Season 3, Episode 4

When you watch someone flying on YouTube, you can't comment on the safety of their approach unless you can see both their airspeed and their altimeter. Plain and simple. Aviation is all about converting energy from one form to another to get where you want to go. Need a better example? Glider pilots pay for one installment of energy when they get towed up to altitude, and live off of that energy and what they can find in their environment for hours on end. As always, I am only a pilot sharing my thoughts on the industry. Only a licensed flight instructor can provide advice on aircraft operation, so befriend one as quickly as you can!

Hey, did you guys know that the FAA actually certifies flight instructors to tell you everything that I try to convey in these videos? You should definitely talk to one of them instead of trusting some video you found on the internet, because who am I to tell you how to fly? I'm just a pilot sharing my experiences with the world, and these videos are not meant to be instructional or advisory in any respect.
