My first flight as a qualified pilot didn’t go according to plan. Shortly after takeoff and departing the airfield’s circuit, the oil pressure needle went sky high. So I immediately head back to the airfield, mentally preparing for an emergency / forced landing if the engine quits on me.
Ultimately it was a false alarm, with the oil pressure gauge reading incorrectly, perhaps a poor earth connection or just a faulty gauge.
Hope you enjoyed my first flight as a qualified pilot, first urgent action needed, and also my first YouTube video. There’s more flying adventures to come soon, so make sure to like this video if you do, and subscribe to come fly with me in the next one.
