Planning the Daventry Corridor

Barely a few days had passed and I was already planning my next IFR trip. I had a mental list of all the people that I had previously turned down due to my ongoing IR training, of which as result any additional trips outside of this training detail were cancelled. I wanted to go somewhere that I hadn’t been before and most importantly I didn’t want to fly too far due to the sheer cost I had spent on the previous months flying. The idea of this flight was to boost my Instrument Rating Confidence, along with experience an international airport outside my comfort zone.

So I invited a friend I hadn’t flown with in at least 8 years. This would be his first time in this specific aircraft and he had family connections in Sheffield, so the obvious choice would be an airways flight to Doncaster Sheffield [EGCN].

Any suggestions or proof-reading welcome;

A short IFR Airways flight to Doncaster Sheffield for some Whitby’s Fish & Chips. The London TMA is getting busier and busier. We conduct an ILS/DME onto Runway 20 into DSA/EGCN after flying the TNT 1D arrival and I give some oversight of my passenger brief, take-off brief, and approach brief courtesy of my new checklist.

Is this a commercial video promotion job, like some other youtubers are trying to do? Nobody is going to bother to go to some video on some date and watch it.

Negative, I just like to be organised :)

To be honest I was going to post something similar about the first post, but decided to refrain.

I love reading trip reports here. But when someone post a link to their trip report somewhere else, then I never click on it.

You’ll get a much bigger audience here, if you post your trip report here, rather than just a link to it in another location.

I don’t mind doing so, but I do like the format of the Wordpress as it shrinks to Tablet/Phone automatically for good visual reading.

The forum should do that also. Around 50% of readers are on a phone or a tablet.

I will do so for the Liverpool Trip. I will still continue to create my blog on the website though for anyone that navigates to it.

Join this quick IFR airways flight from Doncaster to Stapleford. I fly my first SID since gaining my Instrument Rating and enjoy a fascinating sunset as we descend through the layers of cloud.

Hi Robbie,

At the end when he directed you out of CAS in the descent to 2,400ft on a direct track to Stapleford, what happened with regard to the Stansted Class D stub that was in your path? Did you have to go around or under (<1500ft) it, or did he clear you through, or did you have to negotiate separately?
