DA42 ME-IR Training | Gloucester 50kt Wind ILS & NDB Approaches | Flight Vlog
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- This is the second video showing a ME-IR training flight in the Diamond DA42 with Aeros Flight Training. We've just flown an RNAV approach at Gloucester and are about to practice some NDB Holds before some procedural ILS and NDB approaches. There's a cold front heading our way and the weather is getting progressively worse, it certainly does make for some turbulent training!

Thank you, with the clear picture of the G1000 and good audio it´s a very valuable lesson to watch. I won´t get to fly NDB approaches though, we´re not equipped.
Probably for the best!
Hi Ben, did I catch correctly that you did just 15 hours in the sim and 15 hours in the aircraft for the ME IR? I guess you were able to shave off a good few hours due to having had the IR(R) and done some real world IFR flying?
Hey James, yes that’s what I did.
Hell yeah, I’m a simple man I see one of ben’s videos I click, I’m starting my flight training soon and I’ll be uploading parts of it to my channel as well ✈️👍 Great video as always
Good luck with your lessons!
Really good video Ben! DA42 is such an amazing aircraft!
Cheers Zak, well done on your exams!
Well done Ben, that brought it all back to me. I used to be so tired after IFR training, found it exhausting.
Thanks Michael!
@Plane Old Ben could you fly over Lydney!? :D
Wow just as I posted that I saw you over Berkeley on the other side of the river on flightradar24! Or atleast it was the diamond. Ah different reg, don't think it was you.
It's still sick popping out of the clouds with the runway perfectly infront! 💪
Nice one! Best wishes & regards from FRA
Thanks a lot!
15:30 ish, the doughnut on the left is GCHQ, if anyone cares :D
That flight simulator is really realistic
Doesn’t it just!
Fantastic video as always👍👍
Thank you Ben, good to see you’re back flying again!
Plane Old Ben it’s great to be back up👍
I'm exhausted just watching.
Haha there certainly was a lot going on
@@PlaneOldBen Incredible work, I had no idea how much was involved. So busy in that cockpit, fascinating to watch, thanks for uploading it.
You've come a long way since tootling down the Welsh border in the 172, congratulations. I hope the industry improves, and to see you at the front on one of my journeys sometime.
Is it normal to Squawk 7000 at Gloucester? I'd be surprised if they dont have their own allocations. Alternatively, 2000 is now the standard conspicuity for IFR flight OCAS.
Looked a tricky flight, well done.
It used to be 7000, now 2000 you’re correct for IFR. Thanks for the comment.
That’s quite the wind you’re battling with as well 😂
It certainly made for some training opportunities!
Keep smashing it with this MEIR content, keep at it Ben
Thank you very much, Fred!
Great video! Would be nice with the plate shown through out the video to be easier to follow.
Just a small tip that works for me. When flying NDB holds, put your CDI on you inbound coarse towards the NDB. The dots will be your 90. So when the ADI is passing the dots, you're abeam. No need to calculate your abeam, and gives i little bit less work load and better SA.
I think if you’re at this level of flying you should be able to access the plates yourself to follow along, I just put it there for those who unfortunately don’t and it’ll just get in the way if left all the time. Nice idea with the CDI however you have to action doing that, which is the same of thinking about where the abeam position is and it’s only a quick bit of mental maths to do. I’d rather do that than mess with the system. Thanks for the comment!
You handled the conditions here extremely well Ben, wind is playing havoc with you but very nicely handled. Hope you're well 👍
Thanks CJ.
Just a question about identifying radio beacon; G1000 does it pretty well but you still listen to code. Is that a requirement of your training or just good practice?
I only listened to the ADF as if doesn’t automatically identify that.
Fascinating watching this. Love Diamond Aircraft design. I fly the DA62 in the sim for when I want a modern glass cockpit twin that feels like a Mercedes 🤣
It’s such a nice aircraft to fly.
Great job! We have very few NDB approaches in the states. ATC is ultra happy and chipper because he isn't in the air. Haha! Well done on the crosswind calculations!
Thanks, Jon!
Wow well done, some challenging weather there!
Turbulence, in the clouds, trying to hold speed, altitude and heading, all the while having to read charts. Can't see myself doing much more than holding on to a barf bag in these circumstances.
I think you build up a tolerance over time haha!
Nice 😎
Thanks for your in depth commentary bro 😂
This brings back memories 5 years ago doing these same procedures and approaches in the DA42. Safe to say I think I’ve completely forgotten everything since then 😅
Haha I’m sure you’ll get that knowledge back!
Very nice! Just shows you need to be on the ball with the instrument lark
Thanks Charlie!
Really enjoyed this video Ben! You had some challenging conditions up there too! Great job :)
Thanks a lot, Luke!
Grate video Ben! Really enjoying the Series so far, the DA42 does look really interesting to fly! ✈️
Thank you, Jack!
Well any other wx on app should be easy after this!!!!
Certainly made for good training!
Very impressive mate, looks v challenging!
Thanks Harry, hope you get gliding again soon!
Another great video Ben - definitely a skill building day with that wind 🤣
Thank you bro!
Knocked it out of the park again Ben, awesome job!
Cheers Sam!
Q from a fellow flight student: At 14:10, Minimum Turn Altitude is 2300 feet at D8.0, but you start the descent to 2000 feet in the turn >D8.0 and not yet established on the LOC. Why is that? Great video, cheers
I was wondering the same thing, and he did that on either approachs ILS and DME. But overall he did a spectacular job, hell of a pilot
Another great, useful video Ben!
Thanks a lot mate!
Great video Ben! That Gear alarm gives me nightmares haha
Good luck with your ME-IR I’m sure you’ll really enjoy it!
Another great video Ben, conditions were exciting!
Thanks Joe, hope you’re keeping well!
Really enjoyed this video Ben - keep it up!
Thanks mate!
A very choppy approach had the exact same weather last week when I was flying however is the best weather to learn and practice in. :)
Cheers Declan, really nice you’re flying ahain!
@@PlaneOldBen Cheers Ben its great to be back :))
