ABORTED LANDING | Formula 1 at Silverstone | Landing at Turweston in a PA28 Cherokee | Flight Vlog

The right decision no need to put yourself in conflict ;-) , I would question the radio work why change to London info Oxford have one of the newest radars in the country they can see all the way to Silverstone no problem , and Silverstone is a joining point for Turweston so maybe if your in that area a quick call on the Turweston freq just to let people know you are there . The day you stop learning in this game is the day they put you in a box :-) nice filming and well flown

No question, you made the correct decision. Whatever the technical rights and wrongs of the situation, avoiding a potential conflict has my vote every time.

Great video! Loving them all :)

Admittedly not having my license (yet) and not flown in some time, I would have made the same decision to escape back to the dead-side and avoid a potential conflict. It's always best to start over than try to salvage the situation. That's where mistakes and oversights start and could cause an unexpected issue because you're now "winging" it. Safe decision in my view...and a very nice landing. 👍

Very well put together Adam. 👌

Always best to go around if you're unsure - that's what I do. I'm surprised the controller didn't mention the traffic even as a " radio " ATC - Good spot by the passenger !! 😂

If you had doubt about a conflict of course it was the right decision!!! A go around is usually always the best decision to make!!!

You absolutely made the correct decision. I shall be landing there from cambridge via Denham

Absolutely the right decision mate. I would ask did the other aircraft call earlier as I didn’t hear it? Some would argue that they should have given way to circuit traffic but I wouldn’t have tried to decided the in the air and would have done the same as you. Great vids - it’s good to share experiences.

Lovely views! A wonderful flight. Ive never figured why Piper's only have one door though - LOL! I thought you had right of way (but I'm sat on a cosy sofa at home) on base, to final, but no point in being right and an incident occurs. Therefore your only choice was deadside and to climb. Im happy to be corrected on that though. I flew in and out of Oxford and Enstone, back in the day, Oxford was called Kiddlington back then (still very well spoken - and those of us in overalls and cow muck on our shoes were looked down upon). We took a C150B on a very cold day back to Thruxton. At Thruxton, aged 14 I was allowed to drive a Morris Marina van, as was my mate, at full chat around the race circuit there, fun times!

Great video Adam.. You made the correct decision for sure.. to me, I'm under the impression the other aircraft had no idea you were there.. i thought as Aviation law says that if your in the circuit you have priority.. so therefore the other aircraft should have made a deviation for you.. if i heard correct he announced to ATC that he was downwind when in the video it seemed he was on Final. But definitly you made the best decision.. thats good Airmanship.

Correct decision in my view to escape to the dead side of the circuit and avoid potential conflict. I am based at Turweston, always a challenging going to an unfamiliar airfield but can offer a few local tips if you’re coming back and wanted them.

Everyone sounds so well spoken 😂

Right decision - I agree with James below about setting up for final on 09 - Looks like the other guy was not following the prescribed approach fr 09 and may have come over Brackley - or at least pretty close

Always tend to go around if you are ever unsure. It is a nice new building with a great airfield view, isn’t it? When do you move airfields?

Nice vid and IMHO the right decision. I think I would have done the same...

THANK YOU for watching. If you are a pilot would you have done anything different? ALSO please let me know what you like 👍 and don’t like 👎 about my videos. I appreciate all your feedback so I can improve my channel. If you dislike pls tell me why. Thank you. Adam 😊

It is hard to say from a video and not being familiar with the area. Was it one airplane that was on final to the same runway as you were landing on? Did that other plane call out his position at any other time? Another option would have been a right turn to extend your base, but again I can't tell how far away the other airplane was, how fast it was going etc. There is never anything wrong with starting over if things don't feel right, but this isn't always the best option if the airport is busy.

Quick question - what equipment do you use to record your cockpit audio? Many thanks

Was the other plane on a straight in final? Or was he in the circuit/pattern? I guess it depends on your spacing. If you thought you’d be too close, or were much faster than the other plane, you probably did the right thing. Had you been on downwind, you could have just extended before turning base to allow better separation. But since you were on base, you took the conservative approach, which usually is the best approach.
