X Country flight KYIP to KMRT with my son- watch the end- hairy landing. DA-40 w/ATC #aviation
We flew a DA40 from Willow Run Airport KYIP in Ypsilanti to Union County Airport KMRT near Marysville, Ohio. Live ATC with VFR Flight Following, watch the hairy landing at the end. We took off from Runway 23 at Willow Run, and landed Runway 9 at Union County Airport. KMRT is a non-towered airport, KYIP has a control tower. I'm wearing Bose A20's which are awesome. My son is wearing David Clark headset. We did not use KAP140 Autopilot as it was inoperable. We rented this plane from Crosswinds Aviation, where I was a student pilot until Sept. 2023 when I passed my checkride and became a Private Pilot (PPL) #aviation #studentpilot #crosswindsaviation #diamondda40 #da40

Fuck ATP but willow run controllers are chill af
I have no experience with ATP, all my training was at Crosswinds Aviation, they are the best. Yes, the controllers at KYIP are very accommodating and easy to work with.
Enjoyed the video. Music was a nice touch. Assume your longer GoPro videos are segmented when you download to your computer. What software do you use to stitch the clips together? Is this the same software you use to edit your videos?
Thanks for watching! Yes, I just take videos off the micro sd card and I use Shotcut free video editor. It does it all and it's free. Lot's of video's on how to use it are available. Good luck!
Classy
First time I've used music, near the end of the video.. does anyone like it?
Anyone else annoyed that this guy tries to out think the instructor???
Thanks for your comment! This instructor is extremely competent, especially at teaching in the DA20 aircraft.
Watched the whole flight and still missed the $300 cheese burger.
It was an excellent burger at The Apron, but I forgot to take a pic of it.
7/27 evening I see on flight radar you over Detroit. Today I randomly find this video. I learned to fly at city airport in 85. KONZ we’d stop and get pizza 😅Worked many years on River. Thanks for posting the video.
Cool! Thanks for your comment, cool that u saw the flight, then saw the video!
What is your setup for video recording? unit and mount? thank you
Just a Gopro Hero9 with a ceiling mount. Audio captured with an "NFlight" audio adapter cable. Super easy setup.
@@pilotaj Very cool Thank you. Just starting my journey at KOZW and just found your channel and enjoy the videos. I'll be in a DA40. Should help just getting more familiar with the airplane and airports.
@@MadFabLabUSA I love the DA40...I trained in the DA20..they both fly the same!! I also fly the Cessna 172 as a member of Michigan Flyers at KARB. Let me know if you have any questions! Enjoy the journey! Just got my PPL Sept. 2023.
@@pilotaj Very cool I appreciate it. Congrats and keep the videos coming.
Did the same thing with a 20 knot xwind to 6L at DAB
Great video! How are you liking Crosswinds?
Love them!
As someone who plans to yake up flying soon, this is really cool to watch 😎
Don't you need full stop landings for PPL requirement?
Yes, did that on other flights.
Hi AJ. I want to begin shooting video with me go pro. What power source were you using in the DA40? Also what audio cable? Thanks for your help.
Gopro has a battery for power. Audio cable is the NFlight audio cable. Has second port for power if you want, but I never needed it.
getting ready to do my solo XC this week! this was very helpful thank you 🎉
That’s ok I guess. But next time you should take up some big ol’ hippopotamus lesbian with a sloppy beef fart problem. More interesting video…
Awesome ... after how many hours did you get your first solo ?
I believe it was at 31 hours....should've done it at about 20 hours but my landing proficiency wasn't up to snuff. Once I learned to relax completely during roundout and flare my landings got much better!
@@pilotaj Sounds good ! I'm student at crosswind aviation (flint) but now I change to Pontiac location what about the stalls did you feel hard ?
@@housseinayash1649 No, stalls are easy. Just memorize how to set them up - power off: -configure for landing, power on: -configure for takeoff. Don't be afraid to go to full break after buffeting, your CFI will show you they are simple. Just relax.
Enjoy your videos. Been working on getting current and getting checked out in DA40. Been ~ 30yrs. Couple questions: How are you mounting your gopro in the Diamond? Do you use an iPad mini? See on your latest video you joined flight club. Do they have a wait list?
Thanks for watching! Please subscribe!! Most planes have a GoPro mount on the ceiling of the plane. If not, they are self stick..just put one on. Yes, I am using Ipad mini with a "Pivot Case." It works really well. My flying club (Michigan Flyers) does not have a wait list that I'm aware of at this time. Thanks again!
Loved your video - brought back so many memories! As a 17-year old kid in 1974, I took all my flying licenses at Pontiac Flight Services at PTK, and flew my solo there! My flight was from 27R and I flew my pattern on the north end of the field, but otherwise, it all looked the same! Thanks for letting me relive that memory with modern technology!
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it. More to come soon!
Hey what DPE did you do your checkride with?
Dan Unger, he was excellent. Just practice your maneuvers especially soft field landing on the numbers and you'll be fine.
Did my instrument in that plane cool to see another renters perspective
Thx! Its a great plane.
Good video. I would suggest a Carbon Monoxide detector versus the throw aways that you have. I have an Aitre in my Cherokee. Works great.
Thanks! I will look that one up.
@@pilotajYeah , well worth the $150. Good for 10 years plus.
Impressive. I could never do it. I have enough trouble trying to sail a boat.
Too cool! You sound like you know what your doing👍
Thanks - I try to be professional when I'm talking to air traffic control.
Merry Christmas! Love the calfskin on the seat!
It's a very comfortable ride.
Amazing flight ! Got to see the flight following and radio calls in action- I'm working on my ppl and I'm slowly getting into the cross countries. Love your videos keep them comin!
Glad you enjoyed it! ATC seems hard at first, but once it clicks it will be easy for you!
Hey. I am also flying at the same airport, student pilot. How did you mount your GoPro ? What did you use for audio recording ? I assume you are training at Crosswinds Aviation ?
Hi.. most of the CW planes have GoPro mounts in them. Then just use an "NFlight" adapter between your headset and your Gopro. Super easy!
@@pilotaj Thank you. I am flying DCT Aviation planes. I don't think they have any mounts. I'll have to think of something.

See you are flying with Crosswinds. Would you mind sharing who you used for instructor(s) that you’d recommend? Thanks
Mark Robinson was my instructor, highly recommend him.
Thanks!!
Hey Andy! Finally subscribed!
Awesome! Thanks Tim.
The DA40 is such a nice aircraft to fly.
Yes, it is. Just wish it was a little cheaper to rent!
Could be wrong but that shaking seemed to be nosewhel shudder
Yes, maybe holding nose off a little longer will help.
Great landings!
Thanks! @@dellis220

How do you record the audio?
It's called "NFlightcam" audio adapter. Just plug your headset audio cable into it, then plug it in to the jack. Very easy.
You see blue power thru see brown power down👍🏼
Looks like 45G to me
Brilliant video. Very watchable.
Thank you!
did my first solo here...20+ years ago
First one was truly a piece of art
Thanks
Congratulations! Great video and thank you for sharing it! I’m 56, on the schedule for my check ride in three weeks. And my wife will be my first passenger as well. She has been my biggest supporter in this endeavor and I can’t wait to take her for a ride and share it with her.
Thanks! it's so much fun taking your first passenger up!
Andy & The Rog!!
Lol.. no it was not Roger, it was my brother Randy. I'll get Roger up some day.
E eu com a vida se não for instalado motor elétrico no bordo de fuga da ASA com boa bateria acertando o CG!
Is that a G3X in a DA20?!

buttuh!
@21:10 - @21:18 "that's really all we need" - No it isn't. Think of the ATIS as tower instructions. Listen to the whole thing and if you miss something, listen again. Write it down as if you will be required to read it back. Then, when you claim "with Sierra", you have actually complied with the regulations. Otherwise, it is technically a violation. More to the point, there may be last-minute changes in the weather or airport status that you should be aware of for safe operation of your aircraft. So no shortcuts, because your ass is literally on the line. @21:41 "That way they know if you listen to it or not." That way they know that you have the latest information, and that way you know that the information has changed if you have previously listened to the broadcast.
You are so right. I am going to make sure to listen to entire report all future flights. Thank you.
Love 383CA! Great airplane. Miss KPTK
Yes, a great plane. I recently graduated from Crosswinds, already miss being in school.
Nicely done Pilot AJ and passenger!!
Thank you! It was so much fun!
congratulations! My dad was my first Pax!
Great to take family up first. Taking my brother up soon!
Hello been watching your videos for studying. I am currently really weak in coms. Do you have any advice for practicing such as resources? I have been using ARSim but on the spot coms has me become forgetful
I think what helped me the most was listening to Liveatc.com. I listen to it in the car, at home, wherever. Try to answer the tower before the pilot does. Speak your answers out loud. Just keep doing it over and over. There is also an archive on the site, so you can reply stuff over and over until you understand it. Good luck!
I loved it! I did the same route a few months ago, but in reverse, and starting at 27R in a PA-28. :)
Is that 478DC?
I think it was 536.
STUDENT? He sounds like he has been flying since Kitty Hawk!
Thanks, but until I pass checkride, I'm still a student pilot.
Could ATC speed up that monotone delivery a bit?
