(Stumbled across this channel.) This is so therapeutic to watch. Being able to fly private jets and helicopters must be one of life’s dreams. Seriously impressive.👌
Now I am retired in my 60s I enjoy watching the clinical boredom of current day aviation. Back in the summer of 76 I worked for a helicopter company that did pleasure flights at country shows all over the UK. We had a couple of tired 206A Jetrangers that I flew in gaining logged P2 time. I 'survived' compressor failures, chip detector alerts, vibration warnings etc. As I watch this video on a modern jet that flies itself I smile and remember all the hours spent in 'dodgy helicopters' wondering if RUclips had been around back then how many subscribers I mights have got..... #goodolddays
I remember the Bell Jet Rangers when they were in use by Irish Helicopters (then owned by Aer Lingus) back in the late 70’s as they transported Saint Pope John Paul II around Ireland in September 1979 and during the 1980’s I got to fly in one during a local fair - I’m 52 now and living in the U.K. 21 years but I’ve always had an interest in aviation as my family in Ireland live very close to Dublin Airport - here in Manchester the arrivals fly over my house roughly following the M60 clockwise
Having watched all of your videos, Richard, I’m continually impressed by your professionalism, in addition to your cool, calm and collected demeanor when interacting with what always seems like an onslaught of ATC communications. I’m genuinely amazed by the consistent accuracy of your read backs - without writing anything down! Masterful, indeed! Thanks for bringing us all along on this flight. 🙌🏻
This Microsoft flight Simulator pilot very much enjoys replicating your flights! Being able to see the charts, instrumentation and hear ATC is such a thrill - I am so thankfull you document your flight plan! I am always so impressed with everyones professionalism in aviation 👍

Whenever you're having a bad day if ever, just remember you're literally living the dream! take care Richard safe travels!

So happy RUclips recommended your video to me today, I'm in Manchester but only ever seemed to come across US-based pilots on here, excited to go back through your previous videos! 👌
I love it in a movie when escaping the bad guy the pair jumps in a jet and shuts the door just as the bad gut pulls on to the tarmac, the jet starts taxiing ... and I'm like ,he didn't wait for oil pressure on one engine much less two, and he he'll have no nav sytem ,he didn't wait for.... my wife yells it's just a movie!...... bullets wouldn't just bounce off... just sayin.

Richard, I am using a Insta360 X3 for my cockpit plane videos and am having a major overheating issue with the camera. I can't record more than about a 30 minute video before it shuts down due to overheating. Can you tell me if you have any overheating issues with the GoPro Max? Thanks for any info.
Absolutely stunning aircraft and flight Richard. Do they have any plans to rectify the climb issue to prevent the over pitching moment and resultant oscillation? That seems a strange one to me and even potentially hazardous
Thanks, I'm so lucky to fly it! I don't think so, it has been a flaw in this jet since it first started flying, bit of a shame but there is a good work around 😁👍
Thanks so much Paul! My background is mainly helicopters. Started instructing, then flew offshore then corporate, and finally made the choice to fly aeroplanes as well! 😁👍
Afternoon Richard, You mentioned that you only use FLC initially for climb and then switch to VS as there is a problem with the aircraft. Is that regarding the specific aircraft youre flying or all Phenom 300s? Awesome video and look forward to seeing more of your stuff. Lee H
He Lee! FLC is best for the initial departure, however the algorithm on it is not great. You find it overcompensates to hunt for the speed and wallows around (even sometimes wanting to defend at the very high flight levels). So all Phenom pilots use VS straight away after. Not sure if this will change with the new Autothrottle that has just come out?
Not long been following you and i love your content. Can you tell me what kind of pilot license you need to fly a Phenom 300. Can you fly privately with a PPL or do you need a full ATPL?
what pilots licences do you hold and how did you fund your pilot training ? I want to start with my ppl, Im 22 and dont have the kind of money yet but i am really passionate about flying and want to start its just the cost barrier is holding me back.
To get an MEIR or an IR-H rating is challenging enough so pilots usually go down the rotary or fixed-wing route. Basically from your initial flight training you start down one path or the other. So start by getting you initial PPL in either a PPL-A or a PPL-H. There is a huge amount of study and flying time to get to flying jets inside controlled airspace. First step is usually going down your local flying club or getting onto a fully integrated or modular "zero to ATPL" course. Either way its 18 months and £100k+ of training and cost. If you want to do it and have the means the first step is usually get a medical to check you are medically fit to fly, and then research flying training either at your local airfield or a full course by an ATO.
David gave some sound advice below! I would love to say it's all well planned getting to do both, but realistically it's getting the basic licences and being at the right place at the right time to move forward! 😁👍
How do you understand what ATC is saying? It sounds like they are talking thru a cheap walkie-talkie lol. And the DataComm...Can you just use that for all ATC instructions in Europe and the UK?
With experience you have a idea of what they are going to say before they say it, so makes life a lot easier! For the Datalink, yes it's recommended and we use it a lot in Europe/UK. We have the version which can only be used in the air, so no pre-departure clearances etc! 😁👍
It's a fault with the aircraft. Intermittent which is a real pain to troubleshoot. Hopefully it will get fixed in this batch of maintenance. The aircraft is pretty smart as it will hide faults that are non relevant on the take off roll, hence while it failed at 1000ft 👍
Just found your channel. I'm curious. I am a retired airline pilot. I teach pilots to fly Cessna Citation X and Mustangs. I've never seen a time limit, 2 minutes, between engine starts. I've never flown an Embraer, but I've never heard or seen of such a thing. What's the reasoning? Thank you
Hi Michael! The 2nd Engine start is battery assisted, so the 2 minute wait give the main battery (No2) time to cool down. It's not a limit in the flight manual, but there was an FOL released saying it was best practice. I have flown Phenom's where other crews didn't abide by this and they can barely manage a start on a warm day! Hope that helps!
@richardtyrer interesting. The Mustang for example has an Amp maximum to do the cross gen, battery assisted start. But that takes just a few seconds for the amps to go below. Thanks for the info.
Yaw damper engages automatically with the Autopilot, but this aircraft has a nifty little ventral rudder which acts as a yaw damper below 210kts. Nice feature! 😎

At engine startup were you calling engine 1 engine 2? Is engine 1 not the left engine?
You're correct, engine 1 is the left engine. But we usually start engine 2 first in this aircraft for normal operations! 😎👍
Why do the small displays sometimes appear red then green full background? Is that intentional or an optical effect with the cams?
Yes, it's a camera side effect on this aircraft! It would drive me mad if it was like that for real! 😁👍

Can you tell me what kind of pilot license you need to fly a Phenom 300.
Can you fly privately with a PPL or do you need a full ATPL?
Very nice. Guess you don't hang around in Germany during maintenance for the return flight?
No! It's still in maintenance. If the workshop was in Barbados I might reconsider 😁
what pilots licences do you hold and how did you fund your pilot training ? I want to start with my ppl, Im 22 and dont have the kind of money yet but i am really passionate about flying and want to start its just the cost barrier is holding me back.
Absolutely amazing job you have, how would I go around getting something similar to what you do flying both helicopters and Aeroplanes
To get an MEIR or an IR-H rating is challenging enough so pilots usually go down the rotary or fixed-wing route. Basically from your initial flight training you start down one path or the other. So start by getting you initial PPL in either a PPL-A or a PPL-H. There is a huge amount of study and flying time to get to flying jets inside controlled airspace.

If you want to do it and have the means the first step is usually get a medical to check you are medically fit to fly, and then research flying training either at your local airfield or a full course by an ATO.

How do you understand what ATC is saying? It sounds like they are talking thru a cheap walkie-talkie lol.
And the DataComm...Can you just use that for all ATC instructions in Europe and the UK?
With experience you have a idea of what they are going to say before they say it, so makes life a lot easier!
For the Datalink, yes it's recommended and we use it a lot in Europe/UK. We have the version which can only be used in the air, so no pre-departure clearances etc! 😁👍

Why did you have TCAS fail at the begging? BTW: It is very fast plane for takeoff :D
It's a fault with the aircraft. Intermittent which is a real pain to troubleshoot. Hopefully it will get fixed in this batch of maintenance. The aircraft is pretty smart as it will hide faults that are non relevant on the take off roll, hence while it failed at 1000ft 👍
@@richardtyrer Can you normally use TCAS with all functionality even though it has “Fault” or it has some limitations currently?
If I may ask, where did you get your flight training done at?

Thanks 😁👍
What’s the law on mandatory use of oxygen at those flight levels? I always thought single crew above F400 needs to use oxygen.
I would probably forget to close the door before take off
I can't tell you how many times I check everything each flight 😬 The aircraft will tell you if something is not shut tho!
For first couple of seconds I thought it will be from USA to Germany 😂😂😂... my bad ! But good video anyway !
Ah...... would need one big tail wind to be able to do that!

This is just a guess but he's doing most of the turning and stuff with his feet right?
No, the feet are only controling the rudder (and breaks on ground). The Turns a made by the Autopilot.
Mr. Tyrer can fly a Zanussi if he wants to.
Is it possible to solo flight a 500?
Are you running Autothrottles
No yaw damper after takeoff?
Yaw damper engages automatically with the Autopilot, but this aircraft has a nifty little ventral rudder which acts as a yaw damper below 210kts. Nice feature! 😎

No unfortunately. They made noises about installing one but they are not going ahead with it. It’s not so bad without! 😀
