Using an Eclipse for charitable flights, with Mark Hanson

About this episode

Mark Hanson discusses the rewarding experience of public benefit flying and shares insights on managing these flights and using his Eclipse aircraft.

Public benefit flying might mean transporting a cancer patient or relocating turtles, but regardless of the mission Mark Hanson says it’s rewarding, fun, and great for keeping your pilot skills sharp. He talks about managing the pressure of these flights, how to get started with a volunteer pilot organization, and why his Eclipse is the perfect airplane. In the Ready to Copy segment, Mark talks about his most memorable passenger, tips for flying into busy airports, and a new aviation weather tool he likes.
