Cross Border Flying - A comprehensive breakdown.
I'm sharing all the links, phone numbers and my check lists; as well as detailed notes additional pertinent info you need to know, to #fly across the border.
Part of the CBP "compliance process" was to show that I'd improved my system to mitigate making mistakes again - so that's what this episode is about.

UPDATE: My original draft of the text to fit here was over 8,000 characters long, and YouTube has a 5,000 character limit, so instead of editing it down, I moved it to a dedicated post on the Flight Chops website here:

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.
