Probably the largest single pilot #IFR trip I’ve ever done (2000 miles including 2 border crossings at different places in the same day), and ATC was super helpful while I worked through a few things I hadn’t run into before.

If you’re interested in more details about cross border general aviation flying, check out this recent episode:

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.
