In this episode of Flight Chops, we’re Flying #IFR in the #TBM850 with 16 yr old Adam at the controls! He and his dad have essentially rescued me to help get the RV-14 ready for the imminent trip to AirVenture in a few short days! While there, Adam will get a taste of some real #FlyingFundamentals in the T6 / Harvard with museum chief pilot Dave!

Thanks to Jim from PTNR Production!
He’s a long time pilot buddy that helped get the temp vinyl sorted out for the RV-14 in a hurry!

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 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.
