Meet the Airlink pilot who says flying a jet is like driving a souped-up sports car.
After a dozen years behind the controls, Fouche still finds every day’s flying exhilarating, despite flying routes that have become familiar and what we as the public might consider to be a humdrum of take-off and landing.
“This is what I get to do every day. It’s literally the adrenaline that you feel, when you’re coming in for a landing and you have tough conditions, and you’re working hard to ace it.When Fouche speaks about her job, she gushes: “You feel great, you feel accomplished. I mean, just the things we see, like sunsets and sunrises, you can see the beautiful and mesmerising mountains.
“In the winter months, you might get nicer weather. But then you could encounter turbulence again. And then you need to make a plan for that.”While there was no significant damage, the way the bolt travelled along the fuselage caused a bright flash on the wing tip, and passengers were somewhat uncomfortable.
