A quick VFR flight from Grand Forks BC to Castlegar. Over the mountains at 7500′ and landing on runway 33. The approach to Castlegar is interesting due to mountains in close proximity.

I just discovered your channel. Cool! The first thing I thought was, "Bird Dog" from Bat*21 (1988).
I like your layout of the GTN-750 further down on the radio stack. Lets you rest your arm on the prop controls in turbulence, My mistake was to put it higher up. What JPI unit is that on top, must not be primary since you still have your original engine instruments. P337H N4FZ. Thanks
A wind from the north east would really complicate that approach.
Very nice, this view made me feel as if I were sitting in the co-pilot's seat.
Thanks! Very nice ride and nice aircraft too, but I couldn't identify it. I am a flight simmer and recently landed at Grand Forks. I was doing a cross western Canada tour and Castlegar was close by but didn't stop in. Will have to do that soon. I was flying a caravan in the sim at the time.
Love it! MSFS/FSX junkie with over 2500hrs. That is my favourite area to fly!
Watched a PWA737-200 come in expecting them to come in from the North…
Nope…
He came in flying IN the valley from the East/Nelson, hard bank to the left and landed right on the numbers at the SAME TIME he went wings level!
AWESOME!
Hey, thank you for the ride along..i watched take off,climb, some cruise and your decent.. tell me please , what are we in? Lol
Subbed! Nice flight and thx for having ATC/radio audio. Dad flew Air Ambulance in Regina Saskatchewan and had close to 17000 hours. I have 1605 hours …………….MSFS though.
I can talk to controllers etc. via Vatsim and fly IFR with charts. I am going to recreate this flight. Thanks
Thank you for writing the actual names of the airports and not just the ICAO codes like other aviation YouTubers, so helpful for immediately understanding the context of where you are!
Great cockpit audio
Thanks for sharing another flight. You're right, Castlegar is featured in the sim and it's one of the few places in the Canada update that was worth keeping installed. There's another POV landing video somewhere on YouTube in a Dash 8, same runway, it's what got me interested in the airport.
No way there's a dedicated 337 channel! That's super cool. Safe flying and keep up the videos, cheers from a fellow pilot.
LOVING your Channel and love the plane. The C337 Sky Master is one of my dream planes. Will be finishing my PPL training this spring. Once PPL complete I will get transition training to fly my Avid Magnum. It is similar to a kitfox just a little bigger and heavier and in a tricycle configuration. : ) THANK YOU for sharing your passion for GA flying and all the adventures in the Sky Master. Keep the videos coming. Two thumbs up from CYQT. : )
