SPC#78 – Low to High and High Performance – Transitioning


Listen Later

In Episode 78, we go back in time a bit. Back when Bill was a brand new pilot and was transitioning into a couple of new airplanes. The Cessna 182 has become one of my favorites and because it's coming up again for me right now, it got me thinking about my original transition into the 182 and my High Performance endorsement. I explain in the episode why, but I wanted to revisit that training during my transition for a couple of episodes.

This episode also includes a Beyond the Checkride segment where Kent and Bill dive into descent planning for pilots. In this episode, they cover crucial techniques, from using avionics and EFBs to understanding rules of thumb and managing passenger comfort. Whether it's the mathematics involved or leveraging tools like Foreflight, get ready for a some tips on making your descent smooth and safe. Perfect for both seasoned aviators and those just starting their journey. See the video version of the segment here.
