Another brilliant video Richard! Thank you for the reply to my comment on your other video too! Absolutely can not wait to get these ATPL exams finished! 🤦♂🤦♂😂😂 I am based in Liverpool so if you find yourself there again any time soon, I'd love to buy you a coffee and pick your brains on the aviation industry and your experiences as a commercial helicopter pilot!
Your channel is, IMHO, quickly joining the ranks of some of the best aviation channels out there: Missionary BP, steve1kineo, Premier 1 Driver (all their best riffs are showing up in your work, but then, you have that sweet, sharp Diamond). Great flights, great info, great video. Keep it coming!
always impressed by the ease you do this. Looks like you are/were a professional pilot. And your knowledge about the garmin is impeccable. Love these vids
Excellent video and excellent flying. I'm a UK PPL with an IMC/IR(R). I've been following US channels such as S1K, P1D and Citation Max. Your videos work much better for me than the Americans, clear explanations, great view of the panel and of Foreflight, and enviable accuracy on flying the ILS. You have me wondering how much time and money it would take to upgrade to a multi IR on a DA42 (it's only recreation for me, my main flying interest is gliding, I have an Arcus M)
Thank you so much! 😁 Once you have met the criteria for the MEP I think its only a 6 hour course. For the cost I can't remember (I did mine a while ago) but in the UK I think its around £3.5K. I'm not a glider pilot so had to Google the Arcus M, looks a pretty slick bit of kit!
@@richardtyrer This afternoon having landed the Arcus ahead of the rain I was telling a young pilot at our club Liam Bennett that I was inspired by your videos and asking about this. Apparently he knows you. He has preached to me before about the advantages of Diamond over Cirrus! If I ever do it it will be down to you but the fime requirement fights with gliding.
Hi Nick, I’m closer to Liverpool too from where I live in Manchester, as Ringway and Barton are too far away for me regards good quality public transport links, perfect for getting home to Ireland in a hurry lol 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧🙏❤️
This is honestly a dream for me! I have 6 hours in my ppl so far. I haven't really done anymore lessons as I am getting my class 2 medical sorted before I continue.
Just found the channel and I'm very impressed by the quality of your videos. Which suction cups are you using for your equipment like iPad and GoPros? they seem very solid
Thank you! 😁 The iPads are mounted on factory fitted mounts (RAM ball), the GoPro's are mounted on the standard suction cups (with sometimes putting the dash one on a GoPro crocodile mount). I do need to get some better mounts for some better shots, the factory ones can be a bit limiting.
Been a long wait but finally us virtual flyers have the DA-42 in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Would love to hear your thoughts if you get a spare moment. Fly from home (COWS Diamond DA42 for MSFS | In-Depth Review by Real World Twinstar Pilot!) does a great review?
Superb video as always, thanks for producing and sharing it. After getting a partial in my recent IR test, hoping to get the IR rating soon ! Just need to re-do one vectored ILS
Lovely video! The general cost of the DA42 are scaring me already. I fear that it would make me only fly if I really had to. But I have to say that the bird is awesome!
@@richardtyrer I don't think your Diamond DA42 has enough fuel to get there, and you'll need many refueling stops. You might have to fly over parts of Europe, then Asia. Then, in theory, you will have to go from south east Asia over the South China Sea into Indonesia, then take a flight over the Timor Sea to land in Darwin, AU. :)
19:37 Richard, you should contact Micke and let him know that you now prefer he call you Lord Tyrer. How did you get a U.S. registration (N42LR) in the U.K.? Also, is there anything you can't fly? I've even seen you fly a helicopter. Have a good day.
Great video , thank you. Really enjoyed the explanation this time. I’m building confidence on my Nynja but only VFR rated so really appreciate the GA perspective from your videos. Well done
I have the ForeFlight app on my iPad and it’s fascinating to see all the airspace, even the Irish airfields and Irish airspace that I’m the most familiar with - having all the charts properly organised in this way is so much better, as I’m an aviation enthusiast and I used to waste loads of money printing out charts after I used to download them on older computers - I’ve always wanted to go on an aircraft like Richard’s when visiting family in Ireland from here in Manchester as I’m closer to Liverpool
That is a highly competent flight and superb knowledge of your systems and nav instruments. The only query is why you didn't request a little higher en-route to avoid the towering cumulus. Brilliant video and very enjoyable to watch.
You like EDM also SurfVR? I got hooked into that genre 7-8 years ago, and specifically the future bass genre in 2020-21 (took me a while to warm up to that style, even though it became popular in 2017). This intro track falls into the future bass category. :)
I very much enjoyed the video. You kept the commentary up throughout. Consequently, it was extremely informative and useful for future flights in the DA42.
Thanks! Haha I found it really difficult at first, but after a while you can expect what they are going to say which makes it easier..... sometimes I have trouble in different countries! 😁👍
Just recently discovered your excellent videos, Richard. I have a PPL/Instrument and thinking about doing the multi rating in a DA42 in the US. However, as I'm based in Kuwait, wondering if it would make more sense to do it in Europe or the UK (less jet lag to worry about). Do you have a rough idea what a multi-IFR rating in a DA42 would cost in the UK? Thanks. By the way, my uncle Kenneth was a radar operator on a Lancaster in the RAF during WWII. I believe the British bombed at night using this "Magic Eye" radar whilst the Americans bombed during the day. Happy Landings, Ibrahim
I think the main deciding point on that would be what nationality of licence you currently hold. Honestly I don't know how much one would cost over here these days. I suspect in a DA42 it would be around £3500! If you want any recommendations for schools just send me a DM!
@@richardtyrer because of the lower number of aircraft movements in Irish airspace, I’m wondering if it would be better to finish off some of the training in Ireland?
Richard - you must have dropped by to Kilo when I restarted flying lessons at Liverpool Flying School last year after a 22 year hiatus, after first completing 36 hours over in Casper, Wyoming. It's my hope to complete my LAPL, PPL, Night and IMC / IR(R) by the end of next year. Not bothered about CPL but I would like to get a twin engine and perhaps take a course in the US on flying a P51-D Mustang!
Yeah its good for high level airways stuff, but lower level in the UK it can come up with some odd routes you know won't work. To be fair ATC are great and will usually just vector or give you other waypoints once airborne. 😁
Hi Richard, living in Manchester 20 years, I’m closer to Liverpool John Lennon Airport, but have extended family in Ireland, near Dublin - being proudly Irish, I highly recommend that you get to visit the beautiful West of Ireland from Donegal, Sligo, Knock, Galway, Shannon, Kerry and Cork airports, as the scenery is stunning on your Irish adventure and of course, you will be assured of a warm “Cead Mile Failte” when you come to visit us 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧🙏❤️
Richard, would be great if did a video on UK airspace and why you guys on an IFR flight plan cannot fly into certain airspaces. For us who fly in the US that is all very foreign ;-)
Hi Matt! Basically you need to file an IFR flight plan for entry into all class A airspace. With all other controlled airspace you are meant to, but if you don't you can happily sort it out in the air! Hope that helps!
@@richardtyrer I’d love to hear about all the rules that are required for flying across the Irish Sea from the U.K. and beyond - I know that it has to have an IFR flight plan in advance and that Dublin EIDW is a “designated airfield” before you can fly anywhere else within Ireland - I know that many Irish GA pilots fly from Ireland to France all the time, usually from Weston EIWT
They are slowly dying out (yipee!), but we are massively behind in RNAV approaches in the UK, so we still have them as an alternative is the ILS breaks down.
Thanks Mike! It's great to get the feedback from the UK pilots. I also occasionally fly a TBM from Wycombe (N940RW), not sure if we would have met at a TBM meeting before?
@@richardtyrer Hi Richard, I don’t think we’ve met but I’ve been around a while with many different aircraft I’ve owned. Be good to compare notes. Next time to come to Lee let me know. My Reg is 2-WARD
Great videos Richard. Thx for posting them. I was just wandering why the FPL altitudes at your current enroute waypoint are manually inserted. As you entered the aerodrome elevation in the FPL during run-up, I was expecting all the other altitudes to be in white and advisory but still able to give you a TOD and BOD.
Hi Toon! The en-route altitudes will automatically change with the altitude you select on the flight director. If you manually insert the en-route altitude on the FPL it would become a nightmare if you start changing cruising levels. I think that was what you were after, if not just say! 😁
@@richardtyrer I’d guess that you would have to factor in the QNH as well, as it’s only standard altimeter QNH pressure setting above 18,000 ft AMSL - airfield elevations AMSL on the local pressure settings factor in too, so is altitudes in AGL more accurate?
Well done. I had to fast forward the loudmouth in the middle. Not your fault, and ff is a feature we have lol. I would like to have seen more out of that awesome canopy. Especially the countryside and the approach into Liverpool. Thanks!
@@richardtyrer I’d love to fly with you from Liverpool the next time I’m going home to Ireland on my next 5 days visiting family - and I’d imagine it would be IFR all the way to Dublin EIDW - the Diamond looks very comfy and I promise not to bring too much luggage across the Irish Sea lol
Put in the flight plan "the old fashioned way". I used to have a chart, a stopwatch and a pad of scrap paper. The school's PA28 that had a Six-Pack with the instruments in the wrong holes on the panel (I dumped that flight school a bit quick) - no names - Wo+dv+le Aviation.
Thanks so much for that! I use Clarity Aloft headsets. Really comfy (if you are happy with in ear plugs) and great passive noise cancellation. You also don't get a break in the seal with sunglasses etc. 😁
Yeah unfortunately big airports charge big fees now.... its a bit of a shame because it really limits GA flying in the UK. If it's no the landing fee it's the handling charges which get you!
Hi Richard, did you do your training and instrument rating in the USA? I hear that going over there to do an instrument rating and flying an N registered aircraft on return to the UK is much cheaper. Can you offer any advice?
Hi Martin, I have done all my training in the UK so I can't offer any real advice on that one! I already held an EASA CPL/IR so I run of a 61.75 certificate with an IFP exam. It might be cheaper but I think a lot of people prefer the FAA route as you can achieve it in a shorter period of time with less ground exams!
Yeah those needles go all over the place these days! Even when you shoot a raw NDB approach accurately you end up a long way off from where you want to be! 😁
It's really more of a pre clearance, but the "remain outside" bit is that you don't enter controlled airspace with out establishing two way communications with the correct unit when departing an uncontrolled airport with no IFR procedure.
@@richardtyrer Something sounded wrong to me but I did not work out what it was, then saw the localiser needle and it tied up with closing from the south side LH circuit and I forgot about it
Really Nice Video Richard! First time here... Will definitely be back. Thanks!
Thanks Max! Ive been watching your videos for a while now. They gave me inspiration to start my own channel! Pre-flights take twice as long now 😂
As a UK follower of your channel it is good to see you here.
Really nice clip...got an idea how the Garmin works. Thanks for the ride mate!
IFR very well explained indeed Richard and the bonus of Micke Lang - congratulations 👏👏👏👏
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Another great video. Thanks! Waggle your wings if you ever fly over Alverdiscott!

Thank you so much! 😁 I put a lot of time into making and editing the videos! I'm sure the Diamond sells itself tho!
I certainly do agree with this, as I follow all of these channels and indeed, Richard is doing a great job 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧❤️
Always great, love the Captain Nigel @ British Airways cheesy commentary.

Fantastic video. Hope those in the U.S. appreciate this was > $1000 worth of flying! (Liverpool and back)
Thank you! 😁
"Richard Tyrer", the new standard in aviation UA-cam videos..... excellent work again 👍
Amazing to hear! Thank you 😁
Discovered your vids a few weeks ago and thoroughly enjoy them. Beautifully explained every step of the way. Thanks.

Always interesting to hear the differences between ATC language and systems. Eg "basic service" never heard that in US
@@seagullsbtn this is true here in the U.K. with ATC, as we don’t have this “basic service” back home in Ireland either
Liverpool...my home airfield...fantastic flight Richard, thankyou.
You're welcome Nick! It was my home airfield for a few years as well (long time ago!) 😁👍

It's a great aircraft! Thanks 😁
It would be a dream to own a plane like your DA42. A lottery win maybe
Put in the flight plan "the old fashioned way". I used to have a chart, a stopwatch and a pad of scrap paper. The school's PA28 that had a Six-Pack with the instruments in the wrong holes on the panel (I dumped that flight school a bit quick) - no names - Wo+dv+le Aviation.
Haha yeah ok, I am a child of the magenta! I used to live near that school which you didn't mention! 😁
Enjoying the videos Richard. Have you bought an extra subs in ForeFlight for the CAA VFR map? Not on my subs so assuming it's extra?
Hi Andy, It is an extra for the CAA VFR map (think it's £56 by memory).
Great video, really enjoy these full flights lots of great information. Which headset are you using?
Thanks so much for that! I use Clarity Aloft headsets. Really comfy (if you are happy with in ear plugs) and great passive noise cancellation. You also don't get a break in the seal with sunglasses etc. 😁
Just don't land at Liverpool, we got charged £170 landing fee for Piper Lance. Days are gone when we would pay £5 training rate at the security gate.

Great video! Can’t believe how the ADF needle was all over the shop on the approach.
Yeah those needles go all over the place these days! Even when you shoot a raw NDB approach accurately you end up a long way off from where you want to be! 😁
What does it mean to stay outside of controlled airspace on an IFR clearance??
It's really more of a pre clearance, but the "remain outside" bit is that you don't enter controlled airspace with out establishing two way communications with the correct unit when departing an uncontrolled airport with no IFR procedure.
Wycombe no longer tower controlled? Or is this outside hours?
It's now gone to A/G only. It was no longer viable to run a full ATC service
Wow, very high quality, good job man :)
Thank you so much Dan! 😁
