  • 345 Cessna 182 Prop Strike: Interview and Analysis using Garmin G3X data and FlySto.net
    Aug 15 2024
    Max interviews listener Jim about a prop strike incident that occurred while landing his Cessna 182. The conversation covers Jim's flying background, the details of the incident, and the lessons learned. Jim, who began flying in 2012, purchased his Cessna 182 in 2022 and upgraded it with a Garmin G3X system. During a return flight from New Mexico, Jim experienced challenging weather but expected a routine landing. However, a sudden yaw and bank just before touchdown resulted in a prop strike. Using the Garmin G3X data and Flysto.net, Max and Jim analyzed the incident, identifying unstable flight conditions and incorrect control inputs that led to the strike. Jim discusses the repairs, additional training, and surprising insurance implications that followed. Despite the setback, Jim remains committed to improving his piloting skills and encourages others to share their experiences for the benefit of the aviation community.

  • 344 Truckee Airport’s Challenges and its FLY SAFE Program for Pilots – with Jeff Menasco + GA News
    Aug 8 2024
    In this episode, Max talks with Jeff Menasco, the Director of Aviation at Truckee Tahoe Airport, who describes the unique challenges and beauty of the airfield. Situated at a high elevation of 5,901 feet, the airport experiences high-density altitudes, often exceeding 9,000 feet, which can surprise pilots unaccustomed to such conditions. The surrounding mountainous terrain further complicates approaches, creating high minimums and orthographic wind effects, particularly in the afternoons with gusts up to 35 knots. Winter weather adds another layer of complexity, with heavy snowfall requiring extensive snow removal efforts. The area’s scenic appeal and proximity to the Bay Area draw significant air traffic, with 65% originating from there. Jeff highlights accident trends, noting that 24 accidents over 28 years were primarily due to high-density altitude, gusty winds, and IFR conditions with visual obscurations. The airport’s FLY SAFE program incentivizes pilot proficiency through the FAA WINGS program, offering discounts for training and monthly seminars. Efforts to maintain safety include hosting flight clinics and fostering a culture of continuous learning. Noise abatement procedures are also emphasized to respect the community’s tranquility, with specific protocols and quiet hours for operations.

  • 343 ACP398 Stay Safe While Building Flight Time With Max Trescott
    Aug 6 2024
    In this replay of episode #398 of the Aviation Careers Podcast, guest Max Trescott discusses strategies for pilots to stay safe while building flight time toward the 1,500-hour requirement for airline positions. Emphasizing the higher risk associated with general aviation compared to commercial airline flying, Trescott highlights key factors such as the "killing zone" for low-time pilots and the importance of accumulating time in type rather than just total flight hours. He underscores the necessity of a professional attitude, akin to that expected in airline operations, and adherence to Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Trescott warns against complacency and overconfidence, stressing continuous learning and thorough understanding of aircraft limitations. He advises maintaining safe margins, avoiding risky behaviors, and being aware of the heightened dangers of night flying, particularly the somatogravic illusion and black hole approaches. Trescott also touches on the hazards of fatigue, the importance of avoiding FAR violations, and the risks associated with certain over-the-counter medications. He concludes by recommending vigilance in identifying hazards and fostering a strong safety culture, whether in general aviation jobs or as a flight instructor.

  • 341 N1089W Bonanza Takeoff Crash at KISP, Long Island MacArthur Airport
    Jul 26 2024
    In this special episode of Aviation News Talk, Max discusses a recent fatal crash involving N1089W, a Beechcraft A36 Bonanza, at MacArthur Airport in Long Island. The aircraft lost power shortly after takeoff, leading the pilot to attempt a 180-degree turn back to the runway, a maneuver often referred to as the "impossible turn." The plane crashed short of Runway 6, resulting in the deaths of both the pilot and passenger. Max explains the dangers of the "impossible turn," especially for faster aircraft like the Bonanza, due to their larger turn radius. He suggests that using the full length of the runway, rather than an intersection departure, might have provided the pilot with more options for an emergency landing. He emphasizes the importance of thorough preparation, including identifying suitable landing spots and conducting pre-takeoff briefings. He also advises pilots to use the full runway length whenever possible and to be cautious and prepared for emergencies.

  • 339 Skyryse Revolutionizes Helicopter Controls with Single Stick in Robinson R66 + GA News
    Jul 20 2024
    In this episode, Max visits Skyryse, a Southern California-based startup. Its Skyryse One helicopter, has a revolutionary cockpit configuration that eliminates traditional controls such as the cyclic, collective, and pedals. Instead, it features a single centrally mounted control stick and two touchscreen displays, all powered by a triply redundant fly-by-wire flight control system and the company's proprietary SkyOS. The Skyryse One is half the cost of the cheapest IFR-certified helicopters, significantly enhancing safety in the helicopter industry. The aircraft is priced at $1.8 million, higher than the standard Robinson R66 that its based upon, but Skyryse believes the increased safety and capability will justify the premium cost for private pilots and commercial operators. The company aims to certify the Skyryse One by 2025 and it plans to offer the system in other helicopters and fixed wing aircraft. The podcast includes a detailed discussion and demonstration of the Skyryse simulator, highlighting the intuitive controls and dynamic flight protection features that make flying easier and safer.

The technology includes Varjo VR headsets, Valve Index Base Station systems, and Lenovo servers running IPACS software, ensuring high accuracy and immersive experiences. Tedd Rossi from Loft Dynamics provides insights into the simulator’s features, including an instructor console that manages aircraft settings, environmental controls, and malfunction simulations. The console tracks eye movements and body positioning, offering valuable training feedback. A standout feature is the ability to perform external sling load operations, certified by EASA, highlighting the simulators' realism and training value. Max's hands-on experience reveals the potential industry impact, emphasizing the accessibility and effectiveness of Loft Dynamics' VR solutions for smaller operators and training centers.
