Cardinal Aviation Audio Briefings

Uncontrolled aerodrome procedures are something that even the professionals mix up sometimes! We discuss the required radio calls and procedures when flying into an MF (Mandatory Frequency) or uncontrolled airport both IFR & VFR that may or may not be served by a Flight Service Station (FSS). This episode is a great brush up on the little details that can sometimes get us in trouble. It is also a great intro to Canadian uncontrolled aerodrome procedures for those that will be flying into Canada for the first time.

Be sure to listen to Episode 10 First!:  At age 19, after spending two years planning, training, and fundraising over a quarter of a million dollars, Ryan successfully flew solo around the world. This expedition broke the world record for the youngest pilot and first teenager to circumnavigate the globe solo in a single-engine airplane. 24,000 nautical miles, 35 destinations, and 15 countries providing some profound life lessons. (Part 1 of 2)

Peter Duffey is the President and CEO of the Canadian Air Traffic Controllers Association. He joins us to discuss how Nav Canada and the various Unions representing its employees have come together to quickly put in aggressive measures to ensure the safety of all the Air Traffic Service employees and the continued operation of Canada's airspace.

He was the youngest person to fly around the world then was involved in a horrific plane crash that left him a paraplegic. He has since beaten all odds and as a partial paraplegic earned his helicopter pilot license and dedicates his life to speaking about living a life of adventure and overcoming adversity. We discuss the accident as well as the power of the community and its impact on his recovery.  (Part 1 of 2)
