2. Frédéric, Flight Instructor and Physiotherapist
from Ground Effect Aviation Podcast Hosted by Parimal Satyal
In our second episode, we speak to my flight instructor Frédéric. I've been flying with Frédéric at my aéroclub for a couple of months now and this episode was chance to get to know what made him want to change careers and become a pilot relatively late in life, what it's like to teach someone else how to fly and what his own goals are as a pilot. We also talk about: Why he feels like he has aviation in his genes What made him want to pursue his hobby and get his license What drew him to acrobatic flying How bad landings are a simply a necessary part of flight training What it's like to teach someone how to fly and learn to trust them Tips for the beginning student pilot How, regardless of experience, a pilot has to always be learning Frédéric mention these things in the podcast: The Right Stuff, a historical drama about the early test pilots involved in cutting-edge research at Edwards Air Force Base in the 60s, including the legendary Chuck Yeager. L'avionnaire, a very thorough online encyclopaedia on aviation, with articles on everything from history, aerodynamics and instrument flying to weather, engines and de-icing (in French). A huge thanks to Frédéric for taking the time to chat. We hope you enjoy this episode. This is a fairly new podcast and we've still got a lot to learn, so we've love to hear from you!
