Robert seems like such a great instructor! I enjoy watching you two together!

[@Ke0hwo]

You’re a heck of a story teller, Noel.

[@paulpietruszewski4226]

With my daughter going to college for commercial aviation, and currently getting her license this gives me excellent intel on what to expect. Thanks for doing this.

[@sanderwage1730]

I wish your daugther all the best with her fligth training best wishes from me.🙂

[@krookeddreamz09]

Going up today for my first introductory flight finally pulling the trigger on a life long dream. The simulators just don't cut it anymore! Thanks Noel I enjoy your videos.

[@Colt1775]

If you get the chance fly out to Franklinton Louisiana one day. It's not a mega airport by any means but it is a small rural town with a lot of history.

Excellent video Noel! I know I'm way late with this, but did your instructor ever tell you why he wanted you to say "awaiting IFR release" at a towered airport? Tower knows that you're on an IFR flight plan, the ground controller handed them a flight strip showing that you were IFR, so that's a bit redundant to say "awaiting IFR release" as tower knows that. The only time you need to explicitly call for IFR release is if you're at an un-towered airport and are calling the overlying ATC or FSS (depending on location). I know most controllers would rather you just call them an advise "Ready for departure" instead. Many towers also have a "rolling release" authorization, so they're allowed to depart IFR flights without getting an explicit IFR release from the TRACON/ARTCC for their departures as long as certain criteria are met (like they're not launching 2 aircraft on the same departure route back-to-back without a certain in-trail separation guaranteed). I've done all my Instrument training except for the final checkride, so I'm hoping that in the not too distant future to be able to do my remedial flying to get hours and updates so I can try and finally get my Instrument Ticket after almost 20 years. :)

cool to watch as a student pilot in florida who is also from england

[@bivenceto]

Lovely video! Makes me want to do a discovery flight and get started! Thank you!

[@andriesbotes9180]

Well done🎉

[@ShortField]

Your title was on the money EPIC, love these videos Noel. 👍👍👍

[@janetbanks384]

Never experienced this in my life. Thank you for sharing. Good Luck in your further tests.

[@Oduck22]

11:43 if by “read” the magazines, you mean look at all of the pictures, I can probably “read” 7k in 2 months 😂 the cloud surfing looks so cool

[@dalemullins4562]

love it!

[@M158-o3x]

What is the lose piece flapping beneath the engine cowling at 12:00?

[@eatinghealthy2893]

great good flying

[@CallieMasters5000]

Sounds like you could do your entire cross country test flight without even leaving Texas. 🎉

[@IFlyforPie]

Such a faff in the UK compared to the USA , great to watch your progress Noel .

[@SouthPaw1805]

I'm guessing that part of the issue in the UK is that most airfields regularly used by GA pilots aren't equipped with ILS equipment, so you have to be sequenced between commercial flights.

[@colinpotter7764]

Perhaps if GA paid for UK ATC then it would be better.

[@IFlyforPie]

Interesting ! Does that happen in the States ? @@colinpotter7764

[@liquidintegrity]

Loved it -nice work!

[@warriorlifexxx619]

When can you fly something bigger ??? Like a small jet aircraft

[@Pilot_Ty]

Any jet aircraft requires a Type rating. Even if the aircraft is under 12,500 pounds.

[@Leo_Vasileio]

Great job and great content

[@jazzcupjoey]

I did a discovery flight about a month ish ago, and now I have a log book with an hour in it! In January I'm planning to start training and working toward getting my PPL, the radios are really intimidating, but I feel I will get the hang of it. Do you have any beginners advice?

[@Bingobongo1987]

If you don’t have the money to do at least 1 lesson a week I would save up the money so you do the bear minimum 1 a week really you want to be doing 2-3 hours a week otherwise it will be a lot harder in the long run you will be doing more like one lesson then 1.5 lesson then 2 by the time u do your next hour on 1s a week the instructor will be re teaching you half of the next lesson but that’s not always achievable with wether conditions and fitting around peoples work other commitments.all the best tho brother.blue sky’s

[@percismehta8959]

I had taken a break as seeing all this luxury was getting to me. So distance was the remedy.

[@jdii5698]

Another great vid. I'll take BlueBell over Haagen dazs any day though. 😉

[@soccerplayer7267]

I love this videos ❤ you the best Noel

[@Obiwan234]

Good job Noel, I used Sheppard Air for my FAA PPL, IR and CPL written exams, follow their strategy and you will ace the exam 👍

[@FlyWithNoelPhilips]

Thanks Mark I have Sheppard Air and am working through it at the moment!

[@Obiwan234]

@@FlyWithNoelPhilips Good to hear Noel, I am sure will ace the FAA IR in no time, especially given that you already have your IMC (IRR) rating in the UK. I will be in Savannah, GA with our G650 in February and will be doing some GA flying around Georgia also, if you have a spare day or two, I could show you the G650, Gulfstream service center and go and do some GA flying.

[@maulanahoward1838]

as soon as you break off from the foggles, cut the power and pitch for your airspeed

[@FlyWithNoelPhilips]

Thank you!

[@jonathanworthing6278]

Noel are you staying in the USA for good and do you find the air ways more busy In the USA an the UK.

[@MrDangerhere]

Did you win the lottery and not tell anyone?

[@Bob_Burton]

What is the point of those obscured glasses when all you do is tilt your head back and look under them ?

[@Codehead3]

Well, you can’t always find IMC to fly in and you have to get your training somehow. Even after you obtain your IFR certification you still should fly in actual IMC with a CFI before attempting it alone.

[@Bob_Burton]

@@Codehead3 I know what the purpose of the obscured glasses is, but Noel is plainly just tipping his head back and looking under the obscured part of them thus rendering them a waste of time

[@percismehta8959]

In a nice way, Dont u think u r getting too big for yr boots. Un-necessary risk. How is Rachael. Is she aware of yr stunts.
