Another good video Danny. A very good example of making non required informational radio calls and like you said in the video, very much appreciated by the radio controllers and others in the sky.
Fantastic video, which is before long going to be very expensive for me as your videos are the reason I'll be getting back in the air at Sherburn-in-Elmet! Quick question - is it normal to remain on QNH when in the circuit? Haven't flown for many years but I seem to remember being told to always use QFE.
Well I'm glad I've inspired you to take to the air again! What price is joy? QFE can be set when the airfield is in sight, and it's a very easy and obvious setting to read height above airfield. If I had two altimeters I'd set QNH on one and QFE on the second, but currently only having one I decided to remain on QNH, which is sometimes preferred for an IMC flight, as once in the go around from an instrument approach you have to be on QNH. It's fun to do the mental maths!
Hi Dan, that's a lovely 182 you have there and a nice video thanks. I like your use of graphics on the screen to illustrate the narrative. I can tell you're an instrument pilot, preferring to stay on QNH in the circuit, me too! Tell me, after leaning out there to lean of peak, what TAS do you achieve for your 38 l/hr? Keep up the good work, looking forward to the next one. As a fellow owner, would love to see more content on the joys (or otherwise) of ownership. 👏
Thanks Rupert. Leaned out to 38 l/hr I get around 127kt as a TAS. It's approx. 3 knots lower than the rich of peak speed. A very acceptable drop for the fuel saving and very kind to the engine too. I have done a complete video about leaning, maybe take a look at that. I'll take your suggestion and do a video on the joys of plane ownership (😳) soon. Regards.
@@ginclearaviation I’m in the lean of peak cruising camp too, as you say kinder on the engine and at today’s avgas prices I can happily live with the small drop in TAS.
I think calling Turweston was unnecessary as you could have easily climbed to at least 3500ft way above the airfield with a traffic service from Brize - Turweston aren’t going to give you traffic for Finmere which is very close to Turweston, I would rather be high than low if you have an emergency
Hi TelecomsHelper, that would be good too. In my opinion VFR flight planning in the UK is as much an art as a science. There are many options to consider and airspace to navigate with multiple options of who to talk to, if at all! This is what makes VFR flying in the UK such fun and so rewarding. And that's before taking into account the weather, which can differ from forecast to actual quite significantly. There are so many ways of getting from A to B. I absolutely agree that being high rather than low is preferable. Cheers, Dan.

Thank you again Dan for a really good "learning" flight. Much appreciated. Ray
Thanks Ray. Glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Very interesting and nicely narrated. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks Allan, much appreciated.
Love the style of video with explanations . Even as a qualified pilot (only 2 months) it’s good to hear the reasoning.
Thanks Danny. Glad you are enjoying the channel and congratulations on passing your PPL. A world of fun and possibilities awaits you.
Ive just come across your channel, Dan. Great content with clear audio & commentary 👌
Hi Andy, welcome aboard! If you can 'Like' and 'Subscribe' it would really help me build my channel! Thanks so much. Regards, Dan.

Danny, popped info on email as discussed. Thanks.
Thanks Allan.
