Being in the process of revalidation my SEP after a decade on the ground, your clear, concise and succinct video is just what I needed to get my head back in the game. Hope to share the skies with you soon

[@FlyWithMarco]

thank you for the positive feedback!

[@DannyC3017]

This is much more in depth than transitioning through airspace in the US. I have my PPL check ride in a couple weeks and I am also an Air Traffic Controller.

This is great, i loved this channel, all these videos are very informative as i was half way through my license and as soon as quaranine ends in the UK 8th march i will be back to doing my solo circuits at the age of 16-17, currently.

[@FlyWithMarco]

Great to hear your feedback Felix. Best of luck with your flying!

[@rogerclarke3291]

Really awesome video and very helpful. I did my first military zone transit of Brize Norton a few weeks ago and also transited Southampton with Solent Radar to Sandown on Friday. I'm beginning to really enjoy ATC and Transits also. Thank you for Posting.

[@FlyWithMarco]

Great to hear Roger - thanks for the feedback. Brize is one of the "harder" ones!

Just found this channel, keep it up pal ! There doesn’t seem to be too many uk channels on this subject who have been updating at all in the last year , so I’m sure if you keep going with it you’ll see a lot more subs !

[@FlyWithMarco]

Cheers for the feedback Osman! I'll be creating some more videos very shortly :)

[@LETSROCK2NITE]

Really useful video Marco, many thanks!

[@FlyWithMarco]

Thanks for the feedback Ricci!

[@benking8299]

I noticed in the second example you abbreviated your call sign first? Is there any exceptions when your allowed to do this? Love the videos really helpful

[@FlyWithMarco]

I believe you are allowed to abbreviate your call sign when ATC do. You are required to read your full call sign when acknowledging a clearance!

[@joe7d321]

Hi I just subscribed to your channel very informative, a quick one would you recommended becoming a pilot thru an airline company or get your license first then apply to become an airline pilot ??? Thanks for the videos!

[@FlyWithMarco]

Thank you Joe! That's a good question, and it depends on where you're based too. I'm a PPL - not commercial. I believe most people here in the UK get their PPL (private licence) first. Then move onto commercial.

Background music is annoying. Showing maps would illustrate better the situation

[@FlyWithMarco]

Roger!
