FACING MY FEARS. Why aerobatics made me a safer glider pilot.

Описание: We often talk about the beauty of gliding — soaring silently over mountains, circling under clouds, enjoying freedom in the air.

But every glider pilot knows there is another side.

In this video, I share a very personal experience of facing my fears as a glider pilot and explain why aerobatics became an essential part of my training to fly safer, calmer, and with greater control.

After years of cross-country gliding, confidence and routine quietly grow. And that’s exactly where risk can hide.

I think that routine, comfort, and confidence can silently expose pilots to danger, and in this video I explore how aerobatic training helps rebuild true control — of aircraft, body, and mind.

You’ll join me inside the cockpit during my first aereal acrobatics lessons, including:

flying inverted for the first time
loss of orientation
high workload and G-load effects
