see the controls jolting in the gusting winds

0:08

winds 200 degrees at 19 knots

0:20

mixture (red lever) full rich - forward

0:25

set take off power failerons into the wind (from the right)

0:37

"airspeed building" = "airspeed alive" confirm that ASI is working - if not ABORT!

0:43

lift off at a higher speed than normal ensures the aircraft will not touch down again sideways

0:48

as expected, moderate turbulence on the climb out maintain positive control of the aircraft

1:06

holding the CLR button for 2 seconds opens map page

1:30

using electric pitch trim to adjust cruise climb speed adjust pitch, then trim away the control forces

1:37

entering the clouds - IMC Instrument Meteorological Conditions

1:47

adjust mixture - red lever set fuel flow for climb power

2:00

handover to Scottish control select frequency on Garmin G1000

2:15

check in with Scottish control SID - Standard Instrument Departure

2:28

adjust mixture - red lever a continuous process in the climb

3:04

adjust rudder trim keep ball centered

3:41

climb clearance to FL130

3:49

adjust mixture - red lever set fuel flow for the climb power

3:59

close cowl flaps

4:04

opening the cabin heat - it gets cold autopilot engaged

4:10

checking the wings for any ice accumulation

4:16

climb - descent - turn around

4:27

asking for cloud tops to get above the icing

4:32

excellent support by ATC!

4:47

desicion: descent to FL70 to melt off the ice

5:03

Monitor airspeed. Switch off Autopilot if speed drops

5:18

leaving controlled airspace handover to Scottish control 124.50

5:27

check in to next ATC sector

5:38

The ice is melting off. Heavy rain.

6:05

"1000 feet" standard call out, also when single pilot

6:23

check in with London Information

6:36

set code 0027 with mode C (altitude reporting)

6:50

check in with Birmingham Radar

7:00

Radar asks if I am willing to descent into class Gairspace (uncontrolled airspace)

7:14

descent to 4,000ft on QNH 1011 (altimeter 29.85)

7:24

set altitude an QNH - and read back!

7:36

fly heading 180 and expedite the descent" Expedite = ATC jargon for "do it faster

7:42

outside controlled airspace direct Daventry DYT

7:52

basic ATC service remain in class G airspace (uncontrolled)

8:01

handover to Luton Radar

8:14

Luton confirms basic service and QNH 1014

8:37

read back QNH

8:47

contact Booker tower (EGTB) for weather update

8:51

wind 200/20G28 - crosswind component 18 kts

9:11

autopilot off - aural warning

9:21

wind 200/28 knots crosswind 18 knots - acceptable

9:40

flaps 10 degrees

10:20

propeller and mixture full forward

10:29

flaps 20 degrees for landing (turbulence)

10:37

landing lights ON

10:51

heavy rain and significant turbulence note the airspeed fluctuation (wind shear)

10:59

mixture leaned for taxi DO NOT touch anything else until clear of runway

11:42

caution during the turn (strong wind)

11:53

accidents happened by mixing flaps with landing gear

12:16

place key visible on dashboard Cessna aircraft control the magnetos with the key
