- One of the benefits of a private pilot license, is the ability to get places quickly, without the hassle of traffic jams and airport security. In this flight, I travel from Blackbushe to Dunkeswell in the PA28 Arrow 3.

I don't fly planes but somehow came across your channel and took the flight with you. That was exciting ...thank you! 🇨🇦🌟
Dunkerswell used to be a Signals unit running a Radar Bomb plotting station. In the days of RAF bombers they practised their bombing techniques by making the run but rather than drop a real bomb on the target (often in a city somewhere) they sounded a radio tone, the Radar followed the Bomber and marked the "drop" point. A bit of maths and a set of aerodynamic tables allowed the operators to find out where the "bomb" would have fallen and provide a score in distance from the target. I was a member of a sister signals unit at Conningsby Lincs -705 signals unit.
Oh how I miss being in the air on a day like that. Again some day...
Very nice video Jon
Love these videos. I just sit back, watch and enjoy ...... with jealousy.
Really enjoyed, especially as I live in Sandhurst, on the approach. :-)
Really enjoy these... I fly out of Dunk on a LAPL. Qualifed last year and back in air after lockdown. Thanks for these great videos. Fly safe sir👍
Thanks for the video, love the production quality you really finish these off well before uploading them!
A great video Jon. I’m a firm believer in always picking up a level of service from ATC if it’s available for exactly the reason you highlight here! Was saved in an almost identical situation by Gatwick director during the quiet Covid flying days whilst under a basic service having left their airspace too. I chose to descend for airspace reasons, and never saw the conflicting traffic either. Eye opening.
Classic example where Flarm is useful to back the Mk 1 eyeball. most glider have it now particularly in southern Uk
Thanks for the excellent flight,, I’ve done so many landing on this airfields and I miss the flying ,,, but I’m coming on October again to fly thank you for the excellent work
Great video again Jon, loving the videos in the arrow - seems like a lovely plane to fly!
Loved this one Jon. Very enjoyable and interesting. England looks beautiful.
Appreciated that flight Jon. That's what keeps me flying. Time saved rather than driving and the fun of it too. Thank you and keep safe
Another great video Jon with an important message. Take all the help you can get from whatever service is out there. Looked like a great day to go flying. 😎 👍
Thanks for the video Jon. My favourite so far. Really easy to follow what’s happening at all phases of the flight. The commentary and SD inserts were very helpful too. Love the extra length. Fly safely!
Great video Jon and I'm very envious mate.
Very interesting to have the close up on the instruments and explanation about mixture & fuel flow and leaning. Quite often it's not possible to see instruments on other people's panel and so it's nice to see how another type of aircraft is configured. Thanks.
Hey Jon, I’m a pilot from Western Australia and I have flown around Dunkeswell before. One day when I convert my Australian PPL to UK PPL I’ll do this route! As well for Burgh Island in Devon I highly recommend a coastal flight in that area it is absolutely speechless.
Wonderful - you flew to my local GA field. Love the video.
Yet another great video 👍
Great flight many thanks greaser on landing cheers
Great video, very entertaining and informative! Looked like a lovely day for flying.
Another good one Jon . I liked the close in on the panel . I have never flown a complex type but have many hours in on Pa28 and Pa 38 . Keep it up Jon . Regards from Ron near Liverpool
A superb video. I’m actually a new subscriber but have been binge watching during the past week. Not quite able to start PPL training yet due to other work and study commitments but your channel gives a very good pilot POV of what it’s like. Thanks again!
And yes flying must certainly be better than the A303 and Stonehenge experience😃✈️
Dunkeswell is my local airfield and where I learnt to fly (again). Brought back some fun memories.
I did some of my flight training there at Dunkeswell. Nice airfield, but prone to getting clagged in by weather given its HASL. I visited there last summer, so am due another visit by air soon!
Loved it
Good video lots of aviation detail to learn from.
Another great video Jon!! Love all the tips etc. Finally got airborne last weekend!! So please to be back :)
Good for you Robin.
being chased in by a Beech Baron "hot on yer heels!!" nice flight.
I’m based at dunkeswell, nice to see your flying there!
Ace video as always. As to calculating top of descent I find that the maths using TIME to destination (ETD) is easier then distance. I typically descend at 500 fpm so if I have to lose say 8000 ft then I start a 500 fpm descent 16 minutes out. Your Garmin 530 I’m sure will have a field you can configure for ETD. The only time I use distance is when on an IFR flight plan and ATC wants me to be at X altitude at Y nmi distance from a navaid. I guess I need simple maths since I only got a B in O Level. Haha
Hello! I really enjoyed this video. I've been working my way through all of CruisingTheCut's videos and I just watched the one you did with him. I look forward to your next video!
Thanks for coming across to the channel.
What it's all about!!! 👌
Hi Jon, nice flight. Good to see you back in the air. Let's hope it's not too long before we get to see some flights over the channel.
Not too long now.
Nice landing 👍
Great video , any chance you can demonstrate and go through the graphic display on skydemon that assisted the join and positioning for final to the runway in a future video 👍
I see you passed close to Upottery, the "Band of Brothers" airfield.
ahh you're shortening the call sign again before ATC does ;-) @ 01:28 - keep up the great videos!
i'll always take at least a basic LARS if its available. more than once I have been given traffic even while on a listening squawk at Luton... very much appreciated!
Another great video Jon.
That traffic was close, do you have a form of TCAS either with sky demon or in ZR?
I am looking at end August for the medical & soon after SEP land renewal, wx & covid permitting.
Stay safe.
I was going to say:
Careful with that downwind departure from 07. You need to turn onto a bit of base before heading West to make sure you don't cut the corner of the Farnborough ATZ/CTA/CTZ. It has happened and has featured on the Blackbushe FAQ/Answers.
But then I noticed on your track that you did that...
you can see John cutting into base around 07:21 to avoid the corner
Thank You from Vancouver I Througjly Enjoyed comming along for the ride and could You please send some Summer our way ?? Ours is rather lazy atm Thank You . Oh I beleive what You call Basic Service is what We would call here Flight Following. Cheers for now.
Another good video John, did you film the return trip?
Hello there Flying Reporter, I have just started watching your vids and thoroughly enjoy them. Did you know that you do not reply to the tower if they say Stand By. It means they are busy and do not want to be interrupted. Friendly advice
Hi Jon, really enjoyed that flight, thank you.
Was that Mr Sheen you were using on the canopy? You may want to try Plexus, available from LAS, it’s the best you can buy IMHO.
NB Where is the standby a/c compass deviation card? All too often they drop out of the holder and get lost, maybe it’s lying in the footwell? I take it it’s been swung within the last three years and should be displayed?
Best

If they offer a traffic service then get it. You can’t assume they will give alerts if you are basic, while with traffic you will be alerted.
Enjoyed your flight as I sat here and ate dinner. Maybe read up a little more on how leaning works :-)
Jon, a couple of observations if I may (yeah I know, everyone’s a critic!) for a 07 departure you could have climbed above the circuit height (but not above 2000’) into the overhead and then enroute from there - see pilots info on the airport website. I realise the timeline is edited but personally I would like to run the engine a little longer before completing the power checks - maybe taxi out of the BFG parking area and round into the 07 ‘new’ run up loop. Just a couple of thoughts, other than that excellent as always
Everyone has their own style of flying safely . . .
I do my flight lessons at Blackbushe with air first flying the pa 28 G-RAAM and G-FPSA
Nice trip Jon - sympathize with the(ground) temperatures! Bad over here in PA USA. Lots of familiar places on your flight map.
Great approach and landing.
Nice video. :) I was wondering, what are you using to hold your tablet on the yoke? Best regards.
I am currently completing my ppl at dunkeswell
Jon, interested in the decision to climb 300'. Given the other aircraft was at a 'similar' height did you assume he was likely to be at 4500? If so why climb and risk hiding him with your wings/nose? Ta.
Jon, have you though of getting a PilotAware?
I always fly at an altitude with only one zero , ie 4650 ft or 44460 ft. That 50ft could save your life.
I wish I could of used one of those empty seats. :)
Hi Jon. Just wanted to understand whether you need a clearance to cross Farnborough CTR after takeoff from 07 turning south and west?
Not if you remain in the local flying area.
You would need a clearance, if going through the CTR/CTA though
A Basic service is just that. No radar derived traffic information. By passing radar derived traffic information to you, when you weren't even identified (or your mode C verified - was he 200ft below? what if you climbed into him because your mode c was a few hundred feet out?) may lead pilots into thinking that the service they are under is better than it actually is. It's a dangerous pretence, which civil controllers are expressly told to avoid. Please don't expect this!
Did you buy a plane Jon?
Traffic low in the right hand window at ua-cam.com/video/r5LxoWNjOwk/v-deo.html Thanks for the video Jon
Hi Jon. I was told not to climb in a situation like that by raising your nose you are reducing your view considerably especially if left seat with traffic from the right, do you find climbing above traffic better?. Cheers Nils
Never heard that before. You'd have to do something to avoid, an alternative would be a descent or perhaps a right turn. Yes, the view is better with a descent.
It's a tricky one as the traffic was 200' below "indicated" so it's making an assumption on the other aircraft's altimeter setting. I'm not sure what I would have done.... definitely not a decent into it though !
@@dustyflightbag2341, FYI the indicated altitudes that the controllers see on their screen is based off the standard pressure setting (1013.25), to avoid such issues.
The required accuracy for the Mode C / S reporting is +/- 150ft, so it's indeed possible that both aircraft could be at the same altitude in this case (John's altitude encoder on his transponder could have been 50FT out, and the conflicting traffic could have been 150ft out..) so it's certainly wise to take action 🙂
@@georgeputtock6744 Thanks for that, never stop learning ! So here's a question then, I wonder what would be more accurate, the position indicated on ATC's radar screen or the altitude indicated. Depending on which is more accurate could offer a clue as to whether any avoiding action should be lateral or a swift change of altitude...?
The Arrow climbs quite well; that is what I would have done to avoid. Descending into traffic that you almost certainly won't see until the last moment, if at all, is not a great option.
I was a bit surprised to hear that leaning was not much of a science or a "thing" in your club. Fuel flow is for sure not the way to do it, as fuel needs would change on different days at different density altitudes. I highly recommend watching videos by Mike Busch from EAA starting with this one: ua-cam.com/video/_VfiPuheeGw/v-deo.html
I am more of a rotary or private jet fan, these are not really sexy things to go from A to B
