I’m a CFII at JWN! Stoked I found this podcast!

It took 22:28 minutes for you to get to the point

Your sign off is the best one yet! lol

Awesome to meet Brian flying back home after this recording! Stop back at 6L4 any time you are in the area!

Excellent! Thanks

great show gents! yes Ben S from down under correct Ben.

Just found this, seems like a good podcast, thanks guys

Reduce intro volume by 40% please.

These guys are my peeps!

20:44 I never considered the annunciation of Prescott until the Yarnell fire in 2013 when the radio went up the hill and was told it’s Prescott like biscuit. Ever since, I can’t remember what I called it growing up nor what I call it now. (Born and raised in Prescott)

Thanks for taking the time to create all this content. Much appreciated

I just learned of OB from this show, listened to a few episodes, not bad. Totally not what I expected seeing RH.

Hey could you post a link to ChrisC’s content?

I’ve gotten back into simming recently. Haven’t flown in years-using the sim to prepare for getting back into flying IRL. Setup is MSFS 2020, Honeycomb alpha/bravo, pedals, and an old joystick used for housekeeping buttons-views, headtracker controls etc. Have a GNS530 physical replica but plan to replace it with a better unit, and a physical radio stack. My space is very cramped, similar in feel to a real cockpit. Kneeboard strapped to my leg. No the sim won’t prepare you for the kinematics of real-world flight, but SO many things can be practiced to advantage, especially checklists and procedures. That said, the plane I’m using at the moment is the FSreborn Sting LSA, very similar to the Gobosh I learned in, and the flight characteristics are pretty good. in particular, a slip to landing works and feels exactly as I remember it! It also has a very faithful G3X which, being a touchscreen, goes a long way toward preparing you for the real buttonology and logic of Garmin glass. I also fly the steam-gauge Black Square Bonanza using the 530 (the Garmin most likely to be encountered IRL). The sim has really helped me learn the basics of these units. The thing that really changed simming for me is a new ATC app called Say Intentions. I flew on PilotEdge for a while, but it’s expensive and the controllers were, let’s say, a bit grumpy. (But highly recommended if you need serious radio help.) With Say Intentions, the sim is a reasonably realistic learning environment with a lot less radio fright. I research and prepare flights as I would IRL, start cold & dark on the ramp, run paper checklists, enter flight plans manually, copy down ATC instructions on the kneepad, change frequencies and squawk codes manually, look out at landmarks, keep my ears open for my callsign, practice moving through nav pages in flight, practice mental math for descents and such, practice patterns and pattern entries… not only learning but having fun as well! Much more to learn-VOR nav, IFR, etc. But for a low time sport pilot, what I’m doing now is good prep for getting back in the seat. Glad I found your podcast. Want to check out ChrisC as well. p.s. there is a highly regarded TBM 850 steam gauge model for MSFS 2020, from Black Square.

Good points made. I've been flying MSFS since the 1st versions when I was a kid. Flight models and hand flying are still the weakest point of PC sims. Back in the 80's / 90's sims were already great for IFR training and learning radio navigation. The late 90's early 2000's brought in the first true 'world' imagery that started to be viable for visual navigation practice. Getting back into flying after a 10 year break, FS2020 is down right amazing in terms of real world replication. I'm fortunate to have a PA-24-250 in real life and with the A2A Comanche I have a simulated aircraft that is almost identical in performance and much of the cockpit. If you fly Garmin GTN or GTNxi equipment, the TDS 750 add-on uses Garmin's actual 750 simulator. You can also easily link ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot apps to the sim for learning how to use the apps on a 'real' simulated flight. For those wanting to practice ATC voice work, the VATSIM network is very selective on their controller training and while not 100% real is pretty close most of the time.

Tuesday just isn’t the same without a live MLPP….but at least I can always catch-up later. Loved hearing Josh’s emergency recount and another excellent rant from 1DG! Thanks, all 😊

🎉🎉 Thanks guys!

Do a better job coordinating microphone volumes, please. One of you is screaming and one I can barely hear.

Although it’s nice to hear Chris on the podcast it’s sad to know he’s not going to be here all the time. I enjoy all participants but his voice was to me the most recognizable. Even if I didn’t know I tuned in the midlife pilot podcast I knew when I heard his voice.

Good to hear things are going well with Chris. He was an inspiration to me as I was a training for my pilot certificate. Got my private certificate 2 years ago at age 62.

Is this live?

Good evening Av8tors🛫

Thanks for the recap! What a blast! I'm looking forward to the next reunion with y'all.

Was a real treat to meet you all and hang out in Nashville!

sorry all... we are making a new link and session --

"Hydration control" - I have 4 boys. when they were young, we'd give them a bottle of water each and they'd drink it in 10 minutes and then have to pee 30 miles from departure. So i'd freeze the bottles then give them to them. Controlled ingestion. Perfect. They didn't like it - would be whining "I'm so thirsty." I'd say "wedge it between your legs and it''ll melt faster. Works on road trips as well.

Disagree with the recommendation to put tablets in front of kids in the plane. No…flying in and of itself is a privilege and the experience should be shared with the kids. Get them off of the screens and show them the wonders of the world from the air.

Love me some MLP content. 💯

If you head west you should consider KCGI, Cape Girardeau, MO. It’s 20 miles north of Sikeston with a much better restaurant, The Pilot House, on the field. The only drawback… no one will throw rolls at you. Great little FBO and great fuel prices.

Trent Lott International, Moss Point MS. I used to skydive there out of a Pilatus Porter.

Betty Beacon - Intro name! lol

I am a student with 26 hours In North Texas in the pre solo phase. Im also a mid life guy, so i completely relate to all of this!

Cameras are great for training, both for the instructor and the student. The CFI can review the footage and make a training plan to improve on the student's weaknesses. If you're going to have cameras for making content, then pilots needs to remember ANC: Aviate, Navigate, Communicate. Not paying attention is where you get into trouble, and it can cost you your PPL, the lives of others or your own. If you're more interested in making content than being a pilot, then that's not a pilot I want to fly with. Not worth my life.

Another great episode! I wonder when commercial airliners will have cameras similar to the cameras cars have. Something that gives pilots more situational awareness.

If I don’t fly for over a month, I grab my CFI as a safety pilot.

You can also have fuel reserve minimum’s different from FAA requirements. I do a one hour fuel reserve during day or night.

Thanks guys.

I just hope they work 😁. My club just decided to start a "discovery flight" promotion where non-club members can get a free ride on the club's dime as a sort of discovery flight. Its not a discovery flight in the traditional sense of the word, because its not flight instruction and the pilot doesn't have to be a CFI, but I'm hoping I can get better at my sales pitch flights so we can get some more members.

Adios, Chris! It's been a blast, and I'll still look forward to your videos. Your videos while you were a student were great for me, as I was student going through some of the same stuff you did. I passed my checkride a couple weeks ago, and I'd like to think you played a little part of that. Ben and Tedder, I've really enjoyed watching your videos and can't wait to see where the podcast goes from here with the three of you. Question: who is going to introduce Brian as being from deep in the heart of Music Row?!

So long, Chris.
