Number 2, Victor Fox, I believe you said it, but if not, can I verify ATIS information, Delta? Affirm, Delta. Alright, clear to the Kilo X-Ray, November X-Ray airport, via departure direct Burden, Shelley, Imper, then as filed, maintain 5,000, expect flight level 310 and 10, frequency 134.85, squawk 1765, 522 Victor X-Ray. November 522 Victor X-Ray, readback correct, information, Delta's up, contact tower for taxi up safely. Alright, we do have Delta and we'll contact tower for taxi, thank you, 522 Victor X-Ray. Alright, activate standby, so pretty cool, I can just shoot the flight plan up to the screen, it's pretty great. Climb and maintain 5,000, I see 5, I'm gonna go TOGA, flight level change, autothrottle, FMS mode, that looks good. Squawk 1765, departure's gonna be 3485, that's good. Alright, this is all that we already did. AC is coming on, pretty, kind of a warm day here in Wichita. Oxygen master's on, avionics initialization is complete, caps pin is removed, passengers is just me on board today. Bleak, come on, comms navs, we're gonna switch to tower because that's what they said. And then 3485, always good to check at 2485 as our departure up to 5,000, squawk 1765. Comms and navs are set, we have Delta, altimeter is set, full transponder is set, heading initial altitude is good, flight controls up and down. Up, free, correct, trim is set, flaps are 50, items are noted. Cleared right, forward and left. One of my favorite sounds in the world is the vision jet spooling up for taxi. It just sounds so good, the Williams engine. Coming from a piston, any flight in a jet is just the coolest. Cleared right, cleared forward, cleared left. Departure briefing, runway 19L, we have lots of runway, if I don't like anything on the initial ground roll it's gonna be brakes and thrust that keeps us on the ground. Zero to 600 feet, we can land straight ahead if we have an engine failure, but above 600 feet the parachute comes alive. If everything's normal, after 400 feet clear of obstacles we're gonna go direct the first fix of the burden. Landing light will come on, propeat will come on, engine FPS is off, wing staps are off, caster check, trim is set, flaps are 50, battery's charged. Tower, QVF, turn right heading 260, runway 19L at Mike 2, cleared for takeoff. 260, cleared for takeoff, 19L at Mike 2, QVF. Stand by, line up checks. Got some coffee, the coffee was named Blaze Coffee inside, I promise. I've never seen that before, it was pretty cool. Just met a really kind gentleman here at Yingling Aviation who watches the channel, so thank you to him, great service, in and out. Got some jet fuel, it was CAA, so relatively cheap fuel, and yeah, we're on our way. Tower, this is Jet 522VX, holding short runway 19L, full length, ready for departure. Some Bravo airports, I feel like most, you don't have to tell them that you're holding short because they know. Charlie's similar, but I like to do it, but when in doubt, just tell them where you are. So, I know he knew where I was, but might as well talk more. Roger, you can taxi via A1. 2VF, fly runway heading 19L, cleared for takeoff. Fly runway heading, runway 19L, cleared for takeoff, 522VX. Alright, landing lights coming on, probes coming on, clear right, forward, and left. We've got someone slow on their way in. Alright, that is runway 19L, hit our heading bug. Hold power. Takeoff power is set and achieved, we want to get engine. Airspeed is alive, there's 50, everything's in the green. There's rotate. Positive rate, I see it. On the brake, SCIRA. A turtle, poor turtle, it's terrible. 115, flaps up. And climb power. Outside. 2VX, contact departure, safe flight. Departure, good day, 522VX. AT6000, speed 210, oil less, wind 45, 91. Departure, hello, VisionJet 522VX, runway 2.1, climb and 5000, runaway heading. VisionJet 522VX, Wichita departure, radar contact, climb and maintain 15000. Climb and maintain 15, 15,000, 522VX. Wichita departure, Skyhawk 919Z, level 3000. Skyhawk 919Z, Wichita departure, radar contact, resume navigation altitudes for Wellington, are you going to land there or do air work? Own altitude, nav for Wellington, I'll do air work first and then I'll hit up the runway. Roger. N2VX, reaching 4000, turn left direct Burden. Reaching 4000, left turn direct Burden, 522VX. Thrust lever is at MCT, we're monitoring engine instruments. Alright, there's 4000, activate Burden. Clear left. A lot of good memories here in Wichita. I won my first national title here when I was 14 years old in Mays, Kansas, just north of Wichita, for water skiing. N4591, turn left heading 190. Left heading 190, N4591. Alright, we're directing Burden. Got a nice cloud right in front of us, probably a couple bumps, but not too bad, it's not showing anything on XM. And there's not a lot of vertical height, which is good. Cessna 90A, observed traffic between you and Wellington, squawk VFR, frequency change is approved. Delta 2128 at 2500 for 5. Delta 2128, Wichita departure, radar contact, climb and maintain 6000, turn left direct Burden. 6000 feet, left turn direct to Burden, 2128. Popular fix, Burden, Burden. Well thank you all so much for watching, we are in a beautiful G2+, year 2025, which is pretty cool, with only a couple hundred hours, so it's a very new aircraft. The brokerage company that I work for, Arcadia Jets, we just closed this aircraft and it's heading to its new home in Nashville area, so we're super stoked to be able to represent the seller. And now bringing it to its next home, so we wish it the best. That's pretty great, we have aviation sales, we closed a third generation Vision Jet, or a different Vision Jet, which is a G1, and that's heading to Brazil, so that was my listing, which was really fun. Some fun challenges of international maintenance stuff, but it all worked out good, so that's kind of the benefit of working with a smaller brokerage company, because you're super one-on-one with the broker and the pilot taking it to its new home. Alright, 090 to 1500, 2148. We try to put our money where our mouth is, and yeah this plane is absolutely gorgeous, it has the beautiful tan interior, and yeah, it's honestly my favorite interior of any Vision Jet, so pretty cool. We came from Las Vegas today, so Henderson came out of its annual inspection, shout out to All In Aviation in Henderson, Nevada there, they are such an excellent maintenance company, I've worked with them for quite a while now, and they're great. They're some of the best of the best in the entire country, I'd say. November 522, Victor X-ray, contact Kansas City Center on 128.6. 28.6, good day, 522, Victor X-ray. Billed up, I'd like to go just a little ways to the right, go around. Kansas City Center, Vision Jet 522, Victor X-ray, 11,000, climbing 1,500, direct Burden. Vision Jet 522, Victor X-ray, Kansas City Center, welcome, climb and maintain FL230. Climb and maintain FL230, 522, Victor X-ray. Alright everyone, welcome back, we are 27.4, descending 11,000, we got a little bit of a reroute, Nashville VOR, we were asked to cross 40 miles northwest of the Nashville VOR and maintain 11,000, so we are currently hustling on down for that. It's been a super smooth flight, this aircraft's flying well, we're going to have some weather coming into Nashville. I believe we should be able to get the visual, but if not, we're either going to expect the RNAV 17 or 35 approach. It's an uncontrolled airport, and just the routing's kind of funky, so I'm not sure which runway they're going to want us to do, but we'll just be patient with it. No worries there. If we land runway 35, it's going to be a left turn off to jet axis. If we land 17, it'll be a right turn, so that looks good. Alright, run through our checklist, thrust lever is good, we've got auto-throttle on. Landing elevation, 583. Ice protection, we've got the engine on. Wing stabs are off, but we may need it here shortly. Altimeter transition, we've got 2996 in standby. AMF in southwest, 2912, I have 250 descending cross growth at 220. Always love cloud surfing, 21.3. Definitely will probably pick up some good icing here on the way in. Aircraft will probably get a bath too, which is needed. There's a little bit of dust on it from Vegas, but... God, the rain, the water will always help that, right? Clouds, engine IPS is on. Shield going. And 522VX, light rhyme outside air temp, minus 11 Celsius. Roger, just advise when to get out of it. Will do. Light rhyme on the left, about the same on the right. Alright, going through altimeter transition, that looks good. Seats and seatbelts, I'm good. Brake pressure, I do feel it. Approach briefing, yeah, we're on standby for that. Once we hear from Nashville what we're doing. Alright, we'll stand by on the approach briefing. All seats are upright though, ice protection. We got windshield on, wingstabs on, engine on, everything's on. Windshield cleaned nicely. The windshield is TKS fluid, so liquid like the SR. But then the wings are boots. So it punches the ice off via bleed air and boots. That is coming up here soon. I'm going to go autothrottle, manual speed. 522VX, looks like we're out of the icing now. Roger, thank you sir. Obviously keeping the IPS on. Now it's just water, we like water, we'll take that. N522VX, contact Nashville, approach 127.17, have a good night. 127.17, good day, 522VX. Approach, hello, VisionJet 522VX, 11.8 to cross 40 miles northwest of the Nashville VOR and maintain 11,000, we have the weather. 522VX, Nashville Approach, N299.3, say your requested approach. 299.3, it's able, the RNAV runway 17 approach, full stop, 522VX. 522VX, roger, expect that. Thank you. Southwest 1532VX, contact Tower on 118.60. Tower, 118.60, have a good one, Southwest 1532VX. Southwest 2912VX, cleared for taxi and maintain 5,000. Go ahead and take a look. Sorry about that, Southwest 2912VX, go to Wayland and 5,000. Alright, down to Wayland, 5,000. GPS 17, lost approach, final approach course is 173, final approach fix is SONL 2300, bring that down to 1069. 1069, I see it, I see it up there. Airport elevation is 583, missed approach, climb into 3,000 direct, I'll pick hold and hold those notes, are also not for us. So yeah, final approach fix, 2300, SONL, bring that down to 1069, we need one and three-eighths vis. That brings us to 486 feet above the airport, that should be just fine, I went and looked at the Nashville weather and they have plenty of visibility, so. 2VX, turn left direct HAGNOW. Left turn direct HAGNOW, 522VX. Left direct HAGNOW. 2VX, descend and maintain 5,000. Descend and maintain 5,000, 522VX. Alright, we're keeping the engine IPS on, we are looking good. N2VX, contact approach 118.4. 18.4, 522VX, good day. Nashville approach, good evening, VisionJet 522VX, 9.1 descending 5,000 direct HAGNOW. 522VX, roger, it's going to be just a minute, I've got a release coming off. Once he gets off and out of your way, we'll get you inbound, that's understandable. 522VX, roger. There's still someone, so I'm going to just go ahead and slow up. Call off 21, you fly heading 240. 240, call 12. N2VX, hold north of HAGNOW. As published, maintain 5,000. Alright, hold north of HAGNOW. As published, maintain 5,000, 522VX. And Nashville departure, Citation 878P, Romeo is off of Music City, 18 for 3,000, 350. N878P, Romeo, Nashville departure, ident 2993, maintain 3,000. And ident, maintain 3,000, 8P. N878P, Romeo is ready to contact 3 miles north of the Music City airport, you can expect tire here in about 1-5 miles. Expect tire in 15 miles, 8P. Alright, well we've got holding instructions, I don't know... N2VX, you can disregard the hold, just continue on your present, or fly heading of 090. Alright, left turn heading 090, 522VX. 9PS is off, we're looking good. N2VX, descend and maintain 3,000 and then you turn right direct HAGNOW. Right turn direct HAGNOW, descend and maintain 3,000, 522VX. N2VX, ready to cross HAGNOW at 3,000, clear for the RNAV, runway 17, approach into Music City. I cross HAGNOW at 3,000, clear for the RNAV, runway 17, approach into Music City, 522VX. Right direct HAGNOW, that's it. Departure, United 1460, are we unrestricted climb to 1,500? United 1460, Affirmative, unrestricted to 1,500. Thank you sir, unrestricted to 1,500, United 1460. 3,000 is our missed approach altitude. N2VX, report your IFR cancellation in the air on this frequency around the ground at the DCO, frequency change with ICC is approved. Alright, frequency change approved, we won't forget to cancel, 522VX. Music City traffic, VisionJet 522VX, 9 mile final, runway 17, inbound RNAV approach, Music City. Alright, glide path coming in, we're still over 7 and a half mile, R3 green, no red, flaps are 50, airspeed is back. One notch of flaps to go, cabin pressure is doing well, wind chill IPS is off. Alright, we've got the field in sight, we'll go ahead and cancel with Center for approach. Approach, VisionJet 522VX, field in sight, cancel IFR. 522VX, IFR cancellation received, squawk VFR, frequency change approved. Squawk VFR, frequency change approved, good day, 522VX. Alright, do some hand flying. Alright, before landing, 3 green, no red, flaps are full. Zone visual. Music City traffic, VisionJet 2VX, mile final now, 17, full stop, Music City. Minimums, minimums, 500. There's minimums, 500 callout, 3 green, no red, flaps are full, yaw dam to go. Yaw dam's away, landing checks. We made it, that was fun. Alright, we did cancel our IFR, cool approach, so fun. Going from sun, to a little bit of ice, to some rain, to an instrument approach like that. That's my favorite kind of flying right there. And welcome to Music City, 22VX, there's going to be a marshaller waiting for you on the north end of the terminal building for you all this night. Awesome, thank you very much. Music City traffic, VisionJet 2VX, clear 17, taxi to jet access for the FDO, Music City. Probe off, landing light off, oxygen master's off. Well everyone, thank you for watching, welcome to Tennessee. Super fun flight, I'm really happy for the new owners of this aircraft. We'll see you on the next video, y'all have a good one. Peace.
