New camera, new software, new channel name! This is a rough edit of my first real footage using the new DJI Osmo Pocket. Forgive the audio quality, full cockpit audio will be included in the fully edited version. This is mostly a test.
Nice vid and I’m envious! Working on my commercial now in hopes of getting to Alaska to do some full time flying there in the next year or so. Live in Wisconsin currently, but we have a cabin a bit northeast of Fairbanks off of the Steese hwy. Making a career change and looking forward to getting to Alaska full time while I’m 43 years young! Keep them coming!
With 300hp out front, fully loaded she climbs about like a 172 that's fully loaded, 4-500fpm. But, if the engine quits, the 207 doesn't glide so much as falls controllably. This is why they call it The Sled: it goes downhill a lot easier than it goes uphill!
I remember landing a 207 there in a foot of mud. The runway was 1/3 that long too . We'd land on the river in spring with a lot of water on top of the ice.
What is your average altitude when tundra flying? Does Grant do 2 on/2 off for bush flying like Hageland? Thanks for sharing. (Once an Anchorage dweller)
We fly at 800 to 1200 all day long. Nothing to run into out here. 135 minimum is 500, company min is 600, and I've spent whole days scraping along at 6-700ft. CAVU days like the other day are a rare treat!
@@DefiantAero I flew a C207 out of Juneau years ago Part135 VFR. We never filed IFR nor got a pop-up (although 2miles viz and 500' is pretty IFR by most standards). Do you ever file IFR in the C207's with Grant? Thanks for the video. Feeling nostalgic.
@@nathanaller2835 I wish I could say, but I think most of the management has changed since I was there last, and I know Covid really slowed them down. I'd say call their phone line and ask to speak to the chief pilot. Be persistent!
