I wish I knew THIS before flying in the UK

[@jongulliver984]

To everyone having a go at the UK remember we are a tiny country with very busy airspace. The Clacton zone is, I believe, one of the busiest ATC zones in the world. As a commercial pilot who regularly flies all over the world I have had my worst experiences in the US with confliction with VFR traffic below FL180 e.g. a full TCAS RA at about 5000 on approach to EWR in a 747! Maybe that’s why we have our rules, that sort of thing would happen far more regularly in the UK without stricter controls. I used to run an aerial photography company years ago and regularly got clearances to enter the LHR zone in between traffic on approach to do photo runs. They had a special procedure, not sure it’s available now but it can be done.

[@wooburnaviation]

Recently retired commercial pilot, instructor and ex ATC duty manager here. This is one of the best responses: Very high density of traffic, lots of conflicting requirements. Yet you can fly the length and breadth of the country non- radio (with dog legs), weather permitting!

[@John-pn4rt]

Many of those airfields are former RAF bases and while the airfield is closed the site is not - for example, Cottesmore which is where you are flying over at @11:58, is now Kendrew Barracks.

[@bazwaterboy522]

That "abandoned" airfield at 11:54 is Kendrew Baracks (Formerly RAF Cottesomore) It was the home of Joint Force Harrier 1,3,4 Squadron and Naval Strike Wing. I was based there between 2003 and 2009. Fun fact, it hosted the Royal Internation Air Tatoo in 2000 and 2001 due to RAF Fairford having renovation works carried out.

[@StefanDrury]

No way, that is a good fact. Thanks for letting us know.

There's no legal problems with using an EFB while VFR, in fact the UK CAA *encourages* people to use a moving map GPS of any kind with an up-to-date airspace database, specifically to avoid airspace busts. Skydemon is the most popular in the UK

[@dr_jaymz]

Well yes but also no. He said as primary navigation. As a rule the caa don't like anything that uses batteries or that was invented since 1933. They will recommend something but will sit on the fence avoiding any kind of commitment and instead refer you to a document that contains double or tripple negatives at the end of which you will not be clear what they just said. So you need a paper map. Obviously nobody ever uses a paper map in flight except as a sun shade.

[@mrkangaroo83]

I remember when flying with a friend from Bournemouth to Redhill, listening to Gatwick Director on our way into Redhill as we were under his control. The guy didn't stop for breath!

[@catherinekilgour2563]

3:16 Airport Radio Services, we have a few of those at uncontrolled airports in New Zealand too. They can tell you what traffic there is in the area and the circuit but they can't tell you what to do. Just advise you. The few times I have encountered it I found the person on the radio very easy to communicate with and very helpful. It was reassuring to hear someone else having just flown some distance with no other traffic around me. 6:12 Uncontrolled Airports with IFR approaches. The only ones I can think of would be airports with a domestic carrier service flying out of them which is still in Class G. I doubt you have to book a time slot but if the commercial service is coming in don't be surprised if they ask (tell) you to stay out of their way. 9:12 Just like London you can not fly into Auckland Airport if you are GA, you have to fly into either Ardmore or North Shore Airfields. I have meet one person who after about two weeks of communication was given permission (or so the story went) to make a low pass but was instructed that they did not have permission to do even a touch and go, do not touch the runway. I have really been enjoying watching your videos and hope to one day fly over in Australia. Some things are just so good you have to see them from the sky.

[@iainmillar1532]

I’ve flown a C152 into Auckland twice. It was just like any other class C airport. Granted it was a few years ago now… I also used to fly commercial IFR approaches into uncontrolled airspace at Wairoa, Napier and Gisborne (the latter two operating outside ATC hours) In Ardmore they have Unicom which is a useful service but not an ATS.

[@flyingmortgageman]

I find this very interesting. I have only been flying 2 years in the south coast so busy airspace. I use Skydemon on a ipad to plan and in the air. I have flown from Bournemouth to Duxford after only 11 hours after i got my licence so a total airtime of 61 hours. I had no problems at all and find it all very simple. Perhaps as i learnt here out of a controlled airport EGHH i had a head start. I know people fear ATC but i have found them helpfull and easy to talk too. That said I only fly VFR I normally use a basic service and now i am looking at IFR I can see it might get more complicated.

[@mrmoss99]

Resident pilot at Compton Abbas here, Duxford is on my bucket list of aerodromes to visit. As someone who has been and done it, which route did you find to be successful? Many thanks

[@flyingmortgageman]

Love Compton. I am self fly hiring from there now and finding the new aircraft in much better nick than b4. I do however avoid it in winds from the south above 8-10 kts and hire from Bliss then :-) Bournemouth is lovely and easy to land at in any wind direction. Duxford was a lovely trip, I obviously phoned them first and they give you a good talk on landing proceedures and ground handling. Once airboard I just simply got a MATS over Middle Wallop and headed straight to Oxford. I was advised to then chat to Brize which suprised me as thought it would be Fanbough North. They then gave me MATZ over Benson which I had not planned but welcomed and then stayed under 3500 to avoid any possible issues with Stanstead. I called Duxford from Ashwell and was offered a long final as it was on 06 but elected to stay south and join downwind so i could have a good look at the place. However its is a big old runway and that was a bit OTT of me and i could have easily just flown straight in. Best days flying ever and its free entry for pilots and passangers at Duxford. My next Buckety list is I want to head to St Mary's on the Scilly Isles but need to get a share in something b4 that. What do you fly at Compton? @@mrmoss99

[@mrmoss99]

@@flyingmortgageman Great stuff, thank you for that. I've had a few trial flights out of BOH when I was younger, but ultimately it was far to expensive to learn & hire from there. I settled on Compton as it's a great versatile grass strip, and much much cheaper. I now have a share in a PA22 Piper Colt (G-ARKM) based there - and it's great. Not the fastest, only cruises at around 80 TAS, but ideal for what I need - and the wet rate is only £85/hr. I do sympathise with your wind argument however, we have a very strict group policy on the southerly wind limits for each runway - but for good reason. Being based there certainly keeps your xwind technique sharp, which is a bonus.

[@edmoorebsc]

Enjoyed this Stefan! I fly out of Elstree and the service there often swaps back and forth between Elstree Information and Elstree Radio depending on which people have stepped out the tower to use the bathroom :) I basically end up phrasing all my ground movement calls as requests just in case the Information FISO jumps back on.

[@ying20000818]

Just a correction, Sherburn RNP is the only uncontrolled airport IAP that is available to anyone (subject to being granted a slot, in a non-emergency). However, there are quite a few procedures that are typically unavailable to the general public but is available to commercial operators based at/air transport operators flying to that airport. For example, Barra, an uncontrolled airport, the local airlines have access to an NDB procedure. There is also a publicly published RNP but the AIP makes it so that the airport authority must give permission for it to be used.

I fly a Cirrus in the UK. It seems complex if you’re not used to it but it quickly becomes second nature. And it means that when you fly anywhere else it all seems a doddle. There are lots of disused airfields in the UK especially in the South though many are ex world war 2 or USAF bases that are now used for other things or are mothballed.

@@StefanDrury would love to see that comparison as well. This video was great as well, thank you.

[@henryhunter2918]

Good video, thanks Stefan. On the different level of services outside controlled airspace, for VFR it’s really only Basic Service (the name says it all) or Traffic Service (you might get told about traffic, but no guarantees!). Deconfliction service is only available to IFR flights, and very rarely used. Procedural service, also for IFR flights is actually not a radar service as you hinted - like the name suggests it’s for pilots typically following an instrument procedure with no radar coverage. Aircraft using the service and following a procedure are given traffic information about each other by the controller, based on pilots reporting their positions in the procedure. So again no guarantees and there might be other aircraft not on the service around you, so beware. Yes, it all sounds complicated, in practice it isn’t really - most pilots flying VFR rely on their eyes and sometimes EC devices like PilotAware or SkyEcho. As my instructor colleague is fond saying to his students: “What does VFR stand for? It’s stands for Look out the F*****n Window” 😅

I’m watching the start of this thinking this is something the flying reporter would be good to answer. And there he was 😂

[@aprendoespanol6833]

duxford is duxford info which means they control your movements on the ground but not in the air. So you can't move until there is someone in the tower clearing you to do so. I fly there often mainly for the museum and all the spitfires, hurricanes, biplanes from 1930s.

[@fireflyrobert]

In UK with Air Ground (call sign Bloggsville “RADIO”) I used to teach that the reason you are making radio calls is to advise other airspace users where you are and what you intend to do. You are emphatically NOT asking for permission from the Air Ground Operator (This is separate to PPR which is the airfield owner granting permission to use the airfield in accordance with any restrictions, eg operating hours). Same applies with Bloggsville “INFORMATION” EXCEPT they control you on the ground only. If the call sign is Bloggsville “TOWER” you now have licensed ATC so are obliged to follow the controller’s instructions subject to flight safety. Where I instructed for many year we only had Air Ground (Bloggsville RADIO) but a building which looked like a “control tower”. However when instructing I referred to it as the Air/Ground OPERATORS building and if I heard any pilot or student referring to it as a tower they would be politely corrected and/or educated. Airfields in the UK which are not in a Control Zone only have an Aerodrome Traffic Zone but by definition this is not controlled airspace although there are certain rules to obey such as all turns to the left (unless notified otherwise in the case of a right hand circuit) and conforming to the pattern made by other traffic. Operating outside controlled airspace (Class G) below FL100 LEGALLY you don’t need a radio or a transponder. (Only exception is a Radio Mandatory Zone at a few locations but let’s leave those aside for the moment). Generally it makes sense to use available ATC services though. The pilot requests which service is required on initial call. Bloggsville Approach CALLSIGN Request Basic or Traffic or Deconfliction Service. My take is that if the weather is good all I want is a Basic Service. Quite often you will be given a transponder code but under Basic you are NOT in receipt of a radar service. If the weather isn’t so good then I’m looking for a Traffic service where ATC will advise traffic and it is down to the PILOT to use that information to avoid if deemed necessary. Personally in GA in the UK below FL 100 I’d never want a Deconfliction Service since it’s too restrictive in busy airspace and this assumes ATC workload means they can give you a Deconfliction Service. Hope this helps. In fact once you know the ropes it’s quite simple really.

[@jollyrogererVF84]

Great video. I like your delivery style👍 It's great to get an overseas view of what everyone here thinks is normal 😂 I know that's true for everywhere 🤷

[@thomasdalton1508]

The reason for the PPR requirements is the airports/aerodromes in the UK are privately owned. There aren't municipal airports in the UK like there are in a lot of countries. Naturally, if you are going to land on someone's private property, you need their permission. You shouldn't have any difficulty getting that permission, though - even just calling up on the radio when you are 10 miles out and asking nicely will probably work in most cases, although that isn't recommended. They much prefer people to call in advance so they can communicate noise abatement rules - they are paranoid about them because if too many pilots don't follow them and local residents complain to the council about planes flying low over their houses, the aerodrome could get shut down.

[@dr_jaymz]

If what you're saying is that its overly complicated and creates an atmosphere of uncertainty which makes people avoid flying in many places then you're correct and it has to be 100pc intentional. With cost spiralling, building homes on airports, only a hard core of pilots 60 years old or more bother and soon they will be gone too such that the airlines will have their way with all the airspace above 2000ft and all the airspace below that will belong to Amazon and GA will not be a thing.

[@martinluton6513]

Sadly, I believe you’ve hit the nail on the head with this comment.

[@nigeleaton5715]

Interesting video. Part of the reason for the departure restrictions at Duxford is that (as you noted) the UK is pretty small. There are a number of villages around the airfield, and noise abatement is a real thing.

[@SimonAmazingClarke]

Glad you had a good time over here. A lot of the smaller air strips have PPR, Prior Permission Required because as unlicensed Air fields they are only allowed to operate for up to 28 days a year. More than that and their status needs to change.

[@thomasdalton1508]

You don't need an aerodrome licence to operate for more than 28 days. You just need planning permission. There are loads of unlicensed aerodromes that are open every day. Those operating under the 28 day rule are usually private farm strips for the use of the owner and, maybe, their friends.
