THIS Was My Most STUPID MISTAKE

- My most silly mistake as a new pilot ended up getting us stranded, and this was my brothers first flight in a light aircraft. AND he is petrified of flying.. So lots going on here, enjoy!
We all make mistakes, some more easily avoided than other but when it comes to flying light aircraft planes, it's important to do all you can to mitigate what you can, I did a very bad job of doing that here. Every day is a school day though so I've learned my lesson!

yur brother did very good w you even tho fear flying.. excellent he did not freak out at all ... pretty calm nice blue vfr day
Goodluck
Yeah completely agree! I thought he would have freaked out way more than this.. He did a great job and I think he actually really enjoyed it!! Weather did us favours too as you correctly pointed out! Thanks mate :)
Love that after putting him through that you topped it off with a sucker punch at 12:06 😂
We are all human mate, mistakes will be be but we have to learn from them. Awesome video brother.
Haha I’m too horrible aren’t I.. Yeah I got my teaching, lucky it was all sorted easily, thank god there was people available to assist!! Thank you Cal, happy flying pal!!
Similar happened to me on my first cross country solo to Headcorn. I parked the plane but by the time I had paid the landing fee and went back to the plane the wheels had sunk enough so it wouldn't move.
Oh god, and on a solo!! That sounds more stressful than our situation.. hope it was resolved easy enough!! Happy flying chap
good vid.. i fly same exact plane Warrior in US..
i learned alot from yur mistake.. just taxxing off into soggy grass getting stuck... omg smh.. never knew this how easy hard to get out of it. look at those deep ruts from nosewheel.. omg
getting into wet soft grass..
rly succks... so lucky u got few extra muscleguys to help u out
hope u bought few pints for this nice blokes help u and bro out.
pretty cool... took how many hvy big guys like 6 ? total to just push it 30-40' out of wet hvy grass infield back to tarmac... good deal
very cool vid !
Yes mate tell me about it, I learned a valuable lesson too haha! Lucky we actually had people on hand to help us!
Yeah was very deep!! haha yeah took about 6 of us!
Thanks buddy, appreciate the comments 😀
Brilliant video. I very much enjoyed your flight with your brother. Seems like he has a great sense of humor. Blue skies, mate! Subscribed
Thank you so much chap! Really appreciate this, was a great flight to share and really happy you enjoyed it!! Yeah he’s great, really good of him to agree to come up given his fear of flying!
Another great video - mistakes are no bad thing particularly when one learns from them!
Really appreciate it Patrick, you are bang on, all good learning!!
You guys are allowed to fly near/in clouds without being on an IFR flight plan ? Also , I suggest you taxi on the grass like that with the yoke pulled all the way to your chest to keep as much weight off the nose wheel as possible. You should’ve learned that for Soft field ops
As long as you are in sight of the ground (unless above 3000ft agl) you are VFR, which I made sure we were 😊. Yeah I did pull right back if you watch when we first went on the grass. Maybe I could have a bit more but yeah. Appreciate the comment Gary, happy flying!
@@RoutesAboveThat’s crazy. In the US, VFR flights have to stay clear of clouds 500’ below, 1000’ above and 2000 ‘ Horizontal distance from clouds. Yeah , pull that yoke back as far as it will go and keep moving.
Oh wowza, yeah but different over hear! Noted, cheers chap
woww u got lot of crazy busy airspace 1:22 to deal with ?
where in England are u ? Where is London from you ? (to get bearing perspective)
It looks worse than it is, that chart is showing all airspace up to 10,000ft. The route we went took little work to navigate as it’s mostly all free airspace. I’m based out of Kemble 😊
@@RoutesAbove like where is Kemble ?
miles compass from London ?
About 100 miles west of London. Near Bristol :)
so do u ever land on official grass strips anywhere there in England? must be alot of them ?
not so much where I'm at in northeast US.. all mostly hard rw busy small med size airports.
Yeah! I really like them, I land at a few of them in my videos on the channel, have a look and let me know what you think :)
There are loads in the UK yeah!
@@RoutesAbove saw the one yur plane got stuck in grass.. omg I never ever thot knew about that big pia poss cause a huge accident for grass strip action..
good to know see it
Yeah pretty silly mistake given I heard someone got stuck too right before I did haha!
I nearly got stuck at Shobdon the other week. The grass parking can get really soppy. Luckily I was quite light.
Yeah I can imagine.. Some lighter aircraft were parking on the grass after we left and had no issues for the same reason. Microlights for the win I guess haha! Happy flying Simon!
it's something you dont do twice 🤔
I sure would hope so… stay tuned to find out I guess😅😅
