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.
