    Nice work Steve, good IMC time despite not being the most scenic for you mate. Expensive trip in the Baron for a day run! Thanks for sharing :)

    Loved this so much! The decision making and thought process is excellent to see for pilots wishing to get better at it. I haven’t been exposed to IMC much so that makes this video stand out for me. Thanks for posting 😊

    I've done Lilydale to Launceston VFR before today. They recommend VFR you do Island hopping and the route is in the ERSA and also scheduled reports. I was also flying with flight following so I had someone looking out for me the entire way.
    Interesting seeing the jump in a twin IFR.

      Cool. There is something nice about flying over oceans. I’ve done Bankstown to Hobart a couple of times in a DA40NG. But always been IFR. Flight Following is great if doing it VFR.

      I'm actually smashing all your video presentations. So valuable. Thanks again...Looks like Foreflight is your preferred EFB. I use Ozrunways but open to comparisons. Keep it up. 😎🤟🏽@@diamondairtaxis

      I’m so glad you find them useful. I switched from Avplan to ForeFlight. ForeFlight is the number 1 EFB globally. I think it’s superior to the Australian products.

    Hi Steve great video... quick ignorant question. Last time I looked Foreflight didn't support LSALT. When you referred to LSALT in the video, were you using the MOCA on the IFR Low chart as an equivalent? Not sure if there is a difference... thanks

    • @diamondairtaxis
      @diamondairtaxis  Рік тому

      Good question. Can’t remember when I said it but I was either referring to the MOCA on an airway or grid LSALT which I get from the Australia IFR (Low) or the Jeppesen IFR (low) chart overlays. I think you are right that the ForeFlight Aeronautical chart does not show grid LSALT.

      I used FF when I lived in the US. Prefer it to OZR - we just need some pireps/ comments on airfields etc plus the webcams would be nice. For the time being I am using both. Thanks again for these videos they are very helpful/ well produced and flown. @@diamondairtaxis

    This was really cool to watch. Out of curiosity if you don't mind me asking, but how much did this trip cost you for the day?

    • @diamondairtaxis
      @diamondairtaxis  Рік тому

      Probably around aud$5k… not cheap but a great experience! Even better if you can take passengers and share the cost.

    What’s with 32L when there’s only one runway? Bit bizarre

    • @diamondairtaxis
      @diamondairtaxis  Рік тому

      There is a disused parallel grass runway. I assume that used to be 32R. But they could probably scrap the “L” now.
