Ben is back from AirVenture and still hearing the Fisk arrival in his sleep. Two holds around the lakes, a push all the way back to Puckaway, and made it in on the third time, following an RV toward the runway: "I'm just going where he's going, and I hope they clear us to land." The full Oshkosh debrief: the campsite, the meetup with the APG crew, BK the Oshkosh controller, and the departure lesson every IFR pilot should hear (no slot before Oshkosh means no slot leaving it). Brian counters with the BUCKHD THREE arrival into Atlanta and a real-time weather call when the bad stuff showed up early. Plus a big announcement: a live show recorded at McCollum Field (RYY), with food at Elevation Chophouse after. Tape machine from Ash (flying_wheelies), a plea for written reviews (the stars are great, write the words too), Ray B joins at the Land-O-Matic level, and Dev Cannon logs an hour milestone flying his Navion home from Oshkosh.Mentioned on the show:RYY - Cobb County/McCollum Field: https://www.airnav.com/airport/RYYElevation Chophouse: https://www.elevationatlanta.com/Ascension Aviation, RYY FBO: https://ascensionfbo.com/location/atlanta/Ash aka flying_wheelies: https://instagram.com/@flying_wheeliesBen on Airplane Pilot Guy 716, part 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9-jPl9NKqOQBUCKHD THREE arrival for Atlanta: https://www.flightaware.com/resources/airport/KCCO/STAR/BUKHD+THREE+(RNAV)The Flying Reporter - Oceanic Adventure: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcG48Zvp5uCEOpen Source GA - many Oshkosh videos: https://www.youtube.com/@OpenSourceGA/videos

More new pilots, more flying hours, and fewer accidents—that's the positive picture EAA's Tom Charpentier sees when he looks at the latest FAA numbers. He shares how to be an optimist about aviation, why the 1970s are not a fair comparison, and what issues could disrupt the current growth cycle. Tom is deeply involved in EAA's regulatory work, and he explains the importance of FAA orders and what to expect from MOSAIC. In the Ready to Copy segment, Tom talks about his favorite part of AirVenture, flying the Cessna 170, and wilderness canoeing.SHOW LINKS:* EAA Green Dot podcast: https://www.eaa.org/eaa/news-and-publications/eaa-news-and-aviation-news/eaa-the-green-dot-podcast* Article: “How Safe Is It?” https://inspire.eaa.org/2017/05/11/how-safe-is-it/* PJ2 GPS Radio: https://sportys.com/PJ2GPS

This week's ⁠⁠MOSAIC Minute⁠⁠ explains the frequently asked sport pilot question, "How does MOSAIC benefit pilots with a PPL or higher?" And hear from Spirit single seat SE-1 founder Steve Wood, whose crew flew four of the $69,500 single-seat aircraft to from Colorado to AirVenture; plus David and Alicia comment on the ⁠⁠latest aviation news⁠⁠.

Max talks with Cyriel Kronenberg, Vice President of Airports and Air Traffic Management at uAvionix and a volunteer with the Civil Air Patrol's National Radar Analysis Team (NRAT), about one of aviation's most overlooked safety questions: if you survive a crash, how quickly will you be found? How Long Searches TakeCyriel explains that while ADS-B has shortened search times, the reality is sobering. Without a flight plan, overdue aircraft may not even be reported missing for hours. Average search times have historically stretched from 18 hours with a VFR flight plan to more than 60 hours with no plan at all. Even today, two to three hours is considered fast for locating a downed aircraft. ELTs: The Critical DifferenceCyriel stresses the enormous difference between old 121.5 MHz ELTs and modern 406 MHz beacons. The older units provide only a vague signal and are prone to false alarms, often ignored. A properly registered 406 beacon, by contrast, transmits GPS coordinates via satellite, dramatically reducing search times. But here's the catch: as many as half are mis-registered, with outdated or missing phone numbers. That makes even the best ELT nearly useless until rescuers conduct a blind search. Flight Plans, Contacts, and ADS-BFiling a flight plan helps, but only if searchers can reach someone who knows your intended route. Cyriel urges pilots to list an emergency contact not on the aircraft in the remarks section—ideally a spouse, friend, or FBO. While apps like ForeFlight allow pilots to enter contact details, those aren't passed to the FAA. ADS-B provides an even bigger safety net: an aircraft with ADS-B out can usually be pinpointed within yards, while non-equipped aircraft may take days to locate. Survival LessonsCyriel shares personal changes he's made after years of analyzing accidents. He always keeps his cell phone in his pocket so it won't be lost in a violent crash, carries a handheld transceiver tuned to 121.5 MHz, and wears or packs high-visibility gear. He emphasizes staying with the aircraft, since wreckage is easier to spot than a single person. Route planning also matters—flying near highways or populated areas at night increases survivability compared to wilderness routes. Behind the Scenes of NRATMax and Cyriel dive into how NRAT works with the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC). Using radar, ADS-B, and even cell-phone forensics, the team helps determine whether an incident is a false alarm, an accident with no survivors, or a mission where lives can be saved. They coordinate directly with controllers and search crews, sometimes correcting errors in coordinate formats that would otherwise send helicopters to the wrong location. Success Stories and ScaleIn 2024, AFRCC handled nearly 500 aviation missions, with over 200 lives saved. Civil Air Patrol was involved in more than 300 of those missions, while NRAT contributed to 71 cases—directly responsible for dozens of finds and 10 documented saves. Cyriel recalls a dramatic case in Montana where local ADS-B receivers installed by uAvionix employees helped locate a couple who survived a crash into icy water; thanks to quick coordination, a helicopter pulled them out within 20 minutes. Key Takeaways for PilotsCyriel closes with a checklist: Make sure your ELT is registered correctly. Consider adding a personal locator beacon. Use ADS-B out whenever possible. File a flight plan and put a reachable emergency contact in remarks. Carry your cell phone and handheld radio on your person. Stay with the aircraft if you go down. Max underscores the theme: nobody takes off expecting to crash, but hundreds of missions each year prove it happens. With preparation, you can improve your odds not just of surviving the impact, but of being found in time.

Episode 391 Show Notes   Topic of the show: In this episode, RH and AG revisit a recent ATC radar and radio outage to explore why some facilities/pilots can't simply "call Center" when everything fails. They break down the structural differences between co-located and remote sectors and why redundancy didn't work as expected. We also discussed a listener's question about what happens when multiple aircraft are on conflicting courses: who has to move out of the way.   Feedback 1. SGAC Patron AD asks how controllers decide who to move out of the way when a conflict requires the controller to make a move.    AG and RH will be recording a live episode of Opposing Bases at AirVenture 2025, hosted by AOPA! Saturday, July 26 at 10am, AOPA Pavilion.  Join us for a live recording, audience Q&A, and plenty of laughs. After the show, we'll head next door for a Meet & Greet at the AOPA 39 Lounge.

Patron EM asks about visual separation on parallel RNAV approaches. 2. Patron SG shared some great audio of his co-pilot's radio skills.   Mentioned on the show: “For the 6th consecutive year, PilotEdge is hosting SimVenture- a virtual Oshkosh fly-in experience. Using a computer flight simulator, join hundreds of other pilots online and fly the iconic Fisk VFR arrival into Oshkosh a week ahead of the real AirVenture in order to prepare for your actual flight, or just experience the thrill of it for fun. And the best part? The voices you'll hear on the radio aren't just any controllers - they're the real Oshkosh air traffic controllers meaning you'll be getting as close to the real thing as possible, all from the comfort of your home cockpit.   SimVenture is happening July 11-13th on the PilotEdge flight simulator network. The event is free for new users.
