Sharing mistakes and learning moments is what the Flight Chops channel is built on… This episode is a #debrief of a stupid error that compounded into a situation which could have been tragic, and I think every #pilot can learn from this one, regardless of what they fly.

It’s an honour to be a part of the Canadian Aviation Museum crew.

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 20 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.
