Cessna Skylane at 19,000ft - cockpit video - must see! 

Thank you very much, Jay! Yes it is a bit unusual at the beginning but perfectly safe - and it adds a lot of speed to the aircraft. Happy Landings, Guido

Guido Warnecke It certainly does! I've never flown a C182 but I've flown C172RGs (including N172RG) and a C340 before. I no longer fly as it's too expensive for me but I am studying to become an airline dispatcher.

Thank you! I can understand you decision Flying has become very expensive. The AVGAS prices have not come down with the gas prices for automobiles. To operate a pressurized twin like a C340 is very very expensive. Best of luck for you career change & happy landings, Guido

Guido Warnecke Thanks!

TAS was around 155 kts and ground speed sometimes above 200! This Skylane is a fast cruising aircraft. Happy Landings, Guido

+Howard Brown Thank you very much, Howard. All the best for your flight training & happy landings Guido "train like you fly and fly like you train"

You are very welcome, Marc! Happy Landings, Guido

Es ist so schön zu sehen dass hier deutsche Piloten in meiner Gegend sind! Ich hatte Freitag meine fünfte Flugstunde für meine PPL! Ich wohne in Ohio, garnicht so weit weg von der kanadischen Grenze! Danke für das informative Video!! Viel Spass

Get the 182 RVSM approved, if heard its possible

Great video nonetheless

12:40 I laughed so hard... ;D

Until the one point that a latent threat isn’t picked up and only emerges at the very point it becomes essential and guarantees you a leading role on air accident investigations. Never become complacent with checklists folks, it could cost you and they are only there because of hard lessons learned by those who didn’t always live to tell the tale

In general I agree to you Paul. Checklist use is very important, and I advocate this in most of my videos. In less complex airplanes like the C182, any check list will do. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

@@paulb7200 I don't pilot planes, and would be bad at checklists myself. I am kinda disorganized (ADHD), and don't always read instructions on things. ツ But hey, without checklists, many aircraft have crashed. Most crashes are human error. Always check your fuel, surroundings, engine parameters, electronics and control surfaces.

Thanks, my "video maker" friend... Happy Landings, Guido

its great at 5,500 feet, I dont know about FL200

Wish I kept my 162 idk why I sold it, though I say the same about my cub and 172 I have a bad habit of buying meh airframes restoring them without enjoying them. I started as a A&P mech, longest I ever kept anything was a Beechcraft for a year

I should correct myself to be clear and not sound ungrateful it's kept a roof over my head during lay offs and other bad times working in aviation but the old birds are getting hard to find now either scrapped or just not worth the trouble, last 2 restos were crop dusters and they are not the way to make money tightest pilots ever

Shawn Davie I own182 RG if I fly from Utah to California at 12500 and 13500 returning no problems!

Thank you, Ricardo. It is far less complicated than it looks. Happy Landings, Guido

Flying is fun and approachable - think about all that you have to learn to drive. But you must have a safety mindset

Yes, I love the GTN750!

John Kelly It is expensive, but worth the money John. Happy Landings, Guido

Guido Warnecke amazing, I am going to make licence in my country. Have all land vehicles licences but ... need to fly. Nice video :)

Lukasz Macczak Hi Lukasz, I hope you can start your flight training soon! Happy Landings, Guido

Well To Bad Now…You Now Have 778 Likes! Because Of Me!

+Nihou Réda Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

Great video as usual. Did you fly over water? I didn't think it was that far. Also what do you use to edit your videos?

***** Hi Mohamad, we flew over the lakes but at high altitude. Emergency equipment was on board. I use various video editing programs and I am still learning on this. Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings, Guido

Thank you Guido Warnecke Was the route 1,200 NM due to the airways you followed? I did not think that this route would be over 1,000 NM.

Guido Warnecke You Have A Boeing 777 Likes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get It?

Edaan Friedman Thanks!

Thank you, Steve! More videos are in the works. Happy Landings, Guido

You are very welcome Julian. I apologize for the 9 years delay with the answer... Happy Landings, Capt. Guido If you have not done already, please subscribe to my aviation channel and turn on notifications, so you will not miss any new videos.

what kind of camera do you use?

Joshua Sutherland Hi Josh, I use a GoPro3. A good product. The battery life could be better. Happy Landings, Guido

Guido Warnecke How did you get comms through to the GoPro?

Gary Hall a special cable ill try and source it for you

Joshua Sutherland Awesome, Thank you.

Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you very much, Emma. Happy landings, Guido

Thank you very much, Ethan. RU-vid gives me the statistics of average attention span of my video views: it is around 7 minutes. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you very much, Peter. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you for "riding along". Happy Landings, Guido

+Peet du Toit You are very welcome Peet. Greetings to South Africa (?) and Happy Landings, Guido

You are very welcome, Frank. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

only my pleasure. Thank you for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido

Hi Michael,/ the C182 is probably the best family aircraft. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you Randy. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you very much, Joseph! Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you - greetings back to you. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you! More photos of the aircraft here: flightaware.com/photos/aircraft/CGERD Happy Landings, Guido

Guido Warnecke the dog looks especially proud!

+Bluearc101 Thank you! I am glad to enjoyed the video. Go get your pilot's icense and check this out yourself. Happy Landings, Guido

Abir Kareem Thank you very much, Abir. I hope you can fulfill your dream of flying soon. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you, Paul. A nice landing deserves some cheering from the passengers... Happy Landings, Guido

Pressurized I hope. New wing and prop de-icers , flying high

Rob Ster You do not need pressurization. You'll note that Guido is wearing just under his nose an oxygen breather (as is his passenger). Because the Skylane is Turbocharged, the engine runs very well at FL 190. The maximum certified flight envelope for the T182T is 20,000'. Prop de-icing is an option on all 182 T model's manufactured by McCauley.

Doug Hanchard Thank you Doug. This T182T has pro de-ice. I hear there is an STC out for an electrical wing anti ice, but I do not know how well it works. Happy Landings, Guido

Hey Doug, small correction. Actually Guido is the passenger and Gerd is the pilot.

The T182T has a big, fat wing. That helps a lot with braking... Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you, Ralph! Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you very much, Clive. Please spread the word out and share with as many pilots as possible. We need more passion in General Aviation! Thanks for watching my videos & happy landings, Guido

Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

+NetCerpher A good Cessna! Happy landings, Guido

Thank you Pedro. Try to get back into the cockpit! For you and your family I wish a Merry Christmas and all the best in 2024. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you! The pilot's world is very small. I spend a lot of time and efforts to optimize exposure of the videos. The light difference between inside and outside is very challenging. Happy Landings, Guido

Well you did great with the exposure! What are you shooting with? I use GoPro Hero2s and the exposure control is very limited.

***** Thank you! It;s a Gopro hero 3+ - but some after shoot work and adjustment. Very time consuming... Happy Landings, Guido

Cool - if you don't mind explaining in more detail, I am very interested in what you are doing in post. I have settled with using a dedicated camera for the instrument panel which I crop, matte and composite into the "view" cam in order to have ideal exposure on both - but you are doing well with just one camera!

Motor racing crashes

Thank you, Faizan. Happy Landings, Guido

You are very welcome! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

The Skylane is a great aircraft - could not agree more with you, Alberto. Thank you for watching my videos and Happy landings, Guido

That was the pilot

@@CanadianTexaninLiguria Wrong, watch the video again, the pilot flying that airplane is on the left side.

They are not handing off the controls properly.

It is not a 2 crew operation - I was flying with a friend. In a 2 crew operation, the proper handover of control is essential for flight safety. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you, Daniel. Technically, the T182T could climb much higher. The max certified altitude is restricted to 20,000ft though. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you Kirk! If this video encourages you to get back into the cockpit - the time and efforts for making this video is well spent. Please keep me posted. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you! Small pilot's world. Happy landings, Guido

@GuidoWarnecke Definitely a subscriber!! I love your videos.

Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you for your kind words! Happy Landings, Guido

His explanation was that the cable's were not designed to be twisted and that they can break or become disconnected. My mechanic (25 years experience with C172's) concurred.

David Myhr Thank you, David. I will check this from other sources too. I am under the impression that the cables are actually not twisted in this process. Happy Landings, Guido

David Myhr Hi David, I checked around and got technical drawings and photos of the cable assembly. There should not be any problem as the cable is not twisting. Might be one of these "old wife tales" thing. Happy Landings, Guido

David Myhr From the C182T POH: "For small adjustments, the control may be moved forward by rotating the knob clockwise, and aft by rotating the knob counterclockwise."

Robert Page This might be a true statement, Robert. But what i learned from the technical drawings, there is definitely no twisting of the cable by turning the knob. So as an engineer I say "old wife's tales"... The older Bonanza aircraft have these controls even for the throttle. Happy Landings, Guido

This type is called a "nasal cannula".

You are very welcome, Franco! Thanks for watching my video & happy landings, Guido

Thank you very much for your kind words, David. Every experienced pilot started his/her flying career as a new pilot... Happy Landings, Guido

+TJP77 Could not agree more... It was a great design. The Diesel did not work out. Happy Landings, Guido

+unapro3 By the time they reach a safety altitude, they'd have enough glide to return to the runway. Also, for emergencies below that safety altitude (you try to land straight) they had a very nice flat field after the runway along the QMS. Sometimes you don't need 4 runways in front of you to keep operations safe.

They had 5700 feet of runway length taking off from that intersection. Pilot decision making said that was enough. To use the full length of runway 07 would require a lengthy backtrack.

In general you have a good point. Runway behind an aircraft is not of much use. Like in other things in life, also in aviation. we take a calculated risk. Take off distance available from intersection was much more than needed. Yes you have the argument that if an engine fails you might be able to land back on the runway. But that's a very remote risk. Then you should also not fly single engine IFR/IMC. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

mikeallenbrown1 Thank you! The modern Cessnas come with the glass cockpit Garmin 1000 only. Happy Landings, Guido

You are very welcome! Happy Landings, Guido

+Ryan Toomey Hi Ryan, this was to use nice tailwinds of 40-50 kts. Also the true airspeed goes up to 160 kts at altitude. Happy Landings, Guido

Ryan Toomey because its cool man

+Thai Mac gatorade bottle.

+MinecraftMike - lol. Fun.

+Thai Mac Flights are normally short but if mother nature calls I use pee bags. These are filled with a special powder that converts any fluid int a gel within seconds. Works well. Happy Landings, Guido

And you drop those out the window?

Does that work for women as well?

Thank you very ,much Matt! Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you very much, Josiah. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

22fret 2 Germans - correct. Happy Landings, Guido

Guido Warnecke perfect flying I most say 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

It was FL190. Happy landings, Guido

nasal cannula, man.

Nasal cannula is only certified for use up to 18,000 feet. I wonder if he was using aviation oxygen.

celestialdream49 That’s what his altimeter showed.

You are very welcome! Thanks for watching my videos. Happy Landings, Guido

Go ahead! It is much easier than you think. Happy Landings, Guido

Hi guido, is this your plane? how much does it cost a plane like this? best wishes

Thank you very ,much, David. More videos are in the works. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

You are very welcome! Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you! May be you want to become a pilot.... it is never to late! Happy Landings, Guido
