Such a great explanation. Subscribed.

I was afraid of doing the solo and stopped flying. Worst mistake of my life…

I booked my first discovery flight

I'm gonna take more flights with my friend who happens to be a pilot as my first step and just be in an airplane with him more often

Maximum age 48 can start for pilot training

A+ tips

i dont have fud nor funds but i will become a pilot

I have everything but the resources. Thank God for msfs. Keep up the great content.

Definitely an all-around outstanding airplane and it would be a dream for any general aviation pilot. As always with so much utility and size the problem becomes the cost. Of course in aviation there's nothing that can be considered an expensive so at the end of the day if I could afford it I would definitely buy one

This is great stuff, as always. I've made a few no-go decisions while standing at the plane, with a friends who cleared their schedules to fly with me. It always feels bad to deny yourself the opportunity to get off the ground, but it's better than being dead. For those of us who fly as a hobby, the risks need not be taken. And it's good to see how a respectable experienced pilot processes these decisions as well. Thank you for sharing!

Great video! Very helpful. I’m an experienced airline pilot in Brazil and been trying to learn more about flying in the United States. It seems like is much more complex than flying around here.

You are my "Bryan" !!! Thank You for the motivation !!!

So, when you did fly your plane next, did any post-maintenance issues appear?

I loved the video. I have been thinking about getting into aviation for 6+ months. I signed up for my first discovery flight the other day and will be going next week. 🤘

Excellent example of Heinrich Theory of safety triangle. 88% of accidents happen due to a decision to carry out an unsafe act. Thanks.

R E A S O N plates ! Swiss cheese holes stared to line up. Last defend line is your own judgement. When there are doubts there are no doubts period. Like my first old instructor always told me : your first enemy is you Fly safe everybody and happy landings ✈️

You should try MSFS and try to fly an airliner (to see what the difference is from flying a skylane

I got to fly as a passenger on a few of the very earliest Kodiak 100's in Papua New Guinea. Those were revolutionary at the time because they were a dedicated utility / bush aircraft and really helped modernize the aging fleets of their operators (who had until then been holding on to a bunch of old 206's in lieu of suitable replacement types). Amazing to see how much further the Kodiak design could be pushed. Quest nailed it with the 100, and it's great to see Daher continue that tradition with the 900.

I’m about to turn 54. I’ve had two major items on my life todo list and a couple of years ago checked off the first one, which was to get SCUBA certified. Woo Hoo!! My second is to get my pilot’s license. I’ve been speaking with a couple of friends who are pilots and I’m about to take that first step toward taking the test. I’m very excited! This video is another reminder and motivator that I can do this. Thanks!!

There are two absolutes that most GA pilots must avoided at all costs. Thunderstorms and icing. Stay on the ground. No exceptions.

Great vid. Thanks!

KUDOS for sharing a good pilot's analysis of how to avoid stupid flying decisions and remain safe.

I have been out of the cockpit for 14 years. I have an appointment with a CFI tomorrow. I stumbled across your video while trying to get up to speed on what has changed in flying. This is one of the best videos I've come across. Great advice. Great attitude. Great wisdom.

Well done Charlie. I think pilots don't put themselves in the "holy shit" moment in the airplane that pushing the limits ultimately leads you too. If more imagine being in too deep and what that feels and looks like in a small GA plane they would definitely make better decisions. Tomorrow is always a good day to fly.

You made the right decision, no question.

Drive down….! Since you didn’t leave at 12 noon!

Wow.... handsome and sexy bear 😜

Swiss cheese model

Was that the White Float Plane? Saw it the Other day while @ the Dog Park!@ LBJ Park

Great lesson/reminder for pilots of all experience levels!

Wow, most excellent! A great example of what TO do. So glad you recognized the slope on which you were sliding and made a great choice to get off. As you were describing the scenario I could feel myself tense as the holes of the swiss cheese lined up. Thank the Lord you chose to get rid of the cheese. As an instructor I value this as an excellent example of how to use the preflight process to assess risk. If I was actively instructing, this is a video I’d have my students watch. Really enjoy your content.

GOOD FOR YOU! Too many people will say I did this so never do what I did. However, they never go through a process as to why they made the mistake they did. Being able to realize when you are going down the wrong path happens to all of us. It's being humble enough to always be on the ready to spot when the risks are piling up and to call it quits. The thought of being up there and with no good options and the embarrassment usually keeps me cautious but never completely immune.

Great analysis! Congrats on 100K subs! I remember when there were a lot fewer!!

The weather in DFW has been pretty bad this season.

Thank you. I am grateful for you showing us your thoughts process and evaluating the obstacles you were considering. I am glad that safety is so important to you.

Charlie, Congrats on 100k subs! You seem like a very genuine person, and I am thankful that you make the content so engaging! I pray the Lord continues to bless you in your endeavors.

The aircraft with the ugliest wheel pants known to man!!! Matter of fact, they are fugly!!! C-208 all day long baby!!!

Excellent decision making criteria Charlie.

Nailed it!

I like the lesson that small things during the day adds up big issues. I’ve shared this video with other aviation friends.

Flying a piston at night is suicide. If the engine fails your chance of survival is next to nil. Big gamble!

Great info! Thank you for such a comprehensive presentation.

Great thoughts..... safety.... safety.... safety.... we have found the enemy..... and we are it.. thanks for ending with good decisions..... many little things can lead to big problems.... Great video...... bob

I have implemented Mike Patey's three strike rule. I don't break it. Even if I want to.

Thank you for sharing this! Reminds me of Mike Patey’s 3 strike system which I highly recommend ua-cam.com/video/X1nXjPhGrwY/v-deo.htmlsi=R-jMoTUF5pU8glFL

Thank you. I needed to hear this

I'm 32 years old and going through ground school and I'm not liking it. In fact, I hate it. The concepts that I'm trying to learn are just not getting into my head and it makes me feel like an absolute idiot and it makes me doubt myself, if I will even put in 1 hour into flying. And it makes me more angry knowing that this is costing me money and I have nothing to show for it.

Greetings Charlie from Buenos Aires - Argentina. Let´s see: you said you´ve been working all day. My (first) humble suggestion: never (repeat, NEVER) begin a trip (neither by car NOR by plane) in late afternoon after work. Your body will be somehow tired and (worst of all) stressed; hence your reflects meaning your response to unusual situations won´t be as clear; rapid and efficient. No urgency; no obligation can justify entering a "danger zone". My (second) humble suggestion: when in doubt between GO-NO-GO decision; is much better deciding the NO-GO option. Regards ...!

Great editing as always, really enjoy your videos 😊

No matter what you apply these to they always ring true. 1) a moments inattention can cost a life time. 2) disasters dont just happen. They are the last link in a chain containing many bad links. In other words multiple bad decisions. Goid job enlightening how a fight can go good or bad by preflight decision making.
