4K Flying With Matt - Bad Weather at Barton - NPPL - EV97 Eurostar - Microlight

Episode 39
My planned trip to the Ribblehead viaduct had to be scrapped on this one, due to poor weather around the north west. Instead, I take the opportunity to brush up on some circuits and go around's.
Please note, my videos are heavily edited. As such, checks and radio calls will be regularly omitted. What you see isn’t always how it occurred and some scenarios may be taken out of context.
Please make no judgment based on these videos. Mainair Flying school based at Barton played no part in either my training or ongoing guidance. As such, any content recorded in these videos does not relate to them in any way.
Full passenger safety briefings are always carried out and their welfare is my number one priority.
Thanks for watching!

Great video - welcome to winter flying at Barton, where you basically take any flying you can get 🤣

[@flyingwithmatt1986]

Thanks Steve. I seem to be booking the crap days and then working the blue sky days at the min!

[@SteveMiddleton]

@@flyingwithmatt1986 me too! You never get used to it 🤷‍♂️

[@ShortField]

Great video Matt enjoyed that. Some strange calls from the tower at Barton the FISO was giving clear instructions then following them by "at your discretion" which seems a little confusing, however looked like a really busy day with poor viz and at least you got to practice a few go-arounds 🙂 Keep 'em up matey.

[@flyingwithmatt1986]

Thanks Terry. It’s such a busy little airport with a very busy circuit. There’s often 10 in the circuit at the same time 😩. All the best mate.

Lady on the comms is very good 👍

Thought you were never going to land Matt, I now need a pee 😂

[@flyingwithmatt1986]

It was bloody horrendous!

[@dalemalpas4960]

Yes it looked it, I’m about to go solo in the ev97. (It’s a nice plane👍) I watch your videos with interest, especially radio calls

[@flyingwithmatt1986]

Good luck and enjoy it!

[@captainhindsight8779]

How much is it to rent this aircraft roughly Matt? It’s a lovely plane! Cheers

[@flyingwithmatt1986]

Hi, it’s £80 per hour plus the £40 per month fee towards maintenance etc.

[@captainhindsight8779]

Awesome, much more affordable than I thought. I’m starting a trial flight at Breeze in a few weeks, I can’t wait. Your videos have been a godsend too! Safe flying 👍

@@captainhindsight8779 You’ll love it mate. Tell Mike I said ‘hi’ 😃

@@flyingwithmatt1986 Will do mate, I’ve been wanting to fly ever since I left the RAF in 2014. In hindsight I wish I’d done it whilst still in but suppose it’s never too late! Take care
