Terry was speaking my language too. I KNEW there HAD to be another pilot, that learned navigation with E6B’s (manual), VOR and ADF and no GPS. And we won’t even discuss the onboard radar then. I flew B55 (6-pack only of course), with a Colemill performance conversion. Great airplane !

Great Avidyne conversation. After flying a C421 for 35 years at 43 GPH, I loved trading to an air conditioned A36 at 17 GPH! As I now consider something to carry my grandkids (and their parents), it is hard to justify an unpressurized BE58 in the 36 GPH range when pressurization, 2, 300 # useful, air conditioning and the same 190K are attainable in another C421 for 43 GPH. Love your candor!

Recently I found time to watch Martin Pauly's video on multi-engine training, 'Ground School' with Doug Rozendaal. He talks a lot about the Baron and V MC, and the Baron v other light twins. It's a little long at 1:23 but very worth watching, I learned a lot! His method called "The Drill" is also very good. I think Flight Chops covered that one once also. Both well worth the time!! JMHO of course. --gary

Good times. I really like the quality of the rear undertail camera. Neat quality.

[jimmyowens]

Thanks, I always learn something from your videos, more than usual this time. EYW is my favorite approach and landing.

I was just thinking.... I should be seeing a Baron Pilot video pretty soon... :) Thanks!

Hello again from the great and wonderful land of "OZ" (sydney australia) many thanks for the wonderful scenic adventure and thanks for sharing cheer's bob.ps fly safe.

Raises hand as another who starting flying way before GPS, and while I won't go into 'Back in my day' mode, it's a whole nother ball game now. But agree with what you guys said, the additional information, and weather and such is not a distraction, it is a big safety help if used correctly. Now we need some video of Terry in his Baron, and maybe he can take you guys on a trip?

Great education on the Avidyne. Sure is different from when I was flying.
Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving.

Thanks for sharing

Super nice guy, enjoyed his commentary!

[chriholt]

Very interesting video and flight, thanks for taking us along!

I love your videos, just a student pilot here chasing the dream in a yellow j-3 cub. Can’t wait to buy a Beechcraft next year. So much information to soak up in every video. Thanks!

[Lancer]

Beautiful views overboard, a plane with two engines (this is reliable). Thanks for the pleasure! Good luck!

Another nice job Chris. I like the way you're changing things up. Nice to hear the comparison between the 55 & 58, but also to see and hear more about that Avidyne. It's really pretty cool and it does seem to have a good input flow. Thanks again, Chris!

I love the crt. I would never get rid of it. Im young too but crt displays on planes look rad.

I love your EYW videos. NQX is my field and radar. So I do help on EYW systems from time to time. Love your channel. Really want to find out how to start working on my licenses.
Love EYW's mobile tower setup. So unique and close to the runway. I bring my son down to their compound from time to time to watch the planes. I've started looking for N3175W ever since I found your channel. I'll post when I see you.

Another great video and comparison....
Time to touch-up (paint) the mixture levers!!!!
The G1000 has frequencies that you can enter into standby as well, via nearest or destination airport.
