I have just watched this clip for the second time and noticed the rather strange airways clearance. It seemed to list every waypoint and even included (I presume) the STAR for KLAS. I am more used to getting a clearance along the lines of...."cleared (departure point) to (first waypoint), flight planned route, SID, altitude, code". Were you being given a whole new route or something?

[soquan]

@BaronBoy100 Actually the route was the exact one we had from our flight plan, which did include the arrival. i think since they didn't have a tower, rather a flight service station, he elected to read all the clearance, so in short, i have no idea why he did that :)

[BaronBoy100]

@soquan Thank you for the reply. Very strange to give a clearance like that. Incidentally, has N36RR got a hush-kit fitted? If not, how do you get on in Europe now with their more restrictive noise limits? Those old RR Spey engines are noisy.

[soquan]

@BaronBoy100 Yep, noisy they are. Switzerland and Austria are two countries I know won't allow anything below stage III, there might be more, but in the UK, France and Italy, you can get there with stage II with restrictions on late night takeoffs.

Love these videos! Even though I'm not IFR rated, I find them extremely instructive. (and, I'm a sucker for the "Steam Gauges"; some of them have that "autosyn synchro" style look to them :-) Question: Is this a "check ride", of sorts, for the PIC? Thanks again,

[soquan]

@mmichaeldonavon No it's not a check ride, but the PIC can get away without wearing a uniform :)

7:25 it looks like the throttles are in diff. positions..?

[EAPENJJ]

@soquan Thanks for the explanation. Videos are always well made, informative and awesome.

[soquan]

@EAPENJJ Yes we did the visual, they almost always bring in corporate and general aviation aircraft to 19R, weather permitting, if you notice the tower at 7:10, looks like a needle, and is called the needle, usually ATC asks you to fly to the needle and clears you for the visual. On this particular flight, we asked for 19L because we though immigration was at the main terminal, but they told us that for general aviation, customs and immigration was on the west side, so we accepted 19R.

[EAPENJJ]

I noticed Runway was changed at your discretion from 19 L to 19 R at Vegas. Did you guys end up doing a visual approach to 19 R or did the co-pilot tune into the 19 R ILS? I couldn't make out from the video but I'm guessing you did a visual.

[soquan]

@YMBatal Ya hala, well the throttles aren't accurately aligned, so when engine sync is off during takeoff and landing, one is slightly ahead of the other, but producing same power. This is what you get with older aircraft. You can notice that with, for instance, the classic Boeings.

[YMBatal]

Very nice as usual; why the asymmetric thrust on approach? Saw it in another video too. Thanks in advance and greetings from Egypt.

[drake123josh]

6:17 why are the attitude indicators flight director needle pointing at different directions as if it wants the copilot to fly a bit to the left where as the pilot is right on target?

[soquan]

@berndl yes they are geo-refrenced, it's a canadian company, CMC Electronics 1100's

[berndl]

@soquan: Sorry to bother you, my questions were: Which brand is yours? Is it geo-referenced?

[BaronBoy100]

@soquan Thanks for the explanation. Really enjoy the clips and you seemed impressed with the G650 at NBAA.

[soquan]

@berndl there are many on the market these days, even jeppessen has it on the iPad now, it just can't be as fixed cockpit items, must be portable. So as long as you don't have it as a fixed item, you are legal to use them, and so many on the market. My advice, get the iPad application and use that, it has the best deeply as of now.

[soquan]

@BaronBoy100 Yeah sure, it's the reverser re stow switch, we use it on both takeoff and landing, what it does is allow for hydraulic pressure to re stow the reversers should they be deployed inadvertently during takeoff or landing. When the aircraft is in flight mode, there will be no pressure supplied to the reversers, so if they deploy because of a malfunction, there will be no way to put them back in because of no hydraulic pressure, this just bypasses that and allows for pressure.

[BaronBoy100]

Question please. At 4 mins. you focus on a guarded switch that has the guard raised. It appears to be labelled REVERSER. I thought initially that its purpose may have been to disarm the reverse thrust but then saw that they were used on landing. Can you explain their purpose please?

[sva226]

very nice

[M777d66]

Very nice captain very nice .

keep it up .

[berndl]

Best Flying clips on YouTube! Very good picture and sound quality!

Btw, what kind of moving map / EFB are you using? Seems to be geo-referenced - who did it? (Garmin just started to offer geo-referenced charts; this took them some time. How can a simple portable moving map display have this helpful feature?)

[soquan]

@SgtRevan Many of the older aircraft have the throttles in different positions because the aren't FADEC, and do have physical connections to the fuel controllers, and with time can produce a difference between the engines, which means to get the same power from them, you will probably have to put them in different positions. Although when you take them to a maintenance facility, it can be rectified. In this particular aircraft, if you turn on engine sync, they match up.

[Nickdj86]

@SgtRevan I presume due to the fact that the engines are different (one may be older). So one might produce more thrust because it has fewer cycles hence the need to give slightly less power so that the 'older' engine will give an equal amount of thrust.

[SgtRevan]

Why are the throttles at two different positions?  And great video!
