About this episode
Jack Long’s urge to explore is stronger than most people: he has flown his Pilatus PC-12 around the world in both directions, over the north and south poles, and completed two dozen Atlantic crossings. But he insists he’s no daredevil, and in this episode he explains his detailed approach to pre-flight planning and his comprehensive standard operating procedures manual that keeps him safe. Jack is also passionate about conservation flying, and talks about a memorable flight when he transported gray wolves from Canada to Colorado. In the Ready to Copy segment, Jack shares the most unique airport he’s visited, his favorite survival gear, and how his business background helps him as a pilot. * Jack’s flying blogs: https://wjlblogs.blogspot.com/2022/10/blogs-round-world-flight-2015-round.html * LightHawk: https://lighthawk.org/ * PilotWorkshops Mastery: https://pilotworkshop.com/products/vfr-mastery/ * Check out the new Air Facts podcast: https://airfactsjournal.com/podcast/
