I just had my first circuits with instructor last Saturday 29th, a bit of a challenge, I had good one, one almost didn't make it to the runway and hard bounced landing.
Ah nice work. I cut a lot of the exact processes out because I didn’t want it to come across as “instructing” but hopefully you got some value from it anyway. You’ll get there, it’s literally just time in the circuit and revising each process, it will all click. Thanks again for watching and the comment 🤙🏼
@@tommy-hass All my learning comes from my instructor and literature but these videos help the workflow and to visualise the fields. Just nice seeing the aerodrome and runways I share with you! Looking forward to more videos - definitely would love some cross country.
That’s great to hear that it helps. I’m really frustrated about not having my nav flights on the channel yet. I had a major issue with files being corrupted when I transferred everything to a new hard drive. I have 7-8 nav flights of footage totalling close to 3 terabytes that all have issues with one or all of the camera footage. It’s been devastating. I’m aiming to put a video together that combines all of the footage that’s left as an overview of my hour building and then hopefully work on recovering the corrupt data to make full videos later.
Is it NFR or NRF, haha. Yes, doing circuits is great practice for sure. Maybe you could do a cross country to Orange or similar and take us along. You going to the Airshow down at Wollongong ??. Thanks for the upload, look forward to more.
Hey Spiro. I hope you are well. I’ve done cross countries and filmed to Moruya, Bathurst/Mudgee/Dubbo, Taree/Coffs Harbour, Canberra etc etc…. BUT, the hard drive I have all the footage on has corrupted most of the video files. It’s an absolute nightmare. Otherwise I’d have 5-6 more cross country videos on the channel by now. I’m trying to repair the files but I haven’t had any luck so far 😞
Super handy video, thanks mate. Personally, I would appreciate hearing the exact processes and radio calls throughout. It's really helpful seeing another pilot of my 'home' track going through the motions. Also, I might differ from a comment below but it's always interesting to hear the other chatter going around on the either Ground or Tower. But, I appreciate that also cuts into what narration you can do as you're continuously interrupted. Thanks again
Thanks LH. I appreciate it. I’d love to do a video on exact processes but I have to be careful about videos coming across as “instructional”. Until I do my instructor rating 😉.
@@tommy-hass In this video I thought it was pretty good. It depends though, if the radio is constant jabber, then I think that the ones relevant to you should be kept in. Lewdix, Stef Drury and Aviation101 all throw some radio calls in - I reckon it adds some 'flavour' to the video.
@@Alexander_K777 Yeah I’ve left my radio calls in but I was more referring to the calls between landing and taxing back? I guess the more specific question is, did you watch the whole video or did you find that part irrelevant?
@@tommy-hass For the calls that weren't intertwined with you speaking - I would remove them and remove the 'captions/descriptions' of them too. Other than that great video 😀.
Hi mate, Firstly thank you for your videos. I intend to do my RPL at Bankstown, so hearing the full script from start to finish when talking to ATC is more helpful then I can say. Nothing to us noobs is scarier then getting this right lol. Request if you ever have time. 1. Full long video of a circuit with the Piper Warrior PA28-161. Start-up to parking including talking to ATC. 2. Could you fly the Sydney Victor 1 flight and show full ATC communications required? Thanks again mate.
Hey Mr Murray. Not a problem at all, it’s always great to hear when you’re getting value from the videos. Thank you, I appreciate it. As for the videos I will lock those in the memory bank and next time I’m flying those I’ll cut something together for you. I’ve got a familiarisation CCTS video coming up but that’s in the 152. You’ll still get a lot from it but I’ll try do a full YSBK CCT breakdown in the Piper for you as well 🤙🏼

Hi mate. I'm following a very similar path to you I suspect. About to embark on a few months of hour building toward the CPL then an instructor rating. Enjoying the content. I'm using it to practice (chair flying actually) although my home airport is YSCB.
Hi Anthony, it’s great to hear you like the content. Where are you currently at in your flying? YSCB would be a great airport to learn at given the class C environment.
@@tommy-hass Hi mate. All CPL subjects completed and passed. Hold a private licence atm with MPPC endorsements / checkout. Have about 70 hours of PIC time to fly. Hoping to get that done over the next few months. The class c environment is good. It's surprisingly easier than a complex busy CTAF at times can you believe. The challenge at Canberra is access to the aircraft. There are a stack of people clambering for a small number of planes. I'd love to buy but the prices are through the roof.
Hey Cherf, thanks mate I appreciate it. Yes, at the very start of the video I contact ground to “request startup for circuits”. That’s awesome to hear you’ve started training. Where are you doing it?
@@Cherfield-D-Blessedman Two RN is one of a few “inbound reporting points for Bankstown”. The other main one is Prospect reservoir and there are a couple more that you won’t normally use for training until you’re getting clearance to go through class C airspace. Which you don’t need to worry about if you’re just starting. Where are you/thinking of doing your flight training with?
@@tommy-hass I enrolled now with Sydney Flight College FC. Done my first two with warrior, but i think I have to change to the new TX, cause the old Warrior not appetizing to fly,condition not good, a bit scary to fly to be honest.
Ah okay. That’s awesome. Yeah the old Warriors definitely vary when it comes to quality. But I’m saying that it is good to get used to a variety of aircraft once you’re comfortable with the basics. Do you mind me asking how you found out about SFC? They have been doing a lot of advertising lately and I’m wondering if that’s how you heard about them or if you already knew someone who recommended them?
I think you've put the mono radio audio on just the left channel, can you please dupe it for both left and right for future videos. Good content otherwise
Hey Zach, ahh okay. Thanks for letting me know. I edited it with headphones on and didn’t pick up on that but I’ll check it out and make sure I fix it moving forward. 🍻
I just had my first circuits with instructor last Saturday 29th, a bit of a challenge, I had good one, one almost didn't make it to the runway and hard bounced landing.
Oh awesome! Congratulations. Don’t stress about the bounces. It’s all a part of learning. If a pilot says they’ve never bounced one they’re lying 🤥 😂
@@tommy-hass I've watch some of your old videos, when you were doing circuits with Jabiro, I think everyone started that way.
You must have me mistaken. I haven’t flown a Jabiru before
Currently trying to nail this exact circuit at Bankstown for my PPL.
Great video at the right time!

Great stuff and helps me with my sim practice.. Many thanks for posting...
Thank you, appreciate it. I’d love to have a sim at home to help with procedure practice. Would you recommend Microsoft flight sim?
