Not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new series on Instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend lately xD
Take a breather Stef , it gets easier from here . Just keep the green stuff on your right and the blue stuff on your left side . Cheers mate and best wishes .
Definitely track up here. To me, it just makes the most sense. Everything on the map is in the same location as on the ground in relation to the plane.
North up, but when I am "not lost" I try and orient the map to orient myself and line up some landmarks to get truly not lost, then it's back to North up. You know you are famous when the controller recognizes EYZ and says he loves the videos Steph!
It is mental revising for exams and passing them using pens, paper, rulers, calculators, stopwatches, maps, head scratching and a compass just to download SkyDeamon on your Iphone. Great video.
Ha - I use the same “they’re odd in the Eastern Subs” memory jogger! Mostly because they are odd in the Eastern Subs! And definitely North Up maps. Cant wait for Ep #3
North up definitely. After a long career as an airline pilot, I can say hand on heart, the thought of "why on earth am I flying today" has been pondered on numerous occasions. This is the reason that when I quit flying I still miss the physical act of aviating but not the "being the airline pilot".
I've flown gliders out of Bennalla quite a bit, and the Albury airspace always seemed to get in the friggen way... The only time I have been completely disorientated in the glider was flying North from Benalla on a very hazy day, and getting to one small town, doing some thermalling circles, then coming out and realising I have no idea which way is North or South. The ground features all look the same around that area once you get away from the rivers. A very weird feeling... luckily I was allowed to use my GPS so found which way to go in the end!
Track up. Odd people fly east in Canada too. :-) Love the flying and the scenery. I've driven through Echuca. Had my first view of the Magellanic Clouds just south of there.
A wise man once said: A man who flies should have been born with wings! "Just kidding Stef, not many of us pilots like admitting to something we stuffed up or "we were never lost, just temporarily unsure of position" etc. I love the way that you tell all and show any error that you may of made. I believe that's what makes us good pilots and shows excellent airmanship. Cruising levels are not mandatory below 5000' however should be used where practicable. I am with you on the map thingy, whether it's on paper or tablet, I'm also North up !, not that I use them much lol. I love your shows Stef, especially for those who are just learning to fly, extremely informative. Cheers John from Riddell.
Hey Stefan. Love the content. Just wanted to comment of your fuel testing. When you drain the fuel I noticed you smelt it, and I assume your checking for water. If you fill a used fuel drain with water and smell it it was always smell like avgas. I find filling it half way and shaking it tells me a lot more than smell. Droplets of water will stick to the sides of the tester whereas avgas will run down the sides. Just an extra safety tip in case it does happen to be all water. Safe flying my man ✈
Track up when going cross country (electronic maps make it so easy - with chart I alternate as required as reading upside down is just a further level of complexity). North up when thermalling (otherwise the electronic chart goes into a spin and makes me dizzy looking at it !!!). Very kind of the controller to offer an alternative reporting point. It is one of those awkward things when one is not familiar with an area and local reporting points (along with correct pronunciation !). The exercise gives me renewed respect for those WWII navigators operating in the dark & under fire. Great VLOGs. Very entertaining !
Wow, very interesting Leg that was. Correct me if you think my assumption is incorrect. I think the majority of your Australian subscribers, if they fly are VFR pilots and would find this a great video to watch, I have and I can't wait for the last Leg. Wonderful going old school navigation and thankful for today's technology where we have the magenta line as a tool to prove our Pilotage skill and improve, if your honest with yourself :) Good job Stef and thank you for the videos.
North up. A fun fact on the border is that an appeal to high court in 1980 ruled that the NSW jurisdiction extends to the top of the river bank on the southern side of the river when a man was shot on the bank of the river on the southern side. They ruled the shooter was in Victoria but the victim was in NSW as he was standing below the top of the river bank.
Hi Stef. Another great video. After noticing a round lake in this episode I had to search the border on google to find it. Lake Boga. Actually was a flying boat base. Learnt more then I expected 👍. Thanks
Track up for me. You can always move the map to read it. The wing camera always makes it look that you don't run the centre line n take off and landing. Enjoy your vids though.
I'm a 'North Up' maps kinda guy, can't read upside down too well! Thanks for the adventure and for "keeping it real", showing your mistakes & anxious moments throughout this flight and all of your other vids, and for not being a cowboy! This Vic series reminds me of my CPL training a few years ago, plenty of map reading (before efbs were as common), "whoops" moments, and low level diversions around SA's Murray River and Yorke Peninsula. It's been nearly 2yrs since my last flight (life getting in the way), hopefully 2021 I can get back up/out there. Keep the content coming mate :)
I used to do a lot of hiking as a kid/youth and I hunted in some pretty wild bush. The orienteering for me was always NORTH UP for a map a compass and some landmarks. However, I found that in aviation, you don't have time to face NORTH and turn around in a fixed position with your map and compass... therefore I resorted to HEADING UP navigation. Give it a go!
Hi Stef...you close proximity passing traffic reignited my learning regarding cruising levels. Under 5000ft is the clue I think. Good refresher. Cruising level AIP ENR 1.7 VFR flights must be flown at a cruising level appropriate to its magnetic track according to the following diagram and the table of cruising levels: when cruising level is 5000 ft or higher; or when practicable when cruising level is below 5000 ft (CAR 173).
Cockups a daily event..........."its 25 degrees here" and I am watching the snow falling! I live in Nottingham locked down no flying allowed. If possible flying Nottingham border not far and because of the airspace not probable to fly the border! Great series Stef, looking forward to the next one
Stef - these last two videos are just fantastic! I'll never be anything but an x-plane FlightSIM pilot in my Cessna 172, but my gosh following you on your adventures is a treat. I thought one of your last video of 2020 when you said nothing was brilliant, but this trip around Victoria is wonderful. Looking forward to the final episode.
I definitely go for track up during navigation flights, but I always draw a compass rose next to each leg to minimize confusing about north-east-south-west :-)
Looks like you flew almost directly over the location that I pulled my Ultralight literally out of a barn, put it on a trailer and took it 800km home to regional NSW. Great stuff Stef.
Just for info, Lake Mulwala at Yarrawonga is a processing weir and as such, is full at all times other than infrequent times when the water is lowered for maintenance.
Hey mate. Fun video to watch as I'm about to pass off my RPL nav endorsement. CNAV exam next week then check ride and I should be ready to fly the boarder too 👍. Track up 😁
Most GPS screens (in the aircraft I fly anyway) are wider than they are tall, so if flying track up you have loads of map detail either side of you, but have to zoom out to see where it is you are going. Personally I prefer north up for this reason, especially since most of my flying in the local area is broadly east/west. I also keep north up with my car (Ford 2009) GPS, as it doesn’t have a compass needle on the display and my car doesn’t have a DI or standby compass on the dashboard either. I find it’s good to know your rough compass orientation as this stops you going round in circles and keeps you heading broadly in the right direction. Finally if you have a map book rather than a chart (e.g. in a car) i find it’s far easier to keep this north up too - keeping the book in its normal orientation, stopping the pages from randomly turning if on edge. Just my 2p worth from here in the U.K. Hangar doors firmly closed and all recreational flying grounded until we get out of lockdown..... sometime in 2023 probably 🤬🤬🤬
I've always been taught north up, but then again, I'm not in aviation, nor have ever piloted or navigated an aircraft, and thus I was taught for ground based navigation.
Good Morning Stef! :-) Episode #2 was fantastic my friend! Well done. The things that I love about your videos is your professionalism and humility. The old adage is true, 'If in doubt, don't!' Keep up the great work - The scenery was awesome, particularly around Albury! Have a great weekend!
I prefer North up but instructor always has me move it to track up - I just find it easier to follow north up as I don't have to keep 'adjusting' the map.
I’ve almost gotten my nose wheel stuck in the grass, but I stopped just in time. Unfortunately I had more pushing to do but I least I would of been in the grass in which on the other side as a parking lot down a slope.
I am loving these videos. Thanks very much. I am still getting my x-country nav and quickly learning that paper map orientation can be a pain in the butt whether or not you are a north-up kind of bloke. On a leg I am trying to be careful about putting the map down in the same same orientation I was last reading it. That way when I pick it up again there is less disorientation and map origami involved.
Hey Stef, really enjoyed this one with my home made banana cake ( made with coconut flour) and my coffee. When instrument rated as you are, i guess you wouldn't be doing many VFR flights. Stop revive survive, not so easy to do when piloting an aircraft. Thank you very much mate, you have made my day.
17:05 - bless you Steff! Great video! I really cant wait next episode. Please add some info about this flight: flight time, fuel consumed, flight distance, etc... lot of data please! ;)
Well done Stefan, looking forward very much to the next one, and any conclusions you arrive at. VFR harder than IFR? Etc...we have become very dependent on electronic navigation.....
Haha hot start a SR22 i don't know, but a SR20 was instructed to fuel pump in boost for 1 sec then ON, but never worked, in the end i justed ended up having the pump to ON without the boost part and slightly less than 100% mixture, worked like a charm
Hemispherical flying below 5000ft is not mandatory. AIP ENR 1.7-5, para 3.1.4. But yeah, I wouldnt fly at exactly 500ft level. Great journey! Well done and thanks for sharing.
Also “Khancoban Pondage is a three kilometre long lake that forms part of the Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme and around its foreshores lays the town of Khancoban, a town built specifically to house the workers of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, which commenced in 1949. “
North up all the way. thats what i was taught anyway. (unless im lost and need to orientate to look for features haha). awesome episode mate! Also odds and evens are only required by law above 5000ft, it IS good pratice, however, to do it below
At 9.15, you say that the VIC/NSW Border is "right down the middle" but this is NOT the case. New South Wales (the original Aussie Colony) OWNS ALL OF THE MURRAY RIVER to where it 'laps on the Vic side'. And. Re the HUME FREEWAY, it connects Melbourne to Sydney. Know ubiquitously as 'The Hume' or the 'extended Sydney Road' or in reverse 'the Road to Melbourne', or 'H31'/'F31', it's the main Interstate Freeway in all of Australia, traffic and populationwise, but, not the longest. Every Aussie should drive 'The Hume; at least once. AND RE MAP Orientation. I'm North Up when VFR. Thanks for your EXCELLENT video - adventure!
Loved the long haul vids Stef. So inspirational. Can't wait to start lessons this year and you're a huge part of that. Thanks so much for all the great vids. Hope to share a coffee with you at an airport one day 👍🏻
Fun challenge. I prefer north up always, as I feel it helps my situational awareness. Can't wait to get wings again, and the gliding season is not far away here in northern Europe.
thats the result of constant pressure haters put on you on this platform. I guess you already knew people would come along and criticize you not even flying themselves. Pls ignore the expectations of viewers that only moan when the reallity of airspace like safety margins or airspaces is more important than their entertainment. Your message to not act like a hero and to make flying more authentic is great as you show that flying is no game but also about safety and I want to see anyone judging this flight acctually do better RESPONSIVLY. Youre a great pilot and this is a challange so its no pitty if there are deviations.
Thanks for following the adventure. During the day I’d only use oxygen above 10,000’. I have a pulse oximeter to measure my blood oxygen saturation levels at any time though. But I don’t think I’ve ever used O2 below 10K.
18:37 loved that ATC appreciation 👍
North up when things are going well.
Track up when I’m lost.
Facts
Not sure if you guys gives a damn but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can stream pretty much all the new series on Instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend lately xD
@Gavin Edgar yea, have been watching on InstaFlixxer for years myself =)

Stef that lake at 4:30 is Lake Boga which used to be a Catalina flying boat base during WWII.
Wow, very interesting Leg that was. Correct me if you think my assumption is incorrect. I think the majority of your Australian subscribers, if they fly are VFR pilots and would find this a great video to watch, I have and I can't wait for the last Leg. Wonderful going old school navigation and thankful for today's technology where we have the magenta line as a tool to prove our Pilotage skill and improve, if your honest with yourself :) Good job Stef and thank you for the videos.
Great Video! It takes a good pilot to admit their mistakes and lead from them.
As a controller, Northup; has a pilot track up. Also, really enjoying this series. It’s because I don’t know a lot about Australian landscape.
North up.

Glad , of course, you’re being safe, but so much for flying by map alone! 😊
North up for me. I think you are too hard on yourself but your honesty is refreshing...
Def north up!
Great video Stef.
North up all the way- but my friends recently discovered this on a car trip and were horrified 😂
Great vid!

Thanks for being honest, Stef. Really appreciate it! I'm about to finish my PPL, so I'm paying close attention :-).
Looks like you flew almost directly over the location that I pulled my Ultralight literally out of a barn, put it on a trailer and took it 800km home to regional NSW. Great stuff Stef.
I use north up too and I was always told 'odd people live in the east' (That dosen't sound great out of context).
Dude, cool series, I Have recently Flown from Albury to Bairnsdale myself, great to see another youtuber flying in Australia. Keep it up:)
Stef, one of your very best videos... humility suits you well. Thanks! Wayne (DA40 KSBA)

This series easily ends up in the top 5 of all the videos you’ve made and actually that’s not easy at all. Really enjoying it.
I've always been taught north up, but then again, I'm not in aviation, nor have ever piloted or navigated an aircraft, and thus I was taught for ground based navigation.
Good Morning Stef! :-)
Episode #2 was fantastic my friend! Well done. The things that I love about your videos is your professionalism and humility. The old adage is true, 'If in doubt, don't!'
Keep up the great work - The scenery was awesome, particularly around Albury!
Have a great weekend!
Hey Stef.....hope ya day has been ok mate, the weather is nasty here in South Australia Adelaide.... hope you were on the ground 👍👍👍
I prefer North up but instructor always has me move it to track up - I just find it easier to follow north up as I don't have to keep 'adjusting' the map.
A wise man once said “it’s hard to be first, but it’s even harder to be last”
What a trip Stef! I just got back from Mildura & Robe SA in a A36.... You must go to Robe at some point!
9:40 my golf course that I am a member at and have only played once. I live in Sydney
Track up for me in Southern California. Thanks for the video!
Track up or north up? I’ve been wondering that for a while. I prefer Track up while navigating but north up when planning
Thank you for doing this, super educational and fun to watch!
I’ve almost gotten my nose wheel stuck in the grass, but I stopped just in time. Unfortunately I had more pushing to do but I least I would of been in the grass in which on the other side as a parking lot down a slope.
North up. Oh and when your country is a couple of long thin islands, the VFR cruising altitudes are based on North/South rather then East/West
Soooooooo close to 100k SUBS! Been watching since 10K
I am loving these videos. Thanks very much. I am still getting my x-country nav and quickly learning that paper map orientation can be a pain in the butt whether or not you are a north-up kind of bloke. On a leg I am trying to be careful about putting the map down in the same same orientation I was last reading it.

Stop revive survive, not so easy to do when piloting an aircraft. Thank you very much mate, you have made my day.
Thanks as always Spiro, yeah the visual navigation is a nice change from IFR straight lines. Enjoy the banana cake, now I’m hungry...
17:05 - bless you Steff!
Great video! I really cant wait next episode. Please add some info about this flight: flight time, fuel consumed, flight distance, etc... lot of data please! ;)
If only a SR22 was as much as a Civic. Looks so fun.
Well done Stefan, looking forward very much to the next one, and any conclusions you arrive at.
VFR harder than IFR? Etc...we have become very dependent on electronic navigation.....

sometimes ive heard you stef ... on the Melbourne live ATC. Awesome job 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
“Pondage usually refers to the comparably small water storage behind the weir of a run-of-the-river hydroelectric power plant.”
Also “Khancoban Pondage is a three kilometre long lake that forms part of the Snowy Mountains Hydro Scheme and around its foreshores lays the town of Khancoban, a town built specifically to house the workers of the Snowy Mountains Scheme, which commenced in 1949. “
I heard you on 135.7 on the 20th of Jan. You were near YMAV :)
Love it, technology sometimes basics are so much better
Excellent video! Don't beat yourself up about it too much though... This is excellent self reflection!
Brilliant series. Lovely scenery too!
Well done. Looking forward to # 3.
North up all the way. thats what i was taught anyway. (unless im lost and need to orientate to look for features haha). awesome episode mate! Also odds and evens are only required by law above 5000ft, it IS good pratice, however, to do it below
North up with paper map always!
I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!
Another fantastic video Stef, and it shows the difficulties of long navigational flights. Well done!
Cheers Mike, thanks for watching.
Track up, makes it easier for navigating.
At 9.15, you say that the VIC/NSW Border is "right down the middle" but this is NOT the case. New South Wales (the original Aussie Colony) OWNS ALL OF THE MURRAY RIVER to where it 'laps on the Vic side'. And. Re the HUME FREEWAY, it connects Melbourne to Sydney. Know ubiquitously as 'The Hume' or the 'extended Sydney Road' or in reverse 'the Road to Melbourne', or 'H31'/'F31', it's the main Interstate Freeway in all of Australia, traffic and populationwise, but, not the longest. Every Aussie should drive 'The Hume; at least once. AND RE MAP Orientation. I'm North Up when VFR. Thanks for your EXCELLENT video - adventure!

Great trip, enjoyed the videos(trip no.1 and trip no.2), can’t wait for the episode no.3😃👍🏻
Excellent again!...thank you... track up
Great video! It’s alright if you veer off course, as long as your being safe, and following procedure. :)
Gotta love getting confused and making those ‘cockups’. Great video Stef.
James May (Top Gear) kind of used that term a bit too.
Haha "impressive knowledge of Australia desert names". Interesting series and great video.
Great video. Thanks again. I prefer track up. How I suppose I was taught with a map as well if needed.
Anyone know why Stefan is wearing two watches?
I just noticed them at 7:20 and was wondering what the benifits are?
I was testing the new Garmin D2 Air on this trip, but wanted to reference my usual watch in case the D2 did something funny.
18:57 - where's that centreline? ; )
"I'm just gonna put her down right here"
Camera hanging off the right wing
This is the highlight of the week! Keep up the great vids!
Fun challenge. I prefer north up always, as I feel it helps my situational awareness. Can't wait to get wings again, and the gliding season is not far away here in northern Europe.
Hope you get to go flying again soon Kim.
@@StefanDrury Thank you Stefan
safe flying mate....
North up as well
Track up for xc and north up for local flying
Track up and I use “Where’s Steven” for west even
Good job mate!!
Great stuff mate!
thats the result of constant pressure haters put on you on this platform. I guess you already knew people would come along and criticize you not even flying themselves.

Youre a great pilot and this is a challange so its no pitty if there are deviations.
Bloody interesting ( again). Thank you Sir. Cheers.
Great! Enjoy flying with you. Eager for part 3.
The me for watching
Great series of video's Stef, at what height do you start thinking about on-board oxygen?
Thanks for following the adventure. During the day I’d only use oxygen above 10,000’. I have a pulse oximeter to measure my blood oxygen saturation levels at any time though. But I don’t think I’ve ever used O2 below 10K.
Awesome flight!
Great trip Stef, track up for me !
If you were to change the callsign of EYZ...what would it be??
