    Great flight.
    Its interesting that a place that you know as Leeds East, I knew as home for 5 years when I was in the Air Force in the 80s. I often fly either Walney or Blackpool to CF on my sim.

    'parking an airplane is the most difficult part about being a pilot' - entirely valid. Forever too far from the grass, in the wrong place, in the staff carpark.... etc ;)

    Nice video Ben. Snow looked great and traffic info was intense there before hand over! Hope you had a good Christmas and wishing you all the very best for the new year.

    @jimififul Před 6 lety

    Didn't even realise CF had closed - no longer up to speed with these things! Great Video Ben although I was looking through the airport's Google reviews and they could do with a bit of positive - it certainly looks like they looked after you! Maybe give their stars a boost?

  • @jazzyjeff001
    @jazzyjeff001 Před 6 lety

    Fantastic video Ben,its a shame you didn't get a chance to video more inside Leeds east tower and would it be possible a short video on how your new avionic work. 5* keep up the great work

    Very nice. Leeds East looks a nice place!

    Love these videos Ben. I am training at Westair to get my PPL :) Especially like the vids with Antony in the CirrusSR22T as well (he is my boss :D)

    • @andrewbarnes2048
      @andrewbarnes2048 Před 6 lety

      Well, he is the owner of the company that I work at, so I take that as my boss :)

  • @Slaners100
    @Slaners100 Před 6 lety

    Nice one Ben, if you come down south again, do gatwick zone transit- they are also very accommodating!

  • @Payne2view
    @Payne2view Před 6 lety

    Great video (nice to see the snow too) but the only thing I dislike more than the renaming of historic airfields to something dull (like "Leeds East"), is when runways get a load of cars storage-parked on them. Poor old Church Fenton.
    Having said that I'm glad it is still open and GA pilots get to land on an RAF width runway.

  • @michaelmiklosofficial
    @michaelmiklosofficial Před 6 lety

    Smooth runways at Church Fenton and happy flying for 2018

    Leeds East Cafe is worth a vsiit when it's open. We had to pay cash though when we went

    • @PlaneOldBen
      @PlaneOldBen  Před 6 lety

      They were very accommodating, even though they had closed when we landed!

  • @christiandarbyshire

  • @RhettKelly
    @RhettKelly Před rokem

    Thanks Ben. Another lovely flight. Just a question : is startup request not necessary in the UK for VFR? I noticed the last few flights you started up and then first contact with ATC was to request taxi? Is it airport dependent? Thanks.

    • @RhettKelly
      @RhettKelly Před rokem

      Hi Ben. Just noticed the video is 5 years old. Lol. But would love to understand when to request startup. I fly on VATSIM in the UK and always request startup for a VFR departure and ATC don’t seem to mind.

  • @davidecolley
    @davidecolley Před 6 lety

    Was worried for a sec, your read back 34 left hand to Fenton's 34 right hand information.

    • @PlaneOldBen
      @PlaneOldBen  Před 6 lety

      Good spot didn't notice that even when editing it! I always knew in my brain that it was a RH circuit - how strange! Thanks for the comment.

    • @davidecolley
      @davidecolley Před 6 lety

      Possibly because you wanted a left hand join and had that in your head. Another great vid, enjoyed it!

    • @PlaneOldBen
      @PlaneOldBen  Před 6 lety

      Thank you!

    • @flyhalf2
      @flyhalf2 Před 6 lety

      I've just watched the video and spotted that, surprised the controller didn't pick up on it. Good video yet again Ben. i met you once, maybe 18 months to 2 years ago when you popped into Lomac at EGGP enquiring about doing your night rating.
