A landing at Ingwelala, South Africa on a dirt strip. Procedures in the cockpit are explained. Your comments and suggestions are always welcome! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
I’m so in awe of you sir. You fly on countless types, of all different countries of registration, meaning you must not only be type rated on a large number but also across aviation boundaries. And every time you fly, to all these exotic and challenging destinations, you do it with the utmost professionalism, and share your wisdom with us. My hat is off to you sir, truly one of a kind.
Beyond professionalism. I got my instrument 5 yeras ago , life turned out different for me, hope to get back to airplane and get commercial. You are inspirational.
@@GuidoWarnecke Hello Captain Guido! No apologies needed, we know you are a very busy guy. Looking forward to seeing you fly again. I always enjoy going back into your catalog of previous flights. Thanks so much - it’s so so much fun and I learn so much. Happy holidays!
Hey, Guidooo! Da bist du ja! Und dann auch noch mit meinem absoluten Traum, der Buschfliegerei! Wunderbar! All the best to ye, and as always happy landings! 👍
Another video I've added to my "how to fly properly" playlist to use as reference in the C208 in MSFS in VR - I love your videos, they're so educational without trying to be 😊
@@GuidoWarnecke I have X-Plane 11 and 12 and they both also run great in VR, even though I only have an RTX3060 GPU. I was mainly using XP11 for helicopters due to the lack of proper support for them in MSFS but that is all changing now, especially with the 40th Anniversary update for MSFS and the B407 that came with that update. I got XP12 last week and although it has much better scenery/graphics than XP11 they are nowhere near to that of MSFS. But who cares, as long as you're enjoying yourself, which I am!
I recently discovered your channel and it is really amazing. It is so incredibly resourceful and easy to follow. Thank you very much for posting these videos. I'm working on my instrument rating (very new) and seeing you do approaches on your other videos have helped me understand it better.
Thank you for you kind words. Best of luck for your instrument rating. It is all much easier in "real life" as you might experience it during your training. Please keep me posted. Happy landings, Capt. Guido
Thank you Chris! The Blackhawk e gibe is based on the PT6 with some performance enhancing modifications, e.g. compressor and air intake. Google their website. Great company. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Great flying and completely professional as is always displayed in you’re flying. Hopefully one day you can pay us a visit down here in Australia and experience some of the wonderful flying and sights that we have in Australia 🇦🇺✈️ safe flying. Regards Michael
Thank you very much Michael. I come frequently to Australia. The next schedule ferry flight is in a C208 from Hawaii to Perth. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Of course, I had to find Ingwelala on the MSFS 2020 world map (it's not listed as an airport) and fly into it in the Caravan, virtually, haha. Incredible flying, Captain! Always great to see you at work. Cheers!
Hi Capt. Guido. Another awsome video. This time w/ co-pilot👍. Hope you`ll present us w/ another one before christmas. If not, receive wishes of a merry christmas & a happy 2023 with happy landings votes from Portugal
Love your channel, Guido! You inspire me to keep pursuing aviation as a career. Your experience flying various types of aircraft in different parts of the world is admirable.
Thank you Peter! Best wishes for your flying career. There will be a lot of challenges but keep pushing and don’t accept a „no“ for an answer. Please keep me posted. Also check my web site: Guido-Warnecke.com Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
@guido - Before Landung on a dirtstrip, I always prefer doing a low flyover to check conditions for debris and holes. but sounded like you got a local copilot familiar with the area with you! safe Landings
Hi Frank, we did a fly over (cut out of the video) to check for wind, runway condition and to chase animals away. Best would be always to have a person on the ground, but we did not have this. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Mr. Warnecke, I have just watched about 15 of your videos for the last several hours. I’ve been following you for around ten years now. I have watched many pilots over the years. Sadly in my 20’s I got training all the way up to a few solo flights. I went up and the winds picked up well beyond forecasted winds. My home airport at the time was w52 now called kigx. Tree line pretty close to runway and with the cross wing I had a lot of turbulence as the wind came over the wood line. After two go arounds it really rattled my nerves so I broke out of the pattern and just went straight and level to get my nerves settled, my hands were shaking it scared me so bad. I got on the what if repetitive thinking and started feeling panicked. Being alone and lacking confidence. Ten years later then age early 30’s I retrained, soloed several more times but I could never shake my fear and I did a three point hard landing being so self absorbed in my own thoughts. I’ve been so in love with flying my whole life and these failures to finish have been one of my biggest regrets in life. I’m now 52 and doubt I can overcome my fear that has been so deeply entered into my internal memory banks. I settled on a career of being a air medical dispatcher for a large North Carolina hospital. I’m humble but honestly I was told many times I was the best in my job by many people along the way. Many communicators I trained about flying I used your videos in their training. I would say if you can be as good as a communicator as this gentleman is a pilot I would sign off on them being released as a competent dispatcher with my name behind it. Not many made it past our standards of perfection as you I do not compromise in any way. I just retired after 30 years in that line of work. I tell you this to explain to you the deep gratitude I have for all you have taught me over the years. I so wish to be a pilot and own my own plane and if I ever do, you sir are the role model that I would strive to be like. Sheer professional and all business when it time to go flying. To say I have the deepest respect and admiration for you would be a grand understatement. If you are ever in North Carolina or Virginia and have a lay over I would love to meet you. I hope you take to heart how many people like me who get to go flying because of your selfless hard work you share with those of us out here that are unable to fly for many reasons but love flying. I just wanted to thank you so much from my heart! You are a very special member of the aviation community! You’ve always got a friend in North Carolina if ever I can be of service to you because you have brought many joys to my life experience. God bless you and keep you safe in your travels.
Morning Guido and Thank you for all your videos which are in every way beautiful. Just one question: What is the difference between the two IAS indicators (or it's my eyes) ? Thanks you ans see you soon on Corsica Guido.
Your eyes are excellent Sébastien! There was a miscompare between the 2 ASI’s, with the left one the correct one. Has been rectified. Thanks for watching my videos in such detail and Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Great as always, thank you! Why aren't you allowed to touch the flap lever on runway when in single pilot operation? Is it to prevent a subconscious false retraction on take off roll?
@@trizzleseven in any aircraft it is advisable to maintain standard procedures. Any pilot flying a fixed gear aircraft might have the desire to fly a retractable gear one day. Happy Landings, Guido
I haven't seen a Guido Warnecke in a long time. I don't know why. I've been subscribed with the notice bell. Maybe the youtube software doesn't work as well as it's supposed to work?
Thank you Spiro. These are completely different airplanes. But they have one thing in common: easy to fly and very reliable. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Thank you Martín. As a single pilot you get easily distracted and may mix up flap lever and gear lever. One could say „the Caravan has a fixed gear“ but it’s important not to train bad habits in the first place. Every pilot will eventually fly aircraft with retractable landing gear. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Hi Isam, there was sufficient runway available. The speed was actually less, around 70 knots. The left airspeed indicator showed correct, the right one over read by 10 knots. Maintenance corrected this already. Check it on the video. Thank you. Happy landings, Capt. Guido
IF you dont mind me asking, did you have the camera setup on some sort of Gimbel Device and that was why it keep tilting from right to left and on the bottom of the plane, was that some sort of extra storage compartment????
If you have a moment for a question - why do you suggest that a single pilot not touch the flap lever on the runway. (I have some ideas, but as a student, I'd prefer to not potentially confuse myself.) Thanks for the detail and insights, plus the flights into amazing places like this!
Hi Jay, In a turn you have to control airspeed very careful. Some pilots say you should not extend flaps in a turn because of the possibility of an asymmetric flap extension. Most aircraft have a protection against this and stop flap movement if an uneven extension is detected. I would say as long as you control the airspeed in a turn it is ok to lower the flaps also. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
I had to look up the aircraft, as it was clearly not a standard engine setup, more like a Kodiak. It seems to have changed engines after 2009 (photo's from that year show the typical PT6A Caravan exhaust on the right and none on the left). Is it a Honeywell powered 950?
Well spotted Peter. The aircraft is equipped with a Blackhawk modified PT6. Good ion "hot&high" operations like in South Africa. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
@@GuidoWarnecke As a matter of fact, I worked in the area (Phalaborwa) for a short while back in the 80's, and my first flight as a passenger was in a Comair F28 from that airport. That flight would land at Skukuza and then head on to OR Tambo.
Maybe a weird question but do you see the nose of the plane during the flight? Iam asking cause I fly them in the mfs and I want to fly her as realistic as possible
I apologize for the late reply Dennis. The view is somewhat obstructed by the front of the aircraft. In the sim you might be able to shift your point of view somewhat upwards, try it out. That will make the landings easier. Let me know if this works for you. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Ed besteht die Gefahr, dass man statt den Klappen das Fahrwerk einfährt. Glaubt man nicht? Ist schon oft passiert. Ablenkung kann single Pilot leichter passieren als Multi-Crew. Aber am besten ist immer: nach dem Abrollen auf der Bahn das Flugzeug zum Stillstand bringen und after landing checks machen. „Say-look-touch“. Flaps identified and UP. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Hi Sergey, The problems arises if you fly an airlift with a retractable landing gear. More than once, pilot searched to the wrong lever and retracted the landing gear instead of the flaps. So it is about preventing to learn bad habits. In certain situations you can do this, but be careful. See this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NtRRBOcgjM8.htmlsi=5tW5I_H9ldk0hPRf&t=141 Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Hi sir, where are you from? I'm really to be a pilot, but now I don't finish my high school. One day, I hope meeting with you. I'm Sem Sangvat, from Cambodia 🇰🇭.
