This is the return flight from the N07-KASH-N07 flight from Sept 26: http://youtu.be/vQ4w7oiDKtE

Again, it's largely unedited (there were couple of 10-20sec straight and level segments with no ATC or intercom audio that I took out, but that's about it).

This was shot at 1080p 'normal' field of view instead of wide. The camera isn't mounted perfectly level, but it's not terrible. Gauge readability should be better on this one than the last.

The shade is still a pain in the butt for the left hand view. There are some tunes towards the end, that's what I listened to in the cockpit, I can't edit out. It won't be to everyone's taste, I realize that.

Anyway, I hope the footage is enjoyable. I now have wide FOV and normal FOV footage to compare for an upcoming video shoot for some training material, that was the goal of the last couple of cockpit clips that I've posted.

Interesting note, this was filmed on the day the Chicago ARTCC had the fire. There's a reference to Chicago ARTCC being at "ATC Zero," causing re-routes and altitude changes all the way back here with Boston Center. There's also a clip of "Giant Killer" transmitting on guard towards the end. I gotta look them up, I think it's DoD, but I forget what their role is.

Cyrus, I know you're addicted to skyvector, so I'll make this easy for you :) http://skyvector.com/?ll=41.86983352511 ... H:A.K6.N07 :)

I pulled a "PilotEdge" on this one and addressed a female controller as "sir". Dunno what that was about!

Lol. There's a good lad. Getting to know your customers is what running a business is all about. :lol:

Seriously though, thanks for sharing it with the world. Hope to watch/start it tonight - if I'm not flying! ... although now I'm a little nervous about your music choice. We shall see..... ;)

Oh it's pretty mild music, not to worry. I didn't listen to some of the heavier stuff I frequently listen to on long trips (Hella, Faith No More, etc) :)

Keith any way to make this watchable on mobile devices? I'd like watch via my iPad at my base :) if not of course no worries, I'm sure there is a reason why.

Giant Killer is normally a term used for military ATC within restricted airspace. In emergencies it can be used for civilan ATC purposes. My bet is that it was used to help clear ZAU.

This video appears to be set to prevent watching it on a mobile device. Any chance that restriction can be removed?

Guessing it is something going on with youtube.....the video with helipilot07 is doing the same thing.


EDIT: my guess is that they may be blocking it because of copyright issues with your music
