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 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.

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.
5/13/2020 0 Comments Safety Report : Flying a Missed Approach From A Circling Procedure (Please Distribute) 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
