Thanks very much for the information here Jon, very essentials for us all.
The risk of inflight collision is a bit overhyped lately. Due to a few high profile USA accidents. Just look out and enjoy your flight and know that zero risk will never exist.
Thank you for this extensive approach to possible failure/accidents situations. I had SafeSky activated for a little while on my iPad but I found it for now too distracting due to showing planes at somewhat different locations and/or distances than in reality but especially still not being able to cover a high enough percentage of traffic to be significant enough. As you mention, we cannot afford to be (overly) focused on that one (or two) airplanes shown to be close while possibly missing the other one or two (~50%) closer by and /or on a more dangerous trajectory or altitude. We really need to get to a better coverage percentage by standardizing the ‘protocol’ (adsb?) and reducing prices for its devices!
Thanks Jon. Good points to note on the study here.
Don’t put Pilots BP up, they might be having a medical tomorrow!!! Excellent podcast.
Thank you Jon 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for the heads up on CAA price increases, something I would like to add, The LAA that administers the light end of Aviation has just increased charges by an average of 18% this sector by and large are older pilots flying simple aircraft !
Another excellent video and thank you for presenting this in such a concise way. Personally, I don't fly using a huge iPad. Each to their own, but it amazes me how I've been in for some criticism for not using a large device like an iPad. Interestingly though those same people tend to go quiet, after I explain how my good old paper chart doesn't have a habit of falling down and jamming the rudder pedals, or smacking me in the face mid-flight
as much as i love sky demon and the like, don't get me wrong its fantastic, i love it and would encourage EVERY ga pilot to have it (for terrain/ airspace avoidance etc....) my instructor told me look 90% out 10% in when it comes to your scan. imho that 10% in should include the tablet. in uncontrolled airspace it really is the wild west and as john said better than me your average pilot may have bits and bobs but not it all so don't forget your eyes are a MUCH better option than a tablet.
Thanks as always. LAA have just increased their prices. Gyro permit to fly up by 12.5%
Jon - Great video and content, I like to be positive and I like to support others who are also positive but sometimes its good to rant especially when pilots are not getting the service that regulatory body was set up to defend!. These bodies seem to be full of people who are great at spending other peoples money. It very easy to do this when you get a guaranteed pay-packet at the end of the month regardless of your performance. Perhaps this is good time to bring back this reminder as to what my fathers meaning was for the CAA -
[Campaign Against Aviation] - Keep up the good work Jon
Hi Jon, as usual very informative video, thank you.
The accidental operation of the pa28 undercarriage switch is interesting, my arrow has a ‘squat’ switch which prevents retraction of the legs once the weight of the aircraft is on the ground. As this incident occurred at about 30kt I assume it was on the runway. Why then did the inadvertent operation of the uc switch release the leg? Or is the squat switch no fitted to all Arrows?
The undercarriage should not retract when the aircraft weight is on it. I guess it could have been unloaded at fast taxi speed.
@@nomisnagol1423 it must be remembered that the squat switch requires the leg to be compressed to inhibit gear operation on a bumpy grass runway like stapleford the movment of the gear may well activate and de-activate the switch on many occasions. Add to this incorrect oil/ air quantity’s in the shock strut and the system is unreliable……… the message is keep the gear switch in the correct position.
CAA....the Campaign Against Aviation !!!!! That's why I got out and I miss it.I spent a great deal of money on a CPL/instructors rating/IR and enjoyed 8 years
of instructing and flying my own aircraft (Tiny Nipper) but riled at the fact the CAA employed two people just to tend to the plants in their HQ ..Fact. Resits for a couple of CPL exams I had to resit even in 1992 were eye bleedingly expensive ( I nearly gave up at that stage). The whole thing cost me north of £16000 and I never really had to use it in reality. the whole ting is aimed at the support of commercial (profit earning) operations. Thank god for the LAA who are fighting it at every angle. Any way ...end of rant.. Try to enjoy your flying ....whilst you can !!! .... (disgruntled of Salisbury)
Interesting
I still think ADSB should be mandatory for anything hard that is airborne, and that all conspicuity receivers should have at least adsb receive capability. I know there are some that hate such a mandate, worry about privacy or over regulation but if you can transmit adsb but a few hundred quid it seems almost madness not to. I know people killed in two separate midair collisions. Its indescrminate and see and avoid has been shown to be deficient and GA is forever squeezed into narrow pinch points we have to think again.
It's so easy to get preoccupied with traffic. Where was that plane again? Tower said it was there but I don't see it...WHERE?!
FWIW I fly with an iPad mini on a yoke mount.
It is of little surprise that a conspicuity device that is inside a metal box is unreliable, one would have thought that such a device fitted inside a wooden aircraft would have been better but the data gathered by a pilot of a Robin DR400 using a Pilot Aware showed poor signal response. His action in discovering this was to fit external antennas, this showed a huge increase in system performance. Add to this plot traffic displayed on a device well out of the normal scan and connected wirelessly and you have a recipe for distraction and unreliability.
I use a tablet leg strap and do passenger briefing
See and avoid has never been perfect as a collision avoidance system and never will be. Electronic conspicuity systems are a great add on but not more than that. Have to keep looking. When I am busy instructing it can be a challenge to keep your lookout going and I do catch my self spotting a traffic later than I would prefer. The most humbling I find seeing traffic on your device but finding yourself unable to see it for real…
But we are only human and have to be humble about it. And when you get older your eyes are naturally not as sharp anymore as when you are a young aspiring pilot.
That happens to me often. If the traffic is below the horizon against a backdrop of houses, it's very hard to see. If it's on a collision course, it's impossible to see because it remains fixed relative to you.
no doubt about we all can spend too much time looking at the various devices in our cockpit.
Why on earth are we paying for what we don’t use! These drone operators should pay for their own 😡🤬
I am all for head out of the cockpit. Is it possible for these devices to give aural warming’s through the headset with a direction and height of the close aircraft ???. 50 years ago at Biggin we had over 15 flying clubs and numerous private aircraft all buzzing around. I don’t remember there being that many mid air’s ? But, then most of us were navigating by looking out of the window. It is obviously the use of navigational pictorial avionics then the crutch of a warning device that is a real problem. But it is impossible to change as the benefits of precise navigation are hard to argue. Of course, I now use a SkyDemon on iPad like everyone else, but I know I need to look out more. I always ask passengers to be aware and point out other aircraft regardless of where they see it. Yes, it is often an Airbus at 30,000 ft but they are at least helping 😊
Yes. Pilotaware can give you voice warning such as traffic danger 3 oclock 100ft above, and not only thst but if your headphones are stereo can give you audio on from that direction. But if someone is flying along with only mode c or hasn't bothered turning it on then its bearingless so it will know you're close bit no idea what direction.
Great video John. But why are we paying for Drones?? Let them pay for them self.......
Hi, Very interesting video as always, although I am not a pilot (yet) I like to watch videos like these, If Amazon is worth Billions of Pounds/Dollars, why does the CAA expect the likes of Private pilots etc to pay for the (Future) cost of Drones & Taxis?
Great info all around. My iPad is panel mounted, and phone secured to the yoke but nothing for passengers. I’ll make it a priority to get an extra yoke mount, passengers drop their phone all the time.
As for detection, adsb in displaying on the iPad has saved me dozens of times with low clouds or smoke near SEA or PDX where the terrain funnels traffic closer together. I’ll add distance rings so I have a better idea of when I should try to spot traffic.
Future investment prep is the purpose of government subsidies, when it is lacking it is often with the intention of killing an industry… often the goal of the Amazon Economic Terrorism Division. They are pure evil.
The best way to go is solo crack on be safe fly safe
I often use an iPad attached to the windshield with a suction cup. One day, it fell off onto the yaw pedals - twice in two flights. I think I was lucky…and as for drones and price increases? THE DRONE OPERATORS CAN PAY!!!
I use a skyecho device and I think it should be mandatory for a plane to have ADSB out at a bare minimum. I Bluetooth my iPad which is mounted on the yoke to my headset and get alerts about Aircraft with an audible warning with direction and altitude. This saves me looking down at the iPad and keeps my eyes out the window. There should probably be a module of the PPL on the use of electronics such as tablets to avoid the head buried in the iPad problem. I believe with proper training and all planes being able to see eachother it would end up being much safer than what we currently have. As for the CAA, we'll it's just more of the same, we can't really do anything about price increases unfortunately.
While it may seem unfair for existing users to pay for the work the CAA is doing to prepare for future users, what is the alternative? There is no way for the CAA to get future users to pay when they aren't currently having any dealings with the CAA. It could be paid out of general taxation, but the CAA has no control over whether central government gives them money. Any ire over this should be aimed at central government, not the CAA.
As always, another useful set of insights.
My dad, back in the day, banned old school cameras from the cockpit - back then there were more leads, straps etc and several pilots and passengers had been killed because of camera straps etc, being caught in the flight controls.
The CAA? They're a "government owned corporation". Eg a dead entity (corpus-ration). If like 10 Downing Street, Magistrate's Courts, The Bar Guild, Local Councils, then they are, in effect, part of big business now (either through choice, or stealth; backdoor procurement, or outsourcing). Ergo their only interests rest anywhere but with the "customer" or "client". Shareholder capitalism blended with Neo Maoist stakeholder capitalism. Eg just recently I found out that my local council's - deserted - offices, are merely a postal address (a bit like a Ponzi Scheme one would see on "That's Life") and it's registered offices are "up north" now. We can thank the PLANdemic for a lot of legislation being rushed/pushed through whilst we were all otherwise distracted and/or ill. After all we had a political coup, ended up with a WEF PM who's family make profits from the war in the Middle East and a Chancellor who's wife works for the CCP and who's sister lives, in, iirc, China. I digress.
Before the PLANdemic I had an industry expert explain to me the levers of power over the CAA, by Eg BA. BA as we know is now owned by IAG a Anglo Spanish concern. As the UK is dismantled (has been since WWII) and more foreign ownership takes a hold we loose UK profits and control. I digress, again, BA apparently have - covert - levers of power over the CAA. Thus nothing surprises me these days.
It seems apparent that tptb don't like GA, probably don't even like aviation, unless it's their own private jets going to DAVOS or COP28, the skies being cleared for autonomous drones? A conspiracy theory too far? Maybe, but certain cities and large towns are having an awful lot of aerial surveys and mapping done, in the dead of night.
Another one of my local airports is under threat, "ripe for housing development". That'll be three-four that have gone or are heading that way in a short space of time.
If we snooze we loose!
Personally? We appear to be being boiled like frogs (slowly so that we don't notice until it's too late)🤔🤔
The CAA are a joke! I wouldn't mind the increases if things got done quickly and efficiently, but they don't! They do it because they can and they don't want GA aircraft to fly! That's why I am going to get my PPL and then do my hour building in the US! Half the price and better weather than the UK.
£490 for PilotAware, £650 for a SkyEcho and on average only a 48% chance of picking up another aircraft, that's ridiculous and very worrying.
There needs to be an enforced "Standard" where all electronic conspicuity devices must use the same software/hardware so they can all speak to eachother. This should then increase the safety from 48% to over 90% and also stop companies price battling.
Aviation is already expensive so it's no surprise not everyone wants to buy an electronic conspicuity device. I have 10+ years paramotoring experience and ive had a few close calls but if I was a licence holder and flew planes, would I buy an electronic conspicuity device? Definately not. I would wait until a product is released which has the capibility of picking up all, or most aircraft.
The military mostly have nothing and no one seems to be sorting that out given that they are the most prevalent class involved in mid air incidents
@@gwynsea8162 They have mostly nothing or they don’t always turn it on (wanting to be ‘stealth?)’!?
@@manuinsingerthere is no need for them to be operating in stealth mode whilst flying training sorties in the uk
That 48% is an average and includes people with no EC device, who obviously detect nothing. PilotAware would detect 64% on its own and up to 80% with the use of ground stations. SkyEcho2 would detect 70%.
@@thomasdalton1508 Personally I wouldn't want to spend the money they are asking for the coverage they are currently providing.
I still believe there needs to be a set "Standard" for this kind of product.
Pilots shouldn't be required to purchase and carry multiple devices to increase their safety. There should be an all-in-one solution.
Everything in aviation seems to point towards safety but I feel they are still lacking the safety needed with EC devices.
