The pursuit of perfection, with Michael Goulian

As one of the few people to ever fly an airshow at Oshkosh, a competition aerobatic routine, and a Red Bull Air Race, Michael Goulian has a unique perspective on flying at the edge of the envelope. In this episode, he takes us behind the scenes to share how he prepares both physically and mentally for a performance, what’s unique about modern aerobatic airplanes, and what his favorite maneuver is. Michael is also a longtime flight instructor and flight school owner, so he connects the intense focus of the airshow world to the job of a primary flight instructor, with tips for improving stick and rudder skills in the age of glass cockpits. In the Ready to Copy segment, he talks about his favorite fly-in destination in New England, his pre-show playlist, and golf.SHOW LINKS:* Mike Goulian Aviation: https://mikegoulianaviation.com/* Goulian Aerosports: https://mikegoulian.com/* PJ2 GPS Radio: https://www.sportys.com/pj2-gps-radio.html
