Learning To Fly Episode 008 - EGBW 7th Pattern at Wellesbourne Mountford

My 7th circuit around Wellesbourne Mountford (EGBW) runway 18 right hand circuit. Sticking with the ATC calls and trying to focus more on the procedure to make sure I get it all done properly.
Sorry about the quality of the video, my Nvidia 1080 died eventually so I'm now using an old AMD R390X so I can't run the sim at 2k and needs to run at 1080p medium settings.
This is on my custom Wellesbourne Mountford scenery which can be downloaded at:
* flightsim.to/file/1191/egbw-w...
I'm also using the modified version of the Cessna 152 which can be downloaded at:
* github.com/DRF30q/C152X
The equipment I'm using is:

Wow, what can I say! You have learned so much since episode 1. Well down. As soon as we both get out of tier 3 then we'll do it for real. Just one comment since you asked for it. You were indeed a bit high & fast on final, principally because you didn't bring your third stage of flaps in soon enough. I would normally bring in stages 1 & 2 together as you turn on to base, then stage 3 at the top of the final approach. Now stage 3 is very draggy, so you will need to increase revs back up to about 1900rpm to compensate. The idea is that with all this drag offset by thrust, the aircraft will respond very quickly to small throttle adjustments. Remember that you use elevator trim to adjust your approach speed and throttle to adjust your rate of descent (seems counter-intuitive, I know, but it's true). On a totally different note, is there any chance you could add in some parked aircraft on the northern side of taxiway Bravo? At the western corner there is a PA-23 twin (G-BJNZ) belonging to friend of mine, it’s shown on Google maps and you can see images here. www.bing.com/images/search?q=g-bjnz&qpvt=G-BJNZ&form=IGRE&first=1&tsc=ImageBasicHover There’s also a Cessna Citation business jet which flies in from Ireland every day at 7.00am and departs at 5.00pm. It’s the only commercial movement at the airfield apart from police helicopters which call in for fuel.

thanks for all the help and advice along the way, it all helps so much with learning! I feel I messed up my turn onto downwind, which meant I was too close to Hampton Lucy for my base turn and it was panicking me because I didn't know when to turn. Even in the video I say Hampton Lucy is coming up but I'm actually looking at Charlecote House, I still managed to do the base turn ok but it's that point where I think it goes wrong because I only put 1 lot of flaps in there and I'm going way too fast so I can't reduce my altitude enough and then I put my 2nd lot of flaps in too late too. And all that meant I didn't get round to putting my 3rd flaps in till I'm over the road... I also can't remember if I pulled my carb out or not, it's out when I turn off the engine (so I may have forgotten to put it back in and did pull it out on the base turn) its good to be able to watch the videos back and I can relate to where I panicked internally and where things went wrong. I'll keep at it :) but as you say at least i'm not floating half way down the runway now! :D yeah I can add those aircraft in, do you want them in the same location as they are on google maps? I was thinking of putting a tractor in on the Bravo taxiway too as there seems to be one there (along with a small harvester maybe? That yellow thing on google maps?) I also need to replace the vans with caravans at the caravan park :D

Yes, the aircraft positions on Bravo are about right. Don't know if you saw the comment I added to your 007 last night, link to a third party video. The clip at time 1:04 shows them quite well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/btSYZtRy053cqZs.html The tractor & trailer is for sweeping up 05 after the Saturday market. It's in storage at the moment so I can get any photos.

@@152driver1 Yeah I can see them in the video. I think I've found a Citation model that I can use, the PA-23 seems like an elusive bugger to find a model for. I may have a go at modelling my own in blender, never modelled a plane before though!

Flying Theston I would say don't bother but I know you will enjoy the challenge and it will make a great tutorial video to add to your collection 😀
