Lots of famous landmarks; weather avoids; free navigation and tactical avoid demo; map and stopwatch techniques (including GPS route backup). Starting at RAF Leeming (EGXE), finishing at Bristol airport (EGGD) with a LOC27 approach. Download the MSFS compatible route so that you can follow it in your preferred aircraft! Also available in the download is the Memory-Map Overlay and Map Screenshots.
    Route landmarks include Huddersfield City, Derwent/Ladybower Reservoirs, Jodrell Bank Observatory, Alton Towers, RAF Cosford, Sally's landmark (see Aviator's Map of UK), RAF Hereford, Wye Valley, Avon River and the Clifton Suspension Bridge!

    Earlier today I stumbled onto this and have now watched a number of your videos. They are all excellent. It makes a huge difference to watch someone who has actually flown an aircraft professionally. It is also exciting to discover high speed low level navigation in the sim. I would really like to see a video on how you plan your sorties. thanks

    You have outdone yourself with this video.
    It was interesting, enjoyable, and useful. Looking at you flying inspires me to improve myself.
    I'm way far from being able to handle this jet and it can become very frustrating at times.
    I struggle to trim it right, to manage speeds, to land it decently, every kind of possible mistake, you name it, I do it.
    Please don't ever refrain to explain even the most simple things you do because nothing is obvious for a beginner like me.
    I can't explain enough how much I enjoyed this video.
    I wish you to expand your channel and to have fun with as many different aircraft you like, but the Hawk will always remain my obsession, especially because I suck so much at flying it while you make it look so simple.

    • @cgaviator

      @@cgaviator I do classic regalularity rallies in early Mazda MX-5's. I have 3, a standard one, a slightly modified one and a highly modified one. On a regularity rally one has to be at a certain point at a certain time. Marshals are at secret locations and note the time to the second as one passes. Usually one is required to average 27.5 mph though this can vary. Thus one needs a navigator with map reading skills and also timing skills to ensure one maintains the required average speed. Penalty points are added for each second fast or slow as one passes the marshals timing point. The crew with the lowest points is the winner.

    Hey Chris, my second reply to one of your videos in recent days. I can confirm there is a Stone Tower on Castle Hill overlooking Huddersfield Town. It was opened in June 1899 and is called Victoria Tower. From memory there's been various settlements and forts on the site over the last few hundred years and the site has been settled for at least 4,000 years. Also, randomly did a motorbike trackday at RAF Leeming in 2010 where I had a huge moment and had an excursion at the end of runway 34 after completely over cooking it on a Suzuki gsxr 750. Loving the videos pal, commentary and insight is fantastic and (take this the way it's intended haha) your videos make for very chilled out viewing with random music on and commentary off. Looking forward to trying some of your techniques in my own flying though I imagine I'll be task saturated before I've even reached top of climb. If you had checklists or literature to share I'm sure people would consider a pattern or maybe visiting a webshop of some sort :)
