Short in flight clip

A short clip of my wife and I flying from Teterboro, NJ to Latrobe, PA after a couple nights in NYC.  She is comfortably nestled in the back sleeping soundly.  Love our Mooney!!

Nice video! What was your TAS? it looked like you were screaming along. When you do your next video, could you do a longer segment on the JPI. Really never seen one in action. Thanks for sharing!

Looks like a nice smooth flight Brett. Lot of snow up there!!

Interesting that your wife prefers to fly in the back...

Looks like his iPad was his co-pilot on that flight!

It depends.  But no matter where she is sitting when in the little airplane................she is sleeping.  

 

If on the corporate airplane.......she is drinking.

Thats 169 KTAS by my calculation.  Either you have one fast J or your alt static is open. You are really moving along!

 

At that ROP power setting, out plane will only do 157-159 KTAS.

Thank you.  The temp setting on the TAS correction window was off by two degrees.  But I figure it was around 164 kts.  My percentage power also needs tweaked on the JPI a little bit.  It is not correct.  It was right at standard temp so I figure it was close to 75% power?

Nice flight! My wife falls asleep every flight. As soon as we are above 5000' she is out. I had her try oxygen once and she stayed awake. But she didn't like the fuss so won't try it again.
