After the flapless landing during the touch&go why did you also take-off flapless ? For training purposes ? We too practice flapless circuit at my flight school but only for landing not for t-o
In the Diamond DA42, you are able to take off without flaps and that is standard. You only use the flaps during take off if it's a short field take off
I used to know an old family friend back home in Ireland who was a Missionary Sister on the African Missions who used to fly her own plane in the African Bush - they used to call her the Flying Nun and by all accounts she had excellent piloting skills - I’ve known of some Priests who were also pilots as well, a bit like the Flying Doctors in Australia
Actually if you are in the air, you cannot get the ATIS as it’s for ground only, so you must request the airfield weather and information. Hope that helps 👍🏼
@@PilotOli things might have changed in the past 18 months but when I was operating out of there we could get ATIS in the air for a recovery back to the airfield, you’d report overhead one of the VRPs with the information code to be cleared into the zone
Might have changed then. But if you look on the NATS AIP and look at Cranfield, you’ll see that the ATIS frequency says DOC 2NM/GND. So basically it’s ground only. I can’t remember why but I believe there is an airfield close by with the same freq so it interferes? But not 100%
Nice one mate, good luck with the CPL!

@@PilotOli OK thanks for the answer, you improved my knowledge 😄

Cranfeild definitely does have an ATIS

for general emergencies, not sure if its the same, but you would squawk 7700 in the states, is that something you would also do in UK?
