Hi, I’m Pilot Nick 👋🏻 a professional pilot with more than 25+ years of experience flying everything from private jets to airliners across the globe.

Over the years, I’ve met countless passengers who feel uneasy at the mere thought of flying. I’ve seen white knuckles gripping armrests during turbulence and heard the nervous laughter when the seatbelt sign dings on. I get it, flying can feel overwhelming when you don’t know what’s happening.
