Been binging your videos and latest ones encompass the Iceland trip. As an Icelandic expat I love hearing the Icelandic (ÍslEnska, or IceEnglish) accents, giving me a nostalgic pang. Cheers from Montreal.
While I was stationed in Keflavik back in 1969, I rented a plane and flew from Keflavik to the Vestmannaejar Islands (I am a pilot) . Also, flew around Surtsey and took photos... After I landed at Vestmannaejar, there was a bunch of cars that drove up to the airport .. it looked like a parade, and offer me a ride to the city.... It was an awesome trip.... had lots of fun... I did lots of flying around Iceland while stationed there... I wish I could go back and visit Iceland again, However at my advanced age now, it would be impossible for me to do that... I have wonderful memories of Iceland while I was there.
Vestmannaejar was one of the most special places I have ever visited! Everyone was so friendly and I got many offers to tour the island. Unfortunately I was on a tight time frame so I didn't have time. It is definitely on my list to go and visit for longer! I have a real soft spot for Iceland! I bet you had some amazing memories and stories from your time when you were there!
Another great flight with a stunning Icelandic scenery. An excellent video from Mr Tyrer and thanks for sharing. Yeah Iceland is something else. I love that very “relaxed attitude” with those local ATC controllers. I guess you’re next headed to Egilsstadir (EGS) witch is one of very few airports of entry in Iceland before heading south towards England, maybe a stop at the Faro Island’s? I had the pleasure to fly a DA40 from RVK to EGS low level a few years back crossing on the north side of the great glacier. This scenery you’ll never forget. Looking forward for the next leg on this epic tour. Thanks for let me tag along.
Glad you liked the approach to my Island, Hope you had a good time there :D for ease of naming we usually refer to the place as the Vestman Islands for foreign people as Icelandic just sounds rubbish for many haha.
It's such an amazing place Elvar! Haha I had some serious trouble pronouncing the names of places in Iceland.... I am sure it made the locals laugh! 😂 It was only a short visit, but I must come back for longer when I get the chance! 😁
I flew to Iceland on a 757-200 (as a passenger, I can't fly any aircraft), and spent some time in the Blue Lagoon on a layover back in 2012. Iceland is such a nice place. :)
Thanks so much! When I used to instruct I taught some students who were well into their 60's with no issues! Go for it, you get loads of opportunities and opens a whole new community! 😁👍
Wow this place reminds me of a lot of things in the old days a regular airport he’s go flying with my friends in the old days same location you went to Westman islands yes on the island you got a watch out for a lot of wins there yeah I have some scary close calls that are ones I love your videos man take care
Beautiful, just done the same flight on Msfs and although not quite the same as what you’re doing it’s the closest I’ll get 😂 ✈️.. thanks for sharing these love to watch 😃
The DA42 is my favorite plane of all time simply because of that amazing few out the front. The 62 has 2 giant pillars breaking up the view from the front and the DA20 just isn’t as big/grand and has the prop dead ahead. Something about the view out of the 42 is just incredible. And I know out of all things this is a ridiculous thing to base my opinion of an airplane but I saw a video of a DA42 cloud surfing and that view just stuck in my head forever. Would love to fly and/or own one one day
Nice video, I am really enjoying the series and love the longer connected trips with updates along the way although I do somewhat long for a more netflix style whee you release them all at once so I can binge watch! Thanks fo the great content.
Are you doing any more videos around Iceland? I went there a few years ago and I have been fascinated with the place ever since. Would be great to see other videos there.
Hi Tom, Yes there are two more videos in this series to come out. Unfortunately the weather was a little bit grim when I was up there, so not the stunning VFR flights I was hoping to get, but even the way they do IFR is really interesting! Cheers 😁👍
Hi SV! I did notice that when I downloaded all the footage. It's a fine balance of the camera audio setting and also the aircraft intercom/radio settings. I used a slightly different set up for this trip and without time to test it properly I only found out when I came back home...... but anyway I know what to adjust now so hopefully it will be better next time! 😁👍
Thanks so much! Favourite aeroplane I have flow.... must be the Extra 300. You get total freedom in the skies! Money no object. Phenom 300! Best performing light jet!
@@richardtyrer What is your favorite piston twin? While I don't own any (or fly/need any aircraft for that matter), mine would probably be the Piper PA-31P, or the Cessna 414/421. For a larger plane, the Piper Aerostar 700P sounds pretty neat. :) I do like your Diamond DA42, but I would not like to have an O2 supply stuck up my nose. Lol... Edit: BTW, you are cruising at a low altitude, may I ask why? I am guessing, cos your flight is a short distance, so the energy to climb to 15k feet is probably more so than the energy consumed due to aerodynamic drag at lower altitudes.
Just forgot to put below ..... Here on RUclips there is a site called Premier Driver 1, he has a Beechcraft Jet. In his old postings there are/were a sequence of videos of his ferrying his purchase back from Germany to Indianapolis. Even being a jet he chose the usual routing. The one that amazed me was a landing in Greenland which even in VMC looked daunting.I thought you might like it also
Another great video, thanks for taking the time to edit, answer, etc. Watching that approach I looked into the minimum landing runway for a DA42. Diamond states “minimum landing ground roll 340m😳?! So, what’s your the shortest runway you would/have consider landing/ed on? cheers!
Thanks Andres! The 340m is really for sales, and that would be from touchdown not allowing for the final round off of the landing. Realistically I won't touch anywhere less than 600m with a clear approach. There is some good data in section 5 of the flight manual which can be found online!
Very informative video.I was in Iceland once in 1965 coming from NY on a PAN AM Boeing 707. I would love to know Richard where your aircraft was manufactured and how it has US Reg . Might a good description for it be a'' light twin''?
You shold reaaly come to Faroe Islands. Approach is very pretty. If you come in from the east, it's usually reaaly nice and quiet. West approach can sometime be turbulent.
Another awesome video Richard. Looking at doing Iceland next July on way to Oshkosh. Can I ask, what editing software do you use with your GoPro Max footage. The standard GoPro player doesn't seem great.
Hi David! Thanks so much! I would love to do Oshkosh at some point, 100% an aviators bucket list. I use Final Cut Pro for editing the Max footage. It works pretty well once you get the hang of it 😁👍
Awesome to hear Carlos! I use a GoPro Max for the 360 camera, and Final Cut Pro for editing (the program is a little complicated but you learn after a few video's!). I'm actually making a video on how I do it shortly! 😁👍
@@richardtyrer thats awesome! Although my plane is not like yours its a 172 but damn i love this thing and we need more footage to show everyone how cool it is what we do! Be safe and thank you!!!!
Damn I love this video, I would love to persue a future in aviation like you, im currently 17 and I have an idea on how to get a license and everything but I would like to ask you how do you sustain a life like this? like how are you able to fly around while affording everything, do you have a part time job?
Hi Richard. This video came across my feed as I am doing a Flight Simulator video on Iceland. Just curious how long the GoPro batteries last on the external camera? At those temps I am lucky to get 30-40 minutes when flying here in Canada. Great editing as usual. Cheers and blue skies!
Hi Adam! It's a clarity aloft headset. I used it originally fore aerobatics but found it was much better than other headsets in standard GA flying. I would really recommend! 😁👍
@@richardtyrer Good to know it works in the DA42! DA42 cockpit is a bit loud. I was considering a Telex 850 for the remainder of my training in the DA42 but was advised the active noise reduction would not be enough. Thanks for another great video, Richard!
Thanks Ric! It is registered in the USA. I am planning a world trip next year in it, and there are many advantages flying a US registered aircraft around the world compared to the G reg! 😁👍
An hour stop is way to little for Vestmannaeyjar. You should have checked the swimming pool there. It has a slide that turns into a trampoline. And there is a restaurant that serves lobster burgers.
That would have been amazing! My time in Iceland was way too short! I wish I would have explored it a bt more and found some of the stuff you suggested! Maybe next time! 😁👍
I was planning to go to the Northern airports (BIGR was a big one on the list), but unfortunately the weather really closed in over the time I was there...... Maybe next time!
G'day Richard. My name is Jason Tyrer (yes I use a different name on youtube) I am an Ex-military rotary wing pilot and current fixed wing flight instructor based inAustralia.. Thought i would drop you a line and say G'day...

Stunning approach.
Probably my favourite approach I have done in an aeroplane so far! I knew it was going to be stunning but it even caught me by surprise! 😁
Amazing island....what a stunning Landscaping...💯👌🏻
It was my favourite landing I have ever done! Wish I had more time to explore!
I like the landing you made you just greased it textbook landing👍👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Haha thanks! Honestly the aircraft has a really good trailing link undercarriage, which can make even some of my dodgy landing look good! 😂
Nice one!!!! 👍
Thanks Richard! 😁👍
Again, a vid I love to watch! Great plane too!
Thanks so much Ed! 😁👍
Thanks, it was so realistic as if I was there. Except that it is warmer in my room :)
Those clouds looked like heaven, thanks for taking us with you around the world

Dope video dude. Love from Iceland
Thanks so much! Iceland is amazing, I need to go back and explore it more! 😁
Really enjoyed the video Richard. I love both Iceland and flying. Couldn't get better
Thanks so much Cyril! I really enjoyed the place too! Few more videos from Iceland to come! 😁👍

Another great video Richard! Loving this mini series! Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much Mark! 😁👍
absolutely stunning! i need to remember this airport
Mate, you are actually really good at this. I've seen loads of videos but yours really come up top!! Keep it up!! Liked and subscribed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing camera work and commentary on a beautiful flight. Thank you for sharing Richard. 👍
Thanks DT! You're welcome, a few more to come out shortly! 😁👍
GREAT, GREAT video as always !! Thanks for sharing !! Keep up the good work !! 👏👏👏
Thanks so much Carlos! 😁👍
Wow...fantastic location, is very very magic for me. Relaxation. Good video.

Stunning, fantastic video as always!!!!
Thanks so much again Matt! 😁👍
Stunning scenery and great video. Another one for the bucket list - thank you!
It was a massive bucket list tick for me! Thanks Greg! 😁👍
Amazing flight mate, looks like great fun, looking forward to seeing more.
As always thanks Joe! Cheers 😄👍
Amazing as always. Need to try this route in MSFS. Thanks!
Thanks so much! Hopefully MSFS have this modelled well. You will like the next leg, that is a challenging one to fly!
I'd been eagerly awaiting the next part!!!
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it, a few more to come!
Great video. Many thanks
Thanks so much Jason! 😁👍
Good fun hop. Nice little aircraft.
Outstanding Richard, nice work 👍
Thanks TH! Few more videos to come out, hope you enjoy them as well!
great videos keep going
Thanks so much Mark! 😁👍
28:14 Almost expected someone wearing a trenchcoat and carrying an attaché case to come out of that car and walk towards you! 😄
I had to laugh at that one. :) I would think the same, cos the DA42 is hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy new, I believe.
Another amazing video Richard. So lucky!
Thanks so much Grant! 😄👍
Nice flight dude. I'm a bit on the older side regarding age... But watching this makes me consider going for my pilots license.
Thanks so much! When I used to instruct I taught some students who were well into their 60's with no issues! Go for it, you get loads of opportunities and opens a whole new community! 😁👍
@@richardtyrer Thanks for the encouragement sir.
Saludos desde Escobedo Nuevo León
Great flight, But 6 degrees is warm to me haha I was flying last night and it was -28 now that's cold! haha Alberta Canada
Haha now that is cold! Bet it's a big challenge flying in those temperatures! 😁👍
Wow this place reminds me of a lot of things in the old days a regular airport he’s go flying with my friends in the old days same location you went to Westman islands yes on the island you got a watch out for a lot of wins there yeah I have some scary close calls that are ones I love your videos man take care
Thanks for the video. Hope you went and took some photos of all the trees.😛
Great video, I love Iceland and been there many times. A bit far unfortunately for my Alpi pioneer 300 I think to reach.
Hi
Wonderful video
Thanks ;)
Thank you so much! Cheers 😁👍
Beautiful, just done the same flight on Msfs and although not quite the same as what you’re doing it’s the closest I’ll get 😂 ✈️.. thanks for sharing these love to watch 😃

New to channel. What kind of aircraft do yo own/ lease/use. Allen
Thanks Allen, the DA42 is my aircraft which I own. I purchased it late 2020 😁👍
Great video as always thank you. Just one comment, when you are chatting to “us” the volume is very low. When you and ATC talk volume is excellent.
Hi SV! I did notice that when I downloaded all the footage. It's a fine balance of the camera audio setting and also the aircraft intercom/radio settings. I used a slightly different set up for this trip and without time to test it properly I only found out when I came back home...... but anyway I know what to adjust now so hopefully it will be better next time! 😁👍

Do you fly for a living? :)
You shold reaaly come to Faroe Islands. Approach is very pretty. If you come in from the east, it's usually reaaly nice and quiet. West approach can sometime be turbulent.
Beautiful! So, somewhat new here, but can you tell me, do you fly professionally, or is this beauty of a plane all yours?
Hey Zachary! Yes I do fly professionally, but I am lucky enough to own this aircraft! 😄

Dear Richard, which mount do you use for the ipad mini? Kind regards
Hi Sommer! I use the factory sitter ball mount with a standard Ram mount iPad mini holder. To be fair a suction cup can do an equal job!
@@richardtyrer thank you
Enjoy your videos! Is your plane registered in the USA? "N"42LR with the "N is typically USA. Just curious,

Hi Joel! Yes I do have a CPL! 😁
How does this young man afford an aircraft like this?
Do you work for a company that you get to fly the DA42 or do you own the plane? Nice flight!
Thanks! Fortunately this is my own aircraft, I bought it with the purpose of a world flight, hopefully at some point this year! 😁👍
ahhh be grateful i cant own a sam system bro, be very glad lul id have such fun
Is there more than 4 people you spoke to on that island? lol
If you want to experience something else, go to BIIS next time you are in Iceland(if you haven't already)
I was planning to go to the Northern airports (BIGR was a big one on the list), but unfortunately the weather really closed in over the time I was there...... Maybe next time!

it feels quite weird seeing your own house in some random RUclips video
Why is the atc communication so difficult to understand
Haha honestly I have trouble as well sometimes! They are great but every country has different procedures, and sometimes I struggle with the accents
