Great video - very interesting! Such a foreign environment for someone who lives in south Texas.

Man! Amazing video. Keep it up, keep posting nd we watching

I love what you are doing. I'm 60 this year. How I failed in life. Wow! Look at you.Good for you. How I would love to fly for a living. Every day up there and not working as a store clerk not worrying who is going to point a weapon at me. Please keep this up, it is inspiring. For me, I can always dream. P.S.Please fix the microphone so we can comprehend what you are describing. A Walter Mitty man..

you are not a failure, as long as you're not serving a long prison sentence, your life is a blessing.

It would be funny if each of your radio contacts included a different remedy for the cold or sore throat, and then you had a care package waiting for you at your final airport. 🤒

Thanks for a very interesting video! Why did you close the right fuel tank on descent? Inbalance?

On my Cessna 208b flight last week, you could hardly see the wing tips from take off to about 6,500 feet, no doubt we were icing up, pilot kept checking the wings…

Great video, I’ve learned some of your SOP so I can put it into practise on my sim. I noticed you never use the inertial separator on taxi out or takeoff, but opened before approach and taxi in, any reason for not using on takeoff? Is it due to engine/torque/temp limits?

You need to make more videos, you have the potentials to hit 10k subscribers

@madisonromero3529 Год назад

Great video! Just curious, why were you intentionally low on final? Was the ceiling low and might obscure the vis? I am from Louisiana and not familiar with snow. Just wondering if that had something to do with the low approach?

@jamesallan5422 Год назад

Hi Madison - it's a technique we used to achieve maximum runway usefulness. During the wintertime many of the short gravel runways (less than 2,500') we flew into had poor braking action, oftentimes because of lack of plowing or inaccurate weather reporting. A shallow VFR approach to the runway threshold would often afford an extra margin for our landing distances.

How do you brake a plane on a snow packed runway? Are those studded snow tires on that plane?

Amazing video. I’m ppl right now + instrument. Working on my commercial license. I have question - what requirements to become cargo pilot for Cessna caravan? What’s total time should be?

@jamesallan5422 Год назад

Hi Mykola - the requirement to fly single-pilot IFR is 1,000 hours TT. If the operation is VFR-only then the bare minimum requirements would be a Commercial certificate, although most companies will require more for insurance purposes.

@flyinter1988 Год назад

@@jamesallan5422 thank you for response. 1000 hrs it’s company rules or FAA?

@jamesallan5422 Год назад

@@flyinter1988 1,000 hours is a Transport Canada requirement. I'm not entirely sure what the FAA requirement is but I can imagine it'd be similar to Canada's.

Hello! I have a question! When do I need to turn BleedAirHeatSwitch on or off? What is it for?

@jamesallan5422 Год назад

The Bleed Air switch is used to control the cabin's climate, mainly utilizing hot compressed bleed air from the turbine for heating. Generally it should be off during engine start/stop and takeoff/landing.

@nicolashernandezcastrocolo1843 Год назад

Do you do some mixture calibration during cruises

@jamesallan5422 Год назад

Hi Nicolas - no, turboprops don't have mixture controls like piston aircraft. Instead we calibrate the propeller pitch during various phases of flight.
