As a result of one fatal aircraft crash and one rogue pilot, many pilots now have to go through a bureaucratic faff in order to carry any passenger who cares to contribute to the cost of the flight. In this video, I show you a solution to that problem.

I make inspirational videos about my flying adventures around the UK and Europe. I have a dream too, to one day fly my PA28 across the atlantic to the USA. Subscribe to my channel for more inspirational flying vlogs and honest post-flight debrief videos.
