The thrill you must feel flying over beautiful Crawley and it's great lakes.

[@Sterlingjob]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JohnBrown-io4cq]

Great flying as usual and what a pro on the radio! Thanks for sharing.

[@richardtyrer]

You’re welcome! Thank you 😄

He’s a commercial helicopter pilot, so he’s done it before.

[@peterusher1964]

Next time I'm out walking the dog on the downs behind Saltdean and I see a DA42, I'll assume it's you and give a wave. Great video !

[@richardtyrer]

Haha thanks! If I see someone waving frantically I’ll wave back! 😁

[@jasonalpha]

Great video. Lovely plane. Thanks for posting

[@richardtyrer]

Thanks Jason! 😁👍

[@edsbloggingcom]

Love these videos. Well made!

[@richardtyrer]

Thanks so much Ed! 😁👍

[@tommo2492]

GBRXZ had me in stitches, over. Great videos!

[@richardtyrer]

Haha yeah me too! I might have edited that bit out tho 😆

[@jgear320]

Found your channel recently and love the content, DA-42 is a beauty. I used to fly it as part of training and I miss it a lot, super jealous of your flights during these times!

[@richardtyrer]

Their great to fly aren’t they! The sky’s are returning to normal now which is great to hear 😄

[@NDCDA62]

Excellent video Richard - well done !!

[@richardtyrer]

Thanks Nigel! 😄

[@curiousmatt]

Fantastic video and what a superb landing.

[@richardtyrer]

Thank you! 😁

[@Coepilot]

Great video - stunning aircraft!

[@richardtyrer]

Thanks 😊

[@jeremygreenwood2668]

Stunning aircraft.

[@aeroalexGR]

Great job with the camera set-ups and flying in interesting airspace.

[@richardtyrer]

Thanks 😊

[@captainhoy8641]

Very nice - i saw you fly over my garden in Purley in the sunshine.

[@richardtyrer]

Haha will give you a wing waggle next time 😃

[@AirplaneFreak1000]

Lovely content!!

[@richardtyrer]

Thank you!

[@michaelmiklosofficial]

That 60fps does show really good details

[@freddiehull9324]

love the videos, have always been searching for someone to make quality flying videos around UK. Nearly finished my PPL at Redhill, might give it a go as well. It may be busy now but a Heathrow transit is mad! give them a call to find out, would make a great video!!

[@richardtyrer]

My friend works in the tower at Redhill so will ask him to keep a look out for you! Heathrow transit can be busy but for the transit they use a different frequency to the big jet traffic, so as the airport picks up it still shouldn't be an issue! Safe flying! 😁

[@cameraartuk]

great video............ OVER

[@jimmymendozafarias]

excellent video Tyer your da42 what reference its? greetings from Colombia

[@igclapp]

Love these views of the UK and the insight into how ATC works there. As you may know, we recently had a fatal midair crash in the US between a Cessna 208 and a paramotor at about 5,000 feet. Paramotors not required to have ADS-B or transponders so not visible to ATC. As you were flying around in this video, did you have any concern about running into a paraglider? Also if you are still planning the round-the-world trip, have you seen Wolf Reichenberger's channel? He flew a DA42 around the world. Best Regards, Ibrahim.

[@richardtyrer]

Hi Ibrahim! Thanks 😁 Yes it can be of concern, and I have seen a few of them a few thousand feet up, even above the clouds on an overcast day..... You just need to be wary of the hot spots, and remember to keep a good look out regardless of the ATC service you are receiving. I still am! Departure will be April this year. I have been in touch with Wolf and he as given some great advice!

[@igclapp]

@@richardtyrer Great, Richard! You may have noticed Wolf had a handheld marine VHF transceiver with him and was periodically in contact with ships on marine channel 16 in case he needed their help in the unlikely event of a ditching.

[@metalsmithnick8714]

Ahhh can you pay a visit to BHX at some point and fly in to Runway 15? I'll wave at you too haha

[@thecotswoldflyer]

Great video, well done! Is it me or does he have a hint of the Alan Partridge accent going on?!

[@richardtyrer]

Haha well I did live in Norfolk for a few years! So well guessed! 😁

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

@@richardtyrer A-ha!

[@smaghe]

After watching a couple of your videos I am wondering why you picked a Da42 over an Sr22t ? Seems like JetA is the way to go for a round the world trip but am curious whether you considered it. Thanks for the amazing content, which is a great starting place for my future english proficiency test.

[@richardtyrer]

My requirement was to have a twin. Not just for the world trip but for also some over water trips I would like to do around Europe in the winter. Glad you are enjoying the videos! 😁👍

[@evalios8137]

hello. awesome video. i have no vfr charts for the uk, with the europe subscription plan. did you buy them separately ?

[@richardtyrer]

Hello! Thanks so much! 😁 Yes it's an additional option to buy the NATS UK VFR Charts, believe its about £60 a year.

[@6axe1man5]

Just came across your channel.....what is it you do to be able to regularly fly such a nice DA42 and helicopters etc? Only ever flew the DA42 during MEIR-CPL, but I miss it lots 🥺

[@richardtyrer]

My main work is flying helicopters, but I bought the DA42 to do a bit trip! Hopefully once Covid settles down I will be able to finally set off! 🌍

[@6axe1man5]

@@richardtyrer whaaaaaaat.....how did you purchase it? Want to know if I’m missing something haha

[@aengberg1]

What a wonderful toy that DA42 is. Are you planning a world trip in it? If so, twin piston is the way to do it... after all, what's the point if you can't see the world you're flying over?

[@MarioNek944]

Could you confirm that it was route over London city between isle of dogs and lee Valley ?? How did you expect that route? I couldn't find it on chart as visual points. Thanks

[@richardtyrer]

It's just from experience from what I have done before! There are no VRP's on the chart but ATC will know instantly what you want (and more importantly it gives them confidence in you if it's busy).

[@MickeLang]

Mate the RH cowling looks polished 😜😂 #basicservice

[@richardtyrer]

Polished by Diamond's most qualified polisher 😂

[@heli-crewhgs5285]

Does this a/c have a parachute in the cabin roof?

[@richardtyrer]

Not this aircraft! Think that's more of a Cirrus thing!

[@1980BMN]

What flew past at 07.14?

[@AB-qn9cs]

Do you still fly 910RW ? It's based at my local a lot these days (Prestwick)! Wondered if you were ever the one taking it in/out :)

[@richardtyrer]

No longer in 910RW..... but I do fly another similar TBM! I do miss RW though, great aircraft!

[@jemwinder]

Hi Richard. Great Video. Sorry if the question has already been asked but what camera are you using the in cockpit? Thanks Jeremy The Bald FLyer

[@richardtyrer]

Hello! Thank you! The 360 camera is a GoPro Max, then I also use a Hero 9 Black for the cockpit audio/instrument view, and a Hero 8 Black for the wing and general panning! 😁

[@tez4274]

Have you stopped doing these video's, Richard? They're excellent btw.

[@AB-qn9cs]

That guy using "Over" needs a printed hardback of CAP 413 slapped across his dome... lol

[@richardtyrer]

Haha it did crack me up a bit! But great to see ATC help anyone no matter how they transmit!

[@3204clivesinclair]

Great video Use to fly out of Popham, Old Sarum and Thruxton before I held any instrument ratings, many years ago. With only steam cockpits, I would avoid airspaces like this. Scooting around to visit Shoreham, Bembridge and the occasional trip to Cherbourg. Lot different now with Glass cockpits, iPads, Foreflight, etc.

[@richardtyrer]

Thank you! Yes your right, iPad's and Glass Cockpits have made life much easier to achieve trips through busier airspace! But it's still doable without, and quite fun to try!

[@tompacker3533]

What is the 360 degree camera called?

[@richardtyrer]

It's a GoPro Max!

[@MAGApepe]

kool :))

[@richardtyrer]

Thanks! 😁

[@wayne.pictures]

nice use of the 360

[@richardtyrer]

Thank you! It's a great camera for this type of filming!

[@halfrhovsquared]

I had to laugh, when you panned around to show your “cringe-face”. That was my reaction, too !!

[@richardtyrer]

Haha, I did have a small giggle after! 😁

[@alpyldzlar4601]

Can you increase the voice of ATC?

[@richardtyrer]

Thanks for the feedback! It shouldn’t be difficult to do that! 😄

[@halfrhovsquared]

@@richardtyrer - I’d suggest increasing your side-tone a little, too. Your “intercom” audio is a lot hotter than your “transmit audio”.

[@davescockpit]

what headset do you use?

[@richardtyrer]

Clarity Aloft! Good passive protection, good for tall blokes in small aircraft! 😁👍
