ACTUAL RADIO FAILURE ON DEPARTURE! 

Kim, Task saturation can be very confusing to non pilots. When you start doing cross countries as a student pilot you will start to better Juggle information and also learn to prioritise your actions. Don't worry

The back story on KTNT: it basically came down to the fact they could never get the environmental folks on board to build a huge airport in the swamp. In addition it was kind of built to handle the supersonic aircraft that were under development in the 60s. Those never materialized for similar reasons. Nobody wanted to hear sonic booms and then the price of fuel went out of sight. They had went ahead and built the single runway but could never get permits to build the rest. So they used it to train pilots for PanAm and Eastern which were heavily Florida airlines. Still do for folks that fly physical planes to train but again the cost of fuel and maintenance make it more economical to train in the sims. So it’s an airport without a real purpose.

No GUMPSS? Seatbelts Shoulder harness Switches. Bad girl Kim. Thanks for the explanation at the end. Was wondering if it was a jack, the audio panel or a radio.

Enjoyed the flight. Reminded me of when I was flying out of DAB with Embry-Riddle and I filed a VFR flight plan. I told FSS I was flying from Daytona Beach to Fort Lauderdale Exclusive. The guy laughed and told me I really meant Executive, but it is pretty exclusive.

So Kim, rules are fly the plane, navigate and then communicate. If you have a total radio failure, you can change your code to indicate to air traffic control that you having a radio problem. That code is 7600.

TNT was designed to be the south Florida International airport and to replace MIA/FLL/PBI/RSW/APF/FMY but as other have said the environmentalist shut down the process. Their plan was to have high speed rail from all those cities and limited parking actually at TNT. The ATC tower was officially opened just before the 1981 air traffic controller strike and closed immediately after, and never to reopen. You can land and do touch and goes there. You have to get a permit form off Dade aviation website and fax it to the airport manager. I believe the permit is good for a year. Touch and goes there seem amazing in the fact that its a 10,000 foot runway in the middle of no where

Kim, it takes a while to deal with navigation, instrument scan, looking outside scanning for traffic and radio conversations and in your case listening to your instructor. it will become easier as time goes on.

Love seeing how you handle issues real time, great video! Keep em coming!

I just loved the way you handled the situation! Sorting priorities, with IMC ahead, I found it quite inspiring. Hope both of you are doing well. We’re starting another lockdown, I will have time to catch up on your videos 🤪

KTNT was going to be part of the cancelled American SST program. Notes on the airport in Foreflight say you need a permit to land, not much there, but a lot of daylight traffic.

I enjoyed the video, yes, thank you for sharing, filming, editing, all that stuff so regularly. Also thank you Kris for your comments at the end of the video explaining your actions regarding the comms failure. Greetings from a gusty EDKB in Germany, Andy.

I remember when Ft Laud Exec was a very frequent landing spot. Doesn't seem too long ago. Nice way to handle the comms problem and great response from Avidyne. Love how you and the lovely Lady K work together. Thanks for sharing.

I appreciate all the work y'all do to make a good video.

Look forward to your vids each week! Thank you for taking the time to produce the vids!

I tell my wife trade her in for a new model. Free to leave at any time soon as my future wife graduates high school. Kidding of course we've been married 36 years. I'll be lost without her. You two seem to get along as well as we do. Got 2 have a sense of humor. You guys are the best together.

Thanks for the chuckle tonight you two! Great vid!

Always fun to ride along thanks for sharing this guys. Handled the radio hiccup like a champ as in always fly the aircraft first communication last

I enjoy the videos. Kim you are easy on the eyes.

Welcome back to the East Coast. I'll be waving at you on your trips up/down V3 from KMLB. Hoping to see you again once Sun&Fun is happening. Great video and great lesson on handling a problem.

The story of KTNT: The Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, originally known as the Everglades Jetport, was slated to be the largest jetport in the world (5 times larger than JFK Airport in New York, in fact). In the late 1960s, due to the increase in the number of jet aircraft, it was decided that a new airport was required to handle the ever-increasing number of long haul flights. Additionally, the development of the supersonic Boeing 2707 and the impending introduction of the Concorde prompted the development further. Since supersonic aircraft are quite loud, not to mention the sonic boom that results from supersonic flight, the developers chose the Everglades as the location. It is remote, and its proximity to the sea on both sides of Florida meant that supersonic aircraft could accelerate to supersonic speeds much sooner. However, an environmental analysis showed that the Everglades would essentially be destroyed due to negative effects caused by the development of infrastructure. The airport project was eventually cancelled after the completion of just one runway due to local pressure and the cancellation of the Boeing 2707 project. The airport remains open, though access is limited. It is now known as the Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport, as it was used heavily for training operations such as practice approaches. Nowadays, it is rarely used, as its role has largely been replaced by simulators. I have flown over KTNT a couple of times, and it is quite strange to see a large runway in the middle of nowhere!

That was fun...love watching u all fly..congrats on new job...hope house hunting goes well...lv and fly safe❤

Congrats on the new gig!

Really enjoyed this one

Thanks for another great ride along!

Great video!

Nice flight, Folks. Too bad about your avionics gremlins. Good talk. Thanks for sharing.

Another great video!

Thank you for another great video.

Happened to me on departure but joined with a friend @ pactice area PX AZ & joined in formation, fellow student pilot to fly back to sky harbor PX & landed in formation with his radio and lead tower communication . Thanks to our instructor Ray Carnahan that taught us well with formation flights in his WW2 fighter days along with many tips for flight emergencies ! License in 36 hrs ; 35 minimum !

Great video as always.👍✈️

Good luck with the new gig. Hope its not an on demand charter ops. Busy busy. Tell Kim nice nail color.

@Flying SIC that task saturation moment is a great learning tool. Noticed you were on your phone when Kris was lining up for takeoff. It's hard to catch up once you fall behind. Fly the flight in your mind with Kris on the controls and you have a better chance of staying ahead of the aircraft. Get that PPL. 😎👍

At 9:51.." our weather is usually over the land or the ocean"...LOL!! Isn't that pretty much standard worldwide. Reminds me of the time in college Speech Class when a fellow classmate while talking in front of the class about his car made the following statement..."I make most of my turns to the right or to the left"...(insert class laughing hysterically)... just poking fun. Love the videos.

Missed the Kiss Hence the radio issue!!!! Always very enjoyable! Thank You for taking the time to make these videos for us!!!!!

Congrats on the new 135 position Kris!!

Great Video! And, I picked up 3 Ts 😎

My 540 does the exact same thing every once in a while. It clears itself up like yours did. Mine is out of warranty and since it clears up pretty quickly I am just living with it.

Avidyne comes through again! They are superb at customer service in my book. I'm happy I have an IFD540 from them, hopefully I'll be able to get the IFD550 sometime in the future. Also thanks for sharing this flight...we enjoyed it! :-) Don/NE Ohio

HAHAHA Kris, brilliant minds think alike - "band camp" was the first thing that popped into my head when she said that, LOL! Oh, and I loved the guy tripping over the pipe, enhancing your audio during your comms follow-up - glad you left that in! I LOL'ed!! And I agree on Kim's shirt - I like it! it can be interpreted 2 ways - the universal symbol of love, or, the way my mind interprets it - throwing the devil horns at a metal concert. :D " 'Cause I'm T - N - T ... ! " I agree with Kim's assessment - I do the same through RU-vid - observe, and try to see if I can reasonably predict what's coming, and see what I'd do during a failure that draws your attention away from everything else. Definitely not easy. I'd probably need a bit more training than most, since I'm a terrible multitasker - as in I CAN'T do more than one task at a time. I can hardly talk to passengers when driving sometimes, like when merging into traffic. Practice makes perfect I figure. I always enjoy watching how you guys manage that. I remember the feeling of watching guys that drove tractor-trailer before I started driving - was very intimidating, but after a year or so, I was right in the mix with them. A quick note on the notification bell - I relied heavily on email notifications for all my RU-vid subs. It was much easier for me to go though and watch them in the order they were received. Since they ended that, everyone's videos gets lost in the mix on my phone, since I'm subbed to 150 or so different channels. If I get multiple notifications in one day, some get lost in the shuffle. Wish RU-vid would bring that back! I've seen my own view count, as small as it is, go down since the change as well. Great stuff as usual Kris & Kim! Congrats on the decision to move "home". That's great!

Hey Baron & Kim. Just catching your video. As usual, very entertaining, and educational video. I’ll have to check out those shirts for sure. Kim, what did you do to your arm, and how are you doing with your PPL certification?

You were saying you would love to have an FTO. Well Warm Springs Airport ((5A9) does not have one at this time. Full hangers, fuel operation and an hour from Atlanta. Airport authority is looking to expand the hangers as it is so expensive in Atlanta and that area.

Great soft field take off Kevin! I saw you start to raise the nose as soon as you advanced throttles to get the pressure off the nose gear. I always wondered how the 310, especially the short nose, did on a soft field. To me, the nose gear looks fragile. (Stronger than it looks)

76 - bang on them sticks, lovely flight otherwise. Thanks for letting us ride along.

I know just how @FlyingSIC feels about being overwhelmed with all the activity, including a comms failure! Often happened to me my first several months of training, nearly made me give up because I felt so inept and concerned about the implications re safety for me, my wife, passengers, folks down below, etc. But persistence, and lots of chair flying (or being a copilot, which is probably even better), pays off, as things become 2nd nature, even failures. (PPL checkride coming up on the 15th, Wx permitting!)

Hi, screen cleaning might be an option too. 😀 A lot of finger prints there. 😎

When I saw the image on Kim's shirt that song popped into my head...."Ground Control to Major Tom, Take your protein pills and put your helmet on". "Now the papers want to know whose shirts you wear". "Ground control to Major Tom, your circuits dead, there's something wrong". "Can you hear me Major Tom?" Perfect huh?

I am a huge space buff so those T-shirts are right up my alley! Thanks for the tip! I ordered 2 of them! Kim and I can be twinsies now since one of the ones I ordered was the one she had on! :D

Hey Kris when you have an FMS that pretty much can read your mind I would keep what you have!

Great video. 2 questions. First Kim’s arm what happened second do you have a hanger there as well? Thanks looking forward to your next video.

Kris, Kim is laying the "Smackdown" about the touch and goes.🤣

Hi guys love your videos,. Question, who is the band in the opening of your videos?

heard something about TNT was initially developed with supersonic traffic in mind

Kris you know the solution to any audio problem, Shure 58! Might not be perfect for the job but always works kkkkkk

Luv u both, different color nails are for 13 yr olds ....great job flying

Handled it like a pro

coral springs practice area been there !!!!!!!!

Hate to see you both leave PG but good luck on the next stages of your lives.

Try Delray Beach, great town

Baron: Can you explain the wind direction angle with reference to your planes heading? Is zero degrees straight out the window? If so, do the degrees count clockwise - that is would 90 deg then be at the right wing tip?

Actually right after departure is one of the best times. If you can't trouble shoot and its really a failure, just rejoin the pattern with 7600 and look for light gun signals. Now, comm failure on approach in IMC with heavy traffic, now you have yourself a fun situation.

Kim is right, you need to do so TAGO’s 😄

So, when your comm failed, did you just start using the one? How did you remedy the problem?

Guys, I lived in Fort Myers Beach for a year and then Cocoa Beach for six years. I would take the Gulf Coast anytime!

Chris, I love watching your videos!!.. I have a question that I can't seem to get an answer for, I'm looking at buying a E55 Baron with a Avidyne IFD550 and steam gages for the six pack. Is the Garmin 500txi compatible with the Avidyne ifd550 ?

Thx for the video! Q for you - it seems your FF is linked to the Avidyne; I assume you had filed on FF, so why not PUSH from the iPad to Avidyne, rather than entering the FP on the Avidyne, then receive it on the iPad?

Thanks for the ride along, what caused the radio problem?

Where did you say you wanted the "resumes" sent to for SIC??

From wikipedia: Begun in 1968 as the Everglades Jetport (also known as Big Cyprus Jetport), the airport was planned to be the largest airport in the world, covering 39 square miles with six runways, and connected to both central Miami and the Gulf of Mexico by an expressway and monorail line. The airport would have been five times the size of JFK Airport in New York. At the time, the Boeing 2707 was under development and it was anticipated that supersonic aircraft would dominate long-haul air transportation. South Florida was viewed as an ideal location for an intercontinental SST hub due to the limitation that such aircraft would have to fly over water. Because of environmental concerns and the cancellation of the 2707 program, construction was halted in 1970 after the completion of just one 10,500' runway. Although the airport was left abandoned and unfinished, it was still retained by the local government as a general aviation airport and (to a greater extent) training airport. It was originally heavily used by Pan Am and Eastern Airlines as a training airport, as the long runway at Dade-Collier could accommodate aircraft as large as Boeing 747s, and was equipped with a relatively new instrument landing system, which allowed pilots to train for landing with low cloud ceilings and/or poor visibility. The isolation of the airport meant that it could be used for training flights 24/7 all days of the year without interfering with the traffic at Miami International. In more recent years, the advent of flight simulators has made such training flights less economical, and the airport is now used much less frequently, although it remains open to general aviation.

I wasn't able to copy down the address for resumes for SIC.....

That is always a sickening feeling. I've had it happen once, ugh!

Seems like on dept your receiver worked but your transmitter failed. From an ATC perspective that’s not a big deal. A good controller sensing this will ask you to ident. If they observe an ident the controller can provide service with the pilot acknowledging with the ident. With a series of yes or no questions with yes being “ident” you can receive almost normal service. As a pilot don’t let a radio failure distract you! Controllers will watch you closely, aviator and navigate, controllers will keep all other IFR traffic out of your way. I was confused when asked “why so quiet” the controller said “reduced staffing”? Normally with reduced staffing RADAR positions are combined up and you should hear more transmissions since a controller is transmitting on more frequencies at once. The staffing is reduced because the FAA ATC facilities were on 5 days of work 10 days off! Pretty good gig for same pay!

I like real world of operating a twin engine and the electronics. Made dead reconing passe. Showing the channels and phone number of airport and does it show services offered. To replace airport manuel's as a trucker you had truck stop and exit book to show what each exit offered and show what big shipper and recovers at each exit or alot walk mart and other dcs are by exit ramp. Your book can be outdated when new places open or close

Hey, I.K. it is merely cosmetic, but those mixture levers could use some touch-up paint. Cheers. (from a follower with mild OCD...) 😬.

I love the “I love you” (in sign language) astronaut shirt!,

QUESTION -- Why are there no videos of you flying the Citation?

The moment you said,.."send your resume..."i heard a can of whoop ass pop in my ear😂😂😂

Kim...you gotta sharpen your spotting skills girl! Well, if you’re gonna do a touch and go a 10,000 foot runway is the place to do it. Thanks for the comm update.

Touch and Goes accelerate tire wear ....

What are the two devices on the dashboard next to the compass? HUDs? Defrosters?

Aviate, Navigate, Communicate.

So, did you ever report your comm failure to ATC?

Isn't it about time for another plane wash????? (Asking for a friend)

Bonjour J'apprécie énormément vos vidéos. Mais j ai été suggestion. Pouvez vous prendre des passagers. Amis ou autres. J'ai fait beaucoup de baptêmes en montagne Mon plus grand plaisir c'était de constater le changement de comportements des passagers en la piste ou çà discuté ferme Moi j'ai fait ci moi ça. Et quand la machine arrive au bout de la piste .altiport. avec une vu sur la vallée miie metre plus bas GROS SILENCE 🥰🥰🥰 ATTERISSAGE CETAIT ENCORE MIEUX CAR LE PILOTE ARRIVÉ PLUS BAS QUE LA PISTE ACCÉLÉRER JUSTE UN PETIT PEU POUR REMONTER ET GARDER UN FILET DE GAZ CAR LA PISTE ET EN PENTE .BIZARREMENT LE SOURIRE REVENAIT 😃😃😃😃💛💛💚💚💚👍👐👐👍J.D

What was the communications failure cause? How did you fix it?

So is this new employment hauling passengers? What type a/c would you be piloting.....

That airport was originally designed to handle supersonic jets when the Concord began flying.

has kim started her flying lessions yet??? maybe its time to buy a house in a flying estate so you can keep the baron at home

It's def good to have engaged passengers. Some of us don't have friends or family that want to go fly :(

Nice video, does the house in south Florida mean we see less of Punta Gorda ??... I enjoy seeing local sights here...

Ft Lauderdale after St Augustine major culture shock!

HEY KIDS GREETINGS FROM PERTH WESTERN AUSTRALIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you carry a portable with you in case this happens?

I did this frightliner with heavy load. Run time boing 737 was faster my road speed at night

How is your student flying going Kim?

Kim should remember ATC are there to help her. She’s still the one actually flying the plane.

Is it just me, or do Kim and Kris look a lot alike? I realize they are a couple, but they could be related, Just sharing my random thoughts... Love the videos.

Guess that means it's time to get rid of the piston and get a turbine. HEHEHE!!!
