My friend Jackie and I decided to go for a quick flight before having dinner with some friends in Worcester. Jackie has listened to me talk about flying for years, but never been in a small aircraft before, so I was prepared for the worst. Despite showing some signs of nervousness, she quickly warmed up to the novelty of flying over the city. On this particular route, there is a 2,000 foot tower almost directly in your path, so I analyze some obstacle avoidance techniques. Consider this your guide to nervous passengers!
Hey, did you guys know that the FAA actually certifies flight instructors to tell you everything that I try to convey in these videos? You should definitely talk to one of them instead of trusting some video you found on the internet, because who am I to tell you how to fly? I'm just a pilot sharing my experiences with the world, and these videos are not meant to be instructional or advisory in any respect.
