    Textbook emergency on Endeavor 1516 and more on remote towers + GA News

    Textbook emergency on Endeavor 1516 and more on remote towers + GA News

    Max talks about an emergency that occurred earlier in the month as Endeavor flight 1516 departed LaGuardia enroute to Savannah, GA. The controllers and flight crew worked together remarkably well, and there’s a lot that general aviation pilots can learn from their interactions. We also replay an interview from the Plane Crazy Down Under podcast in which they interviewed Mark Robinson, of Frequentis Australasia about remote towers.

    Cirrus SR20 Crash in New Jersey, Remote Towers with Rob Mark + GA News

    Cirrus SR20 Crash in New Jersey, Remote Towers with Rob Mark + GA News

    Max talks with Rob Mark about remote towers, a new technology similar to air traffic control towers, and we discuss why FAA has been so slow to certify them in the U.S., despite successful demonstrations in Virginia and Colorado. Remote towers are in successful operation in other countries. Max also talks about somatogravic illusion how it was most likely the cause of the fatal crash of a Cirrus SR20 that involved a student pilot who crashed at night in NJ, starting an 800 acre wildfire.

    FAA Administrator nominee Mike Whitaker interview

    FAA Administrator nominee Mike Whitaker interview

    Max Trescott talked with FAA Administrator nominee Mike Whitaker in 2019 about his former job as FAA Deputy Administrator. Mike talked about that job, about his activity as a Private pilot and his thoughts on NexGen and the future of General Aviation. Mike talked about factors that led to the decline of GA after the 1970s, and his optimism for further growth due to demand for more pilots, the Part 23 rewrite, and new technologies like electric aircraft. He also talked about NextGen, ADS-B, and his prop strike. This is a replay of that 2019 interview.

Ti C ,

Excellent information

Thoroughly enjoying this podcast! Thanks so much for sharing great content!

Gustavo Durazo ,

Great podcast

I am an aspiring pilot, and have lots of friends who are pilots. My friends are amazed by my knowledge about aviation without being a pilot myself. I review a lot of content from you tube and podcast but feel that your podcast is mainly responsible for all my knowledge. Keep up the good work and never stop!!! Will let you know when my journey starts !!!

BuffBoomer ,

United, assistant chief pilot

You are not someone I’d want to fly 40 years with, or even around the patch.
You made me say a bad word, out loud, several times at the inaneness
of this interview.
You deserved to be booted from the flight with your “1K?” Status.
Should have kept your mouth shut, and relocated yourselves upon reaching cruise.
But no, you wrote the Chief Pilot.
I pulled the plug before you asked about chemtrails and UFO’s👽
Bunch of mewling quims.
