Flying With Matt
United Kingdom

Hi and welcome to my channel. I’m a private pilot currently based at Barton Aerodrome, Manchester. I fly the Eurostar.
I started my training for the NPPL licence in 2019 with Breeze Aviation at Sherburn Aero Club in North Yorkshire. I’ve tried to upload videos showing my learning journey and from now, my adventures as a qualified pilot.

Why reduce power below 600 feet? Most would climb out at max power to pattern altitude to gain as much altitude as quickly as possible.
@@gawebm Just don’t feel the need to stress the engine when climbing out at slightly reduced power still achieves 80mph on climb out.
Good to see you back up in the air dude. I had interference on radio videoing in the past and it turned out it was the battery pack i plugged the gopro into. It wasn't even connected into the aircraft but still caused interference. I had to stop using it and get a different one.
@@The_Flying_Pig Thanks mate. I think the issue was I was leaving the range of full sutton’s radio. When I turned it down it went away luckily.
gday i fly a similar aircraft (Harmony) in Australia. nice flight. do you apply carby heat with reduced rpm especially doing stalls or other manoeuvres? cheers
@@alianjohnson6035 Hi, thanks for watching. No the Eurostar has an inbuilt carb heat. Hot air from the engine is directed to the carb
Great to hear your voice again Looking very confident Did you get up with an instructor first ?
@@ianchick297 Thank you! I had a few circuits with an instructor and the trustee of the syndicate just to make sure I was up to speed. It all came back really fast.
Hope to catch up sometime somewhere im struggling with lessons being cancelled at the moment
@@ianchick297 Where are you learning?
@@flyingwithmatt1986 Rossall wonderful place with great instructors
XM Eurofox just stunning to fly
Hi Matt. Good to see you back up in the air. I see you have moved to Full Sutton. I flew a C42 out of Rufforth for a while before getting an RV9-a and moving to Leeds East. Fadmoor is a nice airfield but would defo leave it for a while until you have a few more fresh hours under your belt. I’ve also posted a few videos on UA-cam called Flying Vans. flyingvans-e2u. Look forward to watching your next video. Mike.
@@FlyingVans-e2u Thanks Mike, good advice. I’ll check out your channel 😎
I was only watching your old videos yesterday wondering if you were still flying. It's so goo to see you back up in the air flying Matt. I do love the smooth air this time of the year. This Summer was a windy and bumpy one for flying but great vis.
@@rogerclarke3291 Many thanks Roger, it’s great to be back. Flying the Eurostar in the high summer isn’t pleasurable anyway so I’m looking forward to some nice smooth sunny winter flying 😎
are you gonna make more flying videos? i really enjoy them.
@@johnsmit4124 Hi, yes my next video is in progress 👍
Yo Matt, its goals flying around in that kite 🤝🏽 but seeing harriet alongside for the ride now thats true goals🏆🏆
Great videos. Have my PPL(H). Not flown for a few months, contemplating having a go at fixed wing, that looks a great aircraft.
@@chimparse go for it. Cheap to learn in and cheap to fly (15 litres of super unleaded per hour).
Sei molto sveglio a tirare quelle sgasate a motore freddo 😂
That fits the VMC definition in UK? Thanks for sharing but, I’ll do that flight in those conditions only under an IFR flight plan. I suggest caution…
@@loveplanes Yep! 5km viz and clear of cloud. That’s under 3000 feet. Anything above that and it changes.
@@flyingwithmatt1986 well, in the US that is at least on the edge of IFR due to vis. Beyond the legal aspects of flying in UK that I don’t know,, or a bit due to an explanation of Terry from short field, and taking in consideration that the whole time you were below 2k, flying a VFR aircraft, with new family coming, with pax and flying in a weather that apparently can change rapidly, no idea if you are IFR rated and knowing that VFR in to IMC is a bit risky, in my humble opinion, this this flying could be on the risky side.
Moved to Barton recently from another airfield and I've yet to experience all this...
@@squidiebah It’s absolutely fine, go for it 😎
Really interesting to watch. I can completely relate. Just like my first solo. Nervewrecking... 😂
Nice to see I was not alone in my struggles. 😂
Are you able to do any filming whilst up in the air using gopro etc?? Ive got a flight booked in October.
@@steveclem If I’m being honest I didn’t ask!! You’ll love it though, it was amazing to be in open cockpit.
Does this have a ppf on it?
Two good mates loving life. Great to see . I live in Scarborough and know eddsfield well passing it regularly. Great video . Thanks for sharing.
@@scarboroughrider Thanks, he certainly the day.
Do you need a pilot licence to fly one of these
@@vlofvl Hi, yes you do. Either a PPL or a NPPL. These fall into the microlight category as they are under 600kg in weight.
@@flyingwithmatt1986 Thank You
What an adorably cute uninterested passenger.
Fantastic stuff, this channel has to be my new fav place to come to for that light aircraft flying around vids fix.
@@milesy35 Thanks for saying, that’s really kind.
Thank you for coming to Sturgate, eugene.
Thats an old school instructor
Lovely video 😀 this one was taken from Husbands Bosworth : ua-cam.com/video/7kaniOSjG8E/v-deo.html
Good little Video Matt. Interesting watch. I recently purchased a Sting S4. It also flies different to my old Eurostar.
Thanks Roger. Jealous of your new aircraft!
8 months! Where's the new video? We've been waiting ages!!! 😄
Thanks for noticing!!!! I’ve not flown since this flight, winter has been long and wet and I’ve been doing my motorbike licence. I’m aiming to get back in the air this summer 👍
Top vid
Thanks!!!
I'm about to start my NPPL training and find your videos very useful. Nice genuine couple too!
Thanks for that, good luck with your flying 😎
Hi Matthew I would be a great passenger..when can you squeeze us in :)
The insects were loud...crazy fun
Die Überblendung mit den alten Fotos find ich gut 👍
recommend you to get a co monitor as those sticker indicators are unreliable and only discolor at very high co levels
You flew over my house. I'm planning on starting my ppl M training later on this year.
Good luck Simon, you’ll love it 😎
@flyingwithmatt112 Thank you. I started my ppl A years ago, didn't finish it.
@@SimonAmazingClarke You’ll find two seaters a lot cheaper to fly that’s for sure. And more fun too.
Hi Matt, well a year on and I’m guessing you have got comfortable with the Skyranger, they also side slip really well with that boxy shape btw. I installed a rudder bias on mine which helps in various configurations, whether two up or taking off etc. IMHO the 100 hp is the way to go, the climb out is it’s party trick.
Hi there! Actually, I never really clicked that well with the SKR.... I moved back to Manchester Barton and the Eurostar this summer. At the moment Im taking a break from flying until I find the right aircraft in the right place.
I think i have seen you on Friday i was doing low level route on that day. I hope you enjoyed the touch and goes if you were flying the aircraft.
I came from a Cessna 172 to an X-Air 582. I only learnt how to use the rudder in the X-Air. Made a huge difference. When I started on the Skyranger it was a much easier transiton, only becuase of the rudder work I learnt in the X-Air. Great video Matt! We all learn from these.
Crosswind take off -> stick into the wind.. same with landings...
I enjoyed that..Beautiful aircraft and you would definitely make a great flying instructor..
Many thanks!
Lovely aircraft. Just subscribed to give you 1k well done!
Many thanks 🎉
Love it
Loved this video! Great aeronautical decision making. And your daughters it’s so cute. What a trooper.
Thank you 😎
Some great decision making there. I was trying to work out where you were flying from. I was stationed at both Church Fenton, Leeds East Airport and Finningley, Doncaster Airport. When I was in the RAF.
Hi Simon, I was flying from Sherburn at the time, next door to Church Fenton as you will know 👍
Living the Dream Matt.. Thank you.
Another great highly watchable video from You and Sarah... I love seeing these small UK airfields.. I fly flight sim and its nice sometimes to copy a flight like this.. Perhaps in the future (You may have done this on future videos I have not seen yet) to do a flight plan /Map, just a suggestion.. Wish my wife was interested in flying like Sarah, she is scared of flying so I have just to stick to RC Helicopters/fixed wing and the sim.. Thanks again Matt
Thanks again, yes I’ll try put a sky demon flight plan on the video next time. Sarah tends to just go along with whatever I’m into at the time 😂
Look fwd to more of your videos to watch... Excellent... Just found you site today.
Very kind.
Nice video very enjoyable to watch
Thank you very much
IFR navigation? I Follow Roads. 😁 It's amazing how quickly power for altitude, attitude for speed ceases to seem counter intuitive.
Bloody hell she is switched on!!! Great video Matt!
Too switched on Mark 😂
Great Video Matt, Good decision making there. David G BV
Thanks David
This was interesting to see. I saw your trail and divert on FR24 and wondered what had happened. Good to see you were able to navigate the weather safely and get back home 🙂
Thanks Karl
Well that was lovely on the way there then certainly looked a bit tricky on the way back! Well done for getting back safely - it’s all about the end result!
Bang on mate. Glad to be back on the ground at Barton that day for sure.
