And with two hours of flight (engine) time, again my longest flight ever - but thanks to my editorial work, not even close to the longest video. Since there is a clear interest in radio communications, I left most of that in, so we can see how different scenarios look like from the beginning to the end (exiting and entering a controlled airspace, calls in uncontrolled airspace, and checking in with Brussels Info for flight information services). First we flew to LFQJ to do some pattern work: we did 6 touch and go landings, the first three in relatively strong and variable crosswinds, which calmed down considerably for the second half of the circuits. These first landings were definitely difficult cross wind training. I also had a relatively hard landing, concentrating too much on correcting for the wind, and not paying enough attention to still doing the round-out properly. It happens, and as always, I show the bad landing too, there is a lot to learn from it. Then we headed back to Belgium to do some spin avoidance training (stall recovery from incipient spin phase) high over the lakes, before flying back to EBCI for a full stop landing. It was the fist time that I fuelled the aircraft, and it was also the first time that I flew with a kneeboard. Besides keeping my French cheat sheet on it, I also used it to note down the information from the ATIS while flying. As my flying skills improve, my workload can also increase. Except for checking in with Brussels Information, I did all the radio communications too. Loving every moment of it. My first solo is getting closer and closer ;) 00:00 Radio communications from initial contact to holding short of the runway 01:27 Take-off EBCI RWY 24 02:17 Leaving Charleroi CTR overhead SIERRA 02:55 Arrival to LFQJ, joining the circuit directly at the beginning of downwind 04:35 Touch and go number 1 at LFQJ RWY 23 (wind all over the place) 06:44 Touch and go number 2 (instructor helps with crosswind correction) 08:18 Touch and go number 3 (minimal instructor input for the crosswind) 09:10 A full circuit is shown (with parts sped up to 4x speed) 11:56 Touch and go number 4 (completely on my own, a bit over-corrected for the wind) 13:16 Touch and go number 5 (a bit harder landing, did not keep working in the round out...) 14:19 Touch and go number 6 (perfectly fine, could have kept flying a bit longer) 14:50 Leaving the circuit to the East 15:01 Checking in with Brussels Information 16:06 HASELL Check 17:08 Demonstration of stall recovery at the incipient spin stage (spin avoidance training) 17:50 I do the recovery three times 19:57 Start flying back to Charleroi, aiming to enter the CTR via SIERRA ECHO 20:35 Leaving the frequency of Brussels Information 20:54 Listening to the ATIS to prepare our arrival 21:49 Contacting EBCI Tower, asking for landing instructions 23:12 Overhead SIERRA ECHO, turn to SIERRA ALPHA 23:20 Overhead SIERRA ALPHA 23:47 Joining the beginning of left hand downwind for RWY 24, full approach is shown from here 26:27 Full stop landing RWY 24 28:47 Charleroi Ground
