My radios are by no means perfect but hopefully this will give any pilots an idea of what to expect from Edinburgh Airport's Air Traffic Control when passing through.

Big thanks to Tayside Aviation for the aircraft G-BNOF

I also hope this can help student pilots out there who are maybe a little nervous chatting to busier ATCUs. I know this video would have helped me when i was learning - not that long ago.

I flew with a good friend and fellow Edinburgh Rugby man Michael Allen. He is originally a Belfast lad so I am pleased we got such a good day to fly over Edinburgh City Centre and see the sights.

We departed the Westerly Runway at Fife Airport and quickly contacted Edinburgh Approach on 121.2

Once cleared to enter the zone at Kelty, we made our way towards the Forth Bridge's, making sure the M90 remained on our left hand side to ensure separation from any oncoming aircraft (as it turned out G-SLCC was coming in our direction.)

After being passed to Edinburgh tower on 118.7 we were cleared to Kirkliston which is a small town to the North of Edinburgh Airport.

EZY64RM was on short final to land and we were only cleared to cross runway 24 once the easyjet was safely on the ground.

Once south of the airfield we were back on Edinburgh Radar (121.2). We headed East over Edinburgh City before following the coastline to North Berwick.

A quick hop over the water and we were back on the ground at Fife Airport.
