  • Excellent aviation podcast

    I am finishing up my commercial license, and this is one of the best aviation podcasts I have found. I can tell they put a lot of work into each episode, and they discuss topics relevant to all aspects of general aviation. Every podcast I learned something useful.

  • Very poorly done

    Amateurs in every way possible. I’ve been in aviation for 16 years, and this is a boring dribble of stories and anecdotes.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

SMAC361 Why Aviation Still Runs on “Who You Know” — Doug Taylor
Q: How does the AvTopia app work when an aircraft is AOG?
After registering and adding an aircraft, a pilot can declare an AOG with the aircraft's location and details. Nearby service providers can respond with availability, and the pilot can compare options, communicate, and review the provider after the work is complete.
SMAC361 Why Aviation Still Runs on “Who You Know” — Doug Taylor
Q: Why is aviation still such a fragmented industry despite its technological advancements?
Taylor says aviation professionals operate in separate networks and often depend on personal contacts, social media groups, and word of mouth because there is no unified place to find trusted, available providers.
SMAC358 Life Of An FAA Flight Inspection Pilot
Q: What are the minimum qualifications to become a flight inspection pilot?
Minimums include ATP-level qualifications with at least 1500 flight hours and 500 hours of multi-engine experience, plus the usual medical and certification requirements, with on-the-job training and type-specific instructions.
SMAC356 Porsche & Planes
Q: What's your goal right now as far as aviation is concerned?

SMAC356 Porsche & Planes
Q: Wyatt, welcome, first of all, and tell me a little bit about yourself. How you got into aviation?
Wyatt explains he got into aviation by watching remote-controlled planes, which sparked an interest in flying, and he shares his goal to log hours and eventually obtain a private license, with plans to pursue aviation as a career.
