Mooney Ovation - transatlantic ferry flight - part 05 

Hi Kevon I am glad you like the videos. Why not go to a flight school and get an introduction flight...? Happy landings, Capt. Guido

Thank you! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

You are most welcome. An Atlantic crossing in a light aircraft is a challenging and very rewarding flight. Enjoy! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

+Renato Guardiola Thank you, Renato. Time will tell what global warming will do to places like Greenland. Happy Landings, Guido

Only my pleasure. Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you Todd. Have you completed the flight training? Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

+Yak Rider Thank you. It requires experience and respect for weather etc. The engines are very reliable. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you! The videos should be entertaining but in the same way somewhat educational. Thanks for watching these. Happy Landings, Capt Guido

Thank you, Daniele! It is not very difficult - so go for it. However there are a lot of risks involved. If yo have an engine failure, your chances of survival are very slim. Happy Landings, Guido

One day. I'm working toward my instrument rating...

Do it as early as you can. It makes you a better pilot (even in good weather). And it is all much easier than you think. Reading books about IFR gives you the impression its a very complicated topic. It's not. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you very much. Happy Landings, Guido

+Chim Chimmy Thank you! I totally agree to your statement. Thanks for your service, will you work as a civilian or serviceman? Happy Landings Guido

+Guido Warnecke Currently enlisted in the Air Force. I earn my commission later this year followed by pilot training.

+etma01 Thank you! It adds a lot of work to the video editing but I think it is worth it. Happy Landings, Guido

+caduguimaraes Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

+elton cultice Indeed we do! Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido

+Nicholas Nemirsky You are very welcome, Nicholas! Happy Landings, Guido

+rotoforever Thank you! Your words make me very happy! Best of luck for your instrument training. All is very theoretical and "dry" at the beginning. Once you start flying IFR in the real world you will see how easy it is. And it makes you a safer pilot. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you Matt. Happy landings, Capt. Guido

Yes it is a great tool to control the speed and keep the e engine warm. They normally add 500fpm descent rate at the same speed and power setting. I will shortly have an other video that shows the use of SB's in a Mooney. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

+John Goldhammer Thank you, John. I try to make them better every time. Happy landings, Guido

+Ladis Ferrys Thank you! You are doing the right thing when using checklists. Happy Landings, Guido

+Ian Dykens Thank you, Ian. I was very lucky with the weather. You do not fly to Narsasuaq if the weather is not at least VFR. Happy Landings, Guido

+New Mexico Sport Aviation Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

+Helmut Lutsch Thank you, Helmut. Part no 6 (BGBW to CYYR) of the video series is in the works. Happy Landings, Guido

+Francois Lejeune You are very welcome, Francois. Happy Landings, Guido

Thanks ! Hope you will post some news vids in a mooney or a beehcraft soon. You are a very good instructor !

I will do - I have a lot of raw video material in hand. Happy Landings, Guido

+Emerson Butler Thank you, Emerson. I hope I can reduce the gaps between 2 videos in the future. It takes a lot of time to make these. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you for watching my videos. Happy Landings, Guido

+ Chris Williams Thank you, Chris. The views are indeed very nice. Happy Landings, Guido

Thanks for the applause... Happy Landings, Guido

+Eric Francis Thank you, Eric. it is a very nice, albeit very hostile area. Not a good place for an emergency landing... Happy landings, Guido

True that. Definitely thorough planning and preparation needed to make such a flight.

Thank you, Murat. Happy Landings, Guido

+Henk Verlinden Thanks for the "double thumbs up", Henk! Happy Landings, Guido

+Josue De Paz Thank you, Josue. I hope you don't watch them during office hours at work :-) Happy Landings, Guido

+Guido Warnecke OK don't you worry about that. I have a few questions for you: How do you like this plane compared to the cessna 182? and, what was your speed during cruise flight?

These are different aircraft: the C182 as the big family plane and around 140 kts, the Mooney is the "sports car" with limited space but a speed of 180 knots. Happy Landings, Guido

+Guido Warnecke Thanks

+Ali Shel Thank you very much, Ali! Happy Landings, Guido

+George Forall Thank you, George! Happy Landings, Guido

+John Lorimer Thank you, John. A beautiful place to fly over and a very hostile area for any ermergency landings... Happy Landings, Guido

+Andrew Barta Thank you, Andrew! All the best for your flying career. Happy Landings, Guido

+Lakerspud Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

+TheCpage66 Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you. I like the Mooney a lot - fast and easy to fly. Happy Landings, Guido

+Lightning77305 Thank you very much! Happy Landings, Guido

+RU-vid777 - Brevet Pilote Privé PPL - LFPZ - Avion Robin DR400 - Tecnam P2002 - You are very welcome! Happy Landings, Guido

+Guido Warnecke Thank you! Greetings to Biarritz. I was there only once in 1999 - still as a private pilot - in a C172 ob the way from Germany to Oviedo, Asturias. Happy Landings, Guido

+Guido Warnecke Ah!... Could see strong crosswinds there... PS. We are Paris in Paris

+Elisey Rodriguez Thank you, Elisey. The service at BGBW - altthough not cheap - is very good! Happy Landings, Gudio

+Phil G Thank you, Phil. Not really a commercial motivation to makes these videos - it's all about sharing my passion for aviation. Happy Landings,/ Guido

Thanks a lot! Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

+Greg Coldwell (wiffel) You are very welcome, Greg. Happy Landings, Guido

+55bess Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you for your subscription. For you and your family I wish a Merry Christmas and all the best in 2024. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

+Henry Lefkowitz Thank you, Henry. The flight is mostly above the clouds. Happy Landings, Guido

Is there a publicly shareable email address where I might contact you. I have some things I want to ask you.

email at the end of the video

+The Flying Reporter Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

+Kári Harðarson Thank you, Kari. Happy landings, Guido

+TheProvinceofBC Vielen Dank, Rene! Fuers weitere Flugtraining viel Erfolg & Happy Landings, Guido

+mikewlkr2 Thank you! Greetings to the UK & Happy Landings, Guido

+Thomas Schulze Vielen Dank Thomas! Happy Landings, Guido

Ich sehe Dir gerne bei Deiner professionellen Arbeit zu. Vor allem Dein filigranes Motormanagememt gefällt mir. 😉

Danke, Thomas. Den Motor muss man gut behandeln, vor allem wenn man nur einen hat ueber dem Nordatlantik... Happy Landings, Guido

+Tylerama You are very welcome! Happy landings, Guido

+Irsyad Khan Thank you, Irsyad. I take photos when it does not interfere with flight safety. Happy Landings, Guido

Guido Warnecke Agree with that statement. Safety first! 👌😳

Thank you! Your money is better spend by buying a first class ticket with the airline :-) Limited cabin space in a Mooney. These are built for speed. Happy Landings, Guido

+scotty wisely Thank you, Scotty! Happy Landings, Guido

+Jan Winther Sorensen Thank you, Jan! The first video contained an upload error (video "freezes" for a couple of seconds during take off). This is the reason for second upload. Happy Landings, Gudio

+sorted0blud Thank you! I am glad you liked the slide show at the end too. Happy Landings, Guido

+Mihail Miklaševskij More videos will come up shortly. Thanks for your patience. Happy Landings, Guido

+YYC Flyer Thank you! Happy Landings, Guido

+Alex Morin Tahnsk Alex. The previous one had a technical error and "froze" during the take off roll. I uploaded again the same video Happy Landings, Guido

+busyend The last video uploaded was "freezing up" for 20 seconds or so due to a technical error, so I uploaded the same video again.

Understood sir and thank you again. Through your videos I get to see sights I wouldn't otherwise ever see, so technical glitches aside...fantastic quality and as always, very informative. Safe landings.

+Paul Brown Thank you, Paul. Yes, it is a dry suit. I am busy editing the BGBW-CYYR video now. May be a couple of days until finished. As you have subscribed to my channel you will automatically receive an email when the next video is up, Happy Landings, Guido

+LR2k8 You are very welcome! Happy Landings, Guido

+ Nigel Andrews Thanks Nigel. I will check this. I do not know why it got stuck. Happy Landings, Guido

+Nat Frey Thank you! On the previous upload there was a technical error and the video "froze up" during the take off roll. So I uploaded the same video again, seems to be ok now. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you very much for the confidence you have in me, Ron. I am just a well trained pilot. Happy Landings, Guido

+Stu Peters Thank you, Stu. Mixture: this is airplane specific. With balanced fuel injectors, lean of peak is ok, otherwise rich of peak is my preferred operation mode. A lot of damage to the engine can be done, especially at high power settings. Speed brakes: the Mooney is very "clean", so you can't get the required descent rates without over speeding. The ice cap in Greenland is quite high, so if you come from the East you need a steep descent to reach BGBW at sea level. The speed brakes are small and no as effective as in a jet. Engine at idle is not a good idea. Happy Landings, Guido

+pinkdispatcher Honestly, I cannot answer this question. May be an ATC here knows this. Common sense would say, the clearance is cancelled. Correct: The airspeed call "building" is mire UK or South African. I still hold my South African ATPL valid. Happy Landings, Guido

+Mario Makaminan Yes I do! Please send me an email (address at the end of the video) and I send you some photos from the deliery. Happy Landings, Guido

Thank you! When setting the mixture, a digital engine monitoring system helps as it monitors a cylinders of the engine. The older instruments cover the "hottest" cylinder only. Depending on the phase of flight (climb, cruise or descent) the mixture must set differnetly. In climb at high power settings typically 100F above ("rich") of the peak EGT. I cruise this can be set to peak EGT, to 50F rich of peak and in some engines even 50F lean of peak. Happy Landings, Guido

Also, are you using ferry tanks?

Hi Louis, not sure why this autopilot was installed. No ferry tank on the flight. Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

Hi Scott, here a link to my newest video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Af3fVp8R8bg.html Thank you for your patience & Happy Landings, Guido

+lumpmasta Range, speed and fuel efficiency of the Mooney is amazing. Happy Landings, Guido

+Guido Warnecke Very cool. Best part is that G1000. We have them on our DA40s at my school. It's an incredible system.

+antoniooliveira287 Thank you, Antonio. Happy Landings, Guido

+M12Howitzer Lineup and wait... that's the phraseology to use. Happy Landings, Guido

+Harvey Greenberg Thank you Harvey. Runway 07: > There is high terrain on the approach to runway 25. > Runway 25 has a down slope > The terrain over Greenland is very high, BGBW is a sea level. This requires a steep descent. As he Mooney is very "clean", it is difficult to do a straight in approach to runway 25. Thanks for your comment and Happy Landings, Guido

+Andrew Tuley Thank you Andrew. The reasons for 07: - I was still high and fast for a straight in approach to runway 25 - runway 25 has a down slope Controller mentioned the tailwind component, if I remember correctly 7 knots. Happy Landings, Guido

+Michael Sachs Teil 2 kommt spaeter, Teil 1 hat wahrscheinlich nicht genug Rohmaterial um einen Film zu schneiden. Happy Landings, Guido

+Bartimaeeus Thank you! I will check if I can incorporate this into the videos. Happy landings, Guido

+A. R. Jasso The Citation jet will come back shortly. Happy Landigns, Guido

+PrairieAviation Thank you! There are quire a lot of software options on the G1000. I do not have the pricing for that, but it makes really a difference. Happy Landings, Guido

On this route you need: >immersion suit >life raft >life jacket Here a link to my latest video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Af3fVp8R8bg.html Happy landings, Guido

+PilotPrayer With a single engine there is of course no ETOPS... Flight is well outside of gliding distance. The engine does not know this :-) Happy Landings, Guido

Hi Marko, this aircraft can fly 5 hours with reserves at 175 knots (nautical miles per hour). Happy Landings, Capt. Guido

+Thomas Schulze Kleine 1-Mann Rettingsinsel. www.switlik.com/aviation/isplr/features Vorteil: man kann die auf dem Linienflieger mitnehmen (die CO2 Patronen sind zugaenglich). Happy Landings, Guido

+Harvey Greenberg Hi Harvey, the most important use of CWS is to adjust the pitch command on the flight director when you ahnd fly the aircraft. Happy Landings, Guido

+Andrew Silva Thank you, Andrew. The knobs on the very right of the cockpit are electrical circuit breakers. Each electrical component has its breaker. If you have a short circuit on one, you are able to isolate it by pulling the respective circuit breaker. Thus, it will not affect the entire electrical system of the aircraft. Happy Landings, Guido

ah I get it, but this its totally not like what you have in your own personal vehicle, talking about the fuses, saying if one goes out all you have to do is pull it out and put in a new one, right?

Hi Andrew, These are re-settable fuses, meaning you could push them in again. Normally this is not advisable, because usually the circuit breaker has popped out for a good reason: excessive amperes, normally caused by a short circuit. This may cause a fire hazard and can damage other electrical components. Unlike in a car, you give the pilot control over the circuit breakers, at least most of them. Happy Landings, Guido

I totqally understand that, I also wanted to ask yu if I may, when yu were up at the altitude that yu were and you had to put the oxygen on, where does this oxygen actually come from, I mean does the plane carry in the way of tanks on board and if so, how much do they hold befor they run out or does the plane in a way give the pilot unlimited supply for as long as he need it???

Some airplanes have built in bottles (like this one), on others I carry a portable bottle. Depending on the altitude and the number of persons on board tee bottles last 30 hours or so. There is a gauge that you need to check. Happy Landings, Guido

The aircraft is primarily flown from the left side only. The right controls are used for training only. Happy Landings, Guido

+david ogden Hi David, the pilot's rates are negotiated individually, so unfortunately I cannot answer this here in public. Happy Landings, Guido

Hi Artur, I have not been to the Ukraine yet. Happy Landings, Guido

+ eddiev737 I use the standard GoPro mount that comes with the camera. Happy Landings, Guido

+Guido Warnecke Thank you so much. Do you have any advice for making videos in the cockpit? I also wonder how do you make the camera able to clearly see the instruments and the outside?

eddiev737 his is a quite complex process which took me years to evolve. Happy Landings, Guido

Is there something in particular I can perhaps look up to learn how to make the cockpit and outside clear? Does it have to do with tbe editing process? It may take me a long time to learn how on my own because I also go to college and work.

A lot has to do with the post processing. Happy Landings, Guido

+Robert Haynes Hi Robert, I don't think it makes any difference. It is important to shut off avionics during engine starts to prevent voltage / amps surges. The Garmin G1000 has own battery supply, so the left screen remains on during engine starts, the engine instruments (oil pressure etc) are only on the screen. If you have any information showing the contrary, please let me know. Happy Landings, Guido

+Guido Warnecke. Totally enjoy your videos! I've got tons of G1000 time. I'm a check pilot for CAP and the C182 shut down check list requires the avionics master off prior to idle cut off. i'd guess the mooney is the same but don't know for sure. The PFD does initially run off the stand by battery and it's normal to leave that on at shut down. We actually had a avionics master switch blow immediately after it turned on. Smoke and smell in the cockpit. Flight prior to it did not shut down properly. Correlation? not sure. I just follow the checklist. I'd love to fly with you someday! (currently a SIC on a B350)

Thank you, Robert. I will check with a friend at an avionics shop if that makes a difference. However you are 100% right: follow the checklist and you are on the safe side. Happy Landings, Guido

+Chris Cunningham Hi Chris, almost all newer aircraft come now with a glass cockpit. Compared to the many conventional instruments you used to have before, this might be even cheaper to build. A retrofit of these instruments in an older airplane is indeed a costly mission. Thanks for watching my videos & Happy Landings, Guido

+Chris Cunningham: I just read in an aviation Magazine that for some older conventional instruments it´s getting difficult to find companies and People that can do repairs and maintenance.. I also think that maintenance will be much cheaper on a glass Cockpit System than on a conventional...repairing and calibrating mechanical instruments is a science

bobl78 I agree. In the future this will be more and more difficult. Happy Landings, Guido

+bobl78 True, After install it's just swapping modules to repair or expand. Love glass decks in GA planes!

+YPOC The Garmin 100 is really great. The only thing I miss is a proper keyboard. Some aircraft have incorporated this already. Happy Landings, Gudio

+Guido Warnecke Thank you. I think it's sort of cluttered with the different sections not well separated, and especially the lower buttons are hard to reach. But I haven't had the possibillity yet to test one myself. only in the sim. But I guess it's a nice improvement from analogue instruments.

+YPOC Like many things, it requires practice. The good thing about the Garmin products is that they use the same concept. One you know one Garmin you can basically fly with all of them with minimum training. Happy Landings, Guido

+Absolute Beast This video was taken last year, I have better equipment now. Happy Landings, Guido

or were you trying to post part 6

+rog mags On the previous upload, the video "froze" during the take off roll for about 12 seconds. This is why I uploaded again. Seems to be k now. Happy Landings, Guido

i didn't even notice.....but good video...first and second post

I might erase the older one... Happy Landings, Guido

+Guido Warnecke Great video like always. I would just set the other video to private and that will stop the questions. Happy landings.

A story about that: There I was, flying a Mooney from Yakima, Washington to Concord, CA. ATC called a Cessna 210 and reported my Mooney as traffic directly ahead (of the 210).....The 210 asked ATC to "you just tell me when I'm about to pass that little ol' Mooney". ATC hesitated a moment and said, "Sir, you are not going to pass that little ol' Mooney....

What exactly is not real about this airplane? Happy Landings, Capt. Guido
