Florida Long Haul | Piper Malibu Phoenix to Florida 

Just want to say that this was one of the best GA you tube videos I've ever seen. What an adventure packed into 25 minutes. Fantastic trip sir, well sone!

Love the video can't wait to do a solo trip like this i was excited for you

Great vid man! Subbed! :)

Tower controller is just as terrific!

Wow, 15mpg is great for what you’re flying and the distance to go vs driving an empty Suburban.

The technology in planes today just blows my mind. The fact that you can program the hold ,the length of the legs, and the expect further clearance time is just awesome! Great video!

JAX center is the best, they’ve got to be my favorite group of controllers in Florida, plus all the guys in Lake City’s tower are good people.

Nicely done! I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one that sometimes misspeaks something to ATC and gets caught, LOL! Sometimes all you can do is laugh at yourself. Good job and thanks for the ride!

Nice video... Long flight & distance, W@W ...proves the capability of the PIPER MALIBU.

All I can say is wow, that’s a long flight single pilot.

What a cool, capable plane. That's a real dream machine.

Quite a workload for you and the controllers, and such great controllers. Excellent video.

Beautiful video as always

Wow, that ATC is a rockstar! Hope he popped a beer open when he got home lol.

What a great flight! Thanks for sharing! Good Job.

Great flying!! Great video! Even better editing! Enjoyed the video a lot.

Great video! Impressive flight… Nicely done! Appreciate the time and effort forward to sharing these videos of us, it is not lost on me!

Long flight. Looked like fun!

Superb flight. Outstanding flight/nice teamwork.

Amazing comfort (air conditioning and pressurization) range and fuel economy. That's why the Malibu is one of my favorite aircraft. Hope to have one some day.

That was a good video, thanks for sharing.

Great video, thanks!

Nice job! Awesome long leg capability in your Malibu.

Very nice video. Thanks!

I just love your videos! It is nice to see real people with real experiences...Most would edit certain things out. I am learning a lot as I watch these videos! I started to video my flights but realized how much time that was involved! Great job! Thanks! :)

Enjoyed watching your flight!

Great video, nice work.

I am very impressed that big boy flew for more than 6 hours

Do you or do you not?! LoL...awesome video! Love the 10xFF on the nav with surrounding traffic!

The approach controller was terrific!

Love the video awesome job & loving the hat of my Country.

Re-watching all your videos again. Binge watching! I Love your content man. Keep em' coming!

Great video!

Interesting video. That was a very long flight. Here in the UK I only really manage the bladder range of two hours in my Jodel . I thought the controllers at the end we're not only helpful but had a good sense of humour (but maybe they just had more time!) Thanks for production and posting. I know the time and effort needed to produce the videos. 👍 😊 🇬🇧 Tim

Those LOP contintal Malibu’s are sweet, nice work!

Thank you for sharing your trip. I used to fly a lot many years ago and it is amazing how far avionics have come and aircraft capabilities. Amazing.

Great video!😀👍👏

Enjoyed the video.

i really enjoyed this video

I’ve just been enjoying rewatching a bunch of your videos and hoping to see you on with some new things soon. Best wishes! 😎😎😎

I really enjoyed your video!

That is one badass airplane you have 👍

You got your money's worth when you got that dashboard/avionics update. Sweet!

Very nice panel

A long day, but a great job!

Great video

Awesome video!

Thanks for taking us along! I thought it was a very smart move to ask for a hold until wx moved away from the airport.

Great video and what a gorgeous airplane. Love the panel. Thanks for taking me along.

You sure stretched the legs on that Malibu! I'm based out of FFZ I'll be looking out for you whenever I'm flying.

Amigo excelente video, prueba que es un excelente avión el que vuelas. Excelente

I love flying with Mr. Cisco.

Watched you taxi in ! Wish I would have known it was you, would have loved to chatted with ya! Great video

Enjoy the video, also Jax Center being on top of things.

nice video good luck

Great video, I had no idea of the capabilities of the Malibu. I want one!

Dang that WAS a long flight.... HA-I said “I think I have the field in sight” once, so don’t feel bad...It’s just a Southern Vernacular I need to break! Great Flight!!!!

Excellent post production work mixing in the IPAd screen capture video and FCProX text. I know the work involved doing it so I appreciate the effort you go to. Even though I fly a Cirrus SR22 G5 Australis with Garmin Perspective, I still learnt a few nuggets from this video. Have subscribed and looking forward to your future exploits.

We love ro see you again in a pa46

I just tried the two digits and it worked on my GTN750 in my A2A Simulations V35B Bonanza in FSX

What a beautiful morning for a flight.

7 hrs in a Malibu. Not all heroes wear capes.

JAX center was on his A game!

Long flight. Longest for me was 4 straight when I was much younger. My butt would be asleep trying your long flight. Now my max is 3 hours, with pax probably 2.5 to 2.75....... travel johns would be a problem in a normal 4 seater. Lol

nice flight and nice air traffic controllers

Wow, nice video. Do we even use the word - "video" in this digital day? I'm a pilot who hasn't flown in close to 30 years. I feel ancient looking at your glass cockpit, IPad for weather/radar, all the information at your fingertips, etc...... I thought I had the cat's meow when I got the 2nd Navcom and ADF in the Piper Warrior back in the 80s. Didn't think you could get more high tech than a 2nd NavCom with glidescope. Mercy - now that I retired I was thinking about getting back into flying and buying a Tomahawk for funsy. But after watching this - I'm just too old and slow to adapt to all this high tech gadgets. Great video. Really enjoyed it.

I earned my private at Hillside Airport about 7 miles east from KOJC and my commercial at KOJC. Kansas City is a nice place.

We are taking our Malibu out to Santa Monica the first week in June from Jackson, MS. With the long-range tanks it is easily doable with plenty of reserve. However, sine we have small kids, we are going to fly 3 hours to ABQ and spend a few days touring the area and then on to SMO. I did a trip from Portland to Jackson non-stop once and I regularly fly non-stop from Jackson to Plymouth Mass, so I know what you just did. Lol. Great video!

Wow that Avionics stack though

Great

The Aircraft is super efficient with approximately 16 GPH and its pressurised aircraft. Thinking to change buying list from Bonanza G36 to Piper Malibu after watching this video 🤔

Wow, I don’t know if I could do a flight that long. Good job.

I did Dominican to west palm in a 182 about 8 hours

Ha, Valdosta approach.. finished my private pilot there.

Great video. 1 question, why did you try to set up a visual app on the FD when in a turn. You were working hard, had field in sight, in a turn... I would have just left it at that. Great flight though and a stressful approach for a single pilot. light aircraft or not...

Nice video. Make sure you keep those legs moving! DVTs are nobody’s friend. Are you able to couple your autopilot to the visual approaches from the GTN? I noticed when you activated it, like my GTN, it didn’t give you the 3 nm waypoint. If I don’t select that waypoint, my autopilot (STEC 60-2) won’t couple the visual. Wonder if it is the same with your KIng AP.

Do you have a way to use the restroom during such a long flight?? A guess being single pilot in that scenario is a benefit! Haha

Just think of all the ones you're saving. As for your wish for Garmin Pilot to load all the waypoints on an approach, it's simple with Flight Stream once you bring it up on the 750. My Malibu also has a similar levitating bag phenomenon on long trips. :)

Hello! I see the most time you make long trips. Your Malibu with full fuel how many miles can go with no stop?

Hi. I'm a new subscriber. Thanks to your videos, I'm thinking of getting a Matrix because of the performance and range! What was total flight time and average speed on this trip? It was amazing re endurance of you and the airplane..

You deserve a cup or 2 of coffee!

Fun video. Got worried on the hold instructions when you were being bounced around. Plus, you said 26 gallons remaining. Also, why load the visual approach PAST midfield downwind? IMO, although the outcome was successful, I think this trip requires a fuel/rest stop. The fine art of corner painting.

One of the best videos . Learned a lot on your last 30 min flight. Weather+busy atc + decide if hold+ decide visual….it was great. Just one question , did atc gives you a 10nm leg hold or a 4nm?

Stay on the yellow line. U had some good weather. U could do that flight old style with charts and no pc screens. Smooth operator.

Great flight. Thank you for sharing! I didn’t realize the Malibu has the much reach! Do you have extended tanks?

its a nice airplane, what year is it?

Well done, what was the bell in the flare before landing? Thank you

Thanks Malibu Flyer, what's the ding i can hear towards the end of your video?

20:07. New email lol

Fantastic! I just wonder how somebody can dislike it! By the way, why did you upload a VFR approach in to the navigation system? Would that be to provide a sort of glide path indication?

Nice video. JAX approach was very helpful. Question: Why did you enter the visual approach into the NAV instead on just doing it without avionic aids?

Bladder Buster Flight :]

Nicely done. Two questions. What is the cabin alt in your airplane when you are at FL250? And how many times did you have to pee?

I noticed that you set your pressurization at the destination field elevation plus 500’. Does it make a difference when the field is reporting 1000’ density altitude and the field elevation is at sea level?

Do you plan to do any live QandA"s in the near future?

Is it possible to fly this style plane from say Florida to somewhere in Europe for a Europe trip?

Fun video buddy! Do you always load a visual approach or was this weather issue?

Same engine as the 350 ?

Beautiful. What motor u have in that

Best piston compared to Socata TBMs 700-940!!
