We’re speaking up… WAY up in this episode - as our host Craig O’Neill welcomes his friend and Certified Flight Instructor (CFI), Austin Brumfield, to the show.

Anyone responsible for training people to do things new will enjoy takeaways from Austin as he emphasises the importance of communicating calm, clear, and accurate when training student pilots.

Also - It’s travel season - and if you’ve followed the news in 2025 - booking a flight can feel a little overwhelming when you see mishaps dominating the headlines.

Austin brings a great deal of perspective to the conversation - acknowledging some of the communication concerns that exist in US airspace - and balancing that with highest respect for the decorum and professionalism that is practiced and trained into the people who make our air ways safe.

Craig met Autstin while taking flight lessons a few years ago - and the two became quick friends. Austin and his wife Evangela are both missionary pilots who are in the process of raising support for their mission to the remote regions of Alaska.
