We flew General Aviation into Amsterdam Schiphol with AviaVIP

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

A brief tour of Amsterdam Schiphol's specialised General Aviation facility. We then return to the UK after a brief visit to the Netherlands. Learn more about this trip, including the cost of landing at Schiphol, here: www.theflyingvlog.uk/flying-into-amsterdam-schiphol/

Love this one Robbie, didn't even know this was possible.

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

It's very much possible! Glad you enjoyed it, will you pay a visit?

[@markor2476]

Man nicely done, can't wait to do this myself.

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

Thanks for watching. Please do it!

[@andymorris15]

great video - super insightful with all the camera angles and radio recorded also. The workload at the bigger airport looks awesome! Are you going to go the full way and do atpl/cpl?

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

Thanks for watching! Very appreciative with the comment and I hope one day to go for my ATPL/CPL yes. It was a great trip to Amsterdam.

[@marklee1462]

Great video. I tried that kneeboard on a da42 and found it restricted the centre stick so sent it back

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

Thanks for watching! Oh no, was it the same one from Pooleys?

[@HugoPeeters]

Thanks for sharing including the cost. Seeing your kneeboard in place during landing was making me slightly nervous. I would stow that before entering the circuit.

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

Hi, Thanks for watching. I can understand that, but it's design allows full and free movement of the stick. Additionally as most of my flights are IFR, I've never ever considered stowing it as I need it for go-around instructions or anything passed to me.

[@markor2476]

Do those life vests come with a strobe light? And if so mind sharing where you found them?

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

They don't, but for ones that good, you are looking at maybe £500 each?

[@EtiRats]

Nice job, well done both on the mission and the video. Had a look at your Vlog for an idea of costs, and bearing in mind how busy Schiphol is the fees are not the expected exercise in daylight robbery! As you say, try doing that at many other capital airports and the costs quickly become prohibitive. Impressed by how you operate, quite the two crew team you’ve got going on there. Do you fly commercially too? As an owner-operator also of a light single, my main concern flying IFR around Europe in winter is icing. That said you seemed to have successfully avoided the white stuff. Happy landings 😊

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

Hi, Thanks for watching - it's much appreciated. Yes, it's the only airport in the world of this size and for a capital city that you can walk away with some change. Most people that fly with me have some understanding of aviation, it's very rare that I've ever got anyone that's not aviation related in a light aircraft but I have done so a few times. I sadly don't fly commercially, yet but it's something I've always dreamed off. What aircraft do you fly? Icing for me is a concern all year around and most times I've had it, have been the very warm summer months.

[@EtiRats]

@@TheFlyingVLOG I am currently owned by a Piper PA-24 Comanche, fairly elderly approaching her sixth decade, but still getting it done IFR around Europe. 😊

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

Very nice! Where are you based? How long you been flying for?

[@EtiRats]

@@TheFlyingVLOG nominally Turweston, though occasionally found in SW France. Comanche has been with us for three years, though I’ve been licenced to cause aerial havoc for somewhat longer…..

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

Nice. I don't think I've ever been, where in SW France do you fly?

[@XanderGonnaEatYu]

[@szaniszl]

Can you remind me how much you paid in total for landing/handling/departure/airways?

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

Total Costs Amsterdam: EUR €409.19 incl VAT (£349.84)

[@szaniszl]

@@TheFlyingVLOG that is pretty steep, but you got EHAM in your logbook now!

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

Yes, but considering the shear size of the place. It's not bad

[@marklee1462]

Did I miss your departure ifr clearance

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

It took place 25 mins before getting in the aircraft as per the documentation sent to me, so never included it.

[@jojoelsprao]

Pfoeee almost a birdstrike

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

It was a close one, especially with the sun low and setting towards the route we were climbing at.

[@JoepHeki]

👍👍

[@TheFlyingVLOG]

Thanks for watching :)

[@smirnovv]

out of interest, how much did it cost all in all to land, and be handled at GA ramp in AMS on the DA40?

Extremely panic copilot

I would say it was a great decision to alert me though.

[@diamondda6254]

I am curious where and who she’s sending 😂
