*music*
  Matt: We can go down to the south of Greenland and then up a little bit up the coast and then over
  to Iceland, or we can just go straight across Greenland but that's a little tricky because the
  ice cap's really high and we don't really know what the weather's gonna be like over that
  So we're here in Nuuk getting ready to go, we're trying to go to Kulusuk; Iceland --
  it's gonna be a crazy day like one way or another it's gonna be a lot of flying
  we might run into some weather, turn around all kinds of stuff like that
  but one super cool thing, we just met this guy over here, they flew, he and his dad flew this SR-22 up here
  for the weekend from New York, that's awesome like that's what you can do with GA, like you can fly
  you can end up in the most random places like Greenland for the weekend
  like, I need to do more trips in the Bonanza to Greenland for the weekend! That's awesome
  but yeah you can go anywhere, all you have to do is you know take some extra planning
  but you just get in the plane and you go it's amazing
  *music*
  Matt: Ok let's go to Iceland!
  JP: Let's do this
  Matt: Got a lot of terrain over here to the east
  so Runway 5 requires 425 feet per nautical mile, so we're gonna do Runway 23 so we're gonna climb
  straight ahe ad to 6,400 and then we just have to do a regular 200 foot per nautical mile
  we're gonna go up to flight level 120
  N225TL: Cessna on the ground, are you on the radio?
  Matt: Affirm
  N225TL: Clear, completely clear for you, clear skies
  Matt: Perfect, thank you
  JP: What altitude did you break out?
  N225TL: 900
  JP: Awesome, thanks for that 0EU
  Matt: Magnetic variation up here is 28 west
  ok, you ready to go?
  JP: I'm ready to go
  Matt: Nuuk Radio, Centurion 210EU ready to taxi
  Nuuk AFIS: N210EU roger, Runway 05, wind's variable 3 knots, no traffic on the runway. Temperature 6 degrees, dew point 4, QNH 1005, and visibility is 500 meters.
  Matt: Copy all that, thank you and we'd actually like Runway 23, 0EU
  Nuuk AFIS: N210EU traffic for climb to Flight Level 120 to Kulusuk is just departed Cirrus N225TL, he was airborne at 1708
  and Flight Level 120 is the minimum safe flight level across the ice cap
  Matt: 0EU thank you.
  It'd be a real shame to taxi off the end of this
  *laughing*
  Matt: Ok you ready to go? I'll give em a call?
  JP: I'm ready to go, pitot heat on
  Matt: Nuuk Radio, N210EU departing Runway 23
  Nuuk AFIS: roger
  Matt: Ok pitot heat's on, that's all good
  go full power, everything looks good there, temperature's over there
  JP: we're rolling
  Matt: This looks good, we're rolling
  JP: airspeed's alive
  Matt: we've got plenty of runway
  JP: She wants to fly so I'm gonna let her fly
  Matt: Sounds good
  we'll get the gear up
  Matt: wow that's a nice view over there now!
  Louis: Wow!
  Matt: For just a second
  Ok we're climbing
  GPS is telling us there's terrain ahead
  and we're on top!
  Wow that's cool, the mountains poking out over there
  Louis: Woah lovely!
  Matt: That is so epic
  JP: This is what dreams are made out of
  Matt: This is so awesome
  Louis: These mountains are so epic
  Louis: *humming Game of Thrones theme*
  *laughing*
  Matt: Are you fully up to date or are you like one episode behind?
  Louis: Yeah I'm fully up to date
  JP: Did you watch last night?
  Louis: Yeah
  JP: What?!
  Louis: It was an hour and a half special, it was amazing
  JP: What?! Louis, you have vlogs to edit!
  Louis: Listen, alright!
  *laughing*
  Louis: I went on Twitter and someone actually kind of like didn't spoil it but they said something and I was like
  that's it, I'm watching it I don't care
  JP: Look at all the icebergs down there
  Louis: Wow, oh this is just so beautiful
  JP: this is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life
  Matt: Ok so we'll keep climbing here to 12,000 feet, we'll level off, I'll give them a estimate for ASVID
  and then I'm gonna have breakfast
  I've never seen anything like this in my life
  JP: Me neither
  Matt: I thought I'd seen like basically the entire world, I hadn't
  Louis: What so when you did your flight you didn't see anything like this?
  Matt: No
  Louis: This is pretty spectacular
  Matt: It is
  this is amazing
  Sondrestrom Information: NEU information, this is just to advise you that I have a King Air callsign Greenland 811, shortly departing Nuuk, also routing towards Kulusuk and will be climbing
  flight level 230 and you might be able to use him as a relay station over the icecap, just for your information
  Matt: Great, thank you
  Louis: The glaciers are just so immense, they're just
  Matt: yeah and then it just extends for probably the next 400 miles
  Louis: Yeah, I can't see the end of it
  JP: And it's a cap, it's an ice cap so it's on top of mountains, like there are massive mountains underneath
  Louis: Is this the biggest icecap in the world? Or is there...
  JP: I don't know
  Matt: Probably Antarctica
  Sondrestrom Information: 210EU Information, did you call?
  Matt: Affirmative, N210EU, Flight Level 120
  estimating ASVID 1417, SOBVI next ...they probably say SOBVI [long o]
  Sondrestrom Information: N210EU, Sondrestrom Information, roger, and report passing ASVID
  Matt: Report ASVID, 0EU
  So we gave them our position or we gave them an estimate over the next fix,
  got the autopilot doing its thing
  and I'm gonna pull out some breakfast
  JP: Louis can you hand me my snacks as well please?
  Matt: Thank you
  JP: I forgot about this oh I'm so happy
  Matt: What is it?
  Louis: Chocolate milk?
  JP: Chocolate milk and Oreos, hell yeah
  Louis: I think this is the coolest place I've ever had lunch
  Matt: This is the coolest place I've ever seen and it's definitely the coolest place I've ever had lunch
  ATC: N210EU, Sondrestrom Information, roger, be advised between ASVID and ASTAN at flight level 120, we will lose VHF coverage
  but passing SOBVI, try and contact high level aircraft frequency 127.85, backup 124.4 for high level aircraft, call relay passing SOBVI
  Matt: Yeah it looks like we're gonna make it to Greenland today, or to Iceland today
  *laughing*
  JP: We're making it to Greenland today
  Matt: Yeah we're making it to Greenland and Iceland
  JP: Look at that, there seems to be a drop off or something, we are reaching the end
  Matt: Yeah
  Radio: Station calling go again, Twin Cessna N5346J, we read you
  Matt: Yeah this is N210EU we have a position report to relay, crossed SOBVI at 1510
  maintaining flight level 120, estimating ASTAN 1552, DA next, over
  N5346J: Twin Cessna N5346J for N210EU Reykjavik Control copies your message
  Matt: 0EU, thank you
  the Bonanza right now is back in Lawrence getting a hundred hour done so we're heading along in Baloo here
  N210EU, it's a nice 210, 210s are pretty similar to the Bonanza
  little smaller, doesn't carry quite as much, goes a little slower, doesn't go quite as far, and doesn't seem
  to handle quite as well
  JP: I would say it carries more than a Bonanza
  Matt: No no definitely not, there are a lot more Bonanzas
  JP: *laughing*
  Matt: Bonanzas are the longest continuously manufactured airplane in history, they have a
  reputation for being built stronger than the 210, and I just love the Bonanza so I'm gonna sh** on the 210
  in comparison
  JP: I love Bonanzas too
  Matt: But that said, this is a great plane, we're having a great time, it's working well, the autopilot
  mostly works the only thing
  JP: the autopilot's sh** let's just admit it
  Matt: yeah the autopilot's sh**, yeah but I mean it get's it there, we're flying on autopilot right now
  we're only a mile and a half off course so that's not too bad, it could be worse but it was worse until we
  got it fixed a few days ago, the one key problem with this airplane, the biggest thing
  JP: is the Aspen display
  Matt: is the Aspen display, on the last leg we got a little bit of pitot ice, pitot ice should not you know
  make you lose the attitude, the altitude, the CDI, the DGI, like everything
  it just completely gave up, like
  JP: that was very upsetting
  Matt: look at that we're just like over all of this snow and ice and then you get these snowy icy mountains
  going into this icy water and then the ocean
  JP: looks like a big slushy
  Matt: It does, so yeah we're just flying over the ice cap here, on our way up to Kulusuk
  doing pretty good on fuel, we got a ton of fuel, we can actually go probably straight to Reykjavik
  but it's just safer to stop and get some more so we have more options in case we run into any problems there
  I think these might be the biggest icebergs we've seen yet
  JP: Oh yeah
  Matt: one of them has a little pool
  JP: Oh my god!
  This is where we would see polar bears
  this is their kind of vibe
  Matt: Yeah there are probably polar bears sipping Coca-Cola down there
  *laughing*
  JP: Kulusuk Radio, N210EU just started our descent leaving Flight Level 120
  Kulusuk AFIS: NEU roger, Runway in use 29 and wind is 270 magnetic, 12 knots, visibility 7km, few clouds at 3,000ft, temperature 9, dew point 3, QNH 999, and transition level 90. Report 12 miles out.
  JP: We'll report 12 miles out, 0EU
  Matt: And we're gonna go in this fjord here after this first one on the left and then it's going to be on the left again
  on that island there
  Louis: Woah! Is that where we're landing? What the heck?
  Matt: compact gravel
  Louis: What?!
  Matt: Yeah
  Oh look at those icebergs over there, that's so cool!
  Louis: We are literally landing on that
  Matt: Yep
  JP: Ok
  *laughing*
  Matt: and uh
  Kulusuk AFIS: Greenland 811, additional traffic is a light helicopter callsign Helix 1, inbound from the sealock and estimating 2 minutes and cruising at 500 feet
  Greenland 811: I've got it, Greenland 811
  Helix 1: Kulusuk AFIS, Helix 1, 2 miles out for right pattern 29
  Kulusuk AFIS: Helix 1, have you in sight and C210 on final Runway 29
  Helix 1: copy traffic, Helix 1
  Kulusuk AFIS: NEU on ground 1641, marshaller will be at apron and the King Air is holding for you and light helicopter is right downwind Runway 29
  *music*
  Louis: that'll be a hard flight to beat, won't it, for views
  Matt: Yeah
  Louis: for scenery
  Matt: Yeah that's probably the most spectacular flight I've ever been on, amazing
  Louis: and that's saying a lot bro cause you've done lots of flights
  Matt: I thought I'd seen the whole world, I hadn't
  JP: and the 20 what was it 28 polar bears we saw?
  Louis: Yeah I think 28, 29
  JP: They were amazing, so big, we could see them from 12,000 feet so big
  Louis: How many polar bears you reckon, 28, 29?
  Matt: Oh at least, several dozen polar bears, many, many polar bears
  *laughing*
  JP: build up a bit of speed here just to make sure
  Matt: Yeah
  and I'll bug 7,000
  JP: Alright power's set, temperatures and pressures are good
  Matt: ok
  wow that's an awesome view out there
  so here's the village over here
  JP: Oh yeah
  Louis: Wow!
  Who on Earth lives out there?
  Kulusuk AFIS: NEU airborne 1723
  JP: copy that 0EU
  Kulusuk AFIS: NEU report 5 miles to the east
  JP: we'll report 5 miles to the east 0EU
  Matt: That was the door right?
  JP: Yep, hate it
  Matt: yeah
  JP: my general rule of thumb is that if I only hear one, then I know it's fine
  Matt: One of the gear doors, what is it? It's like loose a little bit?
  JP: the wind just stops it from closing all the way
  Matt: Ok
  JP: and when you pitch down or something just a wind change pops it back in
  Matt: yeah so it makes a little bump that makes it feel like the engine's a little rough or something
  but it's actually just that
  anyway we just took off from Kulusuk, Kulusuk
  JP: Kulusuk
  Matt: Kulusuk, I think it's Kulusuk, yeah the accent is on the first syllable
  we just took off from Kulusuk, Greenland and now we're heading to Iceland, Reykjavik
  and so we're climbing through about 5,000 feet gonna go up to 7,000 feet for now
  head on out, look at all of these spectacular icebergs and mountains over there and possibly
  run into some tricky weather, there's gonna be some clouds, might be some icing, if there is we'll just
  go down a little bit but yeah we're gonna go from there
  we were supposed to report 8 to the east, are we 8 to the east?
  JP: the second one
  Matt: that was the door again?
  JP: I hope so
  Matt: Kulusuk, N210EU we're 11 miles east
  Kulusuk AFIS: NEU now contact Sondrestrom Information 120.3, have a nice trip and have a good one
  JP: I really hope that was the door
  Matt: Reykjavik N210EU
  Reykjavik Control: 210EU, Reykjavik, good day
  Matt: N210EU VAXAN 19 er I'm sorry 1750Z, estimating 65 north 030 west at 1836Z, SOPEN next
  we're maintaining flight level 070
  Reykjavik Control: 210EU, Reykjavik, roger, you will probably fly out of range with me on this frequency
  so contact Iceland Radio 127.85
  Matt: Ok we'll try 127.85 for the next position report, 210EU
  ATC: that is correct, at least there you should be able to relay through other aircraft if you can't talk to them directly
  Matt: sounds good, thank you
  Louis: alright we have Game of Thrones
  Matt: nice
  GoT: You don't care about the Iron Islands, the Iron Islands are nothing but rocks and bird sh...
  Matt: Reykjavik N210EU
  Reykjavik Control: N210EU go ahead
  Matt: N210EU request Flight Level 090
  Reykjavik Control: N210EU climb Flight Level 90
  Matt: Climb Flight Level 90, N210EU, thank you
  I don't think there's gonna be anything crazy out here, just this stuff
  Matt: Reykjavik Approach, N210EU, flight level 100 with Information November
  Reykjavik Approach: N210EU Reykjavik Approach, good evening, identified, when ready descend to altitude 6,000, QNH 985 hectopascals
  Reykjavik Tower: N210EU wind 350 degrees, 8 knots, Runway 01 cleared to land
  JP: cleared to land 01, 0EU
  *music*
  Matt: Ok so we just got here to Reykjavik, is that how you say it? Reykjavik
  Peter: Yeah Reykjavik
  Matt: Reykjavik ok so we just got here to Reykjavik, apparently we landed at exactly the right time
  got a little show from a couple DC3s, ran into the Brightling DC3 again, just saw that at Oshkosh
  met Peter here he's a pilot on the 757 for Icelandair and you were telling me GA is like super popular here
  Peter: It is, it's really prevelant I mean I come from Norway and compared to Norway this is just
  you know this is United States level
  Matt: huh that's awesome
  Peter: and there are so many pilots, everyone here wants to become a pilot now, I mean look at this
  coming in right now this is just
  Matt: yeah
  Matt: Halldór just gave us a little tour of the Iceland Radio facility
  Halldór: North of 70 north is all HF and VHF south of that
  *explaining something* *aircraft interrupts*
  Matt: Super cool, showed us how they communicate with planes over VHF and HF
  and so one of the interesting things, the reason that for this oceanic stuff, the radio operator is separate from
  the controllers is that for the radio they divide everything up based on frequency
  so they'll have some people running the HF radio, some people doing VHF radio, or and then split those
  up into different frequencies because like HF for example covers a really wide distance and so there
  are different controllers controlling the airspace in areas throughout that whole like HF coverage area
  so they just have to divide things up differently, here it's essentially divided by frequency
  you know ATC it's divided by actual geographic location
  Halldór: over the day this frequency here which is in the Faroe Islands
  is covering this area here
  Matt: Sure
  Halldór: has much workload giving oceanic clearances and stuff
  so somebody is taking this and only keeping this
  only listening to this the Faroe Island transmitter
  Matt: So it was all around just fascinating, they were showing us like the computers that
  run you know that run all the HF signals and things like that
  just got a big cable I guess running from all these HF antennas to the actual transceivers here
  but yeah it was just super cool to see how all this works
  Thanks so much
  Halldór: Nice to meet you all
  Louis: Thank you, Halldór
  Matt: So we're taking this crazy ride up these hills to the top of this volcano and you know it was pretty bumpy
  pretty wild, everything's going fine and all of a sudden the tire just comes off of the rim
  like off the wheel so uh for the moment we're just stuck here but it's a pretty nice place to be stuck
  to be honest
  *music*
  Matt: Yeah this has turned into pretty much a survival disaster, we're hours away from rescue
  no food or water, JP is scooping up snow to drink, it's getting pretty crazy
  JP: so hungry
  Matt: just kidding, we're actually
  JP: I haven't eating in like half an hour, this is crazy
  Matt: yeah we're actually like 20 minutes up the mountain, it's cool
  Louis: So what we're trying to do now is squeeze the tire from all the sides so it makes a rough seal
  and as it fills with air it will pop on
  Matt: We just saw this epic waterfall, walked all the way up there, like climbed on some chains to get up the
  waterfalls between us and the big waterfall and it was awesome, like this place is just so cool
  so much, so many amazing things to see
  and uh yeah it's just epic
