Flying in the World’s Busiest Airspace | Chicago Skyline
Переглядів 743Рік тому
Home to both Midway and O’Hare, Chicago is considered to be one of the busiest airspaces in the world. On this flight I had to work diligently to follow ATC instructions in order to avoid the busy Class Bravo and Charlie airspace as well as see and avoid lots of other traffic. It made for a busy flight, but the views were well worth it. Happy birthday, Avery! My Instagram - @thepilotblake Avery...
3 YEAR OLD CLARA’S FIRST FLIGHT!!!

My grandpa has been a pilot for 55 years. He gave each of my siblings and I our first airplane ride in whatever airplane he owned at the time, including Clara’s dad, my oldest brother. Now he gets to give his great granddaughter her first ride in his very own N46091 with me, her future flight instructor, in the right seat and her Aunt Bri in the back with her. My brother’s music was also used i...

This is an idea I thought of a long time ago. I tried to capture the experience the best I could. The Cosmosphere is full of really neat space artifacts. It has a really cool take on space history which takes you through the entire timeline from World War II, through the Space Race, all the way to modern day privatized spaceflight. I also wanted to pay tribute to Apollo 11 and 13 because I real...
Colorado Springs in a G1000 Malibu
Переглядів 4,2 тис.2 роки тому
Imagine flying 5 miles high, at over 200 knots, in a cabin-class pressurized vessel with a G1000. Oh, you must be flying a 2012 or newer Piper Malibu Mirage. This airplane is a joy to fly and is quite a jump in class from the 172. @aircrafttrainingservicesll4355 Instagram - @thepilotblake
North America’s Highest Airport in a Cessna 172M | Leadville, Colorado
Переглядів 6 тис.2 роки тому
We flew our stock 1975 Cessna 172M with a 150 horsepower Lycoming engine to the highest airport in North America, Leadville, Colorado. (9,934 feet) Careful flight planning, including performance calculations and weather, allowed us to complete this flight safely. This was the most beautiful flight I have ever done and the F16s were just icing on the cake. Instagram - @thepilotblake

Cessna 172 in Class Bravo Airspace | Kansas City International
Переглядів 6352 роки тому
Flying a Cessna in class bravo airspace can be a daunting task for many pilots. However, if you plan ahead and are proficient at ATC communications, it’s no big deal.
I just downloaded this and I'm starting to get it configured with my peripherals. I got to say the resolution inside doesn't feel great to me. I wish they would have worked on the textures a little bit more
For some reason the textures in all of the G1000s, regardless of which airplane, have been worse since a recent update.
Have you tried the new update?
I came here to say this! Lol
I have tried the newest update. Most of the issues I addressed in the video have been fixed.
Excellent and informative video - learnt a lot, many thanks.
Great video, Blake. Air Venture 2024 will begin in about two weeks at this writing. I've been once or twice.It's an amazing experience. What a nice time with your grampa.
It was great seeing the family from different generations sharing the passion for flight. All the best to you all in the future. Blue sky's and smooth air.
Every time I touch the Trim the AP disconnects is that realistic or a bug? thank you appreciate the video this is the best FSR 500 video on youtube by far.
That is realistic. Activating the electric trim switch would disconnect the autopilot in the real airplane. Thanks for the kind words!
@@thepilotblake Subscribed from Australia. This is the ANTI Fast Times Vero channel. At least you know what you are doing compared to the Clown who treats MSFS as an arcade game.
Excellent video. Really learned a lot and well done
Beautiful voice, always calms me
Share this video with the developer so he can improve it in the future updates please and thank you 👍🏼
Already done 🙂
@@thepilotblake thank you ❤️🫡
So no stall heater on takeoff? I'm so used to the TBM where you flip on both always.
In the PA46 it’s only pitot heat that is on from takeoff to landing. Stall heat comes on prior to entering icing conditions
I really hope they do add that GCU 476 in an update because as a VR flyer that would make my life so much easier.
Looks sensitive in yaw.
I think they’ve done some work on that. Last time I flew the airplane it felt different. Of course yaw sensitivity is something we can adjust in our MSFS settings if needed
Only 49 days until Oshkosh 2024!
pretty sure most of the discrepancies between the sim and reality with the gen/alt and lights are fixed in the upcoming patch. Also I know they did something with changing landing performance, not sure if that includes fixing the wrong power settings and slow down effect. I hope so.
I sent this video to Raul and he and I had a long talk about it. Several things I discussed in this video will be fixed in coming updates including the gen/alt issue. Some of the things I talked about are limitations in the sim that he can’t help unfortunately which he said includes the slow down effect, but he seemed to think he found a workaround to make it better so let’s hope. However, he didn’t mention anything about the discrepancy in the approach numbers or about the lights getting fixed but I hope those issues will also be addressed soon
Yes, it is the PEOPLE!
Great video Blake.
I used to fly N50339 when it was owned by the Hinsdale Flying Club based at Lewis University Airport (KLOT).
Scott, this is Blake's grandfather. I was Maintenace director and flight instructor for the Hinsdale flying club from 1969-1971. Got my commercial and Flight Instructor's rating in N50339. Checked several members out in the 172 & 182.
Hello Tom! I got my PPL with Willie Howell in August 1974, and soon thereafter joined Hinsdale Flying Club. Most of my early hours were logged in that 150H along with the club 1971 CESSNA 172L. The video image of the 150H in Revelle colors is the only one I've ever seen other than a few snapshots of my own. It was a truly good bird to fly! @@aircrafttrainingservicesll4355
Great video
Only once and a while do you see a video that changes how you look at life. This is was that video for me. I’ve got a lot to think about now. Thank you for this. Thank you…
Great video, Blake! I misspoke n the Nanchang CJ-6A G-limits; actually they are +6.5 and -3.5. Derek
Wow!😮 Gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
Blake, excellent video! Your narrating, editing and music selections are outstanding! It's professional quality!
Subscribed. Well done, sir!
I’m up there now
Hey, you were parked across the row from me! I see my plane at 9:46. You going again this year?
Enjoyed the trip! Awesome views! 🇺🇸
Where did you find this version of penny returns? The final song in the video is what I'm trying to locate but I can't seem to find that version.
I think I used Penny Returns from the Top Gun Maverick soundtrack. However the last song in the video was a guitar cover of hold my hand by Sebastian Lindqvist
@@thepilotblakethanks
I’m a simple man, I see Blake Nelson post, i leave like
Happy Birthday Avery!!!
Great Video Thanks for taking the time to make it.
Definitely clicked to watch because I was curious about the 172m handling. Thanks for sharing. Creep was a nice touch.
brennan makes music? how did i not know this lol
He does!! He didn’t publish this song, but he does make music
@@thepilotblake sick I’ll have to check it out!
not only was the whole country glued to thier TV's but people's patroitism was at an all time high! A great time for our country. Treasure the memories your are making!
That looks like a PERFECT date to us! Thank you for highlighting our hidden gem of museum!
What awesome events to witness when we were young! It was a high time in America, I think all of America was glued to their TV at the time. LOL, love Ground Control to Major Tom, Blake, the perfect song from David Bowie! Nice video..
Dude! Great video!
I had a great time! Glad I was able to experience such an amazing place with an amazing guy
Great job, Blake! That was quite a landing, especially with the rather icy conditions 😨😅 Thanks for sharing, as this was a learning experience for me also. Looking forward to more of your videos. Cheers!
Sad music lol. I love the video tho
45 yr Colorado Pilot here ; those long straight in approaches are not the best. I ALWAYS overfly the AP to look at it no matter what unicom says. Be CARFUL in those low powered AC! Always know what the wind is doing and NO MT flying over 2o knots wind if your from out of town, it can and will kill you. nice Vid BTW!
Curious, does the 20kt rule apply to piston powered A/C? Flown tons of mountain time in turbine helicopters, and I can’t recall many days when it was anything below 20kts? In fact, somedays you’re counting on it for landings and takeoffs at GW!
My grandpa is the reason I started flying and sadly I never got to go to osh with him.
Great video. I was wondering if you would be able to provide the route you took to get to Leadville? We are based out of KSLN and are considering taking a flight to Leadville and I am just trying to determine the best route and which passes would be best to plan. Thanks in advance.
That sure made you a better pilot.
Well done. Thanks for the tag-along!
What a creep making beautiful videos like this.
Fantastic! It was 40 years ago I earned my license at that airport. OSH. Enjoy your time with granddad and your wonderful hobby. Time to come home again and see this exiting group this summer. Air Venture 2023.
2023 airventure time
Awesome job thanks fo the ride
Great video. My son and I want to go to Oshkosh next year but we don't have a plane. Does everyone need to fly in in order to attend?
You can drive in also.
@@thepilotblake Thanks for the quick reply.
