Hey there 👋
You know that feeling when you're stuck on the ground on a perfect flying day, just staring at the sky? That's been me for the past few months. My logbook entries have been less "Cross-country to Le Touquet" and more "Chapter 7: Flight Planning and Monitoring”.
Yep, I've been deep in the books, wrestling with the beast that is the Instrument Rating. It wasn't exactly the adventure I had planned for the summer, but I'm thrilled to say I'm through to the other side. The good news? The theory exams are behind me, the skies are calling again, and it’s time for a new episode of The Pilot's Logbook!
In This Week’s Episode - All About Flying Dogs 🐾
Have you ever dreamed of sharing the skies with your dog? In this episode, we chat with commercial French pilot Antoine Gallet, who has mastered the art of flying with his whippet, Lilou.
Join us as we discuss:
The incredible bond that comes from adventuring with your pet.
The practical challenges of flying with a dog in the cockpit and how to solve them.
Crucial safety considerations, from harnesses to planning, to keep your pet safe.
How Antoine’s experience can help you prepare for your own flights with your pet.
Also in this episode:
The inspiring Philippe Polman brings us the Pilot's Tip of the Day, presented by Echelon Air.
And the most friendly air traffic controller I know, Amanda Rhodes, brings us another "Ask Amanda!" In this episode, she shares with you what we should do before first contact with an ATC unit.
