The only thing haunts me, where the maintenance support guy was hiding during first leg on cruise phase? 😊
Back in cargo compartment he has a luxury sun-bed from Decathlon 🤗 And a thermos with hot coffee 👍🏿
Who needs seatbelts🤣@@KFEAvia
@@aviationmayhemhis sun-bed has an extra cargo seat belt. Can hold 1250 KG restrain ;)
I used to work as an aerodrome inspector I remember very well Piestany - small regional aerodrome where everyone from staff was doing practicaly everything. I have to smile because I remeber those trucks which looked like from WWII :) Anyway the airport is small hence very nice with people who try their best to run the airport even it is quite difficult. Great video.
Absolutely nice stuff.
When sis you see those trucks, year i mean ? :)
Hi Konstantin, I am just amazed you visited the very town I was born and the very airport I started to fly gliders - Piešťany. And I am glad you liked it (obviously Porto is something else but your hometown remains special wherever you go ;))
Thanks for a comment! Pestany is a nice town, i really liked it!
Awesome stuff. Reminds me a bit of Borat of Kazakhstan! ;-)
Haha thanks 😀😀😀
Hi Konstantin, thanks for taking us along on your flight from Slovakia to Portugal. Seems like in flying you have to constantly deal with watching the weather and possible change in flight plan. Glad that you went up another 1,000 feet as it was night to see the Blue Sky and the White puffy clouds below.
Thanks, Ben!
Truly, the weather is the most important thing.
It can affect airplane’s power by getting iced up and when anti ice systems are in; and also it can affect the fuel - you might want to deviate from the planned route.
Weather is the key 🔑
@KFEAvia I really like and enjoy watching your videos. I love the way you talk about the aircraft, the route, and, well just everything!!!! I would love to meet you someday. I'm from USA, and I'm not even a pilot however I have a airplane. Thank you for doing you 👌👍🫡.
@@CookinCasey Casey, good day!
Thanks for the feedback!
Who flies your airplane? :)
@KFEAvia my brother is the pilot and caretaker of my plane. Thank you for your reply. Mucho Gracias
No more Airmen in FAA-land, the US have switched to Notice to Air Missions All gender criteria met :-)
Beautiful old workhorse, in some quiet nights I can hear one of them humming above. Thanks for the great video.
Thats right, 80% NIGHTS in cargo ops :) 🥱💤
Excellent video. Extraordinary cinematography 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it, thank you ☺️ What did you like most about cinematography?
@@KFEAvia all the things regarding cinematic shorts along with the background musics…..your explanation of different functions and procedures was also great. Nice shorts….waiting for nxt video
Congrats Konsti, what a nice video. I am happy to see you enjoying aviation.
Thanks, Uli!
Yeah, thats was a nice turn in my life - towards the skies ✈️
Thank you for sharing your airline life!@😊😊
Happy you like it, do you fly? Privately?
@@KFEAvia Thanks. I use to fly on the commercial side.
Big thank you for sharing your view from your office window with us 🤝 Fantastic channel l found by accident, now I'm a subscriber.
Marko, welcome to my channel and thanks for the warm feedback. 🤝
I flew on a 340 years ago. It was like being on a little hot rod. Very cool little plane. 😊
Thanks!
The plane is cool, indeed 🤗
Very Cool Video .Thank you very much .
Glad you liked it! 👍🏿
Konstantin as always a great inspiration for "young" pilots. Nice music and well done. We read you 5.
Thank you very much, i am happy i motivate newcomers to aviation - thats the scope of my vlog
Superb Konstantin
Thank you 🤝
Thank you for sharing that interesting flight vlog sir, I enjoyed it greatly.
Regards from South Africa
Thank you!
Never been to SA yet, i heard is cool there :)
The Saab is a beauty aircraft. Thank you for sharing this video. A viewer from New Zealand.
Wow i know you have some regional SAAB340 flying from Australia to New Zeland, right?
@@KFEAvia I am unsure about that. As far as I know, the Saab is used for short flights within N.Z.
Погнали наши городских!))) - хорошо
👏
What a fun video, I enjoyed watching it. Subbed 🤩👍
Thank you 🤗 Subscription is the best sign
good report captain for your explication aeronautical👍...i like your humour too ..lol :) ...fly safe :)
Glad you enjoyed it! 🤝
Nice! I've seen your SF34 at LEMG a few times before.
Yeah, LEMG is a popular destination for both cargo and biz jet flying :)
Thank you great video i really like your flight story! Now you have a follower from Mexico! Cheers!
Ha! Just yesterday in Germany i met the pilot from Mexico, he helped me to choose a proper tequila 🤗 Wasn’t that you? :)
@@KFEAvia wow haha! Nice great man! I hope he recommend you the good one! Have great flights and once again cheers!
очень крутое видео. концовка расслабляющая)))
Спасибо 😉
Great video! New subscriber. 😊
Thanks for subbing! 🤝
✈ Muito bom,estou assistindo aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Respectado, Brazil! 🤝
@@KFEAvia Thank you 🤝
Nice video* thanks.
Halo, danke 😀
Immer gerne*@@KFEAvia
Very nice but I noticed that you forgot the harnesses during landing on first landing 😊
You know, we do part of videos in the simulator, so could be, could be ;)
Thanks!
Hello, I watched your video clip from Thailand. And every time you fly, I wish you good luck.😋❤️
Thank you very much, are you a pilot? How is flying in Thailand?
Great video!!
If fleetair are looking for new pilot ! I've just got my cpl IR me licence sooo I'm here 😅
They are if you have EASA licences, you have to pay around 27k EUR for type rating via Aviacom.
I almost went for it but they let me know that they cannot take me as I don’t have EU passport :(
Hi!
Thanks!
Fleetair does need pilots, but you would need to sponsor your type rating 💸
Make sure you come and visit us in the tower next time you’re at EGGP
Oooh shoot. Possible pilot deviation, I have a number for you to call - meets the tube of yous.
😀😀😀 Is it that bad?
Hey captain :) It is now Notice to Air Missions but "notice to pilots" would have been better :D
Heheh, not in all languages. In Ukrainian female pilot would be pilotesa 😳 I don’t mind anyways
Hello. I'm surprised to see you flying at FL 260. I drive the 'A' model down here in New Zealand and I must admit at times with anti ice on we struggle to get above FL 150. I have on occasion descended to 110 due air frame icing to stay above 160kts. We are about to start operating an 'A' model freighter, I'm interested to see how she performs. T/O weight is the same so not anticipating any difference. The comment below about being a 'hot rod' I'm not sure about, more like a comfortable armchair. I do like flying the Saab tho. Cheers.
Wow, i guess it is due to higher empty weight because the pax seats installed, lavatory is there, kitchen, overhead bins, etc.
In our A model we always do 240, 250, sometimes even higher, not really exceeding normal cruise max ITT of 850 degrees.
Let me know how freighter performs, i am curious 🧐
And thanks for a comment 🤝
@@KFEAviaYou guys don't have a lavatory? Your bladders must be made of stone 😮
@@markotango54 `Do you really want to know
@@KFEAviaI'm a Train Driver, l guess l already know your tricks 🥴😂
@@markotango54 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿✊✊✊😂😂😂
nice video, will you make videos on pc12 or tbm one day ?
Thanks!
Absolutely!!!
Nice one Captain but if I may suggest something, it would be nice to show us the whole start up sequence( how to start the engines etc.)
Will do it in one of my next videos and i will put a lot of cameras pointing to those areas which are important in the engine start sequence 👏
Hey Konstantin, now it Notice to the Aeronaut
Hi, thanks 🙏
I missed that, i heard there was a discussion about airman and woman 😀😀😀
Hey Konstantin, next time you can ask my colleagues in Bremen for vectors when you are to busy to change the approach always. Just request vectors for the ILS Approach. They will assist you for sure.
Thanks for the tip!
You work on the Approach?
@@KFEAviaWorking in Bremen Center but not direct for Hannover. i need to now the whole Bremen FIR. Im sitting in the training simulator for the controllers and writing airspace exercise for them. that they can train and keeping their proficiency,
Amazing video.
Does the jump seat not have full harness, just a lap belt?
It has both, but if a jump seater is strapped with belt over his waist - it is more then enough :)
Exciting video, thank you. Shouldn't your jumpseat person also be strapped in? Could end badly if he's still flying in front in turbulence.
Thanks! He is strapped, with waist harness only though :)
Костя и Швец и жнец и на дуде игрец 😜👍 , конечно касаемо путешествий по воздуху вместе с нами 👍
Рад, что нравится и ощущается, будто вы рядом :)
Very inconvenient location for the GPU plug, from the ground handler's point of view.
Absolutely. ATR has it in the front.
However, there was some reason Saab did it that way, i am sure 😀
Essa aeronave tem um histórico de não suportar climas extremamente frios,ou seja,não é muito apropriada para lidar com gelo pois perde sustentação ...é a impressão que eu tenho por causa da série (May day desastres aéreos),já vi acidentes envolvendo Saab 340 por causa de gelo.
Hm, it has something to do with the payload and usage of anti ice systems i assume. SAAB is in Sweden, where else it is colder and more snowy in Europe? 😀
@@KFEAviaThank you my friend ❤
джакузі це за шмат для авіэшн адвайзер , waiting for your next leg
Jacuzi це - обовʼязково в моєму райдері 😀😎
very good captain next time i give the cokkies ok , be safe
Thanks, Norton! 🤝
4:58 😂😅😊
😀👌
Hello! Great video, any info regarding the fuel burn per hour at cruise speed? Thank you! Regards!
Good question. 375 kg per hour at 250 KT TAS.
@@KFEAvia very kind of you! God Speed!
🇨🇦🇵🇹
Cheers! :)
Can I ask why the captain is holding the yoke during landing? Is it an SOP or it's some ex-AN26 driver habit? :))
😀😀😀 Ex AN-26 habit, but i am fine, in the end it is Commander’s call whether the landing is gonna be safe or not…
Нотам сейчас расшифровывают как notice to airmission
Точно, упустил это 😬
So what’s the best thing/advantage with this aircraft?
Cost of operation is VERY low.
Is that Garmin pilot on the pad?
Thats ForeFlight, before, we used JeppMobileFD, but now Foreflight, i like it a lot.
@@KFEAvia We use SkyDemon mostly ( Experimental GA) Blue skies!
wouldn't you like to become an airline pilot ?
Heyyy.
I am an airline pilot - i have ATPL 😀
But if you mean flying on a scheduled air carrier - i would say no.
Booooring - you see no new places, only airport gates 😀
@@KFEAvia yes I expressed myself badly, I know you have ATPL, I wanted to say, in a company
@@KFEAvia yeah I understand, at least you look happy through your videos that’s the main thing
Nobody wants to become an airline pilot. It takes all the fun away 😮
surely when you're descending you are using less fuel not more
Sometimes it even shows “refuelling” - calculated fuel at the destination raises by couple kilograms in the FMS 😀
Seat belts in right seat?
Always!!!
@@KFEAvia At 8:39 min of video you see the pilot in the left seat with seat belts correctly placed with chest belts according to safety regulations. But the pilot in rigth seat (you) dont'use. How is it explained?
@@Brumiani dear subscriber, our production team records parts of the video content in the simulator and on the ground, simulating in flight operations. As well as this, the manufactured video content undergoes through bunch of editing.
⚠️ CAUTION ⚠️ DO NOT USE THIS CONTENT FOR ANY TRAINING PURPOSES!
Ohhh, I see. Thanks
Portugal 3:2 Slovakia. :D
Haha did you came from football search? 👀😅
@@KFEAvia haha, nope :D just saw the highlights of the match earlier today and now watched your video (like always) and found out it is the same countries :D I thought maybe you carried Ronaldo in the cargo :D :D :D
@@aviatordalala yeah, i googled 3:2 😅
Ronaldo plays for Portugal?!
Yeah, still playing. Scored 2 yesterday :D@@KFEAvia
Очень хорошо, что авиагоризонт - это флаг Украины
funny guy
Thanks 🤩
The French controllers are really hard to understand.
Haha, true, but when you hear them a lot - you can reproduce the accent 😀😀😀
Привет Константин когда уже будет на украинском или русском языке, спасибо за видео.
Да поддерживаю, а то нечего не понятно 😢
Эх, ребята, думаю, не скоро 😕 Но Английский ведь международный язык пилотов 😇
@@KFEAvia согласен, но видео не для пилотов наверно а для всех кто тоже любит небо как и пилоты..
The pilot in the left seat looks like a heart attack waiting to happen..thought medical were very strict for pilots
Ahahha, why heart attack, looks too stressed? 😀😀😀
Really , are you a keptaeen ? So what , who cares ? 😅
I am the real real one :)
@@KFEAvia ok , but don’t be too arrogant, it’s not a big deal to become a pilot , you only need a lot of money 💰 ! By the way , I am a Skydiver ! You need a bigger balls for this , go and try it ! 😂
@@calinutza33 I agree, it is not cheap and i never say it is impossible to be a pilot, even bear can ride a bicycle, hence human can fly the plane after some training.
Skydive - no thanks, i have fear of height)))))))))))
Костя, ты используешь внешние GPS модули на iPad, или тебе достаточно внутреннего ?
Хороший вопрос!
В самолете мы используем дополнительно приемник GPS, так как из-за электро-обогрева стекла (предполоительно) плоховастенько берет. В маленьких только ацпеда хватает.
Но обязательно жолжна быть функция GSM!
