RAF Wittering Talkdown - Precision Approach Radar (PAR)

[@AnthonyHigham6414001080]

Thank you for that, nicely flown. Great to practice PAR so you know if you ever really needed it you'd have no problems. I used to regularly request PAR into what was then RAF Manston in Kent.

Thank you Anthony, glad you liked the video! Indeed, it's good to have done it so it's nothing unknown should I need it in the future! It could be a life-saver potentially.

Primera vez que veo una PAR desde cabina. Solo la estudie como teoría en la carrera y en el ATPL. ¡Muy buen vídeo!

[@jibeneyto91]

¡Buenas Santi! ¡Me alegro mucho de que te gustara! Es un vídeo especial, difícil de encontrar por ahí en tan buena calidad de vídeo/audio.

Is there a document which describes the procedure and phraseology? We don't have such opportunities in Czech republic, so I am interested in how exactly it works :)

Military AIP, CAP radiotelephony manual. it’s free to view online

Excellent PAR approach. Hope to do the same next week. I’d be very interested to know the video equipment used? Thanks.

We learned this at Army ATC school in the 90s at Fort Rucker, AL. Only difference is we gave actual heading corrections. I don't understand the "right of center line correct it nicely.". I understand what it means but is that what the controller is saying?

[@jibeneyto91]

Hey Nick, thanks for your comment. I think he's saying "correcting nicely", as in, the tendency is to get back on track. It's not an instruction.

nicely done. I did my CPL skills test in this aircraft... that avidyne PFD is horrible!

[@jibeneyto91]

Hi Chris, thanks for your message! I hope your CPL test went flawlessly!

Nice quality video/audio of the PAR, did you pre book with wittering and if so, were they ok about it. or did you just call them en route?

[@jibeneyto91]

Hey Andy, thanks! I rang them just before departing to confirm they could accommodate. They had NOTAMed they welcomed traffic that day.

[@andycampbell5491]

@@jibeneyto91 Did they charge you or need to see insurance? im trying to book a PAR at waddington and they just have no process for civvy aircraft.

[@togacontrol6153]

What are the landing fees like at wittering

[@jibeneyto91]

It didn't cost me anything at all! I was making the controllers there a favour by providing them a target to practice with.

[@togacontrol6153]

Do they still offer this?@@jibeneyto91
