Aviation is a cyclical industry. In 2020 we have gone from having a pilot shortage to a massive surplus with aircraft parked due to COVID19. Pilots who had a relatively easy entry into the aviation industry are for the first time needing to find ways to sell themselves rather than their flight time. Join Owen and Ryan as they talk about the importance of networking and how it is a crucial skill, both when jobs are booming and when they are a bust.

6/8/2020 0 Comments Flying BC Podcast: Helmets in Flight (Discussing Safety in Warbirds & GA Aircraft with Steve Thorne, Kevin Maher & Ryan VH)
"You know, it would be embarassing to get out of an upside-down SuperCub with a bent-up prop and a scuff on my helmet. But it would be better than not getting out and having to pull me out and waking up three months later with a brain injury." - Steve Thorne, Flight Chops
If you're a fan of Flight Chops on YouTube, you may have recently seen an episode about helmets and his first flight in the Harvard wearing one. On this episode of Flying BC I catch up with Steve for a follow-up now that he's flown with it a few more times. And I also bring Kevin Maher and Ryan VH on board to expand on the idea of whether we should be wearing helmets while flying. Even if you don't think you'll ever wear one, this episode has some great discussion about safety and survival that is worth a listen. (Also features Jeremy from TacAero's original story from Flight Chops) 6/6/2020 0 Comments Cardinal Aviation Audio Briefings Episode #29 (Weather Flying, Deviations & Block Altitudes)
In this episode, we talk about a recent flight around a large area of convective activity and provide some tips on how you can work with ATC to stay safe.
