Do you love the Thrush as much as most everyone else? Have you flown an Air Tractor to note the difference? Curious, safe flying and take care. Love the Vid by the way.
gotta be the most dangerous aviation job. If your engine quits above the field, your family is going to bury an empty casket, because your body will go up in a massive fireball.
looks like really intense geography around you (in the sense of weather stability) Since most of the land around you is of the same nature, there shouldn't be too much difference in thermal heating and thus air movement. Also there isn't much opportunity for orographic low level wind turbulence.
sometimes u seem to choose standard180 turns with small correction at the end...other times its the 45/225 with steep bank...u just do whatever u feel like or theres a science behind that?
awesome! how do you know, which area is already sprayed, it looks all the same....and why dont you make left turns, i thought a plane does left turns easier than right ones due to the direction of prop-rotation..!?
Yes, it's easier to turn one way depending on engine rotation due to torque, I tend to spray a field the safest way and not worry too much about turn times

what does that black bar do.

It has lights inside for GPS guidance across the field, you can see it better in some of my other videos.
Thanks for watching

it's my dream to spray, i sure hope i'll be able to do it some day.
great flying pal

Is manhill question or observation about not making left turns a legitimate one?
