As soon as I saw your video and that you were traveling to Lancaster airport, I had to see it, I enjoyed the content, and I will follow you for know on. I live less than a minute from the airport and love to watch the airplanes from Fiorentinos Restaurant. Hopefully, I will see your plane sometime when you come this way again. Take care.
@@DanielGonzalez-jb8dq great restaurant and good people. 🙏
Man what kind of job do you have to be driving a Rolls Royce?
@@ronniethepilot you have no time to make any money if you have a job. :)
Thanks for posting! Thinking about getting an M20. Have always heard Mooneys are tricky to land. Lots of performance for the money compared to other planes, though.
I'm a former Lancaster and Hershey resident, now in central Florida (retired). LNS was always a fun spot to hang out. Nice facilities there and easy to fly into and out of. BTW, I really, really like your car!! AND, your commentary is outstanding....answered so many questions... great job!
@@fred5727 thanks. Fred. LNS is one of the nicer FBOs for sure.
Nice plane! Did I hear Old Bridge airport? 3N6? I’m at ILG. Not far. Fly safe!!
@@thebigbilltheory4388 yessir!!
Long ride! How far did you take V1 - down to CRG? And what was your route to F45
Great details - really appreciate you sharing the flight!
It's my pleasure. I'm glad you got some value from it.
Definitely a nice flight! My friend just bought a Mooney M2 edition as well, and he was telling me about the service he can get at Lancaster. I’m going to send him this video, so he can see where he needs to go, and how it will probably play out. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the kind words.
what a fun adventure! Cant wait to do some flights like this. long XC's just for fun. Also never even had to consider negative density altitude lol brisk indeed. great channel
Bada Bing! and Boing Boing Boing....It was like watching Tony Soprano fly a M20J and causing trouble in FL 😂. Can’t criticize though; you checked Density Alt, know the M20J well, managed NY airspace and long xcountry under VFR (anything longer than 75nm, I file IFR). Only things: 1) You’re PIC and can request rwy23 if you feel it’s safer, you don’t need to take what’s assigned to you. 2) Finals need to be slower and no flat landings in a M20...otherwise you know it, Boing....
Nice. Ignore the armchair popcorn munchers.
Great Video! True Jersey Pilot with the NY/NJ Alphabet..(Every word starts with 'F'in') " Too much F'in Tailwind"! Love it!!
You and I have a lot in common, the "F" bombs and full bladder. ha ha. That's me when I fly.
Great video, good safe pilot.
I love it, and completely agree! I love being able to get in a general aviation aircraft, and go wherever my hearts desire. Now I don’t have my own airplane yet, but I’m working on it. So I’m still in the renting room. But suffice it to say, I completely agree with your sentiment. It’s awesome! Fly well, brother!
Did you preheat the engine or was the hangar heated?
Remote preheated is plugged in all the time. Controles from cell phone.
Profanity is a sign of ignorance. ... and he is a pilot?
Judgement of others is a sign of self disdain.
Good call with the go around, but remember you are the PIC and can request a different runway if you think another one is better suited. I flew a Mooney for several years. They are wonderful aircraft but very speed sensitive on landing. I think the tailwind caused you to be high and you tried to force the plane to the runway. (Tail wind was probably about 6 kts as I heard the controller say 270 @ 7) That just doesn't work in a slick plane like the Mooney. I see the haters below but I didn't see anything that made me think you were unsafe! I see inexperience, but we can only gain experience by getting out there and doing. Be smart about it and set personal minimums based on honest self evaluation and a trusted CFI's evaluation. Fly safe and enjoy that Mooney!
Thank you, sir. I appreciate that post a lot. Only about 350 hours total and about 250 in the Mooney.
@@gilt8112After 33 years of owning the same Mooney, I’ll still get surprised on landings. Good call on the go around. When you said you were indicating 92 knots, your ground speed is 92 plus whatever tailwind component you had. If you held it off, you’d probably have a hard time landing even on that long runway. I shoot for 70 knots on final, slightly more if I’m heavy.
Great video man you guys crack me up lol
great video. I fly out of ISP
If too fast on the flare, you can cut the flaps to cut the lift. I used to teach that trick to my after solo students. On low wingers you need to stop the nose from raising when cutting the flaps on low wingers. It is a good trick. It avoids those go arounds. I used to teach in central jersey in the 1990's..
Issue is at that ground speed with a tail wind it’s hard to control on the ground. Also, once cutting flaps a go around makes it more dangerous.
Nice Job enjoyed the go around. This is what people need to see. Thanks you and safe travels.
Two stops by police for ?
Haterade.
Did they not teach you to include your call sign with all your transmissions, including read back?!
nice job Gil
👍
You guys need to take this show on the road. You had me in stitches. Just don't sing. Thanks for showing us you going through the checklist on the ground in Statesville.
Thank you, brother. It’s all for fun and entertainment. Glad you got a laugh this morning. 🙏
Pretty funky aftermarket dial, Gil. Oh, and the approach angles looked good from this Cessna guy. Bit of a chunky one with the tailwind, but it happens in unfavorable conditions. Decent, authentic content without filler, new sub here.
In 22 years of flying this video has tons of poor aeronautic decision making all over.
When constructive criticism lacks a resolution it lacks the constructive aspect and just becomes criticism. You can do better. 🙏
@gilt8112 One of the things that caught my attention were the landings. Your approaches are too high, far exceeding an acceptable angle approach...I get that sometimes we can't do 3°, but when the runway looks the way it does outside of the windshield, you're too high. Go around until you're confident you have the right angle. As a student pilot, I've learned one thing: finesse. Instead of pulling and slamming the controls, be delicate. Delicate touch, good angles equals to buttery smooth landings......hope this helps
Was watching and seemed to be too be ramming controls too abruptly, and sloppy control.
Good vlog. IMO, you may benefit from polishing your radio skills.
Great video. So where did you get the Mooney beanie from?
Thank you. It was a few years ago on a website. Can’t recall which. Google Mooney branded clothing.
Nice Vid!!! As a pilot myself I was curious as to why your read back altitudes as six point five instead of six thousand five hundred
Pure laziness. Eventually we all get there. 🤦♂️
561 to 303...Palm Beach Reprefuckinsent
Nice video, but question, asking as a ppl, if ADIS weather indicated runway 5, why accept the opposite and in your own words, deal with a 20 kt tail wind. As PIC you can say "unable" based on airplane and/or experience. Nice landing on second approach. It is something to go from 9 degrees to 75 in one day. Good life. Maybe don't drive so fast.
ATIS suggested 23. Tower assigned 5 claiming “variable” so we tried it (11K runway). The outcome was a go around so we went back for 23 which is what I wanted in the first place. Joe was driving, not me.
great job Gil
Great video gil .If you ever pass buy Tpa, stop by and say hi
TPA in 3 weeks.
I’ll be here
Nice pre take off check list Gil! 😃 The visual of 90kts ground speed is really interesting… Nice car collection in Palm Beach!
Airspeed was 93. Ground speed was over 100 with the tail wind. Yeah, we keep some fun cars down there.
This was great. Thanks for sharing. It was especially educational for the tail wind landing in a Mooney and how you handled the bounce. What I got out of it was "keep a close eye on the speed all the way and don't hesitate on a go-around." Then getting pulled over by the same cop twice was a kicker. On top of all that, the award for "Most NJ Pilot" should go to you! Thanks again for sharing!
Hahaha laughing at the most NJ pilot. So yeah, Mooney’s float forever. You have to fly the air speed on final or you’re floating forever. You see how far past the 1,000 marker and still floating at idle. I knew coming in at speed this wasn’t going down but with 11K feet I figured let’s see how much we can bleed off. The tail made it impossible.
👍
Lol Great video guys...kept it real
Happy new year! 🙏
Hey Gil! Fancy running into you here again… We met at a Mooney fly-in / lunch a couple of years ago… I enjoyed flying along with you guys today! Stall horn barely beeps before the mains touch… perfect! 😃
Hey there. Thank you for the kind words. Safe flying. 🙏
Hi Gil, your videos really inspire me. Just got my PPL a few weeks back( 56 years old lol). Looking at planes. Really Want to get a Mooney J. Do you think I’m getting ahead of myself and should just get a girly Cessna plane to start off in? Thanks!
Hey there. So glad to hear that. Congrats. The J was my first plane. I actually purchased it while still a student pilot and then did my dual time after my PPL. If you’re proficient and it’s fits your mission then go for it. Swapping planes is expensive. Get what you like now and grow with it. Just ensure a good Mooney CFI trains you in your new J. :)
Serious question here, but what was your decision for a straight in approach once you heard someone in the pattern? Does the recent FAA Circular 90-66C change that decision for the future? Mooney owner here, so really curious what the Mooney community thinks about straight ins vs using the standard pattern.
Hey, thanks for asking. I think the main key to an untowered approach is CTAF communication and visual separation. I got on with the traffic in the downwind immediately and we made a mutual decision. Had he demanded a base turn I would have yielded with either a right 360 for separation or seen if I have enough speed to enter the pattern on an upwind leg. In this case, he yielded to my final.
Nice video Gil! Excellent example of Mooney flying.
Thank you for the kind words. 🙏
Cool. I see your M20J and raise you a Turbo M20K N39MG😊. My buddy and I bought it in 1995 on handshake and sold it in 2010. We were based at Danbury. I moved to JAX FL in 2002. We continued the partnership till 2010 and flew it regularly from KDXR to JAX - KHEG. Could beat the airlines when you considered door to door. We burned 55 gallons and 5 hours. I built an experimental RANS S-19 (similar to a Grumman AA-1A) and fly out of Cape Fear NC KSUT.
Awesomeness. Keep flying and stay safe. 💪🏼
Grew up in Milltown. Now live in Tom's River. 17 hours of fight time logged so far. You have a new Sub. Flying vicariously through you right now
Hell yeah man. Keep at it. Sometimes you second guess yourself but just keep on pushing!!!
Where did you get your sun visor??
It was in the plane when I bought it. 🤷🏻♂️
Cool. I’ll see ya around. I’m at old bridge too
Awesome. What are you flying?
@@gilt8112 the 172RG that was tied down but Dave and I just moved to central. I was about to get a J for Florida trips
@@kasm10 I’m considering a Malibu for FL trips, both for useful load and speed.
This flight, did you guys rent a car ? Are usually fly and Albert whited
We rented a car in Florida, yes.
Nice landing
Thank you. 🙏
