If he’s a troll, then he’s a really stupid one to post vids of FAR violations.
The best.

it's a local story about a plane crash in Oriville, CA.
"Jerry Wagner, an aviation expert..."
I’m not watching those. Primacy and all that. I’m not instrument rated yet.
Lol. Not normal!!!Um.... low time private pilot here... is this.... normal?
turned it off after the handoff to departure. Even my radio calls are more professional (tower to departure then to flight following in the dc sfra). So much chit chat and clogged up frequency
yikes. And when the guy jokes - always good to do this on the roll.... wow.
This video is a turkey (and so is he), but reading the comments on a random selection of his other videos indicates lots of people love the guy and his flying.
I just watched the first five minutes and couldn't take anymore. I'm a not-quite 200 hour VFR pilot, and my wife's flown with me for maybe 20 of those hours. She is not a pilot, has no interest in becoming one, and won't even touch the yoke...her only GA experience has been in our plane with me, and I'm FAR from an expert, experienced pilot. SHE was aghast at this guy's incompetence, and told me to turn off the video.
Once again you live up to your avatar. There's plenty of legitimate things to criticize him about, getting personal just makes you look bad.Plus he has a face you just want to cave in. Take your rapestache elsewhere man!

Couldn't he just file an ASRS after every flight?
That's why I said "plus" as in "in addition to"Once again you live up to your avatar. There's plenty of legitimate things to criticize him about, getting personal just makes you look bad.

Right...it isn’t JUST Wagner that looks bad now.That's why I said "plus" as in "in addition to"

I didn't notice, but you're right. He's sitting on the harness.I stopped the video just as soon as I saw that the PIC wasn't wearing his shoulder harness... 91.107 SMH

I don't think either of them were acting as PIC on that flight.I didn’t catch that but I didn’t make it more than a minute into the video before I couldn’t stand it anymore. The reason I quoted you was that you used the acronym PIC. I don’t think either of them had the situation under control from what I saw!

"Plus", as "in addition to".
My favorite part: “what speed do you rotate this thing?” “Oh, when it feels like it’s ready to fly”

I took off in a C-207 one time, climbed to cruise altitude (1500AGL) and set cruise, then looked at the A/S and it was on ''0''...
I used to take my students on a flight with the A/S covered, take off, around the pattern, then land.
Pretty much every small plane I have flown has let me know when it is ready to fly.
But I have never flown a PC-12, so I don't know how that one feels when it is ready to rotate.

In fairness, when they hit the 6596 ft tall cumulo-granite peaks at 6000, the shoulder harness won't make a bit of difference. Just wait. Once you get to his level, you too will be able to tell which short cuts you can take without increasing your actual risk.

He's done that before when the video has been particularly egregious. At one point he removed all of his videos and then re-added a selected group. My all-time favorite is one of the "lost episodes." It's kind of reminiscent of the Pilatus one in that it has to do with not understanding a chart. In that one, he and his wife were heading home from Disney. Departing KFUL, he gets the ANAHEIM SID. Takes off and receives and instruction to "join Victor 8," at which point he says, "Well I don't need this anymore," and tosses the plate book (still using paper at the time) in the back seat. When ATC asks why he didn't turn at POXKU, Athe controller quickly realizes what he's dealing with and gives Jerry turn-by-turn instructions along the SID. Somewhere in the middle, Jerry helpfully offers to cut straight across the LAX approach corridor using his handheld GPS.And the video is private again....
