  • These guys are great!

    Found these guys just a couple of weeks before osh 25 and can count on a single hand the number of times something other than the 21.five podcast has been playing in my car since. Currently a CFI-I at just over 1300hrs passionate about all things aviation, and these guys scratch all the aviation itches. Getting into some of the older shows I can relate to Max’s M-14P fun, as I’ve had scuba bottles hooked up to Nanchangs and a Wilga. All fun aside, this show has definitely influenced my flying an... more

  • Healthy part 91 long haul

    I fly a Global Express and do quite a bit of Atlantic crossings. Both in the plane, and in Biz class on airlines. Compression socks are a must have. And sun screen.

    Keep up the awesome content!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

179. What Happened to Those “Hard Days Off” You Promised Me?
Q: How common is it for pilots to experience being on-call 24-7 when only promised a set schedule?
This experience is not uncommon in Business Aviation, and many pilots deal with such situations. It's advised to secure employment terms in writing to avoid these scenarios.
178. What did the Mr Beast Challenge Pilot Do for 100 Days in a Jet?
Q: How in the world did you get wrapped up in this incredible situation?
I fly for an accounting firm and responded to an ad for a pilot, thinking it was a regular job until I got an NDA and discovered it was a MrBeast video challenge.
177. Should You Spend $8K on a Seaplane Rating or a CFI?
Q: What are your thoughts on choosing between a Seaplane add-on or a CFI?
The hosts suggest exploring backcountry flying instead of the two options and consider the seaplane add-on for fun and resume enhancement.
176. Will a United Internship Trump Turbine Time?
Q: If you had to pick United Internship, Boutique Air, or Aerial Survey, what would you go with?
The guest suggests prioritizing the United Internship first for the networking and experience it offers, then considering the multi-engine flying opportunity at Boutique Air, and lastly the Aerial Survey due to its variability in flying hours.
172. What does it take to reinstate your lapsed CFI?
Q: What are a couple of common pitfalls that folks run into or maybe mistakes that are made, a couple tips you could give folks?
Not using the outside resources available to folks, such as AOPA and their Air Safety Institute, as well as being careful when showing up for a flight review.
