Seaplane flying in Scotland
Welcome to the Flying Reporter Podcast. I’m Jon Hunt, a private pilot and YouTuber from the UK, and these podcasts bring you interesting people, views and information, focussing on general aviation in the UK.
On this edition of the podcast we explore the seaplane rating... and my experience flying around the lochs of Scotland in an amphibious Cessna 172. Crazy as it might seem - this was some of the most thrilling flying I’ve done to date.
Also on this episode... we ‘ask the instructor’. Head of Training at Anglian Flight Centres, Nigel Willson joins me to discuss distractions in the cockpit, and how to avoid succumbing to tunnel vision. I share a recent experience of mine that led to me deviating from a controlled airspace clearance.

Why is aviation radiotelephony so hard to master?
Welcome to the Flying Reporter Podcast. I’m Jon Hunt, a private pilot and YouTuber from the UK, and these podcasts bring you interesting people, views and information, focussing on general aviation in the UK.
On this edition of the podcast we talk about radio telephony - that’s the strange language pilots use to communicate with controllers and vice versa. We discuss why it’s so hard to learn and why sometimes it’s just best to speak in plain English..
Also on this episode... do you know your side slip from your forward slip? Head of Training at Anglian Flight Centres joins us for our ‘ask the instructor’ feature.
