I know PPR is a pain but the requirements are well published. And often Compton Abbas is busy, with limited ATC staffing. I learned to fly at Bournemouth, got my IMC and NR there too. Flying at a busy airfield with different size aircraft was a joy.
@@BillySugger1965 I always PPR, everytime I go to Goodwood, Duxford, etc I always do it, I think I forgot because I was focused on setting up the cameras, testing the audio and making sure everything was okay. Realised I didn’t PPR about 10 minutes after takeoff.
@@OutboundDiaries It’s confusing for GA pilots. I remember phoning Bembridge for PPR (it was a published requirement there) and being treated like no one had ever asked for that before.
I enjoyed your vid. If you PPR you get to find out useful info which makes your join so much easier, especially being a new pilot and especially at Compton Abbas which has several no fly zones they need you to be aware of to stop locals petitioning to close. I’m an experienced GA pilot and always call my destination before hand, whether PPR is required or not, it’s part of my planning to stay ahead of the aircraft. It’s not a bad habit to get into 👍
If it says PPR only then you have to PPR! Did used to be more receptive but since changing ownership they are much less friendly. (I am local to Compton Abbas)
@@OutboundDiaries Absolutely, I lived in Brighton and flew out of Shoreham 85-89, mostly 172, 152, PA28. Great views indeed. Very glad to see the good work is being kept up! :o) And for some REAL flying you can try the nearby gliding club at Parham. Great site, great people. Hope some of them see this too.
@@OutboundDiaries I kept it up for years after moving to Spain in 89 and even upgraded the UK-PPL to a JAR-PPL in 2003 if memory serves. Last flight was in a glider in 2014, ten years ago now, last or most recent for the time being, who knows.
PPR can be useful when the airfield has specific procedures or hazards. If you have the capability in the aircraft to make calls you could call them on your way! 😂 thanks for the video 😊
Definitely felt weird landing on it! Because it's so much wider than every other runway I've landed on its very misleading and makes you feel you are lower than you actually are
@@OutboundDiaries A few years ago an Arab sheik was selling his customised 747 using Bournemouth as a base . Used to see it trundling down the runway with wheels up still a long way to go. He must have sold it as eventually it disappeared !😂
Thank you! We use an NFlightCam GoPro Cable linked to our GoPro. Basically it plugs in to one of the headset plugs in the plane and then that goes in to the GoPro
Enjoyed the flight. Bournemouth beach is lovely, clean and sandy. We stayed at nice hotel there years ago called The Swallow Highcliff (I think it’s now owned by Marriott). We had a lovely sea view room. One lovely sunny summer’s evening your father and mother travelled down and joined us for dinner.
That whole area of Bournemouth is beautiful. My Dad use to take us every year to Swanage when we were younger so have fond memories of that whole area. Thanks for watching :)
Poor from you to not get PPR. Compton Abbas is a licensed airfield and as such, you should have familiarised yourself with its entry in the AIP; which clearly states “PPR by telephone only”. Therefore your comment about filling in an online form is incorrect and irrelevant. The reason a lot of airfields like to talk to you beforehand is so they can give you the latest information, in detail, about the airfield’s procedures - which wouldn’t be efficient over the radio. Hope that helps. Do better.
@@11clarkm I always normally PPR, everytime I’ve gone to Goodwood, Lydd, Duxford, etc I’ve PPR’d. Think I forgot because I was focused on setting up the cameras, testing the audio, etc. Once I took off I remembered I didn’t PPR and just hoped they’d let me in But Bournemouth worked out better anyway, near beautiful beaches and more todo so actually worked out well.
90% of airfields when you call them to get PPR after receiving your details just say "yes that's booked in". Somehow the whole of the USA with many many more airfields manages to get by fine without PPR.
@@SeanDuffyProductions the USA do lots of things differently, completely irrelevant. It’s a requirement in the UK. If we choose not to do it, fine, we accept the consequences… but not whine and moan like the guy in the video.
It's not a requirement in the UK, its made-up B.S. There are a tiny number of airfields that require special instructions. Private strips are different for many reasons and so PPR there makes perfect sense.

So glad I came across your channel ! Looking forwards to more flying videos
Thanks for watching! Currently editing one at the moment so ready for upload tomorrow!
That ugly freighter you saw plane is unique - a CL-44 Skymonster, built in Canada. Good video.,

The girl is so funny!! 😂😂
Nice young couple. Fly safe!
Three smooth landings for the price of one, when returning to RWY 24 at Shoreham :o) Fond memories of landing there myself many moons ago (late 80s).
Yes RWY 24 is a bumpy one haha. I love Shoreham though, such beautiful views as soon as you take off.

@@henriksoderstrom6815 That's awesome, so when was the last time you flew? I'll have to give Parham a try soon, I've flown past it many times.

Bournemouth airport has one of the longest runways in the UK. It can take the biggest jets.

@@RobertLund-d7d nonsense? I can think of many airfields with longer runways than Bournemouth.
@@11clarkm go on then . I m waiting . I didnt say it was the longest .But one of the longest.
@@RobertLund-d7d off the top of my head… Liverpool? Cardiff? Heathrow? Gatwick? Birmingham? Manchester? Stansted? Brize? Should I keep going? 🥴
Great content! What do you use to record atc please?

Compton Abbas requires PPR by phone on day of arrival: you could have just called on your mobile!
Just out of curiosity.... how much was the landing fee ?
Landing fee was pretty expensive at £47.55. Safe to say we won't be regular visitors!
didn't get where you was flying from . nice video.
@@iandunipace We fly out of Brighton City Airport (Shoreham)!

PPR INDEED IT IS A TOTAL Waste of EFFORT ……UTTER MADNESS THROWING AWAY BUSINESS , ! 😮
I think it's all just data harvesting. Hence why they ask for your email, etc.
