Flying the 8th most scenic approach in the world is both beautiful and intimidating. In this case I was also arriving minutes before the airspace closed for the Toronto International airshow… but that’s a story for another time. Having @foreflight on board for all flying, but especially high pressure missions like this, adds incredible situational awareness and reduces the stress. | Flight Chops

It’s amazing how much a pilot can expand their “skills envelope” by (safely) rolling past 90 degrees! Watch Ed take control for his first Aileron roll! @barenakedpilot and @flightchops team up for a flying adventure. Stay tuned for more Ed’s 1st Aerobatics! Both Ed and Steve are wearing @boseaviation A30 headsets for clear communications while Ed is in control flying various figures for the first time!

Each year the crew from the Canadian Aviation Museum aims to fly as many of the fleet aircraft as we’re able, over an event for the anniversary of the Battle of Britain. It is rarely good weather, we’re low over an urban center with significant obstacles, and in this case there was also an active TFR to be aware of. When flying in Formation it is critical that my attention is not split, so this was a great use case of @foreflight keeping us safe with super clear weather radar overlay, visual war

It is both liberating and daunting to have the authority to inspect and then sign off an airplane as “airworthy”. 😬 This clip was from June when I did my annual inspection for what I thought was going to be good for the year... But I’ve already exceeded 100 hours on the airframe since then (now November), so despite not being legally required to do an other annual inspection, I do feel it is prudent to do a condition inspection (equal to, or greater than a typical annual.) In this case, it is l

This flight was a perfect illustration of why I love having my instrument rating, and a well equipped airplane to use it in. I learned a bunch on this one, and was inspired to share it. This started as an assembly of a raw #IFR flight to debrief and share with Patreon supporters. But as it came together, I was inspired to make it an actual episode… It’s not overly exciting or cinematic, but it is a good old school / real time ride along / debrief with a bunch of aviation learning nuggets. The fu

Ice-o-meter! An unexpected use case for a wing tip mounted 360 cam This clip is from a larger epidote that is currently in post production. It wasn’t a planned shoot but I decided to roll cameras after getting established enroute when the stress was dissipating and it was clear my plan to get through these icing conditions was going to work. There will be a lot more added context int he episode (coming in a week or two on the Flight Chops YouTube channel) Please share any questions you’ve got. T
