Flying the Cherokee Six - From the Rockies Back to the Horse Country
Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 вер 2023
- Join me on this flight in the Piper Cherokee Six from Centennial Airport in the Rockies all the way to Big Sandy in the Horse Country. This video is from the first stop into Lebanon Airport in Missouri. On the next video, we'll take off and continue on to Big Sandy in Kentucky.
I’m glad you stopped at KLBO my home airport. I only wish I’d seen you while you were here. Thanks for the video.
I’m sure I’ll plan to stop there again. I’ll let you know ahead of time. 😀
Hey Raul, I just came across your channel and I love your videos. I am 17 and a student pilot. I fly out of Rocky Mountain Metro and fly the pattern at Centennial quite often! Love the planes and the content. Keep up the great work!
Hello there! Congratulations on your flight training. It is by far one of the best experiences of my life. Thanks and I appreciate your comment. Best wishes to you on your marvelous journey. 😀
Hey there. Looks like one of your headliner screws on starboard side is about to fall out 😊
Yup, always have to redo many of them. Thanks for the heads up my friend! 😀
Good stuff!! I’m in DTC a couple times per month and considering flight lessons there. Pattern work has to be intense vs my home airport (KJAZ) Any recommendations??
Thanks great videos!
Thanks a lot 😀Centennial can get pretty busy. I normally like to take my airplanes out for my instrument practice out of the area to less congested airports like, LIC or AKO. For flight lessons I'd probably recommend Aspen (a bit more expensive) or Centennial Flyers. Best wishes to you! 😀
Your route took you pretty close to our neck of the woods……
I’ll probably take KEZZ later this week but on my return around mid October I might go back through Lebanon. I can let you know ahead of time to see if we can plan to meet up.

Sounds good….
Hey Raul, I know it's been a while since I asked, but have you checked insurance rates if you added on a Commercial Pilot rating? Also, my insurance carrier gave me a bit of a discount for being in the FAA's Wings program. All extra money to put fuel in the tanks!
Hi Buddy, Yes, FAA Wings is a great learning tool and can offer up to a 5% discount on rates. I have a broker that filled me in on how to get better rates and also keep them as low as possible. Currently, I have some very low rates and they can't get much lower for me unless I was able to get between 5000 - 10,000 hours. Rates are mostly determined by type of airplane, hull value, seats, time on the make and model, instrument rating (depending on make and model), recurrent training (including FAA Wings and added ratings), and the amount of time flown per year (over 200 or more normally gives the best rates). A commercial rating, for example, can only be applied once and it would give me the same discount equal to FAA Wings and/or recurrent training. So what I like to do to keep my rates low year over year is flight time (try to do 200 hours or more per year) and training (including the Wings). Thanks for the heads-up buddy! 😃
@@FlyingDirty Thanks for the details. 200 hours a year is a lot of pleasure flying for me, but I can see how you can rack that up running back and forth cross-country in your situation.
Is your son handling the plane any? He's doing well with the radios.
Absolutely, there are several videos with him taking over the controls flying the Cherokee Six and the Saratoga. He flies and handles them incredibly well. Very precise staying on altitude and heading. Thanks for that! 😀
It seems almost impossible to get a check ride. I’m in the Houston area and have no contact with a DPE - now 30 days since I first reached out. Nothing but horror stories. Failed government.
That’s very sad to hear. Times have most certainly changed. The fed system seems to be falling apart piece by piece. I hope to see you getting one booked soon.
