Thanks! This was a good one Jeremy and enjoyed watching it. I think it’s called, being human and making mistakes, but also being human correcting the mistakes. Love the automatic heater turn on feature of your gyrocopter.

Thanks Ralph!

Jeremy, you should try to fly to Apple Valley or Hesperia before you tackle Big Bear. The updrafts from the heat and winds on the front range are probably what you were encountering and later in the day, they become stronger. I cut my teeth flying ultralights out of Apple Valley. Never had the cajones to attempt to fly to Big Bear from the backside, wasn't in my comfort zone. At some point, I'll get to do it in a Gyro. I start lessons with Henry next month so I have a lot to learn. Maybe start heading up the mountain first thing in the morning when it's calmer but, you would be returning during the heat of the day so that's to be considered. I'm sure if someone was with you the extra ballast would have helped give you more stability. Great video BTW.

Good call...funny on the cabin heat...I was hoping to fly my Gyro with instructor last Saturday...20mph straight cross with gust dictated otherwise...glad he said no...

@brian60093 Месяц назад

Knowing your limits is probably one of the most important things often overlooked in aviation. As a new gyro pilot my tolerances have gone way up even since training now that I am flying alone. Every flight offers opportunities to learn..

@DavesGyroAdventures 10 дней назад

Good call Jeremy, we should all fly within our limits. It’s better to be on the ground looking up than…..

Better be safe than sorry. thanks for the example of being responsible with yourself and others....bravo

I’m glad you did this video- I feel like it’s important for people to be reminded that it’s better to be safe than to push your limits and be sorry! Good job!

Despite mistakes which you identified very quickly you displayed great airmanship by not going to your planned destination while still enjoying your flight, all great experience and learning.

A transponder would have been useful. Relaxed radio conversation needs some examination -- Notice the long pauses by ATC.

@AdventureAir Месяц назад

Transponders are in use working.

@robertheywood141 29 дней назад

Excellent flight! Thanks for sharing so we all can learn. I can't help but wonder how the environmental stressor being hot (cabin heat on) affected your mental and physical performance?

@AdventureAir 28 дней назад

It was definitely distracting. Dehydration was also a factor I'm sure, so that with the altitude changes could cause headache and fatigue.

@lagyro Месяц назад

Did you expect the winds at these altitudes based on preflight planning?

@AdventureAir Месяц назад

The local weather at Redlands and Big Bear didn't indicate any chop or downdrafts at the time of planning. Skyvector was used.

@lagyro Месяц назад

@@AdventureAir What was meant by my question was, did you check the wind speeds and direction at various altitudes on whatever app you preffer, and then compared to see any great differences that might contribute to the turbulence you encountered. In any case, good ADM on your part to not push it... I don't believe in getting out of the comfort zone when you are intending to simply have fun.

@lagyro Месяц назад

@@AdventureAir What was the expected density altitude at Big Bear for the time when you were sipposed to be there?

@AdventureAir Месяц назад

+@lagyro I no longer have the FP but I'm pretty sure it was around 7500 that day.

@lagyro Месяц назад

@@AdventureAir Do you remember checking on how much your aircraft's performance would be reduced at that density altitude?

The holy moly had me laughing out loud, . Haha

@Olympus_318 Месяц назад

Can you apply tint to the front glass and doors? I've seen tinted canopies on fighter jets for better vision. That would avoid the sun beaming down on the pilot's face and passengers. Just a thought, or is it illegal 🤔

@AdventureAir Месяц назад

Yes, you can apply tint to the windows. 🙂

@lagyro Месяц назад

Big Bear is a very challenging airport for a solo visit early in one’s flying career. How many other airport visits do you have under your belt? I would suggest to exhaust all local airports and use those trips to build skills and experience, then venture into more and more advanced skills…

@AdventureAir Месяц назад

I've flown through Ontario class C, to Cable and Brackett. French Valley and Corona multiple times. I've flown the rotorcraft transition below LAX dual. I've flown to Redlands dual in R-22 as part of my helicopter PPL training. If you follow my series, you'll see that I'm expanding my training with other more experienced pilots that have over 1000 hours in low, precision flight like crop-dusting. This would've been my first high altitude flight through mountain terrain and I briefed with both of my flight instructors who believe I am prepared for the flight.

Jeremy, Did you take Ground School?

Yes

@mhw745 Месяц назад

Always listen to your gut. If you feel uncomfortable, abort the mission. Great call. Safety first. Mountain flying is different because of up and down drafts.

@DennisEnderle-ng7jb Месяц назад

Jeremy, In the video you said you made a mistake. I think it was just the opposite. You evaluated your situation and made a good decision. That is not a mistake. That's a trait of a good pilot. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Great video. Good to see some errors. Thanks for being honest enough not to edit those out, especially the cabin temperature!

@AdventureAir Месяц назад

Yeah I couldn't believe how hot I was getting! It was a warm day but man I felt like I was in a sauna. I remember sliding the armrest when I was adjusting my position in the seat during flight and but it never occurred to me the cabin heat was activated. I don't mind showing my mistakes if it helps others to learn and makes them safer.

@stevenscott-yt4zb Месяц назад

It’s how we learn Jeremy, going through some of the same in my training, love your videos, I learn something everytime

Better to be safe than push an uncomfortable position or feeling. You have good judgment and you can get into a bad situation in a heartbeat. Good job!
