| 5 | VideoFaulty Approaches Episode 4: Crosswind Considerations (Small/iPhone Size) | UND CFIs Mike Lents and Anthony Bottini round off the last part of the four part series: "Faulty Approaches and Landings." This final episode discusses numerous hazards that can threaten an otherwise solid approach when a crosswind condition is present. Since most approaches and landings are executed during some kind of crosswind situation, it is advised that each pilot use this episode to review crosswind landing techniques to really hone their crosswind skills and hopefully avoid crosswind hazards such as touching down in a crab, the dreaded ground-loop and/or experiencing a wing rise after touchdown. We hope you've enjoyed this four part series. Let us know what you thought by sending our UND AeroCast staff an email at undaerocast@aero.und.edu and stay tuned for a bunch of future episodes. By the way, as usual, a huge thanks goes out this time to Timothy and Bret for sending us some truly stunning fan photos. Thanks fellas! | 7/8/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 13 | VideoFaulty Approaches Episode 1: Energy Management (HD Small) | As a recent addition to the FAA Airplane Flying Handbook, UND Aerospace has decided to tackle the Faulty Approach and Landing on this episode of the UND AeroCast. This episode is meant to shed some light on that grey area during many approaches when the pilot has to decide, based on the airplane's current state, if the approach can safely continue with minor corrections or if its time to call an unstable approach and go around. UND Aerospace CFI, Anthony Bottini uses an in-depth script written by UND CFI Mike Lents to outline various factors that could cause any approach to be considered Faulty. As the first episode in a four part series, the instruction will be geared towards faulty approach concepts that involve the pilot's Energy Management skills. As always the UND AeroCast staff would like to thank our latest Fan Photo contributor, Rachel Fish, for her photos of the UND Piper Cub with floats.

If you're a new student, use this episode as a guide during your flight training to aid in building your confidence in making safe approaches and landings and developing the experience to help decide when it is time to go around. For you seasoned pilots, maybe its time to brush up on some basic skills to keep you safe and, well, maybe impress your next group of passengers.

Customer Reviews
Excellent Idea!
I think that this will make a great supplement to training. If you can cover technical areas ranging from weak on stage/check rides to local area opeations to common misconceptions. Also general technical subjects and systems would be a great area to cover. I think that students and the general public alike could really get a lot out of these Podcasts. I also think that it is great to get UND aerospace out there as a cutting edge leader in aviation education and technology. This is a great way to show that we are up to date with what people are using for technology, research and study. I have seen students with the steep turn Podcast on both their computers and on their Ipods. I know many people are awating the next addition to the Aerocast series. Keep up the good work.
Finaly some better multimedia than Powerpoint
I've been waiting for this ever since I began my training. Though it may be aviation heresay to say it, the King Videos need an updated angle, UND does it well with these, I hope there are more to come.
This is pretty sweet
Very well done. Gives a great sense of what the aviation program and its courses are like. What a great and easily accessible form of education. Looking forward to the next podcast.
