Thank you for your kind comment.

It certainly gets the heart pumping.

+unixsystems pleasure.

Thanks for watching!

You must do it!

Thanks Keith.

+MegaCantata thanks. Probably have passed nearby at some point. Past it? I doubt that.

+Chris Cole thanks Chris. The channel has been work in progress so you find quality changes as you go back further in time !

Cheers. Thanks for watching.

Thanks Will.

Thanks. yes needed that. I wasn't doing much talking in flight!

+Daniel Griffin cheers Daniel.

+Fly Digital thanks Stefan.

Thanks Jonathan.

Morning. pleasure.

Thank you!

Thanks for the comments Michael. Yeah, the autopilot would have been great.

Thanks.

Thanks.

+Rob Chapman good luck with the rest of your training Rob.

+Duncan Callow haha. I'd flown it with an instructor, and confident with its systems. It did make me work hard though. All the best.

+Clear Prop it's hard work, and ideally, you wouldn't conduct the whole flight in IMC, but if you're above minimums either end, why not?

My pleasure.

+Plane Old Ben that means a lot, thanks Ben.

+dvlourie1 thanks for watching.

+Horace Sawyer thanks Horace.

+jwood237 thanks. I trained for the IRR at Lydd, so I know he procedure well.

Oh, you really must - life depends on it.

You need to do it. It's transformative.

+James Gross cheers James. It really takes the pressure off. All the best.

+Sam Beutelspacher thanks Sam

+Dave Colgate thanks for watching.

+Jodel Flyer thanks. And I know we need to meet up soon when the weather improves . Glad the Jodel is in working order again.

Thanks Lee. Wilco.

Thanks Darren. Welcome along.

+terryjkent cheers. Yeah, keen to get the hang of the RNAV approaches.

+drjumpjets thanks. It certainly did

Thanks Brian.

+flyinguk thanks. It worked out well. Strong headwind helped.

The Flying Reporter just out of interest, do you still have to pay for ILS if your practicing a missed instrument approach?

+flyinguk yes you do!

Oh, and I needed it that day. I should really take a flask with me.

Cheers josh.

thanks

Makes life a lot easier!

Thanks sean.

+Mark Swift you won't regret it.

Thanks.

+dave jones hi. Thanks. 7000 is a general conspicuity code, not necessarily VFR. It's a common misconception...even the button to select 7000 on my transponder is labelled VFR. There wasn't a handover to farnborough...it was a freecall. I could have requested a handover to Thames radar, but It wasn't necessary for the flight route I was taking. That's the nature of IFR in uncontrolled airspace in the U.K.

+YoungHils VLOG thanks. I quite like them. Immediate, and you can feel them working.

+Andrew Cumiskey thanks for watching.

Cheers.

+Geonordis thanks for watching.

+Eko Kurniawan thanks for watching.

Most of these cheaper light aircraft don't have an autopilot. Ours has one, but do want work very well.

Hi Nick. Managed with the 430 ok. It didn't look right when I activated the approach, so disregarded it completely and flew with sole reliance on the NDB/ILS/DME. I need to see where I went wrong there.

+Neil Murgatroyd thanks. It's just preference with the SkyDemon. I'm new to the pilot aware and haven't really spent much time looking at the display yet. Seems to be pretty effective from what Ive seen so far.

+RJPick1 if you fly their procedure, you have to pay a fee. I will have paid over the phone.

+M5AXA I think it's for pilot aware...transmits my position over unlicensed frequency to other pilot aware users.

Because Skydemon is not a certified navigation source. Being my first flight using the 430w, I wanted a traditional navigation method I could fall back on, in case I struggled with programming the 430.

Wouldn't say ILS becoming redundant in USA not at major airports anyway. WAAS GPS can't substitute for CAT III ILS approaches. Douglas Boyd commercial single/multi IFR

+ben arrowsmith try here. Not sure if this is the right link. I have one working on a windows 10 machine. If not google for it...that's where I found it. www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=3527

Awesome! Thanks Jon

+Daniel Fuller I did it at headcorn. Glad you liked the film.

+John Marceaux I had a radar service for some of the flight, some not. Self nav..not sure I understand your question. If you mean my own navigation as opposed to radar vectored. Yes.

Correct Sir! I say good job earning your instrument rating and putting it to use. Instrument rating pilots have a better safety record. Many VFR pilots do not believe that and I can understand why they think that. It takes more aeronautical knowledge and skills to be an instrument pilot. Single pilot in IMC conditions is a real challenge. I would introduce my instrument students to IFR flights in VFR conditions by filing an IFR flight plan on a good weather day. That way most of their focus is not on controlling the airplane by instruments only. IFR flight in a non radar environment means ATC is not there to be of assistance. In a way it is like flying an instrument approach without an auto pilot. All instrument pilots should keep their navigation skills sharp by using self-nav. Pre-flight planning is a key to safety and that includes the condition of the pilot. Here is a hot cup of tea for the Flying Reporter upon landing!

+John Marceaux thanks John. Appreciate the message. I have a restricted instrument rating...not the full one, so there are limitations, but it really does help.

+Marko Fiorovic no de-ice.

+Jordan Lucky hi Jordan, thanks for subscribing. I've bought into a share, and the six of us own 1/6th each. It has to be insured for hull loss, and public liability. I can't recall, but you're talking £m's. there are specialist companies that insure. A quick google could find you some names. We have a good trustee that looks after everything for us!

Thanks for the reply and making it a quick one! I understand now from what you've explained thanks a lot. Watching your videos has pushed me to book another lesson here with EFG so I will be down there soon enough! Keep up the good content! And Safe flying!

Thanks
