ATC: Remain outside of controlled airspace!!

My aim for this flying season is to get more comfortable with ATC and flying in controlled airspace. Doing so during my licence revalidation flight was a perfect excuse to give it a go.

The controller at Aldergrove had other plans denying entry not just for me...

Life has a habit of getting in the way and sometimes it feels as if you just hanging on and being taken for a ride. Totally out of control with no way to get yourself back on track.

The funny thing is, that you are not alone. Every single one of us has, at some point, been on the border of a mental health crisis. Some even went all the way...

My aim with my flying is to raise awareness of how "common" mental health problems really are.

I ask my passengers to share their stories and how they cope. While introducing them to the joy of flying, in most cases the first time, a light aircraft.

Yes, some of these flights might be long and boring for some. But keep in mind, it is not about you. It is about the passengers prioritizing themselves and letting go of their stress and life struggles for a full hour.

DISCLAIMER: I am a "weekend warrior" National Private Pilot, I fly for fun and enjoy sharing my love for flying. I 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 helpful in my constant quest to improve and I am happy to share them. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive
