  • I'm sad to inform you that I will be no longer flying G-OWST, I'm moving onto pastures new. I hope you enjoy this last swan song, an ILS DME Approach into Runway 28 at Blackpool Airport.

    This is pure IFR porn - and I love it. I've experienced just enough IFR (the minimum for night rating back in the day) to appreciate the challenge and the workload involved - and you are mastering it so well you make it look easy.

    • @TheAvenstar
      @TheAvenstar Před 4 lety +2

      It IS easy with a flight director, auto-pilot, two radios, a transponder, a spotter, a headset, a full panel, and ILS capability. When we did it back in the fifties and sixties, we had no autopilot, no headset, no ILS, one radio with VOR only -- or ADF --no sure take on the weather because there were no weather satellites. And beside an altimeter we had only a VSI, needle and ball, airspeed indicator and gyro horizon ...that was it! When we were full IFR we landed sweating! However, this young man's performance was admirable, and professional ...and accept for floating halfway down the runway -- I wouldn't want to be flying with him with an engine failure -- it was picture perfect all the way.

    I don't know if Ben Old Ben is a very xperienced pilot, but seeing this video, it's obvious he learnt his lesson well. Did everything by the book, even calling out what his intentions were ( despite the fact that his''co-pilot'') being or not a pilot. And on top everything was hand flying. Outstanding.
    Congrats Ben. Nice job. Happy landings.

  • @Ender.wigginn
    @Ender.wigginn Před 4 lety +5

    Beautiful ILS. Texan here, all I could think about was how annoyed the controllers over there would be with me, I only understood half of what was said by the controller, and less of what was said by your copilot. Probably not as bad through headphones or the headset, but the dialect is so different from what I'm used to. 😂
    "Uhhh, I'm going to need you to annunciate more clearly, patnah, I only caught half of that. Alpha hotel Yankee."
    "Alpha hotel Yankee, are you barking mad, I am annunciating, you're just not used to the Queen's propper English."
    "Either way, this crop duster ain't gonna land 'propper' without me understanding my instructions and clearences. Please repeat directions, slowly if need be, I won't be offended. Alpha Hotel Yankee."
    Exaggerated, but you get the idea 😂

    Nice video! Great to share stuff too. Presumably you're a IMC or IFR/R in new money? If so it may be worth undertaking the flight as IFR that way you can log IFR time not just IMC. May be handy when you come to getting your logbook together for interviews. If indeed you want to go commercial.
    Best of luck in your flying career. You're doing very well by the looks of things.

    Your video quality is excellent and you seem at home in the cockpit.

Is this an extension of the already confusing class E/G service system in the UK? I like my flight rules a bit more rigid than they appear here, some illumination would be helpful :)
