Just posted on YouTube: Billy Winburn and I have been experimenting with bits of training video. Here, Mimi and I are standing by her Citabria talking about Action-Reaction, one of the nine principles of light airplane flying. It’s not your typical FAA explanation. As Mimi notes, it’s a “high-level concept” about wind, angle of attack, the flight controls, and other parts of an airplane. #showyourwork #nineprinciplesoflightairplaneflying #aviation #flighttraining #communityaviation #richstowell Five minutes long: https://lnkd.in/gHe-2gYP

I cannot stress enough the critical importance of addressing the hazards posed by level crossings. Having spent extensive time in the cab, I'm acutely aware of the heart-stopping moment when a road vehicle approaches a crossing at speed. The questions flood in: Will they stop? Has the driver noticed us? Should we prepare for impact? Though it's been a decade since I regularly traversed long distances up front, the reflexive fear still grips me whenever I encounter a rural level crossings. The gravity of the situation is not to be underestimated. Countless lives are at risk, all for the sake of adhering to a timetable/schedule. This chilling reality demands immediate attention and action from both the road and rail industries. All operators have to keep spreading the message and spreading awareness. Well done to Aurizon for their new campaign.
