Awesome video Hayden. Thanks for creating and sharing. Looking forward to future videos. Safe flying.

Butter Landing 3:00

Yay! Way to go. You have made a difference in the world, not only for you, but for others.

Since I talk about CASA in this video, I want to remind people to please do not bash on CASA or harass them and any keyboard warriors will have their comments deleted. They are working on this with safety in mind and we don't want to compromise on aeronautical safety and of course, it slows progress and it will take years but it will be worth it in the end. This series was filmed last year (actually a year ago on the day I'm uploading this) so some criticisms are out of date either from me understanding CASA's POV and their systems or self-studying on human factors. Thank you!

pls come to Melbourne Hayden you inspire me soso much ur a true legengd

Yeah no that seems fair 😂

the puppy attack at the end was hilarious 😂 you have a great laugh!

I had the exact same gap problem on my Jabiru, they re-rolled the edge and got it fixed. The subtitles you've added are great, we can understand what you're saying while you're flying now.

also, best regards from Perth

Love the demonstration of the face!

hiiii ;) also loved that little fall you did on the green carriage when the plane was being towed 😅

Thank you so much for speaking up for Neurodiverse Pilots! You're a blessing and an inspiration!

That landing was CLEAN!!!!!

fantastic video. you're actually a very talented, charming person. and thank you for putting up subtitles. best regards from Perth

first time ive been jealous of a plushie. thats a well travelled toy :)

Great Video!

14:00 Better than BUTTER

i'd love to fly with you! and i love your cute plushie. love from Perth

i really appreciate the subtitles. its so great to watch your journey!! id love to fly over the Nullabor one day 😊😊

Thanks for sharing any mistakes you make, they're the best thing pilots can communicate to each other. Even if you had a voice as clear as a News Presenter you'd still need subtitles when recording cockpit audio, so thankyou for the effort it will take to add them later.

Just been refered to you via AUS Sim , do you have a FB or X account , i help with a UK Flying chairy just wondered if i can reach out privately

it was a bit hard hearing u in the cockpit, but incredible video. you should be so proud of yourself

great to see a video from you. wish we got some more aerial shots of Esperance and the nullabor!

So great mate! Epic message and great video. Proud of what you have made!

Blue skies and tailwinds all the way Captain Hayden

Congratulations on the flight Hayden and I commend you for asking the questions you are, about how we (the aviation industry) can support and embrace diversity..

Well done Hayden ✈️hopefully this creates a pathway for autistic pilots to work for the royal flying doctors service in Australia

Great work mate.

Hi Hayden you are another inspirational person I know who is struggling to get through life with autism. I thank you for trying to make a difference I hope you succeed on your mission and in life too

I've been following you on Facebook and finally gotten around to watch your videos. Wow, Hayden. Your passion and determination shows through. Never apologise for who you are because you are a smart and inspirational young man, for people of all abilities.

Good on you 👏 Hayden... Awesome 👌 work... Now not even sky is a limit 😊

This is so good! I’ve just found your channel and can’t wait to see more of your trip. If you’re passing YSHL on your trip I’d love to come say hi. Go get it mate 🤙🏼

Hey buddy! Just saw this video and your channel for the first time. I want you to know you're not alone with all the stresses you're experiencing. I'm a fellow pilot, and know that life is incredibly hard to balance with flight training. Don't give up, keep your head high. That 'mentality' that you speak of is earned through hard work, and overcoming obstacles like this. Be yourself and stop caring what others think! Compare yourself to the old you, and not to others. Big things come to those who sacrifice quality of life for a greater outcome. Trust yourself.

from another jab pilot, see you in the sky :)

You are a very capable young man Hayden, being a bit scared makes your upcoming journey very exciting. Just take one day at a time and everything will fall into place. Looking forward to following you on here. Go Hayden!

You got this man!! Wishing you the best of luck for the trip, I’ll be following you along on here!

Thank you for sharing you story, Hayden! We hope your dedication to what you love and sharing your perspectives encourages other autistic people to do the same. Keep up the wonderful work!

Legend Hayden - awesome message and awesome quest.

This is a brilliant idea, I wish you the best of luck with the trip.

Such a powerful and solid message! Wishing you all the best for your journey!

Thankyou for being you and doing what you are, you have a big journey ahead of you, one I hope to also achieve one day. I am a pilot with an RAA flexible wing endorsement in Collie. This video would benefit from manually entered subtitles, with the aircraft noise at times it is hard to hear what you are saying.

Good on you young man, brilliant story, awesome channel, really well done and thank you. Brett

Great video - I really enjoyed it. You handled the turbulence and radio failure really well - great job!

thank you this was very helpful and informative
