Flying a Cessna over alpine glaciers and 9000ft mountains in New Zealand
Переглядів 774Рік тому
This is some of the cockpit footage from a flight I took in New Zealand from Wanaka. I didn't have my NZ certificate at the time so I needed to fly with an instructor to hire the plane. I am glad I did and wouldn't ever attempt to fly around alpines like these without thorough training. Thank you Hamish and the uflywanaka team for the flight. @uflywanaka - www.u-flywanaka.co.nz Shot on : @GoPro...

How to get your commercial pilots license in Australia (step by step how I did it)
Переглядів 30 тис.2 роки тому
When I began learning to fly, the path to becoming a commercial pilot was clearly laid out by my college. But the journey was all but a straight road to the finish line. In this video, I explain how I started, what colleges I went to, details about my check ride and what things I would have done differently if I was to do it again. Of cause, Covid19 had its effects but what I learned was that t...

Birdsville Flyaway with the Inspired Unemployed !
Переглядів 1,9 тис.3 роки тому
There is something particularly Australian to flying a Cessna to Birdsville! The boys from @theInspiredUnemployed and myself flew up to the town known for its outback races and punch-ups apparently.... Unfortunately, I was preoccupied and didn't get the best footage. However, we did come up with a pretty cool new idea. To do podcasts on the plane!!! I hope you enjoy the ride up north and if you...
Equipment in my plane!
Переглядів 7683 роки тому
I have been doing a bunch of private flying around the eastern seaboard over the past couple of months, both to build hours and to have some fun getting around the place. Whilst flying there is a select group of items I always carry which I think are critical for my flight and then there are some other things I have in the plane which are not so critical but rather nice to have. Watch the video...
