I am having some problems with the TBM850. Join me on the adventure of getting it fixed. If you want to support & help me make my videos click here! There are some very cool benefits! ;) / steveo1kinevo
Steve, I'm a 69 year old pilot flying since 1965, and about to call it quits and sad about that. I'm happy however to be able to fly vicariously through your wonderful videos. Keep up the good work! God bless you!
Love your videos Steve, keep them coming. I have never gotten the chance to live out my dream of being a pilot, but live through people like you and enjoy flying along. Safe flying!!
+FlightChops I remember the video of you flying a lady with a flying phobia. You were doomed with her no matter what you did she didn't try that hard in my opinion. My guess the cure for her lies in counseling therapy, but who says every one has to fly ?
Hi Steveo I just want to say that your videos are so cool and full of information and style! I have some unusual request. Can you please set in one of your long taxi or takeoff or landings one camera on the pedals. I would really want to see what is the correct way to work on the pedals. If you can show it in a split screen together with front view it would be great. Thanks a lot.
Found your videos on accident. Always had a love for aviation myself. Even led to my Army tour. Of course, they "omitted" the fact that I needed to be stationed near an Embry Riddle school...sadly I wasn't being an M1 Crewman. So, my desire to fly will never come to pass due to my disability payments being what they are. However, I can at least watch some of yours. Keep on flying man.
$2300 is allot cheaper then a possible gear up landing. I am sure that you can think of a few approaches that you have done where a manual gear extension would have added a certain pucker factor and would have been that nagging thought in the back of you mind with each flight. I enjoyed the video and your chat with us, looking forward to your next installment.
Bet Flying wasn't as much after the bill! :D I assume you own a CPL right? And man i just have a thing for the F7/800GS. Keep it up because you'll for sure have me sticking around
Man! You got the greatest job ever. You get to see the beautiful scenery of the tropics! I wish I could look out the window and see clear blue water and get paid to go there .. Keep the videos coming.
I just started watching your videos and they are great! I am just completing my commercial at FXE, and it is great to see others flying into familiar airports.
Interesting video. That was a short flight indeed. Yes, airplane repairs are expensive, we have a very little Socata (M.S. 880) and the exhaust alone is nearly € 1000, plus hours. So $2500 for 7 hours plus electronics doesn't seem so bad.
Dear Steve-O thanks for this video OPF-HWO, whilst your other experiences are more enticing and mouth-watering, this particular one, inevitably brought back memories of my first solo flight back in DEC,1997. We flew in a 152 from Opa-Locka to N.Perry with my unparalleled instructor Barbara Tressler, did a couple of touch & go's, she then told me make a full stop at the end of the RWY, chatted with the tower, unbuckled, opened the door and got off ! , "OK Mike time for your 1st solo, do two patterns and pick me up, pleeeease don't let me down" (she was more worried and somewhat more apprehensive than I was), the flights were uneventful, a major turning point had just occurred, you had finally crossed the barrier, B747 here I come ..., One thing I did learn after that experience, was that all of sudden you start to memorize all the emergency procedures by heart. Do keep up the magnificent work, stay true to the way you present and narrate your experiences, I assure you it ignites the dreams of many. safe flights MC
I am soooo jealous. It jus showss me that I should have gone for my PPL over here in UK when I could. Blast. Flying over the fins stadium, lovely. Absolutely love your videos. Thanks.
you say the stall warning sounds too early, but keep in mind you are in ground effect. Just keep holding it off, as the speed deteriorates the wheels will touch with a nice squeak, instead of a plopgunk.
How many times have I HWO to FXE to OPF back to North Perry? How many hours have I spent at North Perry airport. Oh Steve, thanks for the pleasurable flashbacks!
Please don’t ever forget your shoulder harness or seat belt (?) again. Hope you had that clipped. I know, a busy old vid, distracted by the gear problem. Been there!
KHWO - North Perry. My home base. 2014 GA Airport of the Year. North Perry was a Navy training base during WWII. A portion of the original wagon wheel runway system is still there. Should be put on the National Historic Site list. There is a local politician that wants to close the airport and build houses on it. May need your followers to fight City Hall if and when the time comes.
Great video man, its awesome how u reply to peoples comments too.. you could become quite successful in you-tube. great video BTW, you made those 16 minutes quite entertaining.
Well a $2360 bill is not as bad as a much bigger bill to fix the TBM after a belly landing. I’d love to tell you about the same Mooney pilot who landed not once but twice at KSFM when I worked there. Both times the same pilot FORGOT to lower his landing gear! Oops! That cost him a ton of money. BTW I love all your videos. Will The former sr lineman from Sanford Air
Always remember what your flight instructors told you: "There is always something broken with every airplane. Your job as pilot is to figure out what it is."
ahhhh. Should have watched till the end before commenting. Its like the specialist wont come to you. Bring it to the shop and we'll see if we have time to fleece you.!
OK, big surprise - I got my 851TB fix today. I know it was a rerun because the plane is in for its annual for the VS models :) always practice safe flight, or you will be sorry. Old pilots and bold pilots stuff.
wow - so Steve o you're the owner of that airplane...so are you leased to a company sort of like owner operator truck drivers do? do a vid about your operations - what is your company name - how do you make your money - do you carry cargo as well as passengers - how do you generate revenue - did you buy this airplane new or used - I'm guessing your TBM with all it's cool features and avionics is valued somewhere north of 2m dollars - hangar, maintenance, fuel, insurance, fees for landing and taking off various airports and other incidentals I don't know about...annual expenses must be enormous.
Ouch! Guess the plane is out of warantee... Curious as to how the camera out on the left wing is mounted.. Suction cups sure aren't gonna hold the camera on the wing..
ouch, that's quite the bill for a control box. I just transported our 172 flight club's new propeller from the shipping company to the shop that was installing it, 5 grand propeller. Worth more than my car.
Yeah, even fixed-pitch props, which are basically just a hunk of aluminium alloy, are ridiculously expensive. Ours is still good, but I found that a new prop even for our measly O-200 is around $4000. *ouch*
+Mohammed Alobaidi it all depends on what you call..."big airplanes" you may be able to find some jobs flying larger airplanes but it's all relative to what rules the company falls under.
+steveo1kinevo oh ok Sorry I'm asking too much But the reason of it is because I want to become international airline pilot And I want to work for air Canada because I lives in Canada and my dream as I mentioned above And thank you so much for answering my question
Wow....nice bill 2g...Almost as bad as a car repair these days..lol...This might sound odd but ,how are you getting a picture from the tip of the wing toward the plane itself ? Is there a camera lens on the wing or is Reggie out there..ha? Steve you are a wizard of some kind for sure....😁.
+steveo1kinevo That's good to know. Working on a plan to be able to do what you and Steve on Flight Chops do to share the flying experience and to let others see the wonders of backcountry British Columbia. Thanks so much for all the great videos. I have really enjoyed following your journeys - you are a total natural at flying and YouTubing!
Love your videos, thanks for posting. Saw you took off with a non-VFR code in your transponder....but then it was fixed by the time you landed. A controller correct you or just noticed?
I've watched a lot of your videos, all great by the way, but I have to ask, how did you go from a veteran Coastie with a G.I. Bill about to expire, to ppl, to low paying pilot work, to owning a TBM 850??? Did I miss something in there? Keep the videos coming!
Steve, I'm new to your videos, I'm enjoying them. I haven't flown in years and years, not even sure if I can get my medical back, but I understand the allure of flying. However, this isn't about that. What I want to know is how you got the camera on the wing and kept it there! :p
$2360 for 7 hours of work, plus parts, seems cheap :-) I went to a small-town ER a month ago. Less than two hours of my time (less of theirs,) an x-ray and a couple of pills: $1160. I was still sick for a month. I am assuming the landing gear, the bracket and the other 'tweaks' all worked immediately. Health-care is nearly 20% of our entire GDP. We live in interesting times.
Wow, so that TBM was your own plane I take it. $3K to change a switch box. Ouch. What is the going rate for a pilot of your caliber? That would be like a 2.5 day thing for me.
hey :D thats the airport where i got my private...im a cfi living in ORL and love watching you land in airports i have been before :).... aviation is a small comunity jaja....one question how did you get this job?
Steve how you video yourself flying the TBM850 looking in from the put side and some times just inside the air plane? Do you have an external video camera also? Great video would love to become your friend and go flying wxith you.
Steve, I'm a 69 year old pilot flying since 1965, and about to call it quits and sad about that. I'm happy however to be able to fly vicariously through your wonderful videos. Keep up the good work! God bless you!
Very cool. Slick airplane.
Groundman giving the camera a thumbs up made my day.
Well sorry to un-make your day but it wasn't for the camera, that's to let the pilot know he's all clear. I doubt he even saw the camera.
Still looks like it was to the camera to me. His back was turned to the pilot. But we can agree to disagree. Cheers!
Why would he turn his back to let him know he's all clear??? definitely at cam.
Love your videos Steve, keep them coming. I have never gotten the chance to live out my dream of being a pilot, but live through people like you and enjoy flying along. Safe flying!!
Enjoyed joining you for this short hop.
Iv subscribed to you both. Great aviation content, loved your recent video with the turbo prop and also the warbird tail dragger training.
+FlightChops I remember the video of you flying a lady with a flying phobia. You were doomed with her no matter what you did she didn't try that hard in my opinion. My guess the cure for her lies in counseling therapy, but who says every one has to fly ?
Love when two fellow aviators unite

I love your flight videos. They are so informative while you are laid back, just diggin what you do. Hope you keep em coming!

Came here to see your amazing GS and I find out you're a pilot. The two things i love, you do them! Best channel out there!
Thanks for watching. 2 of my favorite things in life are Motorcycle Travel and Flying airplanes. :)
Bet Flying wasn't as much after the bill! :D I assume you own a CPL right? And man i just have a thing for the F7/800GS. Keep it up because you'll for sure have me sticking around
***** real things !!
Man! You got the greatest job ever. You get to see the beautiful scenery of the tropics! I wish I could look out the window and see clear blue water and get paid to go there .. Keep the videos coming.
I just started watching your videos and they are great! I am just completing my commercial at FXE, and it is great to see others flying into familiar airports.
Fantastic series, an amazing guy, and amazing adventures with great narration -- keep it up Steveo

Great Video like always Steve o...I like the outside shots as well as what you are doing in the Cockpit! Thanks as always!
Ive been near your beloved TBM. Im a student pilot at North Perry Airport
I like that tip of the wing view back to the plane
Thanks for the extra content at the end Steve. Great video!

safe flights MC
Great video as always and good camera angles. Enjoyed the update on the maintenance at the end!
I love watching the TBM 850, especially given the tail number seems so appropriate.
Awe man, Where is the Flight back???
love the videos. Keep them coming!
Thanks for posting these vids Steve, I know it takes time and effort to film then produce and you do a nice job.
This ol' man so enjoys the videos you provide. Thank you. ☺
I am soooo jealous. It jus showss me that I should have gone for my PPL over here in UK when I could. Blast. Flying over the fins stadium, lovely. Absolutely love your videos. Thanks.
More of these outside vids, please. Excellent views that amplify your info.
I started my private at Broward college, North Perry was my home base. it was nice seeing this vid, thanks for sharing.
you say the stall warning sounds too early, but keep in mind you are in ground effect. Just keep holding it off, as the speed deteriorates the wheels will touch with a nice squeak, instead of a plopgunk.
I like the wing mounted camera!
Lima, we don't need no stinking Lima! Seriously enjoy ALL your vids Steve O.
A short flight can turn into a long flight if you get stuck holding around opa locka if things get busy. especially if your instructor is lost.
Steveo radio calls sounded like mine do that gives me hope one day I can sound like he does now on the radio!!
Steve you flew the metro, pumping the gear down was a weekly occurrence. Me and jason did it a few times lol.
Ohhhh the Old Metroliner....a lot of fun memories in that airplane! lol
great videos Steve. I often find myself going back and rematching them. Keep it up!!!
You make great videos. As if we are in the plane flying along, appreciated...Thank you!
Well you look fatigued..! Also, love the new camera angle!
Man fsx is really upgrading there graphics and sound. They even added a pilot.
Lol...wtf?! LOL
How many times have I HWO to FXE to OPF back to North Perry? How many hours have I spent at North Perry airport. Oh Steve, thanks for the pleasurable flashbacks!
Great video man. Cant wait to make it to Florida next month for Sun N Fun. I will be there with the ShareAviation crew.
This version is much better than the newer TBM850s with the G1000.
Refreshing!! A really nice guy! 👍
Please don’t ever forget your shoulder harness or seat belt (?) again. Hope you had that clipped. I know, a busy old vid, distracted by the gear problem. Been there!
Cool vid !! I have done that trip a few times from HWO to OPF for touch n go's I like the geo referenced taxiways on screen !!
Awesome! Love your videos! Please make more on preparing for a flight!

Eagle Legion Thanks for watching. The only reason I make these videos is for you guys! :) I am happy to answer any questions you may have.
Thx mate, i want to learn to fly soon, could you do a short video 5min on your early days?
*****
Great video bro! You BS'd the tower though. You weren't getting Quebec! 🤣
Holy catz... thought you were going to taxi all the way there at first !!!
The sad part is that I was expecting a bigger bill than that. lmao.
Thanks for taking us along!!!!!
Nice flying skills bro! OPF to HWO is indeed a short flight, not something a pilot would do often!
TBM no longer at North Perry, they moved to Pompano now apparently. Just flew out of 9L from Opa Locka to North Perry today hah.
Ground crew guy was awesome
Well a $2360 bill is not as bad as a much bigger bill to fix the TBM after a belly landing. I’d love to tell you about the same Mooney pilot who landed not once but twice at KSFM when I worked there. Both times the same pilot FORGOT to lower his landing gear! Oops! That cost him a ton of money.

Enjoyed this video, and wing mounted camera.
Thanks for uploading. I love the videos. Keep them coming!
Always remember what your flight instructors told you: "There is always something broken with every airplane. Your job as pilot is to figure out what it is."
They program the Stall Warning to go off early fora reason. It is annoying, but necessary!
Wing camera is cool!
Not as bad as I thought it would be... Had a alternator put on a Beech Duke... Cost was a tad over 12,000 bucks...
ahhhh. Should have watched till the end before commenting.
Its like the specialist wont come to you.
Bring it to the shop and we'll see if we have time to fleece you.!
OK, big surprise - I got my 851TB fix today. I know it was a rerun because the plane is in for its annual for the VS models :) always practice safe flight, or you will be sorry. Old pilots and bold pilots stuff.
yes owning a plane is not cheap but for a bill of $2300 is pretty cheap. Some car repairs are more then that :D great video.
wow - so Steve o you're the owner of that airplane...so are you leased to a company sort of like owner operator truck drivers do? do a vid about your operations - what is your company name - how do you make your money - do you carry cargo as well as passengers - how do you generate revenue - did you buy this airplane new or used - I'm guessing your TBM with all it's cool features and avionics is valued somewhere north of 2m dollars - hangar, maintenance, fuel, insurance, fees for landing and taking off various airports and other incidentals I don't know about...annual expenses must be enormous.
Those antenna towers are ridiculous. I don’t see a lot of those in the PNW.
lol that was my friend holding short at 9:40
Ouch! Guess the plane is out of warantee... Curious as to how the camera out on the left wing is mounted.. Suction cups sure aren't gonna hold the camera on the wing..
ouch, that's quite the bill for a control box.

pinkdispatcher why aviation is so expensive? thats the reason for the decline in pilots
+flyer boy Production volume is to low for mass production and legal liability costs are high.
That "hunk of alloy" has been X-Ray, balanced, and certified using the highest grade of aluminum machined to exacting tolerances. 4 grand is cheap.
@@DougHanchard Unless it's made of wood, of course.
I can't stop watching your videos. Do you own 851TB? Or do you fly it for the owner? Thanks again for the great videos!
i want your life, awesome videos thanks and keep up the downloads! safe flying
3:53 was that gov test? great videos, keep them coming! ;D
Another good video thanks! And they tacked on the extra $.50. Figures.😜
how long does it take for a new pilot to fly the big plane
and by the way brother your videos motivates me every time I watch it
Insurance companies run the game...a big number to pass is 1200 total time to get hired by most part 135 companies as Pilot in command
***** oh so it's mostly imposible to fly the big planes right ???
+Mohammed Alobaidi it all depends on what you call..."big airplanes" you may be able to find some jobs flying larger airplanes but it's all relative to what rules the company falls under.
+steveo1kinevo oh ok
Sorry I'm asking too much
But the reason of it is because I want to become international airline pilot
And I want to work for air Canada because I lives in Canada and my dream as I mentioned above
And thank you so much for answering my question
+Mohammed Alobaidi Never give up! :D
Very cool !
My father-in-law said airplanes like boats are a big money pit. He owned both.
Love your stories... Thanks... Keep it up..
Love your videos.
nice so this shows that fixed landing gear is the way to go :)
Wow....nice bill 2g...Almost as bad as a car repair these days..lol...This might sound odd but ,how are you getting a picture from the tip of the wing toward the plane itself ? Is there a camera lens on the wing or is Reggie out there..ha? Steve you are a wizard of some kind for sure....😁.
+Teddy Chris I strapped Reggie to the wing. lol No, I mounted a GoPro out there for that short slow flight.
Hey Steve. Just wondering, do you ever lose your camera when it is mounted outside as in this video. Thanks! Love the videos a lot.
+Bryan Screens I haven't yet!
+steveo1kinevo That's good to know. Working on a plan to be able to do what you and Steve on Flight Chops do to share the flying experience and to let others see the wonders of backcountry British Columbia. Thanks so much for all the great videos. I have really enjoyed following your journeys - you are a total natural at flying and YouTubing!
LOVE THE VIEW!!!🛩

won the lottery.....
SupSayZ I believe he does not own the craft but flies it for a company
gonatrollya does he pay for the bill or does the company?
The VA does not pay for your private, after that is earned they pay for your commercial and instrument on the GI bill
Great job
Steve, I'm new to your videos, I'm enjoying them. I haven't flown in years and years, not even sure if I can get my medical back, but I understand the allure of flying.
However, this isn't about that. What I want to know is how you got the camera on the wing and kept it there! :p
Gary C Thanks Gary for watching! Glad you are enjoying the videos. :)
Gary C suction cup mount.
Wayne, that's what I thought, but I didn't think that a suction cup mount would stand all the wind at the speed that Steve's flying at.
Gary C ive had them on the outside of our helicopter at 130kts with no problem. I was nervous as well but they are pretty strong.
Thanks Wayne.
steve, u seem calm about this! how? oh I want to be a commercial pilot. I'm 23 and I got a business degree from lsu
$2360 for 7 hours of work, plus parts, seems cheap :-) I went to a small-town ER a month ago. Less than two hours of my time (less of theirs,) an x-ray and a couple of pills: $1160. I was still sick for a month. I am assuming the landing gear, the bracket and the other 'tweaks' all worked immediately. Health-care is nearly 20% of our entire GDP. We live in interesting times.
Wow, so that TBM was your own plane I take it. $3K to change a switch box. Ouch. What is the going rate for a pilot of your caliber? That would be like a 2.5 day thing for me.
Boy i'll bet Socata pays their A&P's very well. Probably a labor rate of around $130 an hour.
Be careful
Great video!
new here and love the vids, so is this your personal plane or is it owned by a company you fly for. could you do more educational vids!!
hey :D thats the airport where i got my private...im a cfi living in ORL and love watching you land in airports i have been before :).... aviation is a small comunity jaja....one question how did you get this job?
the taxi was longer than the flight haha
That's my normal bill when I leave the Harley shop lol
Amazing video thanks man
cool video.
NICE!
Steve how you video yourself flying the TBM850 looking in from the put side and some times just inside the air plane? Do you have an external video camera also? Great video would love to become your friend and go flying wxith you.
+Bob Shaw nope he hasn't got an externally mounted camera, it's just magic
Great video! Any TBM 900's on the ramp? Have you had a chance to climb into one?
There was 5 TBM900's there. I have sat in them...very nice airplane! :)
