Welcome back Ben! Great to see you back again. Good flight and the guys at Liverpool seem really friendly, so I look forward to flying up that way in the future👍
I'm taking my PPL lessons from Halfpenny Green, I can't wait to start flying again. I think the Golf - Romeo Bravo was the plane I flew for my introduction flight.
Welcome back Ben, some rare COVID good news!! Good to see the confidence is still oozing from you. Please keep us all updated with your career plans once the madness has subdued. Don’t forget your flight sim fans should you consider some tutorials!! Keith
Always enjoyed your videos, thanks for coming back to the ever hungry TH-cam audience! Tell us about the Falcon, fun? Or are you saving that for the book? ; -) Not as good as GA stuff though, right? Whilst you've been away, Rory's been and learnt how to go up and down and round and round in Helicopters ... so we needed someone to redress the balance again with real aeroplanes, welcome back!
Really like this video . Both HG and Blackpool Airports have close affections for me . Blackpool was where I had my very first flight as a kid , and HG was my home airfield when I lived in the UK before relocating to Australia many years ago . Thanks for stirring the memory box , and my best wishes .
Great video as always Ben, and good to see you back. Sadly the only time I can exercise PIC these days is in flight sims but hoprfully some RW right hand seat flying once the restrictions are fully lifted.
Finally a flow in the good POB content again :-) Really enjoy your flights and procedures. How often do you typically do FREDA checks, and do you include lights/switches in these checks or? I'm struggling with finding a good flow check method or this Mnemonics alternative, any inputs about your procedures are much appreciated.
Videos will be back out to normal now! I usually do a FREDA check after departure and then at any significant periods, for example a zone transit. If not, aim to do them every 20 minutes minimum.
@@PlaneOldBen I will try to adapt this procedure. I think it is a great way to remember to scan the engine instruments, and thinking ahead in regards to COM settings etc. Do you include a check of switches (to catch if you forgot to turn of landing light etc.?) Thank you for your answers, and the excellent video inspiration :-)
Ace Videos. Im doing my PPL H from Barton atm. I noticed you didnt speak to Warton when you where approaching from the south. Was it closed? Last approach I did into there from Southport was very busy on the radio, speaking to Warton just before Blackpool.
@@RedBoxFishing typically it’s anywhere from 150-220 per hour. This could be with fuel or without fuel and depending on the condition/capability of the aircraft
@@PlaneOldBen thats great, I about to do my first solo for my ppl and then gonna go on to do the rest of my commercial training later on ( I live in the uk)
Great to see you back Ben.

Great to see you back mate, I saw Flybe or similar might be starting back up.... Hope you can get back to commercial flying.
I’ve got a new flying job which I love, won’t be going back to Flybe.
Good to see you back Ben, where you been hiding ? 😉
Brilliant video mate!
Thank you, Lewis!
Been there and drive pass Wolverhampton Airport when travelling from Telford to Wombourne, near by. Always look up to see if there are planes.
I really enjoy visiting as there’s a great view from the cafe and the tower are always helpful and welcoming, pop in next time you drive by.
Great to be seeing another video 👍 keep up the good work
Thank you very much, Harry!
Great video Ben, glad flying is allowed again. Can’t wait to get back into training when I eventually get my medical...👍
Thanks Duncan, hope you get your medical sorted!!
Nice video Ben! What a friendly & helpful controller at Liverpool... 😃✈️
Thanks George, they’re always super helpful!
I’ll have to pop by there myself one day! Good to see you back - look forward to the next one 👍
yessss new video
There will be many more to come!
Great video as usual 👍
Thanks Ben, good luck finishing off your PPL!
Most enjoyable, as always. I wish I could claim the Money back for every time I have been over that Toll Bridge 😊.
Haha hope it isn’t too pricey!
Nice video, glad to be back in the sky. Fly from EGSG
Thanks, Kyle!

@@PlaneOldBen Thank you so much! 😁☺️
Awesome video
Thanks, Jack!
Top notch
Thanks, Will! Really pleased to be back making videos.
What planes do the flightpath flying club operate
Sickkkkk
Ace Videos. Im doing my PPL H from Barton atm. I noticed you didnt speak to Warton when you where approaching from the south. Was it closed? Last approach I did into there from Southport was very busy on the radio, speaking to Warton just before Blackpool.
Yes it was a weekend and they were closed, good luck with your PPL!
@@PlaneOldBen Thanks. Col.
Nice Video!
Cheers JJ!
Are you still flying for Cobham? And if so will they let you film flying one of their jets? Or has that come to an end?
Ben, currently thinking of doing my PPL. HOw much does it cost if you wanted to rent a 172 for a day?
Probs over £170, you're better off hiring a 152 If they have one
@@thomasmetcalfe6640 is this for the day? Or for the hour?
@@RedBoxFishing typically it’s anywhere from 150-220 per hour. This could be with fuel or without fuel and depending on the condition/capability of the aircraft
Have you finished you CPL yet
Two years ago!
@@PlaneOldBen thats great, I about to do my first solo for my ppl and then gonna go on to do the rest of my commercial training later on ( I live in the uk)
Fantastic, good luck with your training!
@@PlaneOldBen thx and do you have any tips for the radios, they seem to speak rlly fast, I already have 15 hours but its still hard to understand them
I missed you.
🛩✈✈✈✈✈
Thanks, Ken!
Is the plane owned by an air club, or is it yours?
It’s owned by High-G Flight Training at Blackpool Airport, check their website for hire details.
Nice :-)
Thanks mate!
Wheeeyyyy yam yam lol
Nice video but waaaaaaaaaaaay too many camera angles
Egg Bow
Welcome back.
Cheers, Jonathan!
