(bell tower dings)
So we're just taking off from Baden-Baden, Germany.
Heading to Weiner Neustadt, Austria.
Gonna go hang out with Diamond tomorrow.
Fly some of their fun new toys
(speaking in German)
Echo Uniform.
MATT: So what's the status on the fuel?
JP: Yeah, we have to be patient.
That's literally what he told me.
MATT: Did you tell him that the airport we're going to
closes soon and we have to be in the air in like 20 minutes?
JP: I tried it but he wasn't interested.
Matt: So it's kind of interesting,
they've got all these hangars here that are
just covered in grass
and potentially look like they're straight out
of World War II?
I don't know.
We're trying to fix the flight plan.
LOUIS: It's broken?
MATT: I guess, yeah.
JP: Okay.
Direct...
Hello? Oh, for f***'s sakes!
And then somewhere over Austria,
we're gonna convert to VFR.
MATT: So the only instrument approach that they have at,
what is it, Weiner Neustadt?
JP: Yeah.
MATT: Is this
JP: Look at you being a nice little German.
MATT: Oh yeah.
The only approach they have at Weiner Neustadt is this
sort of circling approach but they won't let you
complete the approach, technically, IFR.
So you have to cancel IFR when you descend below
the minimum descent altitude on this approach
and so as a result, we have to file a Y flight plan,
which instead of an IFR or VFR flight plan,
is simply an IFR flight plan that at some point
changes to VFR, in this case, when we get to
wherever we want or--
No, it's not a thing in the U.S., you just cancel IFR.
We keep things simple.
And like, in the U.S., if you go to an airport that doesn't have
an instrument approach procedure,
all you have to do to file IFR there is have an alternate
and so like, you could still do it and everything
but here, they just won't even let you go there
on an IFR flight plan. It's crazy.
MATT: Ground, november two one zero echo uniform,
request IFR clearance to lima oscar alpha november.
[Air Traffic Controller] N210EU, you're cleared to
LOAN, via the GAGSI-5 departure route,
climb initially flight level 70, squawk 6-7-3-3.
MATT: Yeah, could you just say again,
was it the GAGSI-1 or 5?
[Air Traffic Controller] GAGSI-5P.
Okay, we're cleared to LOAN airport via the
GAGSI-5P departure, then flight plan route,
maintain flight level 70, squawk 6-7-3-3, N210EU.
[Air Traffic Controller] N210EU, correct.
(atc talking over radio) MATT: 19.575...
Okay, we need 328 feet per nautical mile until 5,100.
So yeah, we're gonna be 210 to 8 DME, left-hand turn to
intercept this other course.
It should all be in the GPS.
And there are no altitude restrictions or anything on it, so.
[Air Traffic Controller] N210EU, wind 210 degrees,
4 knots, runway 2-1 cleared for takeoff.
And the airborne frequency is Strasbourg, 119.575,
you have a good flight sir, good-bye.
MATT: Cleared for takeoff runway 2-1, we have the frequency,
N210EU, good day.
JP: Alright, here we go.
(engine revs)
(atc conversing with pilots)
(airplane beeps)
[Airplane Computer] Traffic 10 o'clock,
same altitude, zero miles.
MATT: Strasbourg approach, N210EU, one thousand
climbing flight level 7-0 on the GAGSI-5P.
[Air Traffic Controller] N210EU, bonjour,
climb flight level 7-0.
Flight level 7-0, 0EU.
Passing 5,000 feet, we'll switch to standard pressure.
And it was 2-1-0 on the heading, right?
Yeah, it was 2-1-0 track, so just follow the line.
Track?
(atc talking over Matt)
What's that?
You just follow the line.
It's a 2-1-0 track from,
climb on 2-1-0 bearing from KBA to DME 8 from KBA,
turn left, intercept the 0-8-5 bearing from SE,
intercept the STG radial 2-6-1 outbound to GAGSI.
So, just follow the line.
(laughs)
Okay.
MATT: Got some mountains on every side, really.
Mostly to the east, though.
LOUIS: So is that France over the river?
MATT: Yeah, I think that's, what is it, the Rhine?
[Air Traffic Controller] NEU, go direct to RIXED.
Direct RIXED, 0EU.
I love how windy the roads are.
JP: Control, N210EU with a request.
[Air Traffic Controller] Go ahead.
We'd like to know what's the latest we can fly into LOAN
and whether you're able to help us with that?
[Air Traffic Controller] I have to check,
I'll call you back.
Thank you.
We're gonna fly directly over my ex's house.
Like 100%.
[Air Traffic Controller] N210EU, Stuttgart
Go ahead, 0EU.
[Air Traffic Controller] NEU, the latest landing time
at LOAN is 1-9-2-6 local.
We're gonna be 12 minutes late.
12 minutes?
I mean, we can't really go any faster.
We can't make up 12 minutes.
So what are they going to do if we're a few minutes late?
Not let us out of the airport.
Like tell us we can't land and if we land,
they like arrest us or something, I mean I don't know.
You could try calling them
and sweet talk your way in German.
LOUIS: I'm down for a little cheeky arrest.
DIMA: That's a good point, if he can talk, then tell them
we're 12 minutes so, might be,
MATT: So this guy sent some photo of some chart
that claims to back up his claim of 19:56 local.
So I think it's definitely worth calling them.
Control, N210EU, flight level 7-0.
[Air Traffic Controller] N210EU, identified,
and NEU?
Go ahead.
[Air Traffic Controller] Sir I can offer you direct destination,
Weiner Neustadt, at level 100.
So would you mind climbing to flight level 100
to transit our Munich TMA?
Yeah that'd be great, flight level 100,
direct for Weiner Neustadt, 0EU.
LOUIS: Are we worried about getting in in time?
Yeah, we probably won't make it.
I mean, I think we'll be fine
if we landed 12 minutes late.
[Air Traffic Controller] N210EU
0EU, go ahead.
[Air Traffic Controller] Are you interested
in further climb in order to gain some speed?
(laughs)
0EU, I don't think it's gonna help us, unfortunately.
[Air Traffic Controller] Roger, so maintain flight level 100.
MATT: Flight level 100, 0EU.
Control, N210EU.
[Air Traffic Controller] Go ahead.
Just wondering whether you're able to help us.
Looks like we're gonna be about 12 minutes late
for LOAN, Weiner Neustadt and just wondering
whether it would be okay for us to arrive after
their closing time?
[Air Traffic Controller] Okay, that is a question
I can't answer.
You can check, maybe with your cell phone on your own
with the airport.
Do you have a phone number for them?
[Air Traffic Controller] Say again?
We've tried a couple of different numbers
and haven't been able to get through to anybody.
Do you happen to have a phone number for them
or for the control tower there?
[Air Traffic Controller] I will ask and let you know.
Great, thank you.
We have a 70 knot crosswind right now.
If only we that from the back.
[Air Traffic Controller] N210EU.
Go ahead.
[Air Traffic Controller] He just called us
so your latest landing time will be 1-7-5-5.
That is the latest possible.
Yeah, that will work.
This feels very similar to the U.S. right now.
The way that they're dealing with IFR traffic.
Just because there's no like,
do you want this service, do you want this service?
They're not vectoring us around airspace or anything.
The only place you're gonna get that is the U.K.
So on long instrument flight plans,
do they usually abbreviate your clearance?
Like they're not gonna call out every way-point?
Most places aren't going to accept you flight plan
if it's not what they're going to give you.
So in general, you'll just be cleared via flightplanned route.
So we're here at 8,000 feet, just cruising along
on the last flight that I'm joining for,
on the way to Weiner Neustadt, Austria.
We're gonna do a little in-flight Q&A.
Somebody said, "Have you bought the aeroplane
"or is it rented?
"Really cool series, by the way."
JP: Louis owns the airplane.
He bought it.
LOUIS: Yep.
MATT: They saw you speaking German on Instagram.
How many languages do you speak?
There's a video on my channel you can check out
if you wanna know that.
It's called, "How many languages do I speak?"
(laughing)
What's your next big flight adventure?
Has this inspired you to do more?
Maybe, I think I'm definitely gonna try to do more like,
Greenland, Iceland kind of thing.
Northern Canada.
I don't know exactly when.
Probably next summer.
But, yeah, I definitely need to do that.
I think what you should do and what would be great
for the aviation community is to have an annual trip
where all the YouTuber's come.
SteveoKinevo, Steve Thorne, you,
and then just go on a trip somewhere.
MATT: So, what is the funniest thing
that has happened to you recently?
JP: Uh Matt peeing in the plane.
LOUIS: That was hilarious.
MATT: What preparation do you guys go through
to be ready to fly to airports in different countries?
How different are procedures and rules?
That's a whole video in itself, pretty much.
In short, they're a little different everywhere.
A lot of the stuff is the same, so you just kind of show up
and try to figure out how to file a flight plan,
things like that and just take it one step at a time.
So we're almost to the airport.
I think this is probably a good one to end on,
"What so far, has been something you'll remember
"those most about this trip?"
Flying over the Greenland icecap.
Oh, yeah.
Just flying in Greenland, in general for me was just like,
I didn't know if we're gonna beat the landing
we had in Greenland in terms of epic scenery.
Like the mountains, the icebergs as we were coming in.
Right, and also just like,
I would say the whole Northern Canada
and going to Greenland, 'cause you just get so remote.
There's no one out there, you're like some of the
only people in the world seeing that.
That sunset flight we did and the sun was setting
for like 3 hours and it just felt so epic.
It felt like we were just--
[Air Traffic Controller] NEU?
Go ahead, 0EU.
[Air Traffic Controller] NEU, you can expect
runway 0-9, with a long final if you like.
Copy that for 0-9
and yeah, that's affirmative,
we have the field in sight, 0EU.
[Air Traffic Controller] NEU,
just to confirm, you are cancelling IFR now?
JP: Should we cancel?
Yeah, we can cancel.
Yeah, sure we'll cancel the IFR now.
[Air Traffic Controller] NEU, roger.
IFR canceled now at time 1-7-3-0
and further VFR descent is approved.
VFR descent approved and IFR canceled, 0EU.
[Air Traffic Controller] NEU, you may contact
Weiner Neustadt now, on 122.65, goodbye.
122.65 and have a good night, 0EU.
[Air Traffic Controller] Thank you, same to you.
LOUIS: We we're supposed to land by 7:30?
No, they said 7:55.
LOUIS: Oh, nice.
This is a pretty incredible view, too.
Circling down through the mountains at sunset.
Pretty epic.
LOUIS: So typically, would've we dropped altitude sooner?
Well, so the problem is these mountains here.
We just couldn't, we had to kind of stay up
and then come down into the valley here.
LOUIS: Oh, okay.
[Air Traffic Controller] NEU, wind variable, 1 knot,
runway 0-9, landing your own discretion.
Land 0-9, 0EU.
MATT: There's Diamond.
(tires screech)
[Air Traffic Controller] NEU, welcome to Weiner Neustadt,
landing time 3-7, your flight plan is closed,
and please park your aircraft on the right wing,
beside the Hotel-Papa-Quebec-Quebec.
(engine stops)
Well time to use your chocks again.
Hey Matt.
MATT: Yeah?
We know were at a Diamond airport
when the strap is made for a low-wing.
(laughing)
(relaxing music)
MATT: So JP, how's that veganism working out for ya?
This is the best vegan wienerschnitzel
I've ever had in my life.
So we just landed in Weiner Neustadt.
One of my favorite things in the whole world,
as you guys know, are airport restaurants.
So this airport has two airport cafe's.
Thank you so much.
Good food, great place.
Maybe we'll check out the other restaurant tomorrow.
So we just hit up all these airport restaurants.
(upbeat music)
Today, we're here in Weiner Neustadt, Austria.
At Diamond Aircraft, we're gonna go fly the DA62.
(upbeat music)
PILOT: (speaking in German)
(upbeat music)
(engine starting up)
PILOT: ECU test.
(airplane beeps)
Each engine is controlled by two engine control units
and now it's switched to one, cycle the
propeller switches to the other one
cycling the propeller again
and finally the fuel pumps.
(speaking German)
Pretty fun place to go flying.
JP: Yeah it's awesome out here
This is now an aircraft, with envelope protection,
you see the double line on here?
So when you cross this double line,
you will feel that you get a push back on the stick.
MATT: Sure.
So if I just let go, it'll bring it back to
about 30 degrees there?
So I'll switch off the critical engine, the left one.
(airplane beeps)
[Airplane Computer] Check gear.
(airplane beeping)
Okay, so it automatically feathers it.
Okay, I'll switch on the other again.
MATT: Sure.
PILOT: So if you fly less than 85 knots,
(airplane beeps)
it unfeathers and here we go.
Do you want to fly a stall?
Sure.
Okay.
[Airplane Computer] Check gear.
[Airplane Computer] Check gear.
PILOT: Okay, so I'll give you landing configuration.
MATT: Okay.
It handles very nicely.
Yeah, it's pretty quiet.
Just taxiing.
These are just truly innovative airplanes.
(upbeat music)
We mix them in the correct ratio and finally,
this mixture device can apply the correct amount
of this mixture to this blue tape,
where those will lay down the fabric.
So at the end, you have wet fabric.
JP: So the wet fabric has the blue plastic on one side?
Yeah, so it this is our handling, yeah.
And then the workers pick it up from here
and either laminate it layer by layer to the mold.
Or a make a multi lay-up on the table,
and transfer this multi lay-up, one time.
(upbeat music)
(machine beeps)
On the DA40 fuselages,
we have some added some carbon reinforcement
around the cockpit.
(upbeat music)
We have these reinforced foams,
that are reinforced with carbon fiber and enamel.
So they absorb energy.
So this bends, and then this absorbs the energy?
MAN: Exactly, yeah.
JP: Awesome.
MAN: And this one, also here,
installed for the front seat.
It's not finished at the moment.
JP: That's very clever, I like that.
(upbeat music)
Each of these welded areas are ribs
with smaller holes to avoid the uh
MATT: So these are the fuel tank.
It's cool because they're these individual
little aluminum cells that are all just plumbed together.
Then they just slide them in the wing.
So these are kind of my final moments with Baloo here,
the plane.
It's kinda crazy, we made it all the way here to Austria
from Boston in this little 210.
All the way across the ocean.
It's still a little surreal
but this is the end of the trip for me.
Gonna leave the plane here for a week
to do some maintenance, tune up a few things.
JP's gonna head to Canada for a week to get some stuff done.
Louis's running around Europe filming things.
Sad to go,
but now I gotta figure out how to actually fly commercial.
I've never flown commercial across the ocean before.
Got so many bags.
Gotta check all that.
It's just such a pain in the--
(slow piano music)
(train approaches)
So we just dropped into this
little restaurant called Huth.
We got some traditional Austrian food.
This awesome goat-cheese appetizer.
Some really sweet wine and Tafelspitz,
which is like boiled beef with all kinds of sides
and it's really good.
And gonna go explore Vienna a little bit
and then, have to fly back to Boston in the morning.
(train passes)
(upbeat jazz)
What is happening right now?
They just shut down this entire street and intersection
JP: And I was like, so sure.
Yeah, we thought it was like
somebody important coming through.
I was so sure it was gonna be somebody important.
Like some VIP that they're just shutting down
the road for them and it's actually a bunch of
people for Friday night skating.
(upbeat jazz)
(upbeat music)
So today, I'm doing something
I've never actually done before
and that is crossing an entire ocean
on a plane that I'm not flying.
So far, it's pretty nice.
It's been a little stressful.
(upbeat music)
(jet engine)
So far, so good.
I have to admit, the food here is a little bit better than the Bonanza
and the ocean still pretty much looks the same.
Enjoy.
Thank you.
(upbeat music)
Cheesecake with berries or cheese?
Uh cheesecake.
Thank you.
So overall, I'd say this has been
a pretty stressful experience.
Certainly compared to flying yourself.
While, business class makes it bearable
because the seat's pretty comfortable,
you get all kinds of snacks, the food's great
and admittedly it is nice having a bathroom.
I spent like four or five, maybe six hours
waiting around, standing in line,
carrying around heaving bags through the airport
going through checkpoint after checkpoint,
stressing about whether they would even let me
take all of my bags on the plane.
It's just, it's an awful expierience.
I'm kind of surprised though, that it's like
2017 and they still don't have internet.
But, I don't have that on the Bonanza, too,
so suppose I can't complain.
We're like, right in the tops of the clouds right now
so it's really bright outside.
Here we are, we're back in domestic airspace.
It's actually kind of familiar,
St. Johns, Newfoundland is off the right,
or we just passed that.
That's where I flew from into the Azores,
when I was doing my trip around the world in the Bonanza.
So this is kind of a familiar route,
but of course, a lot higher,
and a lot faster, but I'd still rather do it in the Bonanza.
More food, I like it better every minute.
I thought we were basically done
and there's, I don't even know what this is.
This might be the main course, I don't know.
(upbeat music)
They keep bringing more bread, I love it.
It's so weird because from up here
you can barely even see the waves.
It's so different from doing this down at like, 10,000 feet.
(upbeat music)
Oh and don't tell anyone but I think I broke the armrest.
(upbeat music)
Yo, are you heading somewhere?
