It's that time again...now that we're home from Oshkosh, it's time to share this year's edition of Podapalooza.  This was recorded live on EAA Radio on Friday, July 30th, 2010.  Enjoy.

SPC #036-Podapalooza 2010 from Oshkosh

Learning to fly…in front of the world.  A Podcast about flight training. Follow Bill as he progresses through his flight training. This is the audio only feed.  The audio podcasts are NOT the same content as the video podcasts, so if you want all the content, please subscribe to both.  The audio feed is more tied to the student experience, in cockpit training, with a few features and special events.  The video feed includes in-cockpit video sometimes, but is more feature oriented and does not typically coincide as closely with the training.

Today we talk about legacy, and legends of aviation.  I recently found some old audio in the SPC archives from OSH 2011, and it brought me back, got me thinking about the legacy of some of the people we sometimes get to cross paths with.  Some are important to the world and some are important more to us and a few others.  In any case, I wanted to let you guys hear this audio, too.  I hope you like it.  



Some notes from the show.

SPC #66 – Legacy


Welcome back, SPC listeners.  I’m super happy to bring you a chat with Dan Justman from the airplane Owners and Pilots Association, or AOPA, about their program designed to help part 61 students and instructors with their training.



AOPA is trying to tackle what is likely part of the reason so many people quit pilot training before achieving their certificate by organizing the flight training process and making it more transparent and predictable, even in a part 61 setting.  With their AOPA Flight Training Advantage program, or AFTA, they are hoping to make flight training more enjoyable for both the student and the CFI, and make the process a little bit easier, more predictable, and more streamlined…thus saving time, money, and hopefully helping a few additional people earn their certificate.  I hope you enjoy this one.



More information about AFTA can be found here: AOPA Flight Training Advantage – AOPA



There is a demo of the product that will be released shortly as a video episode, but also on our YouTube channel.  Both links will be added below and on the website when published.

SPC #65 – AFTA What?


For this episode I got a chance to talk to Nick Smith from Part Time Pilot, an online private pilot ground school that packs a lot of personalized value into a rather inexpensive service.  Learn about how he’s taking a more personal approach to online training and also learn how to get a discounted price on Part Time Pilot which will last a lifetime.

SPC #63 – OSH22 – The 700 Mile-Long Runway (Samaritan Aviation)


The state of Oklahoma has gotten serious about aviation, STEM education, and the whole aeronautics industry. I talk here briefly with Grayson Ardies, Director of the Oklahoma Aeronautical Commision, about what the state is doing to further aviation education and aeronautics in general in the state. This is the audio version of podcast episode 62, but there is a video version as well in the video feed as episode 6B.
