ForeFlight “Track Log” on an iPad exported into Cloudahoy on the computer provides the most detailed debriefing I have ever seen!
I can’t wait to apply this to IFR flying!

The Killing Zone is a book every pilot should read.
It’s an amazing analysis of a decade worth of GA accident stats, and finds areas we can all stand to improve.
In this video I work on “Slow Flight”, and “S-Turns over a road”.

The First “S-Turn” was sloppy, and I sort of missed the point entirely with “Slow Flight” as I challenged myself to get it as slow as I could with clean wings, and really just demonstrated a drawn out power off stall
So yeah, not exactly a flight test worthy performance, but that was sort of the point of seeing how rusty I was

And a big lesson I wanted to share: this was the first time my onboard camera system was a contributing factor in a error – I’ve learned from it, and it won’t happen again.

On board cameras have been an incredible tool for my post flight analysis. If used properly they are an invaluable tool.
If you fly with cameras, be sure to set in place a system that keeps them out of your way during flight – set them and forget them.
