  • 361 Multi-engine and MEI Checkride Mock Oral with Jason Blair + GA News

    361 Multi-engine and MEI Checkride Mock Oral with Jason Blair + GA News
    Dec 26 2024
    Max talks with Jason Blair, a DPE, about multi-engine ratings and training challenges. Jason explains that most pilots pursue multi-engine ratings as add-ons to their commercial certificates. He advises following an efficient training path: private single-engine, instrument rating, commercial single-engine, and finally, the multi-engine add-on. https://www.lightspeedaviation.com/product/zulu-3-anr-headset/?campaign=Zulu%203&ref=63 Challenges with multi-engine training include mechanical delays, as many trainers are older aircraft, and higher accident rates during instruction. Jason highlights the VMC demonstration as a critical yet risky maneuver that simulates engine failure. Pilots must maintain control and recover methodically by managing power and airspeed, avoiding loss of directional control. Performance considerations include accelerate-stop distance, single-engine ceilings, and reduced performance in high-density altitude environments. Underpowered twins, like the Twin Comanche, demand careful handling during single-engine operations. Jason also stresses the importance of multi-engine instructors (MEIs) understanding systems thoroughly, teaching methodically, and prioritizing safety. He advises MEIs to practice emergency procedures during maintenance opportunities and conduct training at safe altitudes. Jason’s Multi-Engine Oral Exam Guide serves as a valuable resource for pilots. He concludes with practical advice for pilots and instructors while sharing his contact details for further guidance.

  • 360 8 Flight Training Experiences to Make You a Better Pilot with Dr. Catherine Cavagnaro + GA News

    360 8 Flight Training Experiences to Make You a Better Pilot with Dr. Catherine Cavagnaro + GA News
    Dec 20 2024
    Max talks with Dr. Catherine Cavagnaro about the value of advanced flight training and aviation experiences. Catherine shares her family tradition of gifting adventures instead of physical items, often involving flights to places like Fredericksburg, Texas, or Ireland, blending fun, learning, and aviation. https://www.lightspeedaviation.com/product/zulu-3-anr-headset/?campaign=Zulu%203&ref=63 They discuss using flight training as a “gift to oneself,” encouraging pilots to pursue new ratings or specialized courses to improve skills. Catherine highlights the instrument rating for enhancing precision and multitasking, and the commercial rating for smoothing out flying and improving passenger comfort. She advocates for specialized training like spin training to build stall confidence, mountain flying for high-terrain safety, tailwheel training for better rudder control, and quick, rewarding ratings like seaplane flying. Catherine emphasizes the importance of real IFR training, which focuses on enroute and departure procedures rather than just approaches, helping pilots confidently use their aircraft for travel. Both also stress the need for advanced avionics training to master modern glass cockpits, improving safety and proficiency. The episode inspires pilots to embrace continuous learning, specialize in skills, and have fun while becoming safer, more capable aviators. Many of these experiences can count toward a flight review.

    359 Sleep Smarter, Fly Safer: A Pilot’s Guide to Rest with Dr. Quay Snyder + GA News
    Dec 13 2024
    Max talks with Dr. Quay Snyder, an expert in aerospace medicine, about the critical role of sleep and fatigue management, especially in aviation. Dr. Snyder delves into the structure of sleep, emphasizing the importance of REM sleep for emotional recovery and memory consolidation, and deep sleep for physical restoration. He provides practical advice, such as maintaining a cool, dark, and quiet sleep environment, avoiding heavy meals and screen exposure before bed, and adopting consistent pre-sleep routines. Writing down worries and using relaxation techniques like box breathing can further improve sleep quality. https://www.lightspeedaviation.com/product/zulu-3-anr-headset/?campaign=Zulu%203&ref=63 Caffeine and alcohol disrupt sleep cycles, and while melatonin supplements may help with circadian misalignment, they should be used cautiously. Dr. Snyder also discusses the accuracy of wearable sleep trackers and emerging fatigue-monitoring technologies. Concluding, Dr. Snyder highlights his work with the Aviation Medicine Advisory Service, advocating for integrating fitness-to-fly principles into aviation safety systems to enhance performance and safety.
