Here are the highlights you’ll find in this podcast episode:

• My latest assignment at Classic Aviation – Installing the freshly overhauled engine in a Cessna 172 that is almost complete after an extensive rebuild process.
• Some emails I’ve received from listeners with fun feedback of multiple types.
• Some listener thoughts about home simulator systems.
• Some resources I’ve found helpful in sharpening up ATC communication skills.

Here are some of those fantastic resources:

1. Live ATC: Choose an ATC facility somewhere in the country, and listen in! LiveATC.net
2. Jeff Kanarish and ATCCommunication.com
3. Radar Contact Podcast by Jeff Kanarish.
4. Pilot Workshops resources at PilotWorkshops.com
5. Opposing Bases Podcast – 2 guys who are both air traffic controllers AND pilots, and they laugh a lot! This is a great resource to hear about real world situations between ATC and pilots, and how to deal with weird or out of the ordinary situations. OpposingBases.com

A big thank you to all the listeners who have sent information and thoughts about home simulators! This is a great way to practice instrument approaches without burning any gas
