  • From old school to new

    Thanks Trent I love the show. 30+ years of aviation around the globe and now back home.

    I’ve converted ATPL and just about to do my FPC converting my last rating.

    Your show has been the most informative on the subject of training and I love the support you give to young aviators out there.

    Your guidance on the regulations and “interpretation” has shown me how, many are a bit confused by the wording and their own interpretation of particularly part 61. Mind you there are many contradictions... more

  • An invaluable resource for Pilots

    Trent and his podcast is brilliant. The information provided is invaluable for new CPL pilots (like me) and also experienced pilots. I wish I found this podcast sooner. It has given me the boost to push to next steps in my aviation career and has provided great insight in what it takes to be a working pilot. Thank you Trent, we all really appreciate your work.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 211 - Wet Season Seminar, Logbooks, Staying Current and NVFR Ratings Still Worthwhile?
Q: What are some ways or tips to try and stay current in the economic environment that we find ourselves in?
Robinson suggests sharing flights with other pilots, riding along to observe, practicing and critically reviewing circuits, visualizing procedures through armchair flying, and using flight simulators to maintain skills between flights.
Ep 211 - Wet Season Seminar, Logbooks, Staying Current and NVFR Ratings Still Worthwhile?
Q: What are the best options between paper and digital logbooks, and how does it all work?
Robinson recommends that student pilots keep a paper logbook for convenient access by themselves and their instructors, while maintaining a digital copy as a backup. Digital records also make it easier to calculate summaries, provided they are backed up securely.
Ep 204 - Interview with Paul Bennet
Q: What are the biggest challenges in running large airshows and maintaining a diverse fleet?
Coordinating logistics, securing CASA permissions, managing sponsorships and ticketing, and keeping parts and maintenance running across a fleet of unique Warbirds.
Ep 204 - Interview with Paul Bennet
Q: How do you ensure safety and precision in such high-performance aircraft during shows?
By training to a high standard, competing to stay sharp, checking gate heights meticulously, and planning for worst-day scenarios to minimize risk.
Ep 190 - Mail Bag and Competition Time!
Q: Should I focus on jump pilot flying or charter to build hours?
Both can provide hours, but flying as a jump pilot often doesn't come with pay, which can be a concern for pilots.
