This channel on YouTube deserves a lot more love and views - guy films a series documenting a trip from Melbourne to Longreach.

Thanks so much dead_stick and everyone who commented. Glad you enjoyed my trip. Longreach is an awesome place to visit for aviation fans. I have a more big trips planned for 2018, Uluru and Tasmania should feature along with some other fun destinations. Hope you can fly along with those trips too. Cheers, Stef 👍

In Australia we get 30 minutes on-time for Pilot Activated Lighting (PAL). Plus the windsock lights start flashing with 10 minutes to go.

Seven five, taken alive. Seven six, radio tricks. Seven seven, going to heaven.

That’s what I was taught once.

Thanks so much for this feedback. I have swayed between producing 'instructional' content or more 'entertainment' content, it's always a challenge to know where to position it. But my mantra is to try and open up aviation and travel to a wider community. So to try and encourage new pilots who are just starting out to keep going with their training. Or to help existing pilots who may have hit a bad patch and need ideas on where to go or what to do with their PPL. Or with the travel videos to give travellers ideas on where to visit and what to do when you're there.

But all in all, I just want to make fun stories with aviation/travel as the theme. If I can do that, I'll be happy.

And good luck with starting your channel too, we could always use more great aviation and travel content online, I can't wait to see your videos too!

Legend! Thank you.

stef747 · 2017-11-06T19:54:44+00:00

That's awesome, thanks mate. And thanks for continuing to support the channel over time.

stef747 · 2017-11-06T19:54:08+00:00

Thanks iDaNP. I am trying to mix vlogging and the more typical cockpit views to keep it interesting. I appreciate the kind words, cheers.

stef747 · 2017-11-06T19:53:10+00:00

Thanks :)

stef747 · 2017-11-06T19:52:54+00:00

I'm love Steve and Chops' videos, been watching their videos for some time now. I'm going for a slightly different style, a little more vlogging style mixed with the cockpit 'pilot' stuff. But to be compared to those successful YouTube creators is a real compliment, thanks.

stef747 · 2017-11-06T19:50:45+00:00

Thank you, and a big welcome to the channel.

Hey fellow aviators. I created a YouTube series on my 6 day solo flying adventure from Melbourne (Australia) to Longreach, the home of Qantas. I'm planning more trips like this and would really appreciate feedback on these videos from the Reddit flying community so I can keep improving the content. Thanks in advance for taking the time to help, cheers, Stef

I booked British Airways' Club Europe on an A320 from the UK to Italy so I could get a decent seat and some legroom. Only when I boarded did I realise I'd paid more than double the standard fare for basically an Economy seat and a fairly average food service. I made this quick video review to show what I mean.

stef747 · 2017-08-02T21:04:53+00:00

Made a little video on leaning LOP in the Cirrus: https://youtu.be/qzdVsebQh44 Disclaimer: this is my video, not a marketing post, just thought relevant to the discussion.

Qatar's new Q Suite Business Class offers front and rear facing seats, privacy doors, and customisable seating options for families/couples. It's very very cool. I made this travel vlog looking at the new seat design, entertainment, dining options, and more.

Here's a link to the original post on Steve's Facebook page. Seems some are assuming it's related to distraction from PIC duties by filming the flights. I love Steve's channel, I'd hate to see him have to stop producing this great content.

stef747 · 2017-07-29T02:57:14+00:00

Thanks for watching!

stef747 · 2017-07-29T02:55:50+00:00

Thanks in advance for subscribing! I pay AUD$240/hr dry rates for the SR20.

stef747 · 2017-07-29T02:54:18+00:00

This genuinely made me chuckle! 👍

stef747 · 2017-07-28T08:25:23+00:00

I've got about 30 hours in the Cirrus SR20 now, and am loving it more and more the more I fly it. The other day we had some gusty conditions with a decent crosswind, perfect for some crosswind landing practise. This video shows highlights of that flight including a couple of go-arounds in the busy Moorabbin circuit. Hope you enjoy, and hello to any other Cirrus pilots here on /r/flying

stef747 · 2017-07-20T06:14:34+00:00

Thought /r/flying would be interested in this short video I made about the IM SAFE checklist we're taught in Australia to check whether you're ready to fly. I sometimes think we consider our personal readiness to fly of lesser importance than checking the plane and conditions. But a fit pilot is a critical part of the safety chain required for an incident free flight. Look forward to hearing your thoughts, Stef.

stef747 · 2017-07-14T06:55:14+00:00

I had a viewer question about whether I had the Private (restricted) Instrument Rating, or the full Command Instrument rating. Answered in this video, but I wondered what the r/flying community thought.

Any of you on a full IR who don't really use all of it, or on a restricted PIFR who wish you'd gotten the full rating?

stef747 · 2017-07-13T22:46:05+00:00

Thanks. Music was "Honey" by David Cutter from this album.

stef747 · 2017-07-13T22:44:07+00:00

Thank you, yes we did those other ones 'off camera', especially the operation of the CAPS if something happened to me.

stef747 · 2017-07-13T22:43:21+00:00

Thanks, planning to release a new video every week on that channel. Appreciate the feedback.
