Greetings to all aviation fans and dreamers!
People used to romanticize pilot's careers thinking that their profession is full of adventures, pretty stewardesses, new cities, and countries. But! It is also full of irregular working hours, constant need to wake up early in the morning, not being home for two weeks in a row even on children's birthdays, bad weather, some flight incidents, etc. Pilots' high salary is justified by a high-level responsibility for passengers and crew, and the above-mentioned incidents, and the knowledge that should be obtained and developed.
This is all about the life of a business jet pilot and charter airlines. And we present you a day in the life of a light aviation pilot.
P.S. There are some surprises in the video as I've faced the engine shutting down at the very startup for the first time in my career. Stay tuned for more :)
