Nice approach, Wally. There's just nothing prettier than an actual instrument approach and as you're reached decision height, to see those approach lights and strobes pop out.

Agreed! We picked up the runway on this one pretty far out, but it was really pretty in the rain at dusk We had 2 other approaches on this trip. Both were into Reykjavik. I have another video I'm currently editing of a 300 overcast approach into Greensboro. That will be out soon.

I agree with your logic on runway changes.

Yeah, I've never been a huge fan of change and there is no need to change. Also happened on the descent where they asked us what runway were wanted. We stayed with 26 because we were set up for it even though it was out of our way.

As for AP disconnects this last PC-12 accident out west looks to be that. The private pilot owner apparently could not hand fly at FL260 after a turbulence caused disconnect and ended up well past VNE in a graveyard spiral.

Excellent as always! Thanks a lot. Quick question though, why do you always start the take off run with the yoke turned to the left. Is there a wind coming from that direction? Hope you can solve my inquiry
@AccidentalAviator
Күн бұрын
Funny that you mention "always to the left." You are correct in assuming it has to do with the wind. You always take off (and land) with your ailerons into the wind to prevent the wind from lifting the wing prematurely (on takeoff), or... after touchdown (when landing). It's just purely coincidence that the videos you watched had a left crosswind. If you watch me land my Arrow in this video in a really strong right crosswind, you'll see me hold it to the right after touchdown. The smaller the plane, the more susceptible to the wing being lifted: kzitem.info/news/bejne/lYypvmqArYd8lYY

Stupid question I’m sure, but why did you have the yoke full left on takeoff? Thanks for the great videos!
@AccidentalAviator
Күн бұрын
No stupid questions on this channel! Ask anything you want. When you're taking off with a crosswind (wind not blowing down the runway), you always turn the yoke into the wind to prevent the wind from picking up the wing prematurely. You'll see the same thing on landing (in non-airliners), you have one wing down / wing into the wind for the same reason.. You don't want the wing to be picked up by the blowing wind once you're on the ground. As you can see in this video, the wind was blowing over 20 knots basically straight across the runway, which is why I had it fully deflected left to start, and slowly took it out until I rotated. Please let me know if I can answer anything else for you!

I would love to visit Vancouver! It looks like a beautiful area and I have yet to make it out there! There will be more rain in Reykjavik! We spend 3 days there and it was mid 50's and raining all 3 days... and it rained passing back through! I appreciate you watching and hopefully I can visit your city at some point!

The 2 water bombers on the apron are Bombardier CL-415. The aircraft on display are Canso water bomber, a CF101 Voodoo and a Vulcan bomber which was flown by the Royal Air Force. Apparently there are five CL-415 to cover the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Worked in Goose Bay in 1975 when all the display aircraft were still flying.

Goose Bay, Canada to Reykjavik, Iceland was about 3 hours and 45 minutes at 45,000 feet. There was some interesting speed/temperature/planning issues on this flight that I hope to talk about on the next video.

@AccidentalAviator okay so it's not as bad as I was thinking then. UK to new York on an airliner is around 6.5 hours. Will your jet not make it to UK without a stop?

@@DaleSteel It would have to be a very special day that we could make it all the way to the UK. We'd have to have some awesome tail winds! haha. Even with Reykjavik, we had 2 pilots, 2 passengers, bags and we could take a bunch of fuel. We landed with (I think) 1,700lbs knowing we had an alternate to go to in eastern Iceland (in case the weather got bad). The biggest problem is alternates (along that route). You can't carry enough fuel to get to places, shoot an approach and get somewhere else. Had we had more passengers, we'd have to stop in Greenland, and you'll see that on the way back! When I originally planned everything we had 4 passengers and would have been landing in Reykjavik with 1100lbs, and that's just too little. We would have went through Greenland, but last minute changes lost 2 passengers and we could go to Iceland. BTW, we stayed there for 2 days. Beautiful place, but it was 56 and raining the whole time there!

@AccidentalAviator yeah funny enough airliners use to fly Greenland way. Infact there's an operator running something like a a320 from Europe to new York and it has to stop in Greenland for fuel. I always found it odd they don't really make a small jet that can comfortably do the UK to New York crossing. I would think a small jet capable would be a fantastic seller. Having said that happen they do make one now my knowledge on VLJ is dated

@@DaleSteel The problem is "small jet" and "lots of fuel" can't co-exist. You need to have a larger plane to carry enough fuel to make it over!
