Podcasts about Aviation

Todd Curtis and John Goglia interview Rohan Guskin an aviation enthusiast whose experiences defy his young age. Guskin started flying at age 14 and is now 16. He is still too young to qualify for a pilot's license but that has not stopped him from pursuing his passions. Guskin's experiences inside and outside the cockpit include an ambitious cross-country flight that took him and his instructor from the San Francisco Bay area, down the California coast, and over the ocean to Catalina Island. He describes the detailed preflight planning and the challenges he encountered during the flight.  John and Todd examine with him a study he is conducting of air traffic separation of IFR and VFR aircraft around several California airports. Guskin has also shared his insights with a statewide association of pilots.  Listen as they discuss the broader aviation community and the AIAA AVIATION 2026 conference, which took place in San Diego in June 2026. Next year, after Guskin graduates from high school, he aspires to earn an aerospace engineering degree and become an aviation professional.

Going off on adventures whilst on a layover is a perk of the job as a member of flight crew. Hiking in far away places, taking in vistas you'd never normally see, or maybe skiing up in Big Bear in California...On today's episode of The Red Eye podcast, we hear the true story of a cabin crew member who took the opportunity to ski with the rest of the crew - only to risk not making it back in time to operate the flight home, and possibly leaving hundreds of passengers stranded.Music Credits for Stuck Up a MountainOver the Mountain - Mini VandalsSound Effects by freesound_community from Pixabay  Sound Effect by Semen Surin from PixabaySound Design by Ally MurphySend us a text!

He was a national champion tennis player headed for Wimbledon, then COVID and injury ended that dream overnight. Two years later, Louis Skupien was strapped into a jet suit.  Four years after that, he was breaking the sound barrier twice in an F-16D over Edwards Air Force Base, filming a documentary on the 412th Test Wing and the story behind Auto-GCAS — the system that's saved 13 pilots' lives.  Louis, host of the Talk4 podcast and creator of the Full Throttle documentary series, joins me to talk tennis-to-aviation reinvention, flying with jet-suit inventor Richard Browning, low-level runs down Sidewinder, pulling 9Gs, and what it took to get a foreign national civilian into the backseat of an Edwards test jet.

In this episode we speak with Marc Allen, CEO of Electra.aero, which builds the EL9, a nine-passenger hybrid-electric aircraft that takes off and lands in roughly 150 feet using blown lift and distributed electric propulsion. Marc came from Boeing, where he was chief strategy officer and chaired Wisk, and took the CEO seat from founder John Langford in 2024. Most of the conversation was about whether a fixed-wing airplane can really get into helicopter-sized spaces while keeping the cost and reliability of a conventional airplane. Because the EL9 takes off on a wing at a thrust-to-weight ratio near 0.6 rather than lifting straight up, it keeps the payload and range that vertical-lift aircraft give away, at a fraction of their cost.We also get into the harder questions underneath that case. The EL9 flies its approach below its power-off stall speed, which is close to the aerodynamic definition of powered lift, so we spend time on how it certifies as a conventional airplane under Part 23. We talk about how Electra sequences its three markets, with defense as the near-term launchpad ahead of commercial replacement and then direct aviation, and where the fly-by-wire and blown-lift technology still has to prove itself. Marc is candid throughout about what the aircraft is built to do and what it is not, and about how much rides on getting the EL9 from a flying prototype to a certified product.

Researchers have been trying to make invisible drones and camouflaged robots for years, before that it was cars and planes. They have used everything from transparent materials to light-bending optical systems or cloaks, but haven't been able to make it happen. But now, engineers at Northwestern University have created a drone that appears to vanish in plain sight after it takes flight. The team created the Phantom Twist, a drone that uses a concept called "motion blur" -- the effect that makes fast-spinning fans and propellers look like a ghostly smudge. The drone spins up to 25 times per second, which is too fast for the human eye to see clearly. While it isn't completely invisible, it appears to seamlessly blend into the background. The work could lead to drones that monitor wildlife, survey the environment and inspect infrastructure with less visual disruption.To design the drone, the engineers first used a computational model to generate some 20,000 drone configurations capable of stable flight. Next, they used AI and optimization algorithms to rearrange the drones' major components, including a motor, propeller, circuit board, counterweight and batteries. It was the algorithms that determined the ideal placement of the drone's components to minimize its visibility from virtually every viewing angle while allowing for stable flight. Northwestern's Michael Rubenstein, who led the project, said, "The design process was fully automated ... Then, when we were confident that a drone met all our criteria, we built it."According to the visibility metric, the optimized drone is about 10 times less visually perceptible than a conventional quadcopter.The new drone still has several limitations. For example, the propeller still makes noise, and some wires and support rods are still somewhat visible. Next, the team is working on new iterations with more transparent materials or quieter propulsion to make the Phantom Twist truly disappear.#AI, #Drone, #Drones, #Robotics, #Engineering, #Innovation, #NorthwesternUniversity, #ArtificialIntelligence, #Technology, #STEM, #Automation, #Research, #FutureTech, #Aviation, #Manufacturing

Thinking about upgrading your airplane before you sell it? You could spend thousands and still not get that money back.In this episode of The Malibu Guru Podcast, Joe sits down with Casey Aviation sales specialist Eric Earl to discuss which aircraft upgrades actually improve resale value—and which ones are better left for the next owner.They break down some of the biggest decisions aircraft owners face before bringing an airplane to market, including:• Should you install or upgrade onboard radar?• Is a new propeller worth the investment?• Should you overhaul an engine that is approaching TBO?• Will fresh paint or a new interior help the airplane sell?• Can a modern avionics panel increase value or speed up the sale?• Is it better to simply sell the aircraft as-is?The answer often comes down to timing. Upgrades can make an aircraft more attractive and help it sell faster, but most sellers will not recover the full cost, especially when the improvements are completed immediately before listing.Joe and Eric also explain why owners should consider upgrading earlier, enjoy the improvements during ownership, and bring a more desirable, ready-to-fly aircraft to market later.Are you preparing to sell your aircraft? Let us know which upgrades you are considering in the comments.Casey Aviation can help you evaluate your airplane, price it accurately, and develop a strategy to bring it to market.Learn more about Casey Aviation: www.flycasey.com

President and Senior Financial Planner Paul L. Moffat and Director of Financial Planning Jordan Naffa discuss an often overlooked but critically important topic for pilots and aviation enthusiasts: aviation exclusions in life insurance policies. Prompted by real life client experiences, they explain how certain policy exclusions can dramatically affect coverage and why reviewing insurance contracts before a claim is ever needed is essential.Paul and Jordan walk through what aviation exclusions are, why insurance companies include them, and how underwriting decisions can vary depending on occupation, flight activity, certifications, and policy language. They also discuss the importance of regularly reviewing life insurance, disability coverage, estate planning, and emergency savings as part of a comprehensive financial plan.This episode serves as an important reminder that protecting your family requires more than simply owning a life insurance policy. It requires understanding exactly what your policy covers and what it may exclude.In this episode:● What an aviation exclusion is and why it matters● How life insurance companies evaluate aviation risk● Questions every pilot should ask before purchasing or renewing coverage● Why policy language varies between insurance carriers● The importance of reviewing coverage after career or lifestyle changes● How disability insurance, estate planning, and emergency savings complement life insurance● Why proactive planning can prevent costly surprises during a claimThe opinions expressed in this podcast are for general purposes only and are not intended to provide specific advice or recommendations for any individual or on any specific security.

Today we’re talking about something that can literally save lives, protect equipment worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, prevent product damage, eliminate downtime, and even set you up for success outside the warehouse. It’s called the pre-trip. Now, I know what some of you are thinking, Yeah, yeah check the forklift and move on. But today I want to challenge that thought. A pre-trip isn’t just paperwork, and it's not something regulatory agencies dreamed up to slow us down. It’s one of the greatest habits successful people ever develop. I'm Marty with Warehouse and Operations as a Career. And I thought we'd look at the pretrip a little differently today.   Aviation, railroads, trucking and manufacturing all adopted inspection checklists because investigations repeatedly showed that many accidents weren’t caused by equipment failures, they were caused by failures to discover problems before using the equipment.  Our pre-trip really answers only four questions. Is it safe? Is it operational? Is it legal? And am I ready? That simple framework works for every machine in the building. And as we'll learn in a few minutes several other positions!   Think about one of the most talked about pieces of equipment. The counterbalance forklift. We'll check out the forks, mast, chains, and look for any hydraulic leaks. We'll inspect the tires, the steering and brakes, seat belt, horn, backup alarm, lights, the capacity plate, LP tank or battery and our overhead guard.   Another biggie is the Reach Truck. We'll have a few more things to check here like the load wheels and outriggers, the reach mechanism, joy stick or lever controls, more hydraulic hoses, the battery connection and stability.   Let's see, we don't have to hit them all but I did want to talk about a few or our more common ones. I'll skip these, let's see, oh here, the Rider Pallet Jack. Many people underestimate the pallet jacks. First up, the belly button reverse switch, its brake operation and plugging, the fork tips, the drive wheel, its battery, steering arm, and horn. How many foot injuries have you seen here because operators become too comfortable? I hope we'd all agree that even one is too many right?   And the Floor Scrubber. People laugh until it floods an aisle. We'll need to Inspect things like the squeegee, pads, brushes, the water tanks, and the recovery tank. And its battery, warning lights and dashboard.  A bad scrubber creates slip hazards instead of removing them.  Oh, and I wanted to mention the cardboard and shrink wrap Baler. We need to check the emergency stop, safety gate, interlocks, and look for any hydraulic leaks, and inspect the chains and door latches. The most dangerous baler isn’t the broken one. It’s the one someone bypassed something on.  And of course, any type of Manufacturing Equipment will need a pre-trip, checking the guards, emergency stops, sensors, air pressure, lubrication points, tooling, and the product path. The first product shouldn’t be the test piece. The inspection should be.  And there's dozens and dozens of other pieces of equipment or machines. Like our conveyor systems, the yard jockey, another important piece is the clamp attachment and slip sheet attachment. Pretrips are a must for all of them.   So, what if you don’t operate equipment? Guess what? I think you still need a pre-trip.  What if you're an Office Employee? I feel you should be asking yourself. Do I have today’s priorities? Laptop? Chargers? Calendar? Checking for my Meetings? Deadlines? Did I answer yesterday’s emails?  Or if I'm a Recruiter? Have I prepared Today’s interviews? Applicants confirmed? Backgrounds complete? Job descriptions ready? Do I know the Hiring managers expectations?  And I think there’s a few questions every associate can pretrip themselves with.  Our minds deserve a pre-trip too. Am I distracted or tired? Am I frustrated or am I bringing yesterday’s problems into today’s shift? Those questions may be more important than checking tire pressure.  The pre-trip isn’t about checking things off on a sheet of paper or program. It’s about respecting what could happen if you don’t. Professionals don’t inspect their stuff because they expect something to be wrong. They inspect because they refuse to be surprised.   We all know that most accidents don’t begin with the accident itself. They begin with a decision. I’m in a hurry, I’ll check it later, It worked fine yesterday, or It’ll probably be okay.  Every incident investigation, insurance claim, equipment failure, damaged product, or near miss has a starting point. Many times, that starting point was someone choosing not to spend five minutes looking over their equipment.  A pre-trip isn’t just looking for what’s broken. It’s looking for what’s changing. That tire that’s lost a little air. The hydraulic hose beginning to rub against the roller. A chain that’s becoming loose. A battery cable that’s starting to fray. Problems rarely appear all at once. They grow little by little. The pre-trip is our opportunity to catch them while they’re still small.  And we need to remember that finding a problem isn’t the end of the pre-trip. It’s actually the beginning. We may need to Lock it  Out and Tag it Out. Or remove our favorite piece of equipment from service, and notify supervision, calling maintenance and using another truck if available. Professionals understand production never comes before safety.  A pre-trip protects People, Product, Customers, our Buildings, the Company’s reputation, our Production schedules, Inventory accuracy, Budgets, and well, our Careers.   Ok, I need to get back to work myself but tomorrow morning, No matter what your job is, let’s Perform a pre-trip. Not because someone tells you to. But because professionals prepare before they perform. Inspect your equipment or machine. Inspect your workspace. And look over your schedule. Let’s check our attitude and our priorities. Inspect your day. Success rarely depends on what happens after productivity starts. It depends on what you did 5 minutes before that time.   So, I won't go on and on here. We hear about the pretrip every day, I hope we put a different spin on it today and gave you a little different way to look at it. Yall be safe out there, in both your personal and professional lives. 

A cargo Boeing 737 plunges into the Arabian Sea. A seaplane crashes near Manhattan but everyone survives. And an executive jet narrowly misses an unidentified silver object at 16,000 feet. In this episode of Flight Safety Detectives, aviation safety experts John Goglia and Todd Curtis examine three recent aviation events and explain what they reveal about today's aviation safety challenges. The episode begins with the tragic crash of a K2 Airways Boeing 737-400 cargo aircraft that departed Sharjah, UAE, bound for Karachi, Pakistan. The airplane entered a steep dive and crashed into the Arabian Sea, killing all five people on board.  John reviews the aircraft's long operational history—including its years flying for Aeroflot—and discusses how the aircraft's age, cargo operation, and the limited public attention to the accident could affect the investigation and what we ultimately learn from it. John and Todd then turn to the July accident involving a Kodiak 100 seaplane operating near Manhattan. The aircraft suffered a hard landing that appeared to collapse one of its floats. Everyone on board survived without serious injury.  Todd analyzes passenger video from the accident, highlighting what it reveals about the forces involved, the importance of floatplane emergency preparedness, and why several passengers appeared unsure where to locate their personal flotation devices. The episode concludes with a discussion of a mysterious near miss involving an executive jet flying near New York that encountered an unidentified silver object at approximately 16,000 feet. Todd highlights the need for additional information and what questions investigators still need to answer. Join John and Todd as they separate facts from speculation, explore what investigators know so far, and explain the aviation safety lessons emerging from these recent events. ✈️ Subscribe for expert analysis of aviation accidents, incidents, and the safety issues affecting pilots, airlines, mechanics, and passengers worldwide.   Don't miss what's to come from the Flight Safety Detectives - subscribe to the Flight Safety Detectives YouTube channel, listen at your favorite podcast service and visit the Flight Safety Detectives website.

Dr. Alan Castel, PhD, is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and one of the world's foremost experts on human memory and cognitive aging. We discuss what science actually tells us about how to improve our learning ability and memory at any age. We also discuss how memory works, why all planning and imagination about the future is based on the past, false memories, and how to leverage curiosity, emotion, and self-testing retrieval practice to stamp in memories for the long term. We discuss what "superagers"—people who actually improve their cognitive capacity with age—do differently than everyone else. This episode is for anyone interested in the science of memory and tools to maintain and improve your memory across the lifespan.

The path towards electric aviation is not an easy one. On this podcast we have talked on previous occasions about some of the challenges it faces, from getting batteries with enough energy density to setting up a supply chain from scratch.One area we have so far - until now, at least! - paid little attention to is that of ground infrastructure.Our guest for this episode, Dr. Stefan Breunig, is the co-founder and managing director of Albatross, a German company that is working precisely in this space.The electric aviation revolution will need to get supplied by a reliable stream of green electricity, but it also represents an opportunity for airports and other players in the aviation ecosystem to develop new lines of business which stretch well beyond aviation.Can airports become green electricity hubs? What are the challenges the industry faces on this front, in Germany and elsewhere?Tune in for a fascinating conversation with one of Europe's top electric aviation experts!

Private aviation is no longer serving the same buyer, the same use case, or the same expectation set that it was built around twenty years ago. The old assumption was simple: private aviation was mainly for the already-initiated: aircraft owners, experienced charter users, corporate flight departments, or people who already understood the difference between aircraft categories, operating models, and access options. That market still exists, but a new buyer is entering the industry with a very different set of questions. They are wealthier, often younger, more digitally fluent, more time-sensitive, and in many cases completely new to private aviation. That is where the jet card model becomes more than a product. It becomes a bridge between commercial aviation frustration, fractional ownership, charter, corporate flying, and the growing demand for flexible, predictable private aviation access. In this episode, I'm joined by the CEO of Sentient Jet, Alan Walsh. We discuss how one of the original jet card companies is adapting to a changing private aviation market. We talk about how Sentient is thinking about AI, digital transformation, changing demographics, 135 lift, sustainability, World Cup demand, aircraft preferences, and why the future of private aviation may be less about luxury and more about utility, access, and time. What You'll Discover In This Episode Why the jet card model remains attractive for new entrants who want private aviation access without aircraft ownership or long-term asset commitment How Sentient Jet is balancing digital convenience with a high-touch service model that still depends on human relationships Why Alan Walsh sees AI as an operational efficiency tool, not a replacement for client-facing service How private aviation demand is being shaped by commercial aviation disruption, reduced regional routes, and the need for better time control Why new private aviation users often need education before they need a sales pitch How changing wealth demographics are bringing younger, more digitally native buyers into the market Why bigger, newer, longer-range aircraft remain in demand and what that means for operators and aircraft availability How major events like the World Cup create sustained, multi-leg private aviation demand across several weeks Why sustainability is becoming a more visible consideration for private aviation customers What the industry may look like as technology, vertical integration, and more individualized access models continue to evolve     About the Guest Alan Walsh is the President of Sentient Jet, where he is responsible for the overall growth, innovation, and success of the business. He has led the development and transformation of Sentient's service organization while also helping shape the future of Owner Services at Flexjet. Alan has spent his career at the intersection of customer success, strategy, and client experience. He brings a customer-centric mindset and a strong track record of driving large-scale business, operational, and digital transformation across growth, M&A, turnaround, and AI-enabled strategy. Known for building high-performing teams and using data to improve customer outcomes, Alan brings a strategic view of how private aviation is evolving, from changing customer expectations and digital access to service consistency, safety, and the continued role of the jet card model in the market.

Welcome back to the Hangar Z Podcast brought to you by Vertical HeliCASTS and in partnership with Valor Plus. Today's episode is a special collaboration with our friends from the Valor Flight Crew Podcast, and we're tackling a topic that impacts every one of us in aviation — fatigue. Joining us for this outstanding panel discussion are the hosts of the Valor Flight Crew Podcast, Mike Fadale and Blake Shrider. We are also honored to welcome a highly respected aviator with decades of experience, former HEMS pilot Woody McClendon. Fatigue is truly the danger you can't see. Unlike weather, mechanical issues, or other operational hazards, fatigue can quietly affect our judgment, decision-making, situational awareness, and overall performance long before we recognize its impact. Whether you're a pilot, TFO, crew member, mechanic, dispatcher, or supervisor, fatigue affects all of us. And in public safety aviation, the demands of shift work can make managing fatigue an even greater challenge. The reality is that fatigue is not a possibility — it is an inevitability. The question is not if fatigue will contribute to an incident or accident in public safety aviation, but when. That is why open and honest conversations like this one are so important. In this episode, we'll discuss safety initiatives designed to mitigate fatigue, the role of flight risk assessment tools, crew readiness, organizational responsibility, and personal accountability. Most importantly, our panel shares real-world experiences and lessons learned from careers spent operating in demanding environments where fatigue was often a constant factor. This is a candid, informative, and thought-provoking discussion that every aviation professional should hear. So settle in and join us as we explore one of the most significant — and often overlooked — threats to aviation safety. This is the Hangar Z Podcast in collaboration with the Valor Flight Crew Podcast, and the conversation starts right now. Read the related article by Tania Glenn - Sleep Under Stress in the Spring 2026 issue of Valor Plus.Thank you to our sponsors Metro Aviation, Robinson Helicopter and SHOTOVER Systems.

“The plane started to swerve away from the boardwalk, flipped perpendicular to the ground, and crashed into a small hill near the river, wing first,” wrote Ian Chen. “Later my family figured that the pilot swerved away so he would not endanger the lives of the people on the ground, which also included my mom.” “I realize Mr. Wright really spared the lives of the people on the ground,” wrote Mei-Ling Chen. “It must (have been) really hard for him to make that decision that final moment. I'm writing this letter to let you know (what) an honorable man he was. Our family is very grateful for his actions.” (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/1207sp-heroic-final-flight-of-jim-wright-howard-hughes-racer-plane.html)
