IFR Oakland PilotsNPaws with Levi (Full ATC)
On this flight to the smoky Bay Area, Levi captains his first PilotsNPaws transport. We’re taking three lovely senior dogs Mandy, Ketchup & Mustard as they seek a second chance at life arranged by Muttville, a great rescue group.

Re: IFR Oakland PilotsNPaws with Levi (Full ATC)
Wayne. Another great video. As a pilot, I really enjoy listening to you and Levi work the fundamentals of this and other IFR flights. But, I would also like to see a little more on your, preparing the plane, handling of the puppies, And working with the volunteers. These details might help me better prepare to fly for pilots for paws missions. I hate to suggest anything as I always enjoy your videos. I am just a pushover for dogs.

Tom, your suggestions are absolutely welcome! I'll make a point to add these points in future videos. In the meantime, here's a short set of tips on PilotsNPaws: https://bit.ly/wam-pnp-tipsTom-B wrote: ↑Sat Sep 26, 2020 2:49 pm Wayne. Another great video.

Great video, Wayne. This makes me feel interested in the volunteer flight. I love animals.
Are small puppies ok with the airplane noises for 2-3 hrs? Are they stay calm during the flight without somebody's attention?
I'm just curious.

Re: IFR Oakland PilotsNPaws with Levi (Full ATC)
Tosh, thanks for watching... and considering volunteering to transport our lovely canine companions.
I've transported many small puppies, and Russ/boatguy and I have each transported super young cleft-palate puppies (think cup-size) without issue. If I'm flying with my wife, we'll let some or all of the puppies roam in the aircraft... but usually I have the dogs crated to minimize distractions. It's rare if they are not asleep before runup complete.
All the best,
Wayne
