Do you set hard personal flying weather minima?

03/20/23 • 24 min

My name’s Jon Hunt, a private pilot, YouTuber and former BBC TV news reporter. I make inspirational, educational and entertaining general aviation content with a UK focus - and being a fixed wing pilot - that’s where my heart lies and what drives most of my content.

Today, we’re discussing how to improve things for general aviation in the UK. I’ll be talking to a recently appointed general aviation advocate.

And if you fly - do you have a set personal weather minima? Or if you’re a student or recently qualified pilot, how do you learn the skills required to judge when it’s safe to fly, or safer to wait for a better day.

Hello, and welcome to the Flying Reporter Podcast. I hope you’ve been enjoying the series so far.
Today, I’ll be talking to two extraordinary aviators who’ve overcome extreme adversity to get their pilots licenses and unrestricted class 2 medicals. Both were injured in terrible accidents and are now disabled, but they fly just like you and I. We hear about the amazing charity, Aerobility and how it transforms the lives of the people it helps.

And in our ask the instructor feature, we discuss how to go about choosing a flying instructor and flying school.
