Great tip on descending by simply pulling back the throttle. You don’t have to re-trim, your airspeed and EGTs remain constant and when you approach your desired altitude you just creep that power back in. Minimal workload which is great for a single pilot. Thank you very much.
The Lance is a solid cross country plane. Perhaps forgotten at times but soon reminded of the quality of this machine. Thanks.
Thanks Baron for the ride - fun to hear you guys comparing notes !
Great to hear you mention your Grandfather. To have served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam means he’s an extremely unique man. God Bless Him!!! Awesome Conversation during this flight and video. Thanks. Phenomenal Video!!!
Thanks you two. Double thumbs up if I could. When I was in jr high my dad and his airplane owning partner bought a brand new Lance, after owning a Cessna 175 and 182. The Lance was the “Family Truckster”. Lots of room with good load flexibility. It was quieter than most singles with the prop way out front of the forward baggage compartment. And roomy - viewers should notice the space between you and Alex.
I was big enough when we had that plane that my dad would let me fly in the left seat. It was first plane I landed by myself when I was 14.
Ours apparently came from the same batch of Piper sequential tail numbers. Ours was N38352.
I own a T-tail Lance and the more I fly it the more I love it. Hauls a solid 850lb payload and @ 65% power setting it’s usually getting 150Kts while burning 16 GPH. This plane goes just fast enough, sips the gas, and hauls a load in club seating comfort. For me and my family, you can’t get any better for the price of acquisition and cost of maintenance! Love it more and more.
Great flight!! Thanks for sharing and congrats on the plane! I can't wait to see this plane in the future after some upgrades.
Wow!!! Shout Out to your GRANDFATHER!!! To be a WWII, Korea and Vietnam Veteran means that, he’s DEFINITELY experienced and seen some things in his life. I’m more than certain he’s an extremely awesome and unique man. God Bless Him!!! AWESOME VIDEO!!!
Great video!!! Love seeing you in other aircraft. It's nice being versatile in other planes. And of course, the tongue on landing! That's concentration!!! Thanks for taking us along and sharing!!!!
I own the same type of lance, almost identical. It’s great watching someone else enjoy the benefits of the lance.
I've flown "in" a Lance only once. I was quite impressed with it. Great airplane. Liked the way you guys worked together. Betcha that was a nice flight.
Awesome Vid ! Lots of good info. Thanks for getting that one out to us. I enjoy all your videos. Top Shelf stuff !
Great video! Love Pipers...did my PPL in a Warrior...working on my Multi-IFR in a Seneca 2...Love the room and payload.
That was really nice to see you in a different plane and the tips you taught him.
Great Flight..Thanks again!!
Interesting flight and conversation. Good to see youngsters into flying. I was bit by the flying bug at 6 years old when my dad had a gyrocopter, Feb 4 made 48 years I've been flying now.
Alex thank you for the ride along
Great video. Nice landing. Great way to spend an afternoon.
Nice flight thanks for sharing guys.
The pressure was on you that time Kris, having to land a strange plane. But Alex knew you could handle it, good work to Alex too. He sure has a promising future in aviation. The future pilots of the world, I tip my cap to all of you!!!
Thanks...yay Mr. Alex.
Great bird to fly Kris. My Dr has a Lance and I keep trying to get him to take me up. LOL
Enjoyed the trip, thanks for sharing.
Great video. Shout out to Grandpa Salute!
Wow , The Grumman Cougar is a sweet sweet little twin. Glad to hear their are still some out there flying.
That was an enjoyable video video it is fun to collaborate with other pilots I hope you do more of them.
Enjoyed the flight!
I agree. I had a 430w and 530w. Swapped them out for a 540 and 440. Never looked back.
Thanks Alex and Chris.
Very Cool
A year later I watch this video and I’m very interested in one myself. Very entertaining and informative video.
I love piper also, especially lance
That looks like a very wide and comfortable cabin.
Cool video!
Great to hear him mention the good old RAF Chipmunk, I managed to get a transfer when in the British Army to the army air corps, they only fly rotary but strangely you start the course getting about 30 hours in the Chipmunk, before you go on to rotary training in the Gazelle, if u don’t solo by 30 hours u get binned. It was a crazy old aircraft but fully aerobatic, they started with a cartridge charge n then smoke everywhere n ur good. The seats were just a metal bucket n your seat cushion was actually your parachute which you sat on, the chutes were very awkward n u couldn’t stand up straight with them on so u looked like a right dick. Luckily I passed & flew the Gazelle, then the Lynx. Great times.
good job man
My lower back & butt immediately started to spasm when he mentioned the Chipmunk.... great trainer, that was an unexpected trip..... Thanks man - awesome stuff & Alex seems to have his shit together in 1 sock - makes a change to see....!
I just put my 1980 Saratoga (turbo version) on the market. Pretty much the same airplane except for the turbocharger. I’ve owned it for 19 years and it’s been a wonderful airplane that I’ve had all over the Country. Edited to add: N8409Y was sold to a doctor from Virginia and taken from Long Beach to the East Coast. I'm wistful, so many good years and great trips in that airplane.
Your always good for a good laugh Christopher
I like the "Oh F***" when you were in the flare haha
This bought tears to my eyes as I used to own that plane. Based at Spruce Creek. Also had a 1977 Baron 58 Turbo
I liked my paint job better :)
I got sentimental too when I ran into my old Mooney. I was like seeing an old friend.
I bought my share in 38674 from Alex t two years ago. After flying a Cherokee Six for 32 years. This IS a sweet airplane. I am partial to PA32s anyway.
Nice Video. Thx
Thanks
You look more comfortable than most GA pilots flying from the right seat!
Wow... That "N" Number is 3 away from the Beechcraft (BE-77) Skipper that I soloed in N38671 back in 1981!
Got my commercial in a lance! Nice airplanes
Thanks Chris & Alex for letting us ride along on that flight! We enjoyed it. Chris can you explain that 500 ft cruise decent again as it relates to doing it with retarding the throttle? I have a Cherokee 180 I fly and I would be interested on how that works again if you can instead of pulling throttle back & adjusting attitude & trim. Thanks. Don/NE Ohio
I'll chime in for now, a low wing plane when you set your trim, it maintains that speed so when you reduce power or add power, and the standard rule of thumb is 5" reduction in MP, or 500 rpm with a fixed prop equals 500 fpm. A low wing will always seek its trimmed airspeed. In a high wing the speed changes several knots and requires re-trim if you want to maintain that airspeed. For example in my 172, when I'm in the pattern at 80. I reduce power 500 rpm and trim down 3 strokes of the trim wheel to maintain 80 on descent.
Go for the airlines “Young man”, once your in the major airlines you can fly what you want on your days off. Just because your FI worked for Republic airlines, enough said. Don’t count out the airlines you’ll be SORRY later in life. It’s the best job in the long run. I know. 35 years at the majors, 5 years Corporate, 1 year in the regionals and 4 years night freight. 44 years of flying for a living and the last 35 years the best. Stayed active in GA the whole time(s). Don’t limit yourself! I mentor the new pilots all the time. Go for the gold my friend.
Wasn't the squawk code 0421 and he read 0241. They did not correct him. Hopefully he put the right code. Nice video!
Yeah, I'm surprised none of them caught it...
Can you share details about converting the forward facing seats to club in the early lances? Would love to do that with mine.
Sehr schöner Flug.......
Genau!
Nice flight. Alex seems like a really nice and smart guy. I couldn't really see the instrument panel close enough but once I thought I saw pressure controls. Is that plane pressurized? Nice pland though.
Bill Nicholson lances aren’t pressurized
Donizete Braganca Paulista SP 🇧🇷
The l/g creates the most drag. Looked like you pulled flaps up first but should have brought the gear up first.
Hey, what's that strange thing spinning on the nose of your Baron, Kris?? 😂🤣😂
That Lance is pretty sweet. Nice to meet Alex there - was a great flight! 👍🍻
Did that new injector keep the temp down this time compared to running the old one? The mechanic in me is just curious. :)
0847. Unusual attitude recovery
Nice plane. However, I prefer it if, after all, the aircraft has two engines: it is more reliable in terms of flight safety. Thank you for the video. Good luck!
How did the Lancer compare to your Baron? Not sure I would feel as comfortable without the second engine flying over water, but other than that...
Back-in-the-day, during my flight training my instructor ALWAYS trained his student pilots in a high-wings....period! When asked why he preferred high-wings, he answered, "Aerodynamically since the dinosaurs , who ever heard of a bird with wings mounted on its belly?"
When you show me a dinosaur that was able to break the speed of sound then maybe I will say his argument has some valid points. 😂
@@BaronPilot -- VERY good point!
maybe I missed it, does Alex own the plane or is it part of the partnership ??
Question re the reduction of 5” MP on the decent, is shock cooling not an issue/concern ??
Not at all.
Is the PA-32R wing spar/spar attach fittings under the same scrutiny that the PA-28 series is under?
Idk but would assume so.
Yes. 5000 factored hours. Need to have a boatload of hours with a lot of 100 hours inspections as a pure trainer or commercial operating.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A FLIGHT IN A COMANCHE 260 BUT I LOVE THE LANCE
I've had my Comanche 260B for thirteen years. She fits and feels like a glove - wonderful airplane!
When you’re going to be back at Orlando Executive
Can you tell me about flight schoiols in StAug?
Is jepperson supported by android and the. System you use are they Android friendly
At 17:48 noticed the gear overide light flashed why?
Is this a turbo lance?
are you still restricted to regular sunglasses you can not use polarised right?
Correct. Polarized glasses can prevent you from seeing glass displays.
thanks
Di my PPL at KSGJ as well easy n good airport
Luv seeing more "steam" gauges, than glass. GPS is nice, and OK, but , as a senior, I prefer to see the gauges. Getting to like the Pipers, I only flew high wings.
7:51 ATC, pilot, and co-pilot didn't catch the wrong read back?
He said it wrong but entered it correctly. You may have noticed earlier he said what the first 2 digits would be.
Come on really the Avidyne comment I know it's involuntary but. hahahaha
What was the comment at 20:40? :0)
Well Baron Pilot I heard you say "not the prettiest" after landing. But you should know better than me: Landings are suppose to be safe, not pretty.
The other day I tried to land a Seminole in 15Knots direct XWind, had to go around two times...I|m sure that didn|t look pretty either...but it was safe.
That’s a great sign of your ADM to know you needed to go around. 👍🏼
👋🏻KSRQ☀️🌴🇺🇸🛩
I AM A LOW WING PILOT FLU ALL OVER THE
NORTHEAST IN A CHEROKEE 140
I guess there are aircraft out there that still use fuel nozzles or carbs. I would think most aircraft since the 70’s use electronic fuel injection. Is this a poor assumption. Not attempting to be snarky. It’s a serious question.
It’s a mix of carburetors and fuel injection. Just depends on the aircraft.
He’s kidding himself. Airline is where it’s at, especially a major or legacy. Corporate sucks, especially when an owner sells or wants to fly every holiday. He’ll have so many days off and so much money to go and do what he wants on his days off at a real airline. Republic isn’t it.
one basic plane
Where’s Kim?. Not as much fun just watching you and Alex.
Umm...no hot chick, this video gets a thumbs down...JK
More corporate vs airline misinformation.
Exactly. Kid had no clue
Your "pilot" voice when you talked to ground was hilarious.
You need to abandon that one bud
You must poop diamonds.
NWBackcountry -z doesn’t poop at all
