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.
Great Video’s (all of them),
It was interesting to see such a young person willing to take on a task of flying around the world. He seemed so adept at dealing with the slight differences each country has and is very sure of himself and his flying. I guess that is what a 300 hour per year or more currency rate does for us?? Let’s all aspire to try and stay that current. That confidence shows when things go wrong like an AP failure.
Like the Flight Chops mantra Practice, Review, Improve. This shows why it is important to stay with it and learn.
Keep up the great work. I know I have learned from your work.

Wow, I wish I had started flying that early in life. Inspiring young man!
Steve,
I enjoyed your flight with Matt. Two of my favorite You Tubers in one episode!
A good example of you never know what will come up on a “routine” flight.
