Flight Practice with Mobile Tech

10:00 AM – 11:15 AM 

Location: Forum Stage 8 – ForeFlight

Presenter: Laura Laban, Steve Thorne

Planning your flight is one thing. Visualizing it and knowing exactly how your technology will work is another. In this forum, private pilots Laura Laban (Infinite Flight CEO & developer), and Steve Thorne (Host of FlightChops) will demonstrate how the use of mobile technology can prepare you for your flight. Learn tips on being a more prepared pilot by learning about your route and your technology before you get in the cockpit.  (Event link)

Social Media Creators in the Aviation Space

1:00 PM – 1:45 PM 

Location: AOPA Tent

Presenter: Social Media Influencers

We’ll analyze the steps private pilot creators take to publish content that reinforces safety and prioritizes flying over capturing. We’ll explore the difficulties of having a high level of public exposure as a pilot. We will delve into how YouTubers, Instagrammers, podcasters and all aviation content creators have helped make aviation seem accessible to a new generation and audience and then examine the ways social media has pushed people to a career or hobby they didn’t know existed.

The Finer Points

Next Level Flight Training - NLFT.ca

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!

Flight Chops Disclaimer

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.
