The Dublin controller said "no further north", and you kept flying north. The correct procedure into weston from the VRP Pigeon house chimneys, is south of the liffey, not above 2k ft. At Palmerstown roundabout, you orbit till Weston clear you in, reamaning clear of the R15 (Don't pass the railway line). You seemed to fly North of the Liffey the whole way, but did well with Weston clearing you in. Generally, if traffic is leaving Weston, they fly north of the Liffey, and you should be south. Runway 7 in Weston is fun. I note you didn't record the departure part of this. Leaving Weston, you need to have a pen and paper, those controllers are out for blood, they deal with students all day and appriecate and respect a correct readback. I didn't hear yours, but have a pen ready for when they talk. You did very well, I hope my above comment doesn't come across as rude. I'm only giving you some tips. It is a hard place to fly into and you did it very well. Safe flying!!
Thank you very much for your comment. The flight was slightly to the north however, apart from that, I do not think it was out of order. Anyway, every day is a learning day ;) The landing was a fun, you are right. It is a bit tight there taking into consideration the military area nearby. The controller was a pain but that was more about attitude. Do you fly in that area?
@@theflyingadventures I did all my flight training there in 2019. I still often fly into it. The radio work can keep you on your toes. They deal with Students all day and get sick of any way wrong radio read back. Dublin are always lovely to deal with and I find them very helpful. Go do the Lambay transit the next time. Now that is an intresting flight. You fly under the flight path of Dublin, not above 500ft over the water. Your flight was great and I loved your video. Keep up the good work and we are all, always learning!
Spectacular views and flight path from Dublin Port and then across the city. A stunning way to see the capital. A highly skilful flight, flying and navigating through very complex and busy airspace. Some of the flight corridors and permissible airspace was extremely narrow but made to look effortless. Simply superb! Love it 🤙
Great to fly right over the centre of Dublin following the river. little chance of that in London! Haven't been there for a long time but reminds me of how nice it is.
Say! Is it OK to ask if anyone knows of Tim Luffingham from 1982 ? ! I hope he remained well, and if so is in happy retirement. I took only 5 flying lessons in total in 1982, 83 and 85. Two out of Weston and three in a C152 out of Dublin Airport's FBO westside, the name then escapes me for the moment. Tim was my instructor out of Weston in a Rallye 100? Man that place has changed. A 65 year old here in London dreaming of what might have been (sob) Very nice video. Reliable old birds.
@@theflyingadventures Thanks so much. I will try to catch up with your amazingly varied trips. Great idea for a channel! As just a long time private chauffeur for families or hotels I've collected from or been to many of the private airfields. I watch a lot of Dan Gryder, Juan Browne, Pilot Debrief , VAS and the 2 big sim recreated incident channels. Now I have one more. They seem like great adventures.
@@karhukivi Hi, what alternative would you suggest? There are also procedures to follow so it is not possible to fly wherever we qould want. If engine fail over water then ditching would be the only option (fingers crossed that will never happen).
@@theflyingadventures I have flown along the coast from Wexford to Dublin over land all the way. I wouldn't try ditching a high-wing Cessna a mile off the beach!
@@theflyingadventures I trust you were wearing a lifejacket and carrying an inflatable raft. The only time I ever had an engine cut out was over the Dover Straits - we had forgotten to change over the fuel tanks. The remedy was simple but it scared the daylights out of us!

@@skyrangerswift2ireland That is fair enough, a good way for the students to learn.
@@theflyingadventures They can be bastards though. I've had my fair share of run-in with them. So don't worry about them. They're after everyone!

Thanks Toby :)
Super informative video from transit via Dublin. I wish I could fly that wat myself, well done 😊
Thank you for you kind words, Sam :)

Is it a good idea to fly so much over water? If the single engine fails, you have to get over land and then find a field to land in.
