Glad you enjoyed it

Great Video Steve, my favourite part was talking about purpose on descent while popping the ears with the valsalva maneuver!!

Haha yes! I’m getting better at multitasking!

Neat video Steve. Did I spot an Icom IC-706 on the far right of the panel there? I assume you're using that for HF comms.

Thanks!

I’ve heard a few people in aviation pronounce Quirindi wrong, especially people based out of Sydney. It’s Quirin-die just for future reference Kinda like its close neighbour Murrurundi. Easy mistake I guess when you have a suburb in Sydney called Yarrumundi. 😂 But yeah fun fact for you. Nice video, I hear you on centre flying that thing around quite regularly.

Great! Thanks for the tip. I’ll get it right next time.

If I remember lost comms procedures (if you had of had both radios die), squawk 7600, listen on the nav aids if able, since you're VMC land at a appropriate airport (which is probably shellharbour anyway) and transmit anyway with "transmit blind". I need to revise all this stuff before my instrument flight test in a couple weeks.

That’s it. Fortunately I still had COM2 working fine… and then COM1 came good again. Strange!
