@@GuidoWarnecke Oh, wie schön dort und nur 30 km bei mir um die Ecke. Sogar mit eigenem Platz. Was will man mehr als junger Kerl, was? 😎 So klein ist die Welt. Und für Piloten ohnehin immer etwas kleiner. Die kurzen Wege. Hoffentlich kriegt die Heimat dich Weltenbummler ab und zu noch zu Gesicht. Komm immer heile runter! Ein Freund von mir tat es eines Tages nicht mehr... Beech Sierra 200. Bei Könnern. September 2015. Also mach ich mir immer auch etwas Sorgen um dich. Jedes neue Video ist ein Lebenszeichen, das mir zeigt, dass es dir gut geht. 🙏🏼 Denk mal, wie es mir mulmig wird, wenn du längere Upload-Pausen machst ... Daher freue ich mich immer auch deshalb über ein neues Video. Always Happy Landings, Captain! ✌🏼
Thank you for your kind words. I am just another, well trained pilot nd try to do my job as good as possible. I do mistakes too: you see it when I read back an altitude clearance wrongly. Potentially dangerous. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Thank you Peter. I never flew in a Navajo, it was one of there backbones in the charter industry. The days of twin piston engine aircraft are over now. The King Air have taken over. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Great procedures & landing as always - Guido the Pro! Thanks for the uploads recently, and I particularly enjoyed the meta-content - that being the gimbal-stabilisation algorithm in the camera, and the beautiful Ghanan english accent! The slideshows you are putting in at the end are great too. Much appreciated
Thank you! I have not fully understood how the stabilization system in the GoPro works. I think it is all electronic and no mechanical gimbal involved. The local English required some adjustment of me as I am not a native speaker (German). Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Interessant, wie in der slide show mit jedem Bild die Markierung des Abgasstrahls auf dem Lack deutlicher zu sehen ist. Die slide shows sind ein toller Abschluß der Videos. Gerne beibehalten.
Klasse! Darauf habe ich noch gar nicht geachtet. Die Schmiere mit den Abgasen ist ein ständiges Problem bei den King Airs. Das muss man eigentlich jeden Tag wegmachen. Es gibt eine Firma die spezielle Abgasrohre anbieten, die den Dreck etwas mehr weghalten. Auf Ferry Flügen kümmere ich mich nicht darum. Früher mit Passagieren habe ich das öfter saubergemacht. Happy Landings, Capt.Guido
Just came across this channel and i love every second of it, please if its possible also upload inspections, before take off checklist, cruise checklist, thank you Captain.
Thank you very much Omid. I will keep your suggestions in mind. The next video will be a night ILS approach in a brand new King Air B360, which will come up shortly. Please stay tuned. if you have not done already, please subscribe to my channel and turn on notifications and you will not miss any new video. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Always a pleasure to watch. Such a high level of professionalism. Just obtained my EASA MEIR and am to finish my CPL next week. Hope to do this too one day. Fair winds, capt!
Thank you very much for your kind words. I am just another well trained pilot who makes mistakes. You see it at the beginning of the video when I read back an altitude incorrectly. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
@@GuidoWarnecke Some of my students in the US call anyone over the age of 40 who is well accomplished in their area of expertise "OG" of "Old Gangster" as a compliment. It's one of those silly "americanisms". Great flying as always. The King is my favorite plane I have ever flown.
You are very welcome. As I get positive comments on the slide shows I will add these now on every video. Thanks for your opinion and comment. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
If only the 172 I fly had that panel I would be in aviation heaven, as usual a great presentation and also setting the standard we should all aspire to. Regards Michael 🇦🇺✈️
Guido, great video and a Beautiful King Air. G3000? You make it look so easy. I only have 212 hours in a single and have not flown recently. Really enjoy your videos and pls keep pumping them out.
Lovely to be inside the King Air again. I was a safety pilot for an air ambulance. Love the King Air. You make it look easy but the work load and speeds are similar to a two crew jet. You must be patient to fly in Africa but it is a wonderful place.
Hello Guido, I am new on your RU-vid channel and I have to say that you make great videos and especially the clear explanation of what you do is great. And what a wonderful profession you have as a ferry pilot. I was 52 years old when I did my PPL, if I had been young I would do this. Fantastic, keep it up
Thank you very much Armand. It is never too late to follow a passion. I am also a late starter in commercial aviation. More to the story on my web site: www.guido-warnecke.com Where do you mostly fly from now? Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Hello Guido, I will check out your website. Interesting to know more about how things went for you in aviation. I'm flying from Mora in Sweden ( ESKM ) Have a nice day and many safe flights to you too.
I have never flown for the airlines, so I do not know that segment of aviation. I enjoy my ferry flying which is an extremely small niche. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
New subscriber. Actually, I think I subscibed a week or two ago but I'm bad about posting. Love your videos! I really like how you show "blow ups" of the instruments in these. Not sure what the technical version is, but so cool!!! I've always been interested in flying but never took the steps to get my PPL. Life took on a different path. I'm a retired paramedic. Decided to throw in the towel after 28 years. Cheers, and be safe!!!
Thanks for subscribing! Go to a local flight school and do an introduction flight with a flight instructor. You sit at the left seat. It is inexpensive - but caution: also very addictive :-) From there it is an easy path to do a PPL. Have fun and please keep me posted. Happy Landings, Captain. Guido
Impressive plane from Beech' - super avionics, PT6 turbo props, and auto throttle too! Hopefully an enjoyable flight experience. I have nearly lost count of the many platforms you have flown Guido - all that and seemingly for most part, very long ferry jobs. Another enjoyable detailed approach video - thank you. :)
Thank you Chris. This one does not have an auto throttle. It is actually an older B350, completely refurnished, new cabin and paint, with Blackhawk engines and G1000NXi. Still has the new car smell inside... Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Great! What you will see after you get your rating: the "real" instrument flying is much easier than the stuff you do during training. Please keep me posted on the progress. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
I always thought the 350 was a multi crew requirement. That’s a big plane to be flying solo Guido. Even with your absolute professional knowledge and skills
In some charter operation, there is a multi crew requirement. I hold a single pilot type rating for the 350 (BE300), so it is ok for ferry flights. Compared to jets I fly also single pilot, the B350 is quite complex. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
@@GuidoWarnecke I know first hand how easy it is to get behind the aircraft and that’s a piper pa28 not a king air 350 with g1000/ g3000 and flying IFR etc
That's an interesting route. I figured you'd have to go farther north through Africa, Spain andup towards the UK then go the usual route that small aircraft take when crossing the Atlantic. I wouldn't have wanted to wear a gumby suit that long while over open water! Safe travels!
Thank you! You have a good point. When yuou fly this route westbound via the Azores in a "normal" King Air, you face 2 challenges: 1) you need an HF radio 2) you need the range to fly 1400NM against a sometimes very strong headwind This King Air had extra (saddle) tanks and a HF radio. Fuel for 10h+ flight. You see the fueling of the saddle tanks on two of the photo slides following the video Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Guido, how do you prepare for switching between so many aircraft types? Do you have to spend a bit of time re-reading the POH each time, or does it all come straight back? I would think it might be easy to accidentally have the vref, emergency procedures etc etc for a different type in your mind if not careful. Always enjoy your videos and learn great ADM from each one.
Hi Ed, you raise an important point here. Basically I fly 3 groups of aircrafts, that are very similar: 1) the CJ Citation Jets 2) the King Airs 3) the Cessna Caravan. So far only a few PC12 and Piper Meridians. If I have not flown a type for a long time, I read the training books and familiarize myself with the cockpit layout. The flying part is easy. A challenge is the avionic setup, especially on older aircraft with avionics aftermarket installations. I budget around $30k per year for training, as I also have two ATPLs that I need to renew every 6 months: South Africa SACAA and USA FAA. Thank you for watching my videos and supporting my RU-vid channel. Please tell your friends too :-) Here a reference to my web site: www.guido-warnecke.com Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Thank you Ronnie. the "King Air swing" is am nation when raising the gear: > gear up with the hand > landing lights OFF with 2 fingers down > windscreen heat with 2 fingers up In older King Airs you switch on the prop synch as well with the index finger. Let me know if you can see this: You can also send me an email via my web site: www.guido-warnecke.com Then I send you the video. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Nice approach with great detailed info! I regulary fly a rental Cessna 172 with the Garmin1000 with an external autopilot (which means I have to set the QNH + altitude in both the autopilot and the Garmin1000), but the G1000 in a King Air is still at another level 🙂 Flying a Cessna Caravan 208 one day is my dream (will propably never happen but still I can dream, don't I?) but a King Air 350 is something else!
Hi Telly, the modern C172 with the C1000 are also great aircraft. Sometimes the autopilot integration in the small aircraft is not perfect, like you mentioned with the altitude and QNH. The C208 is like a C172 on steroids, flies very easy and the engine handling of the turbine is much les complex. No leaning etc. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Wondering how you manage to make the rear mounted, forward facing camera remain parallel to the horizon even after your rolled into a bank? Thanks again for another beautiful video.
Thank you! It depends on the class of the airplanes. Among the twin engine turbine aircraft, the King Air models are certainly my no1. And among the King Airs the B350 ist the best. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Always nice to follow your videos. For us flying single pilot as job this is good reminders on good airmanship. Was this the 350 with auto throttle? Safe flying G
Thank you! This was an older King Air B350, which I picked up at Singapore before and brought it to South Africa. It was completely overhauled, new cabin, new paint, new avionics, Blackhawk engines and saddle aux tanks. I brought it then to the USA, on the very flight I recorded this video. The video of a B350 with auto throttle will come up shortly. That was on a different ferry flight USA to South Africa in a factory new aircraft. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
It was the camera angle. Descent was on the glide path. I am still looking for a better camera option. That is the best I got at the moment. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Thank you. The RFDS is a great organization. They are doing god's work. I ferried a King Air 350 for them from the USA to Sydney. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido Please consider subscribing to my RU-vid Channel and hit the "notification bell". No cost for you and you get notified about any new video uploads. Your support is highly appreciated.
Hello Guido! Thanks for another great video. I love the detail you put into your videos. I've learned I need to watch them at least twice so I don't miss anything. As a non-pilot, (I'm just an Aviation Geek), I really appreciate the detail you give us. I learn so much from you. When you take possession of an airplane to ferry, what is your process to insure it is safe to fly on such a long, and potentially dangerous trip? Have you ever turned down a trip because the airplane wasn't safe? Thanks again Guido!
Thank you Tom. Mostly I have to rely on the aircraft maintenance reports. There is very little you as a pilot can check other than a visual inspection. I usually ferry newer aircraft. Never had major issues. I know that my videos are very condensed and packed with information. I thought about making them longer by the audience likes shorter videos. Thank you for your comment and the loyalty to my RU-vid channel. Please tell all your aviation afficionado friends to subscribe to the channel too. It really helps. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
@@GuidoWarnecke I work behind the scenes as a director in television news. I know editing is a long process, especially the way you do it with all the details you add. I think the length is great because of all the detail. Thanks for the hard work you put I to your videos!
Thank you Tom. While I consider myself as a professional pilot on the video editing side I am still an amateur. I might seek some training as the editing process is very time consuming. If you have any advice where to get good training and/or support that would be highly appreciated. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Hallo Capt. Guido, King Air so ein schönes Flugzeug. EDFB mein Ausbildungs Airport, dort war zu meiner Zeit eine stationiert....immer große Augen bekommen das Teil in Aktion zu sehen. Eine Frage habe ich doch einmal. Ich sehe Du fliegst sehr viel verschiedene Muster und ich habe irgendwann mal "gehört", das eigentlich nur noch 2 Muster im Schein eingetragen werden...Security reason. Weiterhin happy Landings und ich warte gespannt auf Dein nächstes Video. Servus aus MUC
Kleine Welt! Ich habe in Gelnhausen und Reichelsheim geflogen. Mein Vater hatte dort seine C182 stationiert. ich habe 2 ATPL: Südafrika und FAA. In Südafrika muss JEDES Flugzeug in die Lizenz eingetragen werden. Das sind mittlerweile 2 Seiten...man kann so viele eintragen, wie man eben macht. eine Begrenzung ist mit nicht bekannt. In USA braucht man nur ein entry fuer type rating Flugzeuge. Ansonsten ueber class rating abgedeckt und endorsements (complex etc.) Ich habe in USA ein ATPL fuer jeweils single engine und multi-engine land. Musste 2 practical tests dafuer machen. Warum man mit multi-engine ATPL kein single engine fliegen darf, erschliesst sich mit nicht. Andersrum schon. Hier ein Bild aus EDFB: ich komme gerade mit der C210 aus Suedafrika an und im Hintergrund steht die C182 D-EEHR, die mein Vater viele Jahre als unser Familienflugzeug hatte. www.flightaware.com/photos/view/168017-c63abc58d85d0e71b3ec0b9e9bdfe3afc8c9c771/airport/EDFB/sort/votes/page/1 Happy Landings, Capt.Guido
@@GuidoWarnecke Vielen Dank für die ausführlich Antwort !! So unterschiedlich sind die Vorschriften der verschiedenen Länder, was mich ehrlich gesagt auch nicht wirklich verwundert. EDFB habe ich meine PPL gemacht.....Flugschule Schumacher und in "Eckelsbach" dann die CPL. Die C182 ist ein tolles Flugzeug, mit dem ich in Nambia einen unvergesslichen Urlaub genossen habe. Danke noch einmal das Du Dir die Mühe gemacht hast so ausführlich zu antworten !! Happy Landings Servus aus MUC
If fuel range/routing allows it, do you have any preference for east African airports over west African airports? Heard west Africa can be a bit more of a hassle with paperwork/payments etc... Thanks!
I have to plan a ferry flight for minimum cost and maximum reliability. In an aircraft with great range, like the one on the video, West Africa is ok (less stops). For other aircraft, the East African route is preferred. It is. a case to case desicion. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Thank you! Condition lever position depends on the temperature and elevation on airport. These are also Blackhawk engines. They tend to run at too low RPM when in LO position. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
I'm curious if you publish your licences anywhere or have covered your career in any interviews? You must have an FAA and South Africa CAA licence both with IFR. Even with validations, the CAA have not been fun to deal with. I can't imagine how difficult an IFR validation would be. Also interesting routing across the Atlantic. Was in St John you stopped at in between the Azores and Bangor?
I lived 6 years in South Africa and got a SACAA ATPL which I renew every 6 months, since 2006. Additionally, since I moved to the US I acquired a stand alone FAA ATPL, which I also keep current every 6 months. A lot of work but essential for my job. For other countries I sometimes work with license validations. A process that gets progressively more complicated. The countries do not like foreign pilots. Botswana license validation was quite challenging. A South African SACAA license validation for a PPL/VFR is easy, to get a commercial is almost impossible. You might as well do the full license. I am sure that many ferry pilots fly without proper licensing. That works as long as you have the slightest incident/accident. I am a professional and feel also the responsibility I have toward my clients who give me their million Dollar assets for the ferry flight. Route: CYYT, St Johns is the typical entry airport on this airport for Canada. I used it too. Happy Landings, Capt.. Guido
@@GuidoWarnecke Thanks for the detailed reply. I'm almost 9 months into a PPL/VFR validation with the CAA, and even getting this far was only due to some escalations. Interesting to hear you found it easy. Would you recommend standalone licences over validations based on your experiences? Thanks for continuing to share all the flights. You are definitely helping to improve the flight skills of many people.
It all depends what you want to do in South Africa. For a longer stay - yes go for a stand alone license. I am well connected and can give you recommendations. For details, please send me an email via my web site: www.guido-warnecke.com Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
Glaub das ist das erste Mal dass ich eine King Air mit Satteltanks sehe. Ist das ganze Sattelvolumen Tankvolumen oder ist das auch Platz für Koffer drin? Ich finde die King Air sieht mit Sattel schnittiger aus.
Na ja, das ist Geschmacksache. Es gehen etwa 425 Liter pro Seite rein. Die in der King Air üblichen wing lockers (die Gepäckfächer hinter den Triebwerke) hat man dann natürlich nicht mehr. Fliegt man mit 8 Passagieren, kann das eng werden mit dem Koffern. Besonders Ski oder Golf Taschen. Happy :Landings, Capt. Guido
I flew with headwinds most of the time but still did 1,800NM non stop. The still wind range is well above 2,200NM! Due to the heavier weight of the aircraft (the ER has 1,500lb increased MTOW) the fuel flow on the first 2 hours is higher than in the standard B350. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
