Today’s Flight Plan

Even as pilots, there are still fears we haven’t got over. These are things we need to keep working at to be more proficient, safe and capable. It’s true that you don’t have to overcome these fears, but life is sure easier (and more fun) as a pilot if you do.

So, on today’s episode we’re going to cover 5 Aviation Fears and how to overcome them.

  • Fear of Landing (Too Hard)
  • Fear of Confined Airports (trees, terrain)
  • Fear of Stalls
  • Fear of Saying the Wrong Thing
  • Fear of Failing

I’ll go through each subject.

Also, this is the first episode that features our Youtube Live feed of the show. It’s exciting (and a lot of extra work) to do this, but we feel it adds a lot more to the show.
