NEW Airplane CHECKOUT! Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) + Flying Piper Arrow II + Checkout

I recently got checked out in a Piper Arrow II to commute by airplane to my flying lessons. Standardization helps me move easily between makes and models and in this video I show you all of the SOPs I teach my flight students and that I use myself.

Jason, absolutely love this style of video from you! Glad to know I am not the only one that constantly talks out loud to themselves throughout the entire flight. Cheers and congrats to continuing to share your knowledge with us for the last couple of decades. (TFP podcast listener since 2009)

So if I ever see a 777 doing a 360 at the runup area, I'll know Juan Browne is at the controls. LOL

I flew that plane from KAUN to KBUR for my commercial cross country with an instructor. We got to Burbank and after stopping at the FBO to get food and fuel we begin getting out IFR clearance when smoke filled the cockpit. Squawk 7600, I actually had to stop my instructor from almost putting in 7500! Then shut everything down. Turned out the grounding wire had caught fire. Spent the night in burbank for obvious reasons. Flew back the next day.

I love that plane. I’ve been everywhere with it. And sunshine is awesome! I just did spin training there with CFI Kelley. He was great and helped me get over my anxiety with stalls.

Love your videos. They’ve got so much fantastic information that no other channel on here gives.

What a cool trick, bugging the wind. I'll definitely start doing that.

[IFlyforPie]

Had an Archer for 5 years not an Arrow but loved it, love the emphasis on SOP's so easy to become complaced . Great work Jason !

[jeffbridgman]

Loved seeing this one Jason. Thanks! Great to see a bunch of SOPs and how they flow together.

[utubewatcher]

Enjoyed your video - I flew out of Auburn back in 1985 . Horizon Aviation was my flight school. I soloed in Lincoln Ca. Thanks for bringing familiar scenery back to me. I now live in Lincoln about 2 miles from the airport now. I also know Juan :-)

[SeanAllocca]

Loved this flight, it had a SteveO feel to it. Would love more like this in the future if you can. Thanks from a paramotor pilot.

Just wait 7 more years. I'm coming over from Greece, getting my Green Card (and then a U.S. citizenship, if required for PPL) and then I'll find you to teach me, if you have actual person-to-person lessons. I love aviation so much and would be an honor of you being my flight instructor. Been watching your videos for a loooong time. You are trully amazing. Be safe!

[tbone]

I can watch this kind of stuff all day.

[RedSailor]

"gonna put this on North because it's the way I like it uh huh uh huh...." Made me chuckle, you singing that haha

[WinglessCarbonBasedLifeform]

Great video. One thing 15:36 Best Glide 79 KIAS.

[linearj]

This is perfect timing, as I am considering buying an Arrow...

My fuel management PA28 & PA32 ==> Minute hand to right of 12 or 6 = Right Tank. Minute(big) hand to left of 12 or 6 = Left Tank. Ezy Pzy

[homertalk]

You didn't mention the S in CIGARS, Course, you had your Seat belt on. Nice flight.

[markcrumblin]

Nice flight, full respect to your discipline.

[johng]

Always nice to see two you tubers I follow flying out of KAUN... Air Wagner - Jerry and The Finer Points!! Nioce. I need to get back in the game. Haven't flown since 2007.... Need to check AOPA's rusty pilot series... Thanks Jason for the motivation!!

[jaimeskiebel]

It was nice to fly with you, Jason! (BTW, nice KC and the Sunshine Band plug!)

[danasampson]

Awesome videos. I did most of my instrument training at KAUN at Mach 5. Both flight schools are awesome. It was fun watching this video. A C-172 I did a lot of my training inks sitting on the ramp in your video. Cool stuff.

[ericdebruyne]
