave me chills, as though I was watching a real emergency. Great video as always! Love the content you guys provide.
I think its absolutely important for anyone sitting in the copilot seat to have basic training and preparation for emergency situations. Hat off to you Jamie , you did an excellent job and you too Kevin. Keep up her training so it becomes second nature, maybe even let her complete future rnavs.
Great Job Jamie!! Thank you for Rocking the Ray-Bans. 😍
WOW!!!!! I never expected you to answer my question at all let alone so fast!!! Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me. Someday I hope we can meet and have dinner or at least a drink. I fly out of KISP on Long Island, just so you know. Take care, be safe!
Gusting to 43?!?! 😳 "I don't see the trees bending." You state it so matter-of-fact-ly, but I got a good laugh out of it.
Great video guys, hoping we see more videos of Jamie continuing to learn and practicing this procedure until it's 2nd nature to do so. Stay current and keep being involved. Great video lesson and hope it inspires other couples that fly to together to do the same. You guys are absolutely my favorite YT'ers. Blues skies from KSHV, KBAD.
Nice work Jaime. I’ll have to show this video to my wife to boost her confidence/nerves about what she could do in an emergency. Kevin you should think about becoming a certified instructor. You have the disposition to be a great at it. Keep’em coming!
Excellent video and great idea! I think its very beneficial to show your non-rated co-pilot how things work and how to effectively get the aircraft down safely. I've had my co-pilot go through the AOPA/ASA Pinch hitter course and I'm always showing her how things work in the cockpit. On our way to Osh I'll be showing her how to use the 55X with a coupled approach. Great idea.
Glad you enjoyed it Jason! Sounds like you already have a nice plan in place for you and your co-pilot. Maybe we'll see you around up there. :)
I'm watching these clips and am impressed with the both of you. Truly a matched pair. Thanks.
Awesome!! Thank you :)
Fantastic job... great idea. Can always practice this now and then. Both of you did great.
Thank you Guys for brightening my days with every new video!! I love the music you use in your lead in and out, I had to find the song and I now have it added to my library. you two are truly blessed!!
Thanks for the feedback Dennis and glad you're enjoying the channel!!
Really enjoyed watching the video. Only flown a small single engine plane once but enjoyed the experience. Keep up the good work. Jaime you did brilliant.
Very cool. Found the channel looking for Oshkosh vids. I got selected to work it this year (rookie). Hope to see ya there.
My Wife refuses to fly with me. . . says flying is dangerous (!) . . .yet before we were Wed in 1970, she used to sit on the back of my Triumph Bonneville Bike at 95MPH thru the mountain roads with nary a whimper. . . and yet your Lady performs an Rnav in a Twin. . . . I am seriously Impressed Sir ! ( Not forgetting Jaime's contribution ! )
I also provide non-pilot passengers a list of what to do in that event I become incapacitated as well. Since I fly different aircraft, Cessna 172's to Cirrus', I have a unique set of instructions for each. I think doing this should be a requirement of us all. Glad to see you doing that with your family Kevin.
Kevin...congratulations you are an excellent teacher...now jamie is ready to make a safety landing in case of something happen....cool.
Could you make a video and explain the IAS function specifically!!....please, thanks kevin and jamie for your videos...me and my son enjoyed it .
We get 30-60 gusty winds out here in Lubbock, Texas every week during the spring. 20-30kts is a normal day here. The air force comes here and does lots of crosswind landing practices.
Very good idea for Jaime to learn this, you never know, it could actually happen God forbid. ATC had me scared when he said winds gusting to 43, lol, time to head for another airport. Now Kevin how about talking Jaime into actually landing the plane, like you said you never know. It's one thing to know what to do but to actually perform the task is another. I'm really lovin all the additions you have made to the 310. You have one heck of a setup Kevin, thank you for the time you invest in making these video's.
You're very welcome for the videos. I'm just glad ya'll are enjoying them and thank you for the support. We will keep working on emergency procedures but I feel confident she can get her done if she is forced to. Hopefully that never happens. :)
@@310Pilot I agree with you, maybe someday she'll give it try just for the heck of it. Glad to see your channel doing great, it's one of the better ones on youtube. Thanks for your time Kevin.
Good looking lunch patio,... IF ya ever get to Grants Pass Oregon Airport and it is warm, get a ride to Galice and try a Burger at the restaurant next to the river........ look for it on You Tube, . ya might want to float the river and fish some Salmon too then fly the coast for the view. Just a thought and a very pleasant area.
Absolutely essential for any family to know and to practice. In flight emergency health issue may not happen often but they can and do on occasion. I would strongly encourage any pilot with a non pilot wife to at least practice the basics from time to time to keep the procedures fresh in their mind. You just might save a life or lives. Thanks for a great video of how it can be done. Of course planes not as well equipped might take a little more knowledge but that should be no factor in teaching wives or perhaps children the basics. Great Job.
Again a great video - love your autopilot. Be safe and waiting for the next video. 'Spin'.
So cool ! Clow airport is where my parents learned to fly back in the late 70’s and later bought an Grumman traveler then a Tiger. It has changed a lot down there. My uncle had a body shop at Clow back I gotta the day. I happen to notice the right fuel gauge bouncing a bit maybe normal but just something I noticed. You guys are great and love watching your videos. Wally Smith from Naperville 😉👍👍❤️🍀🍀
Howdy Wally from nearby! It's hard to believe they allowed them to build houses that close to the runway that has been there for that long. These old fuel gauges are notorious for acting like that. I have a digital fuel computer on my engine monitor that is very accurate. One of these days I plan to modernize my fuel gauges. :)
That is awesome! You should continue instructing her to be able to complete the landing and then do recurring training to maintain efficiency.
We will do the landing/flare sequence together a few more times. Hopefully she never needs it but if she does, she will be ready. :)
@@310Pilot God forbid she ever has to do it, but knowing she can will make both of you feel better about it.
Well done Jaime, remember practice makes perfect, its one thing to do it when everything is hypothetical, but iff it were for real things would be very different. Your a good man Kev.
Great job with your explanations Kevin, and great job with executing Jaime! Good idea having a cheat sheet too. You both looked very relaxed during the procedures too. Did you get her a visor with a mirror on it yet? She's certainly earned it now! :) Really enjoy your videos!
Great video thank you.Gusting to 43?? I was getting ready to rewind when you asked again for the wind lol
I love all your videos I love how you explained everything very slowly and how you fly the plane I’m starting my pilot training here in the next month ground school thank you you are making it very easy for me to understand what the controls do
great job, love how you guys worked together to learn how to put the plane on the ground...keep up the fun videos.
It's also worth looking at the AOPA Pinch Hitter course!
Clow ...Clow .. Clow ... it hasn't stopped yet ... 🤣
Amazing system there. That was pretty slick! Excellent job, Jamie!
What a great feature - that alone is well worth the price. Thanks Kevin & Jamie - great vid!👍👍
Nice job Jamie...hope we see you doing more with the STEC and maybe even more navigation with the auto pilot/fms. Breakfast looked inviting too! A little bit of grease just lubes yer innards n keeps 'em running smoooooth!
We'll keep her going with the new avionics. She's about to have her own IFD540 in front of her to use. :)
@@310Pilot I love it!
@@310Pilot Can't wait to see it!
Nice! The autopilot is impressive but Jaime picked it right up. It's cool you added a layer of protection for her. Good man.
Excellent video and idea ! I think Jaime has an excellent instructor and should learn to fly. She would be a great pilot too
I’ve been watching your videos long enough now that I say along, “70…80…90…Rotate….” 🙂 Great vid!
"tap the brakes" 🙂
@@johnwyoder gear's coming up... pitch for blue-line! :)
Hooked on you guys adventures.
Seem like friends I’d like to have a beer with.
and don't forget the " Ya-damper
Ditto
Excellent explanation Kevin---u would make a good instructor. Jaime you did well with the GPS and A/P programming. Enjoyed the video you guys and thanks from Cajun Country---GOoo Tigers!!!!
Nice work and good on Jaime for taking the time to learn the new system.
Kevin, I didn't know I missed this video.. shame on me..but it was great... and Jaime was a great "pilot'.. plus she looked great too.. (but you knew that).. Keep up the good work both of you.. at 68 I doubt I'll see my license but I'll still fly places, with you guys, vicariously.
Thanks for the nice comment Don and glad you enjoyed it!!
Kevin, been watching several of your flights with Jamie and even with kids.
I was fooled, I thought that Jamie was licensed, with the way she talks so smooth with ATC & GC.
I'm hooked on your videos. Thanks for taking me/us to places I/we may never get to see otherwise.
Word is that they're both ATCs.
@@roytee3127 They are both ATCs, with Chicago TRACON (the same people they always talk to when leaving/returning to their airport).
Top notch Jamie, you knocked it out of the park.
Awesome, Jaime did great, stayed cool. Knowing what to do prior to a situation avoids panic. Thanks for the video.
You both are awesome ... thank you so much for all your detailed commentary.
Excellent! I know you know this, but... I hope you'll practice this as often as you can, because if something like this ever happens, stress will be a LOT higher. Congratulations on being such a great team, both on the ground and in the air. By the way, the plane looks great... Nice to always see a clean, shiny 310!
Great training video. Good to be prepared for an emergency.
