Are you ready to take off on a thrilling journey into the captivating world of aviation? Strap in as we demystify processes like reserving tail numbers with the FAA (yes, we have our own official one - 151 Whiskey Whiskey) and navigate the high-stakes communication between ATC and pilots. We promise an informative, engaging, and exciting conversation ranging from the trials of aviation life, to the nitty-gritty details of Bore Cycle's parts. Imagine trying to get flight following over Lake Michigan, and now imagine being told ATC is too busy to respond. That's a reality we explore, discussing the challenges of communication in high workload environments. Always prepared, we also talk about unconventional safety measures like life jackets and milk jugs as flotation devices, and the importance of a solid audio setup. After all, the last thing you need during an emergency is a microphone glitch. And speaking of emergencies, ever wondered what goes into handling an engine failure? From static brake checks to the use of the accelerator pump, we lay it all out. We also delve into the importance of honesty in admitting the cause of such a situation, and the precision needed with fuel selector valves. We wrap up with a little fun - sharing stories of our favorite drinks and basics of aviation math. A splash of Coke in rum anyone?
