Taking that weather gap. Again... SNOW and intense crosswind landing.

A short but intense flight around the block.

I know there was snow on the way.
I also know a 20kts wind aloft was forecasted.

This is another video pushing my personal limits. The flight was supposed to last longer than 20 minutes, but I chickened out when that snow started moving in.

The final chapter, the crosswind landing, was what I was here to do. It was intense, with a lot going on but I managed to get on the ground with a totally acceptable landing.

Thanks to the video footage, I found a lot of small mistakes that I can work on in the future.

Life has a habit of getting in the way, and sometimes, it feels as if you're just hanging on and being taken for a ride. You're totally out of control, and there's no way to get 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 a light aircraft, in most cases for the first time.

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.
