Love your weekly videos. Really appreciate the ATC. Im studying out of cyfd and have my ppl flight test coming up and these videos are fantastic. Thanks for recording and posting
@@cherifbar the lower G5 acts as a Directional gyro, but can be quickly configured to be an Attitude Indicator and visa versa. It is slaves to the GPS 175, so it displays a fair bit of information, but to get the most out of the equipment I’d need to add a Garmin autopilot, which isn’t in the budget. It’s still pretty sweet though. And by getting two, it gave me 15 pounds of payload by taking out the vacuum system and some unused wiring, instruments and antennas.
@@skyhawkadventures9374 that sounds very impressive. I quit flying after nearly 40 as a fixed wing pilot about 14 years ago. Unfortunately I never got to try any of this glass panel stuff. The nicest plane I got to fly was the Baron 58 and it had an analog HSI and RMI, something I found very useful because it reduced the work load quite a bit. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
@@cherifbar you’re welcome and I’m glad you enjoyed it. By today’s standard of glass cockpits, mine is pretty basic, but I still love how it reduces the work and increases accuracy and safety. The Baron is a sweet plane. That must’ve been fun to fly.
@@skyhawkadventures9374 yes it was. I used to fly out of the now closed Edmonton Municipal Airport back in the early 80’s for an energy company. Having an RMI was a blessing up north, as many approaches were non precision NDB approaches. Please don’t ask me what the Vmc for the Baron was because I don’t remember anymore. I get to fly vicariously through delightful videos like yours. Thanks once again.
question for you, once you leave the st Thomas area after take off are you flipping over to 126.7 for the remaining trip or do you flip over to the CFA(common frequency area in the practice areas) when you are in there as well? just curious, I tend to listen and report when I am in those areas and then flip back to 126.7, enjoying the videos...
Great question. I use 126.7 until I get into the area of the frequencies listed on the back of the VTA chart. If able, I’ll still monitor 126.7 while on the other frequency as many pilots not familiar with the VTA Toronto frequencies have stayed on 126.7. Also, editing removes context so you may not hear a whole conversation that actually happened. Glad you’re enjoying the videos.
@@lunarorbit that’s radio noise from the strobes on the tail and wings. I was trying a different way of recording communication, but this is clearly a fail.
awesome takeoff from not glendale. what a great day you captured.
@@ilocke2007 not Glendale? What did you mean?
Thanks for flying along!
Love the aerial views that I would never get to see in areas I’ve driven by on the 401,402 400 etc. thx for videoing for us.👍👍
@@rickbullock4331 thanks for joking me on this flight.
I always enjoy the scenery in your videos. What an incredible experience!
@@abdullahalmamari5950 thanks for flying along. Lots more airborne fun to come.

@@Jer29 great to hear. Unfortunately, editing chops out some of the ATC, but glad to hear you’re enjoying them.
Really enjoyed your video. The belly cam shots are great too.
Glad you enjoyed it.
8:08, to each their own. I would pend my "hard" earn money on a different style house complex. This looks like a "container" house!
@@josemarino4270 I hear you. I still love seeing the things I can see when I’m flying that I might not even know are there.
Just love the fancy avionics. Can the HSI also function as an RMI?

With inflation being what it is, should that not be the $200.00 hamburger these days?
@@cherifbar the $100 hamburger still exists on shorter flights, but this one was probably about $180 in fuel and $20 for a burger 🍔 🤷♂️
What is the beeping noise whenever your mic is active?
@@lunarorbit that’s radio noise from the strobes on the tail and wings. I was trying a different way of recording communication, but this is clearly a fail.
@@skyhawkadventures9374 The views from your cameras make up for it.
I'm flying to that airstrip in MSFS right now.
