I'm a retired Air Traffic Controller and commercial (Corporate) pilot. I fly a Cessna 414A now that I own with another person who does not fly, so he hires me to fly the plane for him. I post flight deck videos and external GoPro videos from the left wing and rear of the aircraft. I also love my pups. I lost my Mastiff Bella Oct 23 to cancer (10 years old), and my Irish Wolfhound Maxx to heart failure Feb 24 (12.5 years old). I was devastated. A friend sent me a photo of Hans and we rescued each other Mother's day 2024.
IFR flying is always been my favorite and having the best experience ever is flying with other pilots that have flown in these types of weather conditions
Just came across the channel, I actually ran into you last year! Was flying a 340 and you parked next to us! We were grounded for a little bec of a strut problem with the landing gear!
I am watching with emme and she leaped up screaming "ITS HANS!!! MOMMY COME SEE ITS HANS!" LOL beautiful video she wants to see the others now too thanks!
I had GoPros on the wing and tail, trying to capture the airport after departure. Was a guess and haven't looked at the video to see if I got it on the tail camera. Nice flying with no passengers sometimes.
When I bought my first 414 a few years ago it had been over 30 years since flying 340s, 414s, and 421s. King Airs and some jets came in between. Like riding a bike in a way, but I do prefer King Airs.
Just came across your channel. I'm from the NYC area! You're flying in one of my all time favorite piston twins, ever! Great job! Looking forward to more content!
If I had the money, I'd have a King Air, have a few thousand hours in them. But for a piston twin, I love this plane. Stable, comfortable, capable and a pleasure to fly. Thanks for the comment!
@@caiolinnertel8777, love me the King Air 350, 360 models! Definitely if I had the money I'll be one of those! Right now I'm wishing I had the money for one of yours! 🤣 I have my multi, having flown in a while but looking forward to getting back into it! I'm about to retire from the New York City fire Department. Definitely can't wait to get back in the air!
Greetings from miserable England, flying skills are amazing, I would like to know what the name of the attachment that hold the iPad on the yoke. Thank you !
Nice! Doing some Avionics checks after work and doing some proficiency...so the go - a - round was fun to do. I do like this C414A, very capable aircraft.
Nice! I have no multi time, unfortunately. But I notice that the synchrophaser isn't used much (based on the videos I've watched). So I assume that it's fairly easy to sync the props well manually. Are there any particular flight regimes that it becomes more useful? I already know the phases of flight when you "don't" use it.
Last time I used is was about a year ago, just make sure it works. I prefer to manage it myself, keeps me engaged and I'm just a bit of a control freak. Once off I manually sync at power reduction and bringing power back to 2500 rpm for climb. Don't need to sync often. I'm constantly scanning all the instruments (engine, pressurization etc.) and it's almost without thinking that I adjust the props to keep in sync. For this its "to each their own".

This aircraft is really awesome. In the sim, it has become my favorite! If you could give me a brief synopsis of your power settings for each phase of flight, I'd like to try matching them in the latest update. I'm familiar with the basics, (35/25 climb, 31/23 cruise) but would appreciate more info on your mixture settings and fuel flow targets. Thanks
After take off, 35 inches and 2500 rpm. Cruise varies but 30 in at 2300 is typical. Descent is a gradual decrease to 25 in as 2200 rpm. On final I increase to 2400 rpm and go arounds are 35 in at 2500 again. Mixtures once set for cruise EGT are not touched until off the runway. Once on the ground, before and after take off you need to lean the engines, better for them and run smoother. Hope that helps. My engines are RAM IVs.
@@caiolinnertel8777 Great! One thing that stood out differently than I thought, was leaving mixture setting instead of going full rich prior to landing. Is that standard or pilot preference? I know airport elevation is a factor as well. Thanks. Also, are you a "rich of peak" or "lean of peak" pilot? 😆

Really enjoyed the video. I'm learning this plane in the sim and she's a treat in VR! Saw your comment on another YT video that goes into details and showcases the MSFS version, that's how I found your channel. Having only flown single engine Cessnas, Pipers and a Super Decathlon IRL, it's a pleasure to see how you fly and operate this beauty! Thanks 🙂
Oh, thanks. I've flow twin Cessna's for decades, in the 1980's then when again in 2019. King Airs mostly in between when work (retired ZDC Controller, and Engineer for FAA). Very stable and capable aircraft, but given their age do eat up maintenance $$$ but it's worth it for the capability and price.
@@caiolinnertel8777 That's awesome. Sounds like a rewarding career and passion. You were flying in the '80's, as I was getting into flight simulators on my C64/Amiga and IBM PC clones. I got my PPL in '98 at TEB (when there were a couple of schools there). Flew on and off over the years (hobby). No longer current, so I use the sims to keep myself entertained (MSFS/DCS). Several years ago, I visited the NY Tracon out on Long Island. I enjoyed observing the other side of the PTT button, haha. Oh BTW, I'm a Controller as well, but not that kind, lol. I'm an Electrical Systems Controller for the Port Authority. Which means I operate the high tension switchgear from a Control Room and no longer get my hands dirty installing/maintaining it 😂 I could retire, but I enjoy what I do and it's not stressful, so I'll probably hang around a few more years.
What a beautiful boy I'm so sorry for your loss thank you for taking such good care of him ❤️ RIP beautiful soul Maxx ❤ please keep doing rescues it's much needed be well
A beautiful video! I know the feeling, I've been there too. I lost my Bailey 18 months ago, after 10 years together. Life will never be the same, but we must try to focus on our memories of all the joy they brought us and vice versa. Your video tells me that your dogs had a good life as beloved members of the family. I hope in the future you will be able to watch it again!
