As a private pilot myself, this video shows exactly what flying is about. Adventure, exploration, dealing with routes issues and most importantly breathtaking views. Thank you for making these videos as real as possible, they leave a greater impact than an over edited glorification of aviation.
+flyingmikey That's very kind of you. Thanks for watching.
While acquainting myself with the PA28-181, I have recently stumbled upon your Channel. I've been enjoying the channel a lot, in fact, I've found myself watching one of your videos every morning for the past week or so to help me wake up and start the day (I get up at 3:00 A.M. so I need all the help I can get!). As an American Pilot, I've found it interesting, the differences in the Ratings (Night Rating, Restricted Instrument Rating). I had to do a quick Google search to figure out the differences between Britain's ratings/qualifications with ours. On another note, I went up in the Archer yesterday for the first time and was very pleased with it, I expect to log more than a few hours this year in the PA28. Keep up the great work Jon, I look forward to your videos.
Thanks for tuning in Stephen. Glad you like the channel and are exploring the differences with European and UK flying. All the best. Jon
Such wonder and beauty aloft...........
indeed Mark.
Thanks Jon. Those breathtaking sunset shots are inspiring. 👋
Very enjoyable..... Thanks
Your video is excellent. I flew for 30 hours in Bournemouth last year, this video has reminded me the amazing flying experience there. Thank you.
+po fung Tang pleasure.
awesome videos mate, I'm doing my training on a piper and is nice to see how nice it is to cruise on a plane without the full stress of the lessons. greetings from Australia.!
+Romel Gutierrez thanks Romel.
Fantastic video, a level of airmanship to rival any pilot there :)
+Daniel Crookes that's kind Daniel.
Good morning.
Now that was a nice video to watch with my breakfast and coffee.
Calm evening flights are a surreal experience over the uk with slight mist, beautiful countryside and the brilliant colours. Really enjoyed this video.
+Anthony too right Antony. Thanks for watching.
May I just say, your videos are excellent, so much passion, useful info and a joy to watch. Thank you!
+Harry East thanks Harry. Very kind of you to say so.
Having recently discovered the channel - it's fantastic. If you fancy a flight in a Mooney at some point, I'm just at Cambridge so can pop down to Biggin Hill at some point!
+Neil McGovern thanks Neil.
I love the look of the runway with all the lights on, not something I've had the pleasure of before. I might have to look into doing a night rating when the club run the courses again next winter. There you go, one more inspired PPL :)
+Dave Lee thanks Dave. It's a nice view for sure.
Lovely video! Can't beat sunset flying, one of the mot beautiful things in my opinion
+CharlieClass156 thanks for watching.
Now that's a gorgeous video, really nicely put together and great music choices. Very jealous of that flight!
Thanks Nick.
excellent video and very informative, I'm just starting on my journey to my PPL and your videos provide no end of inspiration.
+Byron Martin cheers Byron.
Hi Jon, what an inspiring video. The quality and detail is really well balanced.
+Adrian Pearce thanks Adrian
Great video.
Thanks.
Another stunning video Jon! 245 hours! I have some catching up to do!
Thanks Tom.
Wonderful, thanks
Amazing flight, another brilliant video. I have a lesson booked at Popham on Sunday (about 20 hours into the NPPL) - although the met report isn't looking good. Bit plagued by weather in my choice of flying days recently - lovely to see someone's getting their feet off the ground!
Good luck with the training. The weather will open for you soon, I am sure.
Great video as always, very well put together and nicely narrated. Brings back memories of when I used to fly a PA28 around the south of England.
You should fly up and visit us at Durham Tees Valley ATC!
+Callum Presley thanks Callum.
Beautiful video. Loved the end. Happy Landing
+Frank South thanks Frank.
So loving your videos Jon. Currently doing my NPPL and your videos (whilst i know you state your not instructing) are a great help and an enjoy to watch. Making my way through your content nicely :-)
Glad to be of help! Thanks for watching.
It is refreshing to see a normal GA pilot doing normal things and making occasional errors and omissions at least as well as I do (!). I really admire how you so freely share the highs and some lows of your ventures, showing the realities of GA flying in the UK.However, I was somewhat surprised that you did not wear a life preserver for your flights over water to Bournemouth. As a sailor I can only say that an unexpected swim is unwelcome and shocking (in the physical sense). It seems to me that it would be hard enough to get out of a ditched aircraft without then having the struggle to stay afloat after the horrors of the event. I have recently chosen to wear a 180N automatic lifejacket when flying over or near water (I fly from a seaside airport) though I freely admit this safety move is recent having flown 11 years with only occasional use.......... I urge all GA pilots to consider this precaution - none of us knows whether or when.Keep up the good work, please!
Thanks Peter.
Nice videos, keep them coming. I am based at White Waltham hope to meet you one of these days.!
Thank you.
Just found your channel following a referral from AviationPro in the Netherlands and having watched a couple of videos so far, I must say that I was very impressed and felt as though I was actually in the cockpit with you!
I'm not a real world pilot, didn't have the money nor the brains ha ha, but I have spent many of my 'retirement' hours flying with the X-Plane 11 simulator, both GA and tube liners. Personally I still get a tad nervous about landing in a sim, so how I would be in a real aircraft is anyone's guess lol.
Keep the videos coming, for they surely are going to be an inspiration to all flight enthusiasts, no matter whether real or in the sim :-)
Well done :-)
Hi Jon
I'm currently doing my PPL in sunny South Africa and stumbled upon your channel. I'm loving your videos, they are very well produced!
Thanks Michael. Good luck with the training.
Just finished watching this video now. Your landing on 03 was perfect! I really like that camera angle where you can see your perspective and all the instruments on final :)
+Michael De Bruin thanks Michael.
Love watching your videos another great one ,,
Thanks William.
Very nice. I used to do EGTR-EGHH on a regular basis to visit friends. Routing around Heathrow & to finish coming in over the New Forest. In those days EGLC did not exist & I wish now that I had taken the route to Bournemouth & back that you did. I use X-Plane with SkyDemon to enjoy my sim flying these days. Looking forward to your next one.
+Michael Summers thanks. The route i took doesn't take much longer.
Very relaxing and David Clark headset
Just started my commercial flying training at bournemouth, such a busy airfield compared to my local one(Blackpool)
Very much enjoyed the video Jon. I think we were flying and filming at the same time but in different airspace. Great evening, wasn't it!
+Jodel Flyer it was lovely and calm. Thanks Tim.
Really enjoying your vids. Especially loved this and the one before at BOH Bournemouth as it's my local and I know it very well. Thank you for sharing you piloting skills and tips with us :-)
Thanks for watching.
I continue to search RUclips for GA videos and always come back to you! Beautifully crafted videos and such a down to earth and easy interaction with us behind the 4th wall. It also helps that many of your flights are out of Biggin and around the South East; exactly where my lessons will be and future flying too! :) I'd love to visit Redhill, you and Oscar Romeo one day! Also, it seems to me already that IR(R) is almost a requirement given our weather, would you agree? Do you put this to use more than your night rating?
Hi Scott. To answer your question, absolutely yes. I've rarely used the night rating, but Very regularly use the IR(r), either formally, or use the skill to supplement VFR flying in marginal conditions.
Thanks for the great video. I'm trying to find a day to fly again, but it's difficult with all the fog we've been having recently. Planning on doing a lap of the IOW from Shoreham in the near future.
+Martyn Wright it's a nice simple trip that one. ..pretty too.
Another cracking video, really enjoy these. :)
cheers Josh.
Fantastic as always! I'd love to see a short video on your cam/audio/editing setup
Thank you.
Just came across your channel, and I must say, amazing Video's man! Really nice quality. I've currently been studying my PPL for the past few Months, and these Video's highlight why I am pursuing my dream! Can't wait to catch up on your Uploads, and for many more to come in the future. Many thanks =]
Pleasure. Thanks for taking the time to comment. All the best with your PPL. It's worth the wait.
Another brilliant video, can really tell the effort you put in production wise. Fantastic. Again, if you ever fly the pond to jersey let me know. We are very lucky to be so close to be able to fly the D-day beaches and some amazing French coffee! I must start recording some flights too, had a brilliant flight to Swansea just last week. How do you record the audio?
+Ashley Johnson hi. Wilco. Sometime this year hopefully. The audio goes directly into the GoPro via an attenuator which brings the level down. There are several ways to do it.
Quite the bulgy runway on the return. Cool to see the end of runway lights disappear as you came close to touchdown.
+fish7days indeed. On take off roll, you can't really see what you have left.
Great video, very nicely shot, edited and real like the voice over explanations. Now subbed & off to watch some previous posts. If you ever head up to Denham would love to meet up. Used to fly PA-28 but now have share in 172P. I too find the Garmin very unintuitive compare to SkyDemon. Would like to get your views on your Pilotaware & SkyDemon interface, maybe a future video?
+BOLIPILOT1 thanks. Once I've sussed out the pilot aware I'll try and include it in future. J
Fantastic video and excellent quality. I grew up in Kent but now live in the USA and fly Cessnas for fun. Flying in the UK seems much more controlled than it is even in the busiest areas of the USA - is that the case? Are there any areas of the UK where are you can fly without talking to ATC? Also, what software are you using on the iPad? Thanks again!
+cousinscrowd hi, thanks. There's lots of class g airspace where you dont have to talk to anyone. I fly a lot in a 50 mile radius of London, which is very congested with low level class a, and a lot of class d, so we are encouraged to talk to a radar service a lot, because they are helpful at preventing controlled airspace infringements. A traffic service from them can be useful to, as a lot of GA around here is funnelled in a tight band of airspace. Our class D is very controlled, and they are no where near as relaxed about it here, as they are with you.
do you realise how lucky you are? I'd love to just hope in a plane and fly around a bit, of course it's not as easy as that but you make it look easy so may I ask how long/many hours you have been flying? I live not far from a small airfield called City Airport (formerly Barton) and watching these videos is certainly making me think about having a go. We'll try a tester flight I think!
+Chris Cole do it Chris. You won't look back. It's like driving a car really. I'm at about 245 hours now.
Loved the video! What did PPR1930 mean when you contacted Biggin Approach? :)
Thanks. Biggin Hill insists that pilots obtain PPR for both inbound and outbound flights, and may request you quote the PPR number they allocate you once you've been given your permission.
Nice video once again! Would you recommend Biggin for visitors?
It's not bad. You have to obtain PPR online, but easy to register. There's public transport into London, a cafe on site. A nice big runway with good facilities and ATC.
Thanks for the quick reply!
BTW, you don't need to register to obtain PPR. If you read EGKB AD 2.20 1 (e) it states that filing a flight plan (VFR or IFR) complies with the requirement of obtaining a PPR.
Great stuff as ever. "Basic service report 3 miles join left hand base 21 dead side squark xxx qfe yyy - help! Can you retain all this because I struggle to read back - presumably you note all this or does memory improve with time?
I do write it down in shorthand. I know the airfield, so you get to know what to expect. I found it impossibly difficult at first, but gradually it comes to you. I think for non based aircraft, they'll probably break it up, or slow it down a bit.
Yes i'm one of those inspired by your videos and will be getting back to flying asap. One question though, do you take all of the power off when you land during the day when not landing on grass i.e concreate runways, I alwasys found it better to keep some power on?
+David Cornwell I normally take it all off. Sometimes needs a trickle of power. Depends on conditions.
Just wondering if you can request to pass through controlled airspace in UK?
+dave Ford yes we are, but they can be a bit fussy about it here.
+dave Ford in fact, bournemouth is in controlled airspace! So this flight begins in class Delta.
Are you training for your night rating?
I have the night rating. Just haven't used it for a while.
Hi, What is the song at the start of the video please?
Hi. The title music is called "The Only Girl" by silent partner, available on the RUclips Audio Library. The first track after that is called "Without Limit" by Bob Bradley / Matt Sanchez / Matt Parker from The Audio Network. I list my music tracks in the description of the videos. J
Thank you. Sorry, didn't think to look in the description.
Have you considered becoming an instructor?
Yes, but I don't currently have the capacity to learn for a commercial license.
Great video once again! You mention you are getting to grips to 430. Yes the GNS430 certainly takes some getting used to. I expect you are already aware but have you seen this video. I have watched it lots of times to really get familiar. Its the non waas, but they are almost exactly the same. ruclips.net/video/zofn3skychQ/видео.html. Its given by a Garmin instructor. You can also download the GNS430 PC simulator for free from Garmin which is very good for practice.
Thanks. Yeah, I've played with the simulator, and watched lots of videos about it. It's just getting used to it. I keep pressing the wrong buttons! Or the right buttons in the wrong order!
If your going from B'mouth back to Biggin Hill I don't think you are chasing the sunset. Look behind you.…….
