  • Whats Murphys Law? If something can go wrong it will?
    I was fresh from getting my PPL and thought awesome I'll take my friend (An aspiring Pilot) for a fly down the Shellharbour and back so he can see what it's all about.
    You will see in the video I was flying a new aircraft I hadn't flown before, we took off and got about 30 minutes into the flight before I had to go into emergency mode.
    I flew the plane back to Bankstown with no electronics and no Radio, watch the video to see what happened ... and yes it was my fault...

    I know this is an older video, but applies to all us (student) pilots even today. A great help and reference. Thanks for sharing -- sometimes we learn after the fact.

    Good on you for sharing mate. I have my PPL test tomorrow so I'm still a freshy and I'm sure I'll have plenty of fuck ups in the future. You sharing this video has made me go over my radio and electrical failure procedures. Champion!

    Great video mate! It was fantastic to see you troubleshooting. Your mate is every smart with his suggestions as well. He should become a pilot. We all make mistakes mate. You handled it very well and thanks for sharing.

      I agree mate, no ones ever perfect. This was my fuck up and I’ll own it. I was happy at this point I knew how to do a radio failure procedure and get back safely

      Nope, drained the battery so no power to excite the alternator... no transponder and no communications... good lesson tho haha

      Get down to a school and go for a trial introductory flight (TIF) when the restrictions open up go to Moorabbin there are a bunch of schools there !
