Flying my Cessna 182 from Popham EGHP to Perranporth EGTP. Lets look at the flight planning on Sky Demon and the radio calls along the way. Deciding on which runway to land on and making an approach.
Keep a good lookout! So many of these type of videos show pilots obsessed with their‘glass cockpits’ & cameras and seem to give very little attention to what’s happening out side the window.
Very professional, Dan, most enjoyable. I used to fly from EGLA but can't afford it any more, so it's always a pleasure to watch somebody else paying for it!
40 years ago I was a member of the Cornish Gliding club at Perranporth. The runways then were in a very poor shape. We often used the runway that is now closed. The club folded several years ago and the airfield was sold and was refurbished.
Yes, I believe very little maintenance has occurred since your gliding days! But with that said, still an amazing airfield and asset to the flying community.
Very enjoyable and instructive video for a PPL trainee approaching his first solo. The restoration and the upgrades on the 182 must result in a peach of a flying experience. Noticeable, as per other comments, than your eyes are still outside for 80% of the time. Look forward to your next flight.
Another superb video Dan, great job. Perranporth is such a lovely destination. I have been in a couple of times, lots of parachuting going on when I was there. Good to see you and your lovely Lady on Thursday evening.
Excellent! For me memories of 30+ years ago of once being ferried to Perranporth by two farmers, in their King Air, I think C90 [based in a shed at the farm] in the midlands. The take off from Perranporth was dramatic; must have been runway 27 which seems short. I recall the two pilots discussing the wind effect when passing the over the cliff. The landing back at the farmers field was extreme, pitching left and right, wings tipping. followed by a incredibly HARD landing. My colleague and I embarked, whilst the (farmer) pilots argued angrily. One of them stormed off. Rounded off a dramatic day.
Great video with all the trimmings. I used to fly from Perranporth in the C150 of the airfields owner. Take off from 27 in a strong westerly was character forming and felt like being in a helicopter. So I enjoyed a couple of flights in a Blanik with the local gliding club. So much nicer flying there than on the A303.
I've just found your channel. Great programme and enormous help to me as a student pilot. Great job and many thanks for such great thought and clarity...and I've just subscribed too. All the best...Mike
Really enjoyed this! Currently in last stages of PPL at Elstree doing all the nav. My parents live in Cornwall so this is a route I’m hoping to do next year. Very nice 182, that sort of thing would be the dream, hope a share of similar becomes available at EGTR. All the best.
Hi Ed. Good luck with finishing the PPL course. Elstree is a great learning environment. You'll be able to tackle anything after that! Cornwall awaits you, with Bodmin, Perranporth, Lands End, Scilly Isles and one of my favorites; St Merryn, lots of fun ahead.
@@ginclearaviation well thank you for saying that as it does often feel quite challenging around here! I watched your video on the 182 refurb and that was tremendous, what a new lease of life
Great video, nicely edited, lots of work so well done. Just a ? if I may re. your CHTs that you showed us at 10:15 ….. it appears your #4 cylinder is at 406F. Do you have a target max CHT to ensure cylinder longevity? Always lead to believe anything over 400F was best avoided as far as possible. I’m all in favour of the Lean of Peak mode of operation, but always try and keep our old PA24 Comanche CHTs below 400F, sometimes quite tricky in the climb on a warm day. Thanks for your content 👍.
You are absolutely correct. We should all try and keep the CHT's below 400F for Continentals and under 420F for Lycomings. I must admit I missed that 406F reading. What is interesting is that as I leaned out, all the CHT's reduced to a better / cooler temp. Some people use the CHT's as a leaning indication instead of the Exhaust Gas Temp readings, leaning either Rich of Peak or Lean of Peak, but always keeping the CHT's below the critical no. Coolant air flow through the engine is also an important factor, and if you have cowl flaps one should think about using them on climbs etc. I'm a Lean of Peak fan too. It's amazing how much fuel you save! Thanks for your comments.
Very interesting flight, excellent photography. Sadly the background music is annoying, no need for music as the flight and ATC is interesting enough. Sadly most TH-camrs do the same.
Hi Merle. In the UK we have three possible Air Traffic services for VFR flights outside controlled airspace. We can request any of the three after first contact with the Radar Service Air Traffic Control Officer. 1. Basic Service: A Basic Service is intended to offer the pilot maximum autonomy and is available to IFR flights in Class G airspace, or VFR flights in Class E and Class G airspace. If the ATCO or FISO are aware of airspace activity that may affect your flight they will tell you; however, this is subject to their workload and the avoidance of other traffic is solely the pilot’s responsibility. Maintain a good lookout. 2. Traffic Service: Under a Traffic Service, an ATCO will use radar to provide you with detailed traffic information on specific conflicting aircraft; they will not provide you with deconfliction advice, regardless of your meteorological conditions. A Traffic Service is available to IFR flights in Class G airspace, or VFR flights in Class E and Class G airspace. or 3. A Deconfliction Service: Only available to IFR flights in Class G airspace. An ATCO will use radar to provide you with detailed traffic information on specific conflicting aircraft and advice on how to avoid that aircraft. However, the pilot retains responsibility for collision avoidance; you can opt not to follow the ATCO’s advice. Mainly in the UK, most VFR pilots request a Basic Service unless the weather has low visability. Regards, Dan.

Absolutely, keeping a good look out is essential. Otherwise you miss the beautiful views.
Spent more time talking to us instead of flying the aircraft. As a glider pilot I know why you should keep your eyes looking out
Very professional, Dan, most enjoyable. I used to fly from EGLA but can't afford it any more, so it's always a pleasure to watch somebody else paying for it!
I love Bodmin airfield, I was there this summer. Not the cheapest of hobbies, I agree, but so rewarding!!!
Another excellent presentation! Clear video, sound, ATC and very nice explanation of flight planning and airspace!
Glad you enjoyed it!

Enjoyed the flight and good descriptions, my personal preference is I hate music and would rather soak up the lovelly views without distraction.
Glad you liked it! Thanks.

Great job. One of the best step by step flights from planning to flying. Just subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! Much appreciated. Glad you like the video. More coming soon!
Another superb video Dan, great job. Perranporth is such a lovely destination. I have been in a couple of times, lots of parachuting going on when I was there. Good to see you and your lovely Lady on Thursday evening.
Many thanks! See you at Popham soon.
Very entertaining video.
Thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it
fantastic, really enjoyed the flight!

Sounds like an eventful day!
I remember going on a gliding course with my dad back in the 1960's. Always remember the CFI Owens !
I'm not sure if they still do gliding. Parachuting, yes! Great old airfield.

Thanks Mike. Where are you training? What stage are you at?
Popham and more recently Membury Dan. Have around 6 hours solo C42....and will be getting on again after a short break....Mike

New subscriber here. Great video. Wow I really need to get my SEP revalidated.
You should! It doesn't take much to get re validated.
Great video, nicely edited, lots of work so well done.

Nice video, thanks. Was your upper cowl fastened down properly?
Glad you like the video, the wobbly cowl is due to a camera effect. Rest assured the cowl is screwed down!
Very interesting flight, excellent photography. Sadly the background music is annoying, no need for music as the flight and ATC is interesting enough. Sadly most TH-camrs do the same.

Haven't followed many UK flight channels, is "Basic Service" like "Flight Following" in the US?

@@ginclearaviation Ah, thanks for the info. I suppose ADSB II upgrades was mandated for GA aircraft in the UK recently as well?
I don't believe ADSB has been mandated for GA in the UK. But others may know more?@@merlepatterson
brilliant video Dan but please ! no music.
Glad you liked it. (Wilco on the music!).
A lot of sink over the cliffs be aware
Thanks for the heads up!
Great vid!
Thanks!
