Learning to Fly Alia: No Feet?!

Video Description

The fully #electric engine has so much more fault tolerance than an ice engine - and I was surprised to earn it is actually classified as an engine, not a “motor”. THAT and the whole flying with no feet thing, was cool to learn about. This is another of several episodes we produced with Beta Technologies - They invited me to fly with them, and share their story. Stay tuned for more training and a deep dive into how this all works.

Having access to weather data while flying is a game changer! https://www.siriusxm.com/aviation/ Canadian link: https://www.siriusxm.ca/aviation/ #Flying episodes like this wouldn't be sustainable without the involvement of Patrons.

I have had my PPL for over 20 years, but still 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 very helpful in my constant quest to improve, and am happy to share. Feedback is invited; however, please keep it positive.
