How many aircraft? Three.
Three aircraft today echo yankee early with me. Steven's in
team six play team six play and jack's coming along in kilo juliet november this morning
we were supposed to be flying to the wollongong air show this morning but you can probably see
it's quite windy here in moorabbin at the moment and over on the west coast it's just horrible it's
chucking it down with rain it never looked like it was going to be a good day today so whilst we've
all got the day free we thought we'd jump in some planes make our way up north where the weather's
a bit nicer perhaps do some formation flying plus there's a few airport cafes that we want to check
out as well and just make the most of having a spare day just get out and have some aviation fun
i've got kilo juliet november in front of us that's jack i'm gonna let him take off
first then romeo uniform hotels just rolling on the runway over there you won't be able to
see and the plan is to try and find a bit of a gap through these clouds which i mean you can
see there's plenty of blue around so we should be fine but we don't want to be too low down
because of all this wind that turbulence that comes off the hills is going to make it quite
rocky so instead we'll find a gap in the clouds climb up and hopefully find some smoother air
line up in turn line up in turn echoing up in turn i've not heard that before but
i'm guessing it means let kilo juliet never ever take off and then line up
coming up
following jack
515
perhaps is now available you guys up i'm up just following jack we're out to you at the
moment steph we are about seven or eight miles east of the airfield we're in the four and a
half step just getting out to the eight and a half uh about four thousand feet all right
we've just turned left over yeah no worries i'm just giving jack a bit of space rather than
cutting inside of it making a climb unless then yeah got you inside mate looking good
how pretty is that hey yeah that's incredible
are you leveling in six and a half step six and a half now
the one thing we wanted to do on this flight as well was just practice the
formation endorsement that we did a little while ago we're going to talk about by the
way that's the place we're going to today we're not going to do it i have 140is all
right i've got your visual i'm going to come up on your right side okay i am not changing this
heading i'm direct pokeball at the moment so i shouldn't be moving that's right looks like
you're about three miles two miles in front of us so we're still got a bit of time to catch up okay
okay steph i'm in key position i'll close in on you now drop it and jack is it got to check
it's easier for you guys you can come back up from tower now
just let us do this first of all
you're still doing one two five
left echelon here
i'm coming to your right side jacksonville on the line
that separation's perfect you're gonna hold that
yeah i'm happy to go lead if you guys want it's good for me yeah that sounds pretty cool do you
want to go on left step so that your camera picks it all up yeah that'd be great so if you don't
mind going in the middle jack i'll just go on your toe and i can get the front looking stuff
all right i mean on your left jack
okay that does look kind of cool it looks epic from here i can see all the phone
cameras pointing at us they were wondering if you could see that who needs willing
yeah i said you go a little bit faster i'm only running like fifty percent power which
keeps me here and maintaining something with more power steps
yeah yeah i'm good i was about 55 all right i'm coming back up a little bit
anytime you're ready to okay breaking left
why did you park there
what's a golden rudder award
steven did you just have a torch were you doing an inspection
no wonder all these paints are all broken
pokemon traffic series kilo juliet november's rolling runway zero nine to the south
all right no traffic no traffic a little bit of wind from the right follow jack take
more traffic okay so it is rolling runway zero nine climbing 6500 feet departure to the south
traffic five o'clock say altitude less than one mile
all right
five and a half what do you think the cloud base is that are gonna probably speak six
and a half all right i might stay four and a half then i'm not there yet yeah i just leveled
five and a half uh just so you guys know ir center q h is one zero one nine thank you
look at you being a commercial pilot how's five and a half down there steph
uh it's no better than four and a half to be honest it's pretty lumpy here as well
it's it's it's doable it's light to moderate yeah it's the same up here so i might just stay here
just a quick stop in total then i've noticed this about australian airports the regional
ones not the big city airport it's rare to find an airport where you've got like a really good cafe
something to see on the ground people who were there refueling options it's rare to get all of
that in one airport i'm always on the lookout for regional airports where i can stop getting coffee
get something to eat and there's not many options here especially compared to what i've seen
you know when i've been flying in the us been flying in the uk your fbos and regional
airports really do seem to cater a lot better for the private pilot who's just out on a day
trip with a group of mates like i am today so stephen's ahead jack's off to my left and
we thought we'd just be talking on the a common frequency but now we've got rid of that frequency
and we can focus on our own individual descent starts to get a lot busier obviously coming into
moravian in our case underneath the controlled airspace steps for melbourne but we're still
going to make sure we don't conflict with that there's a lot to focus on you've got to get
the weather information from rabbi and work out how we're going to get into murabi and all that
stuff so less chatter on the radio now i actually thought there'd be more turbans
coming over these hills now but it's it's not too bad the wind's pretty light outside
it's always the way though isn't it so yeah it's not too bad turbulence isn't too bad and then
mother nature goes just a reminder
is tracking overhead the field 1 500 following kilo juliet november
this was something different and because the others were doing it and i didn't want to feel
left out deciding or deciding to overfly the field and get the runway on the other side that's where
the hangar is it's less of a taxi just a little bit more flying where even though it's bumpy you
still want to try and get as much flying in as you can okay yankees always clinton they landed
oh that wind thank you so much for watching tune in to the next video to find out if we're going
to get into the wollongong air show or not we're supposed to be flying tomorrow as i record this
the weather right now though is looking a bit thank you for watching see in the next video
