Very nicely done! I've been away from flying professionally for 18+ years and thinking of getting back to it. I worked for a cargo operation in the NE back in the 90's flying a DC-3's, Baron 58s, CE-402, CE404, CE-208's and EMB110's. Way before the G1000 or even the GNS430/530's looks like the new technology makes life and flying a whole lot more fun and less stressful. Thanks for sharing!
Professional Pilot Pete this is my first time aboard your channel and I'm looking forward to getting my IFR Rating to become a better Pilot than before and watching this has motivated me to getting my written exam done after years of putting it off with my busy life and now that I'm looking forward retirement ideas of the opportunity I've had in Aviation it's time for me to move forward with different ideas to learn from approaches like this one I've done in a Piper Warrior with my CFII . I'll be looking forward to seeing more IFR flights from you to continue. This Rating is a hard one to get and it's rewarding when you have it.
just my suggestion.... to all flying A 36 or Barons ill just wait at turn off and stop make my flaps in the up postion . for me it will be better , ABS Member philippines nice video Pete .
Understand completely and I have my students refrain from cleaning up the plane until after clear of runway. I have a flow I use similar to when in king airs, flaps and cowl flaps before getting on the brakes, it prevents sliding the tires if you touch down a little fast, dumping lift, putting weight on wheels. I wouldn’t consider it in older Barons or Bonanzas that have the gear and flaps opposite and less obvious. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment!
What a great video and showcase of your ifr skills! Just have one question. It seems props weren’t full forward and was wondering why that is? Please don’t think this is me judging in any way. I’m in the process of getting my ME and only wish to further my learning/knowledge. As far as my cfi goes, he wouldn’t allow me to skip to what he refers to a vital part of the checklist, which of course includes mixture rich and props full forward (aka high rpm). The reasoning for this is in case a go around is done I could access the engines full power faster than if having to go props full forward and then give it power…🤷♂️ this being said, we fly at an elevation of 1,400ft. Maybe even a slight difference of 500ft could make it so that even if you’re not props ff you could still very safely perform a go around? I appreciate the amazing video and content! Hope to fly something this nice one day…
I typical don’t push the props all the way forward in the Baron, Bonanza, or a King Air simply because I don’t like it revving the engine. I have it at 2500 rpm which is ample enough power in low country. If I am going into a short field or higher terrain I’d do the traditional method, props full forward. During training you should always follow the checklist and procedures taught by your instructor. My technique is more about engine management. Hope this clears it up.
@@ProPilotPete Thanks so much for the quick reply! It makes total sense. My cfi always tells us to go props ff niiice and eeeasy as to not put too much stress on the engine, so what you say sounds so accurate. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
MrGrape787 I’ll take that on advisement. I’ve been making shorter clips on purpose as to try to keep the time down for interest. I hope to get better at the editing so I can group clips together to have the complete flight, editing out the boring parts. Thanks for watching.
Slight suggestion: can you move the speed and heading indicator to the bottom right and make it a bit smaller. It is quite distracting reading it over your head. Also, any chance of an altitude indicator?
Thanks for sharing. Not near as many hours I’m sure as you in the G58 but couple of observations. I go to 2500 RPMs at some point before glide slope intercept so all I have to worry about is going to full throttle and hit go around button if I miss. Is that something you ever do? Also, that seems extremely low to still be on autopilot. Just curious. Seems like flight director down much below 500 ago would be a better choice. Still learning this airplane and would appreciate any feedback.
I leave the rpm’s at 2500 unless it’s a short field or high terrain. Autopilot is off by 200’ agl. I typically wait for full flaps until I break out and see the field, just in case I don’t and need to go missed. I try to get full flaps with autopilot engaged as the gfc 700 does a great job of retrimming the airplane, hope that makes sense.
@@ProPilotPete Thanks for the reply. Still refining my skills and not many G58 videos out there like you're putting out. Love to see how others are doing it. I take the GFC700 for granted. You don't realize how good it is until you go back and fly an older autopilot you used to think was good. I had never used a flight director before this but I hand fly with just the flight director a lot to altitude when I'm not overloaded with busy airspace.
I try to take the things I like about the way others do things and incorporate into my flying. More than one way to do things too. Also things I do in the Baron may not be appropriate for a different light twin, etc. I like using a flow check, backed up with checklist. Also so,e things I do differently are due to the G1000 vs. steam gauges. Thanks for watching and I always enjoy feedback, comments, questions or concerns!
What would happen if you left autopilot on? Would you land too hard? I see pilots turning it off around 400 feet, so I thought maybe autopilot isn't able to actually land the plane.
The autopilot isn’t certified to go below a certain altitude, varies from aircraft. Typically you have to have it off by 200 feet. If you left it on and eased the power back before touchdown, I think the landing would be survivable, and perhaps even usable again. Your sink rate is around 500 feet per minute. Not recommended. Airlines that have auto land can leave it on, but these a certified to do so, along with radar altimeters and special equipment and specially trained crews.
I adopted that technique from a very experienced Baron/King Air pilot, puts weight on wheels by dumping the lift, less likely to slide the tires, which I’ve seen many pilots do.
Explaining what you're doing makes the videos much nicer. Thanks Pete.
I’m going to Koury! Heck Yea!
Thats a beautiful thing ... synthetic vision and then the lights ...
It's amazing to see how you come out of the clouds and runway is straight ahead 👌 👊
That's the way to do it! Brings back some memories of my time in a Baron.

Much easier than old school!
Sir, This is an incredible episode! Thanks and atb Martin
Thanks for watching
Nice job man! Amazing aproach
Love your videos. I feel like I'm riding along. ✈️
Glad to have you along
Enjoyed the Video! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. I’m a fan of yours and look to you and other pilot youtuber’ers when doing mine. I hope to get 1/2 as good as your videos.
excellent approximation, congratulations!

Bernard Anderson that’s great, feel free to reach out if you have any questions. While it is a difficult rating it is very rewarding.
It is super tough, if only people knew....
It’s super rewarding. Nothing like it… enjoy Socked-in days now, more than ever
another great video, Pete. 1RG
Very nice, pucker factor 6
Just awesome!
Great video!
Pete, great video!
Nicely done!
I my 55 I coming down the slope at 17” and 2300 with approach flaps and gear down at gs intercept. 120kts.
beautiful landing
Glad I discovered your channel. I recognize the voices of the controllers at my home airport. AND I fly out of Koury (N4349X, Elon). Kinda cool.
The voices in your head. I’ll be looking for you at Koury!
That was pretty sweet!
appreciate the videos - would be great to see closeups of the scoreboard and gauges
Robert Brown I’ll add that to my todo list. Hope to get some footage on tomorrow’s flight. Stay tuned
Very nice and professional thanks
Thanks
Awesome Video.. Thanks
great report
Garmin 1000 NXi.. ufff...too !

What an amazing landing , the way you kept your nerve , can I ask how long did it take to to get your instrument ratting ?
Probably 6 months or so. It’s been a while. Thanks for watching!
Very nice. Could be flawless if all related clips can be combined into one video
MrGrape787 I’ll take that on advisement. I’ve been making shorter clips on purpose as to try to keep the time down for interest. I hope to get better at the editing so I can group clips together to have the complete flight, editing out the boring parts. Thanks for watching.
Is it possible to install a ballistic parachute on this aircraft?
I’ve never heard of one, not as necessary on a twin. There are some factory built aircraft, single engine that it’s available on, like the Cessna 182.
Slight suggestion: can you move the speed and heading indicator to the bottom right and make it a bit smaller. It is quite distracting reading it over your head. Also, any chance of an altitude indicator?

Who taught you to raise flaps 2 sec after touchdown?
I adopted that technique from a very experienced Baron/King Air pilot, puts weight on wheels by dumping the lift, less likely to slide the tires, which I’ve seen many pilots do.
Good video thanks
excelent soundtrack jajaja
I thought you had to be under 150 or so to drop gear and flaps?
@@pgreenx yes, 152 in Baron, 154 in Bonanza. 122 for full flaps. All in knots. The GoPro speed is mph and ground speed.
@@ProPilotPete thanks. Starting soon to train on b58. Watching all you videos.
Scary as shit when you can't see anything!
Would have been a good approach to have hand flown it. I hand flew everything below 5,000 feet because I always wanted to keep my skills up.
