  • On this flight I fly the High-G Cessna 172 from Blackpool To Nottingham via Manchester International (MAN)'s Overhead VFR. I'm also testing out the SkyEcho 2 from Transair, which I'm happy to say I really like and it worked extremely well during the flight!

    Great video Ben, I really love the EMA controller I spoke to her the other day for a service and she was fantastic giving advisories. Great example of GA safely transiting class D any not interfering with commercial traffic. Looking forward to part 2!

    Great video as usual Ben. I did a similar flight over Leeds Bradford the other day and, whilst the airport is a lot smaller, what struck me was things like the empty car parks. Also, usually it seems like GA radio chatter is noise litter for ATC whereas at the moment they seem to be happy for the company!
