Time Building vs. Time HAVING
Time Building vs. Time Having
Accumulation of time is a farce. Time is fleeting, slipping, vanishing.
In aviation you hear the term “time building” all the time. It makes me wince when it passes me by. I get what it is - a simple term describing the process of logging enough time to meet the minimum requirements of hours flown in order to be eligible to fly professionally for an airline.
Even still, for me it lacks imagination and diminishes the beauty of the pursuit of flight time. Time building versus time HAVING. Have time. Own that time. Be fully in that time.

the LONGEST most UNWATCHABLE flying video in HISTORY and also mountain flying
Переглядів 1,5 тис.28 днів тому
the longest most unwatchable flying video in history no narration. no music. just flying and whatever. I flew with my friend Luke to the TN/NC/GA mountains to do some mountain flying and have some fun. It was an amazing day - kind of too much to document but we did what we could. The main thing is I figured why not just put it out with no real editing other than the footage itself. Maybe people...
Keeping Up

Keeping up. We are all mired in things we have to do… or so we think… Here I am flying into an airport at night to do my night currency landings. We have to do 3 landings at night to a full stop in order to legally be able to carry passengers at night. It has been tough lately to keep up. To keep up with responsibilities, making a living with creative work projects, and definitely to keep up th...

I continue to experiment with landings in as many ways as I can. These were not especially good landings - but coming in on a tight base to final gives little time to sort out the gusts - which was the aim - fly tight patterns in gusty winds and see how that goes. Going up for pattern work when conditions are a little challenging takes enough mental energy that you cannot think about anything e...

    You weren’t looking at the ailerons when you said the controls were free and correct. That’s just phoning in the checklist. And is that all being done by memory? I never saw a card or electronic checklist being used.

      Just want to add that every time I fly with Brian not only does he do the control check pre takeoff. But also pre start, pre taxi, during taxi, and if there are any cockpit changes. I’m a stickler on free and smooth controls and Brian makes me assured every time in that aspect. His attention to detail is more disciplined than a lot of pilots I’ve flown with in even jets and large multi’s. Pretty dang cool and inspiring to fly with

    Beautiful video as always. Btw I know other centers don’t insist on this as much, but the confusion you had there as to whether you were VFR or IFR is why Seattle center insists that anytime you check in with a new controller you state your altitude and “VFR” if that’s the case. 👍🙌🏻

    Some of us ask why we cannot simply find something and stick with it. I'd say that some of us are born to explore and conquer, while others are better at building societies and permanence. Neither is right or wrong - just different. Jack of all trades and master of none. I can live with that. Whether intentional or not, your narration gave way to the sterile cockpit when it mattered most. I really enjoyed your video and certainly identified with it.
