No problem. Glad you liked it. Portugal has 3 major airports, Porto, Faro and Lisboa (capital city), and Cascais Aerodrome, near Lisboa, (about 11NM) and it is placed in second relative to traffic! It has more traffic than Oporto and Faro. Cascais is mostly and "instruction aerodrome" with maybe around 7 to 9 flying schools, and in top of that you have private jets coming in and out, aswell a bunch of helicopters. During the summer, during the day, it can reach more or less 500 movements. It is the busiest aerodrome in Portugal. ;) http://www.nav.pt/ais/VFRs/CASCAIS.pdf Best regards, Commander Mckoy.

rgmwa, for your curiosity I made a Time-Lapse Video of my base aerodrome. This time lapse was recorded for about 2 hours at a rate of 1 photo per second. The outcome wasn't what I expected, because the planes performing touch and go, were too fast. So maybe my next time lapse will be recorded at 1 photo each half a second. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the video as always. Until next time.. Stay tuned for more contributions! ;) Commander Mckoy.

rgmwa, for your enjoyment I'll post a time lapse of the Cascais aerodrome movement. Stay tuned.

I don't mind at all, I'm from Portugal, and I'm based at Cascais aerodrome, ICAO code: LPCS. :)

Thanks for the tip. I'll try to get one in the near future, and a filter for the GoPro to eliminate the propeller effect as well.. ;)

I hope you have fun learning from my video! ;)

Hello once more! I bring to you, one of my new videos! In this video we performed some touch and goes in a Cessna 172, with some simulated engine failures after takeoff and in-flight. I hope you have fun learning from my videos! Enjoy! Best regards, Commander Mckoy.

Hello again to everyone! Once more, I have a new video available for you. Its about 5 important steps of the Before Departure Procedures in a Cessna 152. This video is a bit more serious in comparison with the other videos and if you have any questions regarding any procedure, don't be afraid to ask! Without further delay I present to you my video: I hope you enjoy the video! Best regards, Commander Mckoy.

Thanks Maj. More will come. Maybe next week I'll have two new videos, an instruction night flight video and a stall training video. Stay tuned for news and more on: http://www.facebook.com/commandermckoy The Cessna 152 is the best! Hehehe. Best regards, Commander Mckoy.

Hello again to all! I have another contribution to make! I would like to let you know my perspective as a flight instructor. I made a video to Santa Cruz airfield which is a short field runway with a LDA ( landing distance available ) of only 472m. I decided and got a GoPro Hero3 Silver and I'm pretty satisfied. I hope you enjoy the video my fellow airmans and airwomans. Aeronautical greetings, Commander Mckoy.

I think the Silver will do the job. My videos will look great and provide a good debriefing for my students. Thanks for your contribution, Ultralights. Best regards, Commander Mckoy

Thank you very much for your support, Frank and Alan. Cheers, Commander Mckoy.

Dpls73 the Black Edition is a bit expensive for me. Maybe I'll get the Silver, because it has the wide angle with 1080p30fps, which White doesn't provide. I'll look for that video Maj. And I'll keep this community posted with my contributions. Glad you enjoyed my video. Can you also tell me where is the appropriate place in this forum to post my videos? Commander Mckoy

I'm glad that you liked it. I'm a flight instructor since 2008. Do you know anything regarding the GoPro cameras? Best regards, Commander Mckoy.

Hello, aviation enthusiasts. This is my first time posting here in this community, and I'm pleased to be part of it. I would like to give my contribution to Recreational Flying Forum, its members and its viewers. But first, In order for you to know me better, and to know what I do, I have a video I made days ago, that you can watch, in a form of Vlog with footage of an instruction flight with a near birdstrike. I'm looking forward to buy a GoPro camera, but I would like to know, which one do you recommend, considering the price/image quality, Hero2 or Hero3 (White, Silver or Black). I wish you all safe flights and smooth landings, Commander Mckoy.
