  I was the Essex controller that gave you the SVFR clearance. Glad I could help you out and interesting to see it from your point of view!!<br>Nice job!!

  Just studying for Air Law and this was really helpful! Note that the rules have changed in 2021 (after this video was recorded) and class D below 3000ft now allows just &quot;clear of cloud and in sight of the surface&quot;. So Special VFR would not have been necessary in this video if it was flown today.

  Great flight, and really enjoyed seeing the SVFR process, I&apos;m currently training for my PPL so these videos are always really useful to watch whilst I read through all the theory of things. Your ammeter looks like it&apos;s going crazy &nbsp;:D

  As a retired 17,000 hour veteran, well done old boy! Very professional, I wish some of the younger Airline pilots could fly like you.

  Just studying for my Air Law exam. This was super helpful to learn the rules in a practical example! Thanks as always!

  Hi Jon, subscribed to your channel fairly recently and just wanted say that I very much enjoy viewing the content. I started training for a PPL in August of 1979 at EGNT with Newcastle upon Tyne Aero Club which at the time operated three PA28-140’s. After qualification in late 1980 I flew on a fairly regular basis up until around ‘87 when for various reasons my flying days gradually came to a halt. Watching your vids flying Warrior OR brings back some very fond memories of operating the PA28 and even although for me this was many years ago now it still looks so very familiar that in my mind it could have been only yesterday. Great channel, thanks for the time and effort you devote.

  Thanks Jon for another informative video. Seeing this in real time and on actual flight is so much more enlightening especially on your 1st go you deserve thumbs up.

  Jon your landings and rwy centreline tracking are excellent. At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbXMVqe2z1g&amp;t=834">13:54</a> Tower requested you report the airfield boundary on your way to OVHD 22 Threshold but in your response you said &quot;...remain airfield boundary...&quot; and never did report as requested (unless that part is included in the missing video audio). &nbsp;As you have said in past videos RT is the most challenging for you and perhaps this is not helped by repeating verbatim the instructions and clearances given. For clearances this is essential but for information and some instructions (when there is no ambiguity) it just clutters the frequency when &quot;Roger&quot; would suffice. On the other hand perhaps verbatim repeats are useful for your situational awareness.
