Aviation News Talk – Pilot Stories, Safety Tips & General Aviation News

Max talks with Laurence Balter about how the general aviation community in Hawaii is flying relief supplies to help victims of Maui's wildfires. The town of Lahaina is served by just a single road, which has closed frequently since the wildfires began a week ago. Electricity and cell phone outages have also hampered relief efforts. Soon after the fires, local Maui pilots began organizing to fly supplies into Kapalua Airport, near Lahaina, but which is closed to most general aviation flights. The pilots received permission to fly into Kapalua, and began flying relief supplies to the airport. Balter and Maui Brewing founder Garrett Marrero organized the effort via text messages and social media, and flights began on August 11. The pilot group worked with the airport fire departments at Maui's main Kahului Airport. Firefighters and volunteers weighed and loaded supplies that were delivered to the fire station. The process worked in reverse at theKapalua airport, where local fire fighters unloaded planes and helicopters and arranged for the distribution of supplies to local victims in Lahaina. Laurence is flying his relief flights using the Cirrus SR22 that he usually uses for dual-led flying experiences, for pilots vacationing on Maui who are interested in flying a Cirrus and getting exposed to flying in Hawaii. He's also set up a Go Fund me page for people interested in donating to pay for avgas that volunteer pilots have had to pay for to fly the wildfire relief missions.

Choosing a flight instructor is one of the most important decisions you'll make as you work to become a pilot, and later as you work on additional certificates and ratings. And that's because having the right CFI can be one of the biggest factors in your success. Not that you can't succeed with an awful flight instructor, but it's so much easier if you're with the right flight instructor. Most likely, you'll get to choose a new flight instructor multiple times, either because your first flight instructor has moved on, or you've moved to a new location, or you're working on advanced training in some aircraft in which your previous flight instructor doesn't specialize. And the flip side of all of this is firing a flight instructor, which we'll talk about later. Since choosing the right flight instructor is so important, you'll want to give this a lot of thought and not just sign up with the first flight instructor you come across, or your friend, or your employee who's been itching to get you to fly with them. Unfortunately, in some cases, you won't get to choose your flight instructor. If you learn to fly in the military or in a Part 141 school, you probably won't have a choice of flight instructors. Though you will probably end up flying with multiple instructors. And that's a good thing. As every CFI tends to put more emphasis on some things and less emphasis on others. And by flying with multiple instructors, you'll pick up on nuances that your primary instructor never mentioned, or didn't put much emphasis on. Ultimately, when you're working on a pilot certificate, or a new rating or certificate, or transitioning into a new aircraft, you're working to assimilate a body of knowledge to help you become the best possible pilot. Your goal is not just to pass a checkride. Your goal is mastery of the aircraft. And to do that you'll pull from many resources. You'll try to be a sponge and learn as much as you can from books, online courses, and videos. And you'll try to learn something from each of the flight instructors you fly with. Choosing a flight instructor is not a precise science; there's no textbook-like process or formula for choosing that person. Ultimately, it's a subjective process, and that's appropriate, because there's no one flight instructor who's perfect for everyone. A flight instructor who was ideal for a pilot friend of yours… may not be the right one for you for a variety of reasons. Please Support the Show Aviation News Talk is a listener supported show.

Summary 284 The final NTSB report is out for Transair flight 810, which crashed at night in the ocean shortly after takeoff from Hawaii. The pilots thought that they had a rare double engine failure. In fact, they had just a single engine failure, but they left both throttles at idle, dooming the plane. The probable cause said "contributing to the accident were the flight crew's ineffective crew resource management, high workload, and stress." Max talks about the huge distraction that consumed both pilots for a half hour, just moments before they took off.

283 Wings to Rotors: How you can start now to add a helicopter rating to your pilot certificate + GA News Your Cirrus Specialist. Call me if you're thinking of buying a new Cirrus SR20 or SR22.

Summary 283 Max talks about his experience getting a helicopter add-on rating, and how you can do it too. The FAA allows a fixed wing pilot to add-on a helicopter rating with 30 hours of helicopter time. For someone without a pilot certificate, they'll need a minimum of 40 hours of time. The add-on helicopter checkride for a pilot is relatively short compared to the checkride a non-pilot would have to do.

Summary 281 Max talks with Catherine Cavagnaro about the Myth of the 70-50 takeoff rule and what's wrong with it. It seems that 70-50 rule is extracted from a basic but unrealistic model for aircraft takeoffs that ignores air resistance. The same model predicts her Bonanza will go supersonic shortly after takeoff. Even if the rule were valid, a pilot wouldn't rotate until the last inch of the runway.
