| 3 | CleanVideoPilotcast Vidcast #15 - Oshkosh 2010 - Ice Pilots | We know this is a bit old, but still good stuff. In fact, this video has been published on the web for some time...just not in the feed. Considering the news in the next paragraph below, we decided to publish it now. Besides, it's been a while for a Vidcast. At EAA Airventure 2010, Tiff and Bill caught up with Mikey McBryan from the Ice Pilots NWT Canadian TV show for a little goofing off...and an interview. More information about Ice Pilots NWT can be found on the show website: http://www.icepilots.com/ The great news is that National Geographic is now carrying the first season of this show in the US. You can find more information about that here: http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/series/ice-pilots/all/Overview We asked Mikey about this back in July and he said they were working on getting it to the US; looks like they finally succeeded. Certainly take a look at this show if you get a chance, it's pretty fun to watch...probably even for non aviation nuts...but we wouldn't know anything about that. This video was shot at EAA Airventure 2010 in Oshkosh, WI. We shot the interview, as described in the video, in one of Buffalo Airways' DC-3s. Enjoy. | 4/19/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanCFIcast #16 - A Tribue to Sparky Imeson on Mountain Flying | We have a special episode of the CFIcast for you today, but while we're glad to be bringing back the show and releasing this episode in particular, unfortunately it is on a somber note. For this episode, CFIs Rick, Bruce, and Tony are joined by mountain flying legend Sparky Imeson, author of several books on mountain flying and long considered one of the foremost experts in the field. Unfortunately, Sparky was killed in the crash of his Cessna 180 Skywagon near Townsend, Montana on March 17th, 2009. We are releasing this episode on the first anniversary of his crash both to honor his memory and to remind all aviators to remain vigilant on every single flight.

Then we move on to the real reason for the discussion, Oshkosh. Pilot Dan gives his impressions as the only one of the three who had not attended before this year. Everyone joins in to talk about all of the sites and sounds they experienced at the show. Three of the group flew into the Airventure, two from California, and they talked about their flights. This was the fourth long cross country that CFI Jason has flown, and it was done in the ZuluWorks DA-40. Pilot Kent had the shortest flight, flying his Cessna 182 from Cadillac, Michigan. For Pilot Ron, this was his first long cross country flight, and he flew it from California, in a Cessna 172. Kent introduces a recording, thanks to LiveATC.net, that shows how not to fly into Oshkosh. Back on the ground, the group gets back to talking about what they've seen at the show. There is a lengthy discussion of the new Very Light Jets and whether or not they're good for aviation. Moving on, Dan and Mike begin an examination of the pros and cons of the two DUAT online briefing services, losing their current contracts with the FAA. The conversation ends up coming back around to what exhibits the group thought were the most interesting. Mike informs us the FAA has made, and is making, improvements in the handling of medical certifications. A microphone is passed to Pilot William(Will), who flew into Oshkosh in a 1958 Cessna 310, and tells a bit about his fight in and some his favorite displays at the show.

There are a lot on non-standard procedures so you need to be ready. If you are not current and proficient in these procedures, you shouldn't attempt flying into Oshkosh. To prove the point, he mentions a pair of fatalities that occurred when an aircraft stalled on the base to final turn. Kent parked in the Cessna Base Camp, new this year, and is spending the week camping under the wing of his 182. Cessna announced their Light Sport Proof of Concept as well as a new Single Engine Proof of Concept, the NGP.

Pilot Dan has a friend at the Miami Herald, who just complete a 3 part series about fatalities in the air cargo industry. Before Pilot Ron joins us, Rick mentions his Fly In Fest' at Cadillac, Michigan. Pilot Kent will be attending to do some seaplane flying and possibly get some dual time in a P-51D Mustang. Surviving Oshkosh: Pilot Ron, a member of the Apple Air Force, joins us and we move on to a discussion of Oshkosh. Rick has written a series of columns, available from AVweb, on "Surviving Oshkosh." Pilot Kent has put together a simple flow chart for the Fisk arrival NOTAM. Rick identifies the biggest risk to flying into Oshkosh are planes going too slow on their final approach, forcing planes behind to go slower than they should, causing a stall. Pilot Dan asks for a walkthrough of the VFR approach, during the busiest arrival period. Read and understand the NOTAM! Make sure you can fly your airplane at the appropriate approach speed As you're approaching, listen to the ATIS and do not make any calls Arrive over the town of Ripon and set up on speed Get in line with the other aircraft and follow along the railroad tracks As you approach Fisk, listen on the appropriate frequency for the controllers At Fisk, you will be called by airplane color and type, given instructions on which runway to set up for, and given the next radio frequency Acknowledge the call by rocking your wings (Do not call!) Be aware, you will be flying a lower than normal patter altitude If landing on 36, you'll be on a left base and the controller will call you by color and type, and give you either 36L or 36R If landing on 9, make a gently right turn to 45 degrees, and you will be told to land on one of a series of colored dots If landing on 27, you'll be on a right downwind | 7/11/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanPilotcast #038 - 2006.06.29 | Hangar flying with Pilot Dan, Pilot Mike, and Pilot Kent, along with a special report from the Westfield International Airshow Pilot Kent is calling in from Ritzville, Washington. Feedback and Followups: We start off this week with Pilot Kent telling the harrowing story of his recent truck accident. Luckily, the only fatalities were the truck and his PowerBook. He's already replaced the PowerBook with a new MacBook Pro, with the help of Pilot Bill of the Apple Air Force. Apple couldn't help with the truck, though. Pilot Dan and Pilot Mike mention an NPR story about a 1956, in-air collision of two passenger planes, over the Grand Canyon, that was the impetus for todays nationwide ATC coverage. And lastly in this section, we give many thanks to Rinker Buck for allowing us to record and publish his reading from his book, "Flight of Passage", to the Oxford Flying Club. News and Interviews: Pilot Dan attended the Westfield International Airshow at Barnes Air National Guard Base, in Massachusetts, where the Blue Angels were performing. He explains a bit about how the Blue Angels Team is configured and how they coordinate maneuvers during the show. We also hear about a conversation he overheard about why the full Blue Angels team almost didn't make it to the show. From there, we move on to some interviews he was able to get with performing pilots. Bill Horrigan, Stearman pilot: Bill is a former airline pilot who now occasionally flies a Stearman at airshows. He gives us a bit of the history of his plane along with some of it's flying characteristics. Bill talks about how tough the Stearman is and some of the maintenance issues. We hear about what instrumentation is installed, it's range, and how to hold a chart in an open cockpit aircraft. Bill finishes up with a discussion of takeoff and landing distances and how some of it's characteristics could be modified. Jim Vocell, Chief Pilot for the American Airpower Museum, Farmingdale, NY: Jim was displaying a 1944 C-47, a derivative of the DC-3, the first really reliable transport plane, for both passengers and cargo. He gives us a history of this particular plane, and how the American Airpower Museum came to own it. We get a comprehensive overview of the flight characteristics, including takeoff and landing distances, useful load, engines and props, range, and fuel usage. Jim gives some tips to pilots who may want to fly into Republic Field, where the museum is located. <img width="100" height="75" border="1" style="float: right; margin-left: 5px;" title="Billy Segalla" alt="Billy Segalla | 6/26/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanPilotcast #036 - 2006.06.10 | Hangar flying with Pilot Kent and Pilot Mike from the 2006 Annual Gaston's Fly In. Pilot Dan is unable to join us. Hangar Flying: We've got a little different show for you, this week. The crew is doing their very first "live" Pilotcast from the Gaston's White River Resort, in Lakeview, Arkansas. They start out with a little bit of history about the resort and the fly in, including who started the event when it first occurred. Pilot Kent tells us why he was so determined to be at Gaston's on Saturday morning, and how flew in and landed at 11:30 Friday night. He also describes his aerobatic flight in an Extra 300, with CFI Chip Gibbons. Next we listen to a pilot roundtable, that includes Pilot Mike, Pilot Kent, CFI Dr. Bruce Chien, Pilot Lance Flynn, CFI Chip Gibbons, Pilot Steve See, Pilot Grant, Pilot Leslie, Pilot Spike Cutler, Pilot Kathryn, and Pilot Nick. To start things off, Pilot Lance retells the harrowing story of an engine failure while flying his Mooney from Atlanta, Georgia to Teterborough, New Jersey. Then there's a short discussion on some of the difficulties you can expect when landing on Gaston's 3200' grass runway. CFI Chip talks about how he got into aerobatic flying and how he got over the nausea he had when he first started. We hear a little about some of the different aircraft the flew in and CFI Chip give his reaction to learning that someone flew 20 hours cross-country in a Pitts. CFI Bruce describes the amazing mix of social activities that are going on, from a drive-in movie theater to an illicit card game. Pilot Steve, who acts as Gaston's unofficial air traffic controller, talks about his very unusual aircraft, an IAR-823. Everyone talks about why they keep coming back to the Gaston's Fly, and why the attendance grows every year. Pilot Grant and Pilot Leslie are husband and wife, and they tell about their experiences while training for their Private Pilots License at the same time. Pilot Spike has a little fun and show the "Gaston's International Airport Security" passes, he made. Pilot Katherine wins the award for the furthest distance traveled, coming from Anchorage, Alaska, to attend the fly in. The group talks about the wide variations in the condition of rental aircraft. Pilot Nick gives a quick description of bringing his new dog along from Albuquerque, New Mexico, and how you shouldn't make your cross country legs too long with a dog aboard. Lastly, Pilot Kent suggests that if you're not able to make it to Gaston's next year, put together a fly in of your own at a local airport.

CleanPilotcast #035 - 2006.06.1 | Special guest "CFI Terry" Lankford, aviation author, weather expert and retired FAA flight service briefer, returns to join the Hangar Flying with Pilot Dan and Pilot Mike. Pilot Kent is on the road and unable to join us. Hangar Flying: A while ago, we were contacted by Pilot Ron, who will be flying from California to Oshkosh, asking to get Terry back on the show to talk about long cross-country flights. Terry recently made a flight from California to Sun 'n Fun, in Florida, and details that trip for us. He starts out by telling us about the planning, including building in some "just in case" time, what charts and publications to carry, and what sorts of equipment you should have with you. We get tips on getting a long term weather outlook and using that forecast to plan your route and schedule. Then we hear about the actual trip, and some of the weather conditions he had to fight along the way. He also gives some tips on battling fatigue and choosing just what airports to land at. Terry gives some recommendations on what types of facilities you need to verify will be available at your destination. Pilot Mike gives an explanation of a "NOTAM Approach" that's typically used at larger fly-in events. In the followup hangar flying, they talk about how the trip was done entirely without the aid of GPS, and Terry describes some of the avionics he used in the early '70s. He talks about the reduction in the Flight Service workforce and how to use some of the commercial services to compensate for possible delays. With his tongue stuck firmly in his cheek, Terry explains that, "Controllers are people, too." They all have a lengthy discussion on the procedures that are used when departing a large fly-in event at the same time as all of the other attendees. We then hear a description of his return flight, including an interesting approach pattern he was ask to fly at Wichita Falls Airport. He also talks about some of the best places to cross the Rockies and some of the flying techniques needed for high altitudes. We finish up our hangar flying with a discussion on the risks of summer flying, with respect to weather. Terry gives some excellent tips on what to watch out for and ways to avoid getting into trouble. Thunderstorms, high density altitudes, and inversions/haze should all be carefully monitored. Pilot Mike also describes how some of the conditions that can cause a thunderstorm don't always show up on the weather monitors.

CleanPilotcast #032 - 2006.05.09 | Pilot Dan, Pilot Kent, and Pilot Mike host a CFI Roundtable discussion on "Learning to Fly" Roundtable: We're joined this episode by 3 CFIs CFI Ron "the Rev" CFI & AME Dr. Bruce Chien, M.D. CFI Joe, Pilot Mike's CFI The two most common questions are how much does it cost and how long does it take? CFI Joe: The time depends on how much to you put in to it and how you approach it and the cost is related to the time. CFI Bruce: Once taught a General Surgeon who passed his checkride after 19 sequential days of instruction at a cost today of about $5500. More typically, the cost would be about $7000. Potential students usually only listen to the low time and cost estimates Why is the percentage of students who actually complete the certification, so low? CFI Bruce: Some people just realize that flying is not for them. Sometimes it's the student, sometimes the CFI, and sometimes just the teaching technique CFI Joe: Agrees that flying is not for everyone, but also agrees that anyone can learn to fly. What should a student look for when selecting a CFI? CFI Joe: Recommends the first 4 to 6 hours of instruction be taken with 4 to 6 different CFIs. Realize that the first few hours of instruction will be almost identical across instructors, so use that time to learn the personality and teaching style of the instructor so you can choose someone who's compatible CFI Bruce: Also recommends flying with several instructors and use your gut feeling to choose the one who could be a mentor. There's a difference between instruction and education. Even an excellent student, though, can learn from a miserable teacher. CFI Ron: Come to it from the perspective that you are the customer, choosing a service provider. Look for compatibility first, but ask a lot of questions about who the person is, their background, their experience, their capabilities, how they do business, and previous students. You are hiring a person and need to make sure they fill your job requirements. Which is better, a full-time CFI building hours for an airline job, or a part-time CFI who just enjoys the job? CFI Bruce: The connection and relationship between the student candidate and the CFI is the most important. Some CFIs just seem to have an ability to easily make that connection. CFI Ron: Take a close look at the training environment. A new CFI who's working for a structured flight training school is much more desirable than one who is working independently. The less structured the training environment, the more important it is to have an experienced instructor. CFI Joe: The third option is a full-time CFI who has lots of experience but has no interest other than to stay a CFI. CFI Ron: Agrees that those CFIs are usually the best choice, but can be difficult to find. CFI Joe: Those CFIs are not necessarily the best choice, but are just another option. It all comes back to the match between the student and CFI being the most important ingredient. There are resources where you can check an instructors experience: Some CFIs have personal websites AOPA NAFI Chicago Flight Instructors Association CFI Bruc | 5/9/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

An update on Connecticut Senate Bill SB520 The bill has been sent back to committee, which usually means it has been killed Pilot Dan sent emails to local pilots, urging them to contact their Senator about it A portion of it ended up getting snuck in as part of the budget bill Ended up with an exemption from sales and usage tax on all parts and maintenance, but... No exemption on the sale of aircraft AOPA has scheduled their 2007 convention for Hartford, Connecticut, near the Brainard Airport Some local developers and politicians have their eye on the airport river-front property A group is organizing to make sure they don't have another Meigs Field incident An AOPA representative will be attending the first "Save Brainard Field" meeting, at the Chowder Pot restaurant Do you have to register as a pilot or register your aircraft with the state? Some Oregon pilots are upset because they're required to register with the state Wisconsin seems to be the most GA friendly state Home to the EAA $78 to register an aircraft for two years The state has a contract to keep a weather computer in every airport Pilots get free access to the Flight Brief website Illinois used to not charge use tax on aircraft sales between private parties The registration form seemed to want to trip you up on where the aircraft was purchased.

Hangar flying: Aviation fuel is $4.30 in Connecticut and $4.78 in the San Francisco Bay Area Pilot Kent got his Instrument Rating It was much more difficult than getting the Private License Required two checkrides after descending too far on an approach Instrument currency requires 6 approaches and 1 hold within 6 months Pilots should have their own personal currency requirements that are better than the minimums Got his ticket "wet" just a few days ago by returning from an impromptu fly-in under instrument conditions During his training, he found it both disconcerting and cool when flying an approach in actual IMC and not seeing the runway until descending through 100 feet Pilot Mike had real scare On his first flight after his planes annual, he had trouble maintaining lateral control while in the pattern Managed to get some control and got it back down on the ground in one piece Looks like it was just the rudder trim cranked too far over In a previous incident, he had a door pop open in flight Pilot Dan's club bought a 1966 Piper Cherokee 140 He finds it difficult to get used to the mechanical flap lever Also finds the overhead trim adjustment interesting Agrees with Kent that it's easier than a Cessna to control on the ground The sink rate is higher than a Cessna It has vortex generators on the wings to allow a higher AoA before stalling An update on Connecticut Senate Bill SB520 The plan was to remove the 6000 lb limit from the sales and usage tax Had unanimous consent from Transportation and Finance Committees The bill is sent off to be written up It ended up being written to place the sales and usage tax on all planes, instead of none Still haven't gotten a straight answer as to what happened and if it will be fixed In the news: X-15 Test Pilot Scott Crossfield went down in his Cessna 210 A mid-air collision in Alaska Feedback: Contact us by email at: pilotcast (AT) gmail.com Song: "Truck" by The Lascivious Biddies Music on the Pilotcast is from the Podshow Podsafe Music Network.

CleanPilotcast #029 - 2006.04.05 | Returning guest "A&P Tom" joins the Hangar Flying with Pilot Dan, Pilot Kent, and Pilot Mike to talk about purchasing an aircraft Some feedback and followups: For all you Connecticut pilots: The Presidential TFR is cancelled, but it didn't matter because it was snowing, anyway Tower controller at Hartford-Brainard Airport has been "refusing the option," to practicing pilots Senate Bill SB520 has made it out of the Finance Committee with a unanimous recommendation, and will probably pass the Legislature with a few modifications. The target date to take effect is July 1st. Pilot Dan and his Club bought a plane, but the sale will be completed before SB520 goes into effect so they will probably lose out on the tax advantages An AOPA Lobbyist is looking into the remote possibility that the bill will be retroactive Pilot Mike's plane is due for its annual It's up to you, as owner, to remember when scheduled maintenance is due Talking with A&P Tom: Tom's rates: $50/hour flat rate $350 for an annual inspection It may be worth a trip to Washington State for rates like those A short bio: Currently, an aircraft mechanic A Navy veteran Was an aircraft mechanic in the Navy, and still does work for them Aircraft mechanics liability insurance can be expensive Some airports will not allow uninsured mechanics to work on planes What should a pre-purchase inspection include? Talk to the potential buyer and see what homework they've already done Is the seller also the owner, or just an agent for the owner? Verify that AD's have, or have not, been complied with General mechanical checks, including avionics The internet makes it fairly simple to determine fair market value of an aircraft Time since last overhaul is not as important as the engines current condition Lycoming engines that are run regularly should not have an issue with corrosion Engine displacement upgrades are probably not worth doing until an overhaul Use of auto fuel should be determined on a model by model basis Auto fuel is cheaper than aviation fuel, but has it's own unique set of problems A potential buyer is suing a mechanic who recommended he not buy the plane Aircraft is an Aviat Husky, in Michigan The mechanic found a slew of problems during the pre-purchase inspection and told the buyer it just wasn't worth it The buyer worked out a deal, that he thought was fair, even though the plane had some problems and purchased it Gets a ferry permit and during a flight over Montana, he loses oil pressure and lands at a small airport On inspection, the oil sump and strainers are covered in metal shavings Ends up purchasing a new engine, but it doesn't fit the old mounts They find the airframe is so warped, the new mounts won't fit They called Tom and he recommends jacking the frame until the mounts fit so he can make the flight home Finally get it back together and finds out his ferry permit has expired The mechanic is unwilling to renew | 4/5/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanPilotcast #027 - 2006.03.09 | Special guest "Doctor Bruce" Chien talks about medicals and multi engines as he joins the hangar flying with Pilot Dan, Pilot Kent, and Pilot Mike. Introducing "Dr. Bruce" Chien, M.D.. Dr. Chien is an FAA certified Aviation Medical Examiner (AME) and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI) Dr. Chien serves as a member of the AOPA Medical Advisory Board. Dr. Chien is a volunteer pilot, board member, and the past chairman of Lifeline Pilots, the volunteer pilots association serving the Midwestern U.S. Kent just got his second class medical. He's going for a commercial rating. You don't need a second class unless your going to exercise the privileges. Due to the oppressive workload, there has a been a change of policy at the FAA Medical Certification branch in Oklahoma City. They will no longer review medical records unless they accompany an application for medical certification. This change means you need to consult with an experienced AME before applying now more than ever. Because there may not be a second chance, the AME has to give any chance to talk to OKC the highest priority, which is a huge burden on the AME's practice.

The part 121, commercial and airline pilots, "the first class guys" don't need as much help with medical certification because they have resources, do the research, and come in prepared. It's the "third class guys" who tend to have complicated medical issues. If need to obtain or renew a special issuance medical certification. Have your information ready BEFORE you visit the AME. Gather the information specified in the special issuance letter 90 days before your certificate expires. So you can make this date, Make the appointment(s) with your doctor 120 days before. Put your name and pilot certificate number on every page of your documents. Send the documents to OKC via Certified Mail with return receipt. It is good to let OKC you are "interested." Call OKC in about 6 weeks and politely and patiently inquire. If you don't call your file may move DOWN in the queue! ALWAYS tell the truth, and the whole truth. You DO NOT want be caught in a lie. You can get some help from resources like the AOPA medical desk. If you decide against applying or are advised not to apply for medical certification you should work to qualify for Sport Pilot. Ask your personal doctor(s) for an opinion on whether you are qualified to fly. If you have no information that you are otherwise not qualified you are legal to fly Sport Pilot. If you think have an issue call your AME for advice. Don't give up before you give it a try.

Thanks to AOPA ePilot Flight Training Edition for the mention of the Pilotcast . The Pilotcast was mentioned along with Jason Miller's The Finer Points in the Volume 6, Issue 2 January 13, 2006 AOPA ePilot Flight Training Edition. AOPA members can get a copy of the January 13 issue on the AOPA Flight Training site. http://www.aopa.org/members/files/pilot/epilot/ft/2006/060113epilot.html Thanks to the Pilotcast's "Apple Army" http://store.apple.com The amazing technology used in producing the Pilotcast Responses to emails to the Pilotcast: "Pilot Peter" in Germany tells us there is no Czechoslovakia and besides they've got a long history of making great planes. If you email us we might invite you to join. Shoutout to Pilot Xavier from France, now in the U.K. "Pilot M.D.": Does the Hudson River freeze over? Yes...and the Coast Guard is not always nearby to lend a hand. The NYPD patrols the river. "Pilot Ian" from Germany wants to know about aviation fuel and mogas conversions. Flying in Germany? "Pilot Peter": Germany will have a 30nm TFR over The World Cup. "Pilot Russ": Wants to know about homebuilts. Coming topics: aircraft ownership, weather, the Civil Air Patrol. "CFI Joe" has follow up comments on "We have met the enemy and he is us." The Cleveland, Ohio GADO had hand out cards that were not exactly well received. How a CFI can handle the high expectations of problem students. Kent's report on flying with glass cockpits. Flying from Albert Whitted field, which was threatened like Meigs. At first you have information overload. Graphic engine monitor. Manufacturers of glass panels: Garmin http://www.garmin.com/products/g1000/ Avidyne http://www.avidyne.com Sagem http://www.sagemavionics.com/Products/Displays/ Kent likes the Garmin G1000 The Avidyne looks dated. Using the panel vs. "steam gauges." The steam gauges are not placed well. The high resolution makes any change on the AI look large. Critical speeds are marked on the "tape" but are not placed intuitively. Traffic display was very useful. The engine display. It was nice having an engine analyzer for tasks like leaning. Data like winds aloft is always displayed. Avidyne vs. Garmin. Avidyne is self contained. Garmin has remote modules. The Sagem is scheduled to be installed in the Seawind. You get a choice of Garmin or Avidyne panels in Diamond and Columbia aircraft. Kent's pictures of his Florida flight in the G1000 equipped 172 <table cellpadd | 1/21/06 | Free | View In iTunes |

CleanPilotcast #021 - 2006.01.12 | Special guest "Pilot Rick" Durden, host of "The Pilot's Lounge" column on AVweb.com, joins the Hangar Flying with Pilot Dan, Pilot Kent, and Pilot Mike. Rick's "The Pilot Lounge" column on AVweb.com: http://avweb.com/news/columns/182708-1.html Rick's latest column: "Amazing! There are TFRs that Make Sense!" TFRs have always been in place over disaster areas. Rick talked to the official in charge of the Hurricane Katrina TFR The officials in charge of the TFRs for forest fires were put in charge of those for hurricane relief. G.A. Pilots CAN get access to the area to lend a hand in relief. Just read the NOTAM for the contact. Were there a lot TFR by busts by pilots before 9/11? Rick's bio. He has CFI and ATP ratings and is an aviation lawyer. Rick was a member of a Flight Explorer post sponsored by a Beech dealer. He was a crop duster...until his father found out! The dangers of crop dusting, He was an an airport kid until he discovered... Do commercial students have a future? It is a financial hardship. Issues in Aviation Insurance: Are insurance rates out of control? How and why the aviation insurance industry changed. Many insurers did not make money most years in the late 1980's and the 90s. Insurers lost money when the stock market crashed. Does incorporating the aircraft ownership help protect the pilot/owner insured? Watch the sub-limits. Owners and pilots should have "smooth" coverage. Pilots are not protected unless they are a named insured. Renters are not safe under the FBO's insurance policy. In subrogation, the FBO's insurance company may come after the pilot. How about flying clubs? Check to see if you still need renter's insurance. Work with your broker to let the insurance company know your true risk factor. Get recurrent training every 6 months! It is the cheapest insurance you can buy. Rick's take on "We have met the enemy and he is us." "The instructor's obligation." Dealing with problem pilots. How people rate their own competence. How they react to criticism of their skills Non-instructors should get someone else, like an instructor, to step when concerned about a "problem pilot." There is new plan for Aviation Safety Counselors. Pilot decision making when things go wrong. Landing on a taxiway? Off-airport landings. Make the decision to take the safe out and least you'll be alive to answer for the consequences. "A 709 ride is painless." "Do something to get people down safely." "We can imagine getting into trouble. We can't imagine getting dead." How to handle a 709 ride Catch-22. Renting a tailwheel plane. Flying in a ski plane or seaplane. Rick is throwing a "Super Cub on skis" party at KCAD in Cadillac, Mi. Landing on frozen lakes. Landing in snow in flat light. How to tell if the ice is thick enough. Can you land anywhere?

CleanPilotcast #005 Special - 2005.09.12 | FAA Medical forum titled "What Can I Do If I Lose My Medical Certificate" by Dr. Warren Silberman, D.O. MPH. Recorded July 30, 2005 at EAA in Oshkosh, WI. FAA Medical Special: Dr. Siberman starts off the forum by explaining the process of medical certification for the new Sport Pilot license. There has been a lot of confusion with this, and the Dr. tries to clear it up. He then moves on to the main topic, how to handle a lost or denied medical certificate. He has several suggestions, like learning as much as you can about your condition, checking up on your AME, and proper management of the waiver packet. if you received a waiver letter from the FAA, make sure you follow the directions explicitly, and return all of the information requested. The Dr. stresses that there are certain conditions an AME can still issue a medical certificate for, if you have the proper documentation, but some AME's are not aware of this. He also lists 20 conditions that an AME can issue a certificate for, after first being deferred, if you provide the information listed in the FAA waiver letter. Dr. Silberman then explains how a waiver can affect the time period a normal medical certificate is issued for. The forum is then opened up to questions from the audience. The Dr. finishes up by answering questions about depression and associated medications, prostate cancer and surgery, ADD/ADHD, various eye conditions, cardiology stress tests, and unapproved medications.

Customer Reviews
Wonderful Show!!
I just started my pilot training a couple of month ago and found the BEST podcast on flying. Three GA buffs discuss everything about GA Current Events. If you're a pilot, this is a must-subscribe podcast!
Great Podcast!!
Never missed an episode and never will. Its better than all the other aviation podcasts!
Pilotcast makes me "one of the guys"!
This podcast really does as advertised, it make you feel like you are sitting in a hangar shootin' the bull about general aviation. I'm a student pilot and have really learned a great deal from listening to these guys. They have great guests that know their aviation and the hosts themselves have a lot to say about current events and history in aviation. Bravo Zulu Guys!
