[@philipgledhill7227]

I ben and Philippe how's the top guy's doing ok keeping fit and well brilliant flight beautiful scenery in a awesome cirrus.you two take care and look after yourself's philip.

[@brgsstm]

This brought back some great memories for me. I was doing my PPL out of Manchester School of Flying in 2005 onwards (until MSF had to leave EGCC). It was awesome to be in and out of EGCC in a PA28, it just wasn't the same when we all transitioned to Ravenair's PA38's out of Barton.

[@HamSweetHam25]

Hey Ben, do you think that you’d be able to do a video of a full flight, from planning, startup, flight, everything... for new/ aspiring PPL holders? :)

[@mikejreading]

The line-up-and-wait instruction for the Airfield Ops vehicle, followed by the laughter from ATC brought a rather large smile to my face!

[@TheFlyingReporter]

Brilliant. Really good to see you consider the glide clear rule too.

[@hakan737]

absolutly amazing team work about production and one of the greatest educational flight video. Million thanks for your sharing.

[@steveman7251]

Cool to see this. I learnt to fly there in 1996/97 before Ravenair moved to Liverpool to make way for the new runway. It was amazing to be sharing a runway with the big stuff every lesson and straight in the deep end regarding RT.

[@peterbailey5432]

Ben, loved watching that, superb flying and what an experience!

[@russ8211]

Nicely flown Ben. I did my Transition sign off in the same Cirrus with Phillipe!

[@garydell2023]

Thank you Ben for the work that you and your team put into the videos. Fly safe

[@nicknocturnal6572]

Fabulous video as always Ben 👍🏼

[@therepguy1]

I still want to see you fly somewhere (round trip) in a Cirrus Vision Jet SR50

[@PlaneOldBen]

Haha that’s planned for early in the year don’t you worry!

[@ianguynz]

Great video, so many questions... 1) Is the Cirrus able to operate fully IFR? The glass cockpit is amazing, nothing like the C150 I am used to. That is a reliant Robin compared to your Tesla! 2) Did your instructor punch in the Transponder code on the display on the right? 3) That same display, was it showing the checklists like an Airbus?

[@RiyadhK]

Loved this! Wish I was up there with you guys 👏🏻👏🏻

[@averypedro5058]

i know Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know of a good website to stream new series online?

[@redcastle3522]

Just curious , are other flight schools more chilled when it comes to speed than mine , because my instructor would go mad if my speed fluctuated like that

[@av8bear385]

Awesome experience, excellent video again Ben!

[@greghowarth2026]

the instructor, is he the same instructor flew with steveo1kinevo in the twin?

[@RichardWilliams-lz5eq]

Wow what an experience! That must have taken some planning - and some very polite pleases! Lovely to see ATC relaxed but professional - sounds like you've got an interesting final product coming from all this work! I know the Cirrus is prettier (don't tell the Arrow I said so!) But I still can't quite love the big glass ;) Great video once again, sir!

[@keithmoore4776]

Another great video Ben, thanks and Merry Christmas!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks Keith merry xmas!!

[@MrAlwaysBlue]

I had hoped to fly in with my microlight to visit the family. The £25,000 landing fee put me off.

[@CAXAviation]

Great job as usual! Hope you had a cracking Christmas

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks Charlie, you too!!

[@JodelFlyer]

Slowly catching up on my viewing Ben. Very much enjoyed this the team did well to capture all of the different shots which made for a interesting film. Don't understand the number of 'dislikes'. Well done to you, the team and Manchester Airport!

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

Great video... You put all those cameras to good use! ...

[@TheBarnem13]

Top notch as always EGCC were v acmodating awesome stuff thanks Ben!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you, they were awesome with us!

[@wayneharrison2358]

Looks like you had fun making that video. Nice landing.

[@PlaneOldBen]

It was really good fun, something I never thought I would do. Thanks for watching!

[@UAL1kFlyer]

Really well done vid. Why do you have to get permission for engine start? It didn’t seem unduly delayed, but if ATC did that here in the US, people would go nuts. Also the video while you were taxing from another vehicle was very, very cool.

[@chefexcellence9984]

its required in Europe to request engine start

[@TJFlyingAdventures]

@@chefexcellence9984 Makes me really appreciate how easy it is to fly in the US!

[@ricardowiltshire9855]

@@TJFlyingAdventures the reason why the are regulations (normally) is because they are to prevent problems that have already occurred unlike your backwards system in USA.

[@mcdonnell761]

There are 3 main reasons but 2 are based on fuel consumption. 1. There are strict emissions and noise regulations in the EU and a way to keep that down is to limit when aircraft can and can't start their engines. 2. Airports have limited supplies of fuel which is expensive so to keep costs down they prevent the airlines from just running their engines whenever they want. 3. There is usually a wait between aircraft calling ground for clearance to their destination and the aircraft being ready for taxi. This is due to boarding passengers, loading cargo, fuelling etc etc. Yes this won't really affect small GA but rather than having multiple regulations depending on aircraft type it's easier to just put a blanket rule in force for everyone. Most small airfields won't need you to call up for engine start (this info will be found on your airport charts) it will be mandatory for all passenger aircraft. There are other safety reasons to protect ground crew and equipment around the airfield. It doesn't add any extra time to the departure of aircraft and most aircrew be they American, British or wherever don't see it as a nuisance, just another radio call.

[@UAL1kFlyer]

Niall McDonnell Thanks, that’s interesting. There are even some airports here in the US that don’t want to hear from you until your run up is done (KAPA is one).

[@FlightBytes]

Cracking landing!

[@webbyrj]

Ben. Just stumbled on this video by accident, and then realised it was you. Very good indeed. What a surprise. 👍🏻🤗🕸

[@PlaneOldBen]

Ah thanks a lot Richard hope you’re keeping well!
