I’m finally releasing a quick video covering how I record cockpit audio. This is my most frequently asked question. The video does not tell the whole story, so please visit the website at http://www.studentpilotcast.com and find the show notes for this episode for more information.

I’m back with video!  I’ve been sitting on this footage for almost two years now, so I’m very excited to get this one published.  In this episode I take you on a flight with me over Hana, Hawaii on Maui with Armin from Hang Gliding Maui.  Armin is a CFI, and took me for me first microlight ride, and it couldn’t have been in a better setting.

Here is Trent on his first single engine plane ride…and low and behold, he’s at the controls.  Trent may be a regular on the site going forward.  We’ll see.  Give him some encouragement, folks!
