This was a nice surprise in my suggested videos today. Really well put together and a joy to watch! Keep putting out videos like this - I am looking forward to watching this channel grow!
Thanks Daniel. Unfortunately, growing a UA-cam Channel is a Full time Job and something i don't have a lot of time for.. BUT.. I will do the best i can to put out a video here and there. i'm just finishing up editing a Catalina Island Video. Fly safe and say hello if you're ever in my area.
@@onyx5226 I understand - I put out a weekly video on my other channel, and while it's not full time, it's about 10x more effort than I ever anticipated it would be. I can tell you've put a lot of effort into your content and I'm enjoying what you have released so far. Really looking forward to your next one! Fly safe, and make videos when the time feels right!
@@dellfonda7544 182 is a great aircraft. I got my PPL in the aircraft from the Video.I've flown it to the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos, in all kinds of weather with No autopilot.. Good times!
@@onyx5226 I’m assuming that you became the owner of it before/during your training for PPL so that’s great! Saved some money in the end versus renting! I enjoyed the 182, although as a student pilot adjusting the propeller for desired manifold pressure proved to add to the difficulty. Hopefully I’ll get to fly more actively and get my PPL soon.
@@dellfonda7544 My family has owned the airplane for 3 generations, my grandfather purchased it and my father picked it up from the Cessna Factory in 1972 at the age of 22 and has had it ever since. I did pay for avionics upgrades, annuals, maintenance, modifications, interior pieces, and much more...so while i didn't pay much during my PPL training, i've definitely spent more on that airplane than it is worth monetarily over the past couple years. But that airplane has so much sentimental value it'll never be for sale. I will make a video about that at a later date. As for the prop on the 182, it does add a level of difficulty but think of it similar to a manual transmission on a car. When you're on the highway you can shift into gear to "maintain" your speed. In a car when you need to go up a steep hill, you down shift, in an airplane like the 182 if you need to rapidly climb, the prop knob gets pushed in, on a descent the prop knob comes out etc... I used that analogy with my students when i was a flight instructor 10+ years ago. Keep working on your ppl, don't let too much time lapse between lessons. 🤙
@@onyx5226 Wow! I totally understand the desire to keep it airworthy after going through 3 generations in your family. That’s a really awesome story and it’s cool that you are able to fly the same airplane that you did your PPL in. That’s a really good analogy for the prop. I’m not saying it was crazy difficult, but being a zero time student pilot getting thrown into the 182 it just seemed like one more thing to the long list of things to keep me stressed out. It was a lot of fun though! I’m trying to work it out financially to start training and not have to stop so there are no significant gaps in training. For now it’s just studying for the written. Thanks!
I appreciate the hand flying IFR IMC.
1963 C182F owner here in Anchorage!
Thanks Cameron.
@15:30 I love her she has such a soothing voice and professional attitude. Always nice when you're busy on the instruments.
She should be on the Calm app.
@@onyx5226 I fly over North San Diego County every day, and all the old guys on our crews fight over who gets to talk to her.
@@skooli2 HAHA. Gotta love the old timers. I'll probably be doing the same when i get up there in years.
Your 182 looks so clean! I like that leather-wrapped yoke!
Thanks. The upholstery guy has some mad skills.

Excellent video, you make it look effortless!
Thank you sir. I got my private in this airplane over 15 years ago. It flies straight and true which helps a lot.
Thanks for the video! I miss SOCAL! I hope you have a most wonderful flight back! Of course, my compliments on buttering 28L.
I Recently moved to Norcal so i'm gonna miss that Socal flying too!
Nice running into you today P! Btw I passed my IFR checkride! 🙌 In part cuz of such good videos! Really like your comms. See you in the skies.
Yes!!! Congrats! Nice talking to you today! Blue side up brother!
Awesome video! I’ll be on the lookout for others!

That was some expert flying. Watched it over a cup of Sunday morning Java. Thanks for posting!!
Thanks James! Glad you enjoyed it!
Enjoy the flight I hadn't done that in a long time
Glad you can make it. I recorded a couple others, just gotta find time to edit them!
Champagne vending machines!
Haha, they do!
What was the music used in the opening?
Chill Winston - Delusional
@@onyx5226 Thanks! Excellent video, btw.
