    FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
    I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience - I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve.... Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.

      how much does it typically cost to build a bear hawk like that with that avionics kit?

      Nice Plane! Who else gets to fly with you for a scenic view of Vancouver to Horsebay? lol....I pay gas/oil? lol....

    @jimallison117 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This one brought back memories. Back in 1980, I took my dad for a Vancouver flight in a Piper Archer. We departed from Vancouver Intl., flew to Point Grey (i.e., U.B.C.), then transited the harbour zone and flew past Simon Frasier University to "Pitt Meadows, and then headed back to YVR via Burnaby. My dad trained in fly Tiger Moths and Avro Ansons near the end of the war, so it was an extra special flight with extra special scenery.

    Very cool video Mr Chops! Looks like that airplane would be a lot of fun to fly around.

      Hey steveo, fancy seeing you here, I follow your channel too. I was here because I'm a piper instrument man, lol.

  • @michaeltaylor258

    I love this channel so much. The episodes are edited so well this could be a television series.

  • @Cpsvids
    @Cpsvids 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    Have to agree. ATC folks are awesome here in Canada and good to us VFR guys. Even when I burble my way through a request they are patient and understanding. Your low and over at YVR was phenomenal - what a treat! John and I got one at Hamilton in his TB20 a couple of weeks back - not quite as cool, but man are those big airport runways ever long! So to any Nav Canada guys who see this - Thank you!

  • @benjaminfallon7009
    @benjaminfallon7009 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Oh I sure miss flying in Canada, especially taking friends on tours in the lower mainland. ATC was always a pleasure to earl with.

    The Daughter is so glamorous with those shades, and its cool how much she likes flying, and the wife is wearing Chops old sunglasses which again is really cool to see.

    • @FlightChops
      @FlightChops  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      For sure! My wife loves the Albatross Scheydens - For this ep I was wearing the C-130 frames. I got those ones in the Polarized lenses for hanging out at airshows, but I don't fly with polarized lenses.

  • @Bank_left
    @Bank_left 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks Steve. I haven't been home in many many years. I started flying at the Pitt Meadows airport. I had the pleasure of growing up there and that airport was my second home.

    • @FlightChops
      @FlightChops  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wow! So awesome that you grew up with that field close by - it is a dream airport!

  • @schnitzelmopi
    @schnitzelmopi 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    As a former controller turned pilot, I love these videos. Very good points all the way through. I love having my instructors ask me controller questions; it's nice to break down that barrier.

  • @Concorde707

    • @bradwilmot5066
      @bradwilmot5066 6 ปีที่แล้ว +12

      Kennedy Steve did that once with a 380 behind a C172 "Caution propwash". LOTS of mic clicks after that... :-)

  • @skusemepeash2910
    @skusemepeash2910 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    This has got to be one of the best Flight Chops videos to date. The production quality was excellent. Content was very informative. The chance to see some of the beautiful Canadian scenery in a very unique aircraft and get a low and over of YVR 08R. I had a chance to fly in FBH w/ RVH and it was one of those eye-opening aviation experiences that make you say to yourself, "I can't believe I'm doing this right now!"
    Top shelf boys! Keep up the great work!

  • @rickylarch
    @rickylarch 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    That's my backyard! I got my PPL at ZBB and my CPL out of YVR before the landing fee was implemented. I think you can land a 150 sideways on 26R. I guess that would make it 35S LOL.
    Looks like you had a great time.
    I have not been flying for quite a while. You have inspired me to get back in the air.

    I'm working on an FAA UAS license with hopes of following through with a private pilot license in the future. Hearing from an ATC/pilot about his perspective on workload is something I would not have thought to ask. Thank you for sharing such insight.

    @Sammington1313 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Love this video! Makes me feel as though I can be a lot more confortable speaking with the controller - not as scared to be completely professional the entire time.
    Also your daughter pointing things out was absolutely adorable :)

      Thanks Sam!

    • @pacificcoastpilot
      @pacificcoastpilot 7 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Controllers are human too and usually the bark is worse than the bite. Just relax, communicate clearly and be ok with needing to change your plan. Truth be told, while we got the low approach at YVR we also had to orbit for 10min to wait for a hole in the traffic. Steve's daughter almost got sick from the circling, so every request has its potential cost and downside. ;)

  • @ColinPrenger
    @ColinPrenger 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Awesome vid! Really enjoyed it. Last night I flew from Brampton to Toronto, ATC were patient with as I'm terrible on the radio a lot of pausing:(. The ease in which Ryan spoke was enviable but I will learn from him and definitely be more determined to not limit my flying adventures cause I don't want to speak to atc. Thanks Mr Chop's and great plane Ryan.

    I never knew there was a Tower up there! I'll have to put it on my bucket list to schedule a tour and watch ATC from the Canadian side. I've been controlling since 1994 and I have family that I visit in Surrey and Vancouver quite often.
