Just came back from Lesson 3, with rain squalls, 4 in the circuit at Elstree and then HeliMed landing 100m off the end of the threshold - and its all because of people like you that I started this!!!! Loving it!!!
Hi James, I’ve watched plumberparts for ages but didn’t know about the flying and this channel. I have just subscribed here too, loads of respect for gaining your PPL. It takes a lot of time and work to gain your PPL, well done. Great flight in challenging conditions and great rapport with ATC. Enjoyed the chat too, look after your mates. Well done, regards, chris.
Great effort! Good on you for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. You definitely earned that beer! Ps, you now have one more subscriber! Thank you for both channels!! Plumberparts has helped me no end!
Wow! What a landing in the end :) I've just started circuits last week (It's taken 14 months but Covid and the lockdown meant I didn't fly for 6 months) so it was great to watch. Some great thoughts about the times we find ourselves in as well. Cheers James!
He's only into flying too!! Bloody legend. I fly Typhoons in the RAF, when this lock down is over ping me message if you fancy a look around! Love the vids James.
@@TimesWithJames ah no way! Mint. Been many times out there, he'll be on the beach now absolutely leathered. You can contact me through him if you like. Tell him to hit me up Whatmough Flt Lt D. On 29 Sqn. He'll be able to search on Modnet. Top man keep up the vids, loved the Lawnmower hahaha
Great landing. Flying and Diving have been giving me some Respite from everything, although my situation is odd anyway being on an overseas posting in Cyprus, it's still affecting me here worrying about how i can visit family in the UK if Cyprus change their policy's on travel etc. Stay Safe
Inspiring flying, I'm only able to do this on XP11. Quite enjoy the debrief format, post flight. Would you consider doing a wing mounted 3rd camera? Really agree with how everyone has been effected in some way and it's great that you are talking about mental health.
Hi James, I wonder, is your flight training for pure pleasure or is the plan to be become a commercial pilot and perhaps leave plumbing business? Just curious...
Hi Liam, glad you liked! On 'big wind' days I tend to approach att eh way to the runway to reduce the aircraft being nudged about and off center during final. I don't usually add it in this late (you can land without) but normally pop it in after turning final followed by some trim.
10 degree is not a crosswind lol. Its straight down the runway and actually it makes landing easier. I agree on the though 14 g 19, for a low time pilot its definitely sporty.
& the fuel pump that is on, its no deal at all. I actually don't turn off my fuel pump till altitude. On days I stay in the pattern or do maneuvers, I'll leave it on the whole time.
CamXplores take each stage at a time. Recognise that it’s 2 steps forward and 1 back, plus that you’ll be thinking you’re never ready...but really you are! Oh and ENJOY IT!
2 comments. Fuel pump on in the circuit! You are at a 1000 feet if the pump fails you quick run out of space to deal with it. I was told top of decent into land. 2nd Full flap should be applied shortly after turning final to get the approach stabilised.
Fuel pump is on in circuit. It backs up the engine driven fuel pump so there is redundancy in the event of either pump failing. This is correct procedure for the PA28 Warrior
had a lesson 10 years ago hated every minute of it, flew over the brecon beacons great view just didn't see the point. honestly prefer a drive in the van.
Hope you enjoy. Any pilot that wants to BIATCH then do one. I have more pressing matter on my mind! Keep it real innit and bang the SUB/BELL!

A Plumber in a Plane! Awsome!
Thanks for the shout James'
Great job ' Hold Tight!

Brilliant video, your old man was really enjoying it, even the radio gremlins with Duxford. Great stuff as usual. Cheers James!!
How we have missed time with James lol.... Really enjoyed it Jimmy
Just found this channel. Awesome landing. Was convinced you were going to bounce down the runway a bit to get it down. Thanks for sharing. Take care.
Made me smile as I knew exactly how you felt before, during and after landing! 😁
Duxford is on my list to visit once I get my licence. Loving the channel.
It's a great place to fly!
Great effort! Good on you for pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. You definitely earned that beer!

Haha! Cool man. I'm editing the next flying video today!

Great landing James 👍🏻
Cheers dude!

Hello mate, will do! My bro is in the RAF, based in Cyprus the lucky sod!

Will do!
Good afternoon to you sir from wellington Somerset

Hi James,
I wonder, is your flight training for pure pleasure or is the plan to be become a commercial pilot and perhaps leave plumbing business? Just curious...
And that's how you develop your skills...go for it. The day you actually have to land in nasty changing weather you know you can do it.
Cheers Paul. Did the same again on Friday. Much happier!
Great video James, nice editing. Really must visit Duxford again soon. Out of curiosity why did you alter flap so low down almost over the runway?
Hi Liam, glad you liked! On 'big wind' days I tend to approach att eh way to the runway to reduce the aircraft being nudged about and off center during final. I don't usually add it in this late (you can land without) but normally pop it in after turning final followed by some trim.
@@TimesWithJames see you around the UK Pooley circuit when this chaos is over maybe :)
How much would you need to spend to get to this point in training? Looks amazing well done
I'm qualified, costed about £6500 over 2.5 years. That includes exam fees etc.
Great video James. Have you ever thought about having a go on a flight sim? Do you reckon you could do it unassisted?
Landing a 737 or something?
@@TimesWithJames yeah. Reckon you could do it?
I had a go at Heathrow as a kid (dad knew a pilot). One of the best experiences of my life and will never forget it.
I know how to use the alt/speed auto pilot on them and the radio/transponder. But I’d need someone to talk me through the auto land thing.
You've got some minerals going up in that weather, I would of 💩 pants mate.
Yeah I was bricking it mate!
what the app on your phone showing taxi way (sky Demon)
10 degree is not a crosswind lol. Its straight down the runway and actually it makes landing easier. I agree on the though 14 g 19, for a low time pilot its definitely sporty.
& that's why you do stuff that's sporty, with instructors, before you do it by urself, to get comfortable.
& the fuel pump that is on, its no deal at all. I actually don't turn off my fuel pump till altitude. On days I stay in the pattern or do maneuvers, I'll leave it on the whole time.
Great Video mate! just started my PPL, do you have any advice?
CamXplores take each stage at a time. Recognise that it’s 2 steps forward and 1 back, plus that you’ll be thinking you’re never ready...but really you are! Oh and ENJOY IT!
@@TimesWithJames Ahh okay thanks for the advice! And OHHH I WILL :)
Great vid. How much does it cost to do a circuit like that James?
That was probably about £15
2 comments. Fuel pump on in the circuit! You are at a 1000 feet if the pump fails you quick run out of space to deal with it.
I was told top of decent into land. 2nd Full flap should be applied shortly after turning final to get the approach stabilised.
Thanks for the comment. Half the reason I film these is to pick up on cockpit mistakes! 😂
@@TimesWithJames I fly from.Connington and a run down to Duxford with a passenger is a treat.
Fuel pump is on in circuit. It backs up the engine driven fuel pump so there is redundancy in the event of either pump failing.
This is correct procedure for the PA28 Warrior
