Love these views of the UK and the insight into how ATC works there. As you may know, we recently had a fatal midair crash in the US between a Cessna 208 and a paramotor at about 5,000 feet. Paramotors not required to have ADS-B or transponders so not visible to ATC. As you were flying around in this video, did you have any concern about running into a paraglider? Also if you are still planning the round-the-world trip, have you seen Wolf Reichenberger's channel? He flew a DA42 around the world. Best Regards, Ibrahim.
Hi Ibrahim! Thanks 😁 Yes it can be of concern, and I have seen a few of them a few thousand feet up, even above the clouds on an overcast day..... You just need to be wary of the hot spots, and remember to keep a good look out regardless of the ATC service you are receiving. I still am! Departure will be April this year. I have been in touch with Wolf and he as given some great advice!
@@richardtyrer Great, Richard! You may have noticed Wolf had a handheld marine VHF transceiver with him and was periodically in contact with ships on marine channel 16 in case he needed their help in the unlikely event of a ditching.
Found your channel recently and love the content, DA-42 is a beauty. I used to fly it as part of training and I miss it a lot, super jealous of your flights during these times!
love the videos, have always been searching for someone to make quality flying videos around UK. Nearly finished my PPL at Redhill, might give it a go as well. It may be busy now but a Heathrow transit is mad! give them a call to find out, would make a great video!!
My friend works in the tower at Redhill so will ask him to keep a look out for you! Heathrow transit can be busy but for the transit they use a different frequency to the big jet traffic, so as the airport picks up it still shouldn't be an issue! Safe flying! 😁
After watching a couple of your videos I am wondering why you picked a Da42 over an Sr22t ? Seems like JetA is the way to go for a round the world trip but am curious whether you considered it. Thanks for the amazing content, which is a great starting place for my future english proficiency test.
My requirement was to have a twin. Not just for the world trip but for also some over water trips I would like to do around Europe in the winter. Glad you are enjoying the videos! 😁👍
Just came across your channel.....what is it you do to be able to regularly fly such a nice DA42 and helicopters etc? Only ever flew the DA42 during MEIR-CPL, but I miss it lots 🥺
What a wonderful toy that DA42 is. Are you planning a world trip in it? If so, twin piston is the way to do it... after all, what's the point if you can't see the world you're flying over?
Hello! Thank you! The 360 camera is a GoPro Max, then I also use a Hero 9 Black for the cockpit audio/instrument view, and a Hero 8 Black for the wing and general panning! 😁
Great video Use to fly out of Popham, Old Sarum and Thruxton before I held any instrument ratings, many years ago. With only steam cockpits, I would avoid airspaces like this. Scooting around to visit Shoreham, Bembridge and the occasional trip to Cherbourg. Lot different now with Glass cockpits, iPads, Foreflight, etc.
Thank you! Yes your right, iPad's and Glass Cockpits have made life much easier to achieve trips through busier airspace! But it's still doable without, and quite fun to try!
Could you confirm that it was route over London city between isle of dogs and lee Valley ?? How did you expect that route? I couldn't find it on chart as visual points. Thanks
It's just from experience from what I have done before! There are no VRP's on the chart but ATC will know instantly what you want (and more importantly it gives them confidence in you if it's busy).
Next time I'm out walking the dog on the downs behind Saltdean and I see a DA42, I'll assume it's you and give a wave. Great video !
Haha thanks! If I see someone waving frantically I’ll wave back! 😁
GBRXZ had me in stitches, over. Great videos!
Haha yeah me too! I might have edited that bit out tho 😆
Excellent video Richard - well done !!
Thanks Nigel! 😄
Fantastic video and what a superb landing.
Thank you! 😁
Lovely content!!
Thank you!
Great video - stunning aircraft!
Thanks 😊

The thrill you must feel flying over beautiful Crawley and it's great lakes.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great video, well done! Is it me or does he have a hint of the Alan Partridge accent going on?!
Haha well I did live in Norfolk for a few years! So well guessed! 😁
@@richardtyrer A-ha!
That guy using "Over" needs a printed hardback of CAP 413 slapped across his dome... lol
Haha it did crack me up a bit! But great to see ATC help anyone no matter how they transmit!

Their great to fly aren’t they! The sky’s are returning to normal now which is great to hear 😄

Great job with the camera set-ups and flying in interesting airspace.
Thanks 😊
I had to laugh, when you panned around to show your “cringe-face”. That was my reaction, too !!
Haha, I did have a small giggle after! 😁
Great video. Lovely plane. Thanks for posting
Thanks Jason! 😁👍
Mate the RH cowling looks polished 😜😂 #basicservice
Polished by Diamond's most qualified polisher 😂
great video............ OVER

Have you stopped doing these video's, Richard? They're excellent btw.
hello.
awesome video.
i have no vfr charts for the uk, with the europe subscription plan. did you buy them separately ?
Hello! Thanks so much! 😁 Yes it's an additional option to buy the NATS UK VFR Charts, believe its about £60 a year.
Just came across your channel.....what is it you do to be able to regularly fly such a nice DA42 and helicopters etc? Only ever flew the DA42 during MEIR-CPL, but I miss it lots 🥺
My main work is flying helicopters, but I bought the DA42 to do a bit trip! Hopefully once Covid settles down I will be able to finally set off! 🌍
@@richardtyrer whaaaaaaat.....how did you purchase it? Want to know if I’m missing something haha
What a wonderful toy that DA42 is. Are you planning a world trip in it? If so, twin piston is the way to do it... after all, what's the point if you can't see the world you're flying over?
Hi Richard. Great Video. Sorry if the question has already been asked but what camera are you using the in cockpit? Thanks Jeremy The Bald FLyer
Hello! Thank you! The 360 camera is a GoPro Max, then I also use a Hero 9 Black for the cockpit audio/instrument view, and a Hero 8 Black for the wing and general panning! 😁
Great flying as usual and what a pro on the radio! Thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome! Thank you 😄
He’s a commercial helicopter pilot, so he’s done it before.
Ahhh can you pay a visit to BHX at some point and fly in to Runway 15? I'll wave at you too haha
What flew past at 07.14?
Very nice - i saw you fly over my garden in Purley in the sunshine.
Haha will give you a wing waggle next time 😃
What is the 360 degree camera called?
It's a GoPro Max!
excellent video Tyer your da42 what reference its? greetings from Colombia
That 60fps does show really good details
Does this a/c have a parachute in the cabin roof?
Not this aircraft! Think that's more of a Cirrus thing!
Great video

Do you still fly 910RW ? It's based at my local a lot these days (Prestwick)! Wondered if you were ever the one taking it in/out :)
No longer in 910RW..... but I do fly another similar TBM! I do miss RW though, great aircraft!
Love these videos. Well made!
Thanks so much Ed! 😁👍
Can you increase the voice of ATC?
Thanks for the feedback! It shouldn’t be difficult to do that! 😄
@@richardtyrer - I’d suggest increasing your side-tone a little, too. Your “intercom” audio is a lot hotter than your “transmit audio”.

kool :))
Thanks! 😁
what headset do you use?
Clarity Aloft! Good passive protection, good for tall blokes in small aircraft! 😁👍
nice use of the 360
Thank you! It's a great camera for this type of filming!
