Yes, we still fly full procedure turn approaches in a non radar environment. This video shows the cockpit procedures during the descent and approach. Your comments are always welcome. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Thank you Andrew. I am glad that you like the video. I have enrolled in some video editing training to make the videos even better and add some features. However music and other gimmicks will never be part of my videos. Focus only flying only. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Looks like we are old enough to know what a slide projector is.... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D7rgXxU5cpI.html Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Thank you Michael. We can only aim for professionalism in the cockpit. Every pilot - including me - does errors. We need to learn for errors and avoid to repeat them. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Great to hear Andrew. Any specific questions you have about the Caravan, do not hesitate to contact me via my website: www.guido-warnecke.com Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Awesome video, as usual. And in 5k. I've never flown a Caravan, but I've sure fueled my fair share and they are never any fun. Especially in the winter with a 10' "A" ladder with snow and wind blowing like crazy. I always figured I would just hang off the pitot tube to break my fall if things got too crazy. Ha.
Thank you Craig. The Caravan has its challenges, especially when it comes to refueling. Only some Caravans have central pressure fuel ports. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Racked up nearly 150 hours in flight sim in the caravan. Doing a round the world, stoping at all the starred airports and slowly increasing the difficulty level thing. Very glad to see much of what i’ve been practicing, teaching myself and learning from videos like this is actually comparable to real world procedures and switch positions.
Great story Kev. If you have specific questions to the operation of the caravan, do not hesitate to send me an email via my web site: www.guido-warnecke.com Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Thank you for making this and other videos Guido. Your professionalism and skills are something wonderful to watch and aspire to. Hey and the quality of the videos is excellent too, great job!
The detail you put into these videos is amazing Guido. I end up watching each of your videos multiple times just to make sure I catch everything. As an aviation geek, I really appreciate this. Thanks for putting so much work into these videos. And I LOVE the slide projector sound you've added during your slideshow. I'm old enough to remember using those machines.
Thank you for your kind words Tim. We are both in the same age class to know what a slide projector is and how it sounds. Have a look here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D7rgXxU5cpI.html Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Thank you very much! I like the country and people very much. Unfortunately I have always very little time available to explore. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Hi Wim, it protects the engine (in particular the compressor blades). In the PT6 engine, the intake air is routed in a 180 degree turn to the compressor. This alone is a good protection agains debris and particles. The inertial separator, which is in essence not more than a deflector, uses the fact that dust particles and ice fly straight out of the air intake without entering the engine due to their inertia (hence the name inertial separator) while the air (much lighter) is able to make the 180 degree turn into the engine. A complicated name for a simple thing... Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Another great video, Capt. Guido--and perfect chirp-chirp landing! Questions: 1. why did you decide to disconnect autopilot early in the approach and while still in IMC? 2. do you always call aloud checklist items when flying solo? Something I should do! 3. amusing to hear the deep male voice announcing "minimums." I'm so used to the female voice for such annuncations! Many thanks, Mark
Hi Mark, The turbulence was quite substantial (the camera stabilization system has masked that a bit), so I decided to hand fly. I hand fly based in the circumstances, but make sure that I stay current. Of course in single pilot ops you have to use automation. Check list use is essential for flight safety and I call the items out. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Capt. Warnecke, It's always a treat to fly along with you. I am sure that you fly into airports where 'contract fuel' doesn't exist. As the ferry pilot, are you responsible for purchasing fuel at your airports along the way? Are credit cards universally accepted or are the smaller FBO's cash only purchases and if so, what is the universal currency? Do you encounter baksheesh as a matter of course? Are 'customs' an issue or as a transit aircraft are you not subject to visa requirements, etc? So many details, any one of which, could leave you stranded in an obscure corner of the world trying to find the telephone number for your country's nearest embassy. How much of this responsibility, besides flying the airplane, is on your broad shoulders?
Hi Clinton, ferry flying entails complex flying but equally challenging is the logistics around the flight and the planning. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Beautiful video cap! Let me ask you one doubt: as far I can see in the video it seems a wet area with low clouds. With these conditions wouldn't be recommended use the inertial separator during the approach? As usual, thank you so much for sharing these videos.
Thank you. There is no specific rule. Depends on the workload as well. You should use automation as much as you need to. I try to hand fly regularly to stay current. Happy landings, Capt. Guido
You are correct on that Alireza. I have flown a couple of times into KLEB, also procedure turn ILS. Otherwise you see this only on an IFR check ride. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
@@GuidoWarnecke I've flown a procedure turn on an RNAV approach into KCEC, which is a radar environment, but that is because of high MVA/MIA near the airport. What I really like here is how people get to see the position reporting. That approach controller is on the ground just shifting strips around on a board separating based on position reports. This is why ADS-B is such a big deal - it brings radar to so many places.
Hi Captain Guido. As I don't read all comments perhaps is a repetition. "Just" 3 questions How many ferries you must do by month to be profitable your business? Do you have a minimum mileage to accept a ferry? Do you have your own plane? Thks and a great video once more. Another follower from Portugal
Hi Luis, Thank you - muito obrigado for watching my videos. I do approx. 20 ferry flights per year. My ferry flights are all international Like any business it is only profitable if you do things right. Greetings to Portugal & Happy landings, Capt. Guido
@@GuidoWarnecke It will be nice if we meet next time you come. I always wanted to fly across the Atlantic and your videos are great resource to learn and be inspired.
Do you wear full flotation gear when flying beyond glide distance from the shore? Also do you route direct over water or do you route across land as much as possible?
In a turning aircraft I do not wear the suit but I have it readily accessible. In piston aircraft I do. See this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P-reNRMAsOM.html Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Is it me or did the US do the "Check Gear Down" for a while and stopped? So it's still be done elsewhere? What was the motivation for this ATC callout (I mean why not also callout "Check above stall speed", "Check Slats/Flaps, or "Check Fuel?")
Most of the gear up landings are pilot induced - forget the landing gear. Hence a lot of airports still call for it. Very common in the UK. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
By touching the pitch trim, the autopilot switches off and the yaw damper stays engaged. During hand flying I want to have the yaw damper engaged. Hence the use of the pitch trim to switch off the autopilot. Touching the "BRB" (big red button), disengages the autopilot AND the yaw damper. Important is not to forget to hit the BRB before touch down. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Immerhin war das "check gear down" gut gemeint😊... Täusche ich mich, oder habe ich das in Deutschland zuletzt nur bei Military Aircraft gehört? Jedenfalls: Better safe than sorry (und beste Grüße aus Edvk) Benjamin
What are your typical power settings and cruise altitude settings? I fly the caravan for fedex feeders and the standard it seems for us is fly it at 740 itt or max allowed torque since we only fly roughly an hour.
@@GuidoWarnecke The slideshow at the end of the video implied that you flew Malawi, then Djibouti, then Kenya, then Oman, so I was confused about that.
Hello, sir! I have some questions about some systems in C208B. When should I turno on air bleed? It is used with air conditioner in Ventilation or off? And the Oxygen in overhead panel, when should I turn it on? The C208B wich doesn't have the Oxygen in overhead panel, Ones cannot fly over above fl100?
Hi João, what did you mean with "bleed"? You do mean the bleed air heater? In this case it has to be OFF during engine start. very important! You might get a hit start otherwise. After engine start you use the bleed air heat to your needs to keep the cabin and cockpit temperature at your likings. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
