Episode 079 | Deception through Omission with Rob Mark (FLYING and JetWhine)

It’s been almost a year and a half since the Atlas crash, and that’s about how long it takes the NTSB to complete a formal investigation, and to issue a Probable Cause statement. And boy did they ever…

The idea that a 767 could just fall out of the sky vertically, with no warning, was weird enough to suggest that this wouldn’t be a typical case, but now that the truth is out, the weirdness doesn’t disappoint.

There’s a great article out there from Rob Mark, at FLYING Magazine, and there’s a link in the show notes, just in case you missed it. But today Rob’s here, in the flesh, and we have a pretty cool talk for you. And it’s about more than just what happened, it’s about why it happened, and whether or not we can even prevent something like this from happening in the future.

And I sure hope we can. But as you’ll hear, it’ll take a lot more than just a few tweaks in the training Department…

From Rob's Article:

The NTSB issued six new safety recommendations following the investigation into the Atlas Air 3591 accident. The NTSB said the FAA should issue a safety alert for all Boeing 757/767 operators warning of the possibility of an inadvertent go-around activation when the pilot flying is in close proximity to the speed brake handle. The NTSB also wants to see the vulnerabilities of the current pilot record system that would include the results of all pilot training once it begins, regardless of the result and that the system be easily searchable by pilot certificate number. The Board reiterated its call for advanced cockpit video recorder systems for Part 121/135 aircraft.

On the human side of the equation, the NTSB reiterated to the FAA the urgent need to “require all Part 121 and 135 air carriers to obtain any notices of disapproval for flight checks for certificates and ratings for all pilot applicants and evaluate this information before making a hiring decision. To also require Part 121, 135, and 91K operators to document and retain electronic and/or paper records of pilot training and checking events in sufficient detail so the the carrier and its principal operations inspector can fully assess a pilot’s entire training performance. The Board also wants to see all training records provided to hiring employers as required under the PRIA and to develop a method of verifying the accuracy of those training records.”

I’m sure you’ve got at least one opinion on something you’ve heard today. So, If you want to weigh in on what Rob and I talked about, I can’t wait to hear from you, make sure to shoot me an email at Brandon@podcastingonaplane.com

GOOOOOOD DAY!

Episode 078 | Pro training tips with Chad Fortenberry | Part 2

Chad and I talked for so long, that when I looked down at the recording at the end, it showed nearly two hours. And I think that’s the best part of aviation. And podcasting too, actually. The idea that we can get all into a bunch of different topics, and go with it for that long, and not only have a great time, but share a ton of useful information too.

I’m sure you’ve got at least one opinion on something you’ve heard today. So, If you want to weigh in on what Chad and I talked about, I can’t wait to hear from you, make sure to shoot me an email at Brandon@podcastingonaplane.com

  1. Energy management

  2. Stabilized approaches are not optional

  3. How to think ahead of the airplane

  4. The 5 A’s

  5. The “Rule of 3” and how many ways you can use it

Episode 076 | Training in a time of COVID | Part 2 | Owner Operator Recurrent

What if you’re living the dream? Maybe you’ve got a plane of your own. Not much risk in that right? Or is there?

For those outside the industry, there’s always stuff getting made up about what goes on in private jets, and who knows, maybe some of it’s true, but for you all listening, we all know the reality is that having your own plane isn’t so much about frivolous luxury, but more about business. And enjoyment too of course, but in a time like this, it could also be about safety above all else. Because you’ve got the ability to get around, without much contact with the outside world.

But sometimes, and even with your own plane, you’re still going to be out in the world a bit. And for those who fly things that burn kerosene, yes even just for personal use, you’re going to have to go through recurrent training each year. And chances are, that’s in a sim center. Which is full of people.  in close proximity...

So, what’s it like?

Well, luckily (for us at least), friends and show supporters Phil and Daniel just went through it. And they were happy to share their experience with what it was like to spend the week in Dallas. Something nobody really wants to do right about now.

Episode 070 | Aviation Wellness with Lance Breger | Infinity Wellness Partners

So today’s all about wellness. For you, for me, for the next generation of aviators. Aviation is one of the most Alpha businesses out there. And why shouldn’t it be? There’s a lot at stake. But a lot of pilots. A lot of people, they sometimes think of wellness as some sort of weakness. As if taking a second to plan the viability of your very existence is anything other than a top priority. And I’m here to tell you that it’s NOT. Not at all…

Episode 069 | The IMC Club

The IMC Club’s purpose is to promote instrument flying, proficiency, and safety. The intent is to create a community of pilots willing to share information, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety, and build proficiency in instrument flying. IMC Club chapters offer monthly meetings in which pilots can network and share knowledge and experiences.

The chapter resources and scenarios are being produced and distributed as a new program by EAA IMC LLC (“EAA IMC”), an Experimental Aircraft Association Inc. subsidiary, under a license from IMC Club International Inc. This will provide resources for new and improved program offerings that will enhance and expand the impact of the IMC concept.

To provide continuity, support, direction, and programming, Radek is now the manager of flight proficiency with EAA IMC. Being part of the EAA family will provide the network, critical mass, and resources to take flight safety and proficiency to the next level.  EAA IMC Club is presented by Bose Corporation and supported by Jeppesen.

In the meetings, a scenario is given, nothing is artificial, the scenarios really happened! What would you do?

Episode 067 | If it ain't Boeing | Part 3

Welcome, back, Happy new year, 2020, it’s the beginning of a new year, a new decade, and hopefully the beginning of a new era for a certain aerospace company starting with a B.

I’m Brandon Gonzales, This is Podcasting on a Plane, and this is YOUR aviation audio magazine. We hit aviation from as many angles as possible, my favorite two angles are from the cockpit, and from the tower. And that’s because I’m an Air Traffic Tower Controller at a busy General Aviation Airport, but I’m also a pilot, specializing in high performance transition training and mentoring pilots into the complex world of our national airspace system. Or, put more simply, You call me if you’re a general aviation pilot and you want to level up your game both in the plane, and on the radios. On this Podcast, we share stories, news, and experiences that will help you love aviation even more.

But sometimes it’s a little hard. Like when you love something that seems to have lost its way. You want it to be great again, but the road to recovery is long, and arduous, and  as much as you want to help, there’s little you can really do to affect its outcome.

Yeah, we’re talking about Boeing again, and today I’ve compiled a few really good news articles about where things stand. And make sure to stay all the way to the end, because the final article is probably my favorite article of 2019 about anything, and It answers the one true question we’ve all been asking…

Episode 066 | East Coast Charlie, West Coast Delta | RH from Opposing Bases

Thanks to a joint letter to RH and I, written by Patron Kilo Lima, we get deep into “playing pilot” a little more than usual! Today’s show is a collaboration between POAP and Opposing Bases. Enjoy!
