PA28 Flight Vlog - Gloucester To White Waltham | ATC Audio

[@joeirwin6212]

Ben, please make a video about your job acceptance at Flybe. And how easy/difficult getting your first airline job was, this would be very helpful.

[@janjyot1457]

Joe Irwin he got a job at flybe?

[@philipgledhill7227]

I Ben hope you are well. Brilliant flight for you and the weather was very good for you.nice scenery.philip enjoyed your video hope to see one day for some lessons. Take care and look after yourself philip.

[@ozzypearson-leach4121]

I've spent about 5 hours today just watching these, its a mix of education and comedy, as well as a vlog that you don't get from other channels.

Hello from Wisconsin. The radio calls are certainly detailed, but flowed smoothly. Very interesting to see England from the air in a general aviation airplane. One misses too much out the window of an Airbus.

[@chrisstacey282]

I just flew G-BUIF from Bristol to Gloucester! Weird to see you in the same aircraft

[@PlaneOldBen]

Aha awesome!

[@harrykirby1369]

Another Quality PA28 trip, lovely job!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks Harry! Hope to visit Turweston soon!

[@garydell2023]

Liked the flight Ben. All your videos are well presented. Thank you. Fly safe

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you Gary!

[@nicknocturnal652]

Hi Ben, good advice about the advance Overhead radio calls... i flew to Bembridge yesterday and was very keen to let other aircraft know “where” I was and where I was going.

[@Jedilax1]

Just browsing you videos Ben and spotted G-BUIF.. have used her a few times, for training, out of Aeros Cardiff..she is a fun little number.

[@lee-johnston]

I did my PPL skills test in G-BUIF when based at Newcastle about 4 years ago! When do you start your Type Rating? Just literally finished the mod 3 revision week at BGS, can't wait to get the ATPLs out of the way!!

[@monkmodemalik8225]

Hi, how’s your training going? Are you commercial now

[@timothycater9055]

So cool to see you guys departing Gloucester! I'm doing my PPL there at the moment :)

[@PlaneOldBen]

That’s awesome hope you’re enjoying it!

[@ThomasStenbakk]

Great video Ben! White Waltham was such a nice airfield. About 37 degrees the day I was there at CRM for the JOC, and lots of activity. Would have been fun to fly there at some point. A bit daunting with the UK phraseology with the joins, deadside, etc. But I guess it's just habit. So much simpler in Norway :D

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks Thomas, hope you enjoyed the MCC JOC!

[@user-yo9jf5zw8r]

Another great video as usual! Great to see how far you’ve advanced in your aviation career and it shows with your constant professionalism in the cockpit! Some food for thought (And this is by no means critiquing your flying), when I was taught how to complete a carb heat check I was told to keep the carb heat pulled out, or “warm”, for at least 7-10 seconds. That way if you do have any ice build up the RPM drop will be more apparent than doing a short burst of carb heat. Keep up the great content and all the best in future flying endeavours!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Liam F thanks a lot Liam! I usually keep it on for 5-7 seconds but that’s a fair point I’ll review it and see if I’ve got into a habit of not having it on quite long enough!

[@gordonbruce2416]

I’ve recently been taught on our Jodel to do the Carb Ht Chk turning on to downwind as it takes time to complete while monitoring the RPM. Then it does not delay the pre-landing checks.

[@benmillward5045]

Training at Waltham myself, great to see a flight there! :)

[@roshanperera2261]

Hi Ben, great video as always,where did you do your hour building and any good tips,Thanks

[@PlaneOldBen]

I didn’t really do hour building I had about 250 hours when I started commercial training!

[@tomdebomb8845]

I start flight training next year sooo exited 😬😃😁

[@PlaneOldBen]

Good luck with all your training!

[@tomdebomb8845]

Thank you 🙏

[@leehewitt9559]

Awesome as always, Ben!

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Great flight Ben 👍👍 Didn’t know it is the biggest grass field in Europe either. Every day is a school day!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks for watching!

[@PrivatePilotFlightVlogs]

Plane Old Ben enjoy the base training 👍👍

[@CAXAviation]

Very nice! Just catching up after missing this one due to being a bit busy. Hope Flybe is going well for you

[@baronvonwinkle1470]

I’ve flown India Foxtrot out of Coventry a few times!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Fantastic aircraft!

[@baronvonwinkle1470]

Certainly is, one of my fav.

[@pureblood1978x]

I learned to fly in India Fox! Great little aircraft.

[@PlaneOldBen]

That’s great, seems like a lot have flown it!

[@DaveMiller72]

Blimey, I've got a few hours on India Fox, from when she was based up in Newcastle.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Such a great aircraft!

[@pureblood1978x]

Yeah it was the first aircraft I ever flew with PTT in Newcastle. Loved it!

[@jackbrasier-creagh9139]

Ben, did u need Military clearance through Brize? I don’t think it’s military airspace

[@PlaneOldBen]

Their main airspace is class D which we were above!

[@jackbrasier-creagh9139]

Plane Old Ben, ah right. Thanks once again :)

[@samirving6781]

Notice how the yoke on BUIF pulls out to the left when you pull back haha

[@PlaneOldBen]

Yeh bants

[@__qux4705]

You’re so close to where I’m training - Enstone. You might want to go there; on your trips

[@PlaneOldBen]

I haven’t been I’ll put it on the list!

[@peanuts2105]

I went there last month. Not much happens there because it’s a bit quiet and the club house is a bit tired. Decent runway though

[@Bengilmore]

Awesome new video mate!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you!

[@jtecxplayz4464]

how do you "clear your ears" when dealing with the pressure change when climbing and descending

[@simon.t-c]

JTecX PlayZ have a drink of water or swallow. Do not blow with your nose covered as this can force the Eustachian tube to close.

[@abdulmunimkhamis2215]

white waltham is the best flying club

[@flyluke]

That butter came from Infinite Flight 😉

[@PlaneOldBen]

Such a good way to practice flying!
