      @@FlyWithNoelPhilips Noel, hi. I've been subscribed for about a year and I love your pilot vlogs. But please stop speeding up the vid when your flying towards an airport. I understand why you have to do it on takeoffs. Its a time constraint but your spoiling some of the most of the scenic parts which North Devon and Cornwall are. Maybe its just me. I'm not sure. Either way I love your vids and look forward to them. Especially your pilot vlogs, your living my dream. Take are bud.....

    Found your channel by chance when searching for G-BNOM on google to try and find out if it was still flying!
    Took my first lessons in G-BNOM when I was 14/15 or so back in maybe 2010/2011, with instructors Alan Pattinson and Graham Dawson, when it was owned by Border Air Training in Cumbria.
    Flew from Carlisle down the west coast over Whitehaven and back on my first flight with an incredibly proud mother sat in the back, good memories!
    They had most of their aircraft painted white and red with a custom livery but G-BNOM was left white and orange up until the business moved out of the area.
    Glad to see that it's still going strong and someone is getting good use out of it 😎

    Hi Noel, lovely video! Swansea is my local airport, such a shame to see it so derelict. I've always wanted to eventually obtain a PPL, which I think is possible with savings. Keeping current is the issue as I understand that can get quite costly. Do you have any suggestions how this can be sustainable and cost effective?

      It surprised me how reasonable it was too! Fuel was very pricey though, £3 a litre (but it comes off my rental so didn't really make a difference). I'm not sure if they charge more for a longer stay - but.2 hours rings a bell so may be worth giving them a call to check. I used FlyNQY they're very helpful and friendly!

      Hi Mark, not sure if it's right but always ask for 'airfield information'. CAP413 says 'Taxi information' though so maybe I've been doing it all wrong! I think it's all semantics though and I don't think I've heard many people request 'taxi information' at an A/G airfield.

      GPS is your friend! But aside from this, we navigate either visually (by roads/towns/features) or using navigational beacons (VOR/NDB). Usually I use a combination of all three - primarily GPS, using VORs/NDBs along the way and then visual features for approach/landing.
