THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE STRIKES AGAIN! - In-flight System Failure 

A little IFR, a little VFR, a good crosswind landing and even an appearance by the emergency checklist! A perfect Friday morning. Thanks for taking us along Steve 😎

This channel has taught me so much about the process that goes into flying an airplane in terms of communication with ATC. What I learned today is that there is strategy in getting that airplane home as quickly as possible. Love it.

I was always fascinated with the Bermuda Triangle growing up. Then I realized that more people in the U.S. die choking on french fries each year than everyone who has disappeared in the Triangle. Weird.

I Just Love the vibe the Caribbean has. The colors the ocean, the sand the people. Even though I am not there physically just watching your video makes me feel at ease. As always great video safe travels and continue to have the time of your life.

Be sure to let us know how that generator issue was diagnosed and resolved. Another pro quality video, thanks for posting.

Always going to watch a few minutes: 40 minutes later we land.

I Hope all is well.. We miss you down here in Puerto Rico, any plans to visit us again?? My son still doesn't forget that day he met you at Ceiba airport. Take care and blue skies...

Your commentary is so smooth, having you as a flight instructor would be awesome!

Like how you blended the “smash the like button” comment on the radio face.

Steveo must spend a lot of time editing with all those camera angles. Thanks for all the hard work. Your videos are awesome!

"Crosswind landings are pretty much one of hardest things you can do being a pilot" and you aced it. Such a pleasure to watch your professionalism and great views out of Nassau. Thanks, as ever. Be safe.

You. Are. So. Good! And I love how you talk to us as if we’re right there beside you!

“I wouldn’t call that a greaser”😂😂😂😂

Thank you for taking me for a ride today! Gettin' older, Parkinson's, self-grounded, sold the R182, sold the home-built SkyRanger. RU-vid flying brings back memories.

I don't know what it is with your videos but I always find myself watching the entire thing, never skip a second.

Oh no, that damn generator issue again? Daher needs to address this issue. Unacceptable! BTW, that landing was butter. Awesome!

Honestly made my heart beat faster watching his crosswind landing. I remember making several that felt like I was flying sideways. He did a great job!

Controller: We're going to need you to slow down. Steve: Slow down? Ha! Hold my beer.

You know your day just got brighter when a steveo1kinevo video comes up on the scope.

“I heard something fly up back there I think it was the pretzels”😂

"Slow speed to 160 to maintain spacing." Yeahhhhh, no..

I never get tired of your narration explaining what you are doing. I sometimes do the same thing and feel it keeps my flying skills current.

7:45 “I wouldn’t call that a greaser.” 😂

Great video! It had everything - shortened runway takeoff, IFR/VFR/IFR, generator failure, turbulence, crosswind landing, international procedures - all handled like a boss!

Nothing more satisfying than a turboprop spooling up! Thanks for another great video.

Just another day at the office! Great job exemplifying the mantra of “Aviate, Navigate, Communicate” for other pilots despite what could be a major loss of electrical power. Young pilots are watching, and are getting a great education in “Calm is contagious” during an IFE. Thanks for showing us both the positives and negatives of flying.

That had to be one of the most entertaining flights I have seen yet. The flip to VFR back to IFR - classic! LoL

My slightly older brother and I as kids used to cycle out to Aberdeen airport in the 60s and 70s plane spotting and the thrill of watching videos like yours and others still makes us smile so thank you for making them, many more happy Ts and also landings

I remember watching you previous generator failure. That one was a night flight.

I admire the radio communication from the ATC and the pilot, it's amazing stuff. Great video!!

Steve: Puts the armrests down and gets comfortable* The Generator: ACKSHUALLY!

Rock and Roll my flight friend. I so appreciate your professionalism and your willingness to share what you do. I flunked my physical with the military because my right eye would not turn to the right I have about thirty hours in a glider {Grob South Texas Lake Corpus Cristi} and ten hours or so, in a Pitts with an Air Force Flight instructor from Vance Air Force Base in Enid Oklahoma. He was flight Commander for several years in England before taking the post at Vance. He and his wife lived just across the parking lot in my apartment complex at the Sand Piper Apartments. I was a Drilling Fluids Engineer in the Oil Field at the time. I love flying upside down. Back to the Grob. What a beautiful piece of aeronautical design. A two-seater with the pilot in the rear. On a Saturday in 1981, I was glad to be with my brother and another friend who was a reporter with the Victoria Advocate News Paper. He was dying of cancer and had only a month or two to live. It cost twenty dollars for a twenty-minute ride into the South Texas skies. We were pulled by a tow plane and released around 2,000 ft. This was a small airport run by Hans and his wife. On the weekends, flight instructors from the Naval flight school in Corpus Cristi would come up and make extra money as glider pilots. I flew many times with Naval pilots but I must tell you about Hans. He was my first flight instructor and a flying mentor. I miss him and his wife. What an airport. No pavement just grass. Two hangers packed full. His wife ran a travel agency from the pilot shop. Between the main office and the first hanger were sawhorses with aircraft wings and under them were cats hiding from the South Texas sun. Oh, and a dog or two. The cats and dogs were friendly with each other. One day, Hanse's wife was coming to work and she saw vultures circling over a small calf with no mother. It was actually a Bull. This is an airport between Rufigio and Woodsboro Texas just off of Highway 77. She put the calf in the back seat and nursed it with milk and raised it like it was her own. I really loved Hans and his wife. Hans was retired from the Netherlands Air Force. He flew every jet aircraft for thirty years or more. He then faried single and twin-engine aircraft from Europe to the US and back for over ten years, post his military time. I saw his logbook and it was over 30,000 hours. He actually took a single-seater glider from Woodsboro to Ardmore Oklahoma where he called his wife who was following him with their station wagon and trailer up the interstate 35. He took off and cut the line from 2,000ft from his tow plane from the gulf coast and told his wife to pick him up at the Ardmore airport in Oklahoma. He said he was dehydrated and out of water. It was affecting his thought processes. This type of thinking is what made this guy a 30,000 plus pilot. I remember my first flight with Hans. It was my first glider flight. We made it up to around 8,000 ft thanks to South Texas thermals and he gave me an extra 30 minutes of flight time. We were coming down toward the grass strip at around 40 knots or so and it was really smooth with no side winds and just one beautiful day. I remember glancing over to Hans and he was sitting there like he was at home reading the newspaper. Just relaxed and not another thought in his mind. His hands were near the controls but not a twitch and it seemed he had the greatest confidence in my bringing this wonderful glider over the barbed wire fence and onto the sweet green grass of a safe landing. Oh, I must add, the bull raised by Hanse's wife became a real fixture of the airport. I forget its name but pilots were aware of him and always asked where he was before landing. He had a tire filled with cement and was hung around his neck so as to not let him run. Not really a bad thing. He was well taken care of and fed well. We just did not need him blocking the runway or hampering takeoffs. What a wonderful airport. What a wonderful story. My friend went to the hospital a week or two later and after entering for his check-up he collapsed and died. He was a great friend and I miss his way of loving life. The day we were at the Woodsboro grass strip, he pulled the twenties out of his pocket given to him by his family. I think he went up three or four times. I went twice. What a great day that was. When you reach down and pull the lever to release from the tow plane and the tow plane turns to the left and down, all of a sudden there is quiet and no vibration, just peace, and a wonderful view. You are alone and the sky is yours. An experience without words. How can one explain this other than by saying you must experience this for yourself. Then you can tell me. A breath of fresh air is as close as I can come. This is loving life. Thank you for putting up with my story. May flying continue to bless you and safe landings always be your signature of greeting your friends. Glenn Miller Colorado Springs at the foot of Pikes Peak, Americas Mountain! My Mountain, Your Mountain. Please wave out your window next time you fly by. I am always looking to the sky. I hate emoticons so just consider me smiling. I know you are!

I enjoyed being the co-pilot on this flight. Thanks Steveo!

Worth watching just to see that sweet landing. That would have to put a smile on any pilot's face no mater how many times he/she has mad a perfect touch down.

Smashed! Just curious why you got clearance and ATIS in the room and not the plane? Save fuel? Too hot?

Thanks for sharing what you're doing with the pilot community, Steve. Good stuff, Bruddah.

Landed there once in Military C-130 back in the late 1980's.

Dan, my LCD has a sign behind him that says "grading is subjective". That is so true to your point.

Steve, what's the purpose of getting ATIS & Clearance in the planning room and not in the airplane? Thanks for these awesome videos.

I was in bed watching and I genuinely felt like I was there on board. It was so relaxing. Thanks for the video !

I always love the b-roll at the end. So much effort goes into getting all those different angles.

Your heading reads Bermuda triangle strike again I thought we might see what actually happens when you fly over the feared triangle but nothing I was a little disappointed but love the view from the air

I Like how you snuck the “smash the like button” comment on the radio face.

I’ve never heard Stevo giggle at turbulence! xD it’s good to know the pros do it too!

Great video I never been on an airplane before but when I was little my dad used to throw me in the air really high

calm, cool, and collected, as they sometimes say. Amazing instructional presentation. Much thanks.

Brilliant Steve - fun and instructive. Time for a move to the new model??

"Hey... can we get a TBM 940...?" - Stevo (probably...)

Great cross wind landing, I'm pleased to see you're staying proficient for us.😊

Nice flight with a few nice bumps and a perfect crosswind landing. Great Video. Hope they can figure out what's going on with the generator. Then again it could just be that Bermuda Triangle thing.

ATC: We're gonna need ya to slow down a bit. SteveO: No, I don't think so. 😉 SteveO: Uh, we need an IFR clearance again. ATC: Keep that speed up Love it, SteveO cutting in line.

Nothing beats that landing you did at Staniel on video in the Cessna 208. Nasty. You are one hell of a pilot Sir.

Again, always love the Bahamian waters tranquil indeed. . .despite the whitecaps!

I'm DEATHLY afraid of planes and flying, never been on a plane and probably never will, but I started this video, and I just COULDN'T stop watching... This is the first time I've been able to get the fear out of the way, and be able to see how absolutely GORGEOUS, and freeing flying seems... I'm facinated with piloting, and just watching what a great pilot you are, and how under control everything is SERIOUSLY made me see EVERYTHING in a different way... Thank you... Great video... Might've even changed my life, lol...

Good job Steve! I hope to make it to the Bahamas some day it looks beautiful. I did see it, that was a hard one.

I soloed in a Cessna 150 and Cherokee 140 back in 1973 but school and life intervened and I never finished. That is one of my biggest regrets in life. I can't get a medical now but I love watching your channel along with Aviation101 and PremierDriver.

we need a steveo1 spotify playlist! dude has such good taste

Awesome job on that landing Steveo. You are indeed a fantastic pilot and also great at letting us know what you are doing that makes that landing so smooth in pretty rough conditions.

Really great landing Steveo. Spilled my coffee on that last big bump.......

Another superb and well edited video; could not stop watching you handle the aircraft and your skill at pilotage and landing, well done. You are a great inspiration to us all!

SteveO! Another finely crafted video-and always the best music choices, as well! Keep it up!

Always great exit music Steve. Hope your generator issues get resolved before you get lost in the 'Triangle'...

Steveo! I feel like I've seen enough of your videos that I could fly the tbm myself 👍😎😃 Keep it up, love watching them.

Man this is one of the most instructive video about aviation. I am amazed

Great Job! Steveo! I would be honored to meet you some day... Have a blessed day... Godspeed...

Like the way, you handle all the curve balls Stevo. Enjoying the videos on my end. Always pick up useful tips from you! Thanks

Thank you for showcasing my beautiful country!

0:26, wow what a view right out that entrance! Amazing vlog and flights as always Steveo

That was a PERFECT Landing! Way to Go Steve!

Great flight, had a little of everything! Loved both the ocean view + cloud surfing. Generator failure sucked tho. Thanks for taking us along. Hi from Denver!

Fantastic. Your landing was clear as my parking behind my house.

Everytime I travel, I'm always by the wing, window seat of course! But your video was like being in the cockpit! Thanks a lot! My next plane ride will be to the Philippines, when it opens up!

The most amazing things about these small aircraft is their cost to quality ratio ... they cost a fortune from $3M to $4.5M but are cheaply constructed with sub-standard wiring and electronics. There are relatively low cost wiring units (I've used in my race cars) that allow you to go fuseless and provide full realtime (100Hz sample rate) monitoring of ALL electrical connections ... the unit is cheap at $2000-$3000 per. Mil-spec wiring is rarely used in these aircraft (less weight and higher current capacity for the gauge). Not only can you exactly determine any electrical issues for any wire, you can get realtime readouts so one can be aware of the start of any anomalies and pending how much memory you install can have a complete electrical history of current, volts and even set trigger points. Given how often maintenance is required for these aircraft it's rather a sad state of affairs for small business/GA industry ... it's just bizarre to see aircraft in this price point not have such a critical component that isn't expensive.

Because of your videos I earned my Commercial license 4 years ago and now I'm flying a new Epic E1000 out of SRQ. It will be at the Epic display during Sun-N-Fun. Hope to thank you in person sometime. Your videos are inspirational!!

Awesome job Captain. Àbsolutely so inspiring in getting my license cheers Stevo blue skies brother

I always I love watching your videos Steve! I’m not even a pilot, but I love your professionalism and the beautiful views!

As someone who's been stuck at the regionals the last 3 1/2 years, I'm jealous. I'd take a job like this in a heartbeat if I could ever find one.

Used to fly the 172 and 150 Cessna. You did a great cross wind landing. Very admirable!

4:21 They let Cleveland from family guy work the ground? Awesome!

After flying Military for 12 years it makes me miss it. You have more electronics in that aircraft then we did in the aircraft I flew in the 80s lol. Great flight and beautiful video.

Are you back to flying regular hours? and did you need a new generator? As usual love the intro and the ending. Have a good weekend.

Nice landing. I love the way you talk though the entire video like teaching a class. I also assume it makes it easier not to forget something!!

That turbulence had me holding my heart in my hands. You will definitely feel it in your gut if you are not a frequent flyer like myself. I felt it once and my whole body froze

These aprons are always so full of bizjets, yet that TBM is a lot more fun to fly :)

I'd be having TBM look into the AC system as a possible cause of generator failures.

Always a great time on your flights. That TBM 850 is one nice aircraft. Checkout that generator failure whether it's parts used in reman or something else causing it to blow.

After watching you for so long does that mean I’m certified for the TBM 850?

I _never_ have my seatbelts on watching you Steveo... I appreciate livin' life on the wild side ;-) Thanks for sharing.

That ATC voice at 11:00 🥰

SteveO, I'm sad to hear that you may be cutting back on your videos going forward. I just found your channel this week and within 3 days, I feel like I'm one of your flying buddies. You have such a nice, calm, friendly manner, I feel that I've been in your right seat for years. Please keep on sharing your trips with us. It's a pleasure to fly with you and learn as you explain things. I wanted to learn to fly when I was younger but I never made that happen. I'm now living vicariously through X-Plane 11 and watching your videos. The RU-vid skies won't be the same without your videos. Stay safe, and keep on flying!!!

If TB were mine I would begin to think about a possible connection between the prop governor problems and the generator issues. Anything that repeats is a worry. There may be some odd harmonics in the turbine/transmission. Be interested in what real engineers might be thinking about if they had to trouble shoot this TBM ?

Steveo...lol I am watching You and your Dad(Bernie) on "Going RVing" TV show buying a RV together...funny I recognized your voice first.... Great pick for you and your dad..Hope your making great memories together...👍🏼..Your Dad is a very nice man ..see where you get your easy going personality..

Jeeze this was a busy flight on you! Love the content, keep it coming!

Steveo. Philip hope's you got everything sorted with your problem. At least you got down safe and well. Keep safe buddy phil.

That dude giving you the ATIS mush have been an auctioneer in a previous life.

Excellent vLog SteveO. We are taking our TR182 over to Staniel Cay in June. Can't wait!

It might be a bit too late, but dont forget to go to customs...

My family comes from the very small island of Saba in the Dutch Caribbean. The commercial runway is only something like 440 yards (1320 ft) long ! One way landing/takeoffs only. No night or bad wind landings allowed.

why did you get the ATIS and clearance in the lounge as compared to the plane?

Alternator failure, crosswind landing… Another day in the office. 👌🏻🙂 Another good 30 minutes watching your video. Thx🙂
