  • 2 Week Trial of Our Courses- mzeroa.lpages.... - This weeks video is much longer than a typical MzeroA.com video but I wanted to share with you a recent flight from KIFP to KSEZ. During this video you will see the challenges presented during a long cross country flight over the Grand Canyon through special flight rules airspace. Some of these challenges include a 360 degree climbing turn to clear a ridge-line (00:11:17), receiving VFR flight following in route (00:29:50), communication issues with relay communications from another pilot (00:35:25), and high density altitude aircraft performance.

    There is something relaxing about just following Jason on a cross country flight. Would definitely love to see more of this type content. It’s both educational, entertaining, and inspiring. Honestly, series like this are what are truly inspiring me to become a pilot.

    I haven't read what others have said, but this full flight format is fantastic. I really enjoyed it and it helped my 'need to fly' bug. Also thanks for the self-talk. It reminds me of all that goes through a pilot's head when flying. Keep up the great work

    Jason this your best video yet! I entered your flight plan on my subscription of foreflight and followed along. I could understand a lot more than just watching. Very interactive. You should encourage your other viewers to do so as it is very helpful and no one else builds videos around it. Bty I don’t usually post comments but I really loved this video!!! More long distance trips! Perhaps over water like the Bahamas or maybe Mexico boarder crossing. Very fun vid!

    Gotta say, that was great watching your entire flight. Hearing your thoughts at each stage along the route was very instructionsl. Although, that is now a must-do flight. I live about 30 miles from the Canyon and am now going to work a route over it to Monument Valley. Just a little info, there is rarely a day in this area (KIGM) where the surface winds are not a solid 15-20 often gusting to 35-40. You all at MzeroA do a great job providing quality instruction in an easy-to-understand manner. Love your channel.

    Hey Jason I just came across this video randomly on UA-cam. I thought I recognized your voice I did my part 107 training with you. And actually I need to go back because I let it expired.I need to go back through your course again online and get the baby updated it. I’m also a private pilot and Sedona is one of my favorite places to fly to. I did my private pilot training in Phoenix Sky Harbor years ago. I actually met you in person at the drone conference in Vegas several years ago. Interdrone I believe it was. Anyway thanks for the great videos.

And for sure your landing there highlighted transition and not flare!!! Hope you enjoy the good food that's a great place to eat at Sedona airport. Jason the flight that you just conducted there is the type of VFR following flight that I've always wanted to do but never had the time. I've enjoyed the video so much I think I'll have a cup of coffee and watch it again. Corially, Chuck📖🛫🛬

    Great to see you fly the Canyon. I flew it this morning as well taking off from Marble airport L41, through all the corridors and flew at 14,800' MSL over the entire river back to KPGA. I ran the river in a raft last month on a private trip with friends (highly recommended) and was able to see the rapids we ran, easy to recognize from above. On the way back to KGUC from KPGA I had to divert to KBDG Blanding UT and stay overnight as there were strong gusting winds at home. Time to look at some YT videos. Glad to find this one. Sedona was one of my target destinations as well, but it will be for another time. Thanks for your video.

    You’re flying in my backyard. I commute from KTUS thru this region frequently in my Archer II.
    Flying the corridors in the GC is spectacular but you’ve got to land at L41 at Marble Canyon. Descending down below the canyon rim and landing on a narrow, crooked and rough asphalt runway is a challenge but talk about an experience you won’t soon forget.
    Happy flying!

    • @adamhart1293
      @adamhart1293 5 років тому +1

      Aaron Weisblatt you can lean the mixture at any DA. It’s done by monitoring the EGT indicator. Slowly pulling the mixture watching for an increase in EGT, continue to pull until you notice a slight decrease in EGT. Reverse the action and push mixture in slightly to return to peak EGT or a bit more forward for safety.
      It’s best to keep it a little more forward as any change in altitude or throttle position will require you to adjust the mixture again

    • @tiny_toilet
      @tiny_toilet 4 роки тому +1

      @@AaronWbirdman Peak EGT does not change significantly with altitude. Either way, just find the peak as you lean out and then bring it a bit lower with further leaning (or by going back a little richer if you swing that way). Could do the same with peak RPMs for a given power setting, too, which will be more responsive than EGT anyway. And if you're adjusting as you climb, it makes sense to shoot for lean of peak since the proper setting will always be leaner as you go up. Then, you can aim on the rich side upon descent. Just don't stay _on_ peak since it's not great for the engine.
