      Hard to say. But that one leg where you had special vfr and were flying through the mountains in barely Vmc. That was insane! But this series was epic and lot of good laughs too. Thanks for sharing that with the community and glad it all went well.

    I had a friend that would almost always run out of gas! One night he was in his 180 and flying in icing conditions and. Ice blocked the vent and the bladder bottoms moved up and stopped the floats from reading the real fuel in the bladder. He did experience that dreaded "Deafening Silence!". Love your videos! Thanks!

    I've totally loved this series. I have been up the ALCAN many times in on a motorcycle three trips and in a pickup truck many more times. That trip never gets old for me. I grew up with my dad being a pilot and eventually a Helicopter pilot. He loves helicopter flight (so do I honestly) I never have been able to get my pilots license all these years later. So I've set a goal after watching several aviation channels, yours being one of the main ones, to get my license in the next few years. Thanks for posting great videos and keeping me interested in getting to that goal...

    Guys: Hello from Calgary Alberta. The time and capital you have invested in upgrading your 172 have transformed an already great aircraft into an even better one. Not only making the aircraft safer and easier to pilot but adding many additional years to its flying. As a pilot and 172 owner seeing the huge change having IFR instrumentation brings has me considering the investment in an IFR rating and equipped aircraft. Want to recognize the exceptional level of airmanship both of you possess and your commitment to quality pilot instruction. So critically important everywhere but especially in Alaska with the number of pilots, reliance as a primary form of transportation, challenging terrain and weather. What I enjoyed most about your trip is a tie between watching you enjoying the large box of Timbits or the large carton of Goldfish :-). Really I enjoyed seeing the level of planning that went into the trip and amount of time spent on site showing and explaining all the physical upgrades. Thanks for including us in your trip it was truly an original, looking forward to seeing more from you.

    If you're already using ForeFlight why not get a Sentry? Good backup for GPS, ADS-B In and AHRS plus built in CO detector. Might be tough to calibrate the AHRS though because of your nose up attitude on the R/W. Love the landing lights!

    Love the review of the engine monitoring and fuel senders. I do have a quick question. If your Cessna has a fuel valve with BOTH, why did you choose to manage the fuel in each tank manually? Just for my own information and wanting to learn. I just bought my own 172 and would love the perspective.

    • @angleofattack
      @angleofattack  2 роки тому +4

      Our particular model has a requirement to switch at 5K. There’s a design flaw in the system that causes one tank to draw more than the other.
