3 Years as a Pilot - where did I go wrong?
Manage episode 459489631 series 3552105
What if the thrill of soaring through the skies is occasionally shadowed by the turbulence of criticism and life’s obligations? Join me, Wayne, as I take you on a journey through the highs and lows of my adventures as a private pilot on the Try Not To Crash podcast. On this special episode, marking three years since I earned my Private Pilot License, I get candid about the challenges and rewards of flying. From the unpredictable UK weather that often grounds my plans to the balancing act between my career, family, and the cockpit, I share it all. Plus, I reveal how the pressure of maintaining my YouTube channel has impacted my confidence and passion for aviation.
Despite these clouds, the silver linings have been the friendships and experiences that have enriched my life. Flying has opened doors to a vibrant community of fellow enthusiasts, where swapping tales of sky-high adventures and technical mishaps becomes a bonding experience like no other. Through laughter and learning, it's these connections that have made the journey worthwhile. Tune in to hear about the joys and trials of a private pilot's life and the invaluable lessons learned over three years of navigating the skies.
I'm a UK based private pilot (PPL(A), who started to learn to fly in my 50s. I passed (just), but every flight is a learning experience.
I currently own 1/5 of a Cessna 172 - but I am not sure which bit is mine.
