Advanced Ratings Explained (IFR and Commercial): Ep. 95

Now that you’re a Private Pilot, it’s time to consider some of the advanced ratings available to you. Most begin with the Instrument Rating, which allows you to fly in instrument meteorological conditions (IFR) on an instrument flight plan. This is a challenging, yet rewarding rating to achieve! Once you’ve accumulated 250 hrs of flight time, you can qualify for the Commercial Certificate, which allows you to be paid as a pilot for certain jobs under specific regulations. On this episode, we will introduce you to the eligibility requirements and some of the aspects of training you can look forward to.   Download a free copy of the Airman Certification Standards (ACS) for the Instrument Rating and Commercial Certificate: https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/acs     CHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCAST, THE ALOHA 360.

Shipping Our Cessna from the Mainland to Hawaii: The Story of N5055H

We are happy to be back on the Fly Maui podcast after nearly a year break! One of the questions we get a lot is, “How long did it take you to fly your planes over to Maui?” Well, we aren’t great swimmers and we’re scared of sharks, so flying a Cessna 172 from California to Maui isn’t an option.

Interview with Maui Visitor and Student Pilot with John Alpine

John Alpine and his family were spending their usual winter break on Maui when the Covid-19 shutdown went into effect. John decided it would be a good time to renovate and deep clean his condo that’s typically rented out to excited visitors. We asked John to share his thoughts about Maui slowly transitioning into opening back up to visitors. John also shares some of the things he’s learned through the shutdown, including soloing an airplane for the first time!     RESOURCES http://thealoha360.com/ https://ther2h.com/ https://ultimateairmaui.com/ https://www.flymauihi.com/     Want to check out John’s condo for rent?

General Aviation News | Covid-19 Update | Flying in Maui

On April 29 the FAA issued a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) that provides relief to pilots who will want to get back into flying after the coronavirus shutdown. Many flight schools across the country remain closed or operating with limited training, and checkrides have nearly come to a standstill. This SFAR allows some extensions to help support general aviation pilots and instructors who could potentially be economically impacted by a shutdown that was beyond their control.   We’ll walk through some of these new rules on this episode. We’re also going to end on a positive, optimistic note looking to the future when our state opens back up to travelers & some of the cool things you can do in the air if you’re a pilot visiting Maui.   https://www.flymauihi.com/   Read the FAA Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR) document here: https://www.faa.gov/coronavirus/regulatory_updates/media/FAA_SFAR_118_CoVid-19_Relief.pdf     Gain the knowledge you need to pass your Private, Instrument or Commercial FAA written exam, plus “whole picture” learning that will make you a lifelong, safe aviator.

Are Your Bad Habits Becoming Normal? Part 2 with Kerri Ballard

Retired Alaska Airlines Capt. Kerri Ballard joins us to continue our discussion on preventing bad habits while flying. Kerri offers examples and real-life stories from her years of flight instruction and flying for the airlines. What are some of Kerri’s encounters with wake turbulence? What did she consistently see as bad habits in the flight deck? What did she learn from the airlines that she wishes she had known as a flight instructor? We hope the stories and discussion offers inspiration to become a safer pilot.   https://www.flymauihi.com/   Hear more of Kerri’s story on Episode 49: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/life-after-the-airlines-captain-kerri-ballard/id1437686021?i=1000455343531   Gain the knowledge you need to pass your Private, Instrument or Commercial FAA written exam, plus “whole picture” learning that will make you a lifelong, safe aviator.

Are Your Bad Habits Becoming Normal? Part 1

A few months ago on Episode 60 we talked about the PAVE checklist and setting your personal minimums.

On today’s episode, we’re going to dive deeper into how we are trying to challenge ourselves to become safer pilots through decision making and risk management. We’re also taking an honest look at some of our bad habits that we tend to explain away until they become normal operations.

Activities for Pilots During the COVID-19 Pandemic

A lot has happened in the world – it almost seems overnight how drastically our lives have changed, including for many of us as pilots. A large percentage of Americans are now under shelter at home/work at home mandates. Over the last month it’s brought discussion and confusion over what is legal for us as pilots in regards to dual instruction, solo flights, or making the decision to not fly altogether. It’s a hard time for many of us, but we can use this as an opportunity to evaluate and pivot your mindset. Instead of gaining the Covid-15 from eating all your snacks and binging on Netflix, make the most of this forced time at home to make yourself a better, smarter and safer pilot. On this episode we’ll share some of the ways you can expand your knowledge, study and connect in ways that during a “normal” work week you didn’t have the time for.   RESOURCES https://www.flymauihi.com/ https://angleofattack.com/ https://www.mauiflightacademy.com/ https://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/airspace-review-online-course.html https://fly8ma.com/ https://www.aopa.org/training-and-safety/online-learning/online-courses https://www.learnthefinerpoints.com/ https://www.faasafety.gov/wings/pub/learn_more.aspx https://www.ninety-nines.org/ https://www.wai.org/ https://www.wificfi.com/ https://erau.edu/aviation101 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nav-trainer-pro/id427480051 Gain the knowledge you need to pass your Private, Instrument or Commercial FAA written exam, plus “whole picture” learning that will make you a lifelong, safe aviator.
