Cessna 310 CHECKOUT, new airplane! flying on 1 engine, TWIN ENGINE airplane, Complex FLYING 

Yep, Chester’s got a good demo there. I use flaps 15 for landing. If I need flaps 30 for landing distance, I roll em on short final after landing assured. Good job saving money being prepared. Memorize the fuel system and the air speeds. Gotta get me some of them seat covers…;-). N1886H 1959 C310C.

EVERY new plane I've flown in I sat in it first, spent time looking at where everything is, even took pics of the panel so I could study it more at home. I like the idea of running thru checklist items.

Chester sounds like the one everyone needs. He talks thru all instructions.

Multi-engine has so far been my absolute favorite training thus-far. Even moreso than my CFI training.

That guy is a good instructor, very calming. Nice job thanks for posting.

It's a trick to control a twin on one engine for sure. Great job Jason. I always learn or am reminded of something when I watch your videos. Thanks.

At least your CFI gave you a heads-up before he cut one engine - mine did not. He will just yank the lever randomly and say "Simulated engine fail, what's your next move?" Or he will just cover one of the instruments and say "your Attitude Indicator just took a shit, you have one dead engine and you're in the clouds, what's next?" A hardass instructor, but I was thankful he was.

I have to say, getting my twin rating prep with Chester was a real fun. He is the most professional, knowlegable and patient instructor (Well, Talbot is right up there) I have dealt with. Flying the 310 on one engine is intimidating but prepared me to fly my Shrike at ease. I fly with him any day! Thanks for making me a better pilot.

Multi was my favorite part of training.

Ground flying the airplane is an awesome way to go. When I was getting my PPL sometimes I would sit in there and visualize the whole flight, all the maneuvers, radio calls etc. Saves you time and money!

Man. this brings back memories to twin training. One thing I really don't miss is the swinging feeling of the asymmetric thrust. Also the wawawawa loudness

Great video! I flew that very same Cessna 310 also with Chester at Mach 5 to build up my hours so I could qualify for insurance on our 310. It was kind of neat to see someone you've been watching on RU-vid for a couple of years fly the very same airplane that I did. Your suggestion to sit in an expensive plane before you rent it is a very cost effective way to learning where everything is in the cockpit and how to go through flows quickly. This is especially true when you don't have the pressure of the engines converting money into noise. The performance of a Cessna 310 is pretty good as long as you follow the "single engine drill." Good job on your simulated single engine landing.

Pretty decent landings esp on the single engine

You finally got to meet up with Chester! He’s such a great flight instructor. Always a pleasure flying with him.

This is extraordinarily useful! I just got my PPL, had an interstate move and I'm using the training for complex and high power endorsements as a way to familiarize myself with new (much more complex) airspace. I'm upgrading from a warrior to a six which is a lot of airplane for me (and a lot more expensive!). Dry time is definitely helpful for getting started.

flew with chester a few months ago doing an Archer checkout. he’s a fantastic CFI! so cool to see him on youtube!

Jason its really cool to see you take some training! I hope one day to see you at my home field at KRIU

started my twin time at KTOA - southwest skyways in the mid 80s...they had a Aztec..a new C303 Crusader ..(also had access to a baron ) and a 1980 T310R....my instructor said if i learned to fly the 310 by the numbers I could fly anything else...i took his advice you learn to fly the 310 by the numbers..stay sharp and proficient and it's a delight to fly

He does the same thing I do teaching multi. as i'm talking I will always call out 3 green on short final. All of my students and myself check gear 3 times before landing never just once. Very Cool video, different from the others with the single engines videos!

Love the videos. This was a great example of what I can expect in the future, but for now, I'm a student pilot and all the lesson videos are great as I like having things explained in more than one way. Thanks for the content!!!

Hey my instructor, Chester! Love that man!

Pretty wild, the POH you pulled up is the aircraft I did my Multi Engine class rating in. Love flying the 310 landings are always a lot of fun. Great video!

Cool to see you in my stomping grounds. I have done quite a bit of training at Mach 5, and keep my Cherokee 180 at Lincoln. Romeo Romeo is a beast!

Even though I have no desire to get a multi rating, I sure do enjoy learning some of the nuances of flying a twin. I always say any day you learn something new is a good day!

Great advice about being checked out in a new airplane. Thanks.

I always get nervous when I get checked out for a new plane I never flew before... So I always do my homework and study and chair fly but I still get nervous but always seems to be good for my check out flights. Thanks for all your great help with my flying career I only fly GA airplanes

The FI was very good imo, calm and helpful

Love Lincoln airport, great fuel prices and friendly folks. Getting ready to fly a different plane, great video

Very good! Now if that was a 310 Turbo, your Emergency Landing Sequence would be very different. (That's just for Pilots that are thinking of getting into a Twin Turboprop Aircraft.) But for a Twin Piston & Prop Job, you did everything just right! It's a challenge to fly ANY Twin with an Engine Failure, but ALL Pilots should be "Typed" by an Experienced CFI anytime they get into the Left Seat of a New Aircraft! Reading The POH & sitting & doing "Dry Time" is a Tremendously Good Idea! That gives you insight into what you can expect from your Aircraft before you ever take your Twin up! Also, Running The Checklists are a crucial part of getting to know your New Aircraft! I've got 20-plus more years of flying time, (Over 40 Years,) & I'm Commercial Air Carrier Rated. I'm retired from flying DC-9'S/MD-80'S, & 737'S. I Own a Citation III & Cessna 172 that I fly around for pleasure & I'll occasionally fly Charter Flights in my Citation. With the Airlines, I got in The Habit of ALWAYS using my Checklists, & I still do to this day, no matter how redundant it seems. It's a Good Habit!!! The only Aircraft that I own that I don't have an Industry Checklist for is My Hang Glider, & I made up my own after attending a Preflight Ground Class. My favorite Hang Glider Flying Friend is a Retired F-18 Pilot. He liked my Checklist Idea so much that He made a Copy for Himself! It doesn't matter how many flight hours that you have or years that you have been flying, always get "Typed" in every new Bird that you sit down in, just like this 20 year Single Engine CFI did! I Typed my Late Cousin-In-Law, Judith Reznik, The NASA Astronaut, in My Citation, Just About A Month Before "The Challenger" Mishap. Even NASA Astronauts/Flight Engineers looking to Pilot future Shuttle Missions need to be Typed in Every Aircraft they fly! The life you save by doing this will definitely be your own, & whoever is On Board with you & whoever might be beneath you if you're caught off guard in an Emergency! Thanks for posting this video to show that EVERYONE needs to be Typed & NO ONE is Too Experienced to Learn Something New! There are too many G.A. Airplanes going down & killing Our Brother & Sister Aviators!!!!

I love the 310!! Be save, flight save!!

That brought back memories! Thanks. I grew up on the airport Bartlesville OK. My Dad was an instructor and corp pilot for Cities Service. Well my favorite show was Skyking. This was about 1965 or so. Then one day I was told there was room in the back seat of the 310 while he checked someone out on instrument flying. WOW. Well, I puked. I have been in planes 172 twin beech, all sorts. But I puked on my favorite plane, back seat.

I love flying 310RR. She's a beast! He should've pulled number 2 engine. Left turn with number 1 at full power is a hand full. Lots of rudder to keep the ball somewhat centered or you'll be in a huge sideslip... kills the performance.

Dry seat time...that seems so obvious now, and yet I never thought of that before upgrading to the 182 last year. I'll be doing that for new planes in the future, thanks for the tip! Brilliant!

Great video. Before dry time in the airplane I photograph the panels of a new airplane for study away. 310 is awesome twin.

Great video! Good points on checking out in a new airframe. No flying video would be complete without a Cirrus on a 10 mile straight in lol

Nice to see Jason in the hot seat for once!!

Chester is definitely worth every penny. Ciao, Marco.

I got my Multi Engine rating in the 79 C310R .... a really nice plane.

This is a brilliant idea and it literally applies to anything in life, although I did alright in school, it's taken me 15 years after leaving to mature enough to realise that practice does make perfect. Repeat rest repeat, never try to cram, as you will forget it and that time you wasted cramming additional knowledge is time you could have taken mastering the knowledge you have. What I've writen is my own matra of learning, not what others should do. As someone who had flying lessons aged 12-16 and was playing msfs 98 since I was 10 years old, I don't think any PC sim should be used to cut corners either. I'm sure most pilots don't even bother with them. But new pilots inspired by sims who have the money to spend on real flying lessons should be briefed properly on what VFR flying is! Thanks for your videos man. Sorry I went of on a few tangents there.

4:25 That frase makes everyone take it serious. Very important to say that old saying to the student 🙂

Awesome and good job Jason!

Great advice! Looks like a blast.

Great tips which i would hearedlg endorse. Know your aircraft before you fly it.👌 Thanks Jason. Patreon sub coming up.

I have to ask, have you taken the “3:10 To Yuma”? You got to now!

This is like gold. 😀

Demo-ing is good, real world bring flaps up as necessary after adding power b4 you get behind power curve

The 310 has always been a hot rod. Coming in on one, sure didn’t give you much time to even breathe. Great job!

Another great informative video

Man, that's a lot. Great video and I think doing some twin engine training would be good experience for everyone. But if I'm flying my family around I'd take one engine and a parachute over two engines and a high likelihood of me being the probable cause of the crash. As it stands I can't afford two engines or a parachute, so like most owners I'm counting on having somewhere nearby to set down "gently".

Hi Jason!! I'm currently in training to get my commercial multi in the 310, but I'm having a hard time getting a good sight picture for landing. I was wondering if you had any sight picture that I could try out when I go out to fly next time?

Chester is great, no doubt! If you want access to a rented C320 at KAUN, I can help with that. A little bigger, faster, higher, more load than 310. Better single engine performer. I just bought a 320 that I haven't taken delivery of yet. It's still AOG in Torrance getting new engines. I'm excited to get her up here to her new home. I'll be based at KLVK, but you'll see her on the ramp at KAUN a bunch as I continue IFR proficiency work with my CFII in Auburn.

super cool vid. I know this fbo.

At least the second engine will give you some extra time to find a suitable place too land.

310s are great airplanes.

Excellent video Jason!! Is this going to be your next airplane?

New to the twin game...does the POH specify a bank into the good engine in the C310R? Wonder best how to nurse it around the pattern if an engine was lost after rotation. Great advice to go sit in the airplane and learn what you can on the ground with the engine off and the money counter at idle ;-)

Get an aerostar 700…. They climb great with only one engine operating.

Your single engine landing in a twin engine plane is better than my single engine landing in a single engine plane. Good info!

If you're at like 300+ft AGL when you lose an engine, and if the POH says you can climb on 1 engine given your current weight & density altitude, should you consider cleaning-up the plane, feathering the dead engine, and just going around? Setup for a long straight climb, get a bunch of altitude, come back around slowly with shallow turns above Vyse, and then make a high approach that requires little power to maintain glidepath on 1 engine with gear & flaps out? Maybe consider landing with partial-to-no-flaps?

İ have 310 r milviz ,if power cut thereshold, you have hard landing ,not power off landing twine engine

Look to buy a 337

Some good stuff but too much selfie stick

Didjya make hangar flyin noises? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrvroom! Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrvroom! Pilot to Tower, Pilot to Tower, come in Tower!

May I ask then…is there a SAFETY advantage to a twin over a single? Can’t stay aloft on one engine. And if you lose an engine, it’s difficult to control.

Really enjoyed watching this but I was sweating bullets the whole time. A good friend of mine was a flight instructor about 10 years ago with oodles of time and a twin checking out a guy and a twin he had just bought.older. The flight path went right over the top of my office. I watch most of the morning just doing regular flying and then they started doing engine out procedures. Shortly after that I heard the sound of ambulances and firetrucks. We’re not quite sure what happened but we believe that they pulled back one engine at low altitude and then feather the good engine accidentally. They never did recover and pancaked into an onion Field. Neither one of them went home. So when you were doing the demonstration I was sweating for you. Good job

Is the 310 your dream plane, on your short list list, or is this just for giggles. It’s hard to decide what to get bc everyone has different opinions and weighs pros/cons differently. Sorting through it all is maddening

Can I point out that turning into the dead engine is much more dangerous than turning out of it? Not to say one shouldn't turn into their dead engine but watching the bank angle because without decent airspeed there won't be a lot of pressure on the lower dead wing to level off.

Isn't a turn toward the dead engine less controllable than banking toward the live engine? If you have a left engine failure should you fly a right hand pattern back to the airport if possible?

Arguably your not 'in' the pattern if you can't make the runway with single engine out. You think that's true?

Cessna 310, commonly known as the death bird. Seems like the most frequent aircraft that shows up in twin engine accidents

Really makes you think about safety huh. With two engines the chance of a single engine going out is twice as high, and if that means you're going down while having to worry about asymmetric thrust... maybe you'd rather want to be in a single engine aircraft with no thrust at all.

That guy on the RNAV 33 was annoying

Of COURSE the Cirrus pilot, 10 miles out on an instrument approach on a clear day is claiming a straight-in for himself. 😒

I could see head tremors on the gentleman sitting next to you. Is he developing Parkinson's?
