The latest Flight Chops episode is live on YouTube - it’s a teaser for some of the amazing things I’ve been able to capture (with an awesome new exterior camera mount) over a record breaking few months of flying. I’ve never exceeded 100 Hours in less than 6 months before, but that’s how this season went. There have been a pile of really great #IFR cross countries, as well as some excellent 4 ship formation flying with the Canadian Aviation Museum crew, and of course lots of aerobatics as I train

How often do you practice hand flying in bumpy IMC? The RV-14 is really well equipped and is a very “twitchy airplane” so it is tempting to lean on the automation for all instrument flying. While it is critical to have a solid understanding of the avionics and systems management, I don’t want to let my hand flying skills atrophy. I try to hand fly about 1 in 5 approaches, and when I’m in bumby conditions like this, I’ll occasionally kick off the autopilot and see how well I can maintain altitude

Flying the 8th most scenic approach in the world is both beautiful and intimidating. In this case I was also arriving minutes before the airspace closed for the Toronto International airshow… but that’s a story for another time. Having @foreflight on board for all flying, but especially high pressure missions like this, adds incredible situational awareness and reduces the stress. | Flight Chops

It’s amazing how much a pilot can expand their “skills envelope” by (safely) rolling past 90 degrees! Watch Ed take control for his first Aileron roll! @barenakedpilot and @flightchops team up for a flying adventure. Stay tuned for more Ed’s 1st Aerobatics! Both Ed and Steve are wearing @boseaviation A30 headsets for clear communications while Ed is in control flying various figures for the first time! Thanks to @Insta360 for the amazing cameras (this was shot with the Insta360 X5 and the Ace Pr

Each year the crew from the Canadian Aviation Museum aims to fly as many of the fleet aircraft as we’re able, over an event for the anniversary of the Battle of Britain. It is rarely good weather, we’re low over an urban center with significant obstacles, and in this case there was also an active TFR to be aware of. When flying in Formation it is critical that my attention is not split, so this was a great use case of @foreflight keeping us safe with super clear weather radar overlay, visual war

It is both liberating and daunting to have the authority to inspect and then sign off an airplane as “airworthy”. 😬 This clip was from June when I did my annual inspection for what I thought was going to be good for the year... But I’ve already exceeded 100 hours on the airframe since then (now November), so despite not being legally required to do an other annual inspection, I do feel it is prudent to do a condition inspection (equal to, or greater than a typical annual.) In this case, it is l
