Enjoyed the video Ben. I'm glad I don't do complicated approaches anymore. Do appreciate your effort. Thanks again.

[@sol3cito33]

Awesome videos, as always! Thanks for sharing!

[@simon.t-c]

Uploaded at te perfect time! Just finished some ATPL work, now time to relax!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Aha fantastic!

[@flyhalf2]

Enjoying these videos Ben, probably because I won't have to do these sort of approaches ;-) That's one heck of a workload!

[@richnash82]

That was really interesting. I did the exact lesson last week in a Duchess. You do a lot of talking, reading out distances and next call etc.....I like it, I’m going to use that technique. 😊

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks Richard, I find it helps me stay ahead of the aircraft and keep a nice flow going.

[@larscwallstrom]

Love how you called and nailed heading 231. Good job :)

[@PlaneOldBen]

Aha thank you! Hope you enjoyed the video.

[@CAXAviation]

Top notch, entertaining and informative, the perfect mix

[@PlaneOldBen]

Cheers Charlie!

[@davidcartwright5591]

Great video Ben . I found it very intensive viewing , so I can only imagine how it was for you actually doing the flying .Well done , and thanks for sharing .

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks David. There’s a lot to manage all at once along with trying to stay ahead of the aircraft and manage the profiles! I really enjoyed this trip!!

[@JoeRichardson02]

Loving these videos Ben, keep em coming! Looks like very complicated flying...

[@PlaneOldBen]

There’s a load more to come out! It is certainly quite a learning curve going into the IR!

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Very skilled flying Ben.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Always love a report from you!

[@SC-dl2io]

Thanks for another great IR instructional video, I'm just a little behind you and so the timing is excellent. How stressful was the test?! Did you have any surprises on the day?

[@catzert]

Hey Ben, I agree with the others here, very good video technically and easy to follow. As I also record voice and cam on flights sometimes I would be interested to know how you time sync the footage of all the cameras with the sound?

[@MrSeebsy]

Loving your video's in the DA42...... I do always have a little chuckle when I watch IFR flights in the UK... Why does the blackpool controller give you a brand new squawk code? And if the arrival thru Blackpool is procedural why even bother with a transponder code? In the US a GA A/C on IFR will keep the same Squawk for the whole flight & is seamlessly handed from controller to controller.

[@houssameddinearidhi4436]

Hello, during the lnav approach what power setting do you use 20% or 40%?

[@ELPaso1990TX]

Fantastic video! I’m new to this, If flying VFR is there an exclusion zone around Warton airbase? For instance if flying 360° from Liverpool to Blackpool rwy 27 would you have to fly east of Warton before turning in to land at BLK?

[@richardkaberry8790]

Great video Ben. Can you let us know where you’re up to with the training? Understand you have a CPL MEIR now and ATPL theory? What’s still to do?

[@PlaneOldBen]

An MCC JOC then applying for jobs!

[@flightsimcentre9244]

Did you drop the flaps early

[@pbask8704]

That Blackpool ATC controller sounds foreign?

[@callumfrost8967]

Hi Ben, great video! Makes me look forward to doing my IR training, just a quick question, have you tried foreflight? apparently its much better than skydemon for IFR flying and planning. Thanks, Ben!

[@PlaneOldBen]

SkyDemon works well for IFR but not as the primary navigation source. I use the G1000 then SkyDemon to help with situational awareness.

[@gerepk]

Nice video Ben, how hard is the ME/IR course?

[@Josh-ck8yf]

Are you a flight student?

[@PlaneOldBen]

Not anymore, now got a CPL MEIR!

[@nwatty]

Another enjoyable video. I guess it would be considered cheating to ask Mr.Garmin to tell you what the wind is doing when you were going to take up the hold? Although, I agree that a dose of common sense should be applied to the answer.

[@donball7896]

If you are doing an ILS DME Runway 28 and your DME is not working the approach should have been aborted due to inoperable equipment. DME required

[@PlaneOldBen]

The DME was working.

[@OllyJ2k9]

Decent
