Save the confirmation number, and save a copy of the report. From FAA website: “The Compliance Program represents a focus on using — where appropriate — non-enforcement methods, or “Compliance Actions.” A Compliance Action can be described as FAA’s non-enforcement methods for correcting unintentional deviations or noncompliance that arise from factors such as flawed systems and procedures, simple mistakes, lack of understanding, or diminished skills. A Compliance Action is not a legal adjudication, nor does it constitute a finding of violation.” • Information provided can be used in future investigations and legal proceedings by the FAA, but compliance is almost always the best option After Landing Checklist: Pick Of The Week: https://amzn.to/446pp13 He’s a former Blackhawk pilot just trying to put his past behind him—but when a plane goes missing, Luke Angel is the only one who can untangle the truth.

Runway Incursions, unstable approaches, and simple misjudgment during landing are the main reasons we need to go around, but are you ready to execute a go-around maneuver properly? In my over 25 years of instructing recreational, business, and airline pilots, I have noticed a consistent trend: we don’t perform discontinued approaches very well. In this episode, we discuss how and why you should go around. Additionally, we will give you tips and tricks to execute the go-around maneuver safely and properly.

If you like exciting action-packed airshows that give back to the local community you will love the Florida International Airshow in Punta Gorda Florida. Today I am speaking with Denise Dull, President of the airshow who has led a team to help grow into one of the best air shows in the United States. We will discuss the challenges and keys to success in creating, growing, and continuing the legacy of an airshow. UPDATE: In light of the significant impacts of Hurricane Milton and Hurricane Helene on the community, the organizers have decided to cancel the 43rd Annual Florida International Air Show. The dual hurricanes have caused widespread damage and disruption across the region, making it impractical to proceed with the event.

March 7 2023 a low-wing piper and a high-wing piper on floats collided killing a flight instructor and student pilot in both planes.

In today’s episode, we will discuss collision avoidance tips and tricks to prevent such a tragic accident from happening again.

It was after midnight and the lights of New York City could be seen from miles away as we flew over Republic Field on Long Island New York on our way to White Plains. I could make out the airport many miles away and the winds were calm. I caught myself saying “What could go wrong on this perfect night”. I wish I didn’t say that. In the flare to touchdown, I noticed things getting dark out of the corner of my eye. That is when I realized the time set for the lights had finished and I clicked the mic 7 times making the airport “come alive” again. This made me think about how infrequently many of us fly to non-towered fields and how we should review the procedures to know what to say and how to turn the lights on.

As a pilot who loves to fly, we try to protect our hobby through prudent planning, budgeting, and training. I often get asked questions about what to do when pulled over by the police to protect our pilot certificate. Should I take the sobriety test or not? To help me answer this question is Chris Pezalla from the Law Offices of Robert M. Strumor, LLC. Chris is an airline pilot and aviation attorney who has been a frequent guest on this and our sister podcast Aviation Careers Podcast. Before we begin a quick reminder that the new 2024 version of the scholarship guide has been published and is available by clicking on the scholarships guide on the right side of the screen at https://stuckmicavcast.com/ Cruise Flight: If I am pulled over and asked to take a sobriety test, what should I do? Be professional and truthful. Anything you say can end up in a police report. Always take the breathalyzer and blood tests. This advice is specific to pilots. Failing to get a BAC alcohol level recorded will cost you your medical certificate. Even if pleading guilty to the DUI, get a blood alcohol test. 14 C.F.R. § 61.15(e), which mandates that all Pilots, Flight Instructors, and Ground Instructors certified under FAR Part 61 to report any Motor Vehicle Action (MVA) related to drugs or alcohol to the FAA in writing within 60 calendar days. The 60-day period begins when your driver’s license is revoked. What is a roadside suspension? Can I wait until after my court case to file the 60-day report? (No) Considerations for Light Sport, BasicMed, and Class III medical. Reporting on your next (and all future medical applications).

Welcome to episode 301. One of my favorite aviators because of his passion for flying is Dean Showalter. Dean is an aviation educator, podcaster, and all round nice guy.
