Flying lesson #27 - instrument flying - in 360°

I'll make a video about this in due course, but I've decided to go with the PPL licence. Because of this I need to learn how to fly using just instruments and partial instruments. Wow, talk about concentration! I had no idea where we were until Andrew revealed it to me. Quite a surprise! Went pretty well though I thought. :-)

BIG thank you to Compton Abbas Flying School & their instructors for letting me video it all. It's helping me no end, and I hope it helps newcomers to flying. Please pop by and visit - not only one of the most picturesque airfields in the country, but it has a terrific restaurant and awesome staff. Top stuff.

Here's the equipment I use to record:

GoPro Fusion

Accessory kit to mount the GoPro (suction cup is what I use)

2 x Samsung 128GB micro SD - just shy of 4 hours recording time

RAVPower battery pack - essential to keep the energy-hungry GoPro Fusion happy

Took me a few attempts to find a USB cable that would transmit the power to the GoPro successfully. Here it is:
