The Hundred Dollar Hamburger in a Beech Bonanza F33A 

Thank you. Yep, dogs need to be kept on leashes at airports.

Thank you!

Come on down! Let me know when you're flying in and we'll get some lunch. Thanks for watching.

Concentric Aviation, LLC Thanks Concentric Aviation!

Indeed! Seems like lots of those days here.

Thanks Mark. Come on down. If you land at John Wayne, I'll give you guys a ride down to Balboa Island for lunch.

Thanks, glad you like it and were patient enough to watch it. Now you can fly there in X-Plane and see if you have to do a go-around too ;) I should have contacted you this morning as 6 of us flew up from KSNA for Bud's Louisiana Cafe near Montgomery Field. You would have have been welcome to join us for lunch.

Plenty patience, I love the less edited ones where I feel like Im going along for the ride. Cool you were in the hood recently, it would have been fun to say hello and chat. Im planning on "replicating" your flight tonight, but most likely heading to KBUR instead as its more populated with buildings and stuff. Thanks again!

Thank you and thanks for watching.

Nilson Bolanos thanks! It’s a lot of fun to fly.

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed.

Mark Simpson You gotta have some bumper music, right?

Wanted to land long to exit at the high speed so dragged it in quite a bit. Better to descend, flair, and land, all in a short period of time. Thanks.

You are correct on both counts. I guess I hadn’t taken any screen shots on the way up.

He wasn't a happy camper, that's for sure. "Fly northbound" huh, it's Rwy 16?

@@MartyMitchell92660 "in the shitter " a technical term (lol) meaning, he is task saturated and just trying to keep his head above water.

@@shaneboulds5240 yeah but you turned base abeam the numbers and he got excited, then admonished others not to make short traffic to 16.

@@rodmanser7573 not me I wasnt flying. Im just a random air traffic controller that likes watching RU-vid videos 😂

sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was stupid lost the password. I love any help you can give me

@Achilles Marcos instablaster =)

@Trey Jimmy thanks for your reply. I found the site through google and Im trying it out atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Trey Jimmy It did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much you really help me out :D

@Achilles Marcos You are welcome :D

I really like the 550 conversion, about 10kts. faster and better climb rates. I'm not tall so can't help you with that metric. You might be able to have the pilot seat padding thinned out a bit to give you more headroom. Good luck with whatever you end up with. They're all great.

You're right, turned base too soon, but it's not as simple as you said. Runway 16R has a 1400 foot displaced threshold (can't land there) and I was planning to exit at November (way down the runway). I could easily have landed in the landing zone from there. Better to have flown the downwind further though. Then I would have beat my friends to the restaurant.

@@MartyMitchell92660 hear me well that was not to criticize but more by curiosity. In Europe here, when one wants to land "long" , ATC needs to know it so that there is no surprise on both pilot/ATC sides. However, no big deal since it gave a real great moment for the video 😊😉 I m looking forward to seeing the next one. I really like the Bo! Take care

​@@StefBelgium Same here in the states. Best to ask for a long landing and also best to ask for a short approach. If you're watching and listening carefully, you can usually determine when either would work out. Yes, the Bo is pretty fun to fly. Thanks for watching. Cheers.

Good call Brian. You’ll be happy with a Bonanza. I just got a ride in a very nice Turbo B36. Very comfortable but not quite as nimble and fast as my F33 with the IO-550b engine.

Have you had any CG issues on your airplane? I've heard some models (V35) are more problematic in the CG range, but I seem to recall loading was more flexible in the F33?

Concentric Aviation, LLC I haven’t had any problems but I rarely Cary 4 people and bags. Both models are about the same with respect to CG. The 35 is lighter than the 33 so the CG charts are slightly different but in the end they’re about the same.

Ha ha ha ha. It was all worth it 'cause I got to pass "that Tiger" with a 40kt overtake. Well worth it! Ha.

I can do even bettter. Bought a Bose headset, and yes, it comes with a "windsock".

:-)

Beautiful airplane by the way. Not jealous at all.

Thank you!

My model, the F33A was produced until 1994. I believe it came standard with a single toss-over yoke, like mine, but an optional dual yoke. Beginning sometime in the mid 80's, only the A36 model got a panel makeover, which included two yokes, each of which went directly into the panel, more similar to other planes, like Pipers and Cessnas. I prefer a single yoke as there's more room for passenger's legs and less of an obstruction to instruments and controls. It's not comfortable to have to keep your legs clear of the second (right) yoke. Most of my Bonanza friends have single toss-over yokes and seem to like them.

Hi Hans. It's a combination of a clipboard mount similar to this one: www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/9308litclipbrd.php plus a RAM mount for the iPad Mini like this: www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/avpages/rameap14u.php I had to make a part that connects the two pieces together. The exact clipboard mount I have is not available any longer.

Thank you,@@MartyMitchell92660. Keep the flying videos coming!

Ellenor Malik Not sure exactly what you are asking. LASFR stands for Los Angeles Special Flight Rules, a corridor thru LA Class Bravo Airspace that does NOT require a clearance from air traffic control. It is the way to transition LA Class Bravo airspace without one. Rules include a route, transponder code landing light ON airspeed limitation and communications. It is proper phraseology to say “LA Special Flight Rules, Cessna 1234X, over ABC, 4500 northwest bound” or similar. I programmed a user waypoint on my ForeFlight App called LASFR. It’s 10 miles SE of Santa Monica VOR on the 132 degree radial. Did that answer your question?

@@MartyMitchell92660 I understand that. Since you announce yourself on a certain frequency though using procedures which sound similar to those you use at an uncontrolled airport, what is the prefix you are MEANT to use? I heard "Corridor Traffic," and "El Eh (LA) Special Flight Rules" a few times in this recording.

@@MartyMitchell92660 That seems to largely answer the question - the traffic callsign that's considered proper phrasing (according to you anyway) is just "El Eh Special Flight Rules" without the word traffic.

@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 You are correct, transmissions are in-the-blind, just announcing but not expected a reply. Either name is acceptable but "LA Special Flight Rules Traffic" is better. I believe in the old days, we called it "LA Corridor Traffic" but since "special rules" are required when you fly thru it, they want you to actually say "...Special Flight Rules..".

@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 That's my preference, but either one is ok. I've heard announcement all kinds of way, it all works.

Standard county rate for uncovered parking is $140/mo, Add another $160/mo for the shade, so $300. That's for the large covered tiedowns across the taxiway from mine.

@@MartyMitchell92660 Thanks Marty... do you know if there are any availability right now?

@@PaperPilotJack Sorry, not sure. Call Barbara, the tiedown administrator. She will let you know.

@@MartyMitchell92660 Thanks Marty!

I've flown into Rosamond a few times. Nice out-of-the-way Airpark and used to have a good little restaurant. Is it still there?

@@MartyMitchell92660 Hi Marty, We've got a fine restaurant called Guido's at the Hangar... Excellent Italian-American food, one of the best in the valley, with parking right in front of the runway and dining inside or outside right on the runway ! It opens at 11:00 on the week ends and during the week, and is closed on Mondays. Brush up on your X-wind technique and touch down at the restaurant. The field is 3600ft lots of room.

@@apfelsnutz Thanks, I'll do that. Crosswind, no problem! As I recall, pretty skinny runway though.

@@MartyMitchell92660 Sorry I'm late, I think the runway is 60 if not 75 ft. If there is wind, land at or beyond the restaurant using 26 or past the hangars using 08. The hangars flanking the ends of both runways can cause problems in winds over 10kts.. Either way you have 3000 left. Field elev. is 2415 pattern at 3400ft.

@@apfelsnutz Good to know. Thanks! I'll try to visit this Spring.

Ellenor Malik It means it connects to the runway at a smaller angle than 90 degrees so you can exit while still moving at “high speed”.

@@MartyMitchell92660 Why would you want to exit at high speed though? Is the twy made of rwy material?

@@ellenorbjornsdottir1166 It gets you off a busy runway faster so other can us it sooner. Not sure what they're made of.

My plane has a single yoke but you can buy a dual yoke, one on each side. I like the single yoke better as there's nothing in the way of my passengers. If they want to fly from the right seat, the single yoke can be tossed over for their use. There's a spring loaded pin that gets pulled, then the yoke is tossed over the top.

Marty Mitchell Thanks a lot for the answer!!

@@MartyMitchell92660 imagine a throwover steering wheel in a car..

Good observation! It would definitely be much better to shout “clear prop”, wait a few seconds for anybody to get out of the way, then start the plane. As you noted, I always make it a habit to take a good look around the airplane before I start it. Better to wait a bit before starting though. Not sure what the exact requirement is but I’m sure there’s a requirement to verify that the area around a moving propeller is clear before you turn the propeller. Thanks for your comment and thanks for watching. “Clear Prop!”

Didn't see anything in the Airman's Information Manual but the Airplane Flying Handbook (FAA-H-8083-3B) says this about engine start: Prior to engine start, the pilot must ensure that the ramp area surrounding the airplane is clear of persons, equipment, and other hazards from coming into contact with the airplane or the propeller. Also, an awareness of what is behind the airplane prior to engine start is standard practice. A propeller or other engine thrust can produce substantial velocities, result in damage to property, and injure those on the ground. The hazard of debris being blown into persons or property must be mitigated by the pilot. At all times before engine start, the anti-collision lights should be turned on. For night operations, the position (navigation) lights should also be on. Finally, just prior to starter engagement, the pilot should always call “CLEAR” out of the side window and wait for a response from anyone who may be nearby before engaging the starter.

@@MartyMitchell92660 thanks for clarifying! Loving the channel, by the way.

love that live stream

Hi Spencer. There are about 6 ways to cross LAX to get to the other side. Depending upon your destination, you may select the best option. The LA Special Flight Rules route allows you to cross LAX either NW bound or SE bound, as long as you track the SMO 132 degree radial, stay at 4500 NW or 3500 SE, squawk 1201, landing light on and other requirements, without the need for a Class Bravo clearance. Be to read the chart for a complete description.

​@@MartyMitchell92660 Oh Yes! right. Thank you for the info. I went Phoenix Dear Valley, today ago solo for CPL training. Heading Santa Monica tomorrow.

Should be nice flying weather. I believe there is a TFR tomorrow for the Huntington Beach Airshow, use caution.

I was great. I did on an IFR flight plan, helped me out with the TFRs and other restrictions.
