Support FlightChops and get your merch at the new store: FlightChops.store Regarding the Survival kit: My friends at TacAero shared this code with the Flight Chops community to save $250 USD on an Aviation Survival Kit this spring. I am not being paid any portion of the sales, I just want to be a part of helping get more pilots flying safely. To get a $250 USD discount on the TacAero Survival Kit, use the code Chops250 at check out: elite.tacaero.com/products/tacaero-aviation-survival-kit Clearly it is possible to do the work and research to put a kit together yourself more cheaply, but the very experienced team at TacAero knows what you need. So if you want to save that time, effort, and the chance of getting it wrong, I stand behind this ready to go kit.

I have had my PPL for over 15 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 the 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.
