March 02, 2025 Ep 161 - What do Holding Points Really Mean?
Would you like to know more? Flick me a message!
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.

February 23, 2025 Ep 160 - Training Vs Experience
Would you like to know more? Flick me a message!
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.

January 19, 2025 Ep 156 - Safety Culture in Flying Operations
Would you like to know more? Flick me a message!
We’ve all seen operations manuals, standard operating procedures, and safety management systems (or SMS). These frameworks are the backbone of how we’re supposed to operate. They provide clarity, ensure consistency, and most importantly, protect lives. But here’s the challenge: what happens when these systems are not supported, followed, or enforced? What happens when an organization says all the right things on paper but does the opposite in practice?

No matter how hard we try, or how much we prepare, sometimes things just don’t go our way.

On the 11th of December A Cessna 182T Skylane and a Grumman American AA-5 Traveler, were involved in a ground collision at Pearland Regional Airport in Houston, Texas. There were no injuries.
