In this episode, Pilot and Former Transportation Safety Board Lead Investigator Bill Yearwood joins us to explain what the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) is, and shares some of the most common causes of General Aviation accidents. We talk about stall awareness, mountain flying and general attitudes towards aviation.

In this episode we pay our respects to the Canadian Snowbirds, discuss some flights from this week and break down the decision-making process of one of our clients. We also announce an important upcoming interview!
5/20/2020 Cardinal Aviation Audio Briefings Episode #25 (25 Things The Pros Do That You Should Too!)
For episode #25 we have assembled a list from some of our coaches of 25 things that professional pilots do that you should too!
In this episode we discuss some findings from a recent test flight were we went out to examine how the Garmin G1000 would behave during a missed approach from a circling procedure. Our findings were quite surprising and IFR pilots need to hear about it, regardless of your avionics setup! We also discuss the importance of monitoring your AP/FD modes.
In this episode, we give you a quick update on what has been happening with Cardinal Aviation, recognize the accomplishments of one of our clients and coaches and go through a quick review on Circling Approaches.
 Dear Pilots, Please review this report that we have written surrounding best practices for flying a missed approach once a circling procedure has been commenced. Spoiler alert! The ultimate recommendation is to avoid flying a circling procedure if the ceiling is below the final approach (FAF) fix crossing altitude. This report is centred around the pilot's interaction with a Garmin Panel but contains some universally useful information that pilots should be aware of should they find themselves needing to go missed while circling. There are a few things in here that might surprise you, specifically pertaining to the behaviour of the avionics. We aim to give some useful tips and observations to assist pilots in maintaining situational awareness and control of their aircraft during this high workload and complex manoeuvre. Respectfully, Ryan Van Haren Cardinal Aviation 
Whether you fly VFR or IFR, if you fly in controlled airspace readbacks will at some point need to become part of your repertoire. Readback expectations may vary from place to place but the principles remain the same. In this episode, we discuss How to give a full readback, when to give a readback and why readbacks are an important part of pilot controller communications.
