All about my method for a successful diversion for a PPL skills test. Here's the link. Just save the image and use as you need! www.timeswithjames.co.uk/ppl-d...
I’ve been trying to get my head around sine and cosine rules all week. Just when I figured it out, I’ve found this video 😄. This is actually really useful and I’ll definitely be using this method for my test within a weeks time. Thanks for sharing 👍
Great video. Joined Coventry aero just before lockdown still waiting on my first lesson. Just saved the image off the website will definitely find that useful thanks!
BRILLIANT!!! Finally...I'm taking the plunge and Taking an Introduction Flight Hopefully this weekend I have it all ahead of me I'm afraid, but your videos are brilliant I'm from Ireland so it was refreshing to see you use an Irish Aeronautical Chart I'm.so happy that you achieved your dream
Thanks James really useful, and thanks for making it available. I would love to know more (and have the templates ;-) ) about how you organise your flights and what other printouts you use on your knee board.
James I've got to say fella I laughed alot watching your videos. It's nice to see another (and bare with me here) normal nutcase enjoy flying and still have a sense of humour. Great information in all the videos and the plog is very helpful. I must say if you want a laugh you should watch my first solo flight hahhahaa it wasn't alowed on the club website due to the snot balls and swearing. Many thanks again and be safe. Sam.
James, great channel with some top quality flying content. Is there any chance if you sharing your full plog? The link to your website only shows part of it
Very nice. Thanks. Can I ask where you got this from because I couldn’t find it being sold anywhere (thanks for providing a copy to download) but just wondering where it originally came from. And also how did you simulate the same wind conditions in SkyDemon so that you could check your figures. Great video
Hi James. love the video and the diversion calculator. should make diversion calculations so much easier. However the way you have filmed this video is hard to watch. the constantly moving background is like being on a rolling ship! can you make it stationary??
Hi Love the method but do you have a better quality sheet, it doesn’t reproduce very well. It is the first time I have been able to get a good breakdown and logical method. Really good vid and after testing it is accurate phew!
James, your videos have been extremely helpful. Thank you. I'm at 44 hours and hoping to get cross country done when weather improves. Did you make the plog sheet yourself? Looks great. Wind card really useful by the way. I use the DP-1 diversion plotter which has a windstar built in.
Hey James your videos have really been keeping me going through these rough times. Quick question is there a way to get a copy of your flight log you use during flight plan. It’s so organised
Thanks James - this video I'm sure is going to be a lifesaver for me in a number of months... Only at Exercise 10 so far but know this is coming. Are they your own sheets that you have made? Also I assume Sky Demon is a no go for the skills test?
I’m not sure. As far as I’m concerned they should teach both methods. Right now I’m not used to using SD but it’s definitely the way to go (with a wizz wheel and map as backup!)
No worries mate. Practise like mad using the method I explained at the end. It’s the only way to simulate the mind mash up that is flying and diverting!
Hi James, I'm about 40 hours into my PPL and have found your content very helpful. You mentioned you linked your plog in the description.. but I can't see it, do you think you could make it available? It'd be much appreciated! Many thanks :)
You have a knack designing forms sir , in the olden days you would be snapped up by the civil service! The .pdf of the diversion is just great but is there one for your excellent PLOG?
Hope you enjoy guys, made this real quickly to help this dude out...hope he passes! If you want to use my Diversion Calculator, you can find it free here: www.timeswithjames.co.uk/ppl-diversion-calculator
I know this was three years ago, but thank you! At this stage in my PPL right now and this was extremely helpful. Much appreciated.
Just passed my skills test an hour ago! Thank you
Did the diversion calculator help?! Well done! 😎
TimesWithJames it did help!! Thank you!!
Oh that’s great to hear! Did you use it on your PPL skills test itself?
TimesWithJames yess
This is the best explanation to me. Your hair style is well accepted with your instructions!!!
You have been helping me out for years with plumbing issues and now I stumbled into you on a flying video to help 😅
Awesome James, just did my first QXC today! This will be a huge stress reliever!
Your videos are great ! Currently doing my PPL and just about to move onto Nav. Will use you calculator for sure.

Passed my PPL (A) today & used your diversion card, thanks for all the tips in your videos 😎
Nice job!
Really useful for someone going through their PPL. Thanks dude!

Absolutely brilliant video. Thanks very much.
This is really helpful! Thanks mate for the video tutorial!🙌
A definite save for when I come to do my PPL! Top video as always! 👌🏻
No worries dude. Glad to help!
Where you find the picture? :)
Love this. Super helpful. Any chance of getting hold of your plog and diversion wheel

I like the plotter, can't seem to find one like that in the U.S. great video
Excellent advice 👍
Thanks!
So great method, I will use it on the exams! Thanks
Best of luck!
Thanks, this helped me with my practical skills test. 👍🏻😎
Excellent!
That’s fantastic. Do you have the template for the whole log sheet. Just as you have printed. Thanks
Great work
GREAT JOB!

No worries Stephen. Glad they’ve helped you out. I designed the wind card myself!
Is your plog sheet available anywhere? Looks really good and love the way it folds around the A5 size.
stephenreckguitar yes mate. Linked in the description. 😎
TimesWithJames can’t find the link James
Yeah, looked for the link too and didn’t see it.
Hey James your videos have really been keeping me going through these rough times. Quick question is there a way to get a copy of your flight log you use during flight plan. It’s so organised
I'll post it on the website mate. Hope you're all good!
I would like a copy of the PLOG as well!

TimesWithJames wilco😉
Gere Cano how’s the practise going?
TimesWithJames good good its quite easy to use it at home, lets see if I can do it flying🤣🙏
Thanks for these videos !!! I'm a better pilot thank to you !! A question : backtracking runway : side or centerline ? Thanks a lot !!
I’m curious, what the other side of the paper looks like…the VFR planner side. :)
How does max drift come into effect with this; meaning 1/4 1/2 etc... because I always work out my max drift before any flight

Hi there. It’s www.timeswithjames.co.uk/ppl-diversion-calculator
Excellent video busted the myth thanks
You have a knack designing forms sir , in the olden days you would be snapped up by the civil service! The .pdf of the diversion is just great but is there one for your excellent PLOG?
Why are you subtracting when the wind correction is on the right side?
Thaks a lot mate
Hi James, Really helpful video! That plog you are using looks very well designed, any chance you have a sharable template of it? Cheers :)
On my website www.timeswithjames.co.uk
@@TimesWithJames I can only find the diversion calculator, is the plog on the website?
@@olivernurse4421 Do you find it?
@@KnutarnOffisiell no
Thanks for that so much :)
Hi, I have been struggling to get my head around unplanned diversions and really like this method, is it allowed for the actual skills test?
Yes. Anything that works for you and is safe.
What are the 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, and Full lines on the chart?
I would like to buy 1 of your diversion charts
thank you so much! i'm not so lazy to fly anymore after seeing this haha
Which plotter is that?
Can I get your plog and drift Calc sheet?
Genius!
Thanks man!
The best way to practice it doing it in flight sim
Thanks for this awesome help and for being so cute
If you ever want anyone to fly with, let me know! doing my PPL & live in east Anglia!

Just one picture?
I’ve got wasps in my brain..!
Your spoiling is appealing.
Fixed!
I suffer from pisspronounciation. I have difficulty in spraying my worms correctly.
I hope your nav calcs are better than your spelling 😂
Haha! Point it out!
TimesWithJames in the title mate . Just pulling your log 😂
Gixer750pilot ah bummer!
Hey where can I download a copy of that paper template you had for the diversion? Thanks
