Welcome! I am a private pilot and life-long flight simulation enthusiast. Videos in the real world and the simulator are edited with documentary content. From subscriber @jackwoud: “This was another fantastic presentation Flight Level, there are only a handful of people who make such unparalleled beautiful and understandable presentations on RU-vid” From subscriber @mayflynut “Class act Sir! Some of THE BEST and classiest flightsim videos on RU-vid. Just purchased and learning the PC-12 for an upcoming world tour. These and your other videos are a true inspiration.
Regular posts/updates on the community tab! I enjoy everything related to modern and historical aviation. I fly a VANS RV9A airplane, hangared at the Brantford Flight Center - home to one of the oldest flying clubs in Canada. I concentrate on quality over quantity. Subscriptions encourage this non-monetized channel! Channel goal:Reach 10K subscribers to qualify for Fund Raising opportunities.
I absolutely do not wish to make light of this tragic event but can anyone imagine an old grainy black-and-white cockpit with Stan and Ollie at the controls speaking the entire CVR transcript (without swearing) from this accident. 'Another fine mess!'.
Underestimated a short 20-30 minute flight. This is a perfect example of being "behind" before even takeoff. A quality Apex glass cockpit should be learned thoroughly in simulator.
Pretty sure this was Honeywell Primus Apex with Trackball/tiny joystick and no touchscreens. Imo, he failed to maintain airspeed, being distracted entering waypoints, AP kicked off and left him way out of trim, he then failed to trim properly manually, which might have caused crazy alt gains. I doubt if AP will engage in crazy attitude or way out of trim. No offense. Great learning tool for pilots to speculate. Pilot was way behind and knew it thruout. Angry with himself, he simply never recovered his composure. Sad! Simply one of best learning experiences for newbies available. Thanks
Thanks for dropping by! Well a little training in the smaller helicopters certainly pays off when jumping into the larger helis! Great for sightseeing!
Thank you very much for watching. Glad to hear it helped out! Please do consider a subscription to the channel as I work towards 10K subscribers by years end. Cheers and blue skies!
Of the patient’s medical state is bad and requires immediate transfer……then 2 pilots operation should be the rule. Spatial disorientation is the trap but then…..turbulence….AP disconnects at night calls for immediate check of the attitude…….and then…..just then……the heading
This was such a sad presentation, great and detailed to the max, but still sad. I watch knowing the outcome yet the buildup to the event i'm actually cheering them on, "oh good they've leveled out" and then the dag-on stall comes on again. UGH. I'm nowhere near a pilot and even I was asking "why don't they seem to know how to enter the waypoints?" Even I know that!!!
As a flight nurse, when we all got onboard we took a tally, go or no go. If one said no go, there were no questions, no comments, no explanation required. If all 3 didn't agree, we never even hit the APU or brought the cockpit out of cold dark.
I have watched many aviation channels for over ten years. I'm telling you that so you know I am able to tell you with confidence, these videos are good! I'm going to binge watch tonight.
I live about 50 miles from the crash site and remember that night well. It was by far the worst weather of the year, and I remember thinking that it was a good night to be on the ground.
I am not technical at all but you really need to understand technical things to be a pilot. I would not make a good pilot. This is a reminder that all the boring, routine things like checklists and flight plans are actually very critical.
Thanks a million! Such a catchy tune! Some videos that you think will be hit, fail to see the numbers! Only the YT algorithm knows best! Lots more in store! Cheers!
At that rate of descent, it’s incredible that the wings and cockpit “shell” were in as good a shape as they were. Maybe the pilot pulled up at the end?
Hey, thanks for dropping by! Much appreciated! Working on a MSFS2020 recognition video as we get ready to transition into MSFS2024! Cheers and blue skies!
Always very difficult to have to say should have, could have, would have. I was raised in the heat of the Cold War on S.A.C. bases. Plane crashes were always anticipated but never welcomed. Pilot errors and mechanical failures are part of flying. So sad! Never enough to know what happened.
That’s was my first thought. Why is he screaming navigate? Fly the god damn plane! Aviate always comes first. Many many many lives have been saved in emergencies when crews have aviated first then done troubleshooting (or even just taking stock of where they’re at) second.
The hospital should be the ones at fault. Second the pilot. NO amount of money is worth it to fly under a terrible ICE. For one patient they lost five. What a genius of management.
Zero percent chance this was super urgent. Reno has excellent hospitals, the trip to SLC was almost certainly just for specialty care. Bringing a family member along also suggests the patient wasn't critical. Source: flight paramedic.
Thank you very much for your words! Many more analysis videos will be published! Please do consider a subscription to the channel. Cheers and blue skies!
@@TheFlightLevel all the facts were there, the timing of the relevant information was precise, the narrative and linear structure was excellent, the calls of atc helped picture the scene and the resultant post crash analysis summarised and concluded excellently 🧑🏿👍🏿
I am absolutely blown away with how realistic this airplane seriously is! It’s right up there with TMB 850 although I don’t have that. I just bought this instead! Absolutely 10/10! I would recommend this plane for $32.99!! It’s literally amazing! The best turbo prop I’ve flown!! I’m still learning it myself but man! I love this airplane! The sounds are my favorite!! Did they get real recordings??! Cuz it sounds incredible the spool of the turbine is unbelievably amazing! Well done FSReborn!
Excellent video and analysis - and terribly sad too. I had pressure from a business owner that chartered for several stops and a return. On the return the weather got very bad; turbulence, and thunderstorms. I decided to divert and spend the night in some town. He yelled and screamed about it all the way to the hotel ("you'll never fly again!!")....until we were hit with a major hail. storm and the ground shook with thunder. He sheepishly apologized. My condolences to the family and friends of those who were lost.
Single pilot ops are inherently more dangerous than multipilot. There's no fail safe, no support. Reverting to manual flying unexpectedly in nightime, turbulent IMC is a tough job requiring a pilot with solid IFR skills and resilience.
Hey, thanks for watching and commenting. This video is a little slow out of the gates in terms of views, but it was requested so I followed through! The GoPro mounts for airplanes can be purchased from this company flightflix.aero. Great product and solid. Absolutely no issues with any mounts. Cheers!
