You’re Not the Centre of the Universe (and That’s a Relief)

One of the first lessons in flight training isn’t how much control you have — it’s how much you don’t.

Weather shifts. Plans change. Systems move.

In this episode, we explore how flying teaches perspective — the kind that turns frustration into structure and pressure into clarity.

From early PPL cross-countries to thinking like a future captain, this is about the “view from above” — and why not being the centre of everything might be the most freeing realisation a pilot can make.
