Cirrus SR20 OWD to PSM 5-1-11

This video is a real time trip in an SR20 from take-off at Norwood, MA to landing at Portsmouth, NH. It begins as I work through a final checklist before take-off on Runway 10 at OWD. I believe I was taking my time before calling the tower because another plane had just landed but had not cleared the runway... also perhaps because there was no one behind me. I took off on Runway 10, then banked north on my way to Portsmouth or Pease (PSM). On this flight as I do with all my cross-countries, I used Flight Following so you'll get to hear a few hand-offs and a lot of ATC calls. There are also a few traffic warnings along the way which make for some interesting listening. I get cleared through the Hanscom airspace (BED) and then climb a bit and head northeast to PSM. The controller there had some calls that I'd never heard (unique phrases), but it all made sense and the landing was a nice one. I love heading into those large runway airports where the site picture makes everything seem like it's gone into slow motion. There are three HD cameras and ATC audio on this video and I should note that I had my squelch set wrong, so you can't really hear the first hand-off from Norwood to Boston soon after take-off. I eventually adjusted the squelch after just a few minutes, but for the early part of the video I tried to edit around the open mic cockpit noise to minimize the impact. Enjoy!

Great videos, keep it up! I was watching one of your videos when I decided to checked whether or not anyone was broadcasting OWD's ATC frequencies on liveatc.net, turns out there is a broadcast of OWD's tower and ground frequencies. I turn it on and what is the first aircraft that I hear? Non other than Cirrus 168SR! Didn't sound like your voice though but it was a pretty funny coincidence nevertheless.

@ohcumgache2012 That's a great story. It's cool to hear tail numbers of planes you know well. That plane does fly a lot, so you will often hear it and the other one I use, the Cessna 13151 on the frequency. I helped set-up that Live ATC feed to I could monitor the channel remotely. I love Live ATC.

I also flew in the sr20 at Orlando Sanford airport. It was a great experience.

@spacemees94 It's a great plane, that's for sure.

@rdfelty. This is hands down the BEST cross country I've seen!! I'm hoping and praying to go to flight school one day. This video was extremely motivating for me. Thank you!

@Dachwh Thanks for the nice comments and for watching. There are a few other cross country videos on my page in case you haven't found them. All the best to you.

@budandbean1 Thanks for watching. I don't really like the fast forward stuff. I have done a few where I remove some time using a wipe, but never fast forward. Just real as you say.

@davydood88 Good suggestion. It's a rental, so I need to be sure that there is a paper copy in there too!

@OYRX Thanks!

Super Video! Coming from someone learning to fly, this is exactly what I want to see, a real flight not all fast forwarded, just real. Thank you!
