2 Landings - 1st is flat, the 2nd is OK.
I was asked by my CFI to put this short clip together so he can see what I am doing with the yoke, so you can see how the wheels are placed.

Yearly Check Ride - I went to pieces! (F.O.F.W.O.P.P.)
Переглядів 234День тому
In this video, I take you along on my yearly check ride with the experienced Captain Caz. Even though I'm no longer scared of flying, I couldn't help but feel a bit anxious about this flight. It seems I might have developed a new kind of phobia-FOFWOPP, or Fear of Flying with Other Pilots Phobia! Join me as I face this challenge head-on and push through my nerves. Recorded at the end of May 202...
Is two months too long, not to fly? Lets see. With Nicky.

      Thanks for the kinds words. I decided to get a caravan which needed a fair amount of work to get it roadworthy so I got it for £1300. You could buy a road worthy one but pay more up front. I spent about £2K doing it up as It was just a shell really with a rotten floor. I just use video cameras (Sony FDR-AX53, Panasonic VX980 and HC-V480M for the static shots). I also use a Sony ZV-E10 with a few basic lenses (18 to 55, 30 and 12mm wide angle) for the 'piece to camera' shots and also mount on a Gimbal for the roaming around shots. 👍

  • @der.Schtefan
    @der.Schtefan 2 місяці тому

    Call me German pedantic, but .... weeeeeell, technically, with Amplitude modulation, ... while the frequency of the carrier wave on AM might remain constant, the frequency of the whole output technically is a multiplication of its inputs, thus the frequency content is not constant, identical, or fixed to the carrier wave. If you modulate a 1 kHz signal via AM on a 100 MHz carrier, you will end up with 100 Mhz, plus two lobes at plus and minus 1 kHz (unless you do SSB). So did "the" frequency remain constant? Also , sorry, but the RANGE of a signal does not depend on the modulation but on the frequency used. Arguably, FM would be better audible than AM on long distances. The reason why FM is "considered" shorter range is that usually it takes a 75 kHz frequency band to modulate the signal, which means that in general a FM audio transmission eats much more bandwidth. Because of this, they are moved to higher frequency, where more space is available. AM uses very little bandwidth (with SSB it is basically just the bandwidth of your input), and thus can be put on the HF band (SSB), which has a much farther propagation, with the ionosphere even across the horizon. That is why oceanic ATC is on HF, since it needs to reach across the Atlantic. However, all other AM transmission of ATC is in the same frequency range as FM radio broadcast, the only reason why it ranges farther than you'd expect on the 100+ MHz band is that planes are flying in the sky, thus having a much less obstructed line of sight on the transmission. It is as if you'd have a 10'000 feet high radio tower with direct sight to you. Plus the ATC band is cleared of any other noise. It has nothing to do with the modulation scheme, arguably AM is worse than FM because of static.

    Are you watching television without licence in the UK? You’re probably breaking the law, too.

    Not a pilot but these sorts of videos where GA pilots go through the entire process, including radio calls, are really interesting. Would be invaluable if you were training, but generally useful for understanding aviation protocols. Given that the content is broadcast on radio anyway, thus making it public, should be no issue with using it here for educational purposes.

    Great behind the scenes there Clarkey, looking forward to getting down and seeing the studio in person and meeting the rest of the team soon!
