Flying With Matt

Flying With Matt

Hi and welcome to my channel. I’m a private pilot currently based at Barton Aerodrome, Manchester. I fly the Eurostar.

I started my training for the NPPL licence in 2019 with Breeze Aviation at Sherburn Aero Club in North Yorkshire. I’ve tried to upload videos showing my learning journey and from now, my adventures as a qualified pilot.

Please note, my videos are heavily edited. As such, checks and radio calls will be regularly omitted. What you see isn’t always how it occurred and some scenarios may be taken out of context. Please make no judgment based on these videos. Full passenger safety briefings are always carried out and their welfare is my number one priority.

I'd be really pleased to hear your comments and answer any questions you might have - and please do subscribe!

Please remember, these videos are for entertainment only.

    Hi Matt, well a year on and I’m guessing you have got comfortable with the Skyranger, they also side slip really well with that boxy shape btw. I installed a rudder bias on mine which helps in various configurations, whether two up or taking off etc. IMHO the 100 hp is the way to go, the climb out is it’s party trick.

    I came from a Cessna 172 to an X-Air 582. I only learnt how to use the rudder in the X-Air. Made a huge difference. When I started on the Skyranger it was a much easier transiton, only becuase of the rudder work I learnt in the X-Air. Great video Matt! We all learn from these.

    Another great highly watchable video from You and Sarah... I love seeing these small UK airfields.. I fly flight sim and its nice sometimes to copy a flight like this.. Perhaps in the future (You may have done this on future videos I have not seen yet) to do a flight plan /Map, just a suggestion.. Wish my wife was interested in flying like Sarah, she is scared of flying so I have just to stick to RC Helicopters/fixed wing and the sim.. Thanks again Matt

    Hey Matt, it’s Paul. Absolute correct decision to go back, you don’t want to put yourself in a risky position. Weather sometimes looks fine from the ground but is completely different once in the air. I went up on Saturday and the showers where phenomenal. I’ll do Welshpool with you when your free.

    Brilliant video sir. Id love to get my license but so many questions unanswered. The cost for lessons? The rough time it takes to complete? Cost of the plane and costs of running? If you could shed some light that would be amazing.

  • @flyingwithmatt1986
    @flyingwithmatt198611 ай бұрын

    Thanks! Lessons average about £130 per hour. You need to have a minimum of 25 hours but realistically is more like 40 hours. You could pass in a few months if you have lessons every week or every other week. It took me around 1.5 years of lessons here and there. You can buy a ‘microlight’ for a little as £4K, but for something nice you need a minimum of £25k-£40k. I hire per hour at a flying club. That’s £40/month and £80 per flying hour all in. Hope that helps.
