Podcasting On A Plane (Podcasting On A Plane | Brandon Gonzales)

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.

“A letter to Kelly Johnson” was a bonus part of “Blackbird: The Movie” A film by Lockheed. I recommend you go see it.

For today’s episode, I have 5 people here who CAN follow that act. The guys who maintained it.

The reality of operating the SR was that with all of its technology and grace, it needed a lot of maintenance. And rightfully so. Can you imagine being tasked with learning every nut bolt, spacer, mount, bearing, expansion joint, seam, and seal in the world’s most amazing aircraft?

I think it’s safe to say it wasn’t like working on any other aircraft at the time, or ever since, and for the crews tasked with keeping it ready to go at all times, it wasn’t like supporting anything else…

Today we hear their stories. And if you even think for a second that the maintenance side of things isn’t for you, think again. The 5 histories you’re going to hear today will change the way you think about maintenance forever, and each story will teach you something you’ll take with you, and think about every time you touch an airplane from now on.

The SR is capable of going so high and fast that it’ll get hotter than an oven just from friction, but ever wonder what happens if you get it wet? What happens if you catch fire during refueling and end up stranding one in Ogden, UT? Or what to do if you’re going to run out of Nitrogen, before you run out of fuel…

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 meridian or an eclipse.

But after the lecture ended he took us all out to lunch at the fantastic Mexican restaurant Cosa Machado if you’ve ever been to Montgomery Field (KMYF). He started talking about the things he done, the places he had been, crazy stuff actually. I think it started with flying in airplane in the thunderstorms or something. But then we got to becoming a police officer in Colorado and not just anywhere Colorado; Telluride Colorado (KTEX). The very same place I grew up. The same place I did a radio show with my dad. And, guess we talked about next. Broadcasting. Then, Working a more or less first job throwing bags for continental airlines at Stapleton, Which they also let me do back at Telluride as my first aviation job. I mean. CO Express, but hey, who’s counting. And plus, the flights went to Denver anyway. So there.

But I can’t help feeling that so many things that I did, it’s like he had done the same thing only a few decades earlier.

Something I’ve said, or at least implied, is that aviation can be just so many different things to so many different people. And I’m not here to judge. Quite the opposite, I’m happy for you however you choose to integrate it into your daily life.

And while I wouldn’t change much about my journey, there’s a little part of me that has a dream about how, in a different time and place, maybe I’d have taken a different path. One where I stuck with broadcasting. Or whatever, and took aviation into my life in a different way.

That’s probably why I gel with our guest today so well. Because that’s exactly what he did!

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:

1. Flying During COVID -  CAE experience

2. Boeing MCAS talk. Comparison with Citation X and Challenger AOA systems

3. Go around procedures / danger of not having it committed to memory

4. ATIS Myths,  onboard wind information, how to use each

Thank you for listening, and make sure you’re subscribed so you won’t miss Part 2 next week!

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), and pulling back the curtain a little bit. And for those in the business of making content, it’s something we struggle with sometimes.

Now, this is an aviation podcast, one in which I often promise the back story in all that we do in air world, and since aviation journalism is how we spread the word about pretty much all that happens in it, I figured an Episode like this is fair game. If you’re new here, this one’s a little different. Regular listeners will know that I’m an administrator at the 21st century aerospace communicators group, along with many notable aviation writers you’ve actually heard of, and if you’re curious, make sure to get on Facebook and request to be in the group too. Oh, and don’t forget to go back and listen to Episode 52 for more about us.

The group is led by Rob Mark, and no matter where you fall in the spectrum of civil aviation, you’ll probably be familiar with his work. He’s the Senior Editor at FLYING Magazine and the publisher of JetWhine.com, long time Airplane Geek over at the Airplane Geeks Podcast, Graduate of the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern, but most importantly of all, frequent guest on this show….

Ok maybe that’s not the most important part, but he’s back today because we really wanted to tackle a topic that’s an underlying part of just about everything we read, hear, and watch in the news, aviation or not: Narrative

It’s a simple word, and it’s defined by (Dictionary.com): a representation of a particular situation or process in such a way as to reflect or conform to an overarching set of aims or values. 

But the implications of it are huge. It’s part of the entire brand of a news outlet. And, if you ask me, or anybody really, it often gets taken too far. To the point that things are straight up twisted to make a story pan out a certain way. And then twisted a little further to get more re-tweets…

Today we’re going to pick apart a couple of Cirrus crashes, but not just any cirrus crashes. These are serious fatal accidents. In each case, the accident aircraft had a pilot plus 2 passengers.  And the reason Max and I are talking about these In particular, is because ATC played an interesting part in each one. Not necessarily a causal one, as we’ll see from the NTSB reports, but the interactions with ATC were key in one way or another in the events leading up to the occurrence. And that’s, of course, where our worlds overlap!

Max Trescott is a fulltime flight instructor. He started flying at age 15 and finished his pilot certificate in college. He has degrees in Electrical Engineering, Psychology, and a MBA. He spent 25 years working in sales and marketing for Hewlett-Packard.

In 2004 he left HP and he now devotes full time to teaching flying, writing, and giving speeches and seminars. He’s written two books, including Max Trescott’s G1000 Glass Cockpit Handbook, now in its fifth edition.  He holds an ATP certificate for all four airplane categories.

Max specializes in teaching in Cirrus Aircraft and a week ago he finished his type-rated in the Cirrus SF50 Vision Jet. In 2008, he was named by the FAA as the National Certificated Flight Instructor of the Year to represent the 96,000 flight instructors in the U.S.

He has a weekly podcast focused on General Aviation in which he shares GA news from around the world plus pilot skills and safety tips. The show is Aviation News Talk, and you can find it in the Apple App store and Google Play Store or wherever you get your podcasts.

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.

Richard L. “Dick” Collins, a prolific aviation journalist whose career spanned 60 years, nearly half of it on the masthead of Flying magazine including more than a decade in the 1970s through the late 1980s as editor-in-chief, died on Sunday at his home in suburban Maryland. He was 84.

The old saying always went, If it ain’t Boeing, I ain’t going.  A saying that not only showed allegiance to a favorite heavy airframe manufacturer, but that also had an underlying sense of patriotism too. I’d be hard to argue that Boeing isn’t an American institution. A US company that for decades dominated the global airframe market, and even though Airbus has made things more of a duopoly over the past few decades (and I’m going to sidestep a whole bunch of politics here) the Boeing Vs Airbus thing is a lot more than just two companies competing in a market. It’s ideological. Patriotically, it represents the position of the United States in the global transportation market. That alone is enough for most Americans to take up an opinion.  But for us aviators, there’s an even bigger issue, and it’s one of control. Not just in business, but in a fundamental physical form. Because Boeing trusts YOU to have it. Or at least, they always did…

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 in a Diamond Star somewhere over Southern California and it feels pretty good. But there were a few first flights back that felt more than a little uncomfortable and awkward. And I don’t like feeling that way in an airplane.

Now I know, I know, this might be the last thing anybody wants to talk about ever again. Except maybe politics, that’s usually worse, and I usually make a point to steer clear of that as much as possible, but the conversation we have isn’t about that, although it may border dangerously close few times... It’s about what I call “getting it back.” Our lives, our inspiration, our mojo. Getting our groove back so that we can put this all behind us as quickly and healthily (I’m sure that’s a legitimate medical term) as possible. So, I hope you’ll stay listening, and let me know how you’re feeling as we come back to reality.

In this Episode, FBO Manager Randy Pitti tells us about how his company has taken a stance against Fees.

At the center of the unreasonable fees issue, returning guest Anthony Tamburrini gives us an insider update on how ACI has fared since taking over from Signature about a year ago.

In today’s final episode, We hear the story of what really brought down Air France flight 4590, the only Concorde ever to crash, and widely regarded as the end of the Concorde program. 

The figurative and literal demise of Concorde is often referred to as a travesty, and not just to us aviation types. Businesspeople and wealthy globetrotters all were sad to see it go, the general populace of England And France lost an Icon of their countries abilities, and I think we can all agree that ending the program is akin to taking a giant metaphorical step backwards. 

Unfortunately though, there’s nothing you and I can do to bring Concorde back, but I think it’s important that we all know the real story behind what happened that fateful day in July 2000, and why Concorde was pulled from service the way it was.

John's Book: Wind Beneath my Wings

We had it…

1976-2003, It was the absolute pinnacle of airline transportation. 

We all know the story now too of why it went away. And if you don’t, make sure to go back and listen to Concorde Week Episodes 33-36, and also Episode 53. Where renowned Concorde expert and Retired Concorde Captain and BBC Broadcaster John Hutchinson recounts what it was like to live the life many of us can now only dream of. 

It’s always an honor to speak with John, and today he’s back to answer some of the more operational questions listeners have sent in after his last appearance on the show. What he has to say might really surprise you…

Our story starts with me standing in a hangar. A really big hangar. Actually, it’s more like a movie set. A movie set with rides, and an F-14, and an SR-71, but they’re not props though, they’re real…

I’m not on a movie set at all though, I’m in a museum. A museum they call the Zoo. And I’m in Michigan.

Follow along all week as the story unfolds. 

Today, hear from former Lockheed Skunk Works Director and Historian, Steve Justice. Plus, Pilots B.C. Thomas and Ed Yeilding tell us what it was like to hold a blackbird steady for 20 minutes for a refueling. What it was like to mess with Fidel Castro from 80,000 feet, to make the final Blackbird flight, while setting a world record speed run, and to deliver a piece of history to Washington. And what it’s like to see 3 sunsets and sunrises in an hour, while looking down into the eye of a hurricane.

Special thanks go to Jamie Pleune for kicking this all off.

And to Air Zoo CEO Troy for Hosting me, and giving me free rein to record this spectacular weekend.

Thank you Abby for being an amazing co-producer!

And thanks to Nikki, Nate, and Rebecca. For turning the chaos into magic. ...and for introducing me to Blackbird Porter. More on that later…

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 link in the show notes, just in case you missed it. But today Rob’s here, in the flesh, and we have a pretty cool talk for you. And it’s about more than just what happened, it’s about why it happened, and whether or not we can even prevent something like this from happening in the future.

And I sure hope we can. But as you’ll hear, it’ll take a lot more than just a few tweaks in the training Department…

From Rob's Article:

The NTSB issued six new safety recommendations following the investigation into the Atlas Air 3591 accident. The NTSB said the FAA should issue a safety alert for all Boeing 757/767 operators warning of the possibility of an inadvertent go-around activation when the pilot flying is in close proximity to the speed brake handle. The NTSB also wants to see the vulnerabilities of the current pilot record system that would include the results of all pilot training once it begins, regardless of the result and that the system be easily searchable by pilot certificate number. The Board reiterated its call for advanced cockpit video recorder systems for Part 121/135 aircraft.

On the human side of the equation, the NTSB reiterated to the FAA the urgent need to “require all Part 121 and 135 air carriers to obtain any notices of disapproval for flight checks for certificates and ratings for all pilot applicants and evaluate this information before making a hiring decision. To also require Part 121, 135, and 91K operators to document and retain electronic and/or paper records of pilot training and checking events in sufficient detail so the the carrier and its principal operations inspector can fully assess a pilot’s entire training performance. The Board also wants to see all training records provided to hiring employers as required under the PRIA and to develop a method of verifying the accuracy of those training records.”

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 Rob and I talked about, I can’t wait to hear from you, make sure to shoot me an email at Brandon@podcastingonaplane.com

GOOOOOOD DAY!

Yeah, so turns out the event I’m at has its own beer…

Have I mentioned yet how cool and different this museum is? 

Well, over a couple of these I got to spend an evening just hanging out with the entire SR71 crew. And that I got to talk face to face, just like that, with this incredible group is something I’ll never forget.

Today Jerry Glasser, Buz Carpenter, and John Murphy share their one of a kind perspectives from both the front seat, and the back seat of the SR.

...In the immediate aftermath I remember coming to, hanging upside down by my seatbelt and right in front of my face was a broken piece of glass. As I hung there, I was able to put together that what it was the rear window of the 210. through the broken glass a few inches from my face,  I could see some dirt, a little smashed piece of grass and a stunned little bug crawling around. I was able to figure out that i was hanging upside down...

Substantial 

3 Serious, 1 Minor, 2 None 

Part 91: General Aviation - Business 

AFTER HAVING DISCUSSED THE LOCAL ADVERSE WIND CONDITIONS NEAR THE DEPARTURE END OF THE RUNWAY WITH AIRPORT OPERATION PERSONNEL, THE PRIVATE PILOT ELECTED TO ATTEMPT THE FLIGHT. HE SAID THAT DURING HIS TAKEOFF CLIMB HE UNEXPECTEDLY ENCOUNTERED A VERY STRONG DOWNDRAFT. IN AN ATTEMPT TO MAINTAIN ALTITUDE, THE AIRCRAFT STALLED AND COLLIDED WITH THE GROUND. DESPITE WARNING FROM AIRCRAFT PERSONNEL, THE PILOT STATED BEFORE THE FLIGHT THAT HE SHOULD ATTEMPT TO CLIMB OVER ADVERSE WINDS RATHER THAN MAINTAIN ADDITIONAL AIRSPEED. THE AIRPLANE WAS VERY NEAR MAXIMUM GROSS WEIGHT AND THE PILOT USED 20 DEGREES OF FLAPS, INSTEAD OF THE RECOMMENDED 10. THE PILOT WAS AWARE OF A BOOKLET AT THE AIRPORT WARNING OF HAZARDOUS WIND CONDITIONS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WINDS WERE SOUTHERLY IN EXCESS OF 10 M.P.H. DENSITY ALTITUDE WAS 10,760 FEET. 

Probable Cause and Findings

The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be: THE PILOT'S FAILURE TO MAINTAIN FLYING SPEED WHICH RESULTED IN A STALL. FACTOR WAS WIND SHEAR REPORTED OFF DEPARTURE END OF RWY. 

So today’s all about wellness. For you, for me, for the next generation of aviators. Aviation is one of the most Alpha businesses out there. And why shouldn’t it be? There’s a lot at stake. But a lot of pilots. A lot of people, they sometimes think of wellness as some sort of weakness. As if taking a second to plan the viability of your very existence is anything other than a top priority. And I’m here to tell you that it’s NOT. Not at all…

This was life. It was as unique as any program could be.

These gentlemen you’ve heard from lived it, and they could have just retired. Hung up the flight suit, and sailed off into the history books. But they didn’t. And to think they would have, would be to miss the point that those who were chosen and successful in the SR Program were truly a cut above. And don’t worry, they’re in the history books already. But for an SR crew, that’s not good enough, because even though you could buy a book about the SR anywhere, or check one out at the library, and I recommend you do. These guys are still traveling around, 30 years later, AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE to make sure that their stories don’t expire on their watch. And to do their part to inspire youth, and people of all ages to participate in this amazing thing we call aviation.

And that, is how you leave a legacy.

I want to thank you personally for being here all week and hearing these stories. On such a special series like this, I won’t be back at the end with an outro, but don’t worry, Robby will leave you with a message more inspirational than I ever could.

So, before we start, I want to take a moment to express what an honor it was to produce these episodes. To be part of the team at the Air Zoo, if only for a minute, and to do what little bit I can to preserve these stories for future generations. It’s been one of the most enjoyable projects I’ve ever worked on, in any capacity and I’m humbled to be the one to bring these stories to you.

So, without further ado, I leave you in the hands of those who were trusted to fly, monitor, and maintain the fastest spy plane ever created...

Stormy Boudreaux, John Manzi, and Robby Butterfield.

Good Day.

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 feedback and emails and even a few new patrons too. And we’re going to get right to that. But first, the elephant in the room. No, I’m not at Oshkosh. I actually did plan to go, even managed to get the week off, but this summer, for whatever reason, I felt the need to be home and getting things back on track more than ever. And I’m glad I did, because a lot actually transpired over this last week of July I was glad to be home for.

Including making this Episode!

Let's welcome our new Patrons: Scott Sutton and Christian!

Thank you for your support of the show!

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 position yourself for the upswing. And yes, as bleak as things often look, there WILL be an upside. We just never exactly know when.

I don’t have a crystal ball. Nobody does. Not even the old guy with the expensive suit you saw on CNBC. I mean, sure, he sounds like he does, but he doesn’t. The one thing that guy does have though, is some pretty good market research to go off of. But that takes armies of people who make it their business to collect and analyze data, and we don’t often get to see it raw, and even if we did, I’m not sure we’d really know how to interpret it.

But… What if there was a really user friendly place to get industry news that covers things like:

ATC, dispatch, data analysis, aircraft and interior design and engineering, IT and cybersecurity.

And what about if the source made a solid effort to connect different parts of industry to each other in ways not covered before.

And what if this source made an effort to inform you about specific actionable things that can be done at all levels to raise the visibility of the opportunities existing in aviation and aerospace for well-paid, challenging and critical jobs? Jobs that can give Silicon Valley and others a run for their money any day. Cool stuff that kids might want to do like: unmanned systems, advanced air mobility, aviation innovation incubators, commercial space, environmental issues, changing powerplant technology and connected aircraft.

I’d read it.

And I’d definitely do a podcast about it too…

So here it is!

As controllers, we often talk about the traffic in two ways. Volume, which of course, is how many airplanes, and complexity. Which is how difficult it is to make a problem work. Without complexity, you can work a ton of aircraft, and it isn’t all that bad. But with complexity factored in, you can feel like you’re going down the tubes with only a few. The real question is though, how do you feel about it when you’re there, and when it’s over. That session felt like anything worth doing. Kinda painful, but very gratifying afterward. And a friend saying something nice can make it all worthwhile.

If you’re new to the show, welcome! My name is Brandon Gonzales. I’m an Air Traffic Controller at a busy GA airport, but I’ve had a varied 25 year aviation experience thus far including Piloting, Flight Instructing, Aircraft Sales, Ramp and line service for both GA and airlines, and now Aviation podcasting as well.

On this show we hit aviation from as many angles as possible. Be it news, interviews, storytelling, Airlines, GA, even drones sometimes. But whatever it is, if you can fly in it, it’s fair game here.

Today specifically, we’ve got two of my favorite aviation topics to discuss. Aviation community, and also future technology.

Back to the beginning of the episode and the shoutouts from my friends. At my airport, there’s no lack of friendship. People are always saying hi to me and each other on the radio, setting up airport events, and I’ll be honest, our airport even has a decent bar…

But it reminded me. That’s probably the greatest part of this whole aviation thing. Besides burning kerosene to propel yourself around at hundreds of miles per hour & stuff, but I digress. 

The communities built around different parts of flying never fail to amaze me, and now, in the time of social media, that’s gotten even better. So, in this episode, I’m going to change some stuff up. It’s community first! …Then the other content.

Which by the way today is an interview with a professor at Arizona State University named Yongming Liu, who’s working with NASA to change the future of air traffic control. You know, it’s interesting how the government works with academia and if you’re interested in that, or the future of ATC, you won’t want to miss this!

Tips

Technical Stuff:

1. “Monitor the freq. before you speak”

2. Not everything has to be read back. Use “Wilco” often.

3. Traffic Calls - Use “looking/searchin,” or “Traffic in Sight”

Myths:

1. “I don’t want to get into trouble, so I don’t talk to ATC” - WRONG

2. “I thought I was doing you a favor” - Nope

3. “ATC is too busy to talk to me” - Sometimes, but not likely

Common Questions:

1. How far out do I call the tower?

2. When contacting Approach with a request, should I simply state: XYZ approach, the tail number, and stop? OR immediately go for the full request?

3. Pet Peeves

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 can’t wait to hear from you, make sure to shoot me an email at Brandon@podcastingonaplane.com

Topics discussed:

1. Energy management

2. Stabilized approaches are not optional

3. How to think ahead of the airplane

4. The 5 A’s

5. The “Rule of 3” and how many ways you can use it

6. How to REALLY do a checklist properly and easily

7. Changing your perspective - Why becoming a CFI is a bridge to becoming a real PRO

Order John's Book: Wind Beneath my Wings

Today, John tells us about What it was like to train on Concorde. As you might imagine, it wasn’t like other airplanes to learn.

But first, John recounts his harrowing escape from a burning 707 fuselage at Heathrow, and How a well trained cabin crew was the not so secret ingredient to their successful escape. Plus he throws in some fun editorial about how the incident was covered in the media at the time.

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 the pandemic, maybe you’ve said something similar like “can’t we just do this remotely?”

Well, more and more, it’s looking like the answer is yes! Just about every meeting and collaboration can now be done from the comfort of your home over Zoom or Teams, and for the most part, that’s cool. That is, unless your kid pops in on your live broadcast, or you’ve accidentally left your favorite sex toy on the shelf right behind you...

But what about in aviation? We don’t pilot passengers remotely. Yet at least. We can, but do t really do remote tower operations. However you could argue that just about all radar stuff is remote though. But of course, not from home.

But there is one thing we just may be able to do remotely now, but the jury is still out on whether or not it’s a great idea…

Rob and I want to hear from you about this! Make sure to send in your feedback so that we can discuss it in a future Episode.

GOOOOOOOD DAY!

If you’re listening to this podcast, I’m guessing you’ve heard of Shaesta Waiz. But on the off chance you haven’t, she's the youngest woman to fly around the world. Solo. Only 6 WOMEN (of any age) have ever done it before her, in the history of aviation. But she didn’t do it for glory, she did it to help children all over the world become interested in STEM concepts, and in aviation as a career. 

She is the first Afghan woman to earn a civilian pilot’s license. 

She’s the first in her family to attend college.

She’s the founder and President of Dreams Soar Inc. A nonprofit she founded still in her 20s to help women all over the world land careers in STEM related fields. Her organization provides inspiration, outreach, and scholarships for young women with dreams of careers in fields involving Science Technology Engineering, and Math.

From her birth in an Afghan refugee camp, she was groomed for a traditional life as a mother and founder of a large family, more than the founder of a non-profit with global reach. But she decided to break the mold and travel the world encouraging young women to do the same.

Although she does still love to cook...

Today, Part 4 of what’s up with the MAX, and with Boeing.

The Film tells the unsung story of a group of Yale college students who took the initiative to learn to fly in preparation for America’s entry into World War I and became the founding squadron of the U.S. Naval Air Reserve.

The award winning film’s VOD release date of February 15, 2018 was chosen to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of First Yale Unit member Albert D. Sturtevant, the first U.S. Naval Aviator killed in combat, when his plane went down in the North Sea on February 15, 1918.

Narrated by Academy Award® nominated actor Bruce Dern, grandnephew of one of the aviators, the feature length documentary charts the romantic, little known story of the origins of American airpower and features very rare archival footage and thrilling dogfighting sequences filmed air to air with replica WW1 planes, some with original engines.

Inspired by Marc Wortman’s book The Millionaires’ Unit the film has been developed and produced by descendants of the First Yale Unit, including filmmaker Ron King, producers Harry Davison and Mike Davison, and narrator Bruce Dern who are all grandnephews and grandsons of FYU members.

Today is July 25th which is, of course, the anniversary of that tragedy. The crash signaled the beginning of the end of Concorde, and the end of the era of supersonic commercial air travel.

This is an all time personal favorite episode, and one of the all time most downloaded episodes as well. 

John is an amazing person who has lived a life that most aviation people can only dream of, culminating in the combined professions of being not only a British Airways Concorde Captain, but a BBC Broadcaster as well. Envy barely begins to cover it for me…

If you’re interested in learning more about John, please consider clicking on the link in the show notes to purchase his autobiography, The Wind Beneath My Wings written by Susan Ottaway. It’s amazing!

And, if you’ve not listened to episodes 33-36 of this podcast which I called Concorde week, please go back and listen to learn more about John’s career, Concorde in its heyday, and other amazing stories, including hanging out with the royal family, as told by John himself.

John's Book: Wind Beneath my Wings

In the last 2 episodes, we learned what it took to get selected to fly the Concorde, what training was like, and why. Narrowly escaping an aircraft fire at Heathrow. And what it was like flying corporate in England in the 60s.

Today, in our second to last episode, John becomes a BBC correspondent. He becomes known to the royal family, and of all the rich, famous, and powerful people he flew across the pond in his 15 year Concorde Captaincy, John has one who stands out to this day, and he tells us who that is, and why.

Unpleasant as it is, that’s what we all need to be doing right now. Staying home. Social distancing, being careful. It’s the only way to slow and maybe even stop the spread of this terrible virus that it’s hard to predict how will affect a person.

So, in these scary, never seen before times, we’re all forced to reality check ourselves in a way we’ve probably never had to do before. And as we stay home (that’s what you’re doing right??) I want to give you some legitimate ways to stay connected, to stay informed, and to protect yourself as an aviator. 

I’ve got a doctor here to give us some facts and answer some gray area questions about Coronavirus and flying.

The Talk2Tower Aviation Radio Instruction Platform is the result of 3.5 years training, implementation and analysis of private radio instruction and was designed and developed to be an entirely new class of Aviation Radio Instruction. Talk2Tower’s unique program offers fully comprehensive radio instruction that is detailed, concise and operationally functional.

The benefits of the Talk2Tower program are undeniable, but by far, the most important value is the tremendous increase in safety when a pilot is effective and efficient in communications with Air Traffic Control.

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!

On September 23, 2017, Women in Aviation International chapters around the world will bring all of the passion, exploration, learning, and excitement of aviation and aerospace right to you. Across the Women in Aviation International network, plans are in the works for an extraordinary day of fun and inspiration! 

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 are women and pilots.

Stay with me, I’m going somewhere with this.

There’s another Venn diagram that keeps coming up too. And it’s where the pilot circle overlaps with the controller circle. There’s this tiny little sliver where I find myself, along with a few others who play both sides of the mic. It’s cozy in here, and if you want to hang out, you’ll find Me, Clay Taylor from Airways Magazine, RH and AG from Opposing Bases, and maybe a few others. And the little sliver gets reeeeealy small when you talk about controllers who are CURRENT pilots. Not “were” or “was in a different life.”

Today’s guest is pretty noteworthy as she’s got a little of every circle I’ve mentioned thus far. And is generally known as one of the best controllers around. Or was at least, and we’ll get to that. But she comes from a tower pretty similar to mine, and form what I’ve heard, knows how to rock a mic on either side.

This is gonna be a fun day…

Welcome to Podcasting on a Plane, I’m Brandon Gonzales, Tower Controller, CFI, Former Aircraft salesman, Aviation podcaster, and connoisseur of the Venn diagram… broadcasting as always from the Tower at mythical, yet oh so real West Coast Delta, and this is the podcast where we talk about the backstories behind all that we do in air world.

Sometimes on the flying side, sometimes on the ATC side, and sometimes both. And from what your feedback tells me, those are the favorites, so be glad you listened today because that’s what’s about to happen.

Now I mentioned Venn diagrams earlier. And we found ourselves in a really tiny overlap, but I’ve got just one more circle to add. What about not only controllers who are pilots, but those who actually CARE. People who don’t just hold certificates and go to work, but people who go to work because it’s their purpose. It isn’t just a job.

In this little sliver of the Venn diagram, everybody knows each others’ names. So today, let me introduce you to Pam…

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...

Enjoy!

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.

Today, Rob Mark, Publisher of Jetwhine and Senior Editor of FLYING Magazine is back to discuss side hustles, career changes, pivots, and alternates. I don’t know anyone whose career hasn’t had a few of these, and that’s why I want to give you some ACTIONABLE content today that might help move your career along. Or even catch you if the bottom does fall out without warning you first…

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 lifetime, and start in to 202 with a healthy amount of cautions optimism, I can’t say that I’ll be changing the show fundamentally. But, if there are any resolution-style changes I’d like, it’d be to get you all on it more, be it through voice feedback, emails, or whatever.

And to that end, I’ve got quite a bit of it today, questions, comments, a little something for everyone, so let’s get to it. Oh, and we’re going to talk about that little 2.5 Billion dollar payout Boeing owes too...

Seattle Times Article 

Current state of Boeing & deliveries 

Was MCAS even needed? (Thank you Russ Irwin for passing this one along)

Episode 040 tells the story of a modern day biplane adventure that continues where Richard Bach and Spence Nelson left off 50 years ago!

If you’re not familiar with the book. Nothing by chance is one of the all time great aviation books. Written by the great author Richard Bach, who also authored Jonathan Livingston Seagull, perhaps you’ve heard of it?

First published in 1969 It follows the author on a biplane adventure throughout the midwest United States Making a living, day to day. Town to town, In a time gone by, that we’ll never see again. Or will we?

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 learn to fly marketing material I’ve ever seen.

And that’s because it’s so beautiful. So expressive of the sentiment we all feel when aviation’s running through your veins, and spoken by one of the all time great artists, scientists, and thinkers of the last thousand years.

Are you ready?

“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” - Leonardo DaVinci

There’s just one problem… DaVinci never said that!

On a short break at work, I was scrolling through instagram, and I saw a post that really struck a chord with me. It was by aeroprollc. Which is the company of a great fan of the show, whom you’ve heard more than once reading the post show disclaimer like a seasoned radio pro. And it’s no surprise, since he’s no stranger to broadcasting… His name is Chris Dunn, and he’s known as “The Flying Weatherman” from Gulf Shores Alabama. He’s got a unique perspective on things, and I’ve been looking for a good time to get him on the show. And this is it!

So, a little about Rob. As if you didn’t know, he’s the senior editor at Flying Magazine. You’ve all heard him for years on Airplane Geeks, and on his own JetWhine production at Jetwhine.com. 

He’s a journalism Alum @Northwestern University, and this is where our story takes a fun turn. I don’t think either one of us knew how much we had in common! 

My Wife went to Northwestern. And I went to Purdue. I flew up there a lot to visit, and I always flew into PWK airport. Now “Chicago Executive” whatever. 

A lot of people don’t know this, but Rob used to be a Controller too.

His office is something I’ve probably driven past 100 times in Evanston.

It looks like our careers are following a strikingly similar path so far. 

Him and I have gone back and forth before, and he’s even recorded a piece for this show called “the scariest takeoff I ever made” (Episode 023). 

Cool. But there’s still the matter of this whole “chat” thing. It’s probably time we get that sorted out…

The IMC Club’s purpose is to promote instrument flying, proficiency, and safety. The intent is to create a community of pilots willing to share information, provide recognition, foster communications, promote safety, and build proficiency in instrument flying. IMC Club chapters offer monthly meetings in which pilots can network and share knowledge and experiences.

The chapter resources and scenarios are being produced and distributed as a new program by EAA IMC LLC (“EAA IMC”), an Experimental Aircraft Association Inc. subsidiary, under a license from IMC Club International Inc. This will provide resources for new and improved program offerings that will enhance and expand the impact of the IMC concept.

To provide continuity, support, direction, and programming, Radek is now the manager of flight proficiency with EAA IMC. Being part of the EAA family will provide the network, critical mass, and resources to take flight safety and proficiency to the next level.  EAA IMC Club is presented by Bose Corporation and supported by Jeppesen.

In the meetings, a scenario is given, nothing is artificial, the scenarios really happened! What would you do?

When TWA lost flight 514 the industry was changed forever. Not immediately of course, but 3 very important things we use every day eventually grew from the ashes on top of that foothill…

 Documentaries and books have been written on this topic and the links are in the description. I’m not going to try to re-invent the wheel when it comes to covering this, but today’s episode hopefully will serve as a really good overview for you to learn about how one single accident gave us so many of the things we now take for granted.

It’s been a week since part one, and there’s a lot to add to our story about the MAX…

Saturday night at the museum.

Maybe not something you’d associate with a good time. Probably the opposite actually. But on THIS Saturday night, even for a college town like Kalamazoo, the Air Zoo was the place to be.

Because, on that night, every single member of the crew was out and about to tell their stories to a willing crowd. Forget about the context of a museum, the Air Zoo is possibly one of the finest event venues I’ve ever seen with an aviation theme. Like walking onto a movie set but one where you get to interact with the characters. And the characters in our story are the SR-71 crews.

And to make it even more special tonight was the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to actually sit inside the SR 71.

If you’re wondering, yeah, I did end up sitting in it, in the same exact seat that Buz, BC, and those select few instructors got to sit in as they checked out each and every one of the 89 or so SR pilots at Beale.

And it was an honor.

Now that we’ve met all but 3 of our crew members, as you listen, see if you can identify your favorites as we spend the evening walking the floor of one of the most unique evenings I’ve ever had.

What you'll hear:

Steve discussing taking the Job at Lockheed

Ed Yeilding discussing HABU

BC and Ed Still have their flight suits ready

BC Thomas Trolling North Korea

“Short a rudder”

Ed Hall Gives us a guided tour of the B model

Produced in collaboration with Kalamazoo Air Zoo.

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 that needs to get somewhere fast.

Ok, so maybe it’s not the absolute best way to see the world, but that’s just my Camp 2 narrative talking.

Deanna, well, she lives firmly in camp one, and I think that’s pretty cool, and by the end of today, I think you will too. Especially after she shares one of the best “how I got into flying” stories I’ve heard. And it’s shares more than a little bit with my own. 

Plus, there’s the whole line guy foot fetish story ….. so yeah…

What if you’re living the dream? Maybe you’ve got a plane of your own. Not much risk in that right? Or is there?

For those outside the industry, there’s always stuff getting made up about what goes on in private jets, and who knows, maybe some of it’s true, but for you all listening, we all know the reality is that having your own plane isn’t so much about frivolous luxury, but more about business. And enjoyment too of course, but in a time like this, it could also be about safety above all else. Because you’ve got the ability to get around, without much contact with the outside world.

But sometimes, and even with your own plane, you’re still going to be out in the world a bit. And for those who fly things that burn kerosene, yes even just for personal use, you’re going to have to go through recurrent training each year. And chances are, that’s in a sim center. Which is full of people.  in close proximity...

So, what’s it like?

Well, luckily (for us at least), friends and show supporters Phil and Daniel just went through it. And they were happy to share their experience with what it was like to spend the week in Dallas. Something nobody really wants to do right about now.
