Just had around 10hours after the PPL skill test and this video really gives me a brief look on how a zone transit to be done in a easy and professional way.

Thanks for this I’m a Southampton lad who is living in Leicester now but Lee on Solent brings back happy memories of my younger years going to the air shows and the hovercrafts which used to enter the Solent on the left hand side.

Fantastic and well put together. Showing everything your doing and doing it so clear. So fascinating to watch makes feeling like playing a simulator better doing a check list like you are professionally

Another fantastic video Richard. Since Jaunty17 stopped, I've been looking for another quality DA42 channel, and you're it. Please keep it up. What would be nice is reading out the power and speed settings once you're on the approach :-) Oh and thanks for waiting to film the Spitfire take-off at the end!
