Such a beautiful plane!!! Also a request: less music and more engine sound
Thanks for watching - good suggestion!
The music made me buy a Cirrus
Good choice of airplanes! Thanks for watching!
Agreed. I really don’t get the preoccupation with trying to make music videos for pilots. I am engineer. If I want music I have plenty of other entertainment choices.
That’s why watching is optional. Some people enjoy music some don’t - it’s a personal preference. I really don’t get the pre-occupation with thinking your personal opinions are shared by everyone!
Love these planes but loved that classic old pickup at 14:00
Nice it looks fantastic on the inside
Thank you for watching.
Is it pressurized?
Malibu/Mirage is pressurized. Matrix same airframe/engine not pressurized. Thanks for watching.
@@FlyingwithRich thanks for the reply.
Cheers mate.
I love this airplane ✈
Interesting. I subscribed 👍
Thank you!
Do you every allow passengers to hook up with one of your fights?
I haven’t done that yet but thought about doing it. Where are you from?
Not sure I could squeeze between those seats, door is classy though. Any resources to help make sense of this kind of purchase for business?
It’s tight for sure - one of the downsides to this airplane. Aircraft used for business are eligible for depreciation. There are aggressive depreciation schedules for aircraft as tax write off. Great tools for business as well. If you have other questions, you can e-mail me at rich@ocraviation.com.
Mirage vs Baron G58?
Personally I prefer the Baron but Mirage is a great airplane too. Mirage probably makes more sense for performance/cost.
@flyingwithRich I also lean that way. Plan to upgrade from the 310 Ovation in the fall of this year and doing my research.
Wow Is it really that silent?
Pretty quiet airplane but I wouldn’t say silent. Thanks for watching.
I do completely agree with all the pre-writer's before......; the music (in addition = too loud !) spoils the whole video........; I really would like to know the reasons for it....... :-(
The background music sucks...
Merry Christmas!
The people who built that engine worked too hard to have their efforts drowned over by techie auto tuned bullshit!
Why oh why do you use awful, crappy music, if you even want to call it that you're ruining a good video. CAN IT, SHEESH
Thanks for watching!
Music???? 👎👎👎
Thanks for watching!!
I think you've done a better job of marketing this aircraft than piper has. I'm now in love with it.
Hello have a nice day, great review, but as someone already mebtioned, music is not a good asset in this kind of videos because the engine or the chit chat with atm is enough entertainment.
AWFUL MUSIC - TOO LOUD. quit after 4min
Great feedback. Thanks for watching!
@@FlyingwithRich watched gain - you corrected. Excellent videos you produce - will call you when I'm ready to bu
Thanks for sharing, but I’m pretty sure most of us who watch this kind of content would rather hear you talking through the procedures and atc rather than the music. Cool aircraft though. I’ve flown the meridian and really enjoyed it.
Thanks for the feedback and watching
Lose the music and maybe say what you’re doing when starting the engine.
Just found your channel and I really enjoy your format. It is very informative as well as entertaining. I am looking forward to seeing your video on the Phenom. That is my dream ride! Keep up the good work!
I did the type rating recently, but unfortunately wasn't able to get any video. I will be taking a flight in it with a customer soon, so will make sure to get some good video, and post soon.
Music a big turn-off, should have been explaining the functions of the aircraft.
Paul Pat loyal Thanks for the feedback.
I actually like the music.
Thank you! Me too!!
@@FlyingwithRich Hahaha you just can't please them all. I liked the video and keep em coming.
Maybe just turn it down a fraction.
love the videos but i really wish you didn't fast-forward the takeoffs!
David David Thanks for message and feedback. I’ll do the take-offs at normal speed next time.
@@FlyingwithRich Thank you! Happy 4th!
Man you have a sweet job with the variety of airplanes you get to fly. Love these videos.
Thanks - yes been blessed to get to fly a lot of different airplanes. Honestly, didn’t start out that way, just happened that I was in a situations that got me experience in a lot of different aircraft . Thanks for watching!
The music did not enhance the video.
Thanks for watching.
I liked the music. Keep up the nice videos.
@@MilazzoTony Thanks for watching! Appreciate the feedback!
The most important feature this video demonstrates: overhead switches! I’m sold! 👍
I like that too - big airplane feel!
Rich. I am 6’2” with short legs and a long torso and have found it very difficult to get in and out of this airplane. Is there a trick to entry and exit in this airplane/ I have also been surprised how small the cabin is once I fight my way in to the pilots seat.
One of the real downsides to this airplane based on my experience. A lot depends on your build but just not an easy airplane to get in to - wish I had a trick to pass along, but I don’t. Thanks for the message!
Nominate for worst music of 2019. Had to set volume to 0. Stopped the video at 8:30. Bye
Thanks for the feedback!
Flying charter 135 all over the US, Caribbean, Mexico, Caribbean, etc… California gives the wildest clearances for jets….. turn this heading, intercept this VOR radial to this intersection then this heading for this radial to this fix then DCT a fix. I usually reply with “unable sit we’re in a jet not a C172. I don’t have time to do all that while flying at 250+ kias….”
So Rich, tell us how the owner broke in the cylinders.
Beautiful airplane, music or not i just love being in the cockpit, when i cant't actually fly this is almost as good. Thanks for the videos.
Thanks for the message and watching. Definitely got some feedback on the music! Is about the flying (not the music) to me too!
I've been following you now since you started. When you bake something that no-one else has, as every master baker knows, you don't experiment with the recipe. What am I talking about. Music. We don't need it. May the outro. I want to hear you do the pre-flight checks and hear the engine from startup to shutdown. Maybe your target audience has changed? I'm an old dude and former pilot. You have to know what's best. Just saying.
Takeoff and landing should not be sped up. Just my thoughts..
Thanks for the feedback!
You FF the takeoff and landing! That sucked. So did most of the music.
Thanks for watching!
I concur. Music ran me off. I couldn’t finish the video. Nice looking plane.
Thanks for this. I also vote for no music. :)
Thanks for watching and the feedback.
One of me favorite airplane, but couldn't watch it with that music. Next time kill the music
Thanks for watching and feedback.
I love the airplane and I think you doing great job talking about it, one think that I always liked to know when companies representing an airplane for sale they never tell us the price I think it’s important to know so we can compare prices with others dealers or just in general knowledge, thanks
P.S I like your videos
We try to always give prices on our listings. I do forget on videos so that’s not intentional if I didn’t give a price. Thanks for watching!
The Malibu came in the 80's not 70's, apart from that, solid video.
I think I really like this camper. Simple but elegant look inside. Dont mind stepping into shower.low oven is weird, but that window in kitchen....yes.
Sorry wrong channel.

I don't understand the purpose of all the music for videos like this. It's just noise that gets in the way of us learning about the plane - and thats what we are here for.
There’s a story behind the music. Sorry you don’t like it. Speaking of things we don’t understand, I don’t understand taking the time to make the comment you just made!
Enjoy Your Videos Rich! Learning a lot about different aircraft. Please do a video on some of the latest Avionics and go through the steps of setting up for NAVCOM and standby. We upgraded Piper Lance to a Garmin Stack and a instruction CD Came with the system. I have friends with different aircraft and I want to know the latest and because of health I’m grounded. However, I want to maintain and improve skill levels just in case an emergency arises in which I have to take charge. I love flying and want to be able to land the Plane in case an emergency comes up..... I trained in the Military so learned Fixed wing and Rotary wing.. I was Blessed with outstanding Military and Civilian CFIs. Thank You so much!
Thank you for the message. Will do some new avionics videos - coming soon.
The music seriously??????
More info on plane in Wikipedia and quicker to read. Didn’t finish. Also agree on music.
Great comment. Thank you for watching!
On the Piper, what's the difference between a Mirage and a Malibu. Nice speed brakes, tks for the video.
Piper switched from Continental to Lycoming and I believe they changed the name to Malibu Mirage when they did that. I think in the last few years they’ve dropped the Malibu name all together and just call it the Mirage. Really no differences in the airframes - just engines and avionics.
I always loved punching out of a low ceiling pea soup and into the clear sky. 😎
Always a great feeling - thanks for watching!
startup procedures please. Great job on video. Keep it up.
Thanks for watching - will do!
It even comes with collars on the breakers!
Cool video. First Malibu 1984
That’s optional!
Man I don’t know how you fly so many different airplanes and remember where are all the switches are for all the systems. That is freaking amazing to me
Thank you. Not as hard as it seems - mostly just a lot of flying over the years! Thanks for watching!
Do you give a family discount?
Watched all of the videos and they are great. Look forward to the next one.
stephen w. Dudley Of course - Come to Long Beach and Get a SoCal tour!
Wonder why they don’t install V8 engines in these aircraft - It will lower operational RPM + additional
Torque = power on demand ? Cool video
The M350 is my favorite airplane …. How noisy is the the airplane?
I think a little better than your average single piston with a big engine.
Don't know why anyone would buy a Cirrus since this plane does more and is less money.
More difficult to get competitive insurance for a new pilot with pressurization/retractable gear. Maintenance costs are higher and not huge gains in performance over a 300 NM trip. Thanks for watching!
Enjoyed the video and info. Currently driving a B58 baron and looking to upgrade to pressurization and am leaning towards C-414A bur who knows
Thats a good idea, write that on a yellow pad...
Nice bird
The Phenom 300 is a highly rated light jet. It has range, speed, and great numbers in the fuel consumption category. The Gulfstream G280, is a step up from the Phenom 300. I would like to see that in a future review.
Phenom 300 coming soon...Don’t have any G280s for now.
0:03 which is that white jet on the last
Citation Mustang
@@FlyingwithRich what about the small one in the front with prop
ak My thoughts exactly as he was giving the intro, I was also looking into the background and saw that beautiful all white aircraft with no engraving on it except the tail, and it looked “marvelous.” I read that you mentioned 0:03 on the video progress, but I’m referring towards a different viewing angle perhaps of the same aircraft which starts at 1:55 and ends at 3:45! I need to get me that damn license and get me a plane afterwards. Not in the same class of course, unless I write to Santa that I’ve been a really good good boy, and hope that he believes it!! But even then, I don’t think that even Santa got the budget for it...!!!
Man the music blows. The rest is great.
I've seen a lot a later videos on this channel, which I like a lot. I visited this one because I'm a fan of the Piper Malibu/Mirage. I'm glad the later videos dropped the music. I think it (The music) might be nice for non-pilots but for the aviation enthusiast I think it disconnects the viewer from the flying experience. It becomes more a movie or music video. I loved the aircraft but couldn't get into the 'zone' of imagining myself being 'there', surprisingly, to me, the music creates a wall to that. Again, love the later videos on this channel, shame about this one, as the Malibu was my favourite aeroplane when it came out in the 80's and this kind of spoiled it for me.
Thanks for watching!
Am I the only one that likes to hear the sounds of an Aircraft starting up? What's with the cheesy electric guitar?
What kind of music do you like?
@@FlyingwithRich I love the way Pratt & Whitney make the PT6s sing! ;-)
It is very very very beautiful! 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻🤩😍 And looks like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 hangar…
700 lbs payload with 50% fuel cant even have 4 200 lbs men in it how is this a 6 person plane when ya cant put 4 with 50% fuel its like calling a bugatti a 6 person car with 4 sitting
in a trailer behind the car ffs
Rare to fill the seats and tanks and be under gross on any certified airplane. Especially a piston single. Can you name one?
It's easy to make a plane allowing full tanks and all seats occupied and with baggage, just limit the fuel capacity. Much better to create larger fuel tanks and the pilot then has a choice whether they want range or passengers. That, though, assumes the pilot has the mental capacity to make that choice. Seems, some people don't have that ability.
@@MrMihawesTrue in part. But I think it is reasonable to knock this type for weak payload rage. If you put 4 200lb people and say 25 pounds each for clothes, footwear and a few bits and pieces you don’t get much range for a pressurised aircraft. An extra 150/200 lb of payload would make all the difference.
I love your little RC tractor.
Me too! Thanks for watching.
Nope...I didn't see the stable takeoff cause it wasn't in real time. And the music is soooo distracting.
Like your videos. As others have suggested, maybe a little less music. Thanks for sharing them.
"600 mile range is really good." I may disagree. Especially compared to a Continental powered PA-46. Mooney's can get 800-900 mile range.
What they said re: music.
I don’t remember the exact statement I made, but round numbers - the airplane has a 600 NM range with north of 700lbs payload on a reduced fuel load. My experience is that most people don’t want to spend more than 3 hours in an airplane and that’s about 600NM in the Mirage. If you fill the tanks, you could get 1000 NM range. I think there is even a mod to get more fuel capacity. Thanks for watching!
Great performance....if only I could get my large frame in and out.
Thanks for watching. Tough cockpit to get into at any size!
Good video, but too much background music. Let us hear the airplane.
What is that red thing that came out of the wing at 12:35?
Speed brakes. Helps slow you down without reducing too much power too quickly.
Well I liked the music and the video.
Thanks Tony. I appreciate that! Now videos coming soon!
bro...bro..bro.. i know the airplane is fabulous but not a word about the sweet tug robot?!
god i would lvv to fly in the mirage with U,i remember fueling them and just looking at there smooth lines and sasying to myself im going up in one of these dome dayor nite.
One power plant by the way …. OK.
use to work for T.W.A and Alaska and LanndMark and Signature here in sandiego,U rock brother........
Thank Rich! Love the channel. Flying a TTx currently and working on my commercial. Later may be in the interest for turbo prop as time progresses.
Nice - really like the TTX! Great airplane to prep you for a turbo-prop!
The rc 🚕 is awesome
Please, no music in your videos. Just ruins them.
This is an old-style video before we went professional.
What were the red things extending out of the wing at 12:33?
Speed brakes, help you slow the airplane down. Landing gear, flaps have max speeds for operation so helpful to have speed brakes to get you below those speeds, especially when descending
@@FlyingwithRich Thank you! Interesting! I've heard of speed breaks before, but didn't know what they looked like. They are smaller than what I would have guessed.
Enjoyed the video, thank you! I would have enjoyed it a bit more without the speed-up of the takeoff and landing. Those are two of the most interesting phases of flight and seeing how it flies at normal speed would have been welcome. I realize this video is old now so perhaps this feedback is totally redundant at this point.
Always appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching!
I have to agree with most, Music is not necessary when you have a nice Lycoming running up front.
One tip: And take this only as some help from a pilot who flies global operation, for assigned heading always say 'heading 120 etc' not just 120, as it can easily mistaken for speed or even FL.
I get the music loud and clear. There was a special situation with the music I won’t get in to but it won’t be on future videos. Thanks for watching!
How does someone like yourself acquire a career like this? Do you have past experience in the airlines or with a 135? This would literally be my dream job flying different aircraft and even being able to exercise some sales & marketing experience. Love the videos! Just got my ifr and cpl over at Torrance. Would love to know how I could possibly get in a position somewhere doing something similar. Being able to fly new and different aircraft seems like a blast.
I like so much your videocamera! What a quality! 📹 It is perfect!
Rich my friend has the remote control catipiller towing nose gear Mac
Rich, how tall are you ? I know earlier PA 46's had less leg room unti 2004 when they removed the cabinet. You appear to have plenty of room at the knees.
I’m 5’11.
cheap youtube cheese muzak ..
It’s not cheap, it’s free! Thanks for watching.
Bad video editing and the background music is a bad choice, nothing of the plane is appreciated, you talk too much and say nothing useful
👍🏼
Aqui no Brasil só se for movido a Querosene "Jet-A1" porquê fica impraticável no Brasil o preço da ⛽ Avgas e muito Caro!!!
Love ❤️
Hi would it be possible to do a review with that lancair parked in your opening scene N491DC I believe was the registration
That's long gone unfortunately. Sorry.
Excellent video. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
naa...your vids are perfect and you rock brother.............john from Sd.
I cant understand anything. .please turn off that music...
Why would I do that - it’s my most popular video? Thanks for watching!
@@FlyingwithRich Your videos are great!..I think people want to hear the sound of the engine..but.. again,your vídeos are great ..congrats! !

Thanks for watching!
cool airplane, we are looking to buy a 6 seater in Europe like this one for our company and private needs.
I'd rather be in the US when it comes to general aviation infrastructure and costs though .
Almost subscribed.... then the music hit me :-(
Yes the Malibu was launched in 1983
Great for husband, wife and four small kids...useful load 700 lbs. doesn't leave much for 4 large men. I ques that's why they made the Piper Lance.
2 hours + reserve fuel will get you 4 larger people in the Mirage. Thanks for watching.
@@FlyingwithRich It's a great looking plane just the same.
700 seems like a light payload for a 1m aircraft with 3 hours is this a heavy empty weight ?
I think pretty typical for Mirage empty weight. I looked at the W&B on this airplane and it’s 1215 lbs useful load.
Looked at another one that did not have radar and it has a 1245 lb useful load.
I used to fly a Saratoga. What a change¡¡¡
