The Closed Traffic Podcast is pleased to have PilotEdge on the podcast for the first time! We sit down with Kevin to discuss the phenomenal virtual air traffic control and pilot network and the infamous SimVenture event. The procedures for PilotEdge’s SimVenture event are nearly identical to EAA’s actual AirVenture event thus giving pilots an incredibly realistic experience of flying into and out of Oshkosh!

Check out the episode and the PilotEdge network along with additional details regarding the SimVenture event.

We'll have to reschedule the episode with Hype Performance for a later date, however, the show goes on! We were joined by Mark from Flysimware and what a show this was. Mark walked us through his background of creating flight sim products from as far back as FS9 and spent even more time walking us through the recently released public beta of the Cessna 414AW. The plane is flat-out phenomenal my friends, Mark even took us through some of the renderings with a screen share in rea-time and then capped us off with quite the surprise.

As always, you can catch the live replay of the show via the links below.

We had the pleasure of sitting down with the one and only Big Ern! As many of you know, Ernie is a current Southwest Pilot and recruiter for the airline whose love for aviation runs deep! You may know him from his increasingly popular YouTube channel "FlyingwithBigErn" where he takes viewers through the day-to-day operations of an airline pilot, workout regimen, and occasional GA action in his gorgeous Cirrus SR22 G6, "The Green Hornet".

Ernie dropped a ton of knowledge for us and our viewers, especially the need to have continued awareness and support for those battling mental health issues, pilots in particular.

As always, feel free to leave us feedback, much appreciated!
