David Moser from Cirrus is here to tell us all about their recent deal with United Aviate Academy. I think you’re really going to like what David has to say and I know you’re going learn a few things about the Cirrus, I know I certainly did. And the best part is the rest of the show is all about you all, and the plethora of wonderful feedback that I’ve had since the show came back on the air. Music by: Damma Beatz

The Talk2Tower Aviation Radio Instruction Platform is the result of 3.5 years training, implementation and analysis of private radio instruction and was designed and developed to be an entirely new class of Aviation Radio Instruction. Talk2Tower’s unique program offers fully comprehensive radio instruction that is detailed, concise and operationally functional. The benefits of the Talk2Tower program are undeniable, but by far, the most important value is the tremendous increase in safety when a pilot is effective and efficient in communications with Air Traffic Control.

Where the F* have I been?
Well, it’s probably time to address the elephant in the room… It’s been since August 2021 that I’ve released a podcast Episode and yes, there’s a very good reason. And that’s what today’s show is. A bit of a comeback really, but mostly just an explanation of what happened and how I’ve dealt with it. And that’s not to be somber or negative. I’m genuinely happy to be back, and I want to thank everyone who has emailed and messaged me over the last six months or so, asking what’s up, and offering genuine words of encouragement to come back. And we’ll cover most of those in the talk. And I say ‘we’ because I asked my friend Rob Mark to come on and act as my sounding board as I talk through everything. He’s a good listener and I thank him for doing this one with me. It feels good to be back!

Episode 93 | Enthusiasm | Feedback | Chad | Becoming a CFI
These last few months have really been something for me. I think the best way to describe it is as a total reset. All of the hard lessons learned over the last year and a half, plus all of the great stuff too, all put back together in a new package, and with that, the show’s finally back. And with a bang because Chad’s here, and I’ve got a great reading from one of my favorite magazines that sums up “Enthusiasm” better than I ever could. So, while I was “away” I actually got a lot of feedback and emails and even a few new patrons too. And we’re going to get right to that. But first, the elephant in the room. No, I’m not at Oshkosh. I actually did plan to go, even managed to get the week off, but this summer, for whatever reason, I felt the need to be home and getting things back on track more than ever. And I’m glad I did, because a lot actually transpired over this last week of July I was glad to be home for. Including making this Episode! Let's welcome our new Patrons: Scott Sutton and Christian!

Episode 92 | Languish | Rob Mark
I’ve been in a bit of a funk. Not really flying, not really participating in the industry, not really inspired to put it bluntly. And I know I’m not the only one. And it’s kinda funny, since by all counts, we’re actually coming out of this disaster time and getting the industry on the long road to recovery. Will it ever be the same. Well, probably not exactly, but who knows, maybe it’ll be better? But I finally started flying again on the regular. Every Saturday around noon you might find me in a Diamond Star somewhere over Southern California and it feels pretty good. But there were a few first flights back that felt more than a little uncomfortable and awkward. And I don’t like feeling that way in an airplane. Now I know, I know, this might be the last thing anybody wants to talk about ever again. Except maybe politics, that’s usually worse, and I usually make a point to steer clear of that as much as possible, but the conversation we have isn’t about that, although it may border dangerously close few times... It’s about what I call “getting it back.” Our lives, our inspiration, our mojo. Getting our groove back so that we can put this all behind us as quickly and healthily (I’m sure that’s a legitimate medical term) as possible. So, I hope you’ll stay listening, and let me know how you’re feeling as we come back to reality. - Get 10% off with code: delta Support: Buy me a coffee: Instagram: Twitter: Website: Music by: Cushy Make sure to use good equipment!

Episode 91 | Remote View Flight Check | Rob Mark
I think it was Bob Dylan who sang about the times, they are a changin’. And while I guess that’s always a little true, it seems like it’s especially appropriate now. And I hope it’s all good, because there are a few things that really do need a changin’ so that we can resume functionality in the industry. And particularly this is true anywhere there’s bureaucracy. Like how many times have you said something like. “Don’t we have a technology to just automate this?” And since the beginning of the pandemic, maybe you’ve said something similar like “can’t we just do this remotely?” Well, more and more, it’s looking like the answer is yes! Just about every meeting and collaboration can now be done from the comfort of your home over Zoom or Teams, and for the most part, that’s cool. That is, unless your kid pops in on your live broadcast, or you’ve accidentally left your favorite sex toy on the shelf right behind you... But what about in aviation? We don’t pilot passengers remotely. Yet at least. We can, but do t really do remote tower operations. However you could argue that just about all radar stuff is remote though. But of course, not from home. But there is one thing we just may be able to do remotely now, but the jury is still out on whether or not it’s a great idea… Rob and I want to hear from you about this! Make sure to send in your feedback so that we can discuss it in a future Episode. GOOOOOOOD DAY!

Episode 90 | Dave English | Famous Aviation Quotations
As I look back on my flying career, I often think about some of the quotes I’ve heard along the way. Aviate, Navigate, Commumnicate, Monitor the freq. before you speak. Speed is life, altitude is insurance. And, I’ll never not be able to hear Martha King say “Please, stay out of the trees.” But, there’s one quote that seems to keep coming up time and time again. It’s written on the walls of flight schools, seen on plaques and awards, quoted in films, and used in just about every piece of learn to fly marketing material I’ve ever seen. And that’s because it’s so beautiful. So expressive of the sentiment we all feel when aviation’s running through your veins, and spoken by one of the all time great artists, scientists, and thinkers of the last thousand years. Are you ready? “Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” - Leonardo DaVinci There’s just one problem… DaVinci never said that! - Get 10% off with code: delta Support: Buy me a coffee: Instagram: Twitter: Website: Music by: Damma Beatz Make sure to use good equipment!

Episode 89 | Listener Feedback | Boeing settlement
In the old school where print magazines were all we had, letters were pretty much how content creators (also before they were called that too) would interact with the readership. But now, I think it’s so cool that we have the ability to actually talk with the content creators we like, and one of my favorite parts of doing this podcast is talking with those of you that listen, and then come up with really good feedback and questions. And as we kiss good-bye they worst year on record in my lifetime, and start in to 202 with a healthy amount of cautions optimism, I can’t say that I’ll be changing the show fundamentally. But, if there are any resolution-style changes I’d like, it’d be to get you all on it more, be it through voice feedback, emails, or whatever. And to that end, I’ve got quite a bit of it today, questions, comments, a little something for everyone, so let’s get to it. Oh, and we’re going to talk about that little 2.5 Billion dollar payout Boeing owes too...

Episode 87 | Personal Wings | Rich Pickett
Have you ever met one of those people where, it seems like every sentence out of their mouth gives you déjà vu? It doesn’t happen very often, but maybe that’s why you remember... It happened to me last year at an MMOPA safety stand down. I walked in, sat down. And I started listening to the guy teaching the class (his name is Rich by the way). He talked about icing encounters in Colorado and some other stuff you might find relevant next time you’re doing something you probably shouldn’t be in a meridian or an eclipse. But after the lecture ended he took us all out to lunch at the fantastic Mexican restaurant Cosa Machado if you’ve ever been to Montgomery Field (KMYF). He started talking about the things he done, the places he had been, crazy stuff actually. I think it started with flying in airplane in the thunderstorms or something. But then we got to becoming a police officer in Colorado and not just anywhere Colorado; Telluride Colorado (KTEX). The very same place I grew up. The same place I did a radio show with my dad. And, guess we talked about next. Broadcasting. Then, Working a more or less first job throwing bags for continental airlines at Stapleton, Which they also let me do back at Telluride as my first aviation job. I mean. CO Express, but hey, who’s counting. And plus, the flights went to Denver anyway. So there. But I can’t help feeling that so many things that I did, it’s like he had done the same thing only a few decades earlier. Something I’ve said, or at least implied, is that aviation can be just so many different things to so many different people. And I’m not here to judge. Quite the opposite, I’m happy for you however you choose to integrate it into your daily life. And while I wouldn’t change much about my journey, there’s a little part of me that has a dream about how, in a different time and place, maybe I’d have taken a different path. One where I stuck with broadcasting. Or whatever, and took aviation into my life in a different way. That’s probably why I gel with our guest today so well. Because that’s exactly what he did! - Get 10% off with code: delta Support: Buy me a coffee: Instagram: Twitter: Website: Music by: Damma Beatz Make sure to use good equipment!

Episode 84 | Future Aviation Aerospace Workforce | Kathryn Creedy
If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll probably remember at least one aviation downturn. Maybe two or three. In fact, we could probably figure out how long you’ve been in the industry, in decades, based on how many you’ve seen. This’ll be my third... In case you haven’t noticed, we’re in one again. Sure, it looks a lot different than downturns of years passed. But the big question, right after you figure out what the heck you’re going to do while things are down, is how you’re going to position yourself for the upswing. And yes, as bleak as things often look, there WILL be an upside. We just never exactly know when. I don’t have a crystal ball. Nobody does. Not even the old guy with the expensive suit you saw on CNBC. I mean, sure, he sounds like he does, but he doesn’t. The one thing that guy does have though, is some pretty good market research to go off of. But that takes armies of people who make it their business to collect and analyze data, and we don’t often get to see it raw, and even if we did, I’m not sure we’d really know how to interpret it. But… What if there was a really user friendly place to get industry news that covers things like: ATC, dispatch, data analysis, aircraft and interior design and engineering, IT and cybersecurity. And what about if the source made a solid effort to connect different parts of industry to each other in ways not covered before. And what if this source made an effort to inform you about specific actionable things that can be done at all levels to raise the visibility of the opportunities existing in aviation and aerospace for well-paid, challenging and critical jobs? Jobs that can give Silicon Valley and others a run for their money any day. Cool stuff that kids might want to do like: unmanned systems, advanced air mobility, aviation innovation incubators, commercial space, environmental issues, changing powerplant technology and connected aircraft. I’d read it. And I’d definitely do a podcast about it too… So here it is! -Brandon - Get 10% off with code: delta Support: Buy me a coffee: Instagram: Twitter: Website: Music by: Danijel Zambo Make sure to use good equipment!

Episode 83 | The Best In The West | Pam KTKI
Remember back probably in middle school when we learned all about Venn diagrams? You know, the circles. Each one represents a characteristic, and where they overlap, you have the thing that the marketing department is probably looking for… But when it comes to aviation one that always keeps coming up is men, women, and pilots. Not all men are pilots, not all pilots are men. Not all women are pilots, not all pilots are women, and where the overlap part comes in, there’s the individuals who are women and pilots. Stay with me, I’m going somewhere with this. There’s another Venn diagram that keeps coming up too. And it’s where the pilot circle overlaps with the controller circle. There’s this tiny little sliver where I find myself, along with a few others who play both sides of the mic. It’s cozy in here, and if you want to hang out, you’ll find Me, Clay Taylor from Airways Magazine, RH and AG from Opposing Bases, and maybe a few others. And the little sliver gets reeeeealy small when you talk about controllers who are CURRENT pilots. Not “were” or “was in a different life.” Today’s guest is pretty noteworthy as she’s got a little of every circle I’ve mentioned thus far. And is generally known as one of the best controllers around. Or was at least, and we’ll get to that. But she comes from a tower pretty similar to mine, and form what I’ve heard, knows how to rock a mic on either side. This is gonna be a fun day… Welcome to Podcasting on a Plane, I’m Brandon Gonzales, Tower Controller, CFI, Former Aircraft salesman, Aviation podcaster, and connoisseur of the Venn diagram… broadcasting as always from the Tower at mythical, yet oh so real West Coast Delta, and this is the podcast where we talk about the backstories behind all that we do in air world. Sometimes on the flying side, sometimes on the ATC side, and sometimes both. And from what your feedback tells me, those are the favorites, so be glad you listened today because that’s what’s about to happen. Now I mentioned Venn diagrams earlier. And we found ourselves in a really tiny overlap, but I’ve got just one more circle to add. What about not only controllers who are pilots, but those who actually CARE. People who don’t just hold certificates and go to work, but people who go to work because it’s their purpose. It isn’t just a job. In this little sliver of the Venn diagram, everybody knows each others’ names. So today, let me introduce you to Pam… - Get 10% off with code: delta Support: Buy me a coffee: Instagram: Twitter: Website: Music by: Damma Beatz Make sure to use good equipment!

Episode 81 | Has "Narrative" ruined Journalism? Or was it Twitter? | Rob Mark
What’s Narrative? No, honestly what is it. And why the heck are we talking about it on an aviation podcast?! Well, because I’m repurposing content from another thing I do. No, I’m kidding… Sort of. Narrative affects everything we hear. It’s that thing news outlets have that affects how they’re going to spin a story. And if you ask me, it’s a bummer that has to be a thing at all. Today’s a really cool episode, because we’re stepping a little outside the usual mold (as if there was one here), and pulling back the curtain a little bit. And for those in the business of making content, it’s something we struggle with sometimes. Now, this is an aviation podcast, one in which I often promise the back story in all that we do in air world, and since aviation journalism is how we spread the word about pretty much all that happens in it, I figured an Episode like this is fair game. If you’re new here, this one’s a little different. Regular listeners will know that I’m an administrator at the , along with many notable aviation writers you’ve actually heard of, and if you’re curious, make sure to get on Facebook and request to be in the group too. Oh, and don’t forget to go back and listen to Episode 52 for more about us. The group is led by Rob Mark, and no matter where you fall in the spectrum of civil aviation, you’ll probably be familiar with his work. He’s the Senior Editor at FLYING Magazine and the publisher of , long time Airplane Geek over at the Airplane Geeks Podcast, Graduate of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern, but most importantly of all, frequent guest on this show…. Ok maybe that’s not the most important part, but he’s back today because we really wanted to tackle a topic that’s an underlying part of just about everything we read, hear, and watch in the news, aviation or not: Narrative It’s a simple word, and it’s defined by (): a representation of a particular situation or process in such a way as to reflect or conform to an overarching set of aims or values. But the implications of it are huge. It’s part of the entire brand of a news outlet. And, if you ask me, or anybody really, it often gets taken too far. To the point that things are straight up twisted to make a story pan out a certain way. And then twisted a little further to get more re-tweets… - Get 10% off with code: delta Support: Buy me a coffee: Instagram: Twitter: Website: Music by: Danijel Zambo Make sure to use good equipment!

Episode 80 | Flying single pilot from India with Deanna Wallace
In flying, I think everybody more or less falls into two camps. Camp 1: Those that are there for adventure, and Camp 2: those who aren’t. Some people crave a little uncertainty, and the others want to use their OCD to avoid anything of the sort. Today’s guest, quote/unquote “Baller Pilot” Deanna Wallace is really going to put the World In Air World, because she’s seen a great deal of it, for better or for worse, from the best vantage point there is... a sketchy turboprop you just picked up that needs to get somewhere fast. Ok, so maybe it’s not the absolute best way to see the world, but that’s just my Camp 2 narrative talking. Deanna, well, she lives firmly in camp one, and I think that’s pretty cool, and by the end of today, I think you will too. Especially after she shares one of the best “how I got into flying” stories I’ve heard. And it’s shares more than a little bit with my own.

Episode 79 | Deception through Omission with Rob Mark (FLYING and JetWhine)
It’s been almost a year and a half since the Atlas crash, and that’s about how long it takes the NTSB to complete a formal investigation, and to issue a Probable Cause statement. And boy did they ever… The idea that a 767 could just fall out of the sky vertically, with no warning, was weird enough to suggest that this wouldn’t be a typical case, but now that the truth is out, the weirdness doesn’t disappoint. There’s a great article out there from Rob Mark, at FLYING Magazine, and there’s a link in the show notes, just in case you missed it. But today Rob’s here, in the flesh, and we have a pretty cool talk for you. And it’s about more than just what happened, it’s about why it happened, and whether or not we can even prevent something like this from happening in the future. And I sure hope we can. But as you’ll hear, it’ll take a lot more than just a few tweaks in the training Department… From Rob's Article: The NTSB issued six new safety recommendations following the investigation into the Atlas Air 3591 accident. The NTSB said the FAA should issue a safety alert for all Boeing 757/767 operators warning of the possibility of an inadvertent go-around activation when the pilot flying is in close proximity to the speed brake handle. The NTSB also wants to see the vulnerabilities of the current pilot record system that would include the results of all pilot training once it begins, regardless of the result and that the system be easily searchable by pilot certificate number. The Board reiterated its call for advanced cockpit video recorder systems for Part 121/135 aircraft. On the human side of the equation, the NTSB reiterated to the FAA the urgent need to “require all Part 121 and 135 air carriers to obtain any notices of disapproval for flight checks for certificates and ratings for all pilot applicants and evaluate this information before making a hiring decision. To also require Part 121, 135, and 91K operators to document and retain electronic and/or paper records of pilot training and checking events in sufficient detail so the the carrier and its principal operations inspector can fully assess a pilot’s entire training performance. The Board also wants to see all training records provided to hiring employers as required under the PRIA and to develop a method of verifying the accuracy of those training records.” I’m sure you’ve got at least one opinion on something you’ve heard today.

Episode 78 | Pro training tips with Chad Fortenberry | Part 2
Chad and I talked for so long, that when I looked down at the recording at the end, it showed nearly two hours. And I think that’s the best part of aviation. And podcasting too, actually. The idea that we can get all into a bunch of different topics, and go with it for that long, and not only have a great time, but share a ton of useful information too. I’m sure you’ve got at least one opinion on something you’ve heard today.

Episode 76 | Training in a time of COVID | Part 2 | Owner Operator Recurrent
What if you’re living the dream? Maybe you’ve got a plane of your own. Not much risk in that right? Or is there? For those outside the industry, there’s always stuff getting made up about what goes on in private jets, and who knows, maybe some of it’s true, but for you all listening, we all know the reality is that having your own plane isn’t so much about frivolous luxury, but more about business. And enjoyment too of course, but in a time like this, it could also be about safety above all else. Because you’ve got the ability to get around, without much contact with the outside world. But sometimes, and even with your own plane, you’re still going to be out in the world a bit. And for those who fly things that burn kerosene, yes even just for personal use, you’re going to have to go through recurrent training each year. And chances are, that’s in a sim center. Which is full of people. in close proximity... So, what’s it like? Well, luckily (for us at least), friends and show supporters Phil and Daniel just went through it. And they were happy to share their experience with what it was like to spend the week in Dallas. Something nobody really wants to do right about now.

Episode 72 | The Dilemma with Chris Dunn
On a short break at work, I was scrolling through instagram, and I saw a post that really struck a chord with me. It was by aeroprollc. Which is the company of a great fan of the show, whom you’ve heard more than once reading the post show disclaimer like a seasoned radio pro. And it’s no surprise, since he’s no stranger to broadcasting… His name is Chris Dunn, and he’s known as “The Flying Weatherman” from Gulf Shores Alabama. He’s got a unique perspective on things, and I’ve been looking for a good time to get him on the show. And this is it!

Episode 71 | Staying Home, with Dr. Eric Fine
Unpleasant as it is, that’s what we all need to be doing right now. Staying home. Social distancing, being careful. It’s the only way to slow and maybe even stop the spread of this terrible virus that it’s hard to predict how will affect a person. So, in these scary, never seen before times, we’re all forced to reality check ourselves in a way we’ve probably never had to do before. And as we stay home (that’s what you’re doing right??) I want to give you some legitimate ways to stay connected, to stay informed, and to protect yourself as an aviator. I’ve got a doctor here to give us some facts and answer some gray area questions about Coronavirus and flying.
