Bonjour Louis, désolé pour le temps de réponse ... je suis un peu plus réactif d'habitude. Merci beaucoup pour ton commentaire. Effectivement, le Meridian est un avion fantastique et permet de monter à des altitudes intéressantes. Bonne journée :-)
Wow, this is definitely one of my favourite flight videos. I hope that one day, I can fly a Meridian. I have got my PPL but have only ever flown a 172. I have my first flight in a Piper on Monday and although it's only a PA28, I'm looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing.

Hi James West, Many thanks for your comment. I always need a long time to create and publish a video and it is very pleasant to receive such positive comments. Congratulations for your PPL and I wish you many flight hours. I obtained my PPL in May, 2006 and I try to fly as often as possible. I have just reached 900 hours (with approximately 150 in IFR). The PA28 is a great plane and I also enjoy flying on this aircraft. My club recently bought an IFR Archer 3. American planes are excellent machines. :-)

Hi Stephen, thanks for your comment. I totally agree with you … but have you already make some videos in a cockpit on your own? You will find below explanations : First of all, sometimes you just can not record the ATC/Cockpit audio … and sometimes the sound is not god enough to publish it. Then, If a video is too long on UA-cam, the weight in high definition becomes very important (more than 5 go), so that it is very difficult to upload it. You also need to know when you want to publish a video that the Internet users do not watch the entire video when it is too long (You can see that in the analytics provided by UA-cam). It is the reason why we usually use an accelerated speed. Then, if you use the speeded-up speed you HAVE to cut the sound of the video (Because the sound of a sequence which was accelerated becomes totally unusable)... and in order to avoid publishing a movie without any sound it is better to add a music. I feel really sorry. Here is some videos with the plane’s sound: ua-cam.com/video/5oTz9gvB7Ds/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/r6_-3jocu_Q/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/l_5iS3hIhkM/v-deo.html

Bonjour Maxime, merci pour ton commentaire. Cette machine est tout simplement incroyable. Profite bien de ta formation PPL. Ce sont des moments parfois difficiles mais toujours magiques. Ne baisse pas les bras ... :-)
please loose the music. I am a pilot.. Let me hear the aircraft and radio sounds..
3 роки тому
I only see your comment now. This is so recurring as a pilot's remark! You are pilots, but as soon as you edit videos ... you will realize that there is a lot of reason to sometimes delete the sound and replace it with music. For instance, some exchanges must be kept private. Another reason: as soon as the sequence is accelerated in order to prevent the video from being too long ... the sound is no longer usable and it must be replaced by something.
Martin Grosso I have published 2 other videos with the Meridian : ✈ Piper Meridian Cloud Surfing [GoPro HD] ✈ ILS and MVL procedures with a Piper Meridian And you can see all my videos on my channel : ua-cam.com/users/SutterFrancoisvideos
Two questions. Your first landing (the ILS), there was no CDI visible on the HSI until quite late. It seemed like the right-seat pilot might have turned it on. How were you intercepting the localizer? Second, the first landing was made with only one notch of flaps. Was this necessary due to crosswinds?
Ditch the music because your hardcore aviation enthusiast want to hear that beautiful turbine and communications.

Hey Francois! good day! Why don't you cut the power on the flare?:D you can miss the touch down markings zone!
2 роки тому
Hello and many thanks for your comment. During landings at night I usually don’t idle the power lever. I have always been told not to land at night with no power. But, once the plane is down on the runway, I put the power lever on the idle position and use the beta position to reduce the speed. Performing the flare at night is a little bit tricky. In my opinion you need a little bit of speed to maintain an appropriate vertical speed wich should be between 200 to 100 ft per minute during the flare. So it is the reason why we don’t do it with idle.
@ thanks for the response. I don’t blame you , just curious :) Trim more and cut it in one smooth movement. It will land faster. I fly m600 and it’s much harder with flare ,But on m500 which i also tried it’s not so critical to land with 75 pounds of torque)
Great video. I Will share it with a friend of mine. He has cpl. I liked The way the video was edited with fast forwarding. I was with you the whole trip. Have you ever taken the plane to Norway?

Alexander Hauge Hi, it is not very easy to make good videos and each time the movie is too long (when it last more than 4 minutes) the users usually dont watch the entire of it ...In this video, which is one of my favorite, the average time of watch is 4 minutes ... (147.379 minutes watched for 35.791 views) ...I have never flown to Norway but I hope I will one day. At this very time, my own aim is to land on every airfield in France ... It will take years but this is my personnal goal (flying is not my every day job).Best regards & Fly safe
C'est clairement une des plus belles vidéos de ce genre que j'ai pu voir. Les 9 minutes passent en un clin d'œil. J'ai cependant une question à propos de l'éclairage du tableau de bord de nuit. C'est n'est pas dérangeant? Surtout en finale?
8 років тому
Bonjour et merci pour votre commentaire.L'éclairage d'un G1000 est prévu pour être en mode auto par défaut. Dans ce mode, l'intensité de l'éclairage s'adapte automatiquement en fonction de la luminosité détectée.Par contre, en cliquant sur le bouton menu vous pouvez passer en mode manuel et modifier vous-même l'intensité de l'éclairage. L'option vous permet d'aller de 0% à 100%.
Beautiful video! Could you tell me why you preformed a go around?
10 років тому+5
Hello, and thank you for your comment. Good question … I still have in mind what occurred in this very night ! For a head wind, I was supposed to land on runway 23. But, the strength of the wind given by the ATC was very light (less than 5 kts). Even if the weather was nice, as you can see on the video, it was a night approach under IFR. On this field (LFPT), the IFR approach on runway 23 requires to perform a VOR procedure which is less precise than an ILS approach … and in this particular case the VOR track is not completely in the axis of the runway centerline (nearly 10 degrees), which complicates a little the night landing. Because of the very light wind which was given to me, I thus preferred to perform an ILS approach on runway 05, which allows to descent lower (ILS minimum are 474 ft against 1050 ft for the VOR approach). It is the reason why, at the beginning, I thought I could easily land on runway 05, but in fact the real wind undergone was finally too strong. Just before the flare and the touchdown, I was still to fast (and already reaching half of the Landing Distance Available), so that I changed my mind and finally decided to go around and land on runway 23 ... to be able to face a head wind for best security conditions…
Thank you for your comment! I don't understand fully understand about the VOR and all that stuff (not your fault), but i do understand why you performed a Go Around!
10 років тому+3
Hi Tobberd. Because of your question, I thought you were a pilot... Radio-navigation aids must provide a certain accuracy and you need to fly with a properly equipped aircraft. You have more precision with an ILS (lateral and vertical signals) than with a VOR (lateral signal). The VOR and the ILS are both instruments which allow a plane to land without any visibility outside. With a VOR a single needle on a dial indicates you the axis of your plane compared with the runway track. If the needle is in the center of the instrument, then your plane is correctly aligned on the runway track, if the needle is moving to the right or to the left, you just have to follow it in order to make it come back in the axis of the runway track. With an ILS you have two needles which provides both lateral and a vertical signals. When you perform an ILS approach, without any visibility, the instrument indicates if you are correctly aligned in the runway centerline (or not) and also if your vertical path is good (you need to be at the right altitude at the right time : not too above ... because you will land too long, not too below ... because you will probably hit the ground before the runway). You can have a look on wikipedia.org to get more informations.
that was great fun. What do you call the left-hand flight display which shows both the horizon and also it seems some geographical information and the runway?

Hi Briggsmusic and thanks for your comment. We call it the "PFD" : Primary Flight Display.

Hello François. I was wondering if it's needed a type rating to fly the PA 46 Thank you!
10 років тому
Hi Cloud Dancer, according to me, If you fly with FAA licenses you will need 3 endorsements : complex aircraft, high performance aircraft and high altitude which can be delivered by an approved instructor.
I'm a Spanish pilot, with a JAA license. But thanks anyway. Nice video. Keep uploading and fly safe ;)
10 років тому
Cloud Dancer Ok, I fly with both JAA/FAA licenses. With JAA, I guess you will need a turbine transition and a type rating. In the JAA regulation, there is a difference between the SEP (Single Engine Piston) and the SET (Single Engine Turbine). In the FAA regulation, there is no difference. You are simply SEL (Single Engine Land) or MEL (Multi Engine Land). Many thanks and happy flights :-)
***** Of course you got a JAA, you are flying at Europe haha. I don't know what i was thinking. I think there's no need of a turbine transition to fly the Matrix Isn't?
10 років тому
Cloud Dancer I think you are right. For the Matrix, as it is a single engine piston, you shall not need a turbine transition. But, you might need the complex aircraft, the high performance and the high altitude endorsements (www.piper.com/aircraft/m-class/matrix/specs-performance/). I have seen that the maximum approved altitude is FL 250 ...
nice video man wants the name of this song its soooooo nice please

is that plane loaded with anti-ice equipment? because i see ice on the windows.
10 років тому+1
Hello Aran. This plane is FIKI (Flight into Known Icing). The propeller, the wings, the vertical and horizontal stabilizer are all de-iced. The cockpit window is also de-iced but only on a small surface, this is the reason why you can see some ice.
She's a beautiful bird! Is the cabin pressurised? :-) enjoyed the video

Hi Clarky Av, thanks for your comment and enjoying this video. Totally agree with you, this plane is amazing and provides lot of pleasure. Yes, the cabin is pressurised. You can fly at FL290 with a 8000 ft pressure. Best regards and fly safe :-)
Hi Jan et many thanks for your comment. This was a turbine transition flight so we had to perform a couple of exercices during the flight (including go around, emergency descent, missed approach and electric flaps failure).
why music in airplane videos is always the same bad?
10 років тому
Hi txeriff2k6, Thanks for your comment. I am not sure to really understand … If you want to know why I usually use music, you will find below some explanations : First of all, sometimes you just can not record the ATC/Cockpit audio … and sometimes the sound is not god enough to publish it. Then, If a video is too long on UA-cam, the weight in high definition becomes very important (more than 5 go), so that it is very difficult to upload it. You also need to know when you want to publish a video that the Internet users do not watch the entire video when it is too long (You can see that in the analytics provided by UA-cam). It is the reason why we usually use an accelerated speed. Then, if you use the speeded-up speed you HAVE to cut the sound of the video (Because the sound of a sequence which was accelerated becomes totally unusable)... and in order to avoid publishing a movie without any sound it is better to add a music.
Why, Why, Why do people feel a need to overlay these flight videos with ridiculous music? It ruins the experience. We would like to hear the plane's engine and the cockpit dialog instead of some insipid pop artist wailing. Please cease and desist!

Hi Jeff, thanks for your comment. I totally agree with you … but have you already make some videos in a cockpit on your own ?

I feel really sorry. Here is some videos with the plane’s sound : ✈ Aerobatic Training Lesson in R2160 ✈ IFR and ILS training at Pontoise with a Piper Archer III ✈ IFR and IMC flying with a Piper PA 28 Archer III
Because only very few people (pilots and aviation fanatics) really want to sit through a long video with talking they barely understand. In terms of appealing to a wider audience, increasing fan base and view count, it's better to make a video that will hold the attention of the majority, which usually involves music. At least for now - it'll likely evolve into something else in the future.
Music is cool, but not ALL the time. Would be better if you had music most of the time and only on some points of the flight (line up, takeoff roll and positive rate) you would have no music but cockpit sounds and ATC. after gear up you can put fast forward and music at your own discretion. Also on final you should have cut the music, or at least dim it to the background, no touchdown sound = no flight was made.
Hi Leo, IMC is a flight category. It means : Instrument Meteorological Conditions. In a nutshell, when you fly in IMC you are in a bad weather conditions (rain, mist, fog, clouds, …) so that you can not see outside and you need to rely primarily to your instruments. There is a specific endorsement for pilots called "Instrument Rating" which is one of the hardest license to get. You will see a perfect explanation on Wikipedia : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_meteorological_conditions
Are you forced to follow the EBAW SID ? You know it's shitting so I think you can take-off with VFR conditions, then you don't follow the SID and you switch to IFR (IMC) conditions :)
+Bourdier Nicolas So I vient de voir that you are français, it's con I écris my last message in english...
9 років тому+1
+Bourdier Nicolas Bonjour et merci pour ton commentaire. Effectivement, je suis french :-) Pour répondre à ta question : pour un vol local, je le fais souvent : je décolle en VFR sans plan de vol et ensuite je passe en IFR pour faire des entrainements et enchaîner des procédures (ILS/VOR ...) avec le contrôle qui me donne des radar vector. Il m'arrive aussi de le faire en navigation. Exemple, je décolle des mureaux (LFXU) en VFR, je vais à Rouen (LFOP) en VFR et à l'entrée de la zone, lorsque je contacte l'approche je demande une clairance IFR. C'est possible pour des petits vols avec des avions qui volent bas. C'est plus pratique que de déposer un plan de vol qui va m'obliger pour aller de Pontoise ou Les Mureaux vers Rouen à passer par Evreux (c'est un sacré détour). En plus il faut monter au niveau 60, pour quelques minutes de croisière et re descendre ensuite ... Mais bon c'est fun aussi ! Là, pour ce vol, ce type d'avion (Meridian) consomme beaucoup dans les basses couches, donc tu as intérêt à monter le plus haut possible. J'avais demandé le niveau 250 (avec un plan de vol IFR accepté) et finalement il ne m'ont autorisé que le 190 ... ce qui est déjà pas mal et qui te permet d'économiser du carburant ... car la turbine consomme beaucoup. Dans le cas présent, on avait une frontière à franchir, donc de toute façon il fallait un plan de vol. Avec ce type de vol et ce type d'avion, autant déposer un plan de vol IFR ... les contraintes des SID sont moins lourdes que le VFR et finalement, tu es assez vite redirigé vers ta destination dès que tu as pris de l'altitude et que tu ne gènes plus personne. A 19.000 ft, tu n'es plus conflictuel avec les SEP, plus conflictuel avec les liners ... donc très vite on te donne une route directe.
+François SUTTER Bonjour Merci beaucoup pour cette formidable réponse ! Etant seulement pilote "virtuel", tes infos sont très intéressant ! Si à cause de mauvaises conditions météo, tu es obligé de voler en IMC donc en IFR et que tu veux faire un petit saut de puce genre Nice-Cannes (oui c'est court ! ), suivre les SIDs et les STARs, ça doit sûrement devenir très souvent un casse-tête !
9 років тому+1
+Bourdier Nicolas Bonjour, merci. En fait il n'y a pas tellement de différence entre les pilotes virtuels d'aujourd'hui et les pilotes réels. La simulation est devenu aussi réaliste et exigeante que des conditions réelles (avec les logiciels et IVAO par exemple). Il n'est pas rare que des pilotes virtuels en sachent autant (voir plus) que beaucoup de pilotes. Les seules vraies différences résident dans le stress qu'on peu avoir en vol (qui réduit la capacité de réflexion) ... et le prix ... Pour répondre à ta question, plus la distance à parcourir en IFR est courte et plus le vol est complexe et chronophage. Un Toussus (LFPN) -> Pontoise (LFPT) par exemple est hyper chargé en termes d'actions à faire (surtout en mono pilote). En IFR, on utilise parfois des procédures adaptées appelées POGO (fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogo) pour des vols très courts ce qui évite d'avoir à trop monter et aller utiliser des airways pour re descendre tout de suite. Donc il existe des solutions IFR palliatives pour les vols très courts.
+François SUTTER Effectivement on peut atteindre un niveau de réalisme très haut en simulation ! Mais ça ne remplacera jamais les sensations de pilotage et certains comportements en vol...à ce que les pilote disent FS n'est pas vraiment conforme à la réalité sur ce point (sensibilité yoke, etc.). Je connaissais également les POGO mais malheureusement pas toujours disponibles partout ! Merci encore pour ces infos ;)
great video but couldve done without the soundtrack. This isnt Top Gun
2 роки тому
Thanks. I agree but sometimes when you have to speed up the frame during the montage the sound needs to be replaced or erased. In this case, when the speed is increased, a common practice is to change the soundtrack with music.
Amazing video ***** I really like the PA46 it has a beautiful sporty shape! What a great sunsett too! Though I'm not a big fan of LCDs in GA cockpit (I rather see needles moving, but that's personal jaja), I really like your MFD and the virtual world it shows! I guess I'll change my mind once I fly a glass cockpit for first time. So far I'll have to stick to the good old 150, and leave the PA46 for FSX flying ;) Btw, you are invited to check out my channel. Regards from Argentina

Hi Mauricio, Many thanks for your comment. This is definitely one of my favorite video and one of my best flight at this very time. It is great to be viewed from Argentina !

please loose the music. I am a pilot.. Let me hear the aircraft and radio sounds..
I only see your comment now. This is so recurring as a pilot's remark!
You are pilots, but as soon as you edit videos ... you will realize that there is a lot of reason to sometimes delete the sound and replace it with music.
For instance, some exchanges must be kept private. Another reason: as soon as the sequence is accelerated in order to prevent the video from being too long ... the sound is no longer usable and it must be replaced by something.
Nice Video
Hi LafreniereJ,
Thanks for your comment.
:-)
great video thanks
+robert madden Hi Robert and many thanks for your comment.
Have a nice day :-)
great video!!
Hi, many thanks for your comment and congratulations for your great channel : ua-cam.com/users/icanga
Thanks ;)
Dommage que l'on n'est pas les conversations à l'intérieur de l'avion . Superbe pareil ce vol !!!
Bonjour René et merci pour le commentaire.
Je n'enregistre pas toujours les conversations ... qui parfois doivent rester privées :-)
nice video!
Thanks
Amazing plane, when you came to Tenerife call and fly with you.
Pedro Santana Hi, many thanks for your comment. I hope to fly in Tenerife, it must be very nice :-)
That's sure
What a pleasure it would be
Brent Parrish Hi Brent and many thanks for your comment. I totally agree :-)
This plane is a pleasure.
AWESOME!!
Thanks Martin for your comment and enjoying this video.
:-)
do you have more videos like this?
Martin Grosso I have published 2 other videos with the Meridian :
✈ Piper Meridian Cloud Surfing [GoPro HD]
✈ ILS and MVL procedures with a Piper Meridian
And you can see all my videos on my channel :
ua-cam.com/users/SutterFrancoisvideos
Two questions. Your first landing (the ILS), there was no CDI visible on the HSI until quite late. It seemed like the right-seat pilot might have turned it on. How were you intercepting the localizer? Second, the first landing was made with only one notch of flaps. Was this necessary due to crosswinds?
Ditch the music because your hardcore aviation enthusiast want to hear that beautiful turbine and communications.
+kboy6646 Hi and many thanks for your comment. First of all, I totally agree with you … and I also want to hear beautiful turbine and communications sounds ... but have you already make some videos in a cockpit on your own ?
Sometimes you just can not record the ATC/Cockpit audio … and sometimes the sound is not god enough to publish it.
Then, If a video is too long on UA-cam, the weight in high definition becomes very important (more than 5 go), so that it is very difficult to upload it.
You also need to know when you want to publish a video that the Internet users don't watch the entire video when it is too long (You can see that in the analytics provided by UA-cam).
It is the reason why we usually use an accelerated speed. Then, if you use the speeded-up speed you HAVE to cut the sound of the video (Because the sound of a sequence which was accelerated becomes totally unusable)... and in order to avoid publishing a movie without any sound it is better to add a music.
Have a great day :-)
Hey Francois! good day! Why don't you cut the power on the flare?:D you can miss the touch down markings zone!
Hello and many thanks for your comment. During landings at night I usually don’t idle the power lever.
I have always been told not to land at night with no power. But, once the plane is down on the runway, I put the power lever on the idle position and use the beta position to reduce the speed.
Performing the flare at night is a little bit tricky. In my opinion you need a little bit of speed to maintain an appropriate vertical speed wich should be between 200 to 100 ft per minute during the flare. So it is the reason why we don’t do it with idle.
@ thanks for the response. I don’t blame you , just curious :) Trim more and cut it in one smooth movement. It will land faster. I fly m600 and it’s much harder with flare ,But on m500 which i also tried it’s not so critical to land with 75 pounds of torque)
Amazing :)
Hi Alexander an many thanks for your comment ... yes ... in a nutshell : this plane is amazing :-)
Great video. I Will share it with a friend of mine. He has cpl. I liked The way the video was edited with fast forwarding. I was with you the whole trip. Have you ever taken the plane to Norway?
Alexander Hauge Hi, it is not very easy to make good videos and each time the movie is too long (when it last more than 4 minutes) the users usually dont watch the entire of it ...In this video, which is one of my favorite, the average time of watch is 4 minutes ... (147.379 minutes watched for 35.791 views) ...I have never flown to Norway but I hope I will one day. At this very time, my own aim is to land on every airfield in France ... It will take years but this is my personnal goal (flying is not my every day job).Best regards & Fly safe
C'est clairement une des plus belles vidéos de ce genre que j'ai pu voir. Les 9 minutes passent en un clin d'œil.
J'ai cependant une question à propos de l'éclairage du tableau de bord de nuit. C'est n'est pas dérangeant? Surtout en finale?
Bonjour et merci pour votre commentaire.L'éclairage d'un G1000 est prévu pour être en mode auto par défaut. Dans ce mode, l'intensité de l'éclairage s'adapte automatiquement en fonction de la luminosité détectée.Par contre, en cliquant sur le bouton menu vous pouvez passer en mode manuel et modifier vous-même l'intensité de l'éclairage. L'option vous permet d'aller de 0% à 100%.
Beautiful video! Could you tell me why you preformed a go around?
Hello, and thank you for your comment.
Good question …
I still have in mind what occurred in this very night !
For a head wind, I was supposed to land on runway 23.
But, the strength of the wind given by the ATC was very light (less than 5 kts).
Even if the weather was nice, as you can see on the video, it was a night approach under IFR.
On this field (LFPT), the IFR approach on runway 23 requires to perform a VOR procedure which is less precise than an ILS approach … and in this particular case the VOR track is not completely in the axis of the runway centerline (nearly 10 degrees), which complicates a little the night landing.
Because of the very light wind which was given to me, I thus preferred to perform an ILS approach on runway 05, which allows to descent lower (ILS minimum are 474 ft against 1050 ft for the VOR approach).
It is the reason why, at the beginning, I thought I could easily land on runway 05, but in fact the real wind undergone was finally too strong.
Just before the flare and the touchdown, I was still to fast (and already reaching half of the Landing Distance Available), so that I changed my mind and finally decided to go around and land on runway 23 ... to be able to face a head wind for best security conditions…
Thank you for your comment! I don't understand fully understand about the VOR and all that stuff (not your fault), but i do understand why you performed a Go Around!
Hi Tobberd.
Because of your question, I thought you were a pilot...
Radio-navigation aids must provide a certain accuracy and you need to fly with a properly equipped aircraft.
You have more precision with an ILS (lateral and vertical signals) than with a VOR (lateral signal).
The VOR and the ILS are both instruments which allow a plane to land without any visibility outside.
With a VOR a single needle on a dial indicates you the axis of your plane compared with the runway track. If the needle is in the center of the instrument, then your plane is correctly aligned on the runway track, if the needle is moving to the right or to the left, you just have to follow it in order to make it come back in the axis of the runway track.
With an ILS you have two needles which provides both lateral and a vertical signals. When you perform an ILS approach, without any visibility, the instrument indicates if you are correctly aligned in the runway centerline (or not) and also if your vertical path is good (you need to be at the right altitude at the right time : not too above ... because you will land too long, not too below ... because you will probably hit the ground before the runway).
You can have a look on wikipedia.org to get more informations.
***** Haha thanks! I am just a little 12 year old from The Netherlands and i was a little curious...
Tobberd :-) No problem, it was an excellent question which deserved an answer with explanations !
that was great fun. What do you call the left-hand flight display which shows both the horizon and also it seems some geographical information and the runway?
Hi Briggsmusic and thanks for your comment.
We call it the "PFD" : Primary Flight Display.
Why did you set pressurization knob on ascend before reach fl190?
Great plane. Who was the girl singing the first song? It was perfect for the video. :)
+Thomas Horton Many thanks for your comment. The musics tracks are in the description. It was Wings - Birdy :-)
Music track 1 : Wings - Birdy
Music track 2 : Sail - AWOLNATION - Megalithic Symphony
Music track 3 : Everyday - Carly Comando - One Take
Great video!! Is that a Breitling watch you have? Very nice.
Hi and many thanks for your comment.
Yes, it is a Breitling (Airwolf model).
Hello François. I was wondering if it's needed a type rating to fly the PA 46
Thank you!
Hi Cloud Dancer, according to me, If you fly with FAA licenses you will need 3 endorsements : complex aircraft, high performance aircraft and high altitude which can be delivered by an approved instructor.
I'm a Spanish pilot, with a JAA license. But thanks anyway.
Nice video. Keep uploading and fly safe ;)
Cloud Dancer Ok,
I fly with both JAA/FAA licenses.
With JAA, I guess you will need a turbine transition and a type rating.
In the JAA regulation, there is a difference between the SEP (Single Engine Piston) and the SET (Single Engine Turbine). In the FAA regulation, there is no difference. You are simply SEL (Single Engine Land) or MEL (Multi Engine Land).
Many thanks and happy flights :-)
***** Of course you got a JAA, you are flying at Europe haha. I don't know what i was thinking.
I think there's no need of a turbine transition to fly the Matrix Isn't?
Cloud Dancer I think you are right. For the Matrix, as it is a single engine piston, you shall not need a turbine transition.
But, you might need the complex aircraft, the high performance and the high altitude endorsements (www.piper.com/aircraft/m-class/matrix/specs-performance/). I have seen that the maximum approved altitude is FL 250 ...
nice video man wants the name of this song its soooooo nice please
The name of the song is in the description of the video.
Music track 1 : Wings - Birdy
Music track 2 : Sail - AWOLNATION - Megalithic Symphony
Music track 3 : Everyday - Carly Comando - One Take
is that plane loaded with anti-ice equipment? because i see ice on the windows.
Hello Aran. This plane is FIKI (Flight into Known Icing). The propeller, the wings, the vertical and horizontal stabilizer are all de-iced. The cockpit window is also de-iced but only on a small surface, this is the reason why you can see some ice.
She's a beautiful bird! Is the cabin pressurised? :-) enjoyed the video
Hi Clarky Av, thanks for your comment and enjoying this video.
Totally agree with you, this plane is amazing and provides lot of pleasure.
Yes, the cabin is pressurised. You can fly at FL290 with a 8000 ft pressure.
Best regards and fly safe :-)
If you would mount the camera right and we could hear the radio, it would be much more interesting
Hi Radek, yes, you're right. I try to record the radio as often as I can.
Why no flaps?
Hi Jan et many thanks for your comment.
This was a turbine transition flight so we had to perform a couple of exercices during the flight (including go around, emergency descent, missed approach and electric flaps failure).
François SUTTER what a sweet plane. I am very envious. Been looking for a partner to co own a meridian... Still dreaming.
why music in airplane videos is always the same bad?
Hi txeriff2k6,
Thanks for your comment. I am not sure to really understand …
If you want to know why I usually use music, you will find below some explanations :
First of all, sometimes you just can not record the ATC/Cockpit audio … and sometimes the sound is not god enough to publish it.
Then, If a video is too long on UA-cam, the weight in high definition becomes very important (more than 5 go), so that it is very difficult to upload it.

I was kidding. I mean in private pilot videos seems like everyone uses same kind of music and it makes it boring. That´s all
txeriff2k6 Ok, I understand :-)
It is very difficult to find the right music …
I like this one : ✈ IFR with hard IMC conditions
Ahh music,that was me done!!!
+wayne elliott ?? I am not sure to understand your comment ?
Why, Why, Why do people feel a need to overlay these flight videos with ridiculous music? It ruins the experience. We would like to hear the plane's engine and the cockpit dialog instead of some insipid pop artist wailing. Please cease and desist!
Hi Jeff, thanks for your comment.
I totally agree with you … but have you already make some videos in a cockpit on your own ?

I feel really sorry.
Here is some videos with the plane’s sound :
✈ Aerobatic Training Lesson in R2160
✈ IFR and ILS training at Pontoise with a Piper Archer III
✈ IFR and IMC flying with a Piper PA 28 Archer III
Because only very few people (pilots and aviation fanatics) really want to sit through a long video with talking they barely understand. In terms of appealing to a wider audience, increasing fan base and view count, it's better to make a video that will hold the attention of the majority, which usually involves music. At least for now - it'll likely evolve into something else in the future.
even French doesn't sound so nice at ten times normal speed..
Hi Jeff, you should enjoy this one : ✈ Shooting autopilot ILS to minimums [GoPro HD]
No music : only the sound of the engine and the ATC :-)
Music is cool, but not ALL the time.
Would be better if you had music most of the time and only on some points of the flight (line up, takeoff roll and positive rate) you would have no music but cockpit sounds and ATC. after gear up you can put fast forward and music at your own discretion. Also on final you should have cut the music, or at least dim it to the background, no touchdown sound = no flight was made.
What does imc stand for?
Hi Leo,
IMC is a flight category. It means : Instrument Meteorological Conditions.
In a nutshell, when you fly in IMC you are in a bad weather conditions (rain, mist, fog, clouds, …) so that you can not see outside and you need to rely primarily to your instruments.
There is a specific endorsement for pilots called "Instrument Rating" which is one of the hardest license to get.
You will see a perfect explanation on Wikipedia : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrument_meteorological_conditions
Did you eat frogs in this flight?
+Mike Thomson Thanks for this strange comment ?
No ... even if I am French ... I don't eat frogs :-)
I'm glad that you have a sense of HUMOR!) Blue Skies!
Are you forced to follow the EBAW SID ? You know it's shitting so I think you can take-off with VFR conditions, then you don't follow the SID and you switch to IFR (IMC) conditions :)
+Bourdier Nicolas So I vient de voir that you are français, it's con I écris my last message in english...
+Bourdier Nicolas Bonjour et merci pour ton commentaire. Effectivement, je suis french :-)
Pour répondre à ta question : pour un vol local, je le fais souvent : je décolle en VFR sans plan de vol et ensuite je passe en IFR pour faire des entrainements et enchaîner des procédures (ILS/VOR ...) avec le contrôle qui me donne des radar vector. Il m'arrive aussi de le faire en navigation. Exemple, je décolle des mureaux (LFXU) en VFR, je vais à Rouen (LFOP) en VFR et à l'entrée de la zone, lorsque je contacte l'approche je demande une clairance IFR.
C'est possible pour des petits vols avec des avions qui volent bas. C'est plus pratique que de déposer un plan de vol qui va m'obliger pour aller de Pontoise ou Les Mureaux vers Rouen à passer par Evreux (c'est un sacré détour). En plus il faut monter au niveau 60, pour quelques minutes de croisière et re descendre ensuite ... Mais bon c'est fun aussi !
Là, pour ce vol, ce type d'avion (Meridian) consomme beaucoup dans les basses couches, donc tu as intérêt à monter le plus haut possible. J'avais demandé le niveau 250 (avec un plan de vol IFR accepté) et finalement il ne m'ont autorisé que le 190 ... ce qui est déjà pas mal et qui te permet d'économiser du carburant ... car la turbine consomme beaucoup.
Dans le cas présent, on avait une frontière à franchir, donc de toute façon il fallait un plan de vol. Avec ce type de vol et ce type d'avion, autant déposer un plan de vol IFR ... les contraintes des SID sont moins lourdes que le VFR et finalement, tu es assez vite redirigé vers ta destination dès que tu as pris de l'altitude et que tu ne gènes plus personne. A 19.000 ft, tu n'es plus conflictuel avec les SEP, plus conflictuel avec les liners ... donc très vite on te donne une route directe.
+François SUTTER Bonjour
Merci beaucoup pour cette formidable réponse ! Etant seulement pilote "virtuel", tes infos sont très intéressant ! Si à cause de mauvaises conditions météo, tu es obligé de voler en IMC donc en IFR et que tu veux faire un petit saut de puce genre Nice-Cannes (oui c'est court ! ), suivre les SIDs et les STARs, ça doit sûrement devenir très souvent un casse-tête !
+Bourdier Nicolas Bonjour, merci. En fait il n'y a pas tellement de différence entre les pilotes virtuels d'aujourd'hui et les pilotes réels. La simulation est devenu aussi réaliste et exigeante que des conditions réelles (avec les logiciels et IVAO par exemple). Il n'est pas rare que des pilotes virtuels en sachent autant (voir plus) que beaucoup de pilotes.
Les seules vraies différences résident dans le stress qu'on peu avoir en vol (qui réduit la capacité de réflexion) ... et le prix ...
Pour répondre à ta question, plus la distance à parcourir en IFR est courte et plus le vol est complexe et chronophage. Un Toussus (LFPN) -> Pontoise (LFPT) par exemple est hyper chargé en termes d'actions à faire (surtout en mono pilote).
En IFR, on utilise parfois des procédures adaptées appelées POGO (fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pogo) pour des vols très courts ce qui évite d'avoir à trop monter et aller utiliser des airways pour re descendre tout de suite.
Donc il existe des solutions IFR palliatives pour les vols très courts.
+François SUTTER Effectivement on peut atteindre un niveau de réalisme très haut en simulation ! Mais ça ne remplacera jamais les sensations de pilotage et certains comportements en vol...à ce que les pilote disent FS n'est pas vraiment conforme à la réalité sur ce point (sensibilité yoke, etc.). Je connaissais également les POGO mais malheureusement pas toujours disponibles partout !
Merci encore pour ces infos ;)
That is the biggest MFD I have ever seen
Me too :-)
great video but couldve done without the soundtrack. This isnt Top Gun
Thanks.
I agree but sometimes when you have to speed up the frame during the montage the sound needs to be replaced or erased. In this case, when the speed is increased, a common practice is to change the soundtrack with music.
Amazing video ***** I really like the PA46 it has a beautiful sporty shape! What a great sunsett too!
Though I'm not a big fan of LCDs in GA cockpit (I rather see needles moving, but that's personal jaja), I really like your MFD and the virtual world it shows! I guess I'll change my mind once I fly a glass cockpit for first time.
So far I'll have to stick to the good old 150, and leave the PA46 for FSX flying ;)
Btw, you are invited to check out my channel.
Regards from Argentina
Hi Mauricio,
Many thanks for your comment. This is definitely one of my favorite video and one of my best flight at this very time.
It is great to be viewed from Argentina ! I would love to fly over your country.
At the very beginning, it seems a bit strange to change from needles to screens but after you will love it ...
I have seen (and subscribed) your channel.
Keep flying :-)
