Episode 6: John Bartels & QF30 | Qantas Flight 30 (QF30) was a Qantas Boeing 747-438 (construction number 25067 registered in Australia as VH-OJK). QF30 was a scheduled flight from London to Melbourne with a stopover in Hong Kong on 25 July 2008. The flight was interrupted when an oxygen tank exploded causing a fuselage rupture just forward of the starboard wing root. There were no injuries and the plane made an emergency (rapid) descent and diverted into Manilla (Philippines). [audio:http://www.flightpodcast.com/podpress_trac/web/380/0/flight-podcast-episode-6-john-bartels.mp3] In this episode of Flight Podcast, we talk to the commander of that flight, Captain John Bartels. We talk to Neville Blyth that, at the time of the incident, was the investigator in charge of the occurrence. We also talk to a first class passenger, Mark Strachan. Mark was travelling with his wife and daughter and shares his unique experience.

In the interests of compiling a feature that would serve as a reference for pilots and non-pilots, it was important for us to include a mix of material that addressed key issues relating to air safety. You'll be happy to know that our discussions with Dick Rutan has been edited to about one hour. Extras There is a small amount of audio we've included in 'extras' that makes information available that was removed from the release program. They're included at the bottom of this page. ATSB Report You may download the ATSB final report here.

Episode 4: Bo Corby & NWA Flight 41 into Tehran | On June 19, 2005 at 0435 in the morning Tehran local time, Northwest Airlines Flight 41 made an emergency landing at the Meherabad International Airport in Tehran, Iran, the first American air carrier to land in Iran in 26 years. Iran is considered to be a hostile country by the US Government and relations between the two countries are poor. NWA Flight 41 was operated with a DC-10 EER aircraft, Ship No. 1243, from Bombay to Amsterdam on June 19, 2005. After a climb through moderate turbulence, he flight was being operated under normal conditions at FL320, at night, in VMC conditions, with smooth air, and no extenuating weather or mechanical conditions. The flight was southeast of Dobas intersection on airway UL124 at approximately 2240z. The Captain noticed a momentary illumination of the forward Master Warning light. All cockpit indications were confirmed to be normal. After several further momentary illuminations it was determined that the nature of the Master Warning light illumination was the Aft Cargo Fire-Warning Indicator. [audio:http://www.flightpodcast.com/podpress_trac/web/278/0/flight-podcast-episode-4-bo-corby.mp3] The flight diverted to Tehran, the captial of Iran due to an aft cargo fire warning. The resulting maintenance issues were resolved, and operational requirements were addressed on the ground in Tehran, the flight departed and continued safely to Amsterdam. Captain Bo Corby tells the story of Flight 41 in detail. For that reason, and as a matter of making a permanent record to aviation safety, we have not edited that part of the audio. It is a magnificent example of teamwork, communication and resolve - despite NWA operations telling the crew that "they were on their own". The incident woke up the President. It was a matter of interest to the FBI, and it is remembered as an incident of national interest. #160; #160;Bo Corby #38; NWA Flight 41 into Tehran: Play Now #124; Play in Popup #124; Download You can download directly from this link (right click and "save as") or scroll to the bottom of the page.

Episode 2: Andy Thorley, Kirsty Ferguson, Mary Kirby & Chris Williams | Show Notes Thanks for listening! In between the schedules of four international airline rosters, the production of enormous amounts of video (including the production of an Australian TV program) and lots of recording, we let number two slip a little. Number three, titled Janine Shepherd, should follow very shortly. We've recorded some audio with some incredible personalities and we look forward to bringing their stories to you. [audio:http://www.flightpodcast.com/podpress_trac/web/184/0/flight-podcast-episode-2.mp3] Episode 2 Andrew Thorley Almost 10 years ago to the day, Andrew Thorley was ferrying a Lightwing 'sport' ultralight from Ballina (on the far north coast of NSW) to the Oaks west of Sydney. There were a number of circumstances that found Andy over the suburbs of Sydney with low fuel... at night. Andy suffered fuel starvation and was forced to make a landing in a suburban soccer field. This is the first time Andy has spoken of the incident. Andy is quite candid with the mistakes he made for the betterment of aviation safety. Ken, Marty and Adam finish up with a 10-minute chat with regard to some of the specifics of the incident. This is no doubt a conversation we'll have to re-visit in the future. Below are some images of the field that Andy landed in. If you want access to the first interview we recorded, please sign up the mailing list and we'll advise you when we make that available. The first recording was nearly two hours in length and areas were covered in quite a lot of depth so, sadly, was unsuitable for inclusion. Kirsty Ferguson Kirsty is recognised worldwide as one of the leading interview coaches. We commence the discussion with Adam talking to Kirsty about transfers internally in an organisation (upgrades, lateral transfers etc) and move onto some of the more specifics of the behavioural interview process. Kirsty will be a regular on the program. Mary Kirby Mary Kirby (best known as Runway Girl) is a senior editor at Flight International and aviation blogger at FlightGlobal.com with a focus on in-flight entertainment, connectivity, regional aircraft programs and aircraft interiors. Mary will talk to us regularly about both the passenger experience and regional airline news. Chris Williams Chris Williams is the director and technical lead at Command Software Pty Ltd. Command Software are best known for the popular flight planning software, Command Flight Planner. We have a 5-minute chat to Chris about the future of the Australian product. We have a copy of Command Flight Planner to give away to the value of $400. Follow us on Faceboook or Twitter to be advised of details. If you're not an Australian listener you may want to skip over this brief chat.

Episode 1: Eric Moody | In our first episode we talk to Eric Moody. In 1982, Eric was the Captain of a British Airways 747 flight that had all four engines fail after it encountered volcanic ash. Rather than address issues that are already a matter of public record, we probed Eric for his views on training, crew resource management and the broader industry. Eric is an incredible man whose (controversial) leadership and command skills defined the routine nature of his flying either side of Speedbird 9’er.Episode 1: Eric Moody is a post from: Flight Podcast | 7/15/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Customer Reviews
Mechanic and Pilot
Five Stars for sure. I never write reviews. In this case, I must make an acception. The preparation for these interviews is astounding. This is a very serious and thoroughly professional endeavor. I highly recommend it.
