Oh that’s precisely it, I’m sure. Take 3/4s of that • out of his panel and I’d wager he’s flying skills would improve by at least an order of magnitude. I feel like most of the poor flying I’ve seen him do (sans really poor decision making) could very often be contributed to finger blasting one panel or another.

Idk, if a dude is distractable enough to get in and unusual attitude when he’s got an attitude indicator the size of his face in front of him he’ll find a way to get wonky trying to figure out why he’s set up the HSI for reverse sensing while flying the iron gyro

Oh I don’t disagree. Like at all. If you notice I didn’t say he’d become a competent, just that his skills would improve. He’s so far in the hole that glancing at the AI a few more times a minute isn’t going to make him safe… just less dangerous.


Edit to add… I really don’t thing his stick and rudder skills are his worst quality. What really scares me about him is the ADM he demonstrates and his attitude. His flying skills will kill him, but his decision making will put him in a situation that relies on the flying skills.

finger blasting

Phrasing!

 

[Roger Roger]

yeah, if this is not a Bob Hoover schtick, he has no business being this lucky

He’s like the 70+ year old dude who takes no care of his health and is somehow unkillable

Wait I don’t think we are doing “phrasing” anymore. Are we still doing “phrasing”?

His FO had a couple nervous laughs in there…the “I’m in danger” meme comes to mind

Being a single pilot airplane operated under part 91 - at this stage I’d call the guy a witness, and if the accident sequence unfolds as we all expect it to - victim.

It is mind blowing that Jerry flies this poorly, publishes it, and constantly gets school by professionals yet never learns.

And, because internet, the amateurs, dreamers, and wannabes downvote the experts to oblivion.

 

[mightynimbus]

In the comments he defends himself by telling people to look at the turn coordinator and that it was dead center and he was doing everything on purpose

his ops normal deflection and refusal to learn

We also don’t have the “I got behind the airplane because I clicked the wrong button on the GPS” excuse (even though it’s clear the guy doesn’t know how to sequence active legs in a GTN750 and has no business flying an RNAV approach), because of the last deleted YouTube video where he did exactly the same “Jerry graveyard spiral” into unusual attitude in IMC but on an ILS approach.

It’s just basic attitude instrument scan. What’s the meme? “Sounds like a skill issue”?

One day this is going to happen at 300 ft instead of 1500 ft and he’s going to take poor Mrs. Wagner and Robert with him.

 

[mightynimbus]

anyone else still blocked from posting comments on his channel ?

He has syn vis. If you get jammed up on the sequencing put the FPS on the runway threshold and flare when hear the pax scream

I’m not so sure. Back in the day when he was “flying” his C320, he had zero tech if I recall correctly. Don’t even think he had an ipad. And he still fell out of the sky on an ILS ‍

He had that stupid iPad because he didn’t have the tech… that’s why he still has it. Old habits that get in the way now.

 

[USMCmech]

Wait… he has a copilot in a company shirt?

I’m assuming the Robert is an insurance requirement or family?
Because why would anybody take that job in the current market.

I'll put good money on the insurance underwriters sudden reluctance to insure single pilot big piston twins is because of Jerry and the San Diego crash. The OAK FSDO may not want to bother doing their jobs, but the insurance companies aren't stupid.

However, I think they are pissing in the wind with Jerry. Even if they won't cover him and his "co-pilot" is actually PIC, he's going to do the same crap as always.

To be fair, not a peep from the right seat as they began to roll over. I can't tell if he's part of the crew or just in Jerry's way most of the time.

He only flies with Jerry so he thinks that’s normal

I went back and looked. He had a handheld Garmin and then got the ipad later. In any event, he didn’t have near the amount of screens he does now, and still sucked. I don’t think it’s the screens that are hurting him. He just sucks!

 

[BEEF SUPREME]

Remember when everyone said this guy would surely crash? He’s been going on some 8 years since then. I want his kind of luck.

If I'd rather be lucky than good was a person....
