Cessna 400 Corvallis - Attractive pilot, walk-around & demo w/ stall

[BPwhistleblower]

Those are cute little boobies! would love to watch em jiggle on throttle up..

[donrumsey]

She IS hot!

[AVIATIO]

She is hot, but I would rather have the aircraft--at least it does not talk back, besides that smooth-sounding engine.

[lkorn9150]

The Cessna is more attractive.

[skipandersen]

mile high club anyone? BTW whats up with her voice

[TakingOverCAST]

@888888username i agree with all that. more systems = more complications = more prone to error = more likely that those errors end in catastrophy.

but i was only saying that with a twin, you have more options. Not taking into account pilot ability because before even considering bringing my family in an airplane I want to be proficient. A twin has more options, say at engine failure at 300' after T/O in an urban area. there's a lot of factors. anyway twins are more expensive to operate anyway.

[TakingOverCAST]

@888888username sorry. did you say a single engine is safer than a twin?

[HeRacesTheSun]

@888888username I couldn't agree more, lot's of tiny minds in this world and YouTube attracts lot's of them...

[pliedas]

@888888username amen, dont set the bar low...aim high.

[Eysthin]

no inglish ja

[jewtewb]

@888888username

You've had your mother and you've had your sister.

[novsierra]

i'll take the demo girl...

[tomtom5418]

when she said "twin-turbocharged, dual inter-coolers, 310 hp" I seriously almost lost it. Will you marry me??

[flyboy7322]

Amazing plane! Not sure who would spend $800,000 on a non pressurized single engine fixed gear not certificated for know icing. But I would fly one on someone else's dime any day.

[JCLounon]

This video contains the two most beautiful things in the world.

[Nonsenseatbay]

Admiring both. I think we can do without the lewd comments.

[TheTopBloke]

Pressurized?

[Pum0a]

Is she STUPID? 1:35 "you get pretty close to the speed of sound" - Speed of sound is 1'225km/h ; Cessna 400 has a top speed of 435km/h ??!!!

[TheTopBloke]

@Pum0a The prop, not the plane.

[robertmgreenlee]

@Pum0a She was talking about the speed of the prop going through the air. The tips of the propeller can get very close to the speed of sound. It can get very loud and is not good for the prop either.

[BenGaut]

@Pum0a She's talking about the scimitar shape of the propellers. The prop tips DO get close to the speed of sound.

[SCJohnson77]

ew

[gewglesux]

Lancair? wow.. is there much change since it's new name? I bought the RC version of this.. when i twas called a lancair/columbia 400

[jckshtup]

u ever fly at modesto

[txnetcop]

Does she come with the plane??? I love the new carbon fiber Cessna, but it won't happen in my life any time soon. I just partnered into an old '74 Cessna 206 Nice video though!

Ted

[RaptureThis]

Who gives a crap about a chick pilot? Keep it in your pants, you nerdy horn dogs! Wow--a cute female who flies better than you. Hit the books, boys, and concentrate on learning how to fly. JEEEEEEZ!

[tenminutetaxi]

Very nice plane!! Love the speedbrake and the inspection panels!

[aaokiwan]

She's beautiful...and the plane looks good too. heh

[ecktoeman]

If you buy the plane for 500K you get a blow job too.

[K0nst4nt1n96]

Stalled 2 times lol

[mypspisdead]

is ryan a glider pilot?? He looks like he's putting her into a slip at 8:09 :)

[Skayzifly]

Wonderful aircraft, I need one of them !

[halojumper70]

This chick is off her rocker. The speed of sound at FL 250 at standard temp is 693 mph. This plane doesn't scratch the surface of the sound barrier. People ought to check their facts before spewing off bullshit numbers.

[thinguk56]

@halojumper70

I think she's referring to prop tip speed......

[karthikkito]

@halojumper70 The prop is moving very fast and the tip can go supersonic (obviously the plane itself is moving much slower).

[kfordudflight]

@halojumper70 thinguk56 and karthkkito are right, when the propeller blades break the speed of sound they lose a lot of effectiveness and also create excess noise. To counter this they use scimitar propeller blades, add more blades, or just lower the engine rpm.

P.S. Call me old fashioned, but I like a control yoke more than the side sticks in aircraft.. Just a personal thing.

[dboy4ever]

Did you end up buying the airplane?

[crazyk6]

She is gorgeous. Does she really know what she is saying or did she study the academics from cessna?

WHO CARES! RIGHT?

[shnewsman]

she used to work for columbia as a demo pilot. i have the video of her with a C400 and the G1000 system.

[poelaertpieterjan]

@shnewsman upload;-)

[shnewsman]

i don't even know if the company that made the video is still in business...

[shnewsman]

her name is emily watters (nelson). she was lead salesperson for columbia at the bend airport/factory before the company was sold to cessna. she was the west coast corvalis rep until early 2010 but it's unclear what she's doing now. emily is a CFI with over 2500 hours in various aircraft and is reportedly an expert in garmin and avidyne MFDs.

[shnewsman]

she is also an ATP and certified in the citation 525. perhaps she went back to flying for a living...

[prabhatkaushik]

Can someone tell me whats the use of a 25000ft ceiling on the plane without cabin pressurization?

[columbia400driver]

@prabhatkaushik

I do not like to fly above 18000 ft because of the need for the mask. Flew one leg from Bosie to Centenial at 22,000 ft, more exhausting. The only advantage is that if you're flying at 20,000 ft and need to get higher for any reason you have 5,000 additional feet.

[smimot]

@prabhatkaushik , you don't need a pressurized capsule to go that high, only O2. A full O2 bottle(1800 PSI) and mask would be good for long trips at altitude, especially to go around or over storms, or turbulence.

[prabhatkaushik]

@smimot thanks for the info :)

[manifestgtr]

uh oh...mighta landed a little fat there at the end haha...it's all good, you're demoing a cessna 400...that's about as sweet as it gets

[nighthawk0077]

love hearing those turbos spool on takeoff!

[cff121]

@naperflyer certainly Teledyne Continental wouldn't approve of their engines being run that hard for long cruise periods. I'd also guess your fuel burn would be about 26-28 gph in these conditions.

Now for some real world figures. I would say cruise 220 KTAS @ FL250 @ 20-22gph LOP isn't unreasonable. and ~205 KTAS @ FL250 @ 16gph LOP is realistic as well.

[parttimeaviator]

@cff121 Nope, 17.9 GPH is the max LOP fuel flow. Depending on equipment, that will give you close to 220. Running 20-22 GPH isn't LOP

[cff121]

@naperflyer that last figure seems a little far fetched to me as well. Here's the truth about a Corvalis TT's speed. A production CE400 will do between 233-237 KTAS, depending on the plane, configuration, equipment, etc. at its max certified altitude of FL250 and while flogging the crap out of the engine ROP, full throttle, maximum RPM to squeeze every ounce of power available out of it.

[parttimeaviator]

@cff121 A production 400 won't do those speeds at altitude. More like high 220's if you can run it ROP, and often times you cant.

[justaflyguy11]

There is some lucky guy somewhere...

[KingOfBanks]

1:06 Did you say changes angle of incidence? Wow, that is amazing! I thought that is fixed at any given point, but I may be mistaken.

[devno9904]

I would still rather be in my Piper J3-only problem is its only got an 81" WINGSPAN!

[naperflyer]

Can Someone please post a video and show the plane doing 235kts at 24GPH... or even better, 225kts at 16GPH... They inflat the numbers so high.. There is no way that aircraft will do those speeds.

[parttimeaviator]

@naperflyer It will. Just without A/C, prop heat and wing de-ice. Very few of those airplanes out there.

[Nonsenseatbay]

Hommina hommina hommina hommina....

[jancio2]

435Km\h Nice;)

[ThePiper235]

you can hear the turbo kick in on takeoff haha

[SweatyFunSeeker]

is this Camarillo or Oxnard?

[SportsFitNXT]

@SweatyFunSeeker - Fresno, KFYI

[Petejay2]

Wow i love this girl!!!

[wyo7011]

What airport is this?

[MrDjDiversity]

Hi there... I havent been flying planes for long and as i cannot get a ppl because of my age, I was wondering what it feels like to fly a joystick rather than a traditional yoke???? Thanks, Sammy

[8QQHC]

You can't beat my 1978 C152 which has a U/S DME, no parking break and worn mixture ratchet.......OK, maybe you can.

Nice 1st landing by the way

[SwissBadAngel]

Cool, what's her name?  ;-)

[Spec62]

Oh yes, Emily knows her stuff. Excellent pilot with a very superb product she's marketing to the public, but come on. . . she wouldn't be nearly as appealing if she were trying to sell a Mooney. . .and that IS the fastest single engine piston around. She doesn't even look like a Mooney person, God bless her. She's a Corvallis person.

[Pilotsofer]

her voice keeps changing

[danaeromodels1]

nice

[houstontexas89]

It definitely didn't look like they cleared the displaced threshold on that final landing haha

[formeliandialogue]

she know her stuff!

[shanerobertspilot]

I love the GPWS and Traffic Proximity call outs!

[adrianrubi]

sounds quiet for a single engine prop plane.

[hellview96x]

if I'm flying with her...

the plane better have a good autopilot.

[mechan9]

@hellview96x Got to see her and the plane at Reno last year. Christ, she's too much of a distraction lol

[jusm11]

4:45 what air class are you at?

[altooname]

Super sweet ride but please mike the "explainer" - a lot of her comments were impossible to hear, unless she was near your cam and its mike.

I saw the other vid "Cessna 400 290 kts over ground". Mamma mia! I learned to fly in a J-3. This is slightly more advanced.

[XX737]

sexxy chickka

[masterman3178]

just flew this plane handles great and is fun as hell to fly

[cessna1acca]

nice video

[dingoklectos]

smart and good looking blonde...even amar bose, founder of bose corporation would be found of her...man i love the aircraft (looks like cirrus), the pilot and the bose headphones...

[cff121]

@zorfia89 - a CE-172 burns around 9-10 gal per hour in cruise, depending on the model and cruise power settings you select. A CE-400 will burn between 17-24 gal per hour when run 70 deg lean of peak, depending on your cruising altitude as well as your selected range and cruise profiles.

[maestrosVIP]

Imagine if that would be a R/C plane!!!

[zorfia89]

could any1 give me the fuel consumption of cessna skyhawk 172 and the corvallis simple version( non turbo), fule consumption at its cruise speed in 1 hr. ty

[cowkiller04]

It's so cool to see her still out there giving Demos of this great aircraft after seeing her featured in Flight Video Productions video of the Columbia 400 a few years ago. Thanks for posting this.

[chubsmagoo]

Yeah 225kts in optimal conditions.

[SportsFitNXT]

Check out our newly uploaded video featuring the 2010 Cessna 206 TC (turbo). Great explaination of the G1000 cockpit and autopilot functions. Click on our "video" tab above.

[wseucan]

I´d love to fly the Corvalis. My Cessa 152 is nothing compared to this Plane.

[SportsFitNXT]

Everytime I fly this plane, I get a kick out of how "jet-like" it is..low interior noise, roomy cabin, easy handling characteristics, avionics suite, etc.

I especially like the "play-back" option for ATC clearances on the radio(s). Eliminates "say again please" 's in high traffic environments.

The air-conditioning is worth the zero's on the price tag!!

[757LeftSeat]

Sorry for all the typos, Mike. I am very tired today.

[757LeftSeat]

Mike,

You recalled the "Cutlass?" I thought you might have recalled it as the "Gutless" remember!?! :)

These are the old Lancair Certified lines. The used to be called the Columbia Line of aircraft. For the retract, they would have needed to build a certified version of the Lancair IV-P. The 4P was the fasted Lancair ever designed, but it was certified under FAA Rule under the Experimental Category and they never included it in the Columbia line of airframes.

I think they should have.

[Mikeishere1st]

What's next for this line? Retracts? (recalling the Cutlass from the Slowhawk...).

What's with the auto traffic alert system - standard? (and wouldn't it drive you nuts with a lot in the pattern?)

[strangerx1]

omg 235knts in 23-24 gallons

[sk8rguy178]

what do you gotta do for a demo flight, does it cost anything and can you do them at any cessna dealer

[SportsFitNXT]

To arrange a demo, contact Sarah at Channel Islands Aviation - (805) 987-1301 x 126

[OI8APC2]

@sk8rguy178 You probably have to be wearing very expensive sunglasses, polo shirt and smell terrific.

[sk8rguy178]

female pilots are hot

[alduncine]

Great video, appreciate the inteview with good questions.  That is " the plane " to fly on fix gear SEL. Thanks for sharing!

[SportsFitNXT]

That's the TURBO at 3.44. I love this airplane! I found the airplane very easy to fly (once I found the rudder trim). I was amazed at how quiet and "jet-like" the cabin was. It's a plane you could take a trip with an attorney girlfriend in and she wouldn't be scared....now that's worth the cash!

[THExGOODxLIFE307]

@SportsFitNXT a Cessna with a low wing design =X thats new haha this plane is a beauty thank for posting

[pimpmytafel]

women who fly are hot!

and so is the plane ... the perfect package hehe

[ILOVETIKKAMASALA]

@pimpmytafel true, but time wasted by her flying is time she could be using to make me a sandwich

[louistheonion23]

@ILOVETIKKAMASALA very good point

[SubiesAreForMe]

I believe you can hear the turbo spool at 3:44

[simfgta]

jaja i know i heard it too! jaja

[ljackso]

Sweet! Can't wait to get mine!

[tabu99]

forget the plane..i want HER!!

[hewcharles]

As long as we're all daydreaming, ask for both!

[eceflyboy]

I want one too, but too bad it's not retractable. respectable airspeeds at high altitudes though.

[sgtdavids]

Me want one too

[kelerite]

(sigh) Me want one.
