13:14 G-MK You're about to enter a non active taxiway, the bit with the big X on it. Oh, and Birmingham ATC watch supervisor would like a call from you too. 😬
Wellesbourne is my home airfield, and taking off 18 means you pass over a ridge line at the edge of the airfield so that might explain some of the departure buffet. I have been on finals for 36 and the wind coming down the runway was so fierce when it hit the ridge that it required significant forward yoke (C172N) to maintain the slope. Did a Go-Around and luckily it was a bit calmer the second time.
Great video again, thanks Ben - been interesting to see you flying the Cirrus, it's an amazing aircraft - but it's nice to see you back in the PA28 - no keyboards!!
Another good one Ben. I was always told that being sent to Coventry meant that no-one would talk to you! Agree that it seemed strange to ask what was your preferred service only to be told that it would only be a Basic Service!
Another fantastic video Ben. Had to laugh at you asking if there was circuit traffic and getting "affirm" - ok, what and where would have been nice....G-OJ backtracking zero nine.."roger" - ok where would you like me to go..roughly..

Late to the party but thankyou Ben. FRTOL soon so I'm grateful for your RT 🙂
Love these uncut flight videos. Good job. “You can have any service you like as long as it’s a basic service” 😂

Still trying to find out if it was G-MK from LAC
Enjoyed that Ben.
Thank you for your continued reports.

Nice video! Some busy frequencies enroute and a smooth landing
Cheers Charlie!

Haha it did make me think a bit!
Love the videos Ben
What flight navigation app do you use?
Markus Witcomb he’s using “sky demon”
Good video pal
can anyone explain what was said at 25:51 "G-OJ visual with Nottingham request (sounds like QFI) if able"
