“The vast majority of the time (10 to 12 minutes of a 15 minute episode) of this podcast is spent advertising. The podcast contains multiple plugs for Patreon, the producer’s app, AOPA pilot protection insurance and an aviation headset. Only two to three minutes devoted to actual aviation...”Read full review »

As a CFI I’m always learning new things, new ideas to use in training my own students. Thank you Jason (and TFP team) for...”Read full review »

“Mostly an add heavy teaser for paid content, host comes across as arrogant as if his “finer” approach is superior to all others. Interesting topics handled in a boring self-important manner.”

Any loss of life due to an aircraft accident is tragic. But, the loss of an innocent life on the ground is exceptionally...”Read full review »

“As a pilot you should always be learning and I have learned a ton from this podcast! Highly recommended! This is for student pilots to flight instructors and ATP’s.. it’s a great resource. I also recommend his “Setting the Standard” Ebook as well as the Ground School app.”

“If NPR did a podcast about aviation, this is how it would sound. More instruction, less acoustic guitar.
