LE TOUQUET in a PA28 - channel crossing is so easy!

Wellesbourne to Le Touquet in 1 hour 18 minutes!

Last summer Pilot Dan and I shared a Wingly flight to Le Touquet Paris Plage. We had a tail wind all the way there, and its the quickest channel crossing I've ever done. (The return leg of course was super slow!)

I love crossing the channel, and love sharing the work load with other pilots. I can concentrate on flying, whilst Dan could focus on the comms. Things happened extremely quickly on this flight!

The team at Luton Airport were amazing and let us transit in there overhead without holding, which certainly helped, so thank you Luton Radar!

After Luton we headed to VORs LAM, DET, LYDD, and direct to LFAT. Submitting the flight plan and GAR is so easy through Sky Demon. Just remember to file one for the return journey before you return.

The landing was dodgy I know, we bounced a little, but there were winds gusting 25 knots!

I hope you enjoy this video.

Remember a good pilot is always learning!

Now sit back, subscribe, and enjoy the flight!
