✈️🇿🇦 That flyover looks effortless… but I can promise you, it wasn’t!

Watching the Airlink Embraer E190 roar over the stadium is an incredible sight, but behind those few seconds is hours of planning, preparation, coordination and training.

For a flyover like this, the crew have to be meticulously briefed on the exact flight path, altitude, speed, timing, weather, surrounding airspace and countless contingencies. The ex*****on has to be precise to the second and the metre.

What looks like a simple pass overhead is actually the result of professional crews, careful risk management and extensive preparation. Plus South African pilot are built different. 😉

Aviation is full of moments that look effortless — because professionals have worked incredibly hard to make them look that way. 👏✈️

Something I’ve been working on…

For the past few months, I’ve been working on something very close to my heart…

A way to share my 45 years of aviation experience with you on every flight. ✈️
Something designed especially for those who feel nervous, anxious, or even terrified about flying.

You’ll be able to ask me questions, tap into my knowledge and experience, and have me with you throughout your journey.

Because I truly believe that knowledge is power.
The more you understand about what’s happening around you when you fly, the less mysterious it becomes, and the less anxious you’re likely to feel.

I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from 45 years in the flight deck, thousands of flights, millions of miles and countless conversations with nervous passengers, and turned it into something completely new.

Here’s your first little glimpse… 👀📱

It’s coming very soon.

And if you’re someone who gets nervous about flying, or you know someone who does, I think you’re going to love this.

✈️ Captain Chris Calm App is coming with you.
