I found a way to fly again!
I received some positive health news this week so I decided to try and get some flight sim practise in to remind of how much I enjoy flying around Melbourne. I also need to practise flying a Cirrus SR22 G6 to have a refresher in the avionics and cockpit layout before a trip that's coming up. So today I'm firing up X-Plane 12 and doing some flight sim practise.

Why you can't call yourself a pilot anymore
Просмотров 26 тыс.14 дней назад
I've been grounded. I can't fly. So what do you do, and what do you call yourself when you can no longer do the thing that defines you? I talk about my situation, what I've been doing since I've been grounded, and why I think I can't call myself a pilot anymore.

    Great video man. I’m a pilot for Delta, got my dream job in December last year and then a month ago hit a brick wall when I was diagnosed with hairy cell leukemia. I’m only 40. I’ve done the chemo and am currently waiting for my blood counts to come back but it’s been very hard for me because I always worked out and now I’ve lost almost 30 pounds of muscle and am staring at not knowing if I’ll ever be able to fly again. I’ve def cycled through all these emotions multiple times, hope you get back to it soon.

    My dad trained at Point Cook. He was a Lancaster bomber pilot in WW2 based at 186 squadron Stradishall, UK. He gave me my interest in flying from a young age. My first flight was on a DC6 Melb to Hobart in about 1960 when I was 4 - on my own!! Great to see Michael’s return - a real treat 😊.

    The Spitfire was superior for air defense and dogfighting at low to medium altitudes, while the P-51 had the advantage in long-range escort duties and high-altitude combat. Both aircraft have their place in aviation history, and their performance, design, and impact on World War II make them legendary

    Hiyazz Stef, from Eastern Canada! I know where you are coming from. I lost my pilot's medical (private and commercial) back in Jan., 2003 due 2 moderate brain injuries received from a bad wintery auto accident that almost killed me. Now, I suffered an acute clot-based stroke on the evening of Mon., Feb. 12, 2024, that has affected my right peripheral vision in both eyes but mainly my right dominant eye, and, has affected my balance somewhat. I figure now my chances of ever getting my pilot's medical back is extremely slim. I miss flying very much. I am daily reminded of what I enjoyed doing, since I live a 15 minute walk from the airport at home. I still have bouts of depression, stress, anxiety and such, mainly from the stroke. Keeping active in other activites, like work around the house, phyical exercise and hobbies, does help a lot. Thanks for sharing in what you when through and how you manage it. Glad to see you came out ok from your brain surgery. Kalvin N, former Pilot

However, the really useful "weather during the flight" stuff is blurred out... you have to pay for "Premium" Windy to get it. Likewise 10-day forecasts. :(
