I am not a pilot just a 50-year-old aviation enthusiast- I am always so impressed when pilots get to minimums and out of the heavens the runway shows up right in front of you I love it.
Yes, it's impressive. What's more impressive is a GCA (ground-controlled approach). I used to practice those in a helicopter in the military. You have the glidescope on the panel but you basically follow the controller's talkdown. I was always impressed at the end and you look out of the cockpit and you're right over the numbers. Great work on the controller's part. By the way, you would normally not take it down that far without a co-pilot.
Thanks so much for the tutorial on your your RNAV works. You have a beautiful Malibu and very well equipped. Great job in landing in a pucker situation. I pays to have great equipment and you are a very competent pilot!!!
Terrific. Congrats. There are tons of channels about aviation, but just a few that really shows the pilot point of view... Keep going, I'm with you capitain!
Thank you for sharing this video with us all, I found it truly amazing and exciting as you flew through the cloud. A big thank you for allowing us access to your flight from a UK 🇬🇧 fan.
Bravo, bravo 👏👏👏👏👏 I love your channel although I stop flying over 30 years ago I do enjoy your flying always. Best regards from San Juan, Puerto Rico, stay safe.
Hi malibuflyer. Love the content....whatever you do please keep up the good work, and keep those great educational videos going. I've read all the comments and a great pilot like you will review the pertinent observations.... like we do when we self analyze our just completed flights for learnings. Your videos are real world flying by a very proficient , humble pilot...well done.
Very enjoyable! I am going for my Instrument rating at this time. Helpful to see an entire short flight and how you flew it. Great to see the wife helping. I will be learning with steam gauges and first generation GPS. Just starting the flying part. Look forward watching more. Thank you.
Hand flying an approach in IMC is impressive. Giving a running commentary, fielding questions from your wife and making it look easy is VERY impressive. Superb job thoroughly enjoyed it.
That was great. I appreciate you posting these flights. You are quite vocal as you go along and it's useful to hear your thought processes as you go. I also see that you have had some coaching... I can hear your instructor saying ok what's the problem.... ok fix that. ;)
You were in my area today. I Live north of Springfield a bit. We had severe weather and one radar indicated Tornado warning about 8:00 pm tonight. Glad you were long gone by then! Drizzle, NW wind and getting colder now. So nice to see your family and that beautiful aircraft. Take Care and looking forward to your next VLOG.
I really like your channel! I’m a pilot too and I’m based in Italy where I work as FO on a Learjet40. I love the Malibu, my favourite piston GA aircraft. Can you shoot a video where you talk about how much it cost to own and operate your plane (maintenance/insurance etc)? It would be so interesting. I can't wait to see your other adventures. Cheers and nice landings!
That was a very cool video! Nice to see you getting some actual IMC time. I have not seen anyone do a full approach to minimums in awhile, hopefully the rest of your trip was not as challenging.
We are getting into flying and really have enjoyed your videos! We are in the early stages but looking to purchase a PA-46. Your videos have been great for my wife and I! Very helpful in solidifying our choice to purchase a PA-46. We have two little girls and really just seems like a great family plane! The videos are great!! Thank you!
Nice video as usual! The wife looked a little concerned as you took off and climbed into the overcast, but she did a great job of keeping up with the airplane, assisting you and doing a good job as a right seater! My daughter and I always enjoy your videos!
Wow. my palms are still sweaty... Awesome approach John. I think your co-pilot (wife) was praying to see the ground before she saw it. Don't blame her. I'm a 71 USAF, Vietnam F-105 driver, F101B also. Could have used your avionics getting into Danang Some nights. GCA approach was a help, ADF approach as well. Nice Job, Hope Katy had one eye open. She's a lucky young Lady...
@@Guardman123u It is not an airline. It is a GA! With more freedom! He knows the risks and knows his skills. Well done Rnav approach. It is known that airlines declare mayday when they loose the autopilot! (joking - but you get the idea). Handflying is vital.
absolutely should be challenging himself and hand flying approaches. looking at the avionics he has, i'd be pretty disappointed if he was an IFR rated pilot who couldn't fly an approach to minima with that gear.
That was an exciting video for a NON IFR pilot. It was a little stressful to see you flying the approach with the plane flying opposite your direction. I know you are flying the numbers and headings but it is unnerving to watch from my perspective. I enjoyed watching you correct with little changes to get back on glideslope and localizer. Great video, thanks for showing us real world flying.
Glad you're back in the sky. Or maybe making videos again. I almost never see people fly in that kind of weather. You have no fear. lol You are good. WOW.
Whew, great hand flying in the soup to minimums, and good to have a helpful copilot. Your Malibu and avionics are awesome. Your passengers in the back didn’t look too concerned though. Enjoyed that and look forward to more ifr flights.
I watch a lot of flying video and honestly, most are kinda boring. This is the 1st time I have seen one of your videos. This video was FAR from boring!! Very nicely done on the ILS in actual IMC. NICE! I don't think Steveo could have top that one. ~~GOOD STUFF~~
Excellent video. I'm sure you did that for experience and our benefit and not just cheap gas in that weather, while adding an extra hour to a 5 hour trip. Regardless, nice job. And lovely co-pilot. Great job..
Nice work.. Some things I learned once working as a CFI-I. Altitude callouts. I like to count down from 1000 above DA or MDA. 900 to go.. 800, 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 etc. Also, a bit of adverse yaw on approach. I don't fly your airplane, so I don't know how bad it is or what kind of ride you had, but I remind myself, when I move the yoke, I move the rudders. Great CRM using your wife to look for the runway! Great video!
Great approach..... that was for sure to minimums.... I fly a C310 here in Maine building churches all over our state! Stay at it! Love the channel. 🙋♂️
Jesus said to me "help spread the word!..... by enjoying yourself flying airplanes around, while so many in the US are living in desperate poverty". US Christianity is one sick joke. Get out of your plane and go and wash a homeless person's feet, as Jesus would.
@@droge192 It always interest me that complete strangers understand completely our full scope of the ministry. Actually we spent most of the year taking care of the homeless in our community. John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: I pray you have received Christ as your personal Savior!
Great work! Just got my ifr ticket his past summer, my mim,s are 2000’ and 2sm for 6 months or as experience dictates in my V35B... very encouraging and reinforcing following procedure!
Great job! I was hoping you'd accept the challenge. :-) I am surprised the Garmin doesn't have the HITS. Pretty cool flying through the boxes. Thanks for the video, and don't let the "you should have let the AP fly the approach" people get to you. Autopilots do fail and it's better to have that actual "down to minimums" practice and confidence when you need it.
Really helpful and interesting video as a fellow pilot who flies on instruments but is out of practice. One question: Considering the cloud base took you right to minimums, how long would a missed approach have taken and would you have come around and tried again, or flown to an alternate>? I ask because it looks as though you were way low on fuel, but I'm not certain.
Thanks for posting great videos flying the Malibu. Maybe I cant read your fuel gauges right but it looks like you landed with 16 gallons total shooting an approach to minimums.
Great skills , great job! I enjoy the content. That being said, with the amount of high time high experience pilots that have botched an approach after a short flight. I think it was poor decision making to do a short hard IFR flight to save money. Nothing wrong with saving a buck when possible, but if this hobby was about saving money it wouldn’t exist because we would all be flying commercial. God Bless and stay safe.
Not sure how much fuel you had for the quick trip for cheap fuel, but with the wide swath of low IFR conditions, was that a smart decision for a few bucks of savings? If it were me, I would have paid the extra at the departure airport, saved some extra time on the long trip, and perhaps enjoyed a bit of extra safety. We are flying expensive PA-46s to begin with, so trying to save on fuel seems counter-intuitive.
@@rdawgz866, yes, Malibu’s are safe (I own one myself). But, assuming he didn’t have a lot of fuel (hence the trip to buy cheaper fuel to fill the tanks for a long trip home), the safety aspect would entail not having a lot of options if he had to go missed considering the widespread low IFR conditions. Seems to be unnecessary risk for a savings of a few dollars which would have been further offset by the extra fuel burn (Malibu’s burn 35-38 gph in the climb). All of that extra time and effort combined with the increased risk for a few dollars would not be worth it to me (especially with my family on board).
@@malibujack4852 he is obviously a proficient pilot but its just the unnecessary extra risk thsts an issue. I fly a Cirrus SR22, also very capable cross country aircraft. I would have no problem shooting an approach to 200 or so over minimums with my family on board. But I would not take off into 400ovc with less than 30 gallons of fuel, then approach to minimums to save $75 or to support a local business. Had he gone missed I am not even sure if he had a close enough adequate alternate.
@@rdawgz866 that’s my point exactly. I have no issue shooting low approaches either. But I have had to go missed on more than one occasion after shooting an approach to 200 and a half mile vis, and having enough fuel to get me to a place to make it in is of great importance. Under those conditions, I always flight plan for having more than 2 hours of fuel at destination. I do love his videos and he appears to be a safe pilot, so I’m sure he had considered the risks. Btw, love the Cirrus also. I remember how they started in the experimental ranks. I built and own a composite Velocity; another great airplane. Cheers!

Welcome Back ! Haven't seen any videos for a while. God Bless you and your Family :):)
Great to see such support from your wife and a great job too. I also love to see your family flying along with you.
Excellent IMC flight video! Thank you for sharing your skills.

Terrific. Congrats. There are tons of channels about aviation, but just a few that really shows the pilot point of view... Keep going, I'm with you capitain!
Great to see you again. Also thanks for the full IFR landing. Doesn’t get much closer to minimums than that.
And that Approach would have definitely been harder without callouts of "ground in sight" and "runway in sight" by Mrs. Copilot.
Thank you for sharing this video with us all, I found it truly amazing and exciting as you flew through the cloud. A big thank you for allowing us access to your flight from a UK 🇬🇧 fan.
Man… what’s great approach. Love how your wife called you out to hand fly the approach! 🙌🏽
Cool as a cucumber! Nothing better than letting your passengers know you are confident in your procedures!!

Hand flying an approach in IMC is impressive. Giving a running commentary, fielding questions from your wife and making it look easy is VERY impressive. Superb job thoroughly enjoyed it.
A perfect example of why we fly instruments. Great job. Missed your videos. Welcome back.

Mad props (pun intended) for that cool, calm, collected landing. So smooth, the girls in the back never woke up through it lol!
Great job on the Rnav App and awesome landing on that low ceiling.

Awesome approach John. I think your co-pilot (wife) was praying to see the ground before she saw it.
Don't blame her.

Great to see you in the air again. Thanks for sharing and allowing us to ride along.
Thank you for sharing your flight. I appreciate the opportunity to learn from your experience. Please keep the videos coming.
Great seeing you again. Was missing your videos with your beautiful Malibu!
That was a sweet approach. Love the girls sleeping through it in the back. Got my heart going a bit watching online!
Achievement Unlocked: Sleeping Beauties (Land without waking up your pax.)
Great job to minimums on approach. Truly a professional pilot Kory!
Thanks Tim! Good to hear from you.
Nice to see you posting videos again, warts and all. That’s how everyone learns.
That was so cool flying along with you doing all that. What a great video.
impressive flying!
Wife: "You should hand fly it"
Husband thinks "what are you my flight instructor?"
Really a very bad idea Considering the conditions. Leave the AP on and monitor everything until the minimums are reached then turn off the AP.
@@tizwicky exactly. Airlines pretty much mandate autopilot use in these conditions. Dumb dumb dumb smh

Thanks, I am sure that complete that procedure as you did is so rewarding !! Nice channel.
I’m Working on the IFR rating. Very helpful video seeing real IFR. You made it look easy, while I know it’s anything but. Sincere thanks.
Nicely done! We are early in the stages of buying a Malibu as well and will be checking out your videos. 4DT looks beautifully updated. Subscribed!
Thank you Nate! Good luck with the search and don’t hesitate to reach out if I might be able to help.
Great job and quite a challenging weather. I am studying for my IR and hot to actually watch how an IAP is done. Thanks for sharing.
Really enjoyed this, love it that the girls fell asleep. We’re cool, mum and dad have got this covered Zzzzzz.
That's some big cajones! Hats off to you, Sir!
Great approach and decision making. I learn a lot from your videos...keep them coming!
