Flight Chops CONTESTS!

A new contest EVERY month; shared prizes from all our sponsors totalling over $2,000!

I am SUPER stoked to add a prize from my aviation hero Bob Hoover: "Flying the Feathered Edge" Blu-Ray and Hat prize pack!

Please visit http://www.FlightChops.com for details!

Mountain Flying Training with Jason Miller was awesome!
This is an other of many episodes that I am happy to share from the 2015 workshop!

ADDED CONTEXT:
Reminder that for this series I was a student pilot and a filmmaker - I was not acting as Pilot in Command.
Part of the story is our struggle to make a fairly epic production; it was hard, and it was part of the deal. Failing to get the live iPad feed for what I considered to be the most important part of the flight was a blow. I wanted to explain why we went from live video of the iPad for all the other episodes in this series (and the first half of this episode) to having only still screen grabs for the Buck Eye Pass adventure.

FLIGHT CHOPS DISCLAIMER:
I am a "weekend warrior" private pilot, I fly for fun with no intentions of going commercial. I have had my PPL for over 15 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 the 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.
