Don't Do This in an Airplane! What Rod Machado taught me that changed my flying...

Rod is a legendary aviation author, speaker & flight instructor, combining his unique approach to flight training with his humorous style that makes learning to fly a simpler and more enjoyable journey. An ATP-rated pilot who still gets excited at a Cessna 150 fly-by; Rod has logged over 10,000 hours, most of it while giving dual instruction. He has a degree in both Aviation Science and Psychology which, no doubt, has led to his unique style of teaching.
If that’s not enough, he keeps his students in line with the knowledge that he holds black belts in both Tae Kwon Do and Hapkido as also having trained over a decade in the Brazilian-based Gracie Jujitsu.

I always love listening to Rod explain aviation and teaching techniques. Been flying 17 years and learned something new today.

I first saw Rod Machado on the KingSchools' "Cleared For TakeOff" ground school course. Over the years he's certainly developed his unique style and, much like the Kings, America's "Original" Flight Instructors, continues to connect with humor while distilling the sometimes "dry" content that is aviation. Its always a pleasure to see Rod.

Some very good tips on flying well that you don't hear very often. Thanks!

good job

OKAY, here's the question I hope to get answered or verify my thinking.
Rod Machado just put out a new book (Private/Commercial Pilot Handbook). Is the only difference between this new book and his last Third Edition the fact that there is added study for Commercial at the end of some chapters?

Thanks for having Rod in your show, he‘s just insane and inspiring!
