Aerobatics – Extra 300 – part 1 – aircraft familiarization – POV Flying – ATC audio

I’m happy to share this visceral experience and the inspiring story of the pilot that I flew with.
Proud to be associated with ForeFlight: http://www.foreflight.com/flightchops/

To date, this is BY FAR the most amazing flight I’ve done!

UPDATE: Part 2 is now LIVE:

HUGE thanks to all those that have joined the Patreon campaign, and I’m honoured to announce that ForeFlight is the newest Flight Chops project supporter!

I’m so proud to be working with a company whose product I love. We’ve established a relationship that is mutual in that ForeFlight wants to help create awesome aviation content like you’ve just seen; And you’ll notice there were no iPad’s flying around the cockpit while we were upside down…
I will use ForeFlight in future videos when needed, as I would any other useful tool, regardless of a sponsorship; but I think it is great that the support is not contingent of product use.
Flight Chops will always be an authentic real world flying experience and I’m so thankful for the support coming from Patreon! We’ll continue to avail ourselves of all the resources that come from the generosity of supporters to make this thing grow!

And thanks to Jared at Gauntlet Warbirds for being flexible with his schedule to make this work – it literally took all evening because the traffic and then rain caused serious delays beyond the already slow pace of production.

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.
