On this "Commercial Charter" flight Doug White is flying home after attending his brother's funeral with his wife and daughters on board. The Charter Pilot dies suddenly within minutes after takeoff.

On Easter Sunday, April 12th, 2009, Doug White and his family chartered a Beech King Air B200 N559DW for a flight from Marco Island, Florida bound for Louisiana with 5 souls on board. Soon after takeoff, the pilot, 67 year old retired Air Force Colonel Joe Cabuk loses consciousness. creating an emergency situation that required extraordinary measures by the planes passengers and Air Traffic Controllers.

I have used actual published radar tracks and numerous published interviews and news reports to determine as close as possible the flight path, altitudes, headings, and other pertinent details of this flight.

With almost 10 million views, the Doug White King Air video has been the most popular video on the FS MaNiA Channel by far. I was pleasantly surprised receive an invitation to visit Doug and his family in Archibald, LA this past July 2022. I wondered if Doug would be open to an on camera interview? I asked and Doug said, "bring your stuff".
YIKES!!! I'm not a seasoned interviewer. This project was definitely outside of my comfort zone but I was not going to pass up the golden opportunity to talk to Doug about the King Air video's many questions and comments (currently 17,000) pertaining to his role in landing a King Air after the pilot suddenly died within 10 minutes after takeoff. I packed up all the gear I could fit in my baggage and headed to Monroe, Louisiana.
My wife and I were both mesmerized by Doug's recounting of his harrowing experience on that Easter Sunday in 2009. We also found out more about the flying Doug did immediately following the incident, going on to earn his Instrument, Commercial, Multi-Engine, and King Air type ratings. If that's not enough, Doug talks about the new MGM movie, "On a Wing and a Prayer" starring Dennis Quaid as Doug White scheduled for release Easter 2023.
I am extremely grateful to Doug and his amazing wife Teri for their "off-the-hook" southern hospitality and for sharing their story with us. I hope you enjoy the finished product.

Music from YouTube Audio Library "First Day" by Huma-HumaJFK Jr PLANE CRASH - Setting the Record STRAIGHT!FS MaNiA2021-06-12 | From a Pilot's Perspective... It's time to set the record straight.
It's now been over 20 years since the fatal JFK Jr plane crash. Even though this crash is one of the most scrutinized General Aviation accidents in history, it is extremely difficult to find an accurate account of what actually happened. A mountain of misinformation, speculation, and rushing to judgements, already exist that throw John F. Kennedy Jr Private Pilot under the bus without merit.
It's time to stop the assassination of John's character as a man and his skills as a pilot. In this video we will examine the very detailed NTSB "Aviation Accident Final Report" to determine what really happened in those final few minutes to cause a highly trained and very proficient pilot to lose control of his aircraft 7 minutes before reaching his destination airport.

In this part 2 of 2 conclusion we fly the STAR (Standard Terminal Arrival Route) and ILS 1R Approach into KIAD.
Since this is the first time we have featured a commercial airliner on the FS MaNiA Channel we decided to go with one that is as modern as they come with major improvements, advancements, and upgrades, to the aircraft structure and systems. The Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner is without doubt one of the most highly advanced airliners currently in existence. But, does the MSFS default version have enough functionality to make it a contender for a VATSIM ATC environment flight?
In this video I will show you what works well and what could be improved. I will introduce work arounds for the FMC deficiencies so that you can be confident in flying the Dreamliner into any VATSIM ATC staffed major airport.
Because the B787-10 Dreamliner is included with the "Premium" version of MSFS the aircraft files are encrypted which limits community access and modifications. Even so there are a couple of community mods available which improve several aspects of the default Dreamliner. I am using the Hanger 9 B787 Mods which can be found here: github.com/lmk02/B787-XE

Deciding I was long overdue to get back in the left seat of a real world aircraft, I scheduled a few flights with a local CFI to knock the rust off of my wings. After obtaining a fresh 3rd Class Medical and about 5 hours of dual instruction the CFI signed off my BFR (Bi-annual Flight Review) which grants me full privileges to act as Pilot-in-command again. Oh happy day!
This video includes highlights from my first solo flight since October of 2000. After about a 45 minute local flight and a couple of landings I picked up my first two passengers. Mrs. FS MaNiA rode right seat and even tried her hand on the yoke.
I also managed to get checked out in a 2006 Cessna 172S with a Garmin G1000 based at KSUT Cape Fear Regional Jetport. Watch for a flight video in that aircraft coming soon.
It's great to be back in the air again as Pilot in command. Next up will be getting recurrent with my instrument rating, however, I will still be producing flight simulation videos as well. Staying involved with flight simulation was invaluable in helping me quickly get back in the air as Pilot-in-command (I was able to get checked out with the Garmin G1000 with only 1 hour of dual instruction even though I have only flown the simulator version of that navigator!!!)
