    Show reflections | A "midlife crisis" and looking back on progress

    Did you know that the typical life expectancy for an indie podcast is 2-3 years? We are about to pass that threshold, 4 years to be exact, that is double the indie podcast lifespan! On this episode, we look back at the “mid-life crisis” of the show, take a look back at some of our most charted episodes, and what new goals for which we should shoot.

    Lack of Voice | Why aircraft mechanics are rarely heard of

    Lack of Voice | Why aircraft mechanics are rarely heard of

    When you hear things about aviation, if it is positive, it will most likely be about pilots and supersonic jets. Rarely will you hear about aircraft mechanics…why is that? On this episode we explore why aircraft mechanics are virtually invisible outside of the normal rings of awareness and what can we do about it.

    Manuals Madness | Are manual subscriptions a safety issue?

    Manuals Madness | Are manual subscriptions a safety issue?

    We’ve stressed throughout our podcast that every bit of aircraft maintenance should be done in accordance with the proper maintenance manuals. We’ve further stressed that not following procedures via the manuals can lead to severe repercussions up to but not limited to losing your certification and/or causing a catastrophic incident. But what if you don’t have updated manuals, or worst yet you don’t have access to them because they are too expensive for you to get it? In today’s episode, we discuss why this is a safety issue and what could possibly be done about it.

    Scrapyard Stories | A small recollection of stuff that comes out the boneyard

    One might think that once an aircraft hits the scrapyard it is the end of its life. Amazingly, this may not always be true. For today’s episode, we recollect stories about how some aircraft found new life after the scrapyard.
