Flying to FL110 or 11,000ft in a tiny little plane is fun, it's about as high as you can go without oxygen, you're up in the low flight levels where the airliners live.

In this flight from Fenland Airfield in Lincolnshire, we see how long it takes to climb from sea level all the way to FL110 and while we're up there I'll have a little airliner style snack.

This flight shows you just how well performing the little SportCruiser is.

My name is Terry Kent and I am a General Aviation PPL private pilot operating out of Andrewsfield EGSL about 25 miles to the north east of London in the UK. Short Field is my channel focused on the lighter side of General Aviation including flight and airfield reviews, equipment unboxing and review plus all things private pilot related. I use various cameras to record my videos including GoPro and Insta 360 and stills and edit them in Adobe Premiere Pro, I am an animator as well and often use animations to describe situations more clearly I use Blender and Adobe After Effects for these. I always attempt to post my videos in the highest possible quality, normally 4k.

I fly a 2011 Pipersport two seat single engine aircraft that is also known as the PS28 or SportCruiser in the USA (America) it is known under the FAA as an LSA or Light Sport Aircraft and can be flown on a very basic license. In the UK it is a Part 21 airplane which requires a full licence but it's generally cheap to run, affordable maintenance and great value for money. It cruises at 100 to 105 knots and has superb short take off and landing or STOL capabilities. I visit farm strips, back country and short airfields, some of them dangerous and I try not to crash :), as well as international airports and try to learn something new every time I fly.

I fly VFR and IFR as well as visual and instrument approaches.

While my videos may offer insights for pilots, it's essential to note that they are purely for entertainment. I am not a certified instructor, and viewers should not apply anything showcased in the videos to realworld aviation. Additionally, the status of airfields featured in my videos may have changed since filming, so it's crucial to refer to the latest information for accurate details in your region.
