    Ready for a sky-rocketing adventure into the world of aviation? We've got an episode lined with intriguing insights and exciting tales of navigating through thunderstorms and airfield gradients. One moment we're dodging weather anomalies, and the next, we're making a calculated take-off from a challenging Virginia airport. Along the way, we'll share how flight simulator games aren't just for fun but can also be a practical tool to sharpen piloting skills.

    As we soar through the skies of aviation, we also venture into the crucial aspects of flight safety. We zero in on the importance of proper gear from life jackets to Mustang Survival inflatable jackets, the role of planning for wind conditions, altitude, and the indispensable value of a life raft in emergencies. We even have an entertaining debate on the legality of drinking while flying an ultralight vehicle, making you rethink the implications of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

    Our journey doesn't end there. We dip our toes into water activity preparations, discussing the essential gear for safe flying over bodies of water. Hear us compare Mustang and Gumby suits and their role in cold weather conditions. Plus, we've got a fun twist for you - a Bud Light comparison, German vs American. Now, who wouldn't want to know about that? Buckle up, and join us as we navigate the turbulent and thrilling skies of aviation.

  • Your Flight Path to Instruction | Guests: Jeff & Hali
    Aug 31 2023

    Are you ready to take your flying skills to the next level? Today, we bring you an in-depth guide on how to become a certified flight instructor. We unpack all the crucial elements, from the differences between a flight review and a biennial, to the nuances of flying different aircraft, such as the 150 and 172. We also walk you through the process of obtaining a CFII and emphasize the importance of continuous practice and skill refinement.

    Have you ever wondered why biannual flight reviews are so crucial? Stick around as we dive into the nitty-gritty of energy management, slips, and the imperative of practicing takeoffs and landings. We also break down complex maneuvers like deep turns, slow flight, and stalls, and differentiate their execution in banner and non-banner planes. As a bonus, we reveal the necessity of rewriting the POH and the secret of landing with the flaps in the last five feet.

    In our final segment, we lay bare the strategies for flying into a Bravo airspace and the associated costs. We stress the need for a constant scan during steep turns and caution against the risks of using landmarks for landing. We delve into airport anxiety and discuss the practicality of the application template. Wrapping up, we explore the concept of a legend flight and address the common fear of thunderstorms among pilots. Trust us, you don't want to miss this!

Great for learning the most random things about aviation.

I started listening to this show on my way to the airport and work. I absolutely love it and have learned so much about aviation, thanks Lee. I have also learned other things that I’m not sure if they are helpful or not but can’t hurt to know. Like Scott and the milk jugs ratio for flying over water. All in all it’s been a good show. Thanks Rob for keeping it on track.

educational and engaging

I had been looking for educational audiobooks to complement my ground school classes as I work toward my PPL... instead I found this. the three hosts are all very knowledgeable and help keep me much more engaged and entertained while studying regulations than I ever thought possible. Minus one star for performance because I can't always hear them all clearly.

Pretty chill

Due to my current circumstances I'm unable to fly for an extended period, and listening to this podcast gives me a sense of comradare I last found when going to school for aviation. Every host has a unique point of view and listening keeps the regs fresh in your mind while also adding in bits of humor and advice, whats not to love?

Great pilot podcast!

Currently a student pilot. It’s a great way to review concepts in an entertaining way. All three of the hosts and the guests have different perspectives that are helpful for getting the big picture.

Huh?

Norman

Has nothing to do with regs or even aviation - just drinking. Kind of a waste of time.
