Very interesting, very informative and very cool! I’m a former ramp rat with aspirations to fly something like that. Thanks for crawling under to show us the belly of the beast! 👍
I can only make assumptions. But I would think worried about corruption of files, updating at improper times. It would be convenient that is for sure. I can connect out Phenom 300 to our hangars wifi, but cant do anything with it. Update hours and down load maint files to Embraer, Nope. Would be very easy to upload nav data then too.
I really enjoy this video, …..but you have got to show a complete walk around opening all the panels. A tour of the hangar would also be appreciated. Does the hangar bay have running water? I am curious if the tires make tire marks on the floor as my car ‘s tires do in my garage. What product do you use to wash your landing gear. Can’t get enough! Thanks Patrick from Alabuquerque
Hangar does have running water, we park airplane on pads so floor is not marked. Don't wash gear anymore, had some issues with water in areas, so stopped.
On a couple of your videos you've shown other planes passing close to your plane in opposite direction with some 1,000 ft of separation. In 2017 an Airbus 380 passed at 1,000 ft from a Bombardier Challenger and its wake turbulence sent the Challenger into a spin towards the Arabian Sea. After 3 rotations and losing 8,700 ft, the Challenger recovered and landed safely but the aircraft was not airworthy anymore due to the stresses suffered during the incident. How do you make sure that the aircraft flying on the airway above you and that will cross you at 1,000 ft separation is not an aircraft like the airbus 380 that will disturb your plane? Do air traffic controllers create a greater separation for those aircrafts with powerful engines, or do you spot the danger on your systems and request a lower altitude to get away from it?
Good question, couple things about wake. Planes create more wake when heavy, clean(flaps and gear up), and slow. So it depends on where in flight and what airplane. Most planes I have made videos of have been off to side or smaller(737 or less) and in the cruise phase. I have asked for a turn when going to go below 757,767, and 777. I have seen 787 and A380 in flight but never close enough to cause concern. Most concern is on departure when airplanes are heavy and climbing at slow speeds under 10,000 feet, as IAS is 250 or less.
@@windingtrail9319 Thanks for your reply. In those cases on departure, how much time of separation do you wait before taking off after a big and slow plane? Is it 3 min, 5 min, or depends on weather conditions?
In order for wake turbulence to affect a smaller plane at the higher flight levels, the smaller aircraft that crosses perpendicular of the path of the A380. I will say wake turbulence can remain as far as 10 NM behind heavy aircraft. 1000 feet below the path seems excessive being that the aircraft is not at a steep angle of attack. Now aircrafts generally fly at steeper angles of attack near their service altitudes than they normally fly due to density altitude. I hope this explanation helps.
