Hi, I’m Jonnie (Aviation Dad), formally known as AV Geek NI.
I am a dad of 2 and aviation lover - hence Aviation Dad! I used to blame my love of Aviation on my kids but secretly I’ve always loved it. I created ‘Aviation Dad’ because I know there’s a lot more of us out there!
I'll be uploading new content weekly so please stay tuned!

Absolutely Alex, pilot nailed the landing, bumpy descent but perfect landing! If memory serves me correctly the flight that was landing before us did a go around!
I really enjoyed this. The best I can get to this realism currently, is via the use of MSFS2020 haha. I so wish I had the money to be able to come along with you so we both enjoy aviation in it's full glory. What is your fav civil aircraft ?
It shows you just how amazing the graphics have got in Flight Sim now doesn’t it haha! Favourite aircraft is 777-300 - amazing sound from the engines! How about you?
Yes I always carry ID with me - doesn’t haven’t to be a passport as it is within the common travel area but something with your full name and has an expiry date is required.
Take from the BA Website: You do not require a passport to travel within the UK, but you will need to carry one type of photographic ID when travelling with us. Examples include: Valid passport Valid driving licence, either provisional or full Valid EU national identity card Valid armed forces identity card Valid police warrant card or badge

In the UK at least it often depends on the traffic around the aircraft, if the separation is great than we don't need to end the call sign with heavy ( I think)
The fun begins at 05:05 haha :) the iPhone 13 Pro which this was filmed on has excellent stabilisation which helps but you can see from the wing flex and aileron movements it was indeed a bumpy and turbulent descent!
If you don't mind me asking, which audio card are you using and how did you get it connected from your scanner to the MBP/audio card? Great recording btw
Thanks for posting! Can we also appreciate the amazing job the iPhone does in image stabilisation here. Can see from the window frame how the camera itself is bouncing around, yet the image through the window is rock steady.
As mentioned on the description I was lucky enough to catch up with the captain after the flight! I wanted to ask him about the flight given it was so stormy and we're talking 50+ mph winds and very heavy rain. He confirmed TOGA take off for maximum thrust to get up as quickly as possible :)
Amazing video, just one thing. I know TOGA is the thrust setting for Takeoff/Go-Around but a lot of people think TOGA means Go Around so they think this is a go around, so maybe you could change it to Takeoff as some people will get mistaken
