Haha I knew my pronunciation was bad on this trip! Even though I had the locals slowly say the words to me I still couldn't get the hang of it! 😂

@@richardtyrerHi Richard, being proudly Irish myself, I can feel the same way when non-Irish people pronounce Irish place names in my native Irish Gaelic language, even though I can’t actually speak Irish Gaelic very well, I still try my best when I come home from the U.K., although I love to educate respected visitors to our country, as our honoured guests, which is also why I feel the need to protect them from getting ripped off in the tourist traps and to entice them to explore those parts of Ireland that are off the beaten track, to enable them to see our Irish culture at its finest - I think also that for me, coming home to Ireland is a hugely spiritual experience that I can’t quite explain, despite living 21 years in Manchester, as I feel that even at age 52, Ireland will always be my real home and I feel fortunate that I still have extended family still living near Dublin 🇮🇪☘️🇬🇧❤️

Thanks! I found it really interesting, they were both AFIS so usually it's a Takeoff/Land at your discretion, but seemed to vary a little here! 😁👍

Thanks so much Chibi! 😁👍

Thanks so much Frank! 😁👍

Thanks so much Trevor! Hope you're enjoying flying your DA42 as well! Happy landings! 😁👍

Westman islands usually are only domestic flights (ppl from other countries usually go by ship or as a passenger) he's used to speaking Icelandic on the freq, speaking English increased his workload so he was a little slower but nothing dangerous. the other airport has daily domestic flights and GA airplanes landing there so his English is a lot better. despite what you think the westman islands controller was not completely asleep and wasn't clueless about what was going on. I can see how you thought so tho if I didn't know he wasn't used to English I would've thought so aswell.

Amazing to hear! Thanks 😁👍

Wishing you the very best of luck with your PPL - Pilot Oli here on KZfaq has a really good channel as does Plane Old Ben, both based here in the U.K. - at age 52 now, I’m too old and too poor to start pilot training but I’ve kept up an interest in aviation over the years, also following Citation Max, Flight Chops and Steveo Kinevo among others in the US - of course, being proudly Irish, I also follow my national airline Aer Lingus

Glad you enjoyed it Mat! More to come (very soon!) 😁👍

@@richardtyrerI love your haircut in this video, you look gorgeous 😍

Thank you so much Godfrey! 😁👍

@@richardtyrer Always look forward to your videos, I would watch steveo1kinevo, citationmax1 and premier1driver, and you guys are all excellent, but it's nice to follow someone from the UK.. Look forward to your next flight

Thanks Gabriele! 😁👍

Thank you so much! 😁👍

Thanks so much! 😁👍

Not a bad idea! Will do one like that! Thanks! 😁👍

@@richardtyrer It's very cool to watch your familiarity in the planes you fly where you do the flows very efficient, without using checklists. I am trying to incorporate the use of flows myself, but can't decide whether generic flows (that is done the same each time, in each phase of flight) is the way to go for a GA-pilot like me that doesn't fly all that often. Generic could be Top to bottom, left to right or something. What is your thoughts and how do you use flows for efficient cockpit operation? :-)

Hi! It's a GoPro Max. Great camera, easy to use, a little fiddly to edit! I would recommend one though (you need a good computer to edit properly!). 😁👍

@@richardtyrer Thanks Richard!! Thankfully I have like the most powerful PC money can buy lol. Cheers!! I'll be ordering one of those very shortly!! :)

Ah, it was quite busy before turning the camera's on (and I wanted to focus on the flying after!) but there is an arrival which takes you direct from BRUSI to EGILL which allows you to skip the traditional procedure. I didn't have time to really go through it on camera. If you search for the Iceland AIP and look at the procedures for BIEG, you'll find it under the VAD 1 RNAV arrival. Cheers 😁👍

That was me! Where were you?

I was on the eastern apron at the time, as I work for KLM.

I was, it was outside the Class E airspace when I was IMC but that is why I asked to change frequency for higher early on. Thanks for that, I will check it out! Happy Landings! 😁👍

@@richardtyrer thanks for the reply, just to clarify, there was no intention at all to call you out or anything, just for curiosity, even i dont understand the IFR system here, as i did my IFR training just shy of a skill test elsewhere, but the damn CAA exams had to run out of time just before i could finish, even did my multi training in the same trip on the 42

Ah no worries I didn’t take it in that way at all! To be fair there was probably a better way of doing the IFR departure but given the information I had at the time I saw that being the only way! The majority of airspace in Iceland seems to be class E, so no permissions required for VFR but IFR clearence is mandatory. Shame your exams have run out, I love VFR flying but if you want to go on long trips, you really need the IR to guarantee the flight! Best of luck with the training

@@richardtyrer put everything on a break due to covid, now im a vfr weekend warrior

I can’t remember but I think it was really good value. Iceland is very GA friendly!
