Your Questions Answered- Private Jet Flight. 

So great to fly with you. I'm 82 old and don't fly anymore, I owned a Piper Lance and flew for 10 years and I am instrument rated. I could follow everything on your flight. Felt so good. Thank you for your videos.

Love how humble and respectful this pilot is.

Everyone’s an expert. Not many actually fly their own jet. Thanks for the free flight!! 😄

As a 70 yr.old man, whose Father was a Naval aviator killed on duty in 1954, I want to first thank you for your service and salute your hard work to help you reach the point that you can enjoy your lifestyle. I pray you enjoy every minute of it and never feel sorry for it ! It's the American way and you Sir made it happen ! Congratulations and as always, awaiting your next adventure ! God bless...........

Another nice one sir. I don't know why anyone would come on your channel and then make negative comments about money. I'm sure most people who watch are just like me, flying geeks who just love airplanes. I consider myself lucky to have logged 300 hrs in a 172. Just the fact that you take the time to share your obvious love of flying with us is something I truly appreciate. Most of us will never fly a jet, but we get to ride along with someone who does and is willing to share, for that I thank you sir.

I really enjoyed this flight. As an Air Force veteran, I appreciate the professional standards you bring forward from your military service. Acknowledgement to one's shortfalls makes us all better at what we do; as everyday is a learning day. Be well.

Great to see you safe, well and back in the air Greg. It's easy to get rusty in a short time out of the cockpit. But your great airmanship, and the methodical and honest approach you take with your flying and share with us in these videos shows through.

My daughter and I wake up early on the weekends and we love our virtual flights with P1D. It was nice to see you back in flying. It was a treat that we got a new video on a Saturday morning from our favorite pilot.

A good leader acknowledges errors, fixes them and builds controls or process to prevent them in the future. Leave the mistakes. Shows you've earned your stripes.

"Heres where it lives" Greg. I used to work for Signature and would have to change those toilets out all the time some people would see gross i saw Money great tips dumping lavs. Thanks for sharing. I work for UPS at BWI now still love watching GA videos and learning more about planes - Matt

Kudos for leaving your mistakes in. We can all learn from each other.

Love the fuel calculation. Learned something new. 👍

A wise man once said, "My name is Greg and this is my RU-vid channel".

Greg that is one of the smoothest landing I've had the pleasure to witness . If you are rusty that landing sure did not show it ! Thank you again for allowing me to vicariously fly the Premier 1 Beechcraft ! Back when I was a youngster there was a radio and then a TV program called Sky-King who flew a twin engine Beechcraft 1940s , 1950s that is when I started my love of aircraft and flying . I'm now going on 77 and still have that love of Aircraft and flying .

Greg leaving your mistakes in means to me you are human and someone worth knowing thank you sir

I appreciate the time and effort you put into your videos. I always learn a lot. Thanks.

Thanks for the “nickel” tour. What a beautiful bird! I appreciate your “bad” radio calls, they are still better than a lot of other people flying. That was a beautiful flight.

Welcome to “Gods Country” Greg!! Beautiful up here isn’t it? The Beard, NICE touch!! Looks great! 13:39 “November 3-9-0-Gulf Mike, you were checking in climb rate 2-3-0.? I wasn't but I am now to 20.8 climbing to Flight Level 2-3-0, 3-9-0-Gulf Mike.” It’s not like ATC has much to do these days. Where I live here in Lake Hallie/Chippewa Falls Wisconsin is directly under one of the main approaches to KMSP International and for the last month that Air-Space has been extremely dead. At 17:42 it’s nice to see the “Home Nest” on the display such as “KEAU” that is 1.5 miles from me.

Eerily quiet ATC frequencies. I did a flight two weeks ago in the Atlanta area. We were IFR in a SR22 on leg from MCN to PDK and there was no traffic coming out of ATL. We did a radio check as no one else on the frequency. Glad to see you in the air Greg and thanks for answering the questions. Strange times we are in these days.

Great video Greg! I enjoy your videos 100%. As a former Avionics Tech and pilot I have to say your videos are enjoyable and informative. Much has changed over 40 years.

Hey Greg I like the Santa Beard. It should be perfect when Christmas rolls a round !!!

when you said "time to check the oil", i was expecting dipstick. Instead it's 2 toggle switches, good stuff!

I love watching you fly your jet! Especially when you give so much detailed information about operating it. I also watch 310 Pilot with Kevin and Jamie and know they are ATC's at Chicago, I think they're approach controllers and I thought I heard her voice on your radio at about the 21:50 mark in the video but I could be mistaken. I've seen some of your videos with your son and I cant help but wonder if he's interested in flying? I know of I were him I would be learning all I could about flying from you if I were in his shoes. Great video and I loved watching! Stay safe and well!

Very cool. 43 minutes, 240 miles, 900 pouds of fuel. Very economical for a Jet. 135 gallons of fuel. Not bad at all. Thank you Greg for something to watch, worth watching, during these times. Be safe.

I always flew IFR DME direct flight plans with auto pilot and paper charts and paper terminal plates. Flew in the Florida, Bahamas, New York and Colorado. Nothing as sophisticated as your modern panel and plane. Love it, thanks

Love this aircraft outside color graphics and interior is awesome

Oh my God! What a look! You look a little like wise man, like Kenny Rogers. Keep that look

Just wanted to say, although I’m just an old fart 💨 piston pilot, I really enjoy 😊 your videos. Always interesting 🧐 and always informative. Thanks 😊 for sharing your flights with the rest of us.

As ATC I really enjoying your videos because it is nice to get the pilot perspective. Keep up the great work, hope to catch you on my frequency one day.

Thank you Greg for the reply. I recently saw the video made by an experienced pilot who spent some years looking into the death of JFK Jr and all on board his small plane headed for Martha Vineyard but ended up in the Atlantic Ocean. The fuel in the wings of his small plane did add to his confusion of circumstances during his night flight and gradually headed him eastward into the Atlantic Ocean where his plane subsequently went nose-first into the Atlantic at over 200 NMPH. I really can see how helpful it is to have an experienced pilot in the right seat. It always amazes me hour you can memorize all the info from the various controllers and pretty much never make a mistake along with all the other things you have to do in speak, altitude, and navigation. You truly are an expert pilot so mindful of the smallest detail even how well you speak on the radio from a professional level. Thanx Greg looking forward to our next flight

do you start your cameras and leave them running the whole time or do you start and stop some of them? The reason I ask is I have that same GoPro 5 session and the battery lifeisn't as great as some of the newer ones so I start and stop at frequently. This of course complicates editing.

Thank you for using your turn signal!

Greetings, Greg. I liked the format of this video; since I will never be able to afford a jet, I have the privilege of living vicariously through your content. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

Thanks Greg, love flying with you. Regards from Daniel in Durban, South Africa.

I've watched PLENTY of flight videos and you gave the most/best explanation of instruments (and other details) I've seen.....thanks for the good stuff.

Greg... I cant watch you no more.. My wife is loving your ITS 5 OCLOCK SOMEWHERE SHADOW !!! Great video

What a great Saturday morning getting a new Premier 1 video!! I would love to hear some stories about your days in Air National Guard and some stories flying the Viper (F-16). Maybe some of the cool stuff you did flying that beautiful aircraft! If Memory serves me correctly there is a squadron of F-16’s in Madison correct? Thank you again for your service and the great videos you share with us!

Hi Greg, Thank you for your service and the wonderful time you give us flying your jet. I always wanted to really see how a pilot operates. in a real life situation.There are so many instruments. How long did it take you to learn the system as a fighter pilot and as a private jet owner? The communication is off the hook, meaning the speed of the words lose me every time. I figure if I watch you long enough ,I get it in time. You are having a great life sir. Keep up the good work and thank you again.

I just found this channel two days ago. I’m now instantly addicted.

Thanks for the great view of Delevan Lake, Lake Como, and Geneva Lake at 25:26. Spent my summers as a youth on Geneva Lake fishing, swimming and water skiing. Family had a summer home in Williams Bay.

Hi Greg, I'm now 80 and loving these videos. About 50 years ago I owned a Comanche and flew out of Schaumburg. Flew to Weir-Cook several times. Got my instrument rating and flew 12 hours more and sold the plane. I realized I did not have the time or money to stick with it. Wish now I had.... I have a question. During the video you explained your ground speed in knots. I converted to MPH and it was 494.5. The GoPro showed 472. More curious than anything, why the difference? Wondering if I missed something. Thanks....

Such a beautiful flight above clouds wow amazing;-) never flew and so scared to do it but man I love watching this;-) ty

Thank you so much for putting in the time to make your videos! I got my private pilot ticket back in high school, but now as an adult I can't afford to fly anymore. Your videos take me back to my flying days! Stay safe!!

Extremely great job done: flying, communicating and explaining. Thanks -- and godspeed!

Upon landing you mentioned you have 30 minutes to check the oil, Or WHAT happens???????

"A little privacy please" that was hilarious. :-)

Madison is just 'up the road a piece' from here. About 1 hour 30 minute drive in the vehicle. The boss doctors up there - UW Madison is a great hospital. Thank you for the video - I always enjoy them. Take care, hope the family and you are doing well. 'Spin'

these vids are just great...they are like no other videos I've seen...working on ground school and this weekend will go up for my third lesson in the 172...my plan...to obtain IFR..then multi engine...I just love flying...I'm amazed at your skills...and appericate your professional attitude...enjoy learning from your vids...

I thought for sure, your most asked question was “when is FlyingSIC gonna wash the Premier” 😜😂

Yes, I truly did enjoy the ride along. After watching numerous rides in light piston aircraft the jet here was smooth, quiet, powerful and fast. Thanks!

As an old steam gauge pilot since 1977 who's recently upgrades my Baron to glass I find your videos very educational, thanks.

What is the scariest situation you have faced in your aviation career?

Always great for the ride along and thanks for showing the complete instrument panel.

Been following. Dad's family had 4 brothers all flew. Dad had an Aeronca Champ, Aeronca Sedan, and a Cessna 150. Uncle started on a DC7 United. Not sure if it was a 707 or DC-8 he graduated to. Finally made Captain on a 737. Retired now. Thanks for the very informative videos.

When the premier is going to sit for a while do you need to add anything to the fuel?

Greg, who cares what people think. There are a lot of people that just don't understand pilot lingo. Keep doing what you are doing. ITS GREAT!!

I just checked out your business page Greg - Cool stuff! I use to work in the PET Radiopharmaceutical industry with the PET coaches, similar to yours. Left that to become a pilot. Completed the schooling and never made it beyond that, currently working in the Telecom field. Not horrible, but I don't think anything would beat flying! You make it look easy! Super easy!

I don't think I've enjoyed a RU-vid channel more! Thank you so much for welcoming me into you aircraft for virtual ride alongs! It's a privilege to fly with you , sir.

Almost didn't recognize you there, Greg! 😁 Great stuff, as always. If you were rusty, I certainly didn't pick up on it. Great shots of Chicago and Madison there. Love the colors from the 8's in the side glass. Looked fantastic going over all the farm land. Glad everything is well on your end. Everything good here, too. Stay safe, brother, and thanks for sharing! 👍🍻

Lived near KMSN for years. Very rare for a rwy 3 approach/landing. Usually 18/36 and landing on 21. Really neat you got to see the whole city. Did an intro flight from 21 there with 25 kt crosswinds. Madison is a great city to fly above.

Thank you Greg for all the time you spend doing the videos. Riding along with you has been time well spent and enjoyable. I have 2000 hrs in my Archer. Wisconsin Aviation is a great FBO.

What was the the cost of purchase and annual operating costs

To my way of thinking, you are the most professional and may I add, ethical pilot I have ever known. Thank you once again for sharing your flight adventures with us. Cheers from OZ.

When you walked back to show the head and said "here it lives" for a second I thought you were referring to the waste basket you picked up. Hahaha. Your vids have the most balanced audio levels of any flight channels. Much appreciated. Of course as I type this I'm hearing a slight echo.

I had a friend back home in Austin, TX who's dad had a Cessna and would occasionally take us up for a fun few hours of flying all around central Texas! It so excited me that I was kind of oblivious to the tasks a pilot has to do!!! THANK YOU for posting this video!!! It looks like I already subscribed but because 2020 has been a different year, I FORGOT to keep up w/your RU-vid vids!!!

Love the classic Beechcraft "B" on your rudder pedals! Great flight, thanks

who would not like your videos,? i love them, i stumbled upon them on the tube here and now i am addicted, i have watched most of them, thanks so much for sharing with all of us,...............

Greg...just gotta say...your one heck of a great pilot bud! The scenery on final was spectacular! Lookin forward just like everyone else is too of getting past this pandemic...was nice to see a fresh video of you in the cockpit of your beautiful premier1!! Stay safe!

Hi Greg, I am unable to fly anymore so this is how I still enjoy it.... always enjoy the narration of your cockpit activities and the demo of your instrumentation.... They're all pretty much the same but a little different. I also follow along with the charts which is what we were relegated to back in the day. I never got to fly with anything more than a heading hold and ofcourse we had no glass screens. Thank you for sharing the cockpit with me ....it looks like more fun and less stress.... unless something malfunctions. ..... Regards from down here in Wilmington, NC.

It's pretty easy to avoid visiting bathrooms for quite a long time -- just dehydrate your body with only sipping tiny and seldom for 2-3 hours prior departure, and you are almost guaranteed 6-8 hours of quiet time :)

Really great video. Nice to see you back in P1D. Looking forward to your next video!

Another great video. Miss working by KMSN and definitely miss the Jet Room food!!! Love the content! Keep it up! Love from WI! Clear skies, brother!

I thoroughly enjoy Your Videos! Thank You so much for the detailed explanation what you are doing! Like Ron Palmer, I flew a Piper Lance and thoroughly enjoyed that aircraft! I learned to Fly Helicopters in the Military! Loved the Flight Clubs on Post - and found a lot of expertise and wonderful Instructors. I come back and Fly with You Several times! Thanks So Very Much!!

Greg , people who never make mistakes never learn !

Great to see you flying again Greg, been missing your videos !

Nice landing after 4 weeks out of the cockpit, thanks for taking the time giving an explanation of the different systems. The beard is new look for you, but it does get cold where your from.

everybody safe good to have your videos back watch them all good job

Greg, thank you for the videos. I enjoy your channel and haven't commented in a couple of years but now I feel it's time to remind your viewers to please use standard phraseology over the radio. As a commercial/instrument/aircraft owner with 3,000 hours based nearby at KUMP I've certainly had my share of mistakes when communicating. I don't want to be "that guy" who points out the least little thing like "lookin' for runway 3" or whatever (thanks for not editing out your mistakes as a public service). What I do recommend is consistent, concise, disciplined phraseology whenever keying the mic as the rule, not the exception. Controllers are required to use standard phrases and I so appreciate how much easier it makes my job in the cockpit. I feel we owe them the same courtesy and professionalism. It's easy for anyone to develop bad habits over time, even former military and corporate jet drivers, so here's the skinny: 1. Headings: say "heading one-two-zero" not "one-twenty." The key word is "heading" followed by three single digits. That way everyone knows you're communicating an assigned heading and not an altitude, frequency or squawk. They do it. We should do it. 2. Altitudes: say "niner-thousand six hundred climbing flight level two-three-zero" not nine-point-six up to two-three-zero." The keyword "point" is reserved for frequencies and is never used when reporting altitudes. Other phrases like "climb and maintain" or "descend and maintain" are preferred over phrases like "up to" or "down to" (the "to" is confused with "two" as well). Always give altitude when checking in with a new controller so they don't have to ask you to confirm your altitude, especially over a busy airspace like Chicago. Again, they do it, we should do it. 3. Frequencies: say "one-two-four point two-five" not "twenty-four twenty-five." The keyword "point" is always used to report frequencies in the USA. Many other countries use the keyword "decimal" instead. 4. Transponder: say "squawk two-three-four-five" not "twenty-three forty-five in the box" or whatever. The keyword is "squawk" always followed by four single digits. And every time I hear someone say "with you" when checking in (and you don't do this) I want to cringe. Just give them your full callsign and altitude along with any other concise information needed for the next phase of flight. I get the idea behind reading back clearances this way. It seems airline pilot cool or maybe you're just wanting to say things in a different way so they know you understand and are experienced. You didn't ask for my advice but your video is titled, "Your Questions Answered." So here's my question for you, Greg: "What kind of example would you like to set for the many pilots watching your videos?" I'm sure you won't want to fly with me after my remarks but just know I'd love to. Thanks so much and happy flying!

Nice to see you back flying again. Thanks for answering some of the questions you have received. I appreciate your clarity on the video and audio.

I just happened onto your channel today and watched your flight. I have to say I am completely hooked. I always have had the utmost respect for pilots and thank you for your service. I remember flying with my uncle many years ago, this brought back some fond memories. Great video, I felt like I was in the jet sitting next to you.

Thank you for you detailed explanations. I really appreciate that as a non-pilot retired aviation want-to-be. Having been exposed to private aviation in my teens by a friend whose family was heavy into aviation, and he actually received his pilot's license and driver's license at the approximately the same time, gave me a dream of a career in aviation, but it never materialized. My career was in the communications field in the military and a large communications giant. He and another friend of mine are retired ATP pilots from the commercial airlines and international air freight operations. Again, thank you for your very well done videos!

Also I drive by your hanger all the time for my work. It’s awesome to be able to see the planes out there! One of these days I’ll be in a private jet👍! It’s awesome watching your vids and seeing how humble you are. We all know some people that have your success are not the friendliest people lol! Keep up the great work and hopefully you have as much success (family and financially) as you hope for!

Just got to say , i love these videos when your by yourself, i imagine im in the right seat with you, just like i did with my old boss, { not a jet} back in the days when he was alive. It was a real pleasure riding along with you Greg, take care.

Really enjoy your professionalism,I'm not a pilot but it's a joy to watch you're surely an asset to the craft.

I just subscribed today. I watched a video yesterday and really enjoyed that. I haven't flown in years (since 2014 when I went to a convention for Stampin Up! a paper crafting company. I'd love to fly again....I love flying and enjoy YT to see things like this that I would never probably do at all. Enjoyed the video!

One of your newer subscribers Greg. Pretty easy to get hooked on these! We had F16s up here in Fort Wayne at the National Guard a while back. Now we have Warthogs flying overhead all the time! Love the sound they make as they pass by. I have lots of questions, but the most important one that I haven't seen asked or answered yet: What does Premier1Rider think of the beard?! Thanks for the excellent videos, your example for all of us watching, and your service, sir.

A Toilet on Board Plus relief tube extends Range? I come from the Coke Bottle era !!!! I've seen several A/C arrive at the Arapahoe County Airport from the West Coast and the first thing they do is exit the Machine and empty the soda Bottle !!! Your Beautiful Aircraft has Class !!!! Great job sharing your flights and experience, you've got it all !!!!

Nice video. Educational and entertaining for someone watching who is not a pilot.

Hi Greg, what a fantastic video, one of your best ! So informative with the cameras on the avionics and your explanations of how everything works is just the best. Lots of things us subscribers don’t know or understand and you explain it so well. Please have more of these. Really great job you do with your channel, but I guess that talent comes naturally with such a great first name !!!!! 👌

There will always be keyboard worries and haters. Beautiful plane and flight. That is a lotmof stuff to keep up with, much different whe you are sitting in the seat. Thanks for your service.

Once you mentioned having to go to the bathroom as the pilot it instantly took me back to the king air.... we have relief tubes in them too.

I am in the same situation was Ron.... Thanks for the excellent videos..

Thanks for the instruction. Was wondering about the back of the jet. Very nice!

Definition of a good landing...one you can walk away from. Definition of a great landing...one where the plane is still usable.

Greg. From a camera angle perspective, this video is probably the best video you have made. The cameras in front of the PFD/MFD and center console are greatly appreciated. If one of those 360 cameras was placed in front of the PFD/MFD, could the viewers then scan the instrument panel at their discretion? Good on you! Patrick from Albuquerque

I did flight training at KMSN 13 years ago, fun to see it from your perspective. It’s a little different in a 152 😂.

Hey P1D! (we have spoken before on Instagram. I am located in Miami). I reached out and wanted to do a photoshoot for you (but then COVID-19 hit) so, everything has changed since then. Anyway, glad to see you flying again! I have learned so much as well about being a pilot from your videos. I have been trying to practice some things in the simulator. Trying now to learn how to calculate TOD, and just in general how to hit an IAF waypoint at a specific alt. I googled this, and found some say to take the current FL (say FL410) and then subtract the target ALT (say 13,700) then take the difference (13,290) and divide by 3 (so, it would be 132/3) and would give me 45-miles to be on target. Then, for the rate I saw about taking the current ground speed and x5 (say, 320kts) then would be -1600fpm. or.. to account for a reduction of speed while descending.. IAS + ALT difference / 2. So, say the IAS is 220 then it would be 220 plus the 13,290 (difference), then x5 (33,775) which would give me apx. a decent rate of 3,300fpm. Basically I am trying to learn the proper way to come in on some RNAV approaches for landing. I love ILS because it is easy, lol. But, without ILS (or VNAV) this becomes a lot of work and very interesting! Any thoughts?

Are you doing camera switching live or do you do this in editing?

Bill Lear being the "guy" he was stated that having a bathroom meant it was taking you too long to get to where you needed to be. People also criticized his first Learjet--Model 23 because you couldn't stand up in it. He simply stated you can't stand up in a Cadillac either. Thanks for another great video Greg. Pretty quite at my home about seven miles NW from ICT with the overhead traffic landing on R14 and takeoffs on R1L turning left. And...had to break down and take a look yesterday and yes....Oshkosh is canceled as it should be. Damn!!

I enjoyed the video as always. Love your humor and commentary. Great to see you up in the air again. Thanks for your time and for sharing. Take care sir!
