Aviation Data & Analytics
We have the pleasure of hosting Courtney Miller to discuss aviation data and analytics. Courtney is a fellow aviation podcaster (Time on Wing Podcast) and owner of Visual Approach Analytics.
Listen closely to our trivia round, where we asked Courtney about the “Whisperliner”, a U.S. airline European hub, and other topics. Is Courtney in the running to be our trivia champion? -
Air Traffic Control
We’re cleared for takeoff as we discuss Air Traffic Control with Richard Kennington, a controller at Portland International Airport (PDX / KPDX).
Learn about the various air traffic control facilities, what characteristics make for a good air traffic controller, the paths to becoming a controller in the United States, and so much more.
And, from "Freedoms of the Air", to 767’s, and cargo in between, hear how Richard did in the Trivia Challenge, and see if you would have beat him. -
Aircraft Seating
A key contributor to the passenger experience, we sit down with Antonio Ficca from Expliseat to talk about . . . seats.
From seat innovation to whether the industry will evolve beyond "lifting the metal buckle", Antonio shares his insights and passion.
We “wing” it in this week’s Trivia Round, from speedbird to the Theme Building too, hear how Antonio did. How would you have fared? -
Aircraft Leasing
Why do airlines lease airplanes? What are wet and dry leases? Learn this and so much more about aviation leasing from Tony Santos.
From # configured runways, to airlines that arrive and depart with one word, hear how Tony did in the Trivia Challenge! -
Airport Management
How do airports make revenue? Is the airport responsible for your lost bags? Learn this and so much more about airport management with our guest Marty Lenss.
From his first flight in 7th grade, to now overseeing the Eastern Iowa Airport (CID), listen in to how Marty got into the business of airports.
And, from a couple of dashes, to the world famous salmon strike, listen to hear how Marty did in the Aeropedia Trivia Challenge. -
Simulator Flight Training
Listen in as we learn the fascinating ins and outs of aircraft flight simulators and training from our guest Marika Dwyer.
While every #AvGeek dreams of installing one of these functioning airliner cockpit replicas in their garage, Marika explains how airlines use them, and the diversity of roles that keep a flight training center operating smoothly.
How do you think Marika did in our Trivia Challenge? We threw her a tip (wing tip that is) and some acronym soup, so be sure to listen in!
