Category: Paul Goes Flying

Had to do five take-offs and landings at night to keep being able to carry passengers at night. Sure, it’s nearly impossible to see anything, but meh, you get what you pay for.

A nasty looking storm stands between us and getting home. Do we ever make it? Are we still looking for a way around the storm to this day? Do I ever get this video edited? Stay tuned…

I needed more hood time for my night rating, so we flew down to Pitt Meadows (CYPK). Will I ever get my lefts and rights straight? Stay tuned…

This video is kinda like original Game of Thrones TV show – it’s slow, and WAY too dark. (ha.) (If it makes you feel any better, I had to do FIVE HOURS of solo circuits at night…)

After a crazy summer, I finally accomplished one of my goals – I took a friend on a sightseeing flight. The flight was awesome from start to finish (so I guess that means it’s all downhill from here?).

* Probably not $19,808.22. Anyway, in this video, I definitely do not go flying.

By the filming of this video, I’d already passed the flight exam, so all I needed was a bit of hood time (the footage was boring), and a couple of hours of solo cross-country (this). My 360 cam died shortly after liftoff, so here’s a time lapse of the entire flight, until I was about to turn base at the end (because the GoPro battery died). …also, fly like I say, not like I fly.

After four straight days of prep flights, do I pass my PPL checkride? (Either way, and in spite of what I said in the video, there were still other things I had to finish before actually getting my PPL…)

Did some circuits on a windy day. It was a whole thing.

This video’s short because most of my flight audio was messed up. (You’re welcome?) Anyway, I go under the hood (technically: sticker), to get the instrument time I need for my (hopefully) forthcoming PPL!
