Lovely day for it. Seeing the A/H INOP sticker gives me a chance to repeat a story. I had a experience/basic handlling trip in a Chipmunk a few years ago and the Artificial Horizon went squiffy. I reported it to the pilot who replied with words to to the effect of "Never mind looking at that, there's an actual horizon out the window.". He had a fair point :-)
Yes precisely, from memory the Artificial Horizon was playing up for a while before this particular flight. As you say it's VFR, so there is a perfectly useful horizon outside to use 😉
@@CJThePilot Fine a actually ,due to being very busy not been up for 4 weeks but going up tomorrow evening.You should be very pleased with yourself all that hard work got you somewhere..
Well done Chris!! I’m sure that first flight after passing the checkride must be the best feeling ever. I’m actually training at Bristol and was excited to you see flying from there too. I can even see my training aircraft in the background over the left wing parked on the grass 😄😄
@@CJThePilot we've been journeying together, both in Cherokees and both towards PPL but on opposite sides of the globe and I passed my Flight Test only 3 weeks ago so the feeling is mutual! Your (real) videos really have been both encouragement and a challenge to me in my flying, especially through lock-downs and the down times. Keep them coming!!
Thanks again Cameron, absolutely brilliant that you have passed too! Congratulations from this side of the world! May you have many epic flights ahead 👍
Congratulations Chris. Great feeling isn't it when you can fly yourself after the test. Enjoyed the video and the commentary (nearly as much talking as me!) Loved the little excited voice as you flew over home 👍😎
Thanks Tim, yes lots of commentary and hopefully I didn't overdo it! I'm glad you enjoyed coming along for the ride. Hopefully get to fly with you one day 👍
Hi chris, just found you video… looks like your enjoying your new passion. I’ve just bought al the literature and completed 3 hrs so far and am loving it. Currently flying out of redhil because of work but live in the Forest of Dean. Would love to come up with you one weekend if you have any plans in the foreseeable future
Hi Kristian, thanks for reaching out and hope you enjoy the videos here. I'm glad to know you're enjoying your flying! If you wish to contact me regarding a private flight please message me via Facebook: facebook.com/CJThePilot
Chris, been following your journey since the beginning and absolutely amazing to hear the dream is now the reality 😎, many congratulations !!!!. Thanks once again for all the footages you post, it is super useful for us that are on the same journey. Happy flying 👨🏼✈️
Thank you Steve, glad to be of service. Thank you for taking the time to watch what I do. I always try to present my aviation experiences in an honest and "real" style without over editing, so your continued support means a lot!
Well done Chris on getting your wings, now it's time to really start learning, I did my simulation in the 737 and you can watch it on my channel, excuse the landings due to ankle problems I was all over the white dotted line lol. love the outtakes "god farting" lol.
Lucky you, well done Chris, heck of an achievement, now the world is your oyster and the learning really starts? Off to some grass strips etc. I'll fly with you one day buddy 😊
@@CJThePilot enjoy! It'll all come with time I'm sure, you're a safe pilot, a good pilot, keep it that way. Hopefully a good summer ahead of you too. I wouldn't offer to fly with every pilot on You Tube! 😉 Happy landings.
Thanks Phil, Redhill is one of many on the long list! Solo Cross Country was by far my favourite part of the training. Enjoy it and let me know how you get on 👍
Cheers Gareth, I think the "skills test, thoughts, tips etc" video will have to be for a later edition. Unfortunately Peppa and George had to sit this one out due to their TV commitments. Skye from Paw Patrol had to dash off for a ruff ruff rescue 👍
Yeah really enjoyed it just an emergency on 27 and I got a little work overload resetting for 36 but thank fully the instructor got me in the right place in a very busy pattern. I’ve a long way to go but watching your vids are great for a sneak pic of what’s to come ;)
Oh and many congratulations from me too.
Thank you!

Was this yesterday Chris ? It was a little bumpy up by EGBJ yesterday but a great day to fly apart from all the hot air balloons that were up
It was a while ago, but bumpy in places nonetheless! Sounds like you enjoyed your flight.
