    The best thing to do when hiking in bear country is to wear bells or use whistles so you don't walk up on them by surprise. Also you can look for droppings to see what kind of bears are near-by. Black bear droppings have leaves and berries - grizzly bear droppings have bells and whistles!

    " moose won't actually chase you " That's a MYTH ! My mom and i were chased by a cow moose around an electrical box for 35 min , the thing had murder in it's eyes and we barley managed to get away . This happens all the time . Being born and raised in the bush i have personally seen several people get chased more by moose than by bears .

For a young man, great piloting and SA skills. BTW...much easier to fly around Canada and Alaska in a USAF C-130, but certainly not as much fun as you are having. Keep the videos coming and would love more comments on the avionics you have in your Bonanza.

    KFC 200 A/P. The switch on the button panel (KC-290) is held by an electromagnet in engaged position. There is a little piece of steel in that switch that sometimes dislodges and consequently the rocker switch will not stay latched ON. I would check this first as it may be a likely culprit (assuming that the A/P passes self-test with 4-5 blinks and beeps).

    You live in Canada long enough, you get used to the CADORS about moose on the runway, and wildlife in the vicinity of the runway/taxiway. On my Checkride, we were doing a precautionary landing procedure on a grass strip. My FIC on the preflight stated that she "might tell me to land, or might be an overshoot". When I confirmed on the downwind pass what she said, she asked why? I told her "Because there's two bull moose on the runway right now".

    What is the Service Ceiling of a Moose? I would think at above 10 feet AGL you would be pretty safe from them. Bears can climb but not without some kind of structure. So there's that.

    Is that a KFC200 autopilot with a KC-295 flight computer in the back ??
    I had same issues in my Mooney with my autopilot, that started to disengage every 3 minutes in the beginning - until it finally never engaged at all. :(
    My solution was to buy an old (pre owned) KC-295 flight computer on Ebay - take out all configurable boards from my existing autopilot, and install these in the new (pre owned) autopilot - Thereby replacing the motherboard of the KC-295 flight computer.
    Worked fine after that. :)
    Let me know if you need details...
    And by the way.... Great video as always !!!!
