Admiral Cloudberg writes fantastic articles about aviation accidents. Please go check out thier content.  Today's Episode is a narration of their article "Legacy of a Lie, The Crash of Atlas Air Flight 3591" I sincerely hope there isn’t another one of these events out there, lying silently in wait, and ready to bring down an airplane that’s full of a lot more than Amazon boxes… My apologies for the terrible voice acting in the middle...

I may not make a Podcast every week, or even every month... BUT when I do, I’d like to think that it’s chock-full of actionable content, or at least really entertaining stuff. But today it’s definitely the former. And it might actually change the way medicine works for you in Aviation FINALLY. Plus a new vocab word: VOLOSAN. Enjoy! -BG Go see if VOLOSAN direct primary care is right for you. PlaneEnglish ATC Simulator - Get 10% off with code: delta Support:...

David Moser from Cirrus is here to tell us all about their recent deal with United Aviate Academy.  I think you’re really going to like what David has to say and I know you’re going learn a few things about the Cirrus, I know I certainly did.  And the best part is the rest of the show is all about you all, and the plethora of wonderful feedback that I’ve had since the show came back on the air.

Well, it’s probably time to address the elephant in the room… It’s been since August 2021 that I’ve released a podcast Episode and yes, there’s a very good reason. And that’s what today’s show is. A bit of a comeback really, but mostly just an explanation of what happened and how I’ve dealt with it. And that’s not to be somber or negative. I’m genuinely happy to be back, and I want to thank everyone who has emailed and messaged me over the last six months or so, asking what’s up, and...

These last few months have really been something for me. I think the best way to describe it is as a total reset. All of the hard lessons learned over the last year and a half, plus all of the great stuff too, all put back together in a new package, and with that, the show’s finally back. And with a bang because Chad’s here, and I’ve got a great reading from one of my favorite magazines that sums up “Enthusiasm” better than I ever could. So, while I was “away” I actually got a lot of...

I’ve been in a bit of a funk. Not really flying, not really participating in the industry, not really inspired to put it bluntly. And I know I’m not the only one. And it’s kinda funny, since by all counts, we’re actually coming out of this disaster time and getting the industry on the long road to recovery. Will it ever be the same. Well, probably not exactly, but who knows, maybe it’ll be better? But I finally started flying again on the regular. Every Saturday around noon you might find me...

I think it was Bob Dylan who sang about the times, they are a changin’. And while I guess that’s always a little true, it seems like it’s especially appropriate now. And I hope it’s all good, because there are a few things that really do need a changin’ so that we can resume functionality in the industry. And particularly this is true anywhere there’s bureaucracy. Like how many times have you said something like. “Don’t we have a technology to just automate this?” And since the beginning of...

As I look back on my flying career, I often think about some of the quotes I’ve heard along the way. Aviate, Navigate, Commumnicate, Monitor the freq. before you speak. Speed is life, altitude is insurance. And, I’ll never not be able to hear Martha King say “Please, stay out of the trees.” But, there’s one quote that seems to keep coming up time and time again. It’s written on the walls of flight schools, seen on plaques and awards, quoted in films, and used in just about every piece of...

In the old school where print magazines were all we had, letters were pretty much how content creators (also before they were called that too) would interact with the readership. But now, I think it’s so cool that we have the ability to actually talk with the content creators we like, and one of my favorite parts of doing this podcast is talking with those of you that listen, and then come up with really good feedback and questions. And as we kiss good-bye they worst year on record in my...

Part 1 was such a hit, that I'm proud to bring you another Episode with Rich.  Straight up, what it's like to fall ill with COVID-19, nearly die in a coma, and recover to fly another day. A fascinating look at the reality of this horrible disease.

Have you ever met one of those people where, it seems like every sentence out of their mouth gives you déjà vu? It doesn’t happen very often, but maybe that’s why you remember... It happened to me last year at an MMOPA safety stand down. I walked in, sat down. And I started listening to the guy teaching the class (his name is Rich by the way). He talked about icing encounters in Colorado and some other stuff you might find relevant next time you’re doing something you probably shouldn’t be in...

A lot came together for this Episode... Special Thanks to Elliott Cox, Ron Horton, Daniel Switkin, Daniel Sternbergh, and Russ Irwin for sharing some wonderful stories and questions! I want to do more like this, so keep 'em coming! GOOOOOOD DAY! -BG P.S. The audiophiles among you may notice that I recorded this on an alternate recording setup, so it sounds a little different than normal. I'll be back to the usual one for Ep. 87.   PlaneEnglish ATC Simulator - Get 10% off with code:...

I was starting to think the day would never come. The FAA has (more or less) cleared the 737 MAX to fly again! ...But at what cost?  -BG Articles narrated in the Episode:  https://www.reuters.com/article/us-boeing-737max-faa/faa-chief-100-confident-of-737-max-safety-as-flights-to-resume-idUSKBN27Y1NI https://www.aerotime.aero/rytis.beresnevicius/26438-faa-un-grounds-the-boeing-737-max https://www.aerotime.aero/rytis.beresnevicius/26380-boeing-737-max-fleet ...

If you’ve been around for a while, you’ll probably remember at least one aviation downturn. Maybe two or three. In fact, we could probably figure out how long you’ve been in the industry, in decades, based on how many you’ve seen. This’ll be my third... In case you haven’t noticed, we’re in one again. Sure, it looks a lot different than downturns of years passed. But the big question, right after you figure out what the heck you’re going to do while things are down, is how you’re going to...

Remember back probably in middle school when we learned all about Venn diagrams? You know, the circles. Each one represents a characteristic, and where they overlap, you have the thing that the marketing department is probably looking for… But when it comes to aviation one that always keeps coming up is men, women, and pilots. Not all men are pilots, not all pilots are men. Not all women are pilots, not all pilots are women, and where the overlap part comes in, there’s the individuals who...

As the music promises, you know who’s here. The one, the only Chad Fortenberry, but with a twist! A few thoughtful listeners, all Patrons in this case, sent in some stuff, and instead of just hearing my thoughts, you get Chad’s too, and between the two of us, you might just get an answer! Special thanks to Glen Towler, Evan Schoo, Russ Irwin, and Brooks Dorroh for their questions and support of the show!   PlaneEnglish ATC Simulator - Get 10% off with code: "delta" ...

What’s Narrative? No, honestly what is it. And why the heck are we talking about it on an aviation podcast?! Well, because I’m repurposing content from another thing I do. No, I’m kidding… Sort of. Narrative affects everything we hear. It’s that thing news outlets have that affects how they’re going to spin a story. And if you ask me, it’s a bummer that has to be a thing at all. Today’s a really cool episode, because we’re stepping a little outside the usual mold (as if there was one here),...

In flying, I think everybody more or less falls into two camps. Camp 1: Those that are there for adventure, and Camp 2: those who aren’t.  Some people crave a little uncertainty, and the others want to use their OCD to avoid anything of the sort. Today’s guest, quote/unquote “Baller Pilot” Deanna Wallace is really going to put the World In Air World, because she’s seen a great deal of it, for better or for worse, from the best vantage point there is... a sketchy turboprop you just picked up...

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...

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...

It's always a treat to fly with your best friends and, today, you get to come along with Chad and I as we discuss A BUNCH of high level training topics. We were having such a great time, we recorded almost 2 hours of content, so I decided to break it up into two Episodes.  Topics discussed: Flying During COVID -  CAE experience Boeing MCAS talk. Comparison with Citation X and Challenger AOA systems Go around procedures / danger of not having it committed to memory ATIS Myths, ...
