  • 173. Descend Via Phraseology, Aviation YouTube Deep Dive, and CFI Survival Tips

    Dylan and Max are recording from hotel rooms across the country and catching up after some time off. They kick things off with a deep dive into aviation YouTube, comparing backcountry flying with ferrying retired Airbuses from Asia. In the mailbag, they respond to listeners with questions about juggling a corporate flying gig while working for a major airline, updates from a newly minted high school grad CFI, and a debate on whether you need to report vacating altitudes during "descend via" clearances. Flight Advice wraps the episode with tips for a low-time pilot who just landed a chief pilot role flying a TBM.

In Flight Advice, a low-time pilot lands a dream SIC gig and asks: how do you not screw this up? Max and Dylan break down how to stand out and stay sharp as a new jet FO.

Flight Advice features a double header: first, whether to stick with an aviation degree or pivot, and second, a pilot blindsided by a mysterious 135 termination—and the training contract bill that followed.
