How Flying Eyes Optics impact Flight Chops’…
My CloudAhoy Story: Flight Chops started off as a simple way to publicly share my flying debriefs. And when I learned about CloudAhoy back when it was a free beta advertised as supporting US only customers, I still gave it a shot and was delighted to find out it worked – see link below to…
I had always worn a beat up old Dave Clark headset… not because I wanted to, but because I couldn’t afford to upgrade; Or at least I thought I couldn’t. Moving to a Bose A20® headset has been a game changer for me. The sound quality is truly unbelievable – not to mention the crazy…
My school… My Home… Where I found my mentor – Dennis. I came to Spectrum as an experienced, but rusty pilot. There I learned to fly a constant speed prop, got tail wheel endorsed and have done a pile of IFR training. And most importantly, they supported my publishing the videos I filmed in their…
Those of you who have followed me for a long time know that I have always worn Serengeti; and honestly, it was mainly because as a 15 year old, I inherited a pair from my best friend’s father after he died. Walter was like a second father to me, and a huge role model –…

Here’s How It Began During that multi-year period when I was not current, I discovered Jason Miller (CFII and one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s leading certified flight instructors) and his weekly training podcast – it was probably 2007 or 2008 so those were the early days, and he had one of the…
This is one of those really cool products that you don’t know you need… until you realize you need it – and then you can’t live with out it! Beyond being a great product that has never NOT been in my flight bag since I learned about it, the team at the company…
If there was ONE sponsor I fantasized about getting when I started a YouTube channel about flying… ForeFlight was IT! I got my license in the mid-90’s, eons before the era of tablets. Heck, the internet wasn’t even “a thing” yet. Flight planning on paper was never something I felt good about, but as…
I tanked my latest video by avoiding clickbait so one of you could win a $10,000 sim - seriously.
The latest IFR episode shares the first real session using a killer home sim set up to re-create what happened on a real life training flight with CFII Dennis.
Blake and I attempt to replicate every detail, and the comments are filled with solutions to some of the challenges we had on this initial run-through.
Meanwhile, longtime Flight Chops supporter and mentor Jim explains how he got proficient on the G1000 by practising on his personal $10,000 simulator, and why he now wants it to find a new home WITH ONE OF YOU in the Flight Chops Community!
