Learning to fly the Cessna SKYMASTER 337 | Training Course 

I like the music, the plane was instrumental in Vietnam and so was the song!

Immediately liked when I heard fortunate son

It took me 19 hours to go Solo on a C172...but only 1,5hours to go solo on my 337F.. Most amazing aircraft. If you haven't piloted a " push-pull " you haven't flown....I salute ZS- FLC...

My absolute favorite twin. I saw one put on an awesome display at an airshow years ago and I was blown away by how fast it was. Just amazing.

For those who are interested, next week we're uploading an IN-DEPTH Cessna Skymaster 337G WALKAROUND! Make sure to subscribe and press the funny bell button so you don't miss it!

I was a Crew Chief in the Air Force stationed at Patrick AFB Florida, we had O2-A (337) Aircraft that flew in Vietnam. My assigned plane tail number was 68- 0872 I was there from 1979 - 1982

Always start the takeoff roll with the reat engine only, to make sure that it is operating at 100% efficiency. So easy to end up being short on power and short on runway.

Great video. I would like to share a very important piece of information. I am an experienced 337 pilot. I was trained by a Vietnam pilot who flew the O2. It is virtually impossible to maintain Vyse under the following flight condition, rear engine windmilling, full flaps, and gear down. You cannot maintain blue line. Forget about climbing, forget about level flight. Start looking for a place to land. I loved my Skymaster. My $.02 worth.

Always been my favorite noisey yeah but great plane.

Always loved these and the Adam A500s .

I was about 12 when I saw my first 337. We had just pulled our 150 over to the fuel ramp as one was leaving. I fell in love on the spot.

Great song. Great plane.

I worked with one of CCR pilots he had the best mind blowning story’s of the after parties 🎉 legends of there time

Good one thanks!

Excellent stuff bro, got to have one of these

Awesome! Glad you liked our machine👍

struggling to understand what's being said, 'cause of that thumpin' soundtrack.... that seems to be the trend now, can't have any "dead air", got to fill it up with some inane music of some sort. why?..... Having whined and complained about the music- good video anyway, love the old 337, would love to get checked out in one some day!

After ground school in high school I was fortunate to have a friend hose father had one. I learned straight off in this series aircraft. One must remember however the first rule of flying. Never get yourself into a situation you are not trained or certified for. Never had an issue flying this complex airframe from the get go. Too bad Cessna no longer makes them and to find one with low time on the airframe and NDH would be fantastic. Those micro switches are still notorious for landing gear deployment and locking. These are one of the first components I would replace on a retractable version if they are over 10 years old. I did see an interesting conversion years ago done for some US government agency. Turboprop conversion. Long nose to accommodate the mill but the W&B on this airframe must have been a bitch considering the loss of the rear engine but from what I was told the turboprop mill is a lot lighter than a piston.

Yooo this is good, it’s so rare to see vids on the 337 great video

6:19 Wow, Betty's having a bad day.

The music makes it very difficult to hear the narration. Why is that a good idea?

Spinners on front and rear are on MEL for the 337 fyi

What type of add on is the gear down for landing?

7:13 WTH?!? Is that light grey part of the instrument panel on the left wobbling so much, or is it a camera effect (rolling shutter)?

Do you train on the 337 for anyone interested? If so where are you located? Thinking of buying one of these in the next few months.

We got center line thrust multi engine rating just in a Cessna 337 Skymaster

Performance with rear engine failed will improve if you feather the prop and close the cowl flaps per the checklist.

Why the music? Esp. When folk in the video are talking?

Hi! I just subscribed and started watching your videos. Do you have Online Classes? I just purchased a '67 Skymaster 337 and I need to learn EVERYTHING I can about it. I am still a student pilot and have hours on a single. Any advice????

This plane is in Stephen King's The Night Flier

This is, by far, my favourite twin engine aircraft! I do not bother getting a twin engine certification because I can not find a Skymaster 337 anywhere, affordably. It looks like I am stuck with a lethargic 152 Aerobat. It is a retired flight school plane and it shows. When the school went defunct, I got the old aerobat for $18,000, with a few extra parts. At least it had the flight worthiness certificate current. It is one ugly bird. But, parts are super cheap, everywhere, and very easy to install. Some say I may have paid too much for the Aerobat. IHowever, it is the only cash aircraft I have ever seen that is airworthy.

If I get my multi rating in this I would only get to flying this because of centerline thrust and not a Aztec

Your background music blocks half of what you say

Cessna 337 are still flying ?

Those twins will give you Aviator’s Ear 😳

The music is just too much and certainly not needed.

Theres one rotting away at my airport. The guy left it there 10 years ago😥

Most awesome civilian airplane not sure why they were not common place? Pressurized 337 is more awesome though

Please dump the background "music", particularly at the narrative beginning.

And that's a rear engine failure way below MTOW resulting in little or no climb performance. Good luck when heavy and a high density altitude, when it becomes effectively a single with a partial engine failure. Nice enough to fly, but not the ultimate solution for twin engine safety.

GEARS DOWN FOR LANDING..... ok Satan lol

The voice that says gears down for landing sounds like something out of halflife...

well as usual mfg companies put in the least amount of power possible; in this case 180hp each...why wouldn't they just put in 0470s to start with and be done with anemic twin perf

The tires look dinky.

I flew G-FAST in 1976. Not a soul believes me.

1:49 - Music is far too loud and distracting against what is being said. Music and aviation videos..... the bane of my life!

The best turbo Prop Ever

WTF is with the loud Audio over dub? geez!

A yawwrrring moment?

get rid of that background noise

I WAS THE 1000th LIKE! Do i win the SKYMASTER? or some prize? Fingers Crossed 🤞 🙏

You don’t land Flat!

There is a short Stephen King movie called The Night Flier, in which the bad guy/vampire, flies a 337 skymaster
