Cessna 310 Flight Operations/Cockpit Tour from Raleigh, NC to Palatka, FL /May 2018 

Arthur, you are one of the most unassuming, professional, competent, cool, and heartwarming guys, best to you always, and I hope you , your family and your career ends up being a splendid journey

The only guy I know that gives you a blow by blow. Is a fantastic teacher in a great classroom!

The sound of the engines and the warm cabin would put me to sleep pretty quick.

Thanks Arthur. I’m a new pilot and somewhat overwhelmed at the radio and avionics management and find your videos very helpful in connecting the dots. Thank you for sharing your skill with us.

This aircraft was designed and built by the greatest generation..you can tell everytime you climb behind the yoke. Solid and powerful..I love it..miss mine.

ARTHUR YOUR VIDEO FROM NC TO JACKSONVILLE FLA 5 YRS AGO IS A GREAT ONE AS WELL AS YOUR C-310. I AM RETURNING TO FLYING AFTER 22YRS AWAY AND HOPE TOO GET A C-310. OF COARSE AN OLDER ONE LIKE AN 310D MODEL. MARK SAN FRANCISCO CALIF.

First saw your 310 ownership vid on Airplane Intel. Stoked I found your channel! Love learning about the 310 and hope to own one at some point in the future.

Very nice video-Im from Palatka-born and raised now living in Memphis.Tn-will retire in about two years-interested in learning to fly-looking to purchase a piper mirage soon-thanks

These long form videos are AWESOME! I feel like I am there. Thanks, Mr. Billingsley!

Enjoyed you talking through your flight steps

Thanks for the flight Mr Author, I really enjoy your videos and the interview you did on your background and airplanes.

thanks for sharing. The 310 is my favorite. if I bought a plane it would be a 310. but jets or ok if you can afford one. watching this video make me want to get certified.

Enjoyed the flight , as a skydiver I have enjoyed many jumps at Kay Larkin. Nice to see it again brought back some fond memories .

You Rock!!! love your videos on the 310. We are looking around to purchase one for traveling to and from Florida.

Love the videos! The most uncomfortable part of a flight on a hot day is when they tell you to line up and wait, and you don't have air conditioning. You have to close the door and sit there with no airflow.

Excellent job love your patience in explaining what everything is

Nice flying n a good solid aircraft, thx for sharing

Beautiful job Captain! Always a pleasure watching your videos. I would sit right seat with you any time!!!

Excellent captain a true professional I wish I could spend time with you and watch with repetition cause I’m a slow learner and I can’t stand the heat I hope you get your a/c working soon !

I loved your flight, being from Alaska I am used to cooler temp. so thanks ,you would be a great instructor with your calmness thanks Sourdough Bill !!

Beautiful Video thanks for sharing. -Private Pilot from The Bahamas🇧🇸

Enjoyed that little trip!

Great video. Take a flask of ice water with you to cool down.

Seems like a portable ac is a real need for general aviation pilots on those hot days. Thanks for pointing out everything you touch or think about. It really brings the footage to life. I finally sat in a dv-20 and will do an intro flight soon.

I have just spent 2 minutes - on and off - trying to wipe some schmuk from my iPad screen. It was a bug on the Cessna windscreen. Fun video.

Nice job. I really appreciate the long videos. Thanks for sharing!

Love the video's man. Makes me wanna get into aviation. Very cool stuff!!!!

Thanks for the video, always very informative.

Great vid, so much fun to watch, thanx dude.

That was work, Capt! Great job!

I did my tower controlled, primary training, at RDU in a Cessna 152 twenty years ago. Haven't been back since. The sights on departure still look familiar though along with the Sandhills VOR. I'll bet it cooled down quite a bit at 10K feet. Thanks for the video.

I really enjoy your videos. Keep them coming.

Just caught this video and your channel. Thank you for taking so much time to put these quality walkthroughs together. Subscribed!

Great vid dude, I enjoyed every minute of it and nice lookin plane too.

THANK YOU SIR FOR UPLOADING IT.

Thank you for keeping your channel up - I wish I had discovered it a few years ago. Great content, and you do project exactly what it means to own and fly a plane like yours. Your information has been very valuable to me in deciding to pursue aviation at my 50+ years. Thank you for that.

Really enjoy your videos . You always seem to be relaxed n in total control. Nice bird, I hope to buy one soon.

So cool! what a blessing! i cant wait to be able to do that! another great vid! i especially dig the end sequence with yer drone. u should keep that with some added credits and music lol

Awesome video, very entertaining. I like when people are nice enough to show their cool things, and an airplane is a very cool thing to have. I've watched this more than once now, subscribed.

Really enjoyed this video!! I'm an old Viet Nam era rotary wing guy but I still love fixed wing ops. Really appreciate you taking the time to do this.

Great video, I loved every minute of it.

Great flight Arthur and thanks for info on which clouds to avoid flying through👍

I really like these video's informative for a guy who never finished Instrument rating. Liked preflight when they lost your flight plan and you wipped one back on line pronto. I learned much...thanks Again!!! I always had trouble descending at the wrong time and coming in too hot from a long trip at altitude. just didn't fly enough to refine that.

Great video

Great video!!!

Great video, thanks for the flight.

Beautiful plane

Just too cool for school my friend really enjoyed the ride.

Awesome video I’m definitely interested in obtaining my PPL & Flying All Over The Country 👍🏽

Truly enjoyed this video, I am in training and it is good to see real time procedures at a fairly busy airport. Please continue to contribute to the aviation community. Godspeed.

Hey Shipmate! Found your channel from the vid you did with the Pre-Buy guys! Love that 310! I am working on my privates right now.

Beautiful aircraft and very nice avionics sir.

Great video.

Enjoyed that, thanks!

Nice video my next plane will be 310Q.

Excellent.

Thanks!

Really enjoy the videos. Placard the HSI "inop" if it's not working.

In the few videos I put up, I always struggle with doing a full flight or just edited 30 min videos. I've got a whole catalog of vfr and ifr flights I'm just too busy to edit and put up (for no one's amusement other than my own, really). But I love it when other pilots put up long videos so maybe I'm just overthinking the whole thing, lol.

Wow! If it was 95°F outside , one can only imagine what the temperature was inside the plane before start up.

Good ole Raleigh

nice work sir

Great flight..gud insights..

GREAT Vid

My home field. Many departures on 23L.

WE HAD TO WARM UP THE PLANT FOR 24 HRS. BEFORE STEAM ADMISSION AND BLOW DOWN.THEN WE WERE READY TO ANSWER ALL BELLS.

You don't Completely trust Autopilot but you do...I feel the Same way about My Big Truck GPS😅👍🏻

Is very nice of you showing us all your gueges what show your orgnazied person looking to meet you one day

Это прекрасно!

Excellent landing. 1/15/2024yr

well done

Great airport, been there few times.

As a sport pilot, it's interesting to see how the other half live. My cross country experience is limited to flying to the middle of nowhere. I would have to say that talking on the radio is my least favorite part of aviation! The nice thing about flying experimental is cheap avionics. I have ADS-B in/out, weather and AHRS. Since I avoid controlled airspace like the plague, I usually just fly NORDO. I have received much consternation from other pilots for doing so. However, the future of aviation safety will involve ditching the intrusive distraction of conventional comms. The irony is that everyone who has complained is of greater means than me. Why is it I can see them on my display but they can't see me? Or, for that matter, they could just look out the window :-P There are some experimental aircraft which would meet your needs and either give you greater speed or lower operating costs. Have you ever considered building one? I'm A&P certified and I would be unlikely to ever own a normally certificated aircraft because of the financially uneconomical nature of the beast. My ideal commuting aircraft would be something like a Lancair Propjet :-)

Thoroughly enjoyed this flight! Especially now that I'm learning the Milviz 310 in VR in MSFS. Haven't flown a twin IRL yet, but boy what a blessing it is to be a pilot. Under what conditions would you go full forward on the props for landing, or do you keep them set as is?

Good job your a bright young man i thought runways had to be 150 min. feet wide and taxi ways had to be 75 feet wide min. Thanks

Sic airplane, I wish I had one like it.

Just discovered your channel, love your videos, but 93 in that humidity? Doesn't that feel more like 212?

Btw I would bring a cooler of ice, it might help a little. Till u fix your ac anyways.

Be careful in the storm

Hey Mr. Billinga great video. I'd love to fly along with you if you're headed out from Raleigh again anytime soon. My multi/ifr training was done in a Baron but I'd absolutely love a chance to fly along in a 310. I can get myself back to RDU so longer flights could be great but anytime you could use a right seater just let me know!

Piloting and sweating!!

I might have missed during the part where you went over the panel, does your panel have flight stream ? Great plane btw.

WOW! You certainly picked a hot one to fly home. I can just imagine how hot the cockpit must have been while you were waiting. It didn't help that foreflight did not file your flight plan. RDU seemed pretty busy with parked aircraft, I guess for college graduation as you mentioned. One quick question, can you send your flight plan from the I Pad directly to the Garmin FMS? Once you have the FP entered, you are good to go! Great Video as always! Have a good one!

310 and a hot day

I enjoy watch your missions because you are very informative. I'm considering buying a 310q while im getting my PPL. What do you think?

HOO MAGIC BIEN ESTADOS UNIDOS EL PAIS DE LA LIBERTAD Y LAS OPORTUNIDADES .

Watching the propellars stroboscopically slowed down by the videocamera, it seems the left rotating slower. Does that make a difference in direction plane veers? Is it something that you try to get ratating similar speed?

That closing was DOPE! You have a drone too?

Hi, great video, very easy to understand. 2 questions Do you have a 400 a/p n does it work well? Also do you use any kind of alarm / etc for fuel tank changes

I love your videos! I am thinking of buying a 310. Is there an AD on the wing spar?

How did you film that last shot of you storing your plane and leaving? Looks like a drone shot? Cool!

I notice on your hold short you ran up both engines then cycled the throttle on each...was this to check oil pressure and or throttle? I been watching a lot of these videos to get used to communication to and from the air craft and flight preparation...thanks for posting

i m interestd in th cessna 310 tho these flights ar usually not necessary > a car or bus or train is best > visits to myrtl bch &hiltn head & othrs ar fun

I like the channel Arthur. I’m a fellow 310 owner, 310Q in fact (69728). I am in the market for a tug and noticed you were using a handheld. May I inquire as to the make and model of the unit? Do you like it - how well does it work?

I see you have a combination of flat screen technology and all of the steam gauges. Is it worth it to modify such an old aircraft? Nice visibility!

Is it just me that noticed during taxi the starboard [pax] door was ajar. Is that normal for taxiing? I see it was closed when you line up for takeoff.

I noticed the window decal for inflating the door seal prior to takeoff. How is that done? Just a switch on the panel?

All you need is an extra 100knots. think you would ever upgrade to a rocket aircraft like a king?

What happened? Will we ever see you flying your 310 again? Best wishes.

It looked really hot in there. What happened to the AC? Are the AC's fickle? costly to maintain? please tell us more .
