An actual Emergency on the way to train for simulated ones!

Massive thanks to Osama for being an ongoing awesome IFR mentor! We’ll be flying the TBM 850 and the Phenom 300 more for sure!

In this episode of Flight Chops’ IFR Status Vlog Series, Steve trains with longtime mentor Osama and benefits from the opportunity to adapt in real-time as things don’t go as planned.

Inspiring to act as safety pilot while my IFR mentor exercises his new type rating!

“Stay ahead of the Airplane” at a whole new level!

The idea of “staying ahead of the airplane” is very real in this jet; Everything happens very fast in the Phenom!

Huge thanks to Osama and Henry for being a big part of this one!

The post Phenom 300 WTF! Highest Performance Single Pilot Private Jet – Flight VLOG (+PHOTOS) appeared first on Flight Chops.

Here are some Successes and Failures of 2017:

– 3 videos broke 1M views this year, and this video from 2017 broke 2M views!!

– The Coast Guard series did not get seen by many

Without a doubt, this one of the most amazing experiences I’ve ever had, and it was an honour to get the opportunity to share it. We put everything we had into this production, and I consider it some of our best work…  It had an amazing 99.5% liked ratio, great retention, and many viewers commented to say they were as surprised as I was that it didn’t perform well on YouTube.  

It was the biggest heartbreaker of my Youtube career.

If you didn’t get to see this, please check it out!

– Got Featured by Flying Magazine!

– Multi-Engine Rating accomplished!

(I by no means aced the test, but I scored perfectly on the most important section dealing with over an engine failure after take off / during a go around)

Was majorly stressed about prepping for my first REAL flight test in over 15 years.

Preparing for the multi engine flight test after so many years no having had to face an actual flight test, was a struggle – But nothing beats the feeling of pulling it off – onward to IFR.  Gulp!

– Landed a DC3 (on the purple dot at Osh!)

– Jumped out of a KingAir from 20,000 feet  :-O

– Helped JP prepare for the trip of a lifetime

To see JP’s “World Flight”, here’s the link for the Fun For Louis channel

– Became a formation pilot

– Flew right seat in a Phenom300

– Learned how to fly upside down and land a Pitts S2B from the back seat

– Surpassed $100,000 worth of prizes given away to fans / supporters…  So fun! 

And we’re keeping it fresh for January 2018 – check this out!

– Exceeded 1000 Patreon supporters!

Just, wow. I’m speechless!  BTW Did you know there are now over 3 dozen Patreon Exclusive raw / uncut flights only available to supporters?

We’re so glad to have you as part of this community.  Cheers to 2018 and to new adventures!
