Scenic 200nm Flight | Blackpool To Oban Scotland | ATC Audio

We depart Blackpool VFR en-route to Oban, Scotland in the PA28. Sadly en-route there was low cloud near Prestwick so we transitted their Class D Controlled Airspace IFR before joining Oban visually to land.

[@KEITHGEE1000]

Now that’s how to travel to the lunch venue!! Great report, thanks.

[@garydell2023]

Hello Ben. Thank you for this video and using the Piper again. Great flight with some changes enroute but that makes things interesting doesn't it? Enjoyed it. Keep flying safe.

[@PlaneOldBen]

It was a nice flight just such a shame we couldn’t see much of Scotland!

[@garydell2023]

Somehow I missed this video. Watching it now on the computer. Enjoyedit. Keep flying safe and keep current.

[@stevensteve3671]

Very nice Ben. Great to see another video. I'm working on my landings at the moment and always appreciate the details you provide re pre-landing checks and the cockpit view (speed and altimeter in the circuit). Btw nice landing it did look quite gusty! Thanks for sharing! Steven.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you Steven, good luck with your landings!

[@colinbrettell3136]

Good flight. Subscribed and looking forward to joining future flights. Cheers

[@kennymaclaurin3683]

My family stay right next door to oban airport.....glad it gets plenty use yet

[@kevchilton908]

Another great video Ben. Thank you for sharing, keep them coming!

[@PlaneOldBen]

Cheers Kevin!

[@jackharrison6771]

Very nice flight Ben. But beg to differ on the coast being boring, comment. tired of our coast could mean tired of life. it's a lovely coast, all the way.I know it from land, sea and air. More please.

[@MaxCosgrave]

Great video as always Ben, loving the work. I love hearing you on Blackpool's frequency too :)

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks a lot Max!

[@JodelFlyer]

Nice video Ben. You captured some stunning views on the way. Great stuff.

[@PlaneOldBen]

You should take the Jodel up there!

[@JodelFlyer]

It is on my bucket list along with Glenforsa but Paul Aspin said I should then fly up the Great Glen and visit Dornoch and Easter!

[@jackvisser]

Another great Video TY

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thanks Jack!

[@justmejonboy]

This is my favourite of your many videos I think Ben, including the night return. Not sure why, maybe you can tell me, but I'd of loved to of seen the decent through the cloud into Oban, they always seem to be edited out.

[@paulmatley8818]

So that burger isn't a McDonald's it's going to be a McDougall...aye laddie :) Great video. I often see OP flying about and wonder if you're at the controls.

[@PlaneOldBen]

The burger was fabulous!

[@michaelmiklosofficial]

It's on my list to go Oban and is very scenic

[@barrymontgomery408]

I have got 1 question for you ben and its this how long does it take to 0ban from blackpool.

[@FTStratLP]

Thank you for this great video Ben. It made me subscribing to your channel. May I ask you, is this your dad and your brother?

[@yogihaughton]

So how much would a flight like this cost you? Do u have to pay the airports to land? Fuel? Etc

[@ATCAJAMES]

1 minuets in and loving it

[@PlaneOldBen]

Thank you!

[@Ben-ze8up]

you need to go to Glenforsa!

[@peanuts2105]

Ben McGuiness cant wait to do that from London Denham!

[@Otacatapetl]

That approach is like a small-scale version of Kai Tak.

[@PlaneOldBen]

Aha isn’t it just!

[@ehsanulhoque4327]

How do you connect the ATC audio

[@PaulHumphries68]

Another superb video Ben. Burning question, how do you embed the Skydemon into your videos? I've googled it but clearly can't get the search right to find out!

[@danielmoore3977]

Hi Ben, what instrument rating did you have at this point in your pilot life, IR or IR(R) ?

[@jimmcintosh9045]

Prefer the pressure in old money ie. millibars , it rolls off the tongue better but I was an old Met observer!

[@EinkOLED]

I guess it doesn't feel like you've left Blackpool when you're greeted by Oban Tower with a Bolton accent.

[@6robertdavey]

I spotted that, too, and wondered if I was hearing things.

[@pplir2000]

Could you tell mewhere you got those big stick on mounts for the GoPros?

[@jo5ef]

thank you, awesome video, as always! but why would the QNH change and the QFE remain the same at 09:31?

[@PlaneOldBen]

Probably due to rounding up or down, the elevation at Blackpool only creates a 1mb difference in QNH / QFE usually.

[@jo5ef]

( : interesting, thx

[@airwood99]

How about Campbeltown ? then VFR round Arran

[@PlaneOldBen]

I definitely want to come back up again soon!

[@joshcohen3951]

do u put landing gear up and down or is it always down

[@Masterkruizer]

Fixed non retractable on that aircraft

[@JohnF677]

Why not fly to Barra? it would sure make a good video.

[@PlaneOldBen]

It’s on my list!!

[@stephennelson7884]

Twotter is the rating I always wanted but never got round to....used one for freight in Mozambique in the 70s. Have you flown one Ben?

[@jaye26]

I,M IN OBAN

[@TheFlyingReporter]

That's my favourite London Information FISO.

[@scottthomson8876]

Was that a 181 or 161

[@PlaneOldBen]

161!

[@scottthomson8876]

I thought it would be. I fly a 140 and a 181

[@Persephone_]

200 nanometres? Damn that’s impressive 😅

[@PlaneOldBen]

Isn’t it just!
