Max talks first about the fatal crash of N57HP, a HondaJet, which crashed earlier this week during takeoff from Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ. The aircraft reached 133 knots on the runway, well above the rotation speed of 115 knots, before rejecting its takeoff.
Max also talked with Rob Mark about a near-miss incident at Chicago O'Hare involving Envoy Flight 3936, an Embraer 170. The incident took place on September 25th, when the aircraft was cleared to land on Runway 10 Center but mistakenly landed on Runway 10 Left instead. This misalignment was the result of multiple small errors—a classic "Swiss cheese" moment where various lapses align to create a potentially dangerous situation

Max talks with Eric Peterson, Director of Santa Clara County Airports, discussed the landmark arrival of G100UL, an unleaded 100-octane aviation gasoline, at Reid-Hillview Airport in San Jose, making it the first airport in the U.S. to offer GAMI’s G100UL fuel. Santa Clara County, motivated by studies linking lead exposure to nearby airports, decided to phase out leaded fuels in 2022, initially adopting Swift’s UL94 fuel. However, the new G100UL caters to aircraft needing higher-octane fuel, expanding lead-free options for pilots.
To encourage adoption, GAMI is offering incentives: aircraft based at Reid-Hillview and San Martin Airports can receive the required Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for free by following certain steps, while Bay Area pilots who buy an STC by November 1 can get 25 gallons of free G100UL. Peterson highlighted challenges in sourcing G100UL due to limited distribution channels, which required direct contracting with the manufacturer Vitol Aviation. Currently priced at $6.99 per gallon, the fuel may decrease in cost once rail delivery becomes available.
With EPA regulations pushing for lead-free aviation fuel, Peterson emphasized that the shift is imminent, positioning Reid-Hillview as a national leader in environmentally sustainable aviation practices.

Max talks about how to respond to system failures, including those not covered in the POH. The process starts with assessing the severity of the failure—whether it’s a minor inconvenience or a threat to safety. Pilots should determine if they can substitute other instruments or indicators for the failed system and assess if the issue could lead to cascading failures, such as an engine fire after a turbocharger malfunction.
Choosing the right place to land is also crucial. Not all failures require an immediate landing, so if time permits, pilots should consider airports with better repair facilities.
The episode compares the redundancy in the Cirrus SR22, with its dual alternators and batteries, to the Diamond DA40NG, which has less backup, making electrical failures more critical. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding your aircraft's systems and being prepared for emergencies.
A real-life example of a failure involving engine sensors in a Cirrus highlights the importance of redundancy and system knowledge, underscoring the episode’s key takeaway: know your aircraft, understand potential failures, and always be prepared to act decisively in flight.

Max talks with John Kinard of AeroLuxe Aviation, based in Nashville, which operates a fleet of helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft, including R44 and R22 helicopters. Following Hurricane Helene, the company became involved in relief efforts after seeing the devastation in North Carolina. John contacted the Ashville, NC EOC, and was told that help wasn’t needed. Nonetheless, AeroLux decided to fly three R44 helicopters to the disaster area to see how them might assist.
The helicopters operated out of a base at a Harley-Davidson dealership in Asheville, which had been converted into a command center. Immediately after arriving, the team began delivering supplies to isolated communities cut off by flooding and landslides. They navigated challenging mountainous terrain, landing directly in confined areas to deliver food, water, and medical supplies. The team also saw firsthand the extensive damage, including multimillion-dollar homes washed away by floods.
Despite hot, difficult conditions, AeroLuxe flew daily missions, carrying food and supplies. The company spent five days flying relief missions, and John emphasized the satisfaction of helping people in need. AeroLuxe is already looking at ways they may help this week with Hurricane Milton in Florida.

Max discusses the crash of N831AZ, a Cirrus SR22 at Provo, Utah. The aircraft was following a slower light sport aircraft in the traffic pattern for runway 13. The Cirrus pilot was instructed to go around after getting too close to the preceding aircraft. During both traffic patterns, the pilot struggled with airspeed management, flying with a constantly decreasing airspeed instead of maintaining a stable approach. On the second attempt, the aircraft stalled during the base-to-final turn and crashed into Utah Lake, possibly entering a spin before impact.
He emphasizes the importance of stabilized approaches, maintaining consistent airspeeds, and using proper trim when adding flaps to prevent the nose from rising. He also highlights issues with situational awareness, including managing separation in traffic patterns and avoiding distractions like non-essential conversations in the cockpit. He believes that older Cirrus models have higher accident rates, possibly due to a lack of training rather than the aircraft itself. The crash serves as a reminder of the critical role that airspeed plays in safe flying, especially during the traffic pattern and final approach.

Max talks with Nicholas about his recent experience buying a Cirrus SR22 and flying it from California to Missouri. After Nicholas arrived in San Jose, they drove to Santa Maria, where the plane had been relocated for a pre-purchase inspection. Nicholas discussed how he arranged for a local pilot to ferry the plane to the inspection site and his use of the Cirrus Owners Pilots Association (COPA) to find an independent shop.
The journey itself was full of challenges and learning opportunities. Departing under overcast skies, they flew through mountainous terrain in California, dealt with downdrafts and updrafts, and navigated around weather in Arizona and New Mexico. Their first stop was at the Grand Canyon Airport, where they met a friendly Twin Otter pilot who lent them his truck for lunch.
Fatigue and weather influenced their decision to stop in Albuquerque for the night. The next morning, they flew to Wichita, where they made a fast refueling stop before heading to Missouri. Along the way, they had to deviate around weather and faced an unexpected issue when their engine instrumentation failed, but they completed the journey successfully.

In this episode of the Aviation News Talk podcast, Max discusses the crash of N629AG, a Piper PA-46-350P Malibu Mirage, which occurred on a visual approach to Anderson, Indiana (KAID) on a Friday morning. The aircraft, arriving too high and fast, attempted a go-around but stalled shortly after, killing the pilot and three passengers. The flight had departed from Fort Dodge, Iowa (KFOD) under IFR, leveling off at FL210 before beginning its descent. The pilot likely lost situational awareness, as the aircraft descended too slowly to correct for the high altitude and fast speed on final approach.
Despite having tools like the Garmin G1000, which could have alerted the pilot to the impending danger, the descent planning was inadequate. The episode emphasizes the importance of proper descent planning and the use of avionics tools to prevent accidents, especially in situations where an aircraft is too high and fast for a safe landing. Max also highlights the potential distractions in the cockpit that could lead to a failure in maintaining critical airspeed during such a high-pressure situation.

Max talks with Patrick Carter of NflightCam about his journey from running an aerobatic flight school to creating specialized camera systems for aviation. His interest in video recording began nearly 20 years ago when he used a basic camera setup to help a student improve his loops. This experience highlighted the value of video for flight instruction, as it allowed students to debrief and learn more effectively by reviewing their performance on the ground, free from the stress of flying. Patrick has also offered a Promo code for Aviation News Talk listeners. To get 10% off all purchases from nflightcam.com, use the promo code: MAX
Carter emphasizes that while video is a powerful tool for instruction and safety, it should never become a distraction during flight. He stresses the importance of easy-to-use, non-intrusive camera systems that allow pilots to "set and forget" during flight, ensuring that the primary focus remains on safe flying. He also discusses the legality of mounting cameras on aircraft, explaining that it can be done as a minor alteration with proper consideration of safety factors. Overall, Carter advocates for using video to enhance flight training while maintaining strict attention to safety and minimizing distractions.

Max talks with CFI Jim Hopp, who shares insights about tailwheel flying. He explains that tailwheel planes offer a more hands-on flying experience, with fewer instruments and a stick for better control. The primary challenge in tailwheel flying is ground handling due to the center of gravity being behind the main gear, which increases the risk of swerving and ground loops during takeoff and landing.
Hopp discusses gyroscopic precession, a factor that causes tailwheel planes to yaw left during takeoff, requiring more right rudder input. He also highlights the importance of precise rudder control, particularly in crosswinds, and explains the different landing techniques used in tailwheel planes: the three-point landing and the more advanced wheel landing. In the air, tailwheel planes demand more rudder usage due to their older, draggy designs, which make adverse yaw more noticeable.
Hopp also talks about the requirements for a tailwheel endorsement, including extensive ground training and practice in handling the aircraft. He emphasizes that while tailwheel flying is more demanding, it offers rewarding experiences and improved piloting skills
