This video shows you an "old school" procedure turn full ILS approach at Cambridge EGSC, UK. ATC is recorded. Your comments and suggestions are highly appreciated.
I could have saved a lot of money in my ifr training if I had watched some of your videos.. You make it look so uncomplicated. Thanks for the great videos.
You are most welcome. Flying is indeed much less complicated than a lot of people think. It is however, a never ending learning process. Happy Landings in 2015, Guido
Awesome, as always! I've seen a lot of flying videos on youtube and the annotations of what's going on have completely revolutionized my experience. So much better than just straight video. And seeing the plate was really cool. Thanks again, Guido, and please keep them coming!
Thank you for you kind words. These videos are "work in progress" and I try to make them better for the audience all the time. Thanks for your feedback & happy landings, Guido
Guido Warnecke a common household 'phrase' Guido, to mean 'one slick operator'. understood and to be taken as high praise. 'cool cucumber'. get it? thoroughly enjoy your videos. :)
Awesome instructional demonstration Guido. From one ATPL to another, you have my utmost respect for what you give back to those interested in what we do. Fly safe my friend.
Guido, I love to hear you talk on the radio. You are so experienced and calm I would love to fly with you in the navigator's seat if there is one. Got a short hop in a Falcon years ago and loved it. I love it when I can touch the pilot when flying.
This is a great video lesson! I agree with Marcelo Delima, it must be a very good experience to have you as the flight instructor, you always seem so dedicated and patient, the best way for a student to learn and keep motivation up. Thank you for the time you take to record, edit and explain, and for the comment replies!
Great video great crew great skills, please keep such as these videos coming they are educational and helpful thank you for sharing your experience sir
Nice to see EGSC again. I learned to fly there! Never quite got my PPL (financial difficulties!) but I had a good time trying there. Great video as always!
Thanks so much for sharing this stuff Guido! I've been distracted from my IFR training this summer enjoying the heck out of tail wheel flying, but this sort of video really helps get me back into the IFR zone :)
Guido Warnecke Haha - thanks Guido - not sure there is such a thing as an IFR Super Cub :P The one I am flying doesn't even have many VFR instruments :P If you're gonna be at ZBA any time, and you're intereted in a ride in the Super Cub, I'd be honoured to take you :)
Margaret Leber That's cool! I'm new to both IFR and Tail Wheel flying... I can't imagine trying to manage the various IFR tasks such as briefing an approach plate while also trying to hand fly a plane like the Super Cub!
Well, they said they were equipped...I can't imagine it's something they do a lot of. I would think that approach speed of a Super Cub could occupy an approach for rather a long time.
Interesting as always Guido ..of special interest to me as I did my solo cross country into Cambridge when completing my PPL …quite a few years ago now !
Thank you very much, Ian. We actually fly this all on the FMS/GPS and switch to the ILS localizer only once established on the final appraoch course. Happy Landings, Guido
Great video, as always! The videos of the NY, and the Connecticut area,show places familiar to me. I used to fly a Cherokee out of Republic Airport, on Long Island. A little slower airplane than what you fly! Thanks again for the videos.
Thank you! In the rare cases we fly a NDB approach it is an overlay with the GPS. I am sure I would struggle to fly a "raw data" NDB approach. Happy Landinfs in 2015, Guido
Thank you for linking this video in my last comment your videos are amazing am watching them all and I had to sub to your channel keep up the good work Captain.
I watch your videos at night when I have the time and all is asleep she is 1 of 5 children I have no more now I have contributed to the world population thank you for the reply hope to seeing more of your amazing videos online if you have plans for more in the upcoming
Honestly some of the best videos on TH-cam. Thank you for the time to make these, I enjoy each one you upload. I fear these may push me into my PPL at some stage : )
Guido your videos are amazing! Any time I see that you have a new video uploaded, I make it a point to watch it. Not only are they informative but they are also entertaining! I am a private pilot currently and actually start training at ATP flight school on the 22nd. I hope to be flying for an airline in a few years! Keep it up though. Your videos are something I find inspiring.
Another cool video. Thank you! Last night I was on short final without landing clearance and gently reminded the tower (who were giving a couple of other planes taxi instructions) of that fact. :-)
I'm a bit proponent of handflying approaches, I use autopilot enroute but even with a quick disengage switch (which the planes I fly don't have) I shut off the A/P when flying the approach. One less thing to do during a busy time. It's pretty countryside in Cambridgeshire - lots of farmland and trees. Thanks Guido!
Hi Robert, you have a good point here. In a jet, however, it is advisable to use all automation available and focus on monitoring the approach. I do hand fly also quite a bit to stat current. On this specific flight we had to test an autopilot function. so we did not have a choice. Happy Landings, Guido
Based on all the videos I've seen, you guys really seem like a great company to work for ! You'd definitely be on my wish list if I was in the market for a pilot job ! But that won't come for quite a while.
Thank you for the many helpful instructional videos and in-flight footages, Guido! I will start my ATPL course in a couple of months. So far I have been enjoying some preparation for the real deal on your channel ;-) Keep up the good work and have many safe landings, Jay
Love the new resolution. What is "in case of trim runway" mean? Also, thanks for the charts being put up, very helpful for visual when flipping back to the video, adds a lot.
Thank you! The autopilot also controls the electric pitch trim. In a technical malfunction (this has happened) the trim could "run away" meaning pitching the plane up or down uncommanded. Especially a pitch down is obviously dangerous. For this reason, we have minimum altitudes where we are allowed to engage the autopilot. This is to give the pilot time to react in case of a trim runaway. On the yoke, we have a "BRB" big red button to disengage the autopilot. This is why I emphasis to have the thumb close to this button at low altitude with the autopilot engaged. happy Landings, Guido
Hi Guido Ty for sharing .I have a question how do you record video with ATC audio? what equipment do you use? i wanna film like that one of my flights so i can show my mom how is done ty .
Nice video as usual....you have got to fly into EGTR (Elstree) not in a Citation though....rwy too short....but hey it's like landing on an aircraft carrier!!!!! Am learning to fly in a PA38....the old Tomahawk!!!!! NASA developed the wings and only 2,500 of these little planes were ever built.....me thinks a collectors plane? Anyway Happy Flying also and Safe Flying.
Hi Guido! Amazing videos as per usual. Just a heads up though, in the uk when the controller asks you to report something or somewhere we use WILCO. I'm guessing in the US it's different! Anyways keep the good videos coming! Thanks Gianluca
Thank you very much, Gianluca! In the US we use the same. Wilco = I have understood and will comply with. Certain instructions, e.g. hold short, line up and wait, assigned heading/altitude have to be specifically read back by the pilot. Happy Landings, Guido
Hi Guido. Thanks again for the great videos. Was this a training flight for Amir? If so, just curious about not using a view limiting device... Thanks again for all your hard work putting these videos together and I wish the best for you whereever in the world you happen to be today!!! :)
Thank you very much, Greg. in advanced flight training you go more and more away form a "hood". It does not really make a difference. Thanks for your kind words. Happy Landings, Guido
Thank you! The missed approach point on an ILS is the DH decision height, in this case 200ft above the terrain. You either see the runway or approach lights (aircraft safe to land) or you go around. You may descent below the DH for a short wile until the engines spool up. trying to fly an approach lower than the published minimums is a killer and has resulted in many (mostly fatal) accident. happy landings, Guido
Thank you! I am working on a solution to synchronize the shutter speed with the screen refreshing frequency of the instruments. Have not found a good solution. Happy landings, Guido
Very nice video Guido! You've got landing clearance just 12 secs prior to minimums, but, in case the ATC was so busy and had forgotten the authorization in time, you would have performed a go-around right while in good visibility, right?
Thank you! Without landing clearance you fly the approach to the published minimums ad initiate a go around (unless in an emergency). Of course you can abort the approach anytime if its unsafe (wind shear, unstable approach etc). There was a helicopter in the way, this was the reason for the delayed clearance. Happy Landings, Guido
Thank you, Carlos.In this case the beacon is an NDB. You might be able to see this on the approach plate. Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings, Guido
It's kind of a wonder that there are no dislikes. Bei 4390 Views schon sehr cool... halt nur Luftfahrinteressierte. Btw, what about creating a Transcript for the ATC, sometimes i want to understand it, but i cant .
You have a good point here. Typically it is not a bad thing to use the automation. Normally, we would have hand flown to stay current. On this flight we had to test an autopilot function, so the autopilot use was mandatory. Happy landings, Guido
Enjoyed the video, is the gear down at one dot up a common practice in all aircraft or just the jets? I am just finally doing transition training into complex in an Arrow 2 and haven't gotten as far as doing approaches. Just curious, since I usually try and be landing configured (which I guess you are doing) before FAF.
Hi Scot, I cannot make a firm statement here. The logic is as follows: you approach the glide slope intercept at level flight, from the GS intercept you start to descent. You can now either add drag (gear, flaps) or reduce the power to maintain airspeed. In order to fly a stabilized approach, I would suggest to add drag (flaps, gear) in a way that you reach the FAF in full landing configuration, with the gear down and checklist completed. This might be different from airplane to airplane. On high density airports, this might be delayed a bit. Discuss with you flight instructor what is the best way in an Arrow 2. It is always good practice to be a bit conservative at the beginning until you know the aircraft and its energy management well. All the best for your transition training & happy landings, Guido
In jets you reduce thrust to idle (flight idle) in the flare. In a turboprop you often leave some power on. Jets float a lot and need more runway if you do not reduce the power to flight idle in the flare. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Hi Guido, why turn the landing light off when the gear comes up if you will be staying in the pattern so to say? Thanks for posting your videos, I love watching and learning. We have an office in Cambridge, kind of cool to see that area from above.
In the Citation V, the landing lights are mounted to the landing gear. So if the gear is up, they are not of much use. We have other lights in the wing which we leave on at lower altitudes for traffic avoidance. Here some photos of another Citation V I have flown in USA, you see the landing lights on the main gear on one of the photos: flightaware.com/photos/aircraft/N365EA Happy Landings, Guido
Hi Guido, Recent IFR pilot here. Bit hard to tell from the video but this seems different than the procedure turn I've practiced her in the US (i.e. fly localizer backcourse on loc then turn outbound 1-2 minutes and back inbound). Is the difference EU thing or a higher approach speed aircraft thing. Love your videos!
Hi Jerome, there are some differences but nothing major. One exception: Canada and the USA are the only countries allowing LLZ back course approaches. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Guido, in this scenario what are your procedures and what minimum decisions, if the frequency chatter was so much you couldn't call in for that forgotten landing clearance close to threshold? Obvious would be a go-around? ?
Hi Thomas, the Vref (crossing the threshold) was around 100 KIAS, approach speed 15 knots or so higher. You may fly faster but your speed HAS TO BE as Vref when you cross the threshold. 10 knots faster and you need 1,000ft (!) more runway. A lot of landing accidents, especially on small jets without thrust reversers are caused by excessive speed. Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings, Guido Vref is a speed 30% above the stall speed for a specific landing weight.
One more great video, Guido! Thanks for sharing! When you load something into the FMS it crossfills to the Garmin GPS? (So you use it as a navigation display) Also, what's the approach category of the Citation? Happy landings!
Hi guido Great video !!. I really want to be a pilot but i am still quite young (16) . I really Admire the way you respond to almost every comment (even the ones that come from arrogant people) I would really like to ask you some questions. If some of them seem a little personal, i understand , don't fell obliged to answer. (1)You said you have flown into over 700 different airports, is it difficult to find jobs for small multi engine planes like the king air or the citation. (2) My dream is to work for air Canada but i see you have never moved up to the big airliners which i am guessing is by choice considering your experience, talent and your hours. is it because you find that in the big jumbos "you don't really fly" it is the computer that does it? (3) Is it relatively easy to provide for a family and kids and get to see them a lot if you are working with an airline or small planes like you. because i really want a family as well and one i can see often. (4) And also i understand that you might have to be a bush pilot for a while , would you say that being a pilot is a dangerous path to take? Thank you for sharing on youtube , i hope one day to be in the same position as you. Nathan:)
Hi Nathan, thanks for your comment. These videos are primarily for people like you: the next generation of aviators! It would make me happy if these videos help to spark the passion for aviation in you. (1).It is difficult to find the fist job. Everybody wants experienced pilots with a lot of hours but nobody hires young pilots to be able to build up these hours. So be prepared to find some challenges. It will work out and after 1,000h or so it all looks better. (2) Airlines: your life in the airlines is better than in the charter industry, especially if you work for a flag carrier like Air Canada. But the flying in charter industry os more interesting. The reason I flew to 700 airports is because the small airplanes go there. The airliners have 50 airports and that's it. (3) A pilot is in the service business. He/she works on Sundays, holidays and is away from home. this is part of the business and needs to be considered. (4) Bush pilot: this is often an entry level job for young pilots. I did my first PPL at CYXE at Mitchinsons. Good flight school. Best of luck for your flying career and happy landings, Guido
Sir; I wonder how you programmed the FMS after initial climb to 3,000 feet and turned right into CAM NDB and tracked 62° after passing CAM. Because this is an old school procedure I don't think there is a RNAV assigned for this particular approach.
Hi Erdinç, the approach is loaded from the GPS database in the FMS. Also normal Garmin GPS allow to load these approaches. The only thing we need to do is to control the altitude on the segments of the approach as our autopilot cannot fly VNAV profiles. Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings, Guido
What does the "Cat A/B/C/D" on the plate mean? I'm an American, so I'm used to seeing "Cat I/II/IIIa/IIIb/IIIc" designations for the different ILS approaches.
These categories refer to the approach speed of the aircraft. The higher the speed, the larger is the turning radius of the aircraft. In a fast aircraft things happen "faster', the pilot has less time to react, initiate a go around etc. This is why fast aircraft have more strict landing minimums, mostly the required visibility is greater. A below 90 knots B 90-120 knots C 120-140 knots D 140-160 knots Happy Landings, Guido
Guido Warnecke Oh, that's the same here in the USA -- I just didn't think of that because I was thinking "these different approaches must be for different minimums". Yes, that makes perfect sense -- the higher the speed, the wider the turn must be. Thanks!
Yes, I have actually flown out of Centennial airport. And - you guess it - there is a video: Denver Colorado - high altitude take off in a Citation V jet. Happy Landings, Guido
Hello Mr Warnecke, I noticed that departure cleared you to 3000. The approach plate min altitude was 2000 and that before you crossed CAM, you set altitude at 1700. Where did the 1700 come from and at what point did you descend from 3 to 17? Thanks in advance. Jeff B.
Hi Jeffrey, well spotted! We crossed the CAM at 3,000 and descended only on the outbound leg to 1,700. The altitude was only pre-selected, the aircrafty will do nothing before a descent is initiated. During in approach you always have to mentally 1 minute ahead of your aicraft and prepare as much as possible - without screwing things up... Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings, Guido
Jeffrey Bray Jeff, a lot of things have changes, some basics remained the same. The pilot is still the weakest link in the flight safety chain. Happy Landings, Guido
Hello Guido. I'm going to start working on my instrument rating training soon. I have some questions. I noticed that you reported 4 DME you then said 300 above minimums. Were you descending at that point? I noticed that it seemed like tower took a while to give you the clearance to land. Because you were shooting an ILS approach and on final what would happen if you were getting closer and closer to the runway? I know it's good to remind tower on your distance and all. But if you are descending getting closer and closer to the runway still without a clearance to land would you just establish a missed approach or a go around with vectors to establish you back onto the ILS? Unless tower vectors you early enough before.
biggestplanefan The "300 above" is a standard call out on an ILS. In clouds normally followed by "200" "100" "approaching minimums" "minimums. A landing clearance normally comes in early but does not have to. It can be cancelled at any time, e.g. an aircraft on the runway, spacing between the preceding aircraft too small etc. On an ILS you fly to the decision altitude and then make the decision: "landing" or "go around". In bad weather the clearance normally comes 3 to 5 NM out. Happy Landings, Guido
Guido I just wanted to thank you for sharing your videos! I'm an aspiring pilot. My ultimate goal is to work at the airlines but I would love to fly as a corporate pilot too. I already have around 30 hrs in the Cessna 172. It's already been 2 years since I've started flying. I'm only 14 years old so I have plenty of time to work up my hours. I was wondering how you started flying as a corporate pilot? Did you know people that connected you? I would love to fly the Citation or King Air 200. Also I would like to know the route you took In order to become a pilot. I have a couple of universities that I would like to go to but I would like to hear the story of a pilot named Guido Warnecke :) Keep up the great work and hopefully I'll see you in the skies someday!
The rudders and ailerons are connected by a cable. This facilitates turns while flying, no rudders needs to be used. Google: "adverse yaw". On the ground, we steer the nose wheel with the rudder pedals, not visible in the video. So every time we push the rudder pedal, the yoke "magically" moves by itself. Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings, Guido
mikeallenbrown1 You are welcome. This connecting cable seems to be a "Cessna" thing, you find it in the C206 and C210 too. I fly larger aircraft too (Gulfstream). Here the steering is done with a steering wheel (tiller). Happy Landings, Guido
I am getting the urge to get back on the flight sim. I enjoyed studying these approaches, if you don't use it you lose it. Thanks Guido.

Both sorts of lying are a lot of fun.
May be should look into a IFR equipped Piper Cub...
Happy landings,

Guido Warnecke Haha - thanks Guido - not sure there is such a thing as an IFR Super Cub :P
The one I am flying doesn't even have many VFR instruments :P
If you're gonna be at ZBA any time, and you're intereted in a ride in the Super Cub, I'd be honoured to take you :)
Several folks at www.supercub.org/ claim their rides are IFR-equipped.
Margaret Leber That's cool! I'm new to both IFR and Tail Wheel flying...
I can't imagine trying to manage the various IFR tasks such as briefing an approach plate while also trying to hand fly a plane like the Super Cub!
Well, they said they were equipped...I can't imagine it's something they do a lot of. I would think that approach speed of a Super Cub could occupy an approach for rather a long time.

Hi Robert,
you have a good point here.
In a jet, however, it is advisable to use all automation available and focus on monitoring the approach.
I do hand fly also quite a bit to stat current.
On this specific flight we had to test an autopilot function. so we did not have a choice.

Thank you Steve.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Really nice!
Thank you very much, Stephen!

Love the new resolution. What is "in case of trim runway" mean? Also, thanks for the charts being put up, very helpful for visual when flipping back to the video, adds a lot.
Thank you!
The autopilot also controls the electric pitch trim. In a technical malfunction (this has happened) the trim could "run away" meaning pitching the plane up or down uncommanded. Especially a pitch down is obviously dangerous. For this reason, we have minimum altitudes where we are allowed to engage the autopilot. This is to give the pilot time to react in case of a trim runaway.
On the yoke, we have a "BRB" big red button to disengage the autopilot.
This is why I emphasis to have the thumb close to this button at low altitude with the autopilot engaged.

Hi Guido Ty for sharing .I have a question how do you record video with ATC audio? what equipment do you use? i wanna film like that one of my flights so i can show my mom how is done ty .
Very informative as always, Guido. It's nice to hear some English accents! Cambridge looks like a beautiful spot to fly in/out of.
Dominic
Thank you Dominic.
I apologize for thee late reply :-)
Happy landings,
Capt. Guido
Good Video
Thank you Byron.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
enjoyed your other videos, after watching you fly the citation and watching the king air video the king air seems like a Cessna in comparison
Thank you very much, Fred!
Happy Landings
Guido
very nice
Thank you!

Capt. Guido
Nice video as usual....you have got to fly into EGTR (Elstree) not in a Citation though....rwy too short....but hey it's like landing on an aircraft carrier!!!!! Am learning to fly in a PA38....the old Tomahawk!!!!! NASA developed the wings and only 2,500 of these little planes were ever built.....me thinks a collectors plane? Anyway Happy Flying also and Safe Flying.
Thank you Richard.
Happy Landings,

Hi Guido!
Amazing videos as per usual. Just a heads up though, in the uk when the controller asks you to report something or somewhere we use WILCO.
I'm guessing in the US it's different! Anyways keep the good videos coming!
Thanks
Gianluca
Thank you very much, Gianluca!
In the US we use the same. Wilco = I have understood and will comply with.
Certain instructions, e.g. hold short, line up and wait, assigned heading/altitude have to be specifically read back by the pilot.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Hi Guido. Thanks again for the great videos. Was this a training flight for Amir? If so, just curious about not using a view limiting device... Thanks again for all your hard work putting these videos together and I wish the best for you whereever in the world you happen to be today!!! :)
Thank you very much, Greg.
in advanced flight training you go more and more away form a "hood".
It does not really make a difference.
Thanks for your kind words.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Guido thanks for a wonderful "tuition" video on ILS approach.
In the situation you guys faced where would have been your go-around call?
Thank you!
The missed approach point on an ILS is the DH decision height, in this case 200ft above the terrain.
You either see the runway or approach lights (aircraft safe to land) or you go around. You may descent below the DH for a short wile until the engines spool up.
trying to fly an approach lower than the published minimums is a killer and has resulted in many (mostly fatal) accident.
happy landings,
Guido
Lovely jubbly =)
Great video as always, skipper!
Made me chuckle at 3:02 - were u going to say N365EA ? :)
Exactly!
It is not easy to get the "N" out of the call sign.
Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings,
Guido
A great video again. Thanks a lot.
Is it possible to set the camera to a longer shutter time to capture the electronic instrument displays?
Thank you!
I am working on a solution to synchronize the shutter speed with the screen refreshing frequency of the instruments.
Have not found a good solution.
Happy landings,
Guido
Very nice video Guido! You've got landing clearance just 12 secs prior to minimums, but, in case the ATC was so busy and had forgotten the authorization in time, you would have performed a go-around right while in good visibility, right?
Thank you!
Without landing clearance you fly the approach to the published minimums ad initiate a go around (unless in an emergency). Of course you can abort the approach anytime if its unsafe (wind shear, unstable approach etc).
There was a helicopter in the way, this was the reason for the delayed clearance.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Guido, very nice video. Are you a flight instructor?
I to training and mentoring based on my ATPL.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Hey guido once again great video. By beacon, do you mean VOR? Just have that question:).
Thank you, Carlos.In this case the beacon is an NDB. You might be able to see this on the approach plate.
Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings,
Guido
Awesome video. Just got my IR. Working on my commercial and multi and cfi. We're you ever a cfi? Or did you build hours some other way?
Thank you Alvin.
No, i never did my CFI.
Happy Landings,
Guido
It's kind of a wonder that there are no dislikes.
Bei 4390 Views schon sehr cool... halt nur Luftfahrinteressierte.
Btw, what about creating a Transcript for the ATC, sometimes i want to understand it,
but i cant .
Thank you!
Good idea with the transcript.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Nice
Thank you very much, Gabriel.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Hi Guido. Great video as usual.
Just one question. Why not to train to hand fly the entire approach ?
You have a good point here.
Typically it is not a bad thing to use the automation.
Normally, we would have hand flown to stay current.
On this flight we had to test an autopilot function, so the autopilot use was mandatory.
Happy landings,
Guido
Great stuff! Do you fly with passengers? Or just the 2 pilots?
Thank you ben.
This was a ferry flight without passengers on board.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Enjoyed the video, is the gear down at one dot up a common practice in all aircraft or just the jets? I am just finally doing transition training into complex in an Arrow 2 and haven't gotten as far as doing approaches. Just curious, since I usually try and be landing configured (which I guess you are doing) before FAF.
Hi Scot,
I cannot make a firm statement here.
The logic is as follows: you approach the glide slope intercept at level flight, from the GS intercept you start to descent. You can now either add drag (gear, flaps) or reduce the power to maintain airspeed. In order to fly a stabilized approach, I would suggest to add drag (flaps, gear) in a way that you reach the FAF in full landing configuration, with the gear down and checklist completed. This might be different from airplane to airplane.
On high density airports, this might be delayed a bit.
Discuss with you flight instructor what is the best way in an Arrow 2. It is always good practice to be a bit conservative at the beginning until you know the aircraft and its energy management well.
All the best for your transition training & happy landings,
Guido
Great video as always, I have a question... why don't you set idle thrust in the flare?
In jets you reduce thrust to idle (flight idle) in the flare.
In a turboprop you often leave some power on.
Jets float a lot and need more runway if you do not reduce the power to flight idle in the flare.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Hi Guido, why turn the landing light off when the gear comes up if you will be staying in the pattern so to say? Thanks for posting your videos, I love watching and learning. We have an office in Cambridge, kind of cool to see that area from above.
In the Citation V, the landing lights are mounted to the landing gear. So if the gear is up, they are not of much use. We have other lights in the wing which we leave on at lower altitudes for traffic avoidance.
Here some photos of another Citation V I have flown in USA, you see the landing lights on the main gear on one of the photos:
flightaware.com/photos/aircraft/N365EA
Happy Landings,
Guido
Guido Warnecke Ahh, well that makes sense then, thanks for clarifying that for me.
Hi Guido,
Recent IFR pilot here. Bit hard to tell from the video but this seems different than the procedure turn I've practiced her in the US (i.e. fly localizer backcourse on loc then turn outbound 1-2 minutes and back inbound). Is the difference EU thing or a higher approach speed aircraft thing. Love your videos!
Hi Jerome,
there are some differences but nothing major.
One exception: Canada and the USA are the only countries allowing LLZ back course approaches.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Guido, in this scenario what are your procedures and what minimum decisions, if the frequency chatter was so much you couldn't call in for that forgotten landing clearance close to threshold? Obvious would be a go-around? ?
No landing clearance - no landing, except in an emergency.
Happy Landings,
Guido
couldnt quite make out airspeed during the final. looked to be in the 90's kts?
Hi Thomas,
the Vref (crossing the threshold) was around 100 KIAS, approach speed 15 knots or so higher.
You may fly faster but your speed HAS TO BE as Vref when you cross the threshold.
10 knots faster and you need 1,000ft (!) more runway.
A lot of landing accidents, especially on small jets without thrust reversers are caused by excessive speed.
Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings,
Guido
Vref is a speed 30% above the stall speed for a specific landing weight.
One more great video, Guido! Thanks for sharing!
When you load something into the FMS it crossfills to the Garmin GPS? (So you use it as a navigation display)
Also, what's the approach category of the Citation?
Happy landings!
Hi Bernardo,
yes the 2 GPS cross fill.
With approach speeds around 105 knots, the C560 fall into the B category.
Happy Landings,
Capt. Guido
Hi guido Great video !!. I really want to be a pilot but i am still quite young (16) . I really Admire the way you respond to almost every comment (even the ones that come from arrogant people) I would really like to ask you some questions. If some of them seem a little personal, i understand , don't fell obliged to answer. (1)You said you have flown into over 700 different airports, is it difficult to find jobs for small multi engine planes like the king air or the citation. (2) My dream is to work for air Canada but i see you have never moved up to the big airliners which i am guessing is by choice considering your experience, talent and your hours. is it because you find that in the big jumbos "you don't really fly" it is the computer that does it? (3) Is it relatively easy to provide for a family and kids and get to see them a lot if you are working with an airline or small planes like you. because i really want a family as well and one i can see often. (4) And also i understand that you might have to be a bush pilot for a while , would you say that being a pilot is a dangerous path to take? Thank you for sharing on youtube , i hope one day to be in the same position as you.
Nathan:)
Hi Nathan,
thanks for your comment. These videos are primarily for people like you: the next generation of aviators! It would make me happy if these videos help to spark the passion for aviation in you.
(1).It is difficult to find the fist job. Everybody wants experienced pilots with a lot of hours but nobody hires young pilots to be able to build up these hours. So be prepared to find some challenges. It will work out and after 1,000h or so it all looks better.
(2) Airlines: your life in the airlines is better than in the charter industry, especially if you work for a flag carrier like Air Canada. But the flying in charter industry os more interesting. The reason I flew to 700 airports is because the small airplanes go there. The airliners have 50 airports and that's it.
(3) A pilot is in the service business. He/she works on Sundays, holidays and is away from home. this is part of the business and needs to be considered.
(4) Bush pilot: this is often an entry level job for young pilots.
I did my first PPL at CYXE at Mitchinsons. Good flight school.
Best of luck for your flying career and happy landings,
Guido
Sir; I wonder how you programmed the FMS after initial climb to 3,000 feet and turned right into CAM NDB and tracked 62° after passing CAM. Because this is an old school procedure I don't think there is a RNAV assigned for this particular approach.
Hi Erdinç,
the approach is loaded from the GPS database in the FMS.
Also normal Garmin GPS allow to load these approaches. The only thing we need to do is to control the altitude on the segments of the approach as our autopilot cannot fly VNAV profiles.
Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings,
Guido
Guido Warnecke Thank you...
Are you flying mostly in Europe now. Paul McBride
I fly between Middle East, Europe and the USA.
Happy Landings,
Guido
What does the "Cat A/B/C/D" on the plate mean? I'm an American, so I'm used to seeing "Cat I/II/IIIa/IIIb/IIIc" designations for the different ILS approaches.
These categories refer to the approach speed of the aircraft. The higher the speed, the larger is the turning radius of the aircraft. In a fast aircraft things happen "faster', the pilot has less time to react, initiate a go around etc.
This is why fast aircraft have more strict landing minimums, mostly the required visibility is greater.
A below 90 knots
B 90-120 knots
C 120-140 knots
D 140-160 knots
Happy Landings,
Guido
Guido Warnecke Oh, that's the same here in the USA -- I just didn't think of that because I was thinking "these different approaches must be for different minimums". Yes, that makes perfect sense -- the higher the speed, the wider the turn must be. Thanks!
Have you ever flown to Denver Centennial airport. It is super busy but great fun.
also i love how you explain whats going on.
pilottroll (official) Thank you!
I do the explanations to make the videos interesting for all pilots.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Yes, I have actually flown out of Centennial airport.
And - you guess it - there is a video:
Denver Colorado - high altitude take off in a Citation V jet.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Guido Warnecke thanks for sharing cheers
Hello Mr Warnecke, I noticed that departure cleared you to 3000. The approach plate min altitude was 2000 and that before you crossed CAM, you set altitude at 1700. Where did the 1700 come from and at what point did you descend from 3 to 17? Thanks in advance. Jeff B.
Hi Jeffrey,
well spotted!
We crossed the CAM at 3,000 and descended only on the outbound leg to 1,700.
The altitude was only pre-selected, the aircrafty will do nothing before a descent is initiated.
During in approach you always have to mentally 1 minute ahead of your aicraft and prepare as much as possible - without screwing things up...
Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings,
Guido
Guido Warnecke I stopped flying in the mid 80's. All my experience was analog. Things sure have changed!
Jeffrey Bray Jeff,
a lot of things have changes, some basics remained the same.
The pilot is still the weakest link in the flight safety chain.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Hello Guido. I'm going to start working on my instrument rating training soon. I have some questions. I noticed that you reported 4 DME you then said 300 above minimums. Were you descending at that point? I noticed that it seemed like tower took a while to give you the clearance to land. Because you were shooting an ILS approach and on final what would happen if you were getting closer and closer to the runway? I know it's good to remind tower on your distance and all. But if you are descending getting closer and closer to the runway still without a clearance to land would you just establish a missed approach or a go around with vectors to establish you back onto the ILS? Unless tower vectors you early enough before.
biggestplanefan The "300 above" is a standard call out on an ILS. In clouds normally followed by "200" "100" "approaching minimums" "minimums.
A landing clearance normally comes in early but does not have to.
It can be cancelled at any time, e.g. an aircraft on the runway, spacing between the preceding aircraft too small etc.
On an ILS you fly to the decision altitude and then make the decision: "landing" or "go around".
In bad weather the clearance normally comes 3 to 5 NM out.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Guido Warnecke Thank You very much!
Hi u are you? i've a question how do you do for conect your camera with the radio? beacuse i want use my camera for record my flight...
HI Mauricio,
the audio cable gets the signal from the headset socket in the aircraft.
HAappy Landings,

No more videos? :(
Hi Marco,
more videos are in the works.
i was very busy over the last weeks.
Happy Landings,

Guido I just wanted to thank you for sharing your videos! I'm an aspiring pilot. My ultimate goal is to work at the airlines but I would love to fly as a corporate pilot too. I already have around 30 hrs in the Cessna 172. It's already been 2 years since I've started flying. I'm only 14 years old so I have plenty of time to work up my hours. I was wondering how you started flying as a corporate pilot? Did you know people that connected you? I would love to fly the Citation or King Air 200. Also I would like to know the route you took In order to become a pilot. I have a couple of universities that I would like to go to but I would like to hear the story of a pilot named Guido Warnecke :) Keep up the great work and hopefully I'll see you in the skies someday!
The yoke moves along with the rudder in this plane??
The rudders and ailerons are connected by a cable. This facilitates turns while flying, no rudders needs to be used. Google: "adverse yaw".
On the ground, we steer the nose wheel with the rudder pedals, not visible in the video. So every time we push the rudder pedal, the yoke "magically" moves by itself.
Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings,
Guido
mikeallenbrown1 You are welcome.
This connecting cable seems to be a "Cessna" thing, you find it in the C206 and C210 too.
I fly larger aircraft too (Gulfstream). Here the steering is done with a steering wheel (tiller).
Happy Landings,
Guido
how did you become a pilot
Long story...but in essence like everybody else.
Get you PPL, study a lot and moce on to bigger airplanes...
Happy Landings,
Guido
You are instructor?
Hi Derwin,
I do advanced intruction / metoring based on my ATP license.
Happy Landings,

Guido,
Good afternoon, what's your favorite aviation headset?
Thanks,
Rocco
Hi Rocco,
I have a Bose A20 with Bluetooth and I am very happy with it.
Happy Landings,
Guido
Oh and no GPS.
Actually we fly this approach on a certifies GPS.
Only on the final approach we switch to the ILS.
Happy Landings,
