In this episode, I’ll explore what it takes to be an airshow pilot, the level of training and discipline required, and how human factors come into play. More importantly, I’ll discuss how this applies to every pilot, from private and commercial pilots to flight instructors and airline captains. Because no matter what you fly, precision, training, and discipline matter.

The holding point. Sometimes a single yellow solid and dashed line, sometimes a double. There could be flashing lights, stop bars, taxiway signage, or painted markings. Some airports there’s nothing at all! But what do they actually mean, and why is failing to understand or respect them so dangerous?

We’re also going to talk about what it really means when a pilot reports "ready" for departure.

Mayday, mayday, mayday! It’s the call every pilot hopes they never have to make. But when things go wrong, no matter what you’re flying, your training, knowledge, and experience are all that stand between you and possible disaster. Will you rise to the challenge—or become another cautionary tale? And when the dust settles, how will the world judge your actions? Today, we’re talking about the fine line between training and real-world experience… and why pilots should think twice before casting judgment on their peers.
