    Very nice flight, very nice weather and a very good video. Well done Adam and Dan! Looking forward to the return trip if there is a video of that? Take care and stay safe.

      Jodel Flyer thanks Tim. Great sharing the work load with Dan no return video as all my batteries were dead as I forgot to bring my European plug adapter to charge 🙈

    Nice video, thanks for posting.
    To answer aid the ‘initial call’ confusion. CAP 413 Radiotelephony Manual, Section 3.28 states to include three items in the initial call; ATS unit name, Aircraft callsign, type of service / clearance / information requested.
    Keep up the good work and keep safe during these crazy times.

    Hi guys great video, I’ve flown this a few time’s now, I thought the PA28 had retractable landing gear I did notice the front wheel was still down good luck Stu

    • @PrivatePilotFlightVlogs
      @PrivatePilotFlightVlogs  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The gear is fixed on this aircraft however there are PA28s with retractable gear I believe.

    This is great, i'm a filmmaker so really enjoyed the production but in my spare time i'm a 'pixel' pilot flying in MSFS2020 mainly in VR so I really like these videos which show rw pilots using radio comms and how they approach cross country flying. You're both excellent pilots to effortlessly fly across the pond, pick up ATC which in parts was hard to hear and have two very happy punters in the back. Great stuff! SUBBED!

      It was a known problem but it settles down later the flight so no problem. 👍

    Another nice video Adam. With that ground speed, I’m guessing the crossing didn’t take much time at all. What was the issue with your flight plan?

    • @PrivatePilotFlightVlogs
      @PrivatePilotFlightVlogs  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      PPL Video Diary it was super quick will have to look at the actual time for you! We weren’t sure but I had to delay it before we took off by a hour so we think that might have been the reason.

  • @craig221081
    @craig221081 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Quick question, why did you undertake the flight with a faulty AI? You can see it bouncing all over the place and for a trip to Le Touquet where you could have encountered cloud, especially over the channel, I personally wouldn't have taken the risk. Granted an AI is not part of the VFR MEL but even still.

    • @PrivatePilotFlightVlogs
      @PrivatePilotFlightVlogs  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      craig221081 it’s legal to fly with a faulty AI, and we know the aircraft rectifies it’s self after a while. I wouldn’t have entered cloud I don’t have a rating, plus the weather was CAVOK across the channel so all good. Thanks for watching 👍

    • @lashamgliders
      @lashamgliders 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Agreed, good video but that landing could've turned into a full scale PIO until it was thankfully saved (worth a TH-cam search) and I imagine the under-wing footage would've caught the nose oleo hard at work. As the song goes... you can always go around! Thanks for sharing.

    Great video Adam! I’ve got two questions.. 1). What is the name of the restaurant where you had that “Pizza”? (clipped at the beginning) 2).What was the total flight time...? (I’m starving and can’t wait to get there 🍕👐🏻)

    • @PrivatePilotFlightVlogs
      @PrivatePilotFlightVlogs  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Sorry for the delayed response. I can't see the name on my bank statement it says Le New Jean2!? It was on the main drag, looked like a pub. Total flight time was approx 4 hours.

      @@catabaticanabatic3800😂 You talk likes he’s entering cloud 5 secs after take off! Its VFR the AI is not even legally required. However crossing the channel with that thing is a risk as you can often get haze and loss of horizon.
