Another fantastic video Ben! Microlights look so much fun. East Tisted looks lovely, and that formation flight looked seriously cool!
Thanks Noel. Yeh I really enjoy them. I’ll get a lesson in a PA28 for the channel at some point for comparison I think. Yeh - superb thing that RV.....got to tisted in nearly half the time!
I agree that West Tisted is awesome - and they hold a vintage aircraft fly-in once a year which is a hoot. Fantastic, immaculate, loooooooong strip and enormous parking area in front of enormous hangars around back of the trees....and all privately owned. My dream fulfilled - when the lottery comes up trumps ;o) Colemore Common is a cute place too - usually deserted!
Safety comm can be a menace. Lat year I flew to Farway Common. Announcing my arrival I was told told to hold as an aircraft was stuck on the threshold. Strange as it looked deserted. After circling a few minutes I called again and was asked if | could see a particular aircraft in bound, and I was number 2 behind it. I saw the aircraft, but some distance away and not flying towards the airfield. After a few more minutes confusion, it was actually Branscombe, who were hosting the LAA fly-in, replying to my calls. This despite me prefixing all calls with "Farway Common Traffic"! In their hubris they assumed any call that day was to them.
Great videos. Good for microlighting. Good for Kemble flying club. Would love to see you land on Lundy! It's good fun. Donemit a couple of times in a Eurostar. Always makes DY nervous!
Excellent Video👍👍 How did you get QFE of West Tisted? Not much info available for this Airstrip.
Great video Ben. Going into West Tisted next weekend. You mentioned being high and using a lot of the runway. I am not an instructor but in that aircraft (and others) if you plan to land on the numbers and then have an engine failure... don't be worried about using the runway length if it is expedient and safe to do so I would say. I used to do a lot of short grass fields and was always proud by how short I could get it in until an airline pilot made the point about an engine failure on approach - not unheard of as this is where changes to power etc. are made.
Just started flying lessons in the C42. Really enjoying your videos, thanks 😊
I have just started flying lessons in the C42 and your videos really help in prep for my flights out of Popham.
Awesome video again Ben, and never mind about floating down the runway, they charge you for all of it, may as well use all of it ;).
Joe Richardson hahaha good Point ! My excuse is that I wanted to land near my friends....👀
Great video, bit like medical triage, the ones making all the noise are probably alright when they can say they've crashed!
Ha thanks very much!! Very kind.
Love your vids Ben. Just started learning in a Skyranger. How do you get your GoPro to pick up the audio? Just so I can do the same and watch back to help self critique
Thanks Rob! Yeh it’s great to debrief - with audio! It’s crucial that element I think. Best you have a look at this video - th-cam.com/video/r9eJKtKYufU/w-d-xo.html
Cheers!
accident report of the crash? out of curiosity?
Great video Ben. I'm no TH-camr but as someone that enjoys and watches alot of flying videos on TH-cam can I make a suggestion? As you are trying to build up a followship please could you cut back on the adverts, really ruins your excellent video I know the revenue you are likely to get as you are building the channel will be low and you're far better off getting subs and views at the beginning which are more likely without the annoying ads. This is by no means a diss on your content as I find it engaging, interesting and relevant so please keep it up. I'm sure you'll get plenty of subs and views in future that will make the ads pay. Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback Terry. I’m very new to the adverts side of things on TH-cam. They just gave me the option to ‘monetise ‘ and I swiped yes, though I think I can reduce them. I’ll have a play and do let me know how you find it in future. And you’re quite right - certainly won’t be paying the bills for a while haha. Though for now, I’m glad you think the content is good enough to get you through to the skip button haha. Cheers
@@BenAtkinsonVideos I only subscribe to good channels :-)
What are you on about?? There is an ad at the beginning that you can clear after a few seconds. The same as for nearly every vid on TH-cam.
@@MrAlwaysBlue when I viewed it I had an ad at the start and 2 during the video. I really like the content and just my opinion which I mentioned to Ben, chill man I want him to be successful which is why I mentioned it.
Lovely video Ben and what an airfield! Is your licence NPPL(M) or PPL(M) could I ask?
Cheers buddy! NPPL(m) is me. www.kembleflyingclub.com for more info on that if you’re keen!
@@BenAtkinsonVideos - Great stuff, thanks Ben. I'm up in the North East, so looking at doing NPPL(M) in Eurostars, at Eshott Airfield in picturesque Northumberland! Thanks for the reply and keep up the great work!
Thank you Ben - lovin' your work mate, and love the look of those aeroplanes you fly - out of interest what sort of hourly rate are we talking up at Kemble?? I quite fancy doing my tail wheel rating next summer and get to some of those strips in the cub, a whole new type of flying awaits me thinks......
Thanks Andy! Means a lot coming from you buddy. Just settling on the sofa to watch some of your videos 👍 Soo I’m paying about £70 an hour wet for the C42 there. There’s a monthly hangar fee too for the members club we have. 12litres an hour fuel burn and 75/95 knots cruise (depending on which aircraft) - all good fun. Please do come and have a flight when we’re allowed too! Yeh tail wheel in a cub - ideal. My version is doors open in the skyranger !
@@BenAtkinsonVideos Sounds like pretty good pricing for proper flying that - if only I lived nearer to Kemble...I suppose I could fly there in the PA28 then rent the C42??? Oh hang on, that might defeat the object.....and yes defo let's fly!
Hi Ben another great video. I am so missing G-KFCA, no sign at all of a return to training at the mo :-( after being so close to my GST before this lock down. But at least I can watch these, which kind of keeps the flying brain ticking over, so thanks :-)
Hi Andy,
I'm sorry to hear that, so near yet so far. I'm sure you'll pick it up again.
My mate is in the same boat, at Kemble. Both our dad's, plus a.n.other used to fly (PPLs) and share a Cessna. He's been poorly too.
He and I use various flight SIMS and joy sticks, yokes, plus pedal rudders it all helps.
He has a SIM for a Eurostar (G-CEFZ) and a C42 (G-KFCA), has configured them as best he can and he has a reasonable model of Kemble airfield too. It all helps.
I think that my mate said one of his instructors is a whizz with flight SIMS too.
Good luck to you, hope things improve soon.
@@musoseven8218 Thanks Muso, I have the C42 in X Plane and completely agree, I have found it a great help. The only problem being it was years of flying in the SIM, that drove me to learn to fly for real and I guess the SIM never quite felt the same again after that :-). Hopefully we can all get back to the sky's soon.
Hey Andy!! Great to hear from you I was wondering how you were getting on. Yeh - tough time to break in training. Just keep reminding yourself of all the checks and processes of flying - you’ll soon get back to it. And quite right - sims are good!
Muso Seven yes! Lee is a superb instructor at Kemble and runs the radio course I advertised recently. And happy to talk sims !
Thanks to your videos I’ve been in contact with the BMAA to find out what I need to do to revalidate my NPPL. I don’t think my wife will thank you though. Just found out that Redlands where I passed my GST is no more apparently!
Another great video Ben. I don’t know why you are fretting over numbers you have had 350+ views in the first hour and nearly 1.6k subscribers. Only seems like yesterday that we complemented you on 1000 subs. That says it all Ben and highlights your excellent content and high class production. Well done and keep them coming!
Ahh very kind Tim. Yeh! Posting regularly seems to have helped now we can get back flying again! Looking forward to your video if you’ve one planned for tomorrow?
Ben Atkinson Yep, another one tomorrow. Every Friday for 4 years! 🙂
Jodel Flyer incredible achievement! Keep it up. Always look forward to it
Totally agree with Tim, Ben! 👌🏻
Is there anyway to own a private c42? Or do they have to be owned buy a club for you to rent?
Yeh of course there’s a good second hand market and you can buy them new no problem!
Nice video dude what happened to the guy at Popham?
Private Pilot Vlogs thanks mate. I think (!) it was a brake ceasing up on take off. Don’t quote me ..! He was ok
So when are you gonna do your tail wheel training and learn to fly a tail dragger
Valid question...
It's all I would want to fly tripods don't appeal at all but it's PPG for me first well unless I win the lottery 🤣🤣
BBFSGaming whenever Jonny wants to teach me haha.
Lovely stuff Ben. Air to air stuff is so much fun!
Nice video #briantbradshaw
When I saw the title of your video, I said to my wife, “I have a number for you to call when you’re ready to copy”.
I think “I’ve crashed” probably tops that.
Looks like such a good trip and glad to hear that other chap was OK. How long did it take you to get down there?
Yeh honestly - it was really very good. Thanks for watching and commenting. About 45 mins all in really - 22 minutes for the Rv6 😂
Good video Ben, not so good for the crash victims. Hope they walked away with only the experience. Cheers Colin
When are you coming upto Sywell?
Gaaah sooon!! Need some nice weekend flying to make a bit of a day of it!
Great video, again. I'm mid QXC and stuck until we're released to train again...your flying in that great weather is helping to keep the inspiration up! Cheers.
wow -that was great .I have been watching your content a lot recently as i have kind of forgotten how it is up there-Due to covid it been such a long time !
Great video! Noob question here: how do you get the QFE for West Tisted if it’s an uncontrolled aerodrome?
Get QNH from departing field or LARS, check elevation on map of destination field, take it off the height on altimeter = QFE. You can do it by working on 30 feet per 1 mb but I find this way works faster and easier! Sometimes have to do this in the evening if ATC have gone home. Say I'm flying at 2500 feet on QNH, I know airfield elevation is 500, I knock off 500 from the altimeter, that's my QFE. Works well when I've done it. Just requires a little care adjusting altimeter if it's bumpy!
Dave Colgate Ah makes sense, thanks!
Sean Duffy hey Sean - as Dave mentioned above - I start with the Kemble QFE, I know that’s 430ft ASL, then from that in the air I can change to QNE by adding 430ft to the altimeter. And do the reverse for West Tisted but remove their ASL height of about 500ft I think. But yeh - you get the gist...
Don't bother much with QFE here in New Zealand, just QNH.
Hi Ben. Have booked my first flight for next Saturday in a C-42. I have a lapsed PPL, last flew 16 years ago. This little aircraft looks a lot of fun, but will no doubt be different to fly than the Cessnas and Pipers from years ago. Flying from Upham in Hampshire. Happy landings.
Solent flight
Cracking video. Just found your channel. Nearly flew that aircraft at KFC when I was there for the cotswold flying scholarship but ended up in the Eurostar instead
Ahh awesome. You find plenty of Eurostar footage here too. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant vid again, mate! I'm close to my Dutch check ride, so hopefully within the next 1,5 months I have my Dutch license (still have a German one) and can think about heading to the UK again 😉 We should really meet up this flying season, right?! 🤙🏻
ForFunFlyer ah mate yes totally!! Of course!! Thanks for watching Jolmer 👏
@@BenAtkinsonVideos My pleasure!
It's great following your trips. Seemed quite a busy traffic day.
Thanks mate 👌 yeh it was actually. A bit about !
Nice editing, great intro and a voiceover in places. My dad once had to replace all the fuel pipe in a c42, bit of a pain as it went under the floor. What radio are you using? We’re having great succes with the Yaesu fta-250.
MrMan123 ooh good question off the top of my head MT-01? But I’d have to check it. Thanks for watching and appreciate the comments re production!
Another professional performance Ben, great to watch 👌
And another lovely strip you've discovered.
Kevin Chilton thanks Kevin! Lovely place
Can't wait to get back in the air. That little strip looked like challenge, but a lot of fun!
Ah it was great - and a 1000m of grass is ideal! Just needed a touch of headwind to get me down haha
Don't want to hear indeed, but it does mean you've survived.
Mark's Modelling Ramblings very good point !
Great video Ben as always! Glad the pilot at Popham was ok!!
Yeh me too! Thanks for watching!!
Are you allowed to say "taking off" at Kemble? I don't fly from uncontrolled airports very often, thought we could only use "taking off" after ATC have said it first.
Hey - the airfield is closed at the moment so there is no controller, so we’re making blind calls. Normally you’re right tho. We’d need to wait until FISO says “take off at your discretion” and id reply “taking off G-XX”. And when asking for info to depart we wouldn’t use the phrase take off - but ask for departure info. Or whatever it is you’re after.
makes sense!
Nice flight great video keeping us all flying during lockdown!
Ha nice way to think of it. Thanks very much. Really good fun to do. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Really enjoying your videos, keep it up!
Thanks Peter!
Cracking video as usual, beautiful strip that Tisted is!
The pioneer of airstrips speaks out. Thanks Keir
Ben, another great video, keep em coming thick and fast.. 👍👌👌. Look forward to the next one. 👊🏼
Thanks mate. Will keep trying!
Ben Atkinson: you doing great job mate👏👏
Cool video Ben. I meant to thank you last week for focusing on the airliners parked around the airfield.
Thanks for watching Jed! More of that to come
Ben Atkinson It’s all appreciated, especially as I’m stuck on the ground. I live under one of the West London helicopter routes and I get too excited for a man of my years at the slightest hint of something overflying.
Hi Ben,
Love your channel - fantastic production on your videos to compliment your flying. May I ask what microphone you use for your voiceovers?
Ah awesome to hear thanks Toby. I am in the lucky position of working in a radio studio with 4 pro studio microphones in - I can find out the exact model of you want? I also have used the same handheld recorder that I use for plane headset recording - the zoom h1n. Does an ok job and if you have something like Final cut or PP then you can crank the EQ in the post production. Hope that helps!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@BenAtkinsonVideos
Thanks for your reply, it sounds very professional!
If you have a luxury of a radio studio, do you mind me asking if you're a DJ, sound engineer etc. or just have a mate in the business?
Toby Bennett cheers mate! Yeh I’m on air as a presenter. th-cam.com/video/S4bmV9OFlMc/w-d-xo.html
Well done Ben, clocking up the hours now! I think your first landing looked great, made a really good photo!
Thanks mate - yeh it was ok, pretty smooth - just really long..tho I could’ve claimed I was going for the photo, couldn’t I?? 😂
Hi Ben, that's the idea 'I meant to do that'. Ha ha!
Whats the red pully thing behind you? Not got that on the C42 I fly.
1:46 The brief text explains possibly too quickly I think! Haa. It’s a parachute handle. This model is fitted with one. Useful in structural failure or for a passenger if I become unconscious. Thanks for watching and commenting Craig.
Ben Atkinson ohhh no! Completely missed the big arrow explaining it haha. I love your videos, they’re giving me ideas where to fly.
nice one Ben! Keep up the good work!
Thanks for watching and commenting Kevin!
I hope the pilot was ok!
He later said “I’m ok “ but that contained some sensitive info so I edited out. I think (!) it was a brake ceasing up on take off
Great Video Ben.
Thanks Sean!
Great video
Cheers Jon!
Why did you use flaps on a hard runway? No need in C42..? Paul
Paul Wear hey mate - with no wind - full flap will help bring it down a bit quicker and I still landed long! 😂 Ha. Definitely a day for full flap in my opinion. Thanks for watching Paul 👍
What’s wrong with some dirty flaps mate?
Ben sorry - meant on take off, not landing. 👍
Paul Wear you’re absolutely right! Could’ve gone flapless there - especially 1 up. With no headwind a little flap can help. But certainly didn’t need them to be fair 1000m of grass! Ha.
No so bad when you hear that. The worst thing here is May Day May Day May Day and then nothing and no reply (well that was the one I hear when in the RAF, never forgot it), thankfully they flew Martin Baker.
Good point. It can always be worse !
And thanks for watching!
@@BenAtkinsonVideos At least he had the Matin Baker option, a bit like you in the C42 :-)
