Hey there 👋

Welcome to a new episode of The Pilot’s Logbook - a podcast companion for private pilots in the UK and Europe!

In This Week’s Episode

Stefan Drury

In this week’s episode, we deal with one of the biggest concerns of any pilot: the possibility of losing our medical certificate. Our guest today is Stefan Drury, a real go-to name for excellent aviation content.

Stefan's popular YouTube channel is packed with fascinating stories and travel adventures, including his epic pilot series flying his Cirrus SR22 across Australia, Europe and the US.

Then, early in 2024, Stefam faced a significant setback with a brain tumour diagnosis and the loss of his medical.

It's been truly inspiring to see how Stefan has approached losing his medical, having to stop flying as a pilot (not knowing what the future held), and how he's moved forward.

In this episode, Stefan shares his insights on navigating that moment, discovering hope and new adventures.

Also in this episode:

Amanda Rhodes, a NATS Air Traffic Controller, answers our listeners’ questions about Luton zone transit. Also, we catch up on the latest aviation news headlines that are relevant to you:

  • Moving Maps to be part of the Private Pilot’s licensing training syllabus and skills test.
