Precision Spin Success! Never been this Ecstatic while Flying Solo! (… + Bose A30 :)

Pure #Joy as I figure out Spin Recoveries ON HEADING! (while test Flying the new A30 🙂

To learn proper spin recovery technique, first and foremost, work with a qualified instructor – but also, watch the #Aerobatic training episode(s) I filmed with Luke 🙂 That said, this one is definitely NOT training – it’s just sharing my raw excitement and glee as I start to really figure out how to recover from spins with some degree of precision in the hopes to fly a competition; so really this is just sharing my debrief in that regard – I’m absolutely not endeavouring to train you how to execute, or recover from spins.

Here’s a text Luke sent me after reviewing this rough cut: “One observation ….. I’ve been watching you for many many years now and seeing you nail your spin recoveries is PROBABLY the most ecstatic I’ve ever seen you in a flying scenario :D“

Luke training playlists:
Pitts S2B:   • Advanced Aerobati…  
Extra300:    • Extra 300L Checko…

And as always CloudAhoy is my debriefing tool of choice, a really cool feature for those of you that don’t have edit suites at home, is that you can sync a raw YouTube #Flying video with in the interface, and it will intelligently stay in sync with your debrief!

I’m a Private Pilot, doing my best to stay current and learn. I fly for fun and might just be the least cocky pilot on the internet! My self analysis videos can seem self deprecating at times, but I am trying to learn from the small mistakes to avoid making a big one; I’m happy to share and find it rewarding to help other pilots or aspiring aviators in any way that I can. How does the saying go? “Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterwards”. And in aviation, not all tests are survivable.

My virtual “ride-along” flying videos are aimed and sharing my experiences and giving back to the aviation community which has been so helpful to me. I shoot multi-camera angles, get detailed real time instrument panel shots, and have radio intercom audio. I respect people’s time, so I put a fair bit of work into editing to keep the videos concise and engaging; I add animations and further graphics and voice overs where needed to add context and explanations.

My hope is to continue to grow and evolve the “Flight Chops” project with input and support from the aviation community!

I am a “weekend warrior” private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 years, but still consider each flight a learning experience – I generally take detailed notes after each flight to remind myself what went well or what I could do to improve…. Having the GoPro cameras to record flights like this is invaluable. I find these self analysis videos very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share.

Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
