Great video! I used to live a couple of blocks from Ft. Lauderdale Executive. Became a Private Pilot in 1975 and used to fly the Islander in the Caribbean with a friend flying from San Juan PR to Culebra, St. Thomas and St. Croix. I love that little plane!. Due to health reasons I no longer fly, I'm 69 Now. But you can be sure I fly the Islander in the simulator!
A great take off and landing & talk back, l always like this kind of video whare you can hear the pilot talking to the people in the control tower, well done lads - great video very enjoyable.
Used to fly cruise with a little flap extension to bring the nose/attitude down. Little faster too. Well a little less slow. Such an exceptionally clear day with this video. It can get rather nasty on the route frequently. And all the smashing around above the east coast of florida while getting vectors for a 30nm final at one of this congested airports.
Amazing! I want to fly the Islander in MS FS2020. You said the reduced climb power at 500ft agl is 25in and 2500 rpm, but what are those two numbers in the cruise please? Thanks :)
@MarekMarciniak love the bn2 video, as I'm flying that dame bn2 in msfs, same route. What is the rpm and manifold in descent? Any help please, thanks !!
@@MarekMarciniak I'm glad you saw it also. Something was up there flying with you for sure. They don't call it the Bermuda Triangle for nothing you know, lol. Anyway, thanks for posting and sharing your flying life with us.
@@johnnyrocco There is quite a few birds that fly ~5k feet like this but the way how dark and out of focus this is it almost makes me thing it's some thing inside the cabin, furball from the jacket or something like that.
