“Gentlemen, I’m a near-checkride student pilot based at a Delta airport under the western shelves of the Big Apple Bravo. Once the proverbial “stick-wiggling” phase of my training gave way to mainly procedures, regulations, navigation and communication, I noticed that much like learning a language, there is no substitute for immersion. Since I can only fly at most a couple of days a week, OB has been an invaluable way for me to keep living in aviation world, hearing the locals speak the dialect, even when family and work demand my return to earth. It’s smoothed my training immensely, and helped my interaction with ATC. For both simple things like “what on earth is a ‘local’ controller” or more, shall we say, empathetic ones like “why am I still hurtling downwind in the pattern and about to run into this hill? I wonder if this trainee controller has forgotten I’m here”, OB has been terrific. Thanks for the podcast and all the best for the new year. I look forward to reporting my successful checkride very soon. -GFHD”

“As a new PPL, I can’t enumerate exactly how much I’ve learned from listening to this podcast. It’s made me a better pilot for sure.”

“One of my favorite aviation podcasts! After 30+ years as a GA IFR pilot these guys have given me more insight to the ATC system than I thought possible. Great work guys! Signed Kilo Delta”

“As an instrument rated private pilot, I’m always trying to improve my ATC communications. I look forward to future content. I think it would be interesting to hear about your pet peeve’s and things that make your job easier as it relates to ATC communication with us private pilots.”
