Welcome to The Phobic Flyer YouTube Channel! โœˆ๏ธ
From debilitating phobia to the pilot's seat. I used to spend days psyching myself up just to board a holiday flight. In 2013, a life-changing invite from my manager at EE/BT to fly out of Cardiff Airport changed everything. By October 2020 (after 7 1/2 years of training), I officially earned my Private Pilotโ€™s Licence (PPL)โ€”fighting through severe anxiety mid-lesson to get there.On this channel, I share my journey, aviation insights, and how tech helps me conquer the skies.
What I Do:
Aviation: PPL(A) holder and CAA-qualified Commercial Drone Pilot.
Simulation: Avid VR SIMmer using X-Plane 12/MSFS 2024 for real-world navigation prep.
Media: Founder of Severn FM Radio (broadcasting since June 2011).
Tech: Mobile Networks Ops, Unix, Home Assistant, VMs, Anything with an aerial or screen...the list goes on... ๐Ÿ˜Š
Passions: Reiki II practitioner, licensed Radio Ham, and piano by ear.
