Welcome to Episode 256. Whether flying recreationally or professionally, two important goals you should always keep in mind is to control the plane and not hit anything. These goals include various skills and philosophies we use while flying an aircraft.
Today we will discuss in this how you can better control the plane and not hit anything. This is an especially relevant topic since many of us have not been flying much and need to return to mastering some of the most basic flying skills.
