Tested by the Extra 300L – two pilots prepare for Solo and Competition Aerobatic Flying!

Final Step to Solo Checkout in the Extra 300L + Aerobatic Flying

I’m working toward the 2019 IAC Sportsman Known Contest Sequence in the Extra 300L, while Dave is working to get his solo checkout. Contest winner Hannah is here enjoying Winnipeg while patiently waiting to have her mind blown in the Extra, as a new PPL with no tail wheel time, yet. 🙂
(Stick around to the end to see how far she has come since we filmed this!)

This is the second of an ongoing multipart series. View the others here:

Part 1 – Extra 300L Checkout (PIC backseat) to Solo + Aerobatic Training!
Part 2 – Tested by the Extra 300L – 2 pilots prepare for Solo / Competition Aerobatic Flying!
Part 3 – First Solo Extra 300L “..the exact right amount of apprehension?!”

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.
