I really like your “cockpit stance”. Not rushed, planning ahead, clear and readable comms. Nice and relaxed!
I hope all pilots are like him!
As opposed to all those pilots that are slouched over and not paying attention.
Love when you have y9ur sweet mom with you
*Watching this just incase I ever need to fly a plane.*
😂
You never know...
Same :) think I’m gonna just drive it on the highway :)
Where’s the blinkers
Brake and gas that’s all I need to know
One of the things I like about your flying is the fact that you are a great pilot but you are also not too proud to use your checklist and keep it close by.
He would be a fool not to use checklist. Ask those pilots on Northwest 255 at Detroit
The mark of a pilot planning to stay alive!
@@MarylandManson29 In my 24 years as a US Army pilot, I used the checklist for EVERY preflight, inflight, and post flight check. That’s the only way to fly!
@@thadlm2698 Hell, I'm not even a pilot and I was like hell yeah. checkin that list! Never seen this channel before this video 30 mins ago and as soon a I seen that check list I was committed to the entire video. lol
but you are also not too proud to use your checklist ( according to who?) to an Non Pilot?
It's so cool how far we have come in 100 years. The Wright Brothers first flight was shorter than the wingspan of a 747
I used to own A Citation. Awesome Little Jets! A Great Ride & A Pilot's Dream! I've made this exact flight a few times. I was based at Burbank, I'm A Left Coaster, But I've done PLENTY of Right Coast Flying! Yeah, I'm addicted to Flying Too, since my Childhood. I went flying with My Dad, A WWII Pilot, every Sunday Afternoon. My Dad flew Mustangs in The European War.
Presently, I'm looking to buy a WWII Era Conair. Those Gulled Wing Just Do Something For Me, Eventhough I'm Not A Big Fan Of Tail draggers. So far, I haven't found a Conair that doesn't "Need Work!" But your demo ride made me really miss my Citation!
BTW, I'm into The "Flight Sims" too. Just be sure that you don't go on A Sim. Flight While You're Actually Flying that Lovely Citation! ROFL!!!
May Your Landings Always Be Happy!
Nice part about flying in Microsoft Flight Simulator is that it doesn't cost $1800 an hour to enjoy.
I'd rather fly the real thing, even for that price.
And if you crash... you still live!
@@MartianTom lots of people survive plane crashes. They are getting safer every year. Heck, now some single piston aircraft have parachutes in them. Which will be the norm in 10 years or less.
In real life the AP works on MSIM 2020 AP is a little broke...
And you can listen to music and mute ATC!
23:50 you mention flying heavy aircraft on the SIM - that sounds thrilling, but as an former 767 pilot I can assure you that the freedom of flying a Citation like you do is the topping on any ice cream. Great job! Safe Flights!
Dont you just love it when pilots enjoy flying
You can see a happy man doing the job he loves as a true professional on Citation Max. Thank you sir for your excellent videos
On his time off Max flies with Flight Simulator? Can you imagine a plumber doing a similar thing? Going and digging a trench somewhere just because he thinks it’s fun. Or a tax accountant doing someone’s taxes on a day off just for fun.
WOW…there is so much going on that “us regular folks” who are not pilots have NO IDEA of. All the props to you and all the great pilots and ATC folks who keep us al safe!
the positive energy from this guy is above the horizont
Agreed, he is a cool, confident dude, someone u would want to marry ur daughter
GREAT VIDEO. Am a born and raised Chicago native and loved seeing my city on your approach to the downtown lakefront. GRAND viewing 👍
Love it- KMDW is my home airport. MSFS is awesome too- thanks for the comments on that. Happy flying!
Your vids are the best. just a thank you for letting us in to a rare visual and lesson
You flew right over our home on your landing approach to our favorite airport. Love seeing our beautiful lakefront!
Just ran across your flight to MDW. I spent more than three decades at ZJX as an ATC with details elsewhere from time to time. Fun to watch and to listen to ATC once again.
Max is the "Cheers" of the airways. Everybody knows his name.
Wow...Brand new to ur channel...So excellent...Never seen a private plane ✈️ like that!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I flew in a private company jet once back in 2006. It was an amazing experience. We flew to Monterrey Bay from eastern Oregon and it only took an hr I believe. It was crazy to see the air traffic above San Francisco. You don't realize what's happening above your head a few thousand feet in the air lol
Just got off a Passenger plane from S. Carolina to Chicago. You just showed me how they do it. Its amazing how planes land without crashing, lol. Amazing Video.
ive always wanted to become a pilot, but when i grew up i couldnt go up 4 steps on a ladder without being scared. Light speed my friend, youre a fantastic pilot!
if you want it, go for it. its really not that hard to become a pilot
@@desks3674 its quite hard and takes a load of determination and will
@@andrew3084 I know. I’m a commercial single and multi engine pilot. All I was saying is if he wants to do it for for it if you study enough and fly enough it’s really not that difficult
Awe beautiful! I really enjoyed this totally. hope to see more! ! Stay safe n be well.
Actually enjoyed this. Don't know that I'll ever fly a plane bc it doesn't strongly interest me as of yet, but I will say that it has crossed my mind to take the pilot course I've seen advertised all around the town I live atm. I do hope every pilot that I encounter is as organized, friendly and good vibe as you appear to be. Great stuff man!
Another nice flight Max. Enjoying the channel! My initials are RF…and birthday is on the 2nd, so naturally, I am a big fan of 2 Romeo Foxtrot.
As someone that's just getting into this biz, that citation gets going and up so damn fast. You love to see it.
Hehehe, I started with FS ver. 1.0 from SubLogic in 1982. Until 2005 I got my private license here in Mexico. I just flew Citation 500's for 16 years, the last one a Bravo, beatiful bird.
That was impressive, you are a world class pilot. Really enjoyed the ride along.
As a former citation co-pilot it's great to watch your videos. You are a true professional pilot. Love the videos.
This was an impressive landing. Well done! Set it right down on the centerline and even kicked in the perfect amount of rudder right before touchdown. Bravo
31:25 The former Meigs Field at the bottom of the screen. I had the pleasure of taking off from this airport summer of 2000 when I was working in Chicagoland as an intern. My roomie thought it would be fun to take a discovery flight, so I joined him for it. My turn to fly happened on the second half of the trip -- taking off from Meigs, flying over/around the city a bit, then back up to Chicago Executive Airport, where we began.
Awesome approach and landing, Max! I love the videos! You and Greg keep me company during my hosptial stays and truly help distract me from then pain! Keep them coming!!
Appreciate that Michael. Glad you enjoy the videos. Hope you get better soon and stay pain free. Will keep them coming.
@@CitationMax Thanks, Max!! You just made me feel better! Really appreciate watching you fly. Situational awareness, professional etiquette and the whole nine. Well done, sir...and thank you sobverybmuch for the reply!!
Thanks for the beautiful clips, the fun flying, excellent photography, and great trips
Hi I stumbled across your channel, I'm loving it. I have always been interested in aviation, but have always had a fear of flying. I have to say, you have so helped me with your running commentaries. I have learnt so much from watching you and how a plane works. You have alleviated a lot of my apprehensions sitting in the passenger seat. I now know what's going on in the flight cabin.
Great comment. This is exactly the same for me too
Eventhough I didn't understand almost everything he was saying, I was just extremely interesting to watch. Not only the flying itself, but also the checks before take-off had
me glued! Thanks for the vid!
Love these great shots of the Hudson on a clear day... Looking forward to a vlog on the first annual inspection if you can do one... Safe travels .... Best, Uncle Rudy
Really interesting. The talk with control is like a foreign language to my ears. Really requires total attention on the part of both pilot and control. I couldn’t do that, so I admire those that can.
31:25 Directly above former Meigs Field Airport ✈️❤️ Millions of people started their first (virtual) flight there! Thanks for your great videos, Max! Happy landings from Germany 🇩🇪 Lukas
Still breaks my heart when he destroyed that airport.
@@dtbmjax Flying there was on my bucket list, I’m from Illinois, family still in Chicago, went to Northwestern. But when I got my PPL in California in 1981 one of the things I most looked forward to was flying to Meigs. Unfortunately, life intervened and I didn’t get to it. Ultimately, the criminal pig Mayor Daley destroyed Meigs literally in the dead of the night. He stranded multiple airplanes that were either based there or transient. He used the excuse of its being a base for terrorists (which is particularly galling and ludicrous) to hand a favor to his cronies. Unforgivable. As you can tell, I’m still raw about it.
@@TIO540S1 As incredibly terrible as the Daley family was for Chicago, it's crazy to think they are a better option than present!
@@DavidDavid-jb1cy That’s about the lowest bar I’ve ever seen! But yes, I guess so. But Daley destroyed Meigs and I can’t get past that.
@@DavidDavid-jb1cy Funny, because I was just thinking the other day that even Rahm looks good now.
The largest aircraft I have been on is a 767 300ER. But, to make a return flight in a citation BNE-POM-BNE would be a citation VII & I would be like a kid in a lolly (candy) store.
Fun Fact: The segment of video looking out the right wing, as you passed over the city, there is a very narrow strip of land just off shore.. Thats where the old Chicago Miegs airport used to be. That was the home base airport for the first flight Sims from Sublogic, and then Microsoft, in the late 80's.. When you booted up, you started there in a Cessna 172.. Great videos I love your channel 👍
True story! I remember booting up to Meigs Field in the old flight sim back in the day! Would often fly from there to midway and ORD
@Bruce B I missed it when I returned back to do fsim with XPlane 11, it was one of my favorite runways
Bruce B You mean before Daly illegally bulldozed the runway. That S.O.B.
Taking off from Meigs: I've done it with my Cessna Hundreds of times!!
@Dale MTB Commuter Yes, a bulldozer at 2am cut a bunch of X’s in the runway. Stranded many airplanes who needed to get special permission to use the taxiway to leave 🤬
I remember the first time I flew to Cleveland and was shocked with just how big the lake was and that isn't even half of this lake. It's truly amazing how big they are and you just can't get a grasp until you are in the air.
Great video Mr. Max. I'm definitely an Aviation nerd. The Flightradar24 is certainly my favorite Aviation information app on arrival/departures etc. I'm out of PHL. in fact, the regional aircraft flown by Piedmont for American's final approach is right over our home for Runway 17. Occasionally we'll see some private aircraft in the same final in. I'll take my sons out to the airport and sit at the end of 27L and 27R, Bluetooth the ATC and my boys will have a million questions I can't answer. Lol. Thanks for this share.
Excellent, Thanks for the Flight, the View! :)
I used to Live in Chicago Jan 1 1970 to June 1975
Greased it! Caught the starboard landing gear coming down on the approach - good timing on the camera switch. Hope the 🍕 was delicious! See ya!
But he was in already in NY/CT for pizza 😁
@@kingkong1040 That being the problem. Poor guy had to fly all the way to the south side of Chicago for pizza.
this is super cool
This guy is a pro.
15:46 "If you're not doing something, there's something you're not doing." ;)
I agree Premier 1 is good, but I like Max because he talks about everything he does.....it’s very helpful for those of us who suck at the new flight simulator....😂
I like them both, the more I learn about the AP and ILS approach on FS2020, the more you recognize what these guys are doing, great stuff!
Facts!
@@krekel326 I believe that I had last used FS was back in FS2000, I think things must changed allot.
@@86missmak Same here but when FS2020 came out, I decided to buy a new PC and some extra hardware to fly and I love it. It has changed so much and I love the graphics. It also makes me understand better when you follow guys like Max and Premier Driver. Great fun!
@@krekel326 Really nice to know that. I'm in the same boat. Just built a new PC for FS2020 after a decade without using it. Simply irresistible... Cheers..
Nice M5 Max!!! Love your videos
Love aviation. Couldn't afford it back in Bogotá. If ypu need co pilot that'll be a dream come true at my age 58. Nice video. Nice jet.
good to see a fellow countryman here :)
Hi Max loved your video. Great to hear you talking through your preflight and flight. I was a Citation instructor for FSI until Covid19 caused a layout at our training center. Your checklist and talking reminded me of my many training sessions with crew and with single pilot training of clients. Also I am a big animal rescue person and thus glad to hear about your great work with dogs. God bless you.
Hey Ralph! Thanks for your nice message. I’m sorry to hear about your lay-off from FSI but hopefully you will be back soon! Hope to bump in to you one day! Thank you and take care
Nice skyline view of Chicago, Max--well done! Nice offset landing, too--ALL of mine were offset;)
I learned to fly about 80 miles SW of Chicago--had to climb to 5000' to see Sears Tower back in the day...
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching
Hi! Longtime Bonanza B36TC driver here, but now just an old guy with no airplane, but a lot of memories. Big fan of your channel. Love how seamlessly and safely the Citation avionics helps manage single-pilot IFR workload. No shuffling Jeppesen paper approach plates in and out of that old leather binder. If you don't mind my asking: Sometimes it sounds like this is your personal/family airplane, and sometimes it seems you are working charters for "The Man."
Approaching the Chicago skyline is awesome!
29:28 Birds likely Sandhill Cranes which regularly fly 4,000 to 7,000 feet or more, stand over 4’ tall with 7’ wingspans, weigh 8-9 lbs.
Most definitely a hazard.
If you're looking for deep dish pizza, Lou Malnatis about 2 blocks south of the airport on Cicero Av cant be beat!
Kelly Davis I think otherwise! Nothing beats Giordanos😅
@@LukePylypciw No way!
Ha! Awesome. Writing those down for my next trip! Thanks
Hi max you make flying so fun when most people are terrified to even look at a plane. I work by the Hudson River and I think I saw you passing by. I think you can teach people how to fly. You make me want to be a pilot.I watch all you videos. Your amazing may god bless you and protect you. 🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛩🛫🚅🚅👨🏻✈️
Nice part about being a pilot flying out of small airports all the time is having casual conversations with people using each other’s real names on frequency lol😂
what?
@@rafaelosorio2251 Nice part about being a pilot flying out of small airports all the time is having casual conversations with people using each other’s real names on frequency lol😂
Nice Flight ! TYVM !
When I hear Max call out to ATC - Citation 2RF - I feel like Max really wants to say CitationMax 2RF 😂🛩😎 Nice capture & view off the right wing of Chicago!
I love it. this Plane is so silent. can only hear the Oxygen
It's true "There is only one Citation Max." Thanks for sharing the ride friend.
Thank you dale!
Thanks for sharing the insights firsthand of a private jet pilot. The practice of always checking the "checklist" adds another level.
Just got my PPL (process through covid was a disaster).. This is definitely the goal. Its great to see pilots make videos and explain the entire process. It is very informative and that landing was about as smooth as it gets. Anyone watching these vids who take an interest to flying, go get your Private Pilot License. You don't need to be rich to fly, but if you really want it, its achievable. I managed to get it done while on unemployment. Its the best feeling in the world when you take off and land. The views are absolutely stunning. Not to mention pilots make crazy money if you invest in getting a commercial license.
yes you do need that to fly often
How much crazy money pilots make? I guess you are a bit misinformed
@@klimankhmeron7636 Investing in a commercial pilot license is clearly going to earn you great money working for an airline after you put your time in. Its not to say that it happens overnight as many pilots with a commercial pilots license start out making 5 figures for as little as 3 years before breaking 6 figures. I can't say this about many civilian jobs without a Masters or PhD requirement. Just like any job, if you put the time in, you'll reap the benefits, but airline pilots near retirement are making significantly more than most American households do combined. I could settle for a trade in construction and end up seeing $120k/yr near retirement or stick to flying put in the time and see damn near $200k/yr. Its all about preference and if you can deal with that lifestyle change. I do know that beginner pilots don't see nearly as much (closer to 30k), my cousin started flying for emirates nearly 8 years ago and made the switch to work for Chinese airlines for the significant pay increase but it is a bit of a culture shock for him. He's one of the reasons I decided to take lessons and get my PPL.
@@4nmusic758 I had this opportunity back in the day but I missed it. Now I'm in the different field but always coming back to an idea now to fly just for myself as a hobby. I can't brag about how my profession right now can easily bring $120k after even being certified due to competition and easiness comparing to flying a dream liner for the sake of argument. However, for many years I was checking the CP salaries and they never were close to $150k even having thousands of hours of flying experience.
@@klimankhmeron7636 I read that because of covid, thousands of pilots were given a package to retire early and more than 60% accepted. My cousin still has his job thankfully, and rumor has it that they will be needing 40,000 pilots by spring/summer of 2021 assuming the spread of covid has been slowed or detained. Just thought I'd share this info regarding the convo we had. 😉
I subbed, not only because you flew into my beautiful city, but it's how you did it. You make flying look as smooth as silk. I'm in IT. Which I know is nothing in comparison to being a Pilot. However, your skill and career; and then seeing it as you do it on YT, is HIGHLY inspirational. I'll continue to check out your videos, sir.
Awesome videos! I'm a not a pilot, but love machines that need this kind of concentration and focus! I like the intro music too. A few are added to my favorites! 👍
8:15 -- 684 -- the Kensico, great fishing -- White Plains in the distance. Having been around the world a bit, I always Love how many Trees we have here - in and around NYC
....SO much fun flying solo with you MAX!
Hello Bill So tell me how are you doing?
@Hello Bill how are you doing
As a former aircraft mechanic for cessna aircraft Wichita Ks. (1978-1988) I really enjoyed your video and boy have the new age of avionics impressed me as I'm old school VOR & R NAV LOL!
Max, you make me want to be a pilot! Sometimes I sit and watch the takeoff and landings at SRQ. I'm sure that's a beautiful sight from the pilot perspective.
That’s crazy I do the same, driving along 41
You only need about 40 hours of flying to be a private pilot. On top of that a private plane is as low as 80 grand.
Smooth flight nice 👍
I was surprised at how long he maintained that offset of the approach vector. In Microsoft Flight Simulator I always try to line up with the runway as soon as possible but real world piloting is entirely different. No-bounce or wobble on a skewed landing I would call greased as well. Good landing.
You must be an expert
That was certainly a ‘lumpy’ approach, particularly at low altitude. Great landing despite the wind.
That was one of the best videos I've ever seen flying along.👍
Great video Max. I love your passion for flying. Keep up the good work. Beautiful view. Got to love that flat straight horizon
Jealous of that perfect weather. Smoky in the PNW. Great vid as always Max
Believe it or not the smoke has made its way over here to Ohio now
Kevin Collins wow!
@pilot Connor thanks! Be safe. Those fires are scary
i like how all communications between these guys sounds super cool, like a 1970's FM station dj.
Aviation is always fun
Nice flight. I spotted the former site of Meigs Field, those of us that have been flight simming for a while know the significance of that location.
THE BEST CITATION PILOT AS OF TODAY
dont let them shake you up max
This is helping me overcome my fear of flying - going on a plane for the first time in May !
Wish I could fly along.......never been on a private jet b4 .....at least happy to see you flying.....safe journey.......(Lumut Malaysia)
Max- that was a great Flight- Love the scenary!!!
Holy shit, just a dude living the dream. An aviation enthusiasts dream that is. This video was enjoyed in it's entirety. Thanks!
Great vid and channel! Living vicariously through you. Clear skies brother! 🛩
Well done bro just fantastic
I enjoy every second of your videos. What a great flight once again out of New York. Thanks for bringing me along with you.
Means a lot Kevin! Thank you
I would love to be a pilot but I suffer from panic attacks and when I am driving a car I can pull over but you can't do that on a plane...so I will enjoy my flight simulator games and pretend...that works..but I love this video..
Max I love you videos! You were one of the people the inspired me to start making videos of my flights for TH-cam. I pray one day I get to step up from a Cessna 152 to a Citation.
I really liked the vision jet he use to fly
Chad Dossett I would definitely be happy with the vision jet too. I would honestly be happy with a 172 if it meant I can take my family places and not have to pay a rental fee. I like that Max started out filming to really be able to critique his flight training. I think being able to look back and see what could have gone better is a super productive way to learn.
@@HoosierPilot What the meaning behind your user name "Hoosier pilot" ?
Chris Johnson I’m glad you asked it’s a really interesting story. I’m from Indiana (the Hoosier state) and I’m a pilot.
@@HoosierPilot Ya I kinda figured I just wanted to ask to make shure! I also from Indiana and a ppl pilot out of Fishers Indiana!
Love that landing bro!! Great job!!!
I've watched a few of these videos, but I'm subscribing today. Why? Because ATC said "250" and he repeated "270", before being corrected by ATC....and he didn't edit it out.
Thank you! Appreciate that!
Agreed.
Happens all the time. It’s normal.
I wish we could get autopilot in cars.
@@DeepWebDiary i have auto pilot in my car! 😎
I've had a few Pilots comment on my channel that they flew over Dunkirk NY (where I film and live) that its some sort of marker? on their way to Buffalo or Toronto.
Hi Max, thanks for sharing these tremendous videos! That was quite the crab angle on final approach! Regarding wake turbulence, it seems like a system could be developed using ADSB information to plot the likely position (taking into consideration wind drift), altitude, and duration of the vortex trails of heavy and large aircraft and then show this information on one of the cockpit displays (like the terrain awareness screen) to assist in vortex avoidance. I was reading some reports of upsets of business jets caused by 757's (not even a heavy aircraft), so this is a problem that needs more attention, even though technically ATC is supposed to provide vortex separation. Stay safe! -Ibrahim
I have a crippling fear of flying, I know it’s safe but I just can’t feel comfortable. I would love to sit next to you while you fly. You are the absolute best!
I did my checkride with Nick. Awesome video man!
Awesome! Yup, Nick is the best! Thanks for watching.
I love youtube because you can see life through other pairs of eyes.
Awesome video. I subscribed. I'm gonna get my cdl in a few weeks and after that I'm going to try to get my pilots license. Freakin Awesome view and video. God blees😀
Dang, only a 2 hr flight?? Takes longer than that to drive across Chicago.
More like an hour, no way two.
That's the point of flying.
Planes going like 700 mph in the sky 🌌
@@christophertaveras1691 groundspeed yes, true speed no
that's....about the same amount of time as a commercial flight. his plane isn't magic 😂
Great video. Loved the visuals and the comms with ATC. Top notch stuff.
Hey Max, I watched Premier 1's video of Jackson Hole and I tried to find you and Premier together and I couldn't. So it looks like I was correct...Hahahahahaha PS I have about 5 .7 hours logged towards my private cert. I'm catching up lol. Thanks for the awesome video's
To bad Meig's is gone..... 5 minutes by cab to Board of Trade from there.
If you do this flight often take me with you ! I'm between NYC and Chicago
wow. that was awesome. First time here. Amazing to me to see someone so relaxed about flying. Beautiful!
