Looks like a cool trip! A flight abroad when I get my PPL is now firmly on my wishlist... I just need to get out of circuit training first! Cool video Ben, thanks for sharing :)

[@robweaver566]

Really enjoyed the video, Ben. Nice mix of footage from the cockpit and out of the window. Also appreciated the bit of airport footage and logistics as well as something from your time at your destination. Very professionally put together.

[@kevinchilton]

Another great video Ben. Thanks for your hard work in preparing these for us to view. Always professionally made and really enjoyable to watch.

[@James-jd3ln]

Looks a great day out. Great mix of flying, impressive quiet airfields and interesting intro to IFR clearances.

[@YoungManGoneWest]

Another enjoyable video Ben....always informative and well edited.

Nice flight Ben - enjoyed your perspective on the trip, with you and Antony being different personalities it's nice to see both videos and get each of your opinions. VFR flights plans however much they may be ignored would be useful over hostile territory or of course open water. I once diverted en-route to France due to poor viz and my local ATCO who I was receiving a LARS service from (I won't name them here) wouldn't close my plan and neither would the tower at my landing field (Calais) so I got a call a few hours later from D&D in Le Bourget enquiring where I'd landed as my plan hadn't been closed by Calais so the French authorities definitely take them seriously and will act on overdue aircraft. Le Bourget were really annoyed that the ATCO wouldn't close my plan or send them a simple message over AFTN which would have prevented me being overdue.

Another great video Ben! I enjoyed the vlog style of this one and the SR22 is such a cool plane. It’s always nice to see you flying one. 👍

[@jrwarner579]

[@brandon5058]

Damn Ben, just wanted to go to bed. Liked already.

[@clem29120]

That weather was a bummer, Quiberon and Belle Ile are two very nice short field runway with amazing scenery to fly over.

[@trading-university.]

Good work. Enjoy your videos Ben, keep up the good work!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you!

[@julianpratt9616]

Another outstanding video Ben, love the bloggy type approach - really enjoyed it and looked like a great trip. Looking forward to the Scotland round trip :-) JP

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks a lot, Julian! The Scotland trip is next to Edit!

[@robertyoung3003]

Great vid, love the SR22. Started to do my PPL out of Sherburn, but ran out of pennies, so really enjoy watching theses videos and maybe one day who knows. Fly safe

[@PlaneOldBen]

Really hope you get back into it, Robert!

[@kenstephens2955]

Love to see more like this!

[@PlaneOldBen]

[@lugash4]

Totally agree re the French you gotta fly to Quiberon you'd love the airstrip!!!! I have been there it's lovely!!!! Nice flight thanks for up loading.

[@CAXAviation]

Very nice Ben! Cherbourg and Deauville look quite nice places!

[@felixwilson5130]

sweet video Ben, really enjoyed it!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks Felix!

[@garydell2023]

Now I understand. Thank you Ben.

[@jakechris9809]

Nice video! Was wonderin would i be able to land on a private airstrip in france or do i have to land in airport?

[@mfuller1093]

@planoldben Where is the aircraft based ? I ask because of the US registration ?

[@mordecai4480]

Hiya just wanted to find out if Cirrus have got a flying school in England ?

[@JodelFlyer]

Nice mix of recent aircraft Ben, Cirrus, Piper, Cessna and Chipmunk - Good for you (maybe a Jodel one day if you would like a trip?)

[@PlaneOldBen]

I’d love to fly the Jodel!

[@dezh6083]

Great these vids

[@Planehazza]

In IFR, are altitudes always given in Flight Levels? I (probably wrongly) though it was feet until transition altitude where it then became flight levels?

[@BeccaAndy]

Hi Ben I live just outside Blackpool, can you recommend best place for lessons?

[@TheBarnem13]

Good job Wayne! Hey btw did Wayne see the Isle of Wight this time? Great video as always!

[@PlaneOldBen]

He did haha! Thanks for watching.

[@alexhouse1684]

May just be edited out but I never seem to notice a ‘CAPS available’ check at 600 AGL? This is standard practice for Cirrus ops...

[@PlaneOldBen]

The check is always done, the video has just been heavily edited to save time!

[@fearnsey8800]

10000 ft is that max height before oxygen is needed ? In one of your very early flights over Liverpool area and west coast you climbed to FL 100 and and one of the comments described you as reckless !!! Can you clarify max heights without pressurisation and oxygen please ?

[@PlaneOldBen]

FL120 in an N-Registered Aircraft

[@garydell2023]

Enjoyed your video Ben. So did I understand you correctly that in your neck of the woods traffic control doesn't follow your flight plan closely or at all? No so in France & here in the States. Ever think you might want to step up to the SR22 on a permanent basis ? Again keep flying safe.

[@PlaneOldBen]

In the UK the Air Traffic Control Units don’t look at your flight plan unfortunately if you’re flying VFR, you have to tell them your route on the initial call.

[@julianpratt9616]

PS - Who the hell clicked the "Dislike" button? Lets name and shame :-)

[@renard8137]

After Brexit it will be an international flight with airport of entry and all the fee's and franchizes one can think off.
