Part of the reason we started the Fly Maui and The Aloha 360 podcasts was to leave behind a digital recording of our stories and experiences for our family. We wanted to take some time to sit down with Leslie’s dad, Rick Proctor, and hear some of his flying stories. Today we’re going to hear from him and some of the pilot heritage in Leslie’s family.

The Hana Airport in remote East Maui has become one of our favorite airports to fly into. Although it’s just a 15 minute flight from Kahului, it’s one of the most scenic flights in all of Hawaii. On this episode, we’re recording from the Hana Airport while we’re celebrating an anniversary “staycation” in Hana. Hana has an interesting history, and it’s one of most popular places for visitors to explore while on Maui.

There are many preflight actions that a pilot needs to take before climbing into the aircraft for a flight. On Episode 29 we discussed some of the “why’s” behind the preflight inspection with A&P/IA Dean Showalter. Today, we have Chris Palmer back with us to talk about some of the required preflight action you should be taking as a pilot, before the walkaround even begins. There are 2 acronyms that can help you remember what preflight actions need to be taken to assess yourself and your flight.

Every good pilot has one important tool that’s needed before evening starting the engine – the preflight checklist. From day one of flight training, you’re taught the importance of not only performing, but understanding your preflight inspection. But are there some specific things to look for that aren’t clearly spelled out in your checklist? Today we welcome Dean Showalter to the podcast to walk us through some ideas.

 

Dean is an A&P/IA and pilot himself based at Classic Aviation at the Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport in Virginia. Dean also produces the Airplane Owner Maintenance Podcast, a show that’s informative and valuable for mechanics, airplane owners and even student pilots.

Giving a friend or family member their first ride in a small aircraft is a fun experience, and something pilots look forward to doing. There are many things you can do to make first time flyers more at ease, beyond the required safety briefing. As they get comfortable with the flight, you have a unique opportunity & responsibility to educate and inspire them.  On this episode, we share some of our favorite tips when flying with first-timers & we hear from some of our passengers, Shane & Jessie Perry.

Our son, Jonathan, reached a big training milestone this week. He flew his first solo flight in our Cessna 172 back in Arkansas. We asked Jonathan to join us for this special episode and share about that day and some of the challenges he faced getting to that point in flight training.
