      Thanks Joe! I’m really pleased I chose Aeros as the aircraft are great and the instruction I’ve had has given me a strong grounding, really noticeable on some of the IFR flights I’ve done recently!

    A really nice video - do like the startup sequence - even if half of it doesn't mean very much, it's nice to see what has to be done on ME aircraft startup.

    Hi Ben, great video as always, thanks for sharing the first part.
    I fly for a well known lo-co airline at Stansted so I spend a lot of my working life in a radar environment, however I also fly G/A occasionally and find coordinating an airways join a bit of a faff, as the airfield I fly from is uncontrolled.
    Depending on the controller, London can be quite persnickety when it comes down to the initial call and when changing sectors - I have been told off on a number of occasions! If you want to get technical about it, the guidance can be found in GEN 3.3 from the AIP, section 3.12.2.2 (link at end);
    "Unless otherwise instructed [....], when changing communication channel to an ATC unit
    (including changes within the same ATS unit), the initial call on the new frequency shall include aircraft identification and level
    only."
    So in this case, if you get an instruction to tell the new controller your heading, we're still expected to follow the guidance above by including your level as well.
    All very boring and technical, but I guess it helps to know that they are at least just following their own set of rules!
    Looking forward to the second part of the video :-)

      Toby that’s great thank you, since that flight I researched the subject to make sure I was ready for the MEIR Skills test, but it is still confusing at times. Thank you for taking the time to share this information.

      @@PlaneOldBen I agree! Being an aviation geek myself and wanting to know every little detail, this video is brilliant! :) The audience I target with the vids on my own channel is a bit broader, but it's always hard to decide what to include and exclude from a video. Perhaps you can have a look at a couple of my vids and let me know what you think, or even subscribe? :P

    I realize this was a couple of years ago, but I have a question for you. Now, I'm not instrument rated, and I haven't flown in 40 years, but here in the States, the current thinking seems to be 'use all of the tech that's available and then manage the system.' So, after departure, after climbing through a comfortable level and getting the airplane cleaned up and trimmed, they seem to suggest getting the autopilot on as soon as possible and then letting it fly the airplane while you monitor the nav and comms as well as the engines and overall monitoring of the aircraft.
    Did they teach you that, or do they teach that now? What are your thoughts on that?

    @14:50 you are told to use full callsign. I can find reference to this in CAP413 for a route clearance, but this is just departure, right ? Is this some SOP at that airfield or am I missing something? As always, great vid!

    • @PlaneOldBen
      @PlaneOldBen  5 років тому

      Really good question! The departure instructions here are given in the same style as a clearance hence reading back full callsign and it’s within the Aeros SOPs.

    what's the reasoning you don't change you Barometric pressure before climbing to a FL. As I get taught to set STD BARO then bug the altitude and then climb. be interested to know?

    • @PlaneOldBen
      @PlaneOldBen  5 років тому +1

      It delays starting the climb so we were taught to initiate the climb then cross reference the altimeters to make sure they are within tolerance.

    Out of curiosity, is it not worth setting up your flight plan before starting your engines?

    • @PlaneOldBen
      @PlaneOldBen  5 років тому +1

      Good question, you don’t want too as you’re draining the battery quite quickly without the engines on, it only takes a couple of minutes to enter the flight plan. The rest of the time is spent running through the checklist items.

    Why do you not use the flight director ? And not navigate on the gps...G1000 avionics kind of defeats the use of the HOOD, 🤪

      You depart visually and when reaching a safe altitude then pull down the instrument hood. At 19:34 I was checking it was clear to the left, before pulling down the instrument hood. Pulling it down without making sure it was clear in the direction we were traveling would not be advisable!
