    I always listen to the green dot when i am on long drives and it is always inspiring listening to the stories and really reflecting on why i got into aviation in the first place. I appreciate the hosts for putting on such a wonderful show and the guest speakers who always do a great job of sharing their side of aviation. I appreciate all of you at the EAA and especially those on the Green Dot.

    Keep some of the Airventure spirit going during the long months away from Oshkosh. The green dot is one of my top three aviation podcasts. Highly professional in production values and varied in topics and guests.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EAA’s The Green Dot — Joby Aviation Test Pilot Zach Reeder
Q: What is the near-term plan for operations and certification in urban markets like Dubai and major U.S. cities?
Initial routes are focused on VFR airspace with significant attention to air traffic management, vertiport locations, and regulatory milestones; service would start in specific corridors with gradual scale-up and a 135-certificated framework to support pilot and crew operations.
EAA’s The Green Dot — Joby Aviation Test Pilot Zach Reeder
Q: What are the key advantages of powered lift operating in the urban environment compared with traditional helicopters?
The main advantages are lower noise levels, diffusion of noise rather than a high-pitched beating, zero local emissions, and the potential to reshape urban mobility with a fly-by-wire system that eases pilot workload while enabling urban routes.
EAA’s The Green Dot — Cape Air Assistant Chief Pilot Dave Zarrella
Q: What does the future look like for Cape Air?
Discussion of fleet plans, including transition from Cessna 402s to Tecnam P2012 Travelers, pilot pathways, and continued adaptability to serve regional routes.
EAA’s The Green Dot — Cape Air Assistant Chief Pilot Dave Zarrella
Q: What first got you interested in wanting to fly?
Dave describes early curiosity sparked by airplanes, discovery flights, and a path through flight training and college programs.
