I am really hoping that they don't have an alarm
Oh!
Moon! Today's video is going to be a short story about overcoming laziness you see it's
six o'clock in the morning as i record this my wife needs the car back home at 11 o'clock and
i had two options today my first option would have been to stay in my comfortable warm bed
uh stay at home for the whole day and not achieve very much
my second option was to set my alarm for 4 30 in the morning
come down to the airport instead and watch the sunrise
so we've all been stuck at home for the last two years we've covered lockdowns i just i really
figured that 2022 for me has got to be a year of overcoming that laziness and just getting out
having experiences and adventures whenever i get the chance so even though i've only got a
couple of hours this morning it's just a perfect opportunity it's a beautiful day it's a clear sky
perfect opportunity to get out and remind myself remind myself what the world looks like
grabbing traffic serious echo yankee zulu is entering and rolling runway one
seven left it'll be a downwind departure climbing 1500 northbound to the city
500 feet captures available
beautiful morning light and the city's dead ahead i can see balloons to the north as well
now it's bumpy on the ground but up here perfectly still what a gorgeous start today
all right gonna slow us down i'm gonna put in the transponder code for essendon
i'm going to see if i can get essendon tower on the radio it's not good morning okay we're
just approaching albert park lake from the south 1500 like to request two left-hand city orbits
okay yankee zulu cleared two left city orbits at one thousand five hundred cleared two left
city obvious one thousand five hundred academy silo traffic two hot air balloons north side of
the city uh there are 1 000 feet on descent they'll be uh potentially landing a royal
park area north of the city copy the traffic and i've got both the lanes inside will remain clear
okay
hey we have the serious visuals
that's another advantage of coming up so early in the morning i've never been that
close to the balloons coming into land over the north of melbourne before that's brilliant
and everyone else including my family and cat are fast asleep at home right now
australian open going on down there at the moment rod labour arena
okay hulu control service terminator good morning control services termination have a good day
that control service terminated just means that he's no longer responsible for me i'm responsible
for myself i've got to maintain separation from other aircraft myself now it's really quiet on
the radio i'm listening to moorabbin and the main melbourne center at the moment on the radio
and there's nobody else nobody else there no one else talking i can see one qantas aircraft just
off to my left camera probably won't pick that up ramen traffic echo yankee zulu is one zero miles
just to the north west inbound we'll be lining up for australian approach runway one seven left
roman traffic if you have watched this channel for a while you will
know that my last radiant approach um spun off a couple of other videos
which you may or may not have seen i am doing another straight in approach now
however apart from that one bit of traffic that we just had now on the radio there's no
one else here so i'm going to keep a good look out but i am going to do a straight in approach
to runway 17 just because the wind's a bit more favorable all right let's do pre-landing checks
brakes checked undercarriage mixture for boost pump arm instruments and switches are all on
one stage of flapping rabbit trapping echo yankee zulu is now on a three mile final runway one seven
left straight in approach rabbit champion five hundred five hundred feet second station flaps
having akane kazulu is on final runway one seven left full stop
not bad not bad at all if i i don't know why i'm self-rating my landings not bad i give myself
i tend to find there are two versions of me that wake up every morning they can be a lazy version
and a curious version and the lazy version just loves staying at home hanging with my family
and my cat but then there's the curious version of me which loves to get up and go out and see
the world by making this video for you obviously for youtube but a lot of this video is for me to
remind myself that this is the version of me that i like the most here's to more curiosity in 2022
