Some of my students use Rayban glasses that have two camera’s.

They captured our ‘oblique (45 degrees offset) final’ yesterday.

Oblique final is relatively unique to Island & Mountain flying.

When two steams of wind come together, there is a high potential for turbulence, windshear & updrafts.

RPM gauge decided to quit on me during flight.

Luckily I know O-320’s quite well and could set RPM based on engine sound ± 70 RPM. (And I don’t really fly on RPM’s anyway).

The aircraft I’m flying needs *constant* right rudder and right bank to a degree I’ve never seen before.

All manual trim tabs are already deflected. No idea what’s going on.

Here you can see me releasing aileron and rudder pressure. AC immediately starts entering a left dive.

I’m very excited about moving to the Canary Islands for my new job.

Flying in the Netherlands is great, small airports everywhere, superb flight information service and I know it like the back of my hand, but the scenery is the most boring in the world. By far.

Flat, square pastures, repeat.

Does anyone know why the monitoring audio is so much clearer and brighter than the audio that gets recorded? GarageBand & Forcusrite 2i2

Asked on twitter too but get 0 engagement these days.
