One of the questions we were asked recently on our instrument check rides was, “How do you get your weather?” This is a question that examiners ask on nearly every check ride. It’s something that you as a pilot, or even student pilot, should be able to answer without blinking an eye. A safe pilot will not only gather, but also try to understand the weather along the route of intended flight. On today’s episode we’re going to share what weather resources we use here in Hawaii as well as other options as you develop your own system for this crucial preflight action.

Distractions in flight can be a life-threatening issue. It’s not just the rise in use of cell phones, iPads and GoPros in flight. There are other ways that distractions can creep in and eventually affect the safety of your flight. On Episode 52 we’re going to touch on some of these pilot distractions as a reminder to us all, and also talk about distractions we face overall in flight training.

Our guest today is Andrew Bowman, who is vacationing in Maui this week and agreed to meet up and share about his aviation journey. Andrew flies for American Airlines, but began his career in the Air Force Reserves. It’s a fitting conversation as today is Veteran’s Day! Andrew shares how flying the C-17 has taken him all over the world and eventually led to the opportunity for an interview with American Airlines. He shares practical advice for anyone exploring the military or civilian career route, and demystifies some of the questions that we all have when riding in a commercial airliner.

It’s no secret that flight training is very expensive. Some people are under the impression that if you’re a pilot, then you must be rich! We know that the majority of you, like us, work hard to pay for your training. You may actually work multiple jobs, use your savings, or obtain a loan to finance your training. There is another option that could supplement your flight training costs, and that is an aviation scholarship. On today’s episode we’ll lay out some facts about scholarships, where to find them, and tips on preparing a scholarship application.

Kerri Ballard is a pilot who’s worn many hats in her career: flight instructor, fire bomber, world champion skier, and captain for Alaska Airlines. Like many pilots who’ve gone before us, and even some we’re lucky enough to call mentors and inspirations, the more we get to know Kerri, the more “cool factor” she has. Kerri’s humble heart and expertise is a draw for any young pilot who's lucky enough to meet her. We’re thrilled for her to share part of her story on this week’s episode.

Fueling your own aircraft is actually a simple process that many student pilots learn early in their training. But if you’re like us and trained at a field where others handled fueling for you, it can be a little intimidating the first time you taxi up to a fuel pump and do it yourself. On today’s episode we’re going to walk through the steps of fueling properly and safely.

On last week’s episode we shared some of our initial thoughts and reactions one day after passing our instrument rating check rides. Today, we’re diving deeper into how we prepared for that day beginning with ground school, on to our flight training, then the practical test itself. Whatever level of flight training you’re at, we hope this episode gives some practical tips how to successfully progress through the process. Fly with aloha!

We’ve been absent from the podcast this month, and with good reason. Our focus had to turn to studying and flying getting ready for our instrument check rides, which were yesterday. On today’s episode we’ll give a brief overview of how we approached our instrument training from ground school to check ride prep. We’ll break it down into more detail in future episodes, but as for now, we just wanted to share the good news and initial thoughts. Fly with aloha!
