Dieser Fall kann einen fassungslos machen: Am 22. Mai 2020 stürzte in Karachi ein Airbus A320 von Pakistan International ab. Flug PK 8303 von Lahore hatte wenige Minuten vor dem Absturz in eine Wohnsiedlung nahe des Flughafens von Karachi bereits eine Bauchlandung auf der Landebahn gemacht und war durchgestartet. Vorangegangen war eine Verkettung von Regelbrüchen und elementaren Verstößen gegen basale Kommunikationsregeln im Cockpit. Bei diesem Absturz starben insgesamt 98 Menschen, davon ein Mädchen, das sich in einem der Häuser befand, in die der Airbus stürzte.Wir sprechen in dieser Folge über die unterschiedlichen Wege im Landeanflug Höhe und Energie abzubauen, über die Checklisten und Standard-Verfahren vor der Landung, über Fliegen während des Fastenmonats Ramadan und natürlich über die traditionsreiche Fluggesellschaft Pakistan International.Für die neue Folge haben Benjamin Denes und Andreas Spaeth einen von nur zwei überlebenden Insassen interviewt, den Bankier Zafar Massud. Er hat seine Erlebnisse im Memoir "Seat 1C" festgehalten: https://www.amazon.de/Seat-1C-Survivors-Resilience-Renewal-ebook/dp/B0DXV1L41JPilotenexperte ist diesmal wieder Sebastian Thoma, der selbst Host des ATCPILOT-Podcasts (zusammen mit Nils Menßen) ist: https://open.spotify.com/show/1BOVCvRfsmpnAO30x0wUseWir konnten auch mit dem Aviation-YouTuber Josh Cahill sprechen, der nur wenige Wochen nach der Katastrophe mit PIA geflogen ist und die Absturzstelle in Karachi gesehen hat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQbfXyWxgFkDas ist die Wunschfolge der First Class-Patrons, der Vorschlag kam von Marcel Kühntopf.

Diese Folge ist ein kleiner Jahresrückblick aus dem Cockpit: Was ist wirklich passiert, was hat uns fliegerisch weitergebracht – und was nicht. Wir sprechen über persönliche Highlights wie Alpen- und Italienflüge, den frisch abgeschlossenen PPL, neue Musterberechtigungen und das, was unterwegs gelernt wurde. Dazu ein klarer Blick auf die Community: Hörerreisen nach Italien, AirLovers in Hildesheim, Live-Podcast von der AviatorsFarm. Inhaltlich dominieren Abenteuer im Ausland, aber auffällig oft auch Flugsicherheit – von Just Culture über CO im Cockpit bis Fatigue und Wetter. Ohne Pathos. Am Ende ein realistischer Ausblick: Unsere bevorstehend Hörerreise nach Schweden, unsere PPL+ Community und was wir uns 2026 vornehmen.
If you grew up thinking adulthood meant “figure it out once and then coast,” this episode is your loving wake-up call. Reinvention isn't a plot twist anymore — it is the plot. Careers shift, relationships change, industries get AI'd, and your dreams evolve faster than your LinkedIn headline. In this conversation, I sit down with Ilana Golan — F-16 flight instructor turned tech exec turned founder & CEO of Leap Academy, a career reinvention platform that helps driven professionals leap into leadership, entrepreneurship, and portfolio careers. We talk about what it actually takes to reinvent yourself (again and again), build a portfolio career that doesn't burn you out, and turn your hardest seasons into rocket fuel instead of reasons to shrink. Because staying stuck isn't a personality trait. It's a habit. And you're allowed to outgrow it. In This Episode, We Cover: Reinvention as a life skill, not a crisis – why you'll need to reinvent every 1–2 years in today's world, and how to stop making that mean you did something wrong. IQ, EQ, and now AQ (Adaptability Quotient) – the new metric that matters Breadcrumbs & clues – how to spot your zone of genius in the patterns, feedback, and “random” skills you've picked up along the way. From failure to fuel – how Ilana rebuilt after being kicked out of her own company, and how to move from spiral to experiment when life blows up. The 5 days / 5 weeks / 5 months framework – a simple, non-scary way to test new directions without burning your life to the ground. Portfolio careers 101 – what they are, why one job won't meet all your needs, and how to add new income/impact streams without looking like a confused hot mess. Stability and possibility – how to choose a “baseline” role or revenue stream so you feel safe enough to play, experiment, and leap. Reinvention after rejection, grief, or trauma – why you can't tell your story from the open wound, and how to move from bleeding to scar to superpower. Because the moment you stop chasing the life you think you should want, you finally make space for the one that was meant for you all along. Thank you to our sponsors!

Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland Thema heute: Opel zeigt Details von neuem Opel Astra und Astra Sports Tourer 2025 feierten die neuen SUV-Modelle von Opel Mokka über Opel Frontera bis zu starken neuen Varianten des Opel Grandland Electric ihren Marktstart – 2026 ist der Opel Astra an der Reihe. Auf der Brüssel Motor Show vom 9. bis 18. Januar 2026 feiern der neue Opel Astra und der neue Opel Astra Sports Tourer ihre Weltpremiere – Details des weiterentwickelten Erfolgsmodells „made in Germany“ zeigt Opel schon heute. Zu den Highlights des neuen Auftritts zählen der erstmals beim Astra beleuchtete Opel-Blitz an der Front, das adaptive blendfreie Intelli-Lux HD Licht und die serienmäßigen Intelli-Sitze mit ergonomischer Vertiefung. Astra-Premiere 1: Weiterentwickelter Opel Vizor mit beleuchtetem Opel-Blitz Das charakteristische Markengesicht, der Opel Vizor, erscheint schmaler und noch präziser gestaltet. In seiner Mitte sitzt ab sofort der beleuchtete Opel-Blitz, der als Erkennungszeichen beim Top-of-the-Line-SUV Grandland Premiere feierte. Das zentrale, nun illuminierte Markenemblem bildet zugleich den Ausgangspunkt für die horizontal bis in die Scheinwerfer und vertikal bis in die Bügelfalte der Motorhaube verlaufenden Lichtleisten. Hier lehnt sich das Design an den Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo an. Astra-Premiere 2: Intelli-Lux HD Lichttechnologie mit über 50.000 Elementen Einzigartig in der Kompaktklasse ist die Lichttechnologie, die im neuen Astra zu beiden Seiten des Opel Vizors zum Einsatz kommt. Hier stand ein weiteres Mal der Opel Grandland Pate: Denn ab sofort ist das innovative Intelli-Lux HD Licht auch für Astra und Astra Sports Tourer verfügbar. Die adaptiven, blendfreien Scheinwerfer verfügen über mehr als 50.000 Elemente und schneiden vorausfahrende sowie entgegenkommende Verkehrsteilnehmer noch schneller und präziser aus als die bisherigen Matrix-Licht-Technologien. Zugleich lässt sich der Lichtkegel vor dem Fahrzeug komplett digital anpassen, so dass dieser den Blickwinkel des Fahrers in Kurvenfahrten ganz intuitiv entlang der Fahrbahn führt. Astra-Premiere 3: Top-Komfort mit serienmäßigen Intelli-Sitzen ab Einstiegsversion Der neue Auftritt, der den Astra auf das nächste Level hebt, schlägt sich genauso auch im Innenraum wieder. Hier können sich Astra-Fahrer und -Passagiere über ein noch klarer gestaltetes Cockpit sowie ein Plus an Komfort freuen. So bietet der neue Astra in jeder Variante noch mehr Sitzkomfort als zuvor. Schon ab der Einstiegsversion sind künftig die eigens bei Opel entwickelten und erstmals für den Astra verfügbaren Intelli-Sitze serienmäßig an Bord.

Die fünfte Generation des 3er ist gerade 20 geworden – und damit rein technisch betrachtet ein Youngtimer. Mit ihr wurde der 320i zum Vierzylinder und der M3 zum V8. Der 335i mit Dreiliter-Reihensechser und Doppelturbo schloss die Lücke zwischen 330i und M3, während der 335d den Diesel vom Schimpfwort zum Kraftausdruck machte. Der Allradantrieb feierte, als xDrive sein Comeback und das fahrerbezogene Cockpit entfiel. Für die Bedienung von Navi, Klima und Radio führte BMW sein iDrive-System zudem erstmals im 3er ein. Doch reicht das alles zum Liebhaben? Diese Frage klären in dieser Folge Frank Otero Molanes, Jens Seltrecht und Dirk Ramackers.

Heute mal Studio-Flair auf Reisen: Wir sitzen auf dem Auto Motor und Sport Kongress – und haben uns einen Gast geschnappt, bei dem es beim letzten Mal schon ordentlich geknistert hat. Maria Anhalt, CEO von Elektrobit, ist zurück im Moove-Podcast und bringt eine volle Ladung Zukunftsthemen mit. Was hat sich seit ihrem letzten Besuch verändert? Warum klopfen plötzlich Sony, Foxconn und andere Tech-Riesen bei Automotive-Software-Spezialisten an? Und was verstehen wir eigentlich wirklich unter „Software im Auto“? Maria räumt auf mit Missverständnissen und erklärt Elektrobits SDV-Level-Modell: von „Software Enabled“ bis zur Innovationsplattform. Spoiler: Viele Hersteller hängen irgendwo zwischen Update-fähig und Upgrade-tauglich fest – und genau da wird's teuer. Wir reden über den nötigen Plattform-Sprung, Hardware/Software-Entkopplung, API-Economy und die Frage nach einem gemeinsamen Automotive-Betriebssystem. Danach wird's Open-Source-konkret: Eclipse S-CORE, Linux, Android Automotive – Chancen, Chaos und warum Standardisierung trotzdem alternativlos ist. Zum Schluss geht der Blick nach China und in die KI-Kristallkugel: SDV-Prognosen bis 2030, Innovations-Speed und wie GenAI- und Agenten-Workflows die Softwareentwicklung im Auto neu takten können – bis hin zu offenen KI-Interfaces im Cockpit. Viel Spaß beim Hören (oder Sehen) – und schreibt uns eure Fragen wie immer!
Leute, diesmal sind wir mit dem Fichtenelch von Dortmund an den Tegernsee geflogen, um in Ulis Ehebett den Tod der tausend Lampen zu sterben. Mit uns im Cockpit saß dabei, wie kann es anders sein, auch Aki Watzke. Kanzler-Kumpel und Privat-Pilot, der als Vielflieger unbedingt noch eine Ehrenrunde drehen wollte. Und obwohl 41 Prozent von uns dagegen waren, ihn mitzunehmen, überzeugte uns am Ende vor allem der Inhalt seiner Mystery Box, darin auch ein Schlagring aus Rheinmetall. Als Dankeschön lud der Sonnenkönig zur Homestory in seinen Palast im Sauerland, wo wir gemeinsam im Familien-Album blättern durften. Bisschen MTV-Cribs für Männer, die mit dem Zeigefinger swipen. Bisschen Foto-Lovestory für alle, die Sprechblasen lieben. So offenbarte sich ein Mann, der trotz seiner fast eitrigen Eitelkeit seit ein paar Tagen ungern in den Spiegel schaut. Wie dem auch sei, er ist jetzt auch unser Präsident. Er hat uns mit Dauerkarten gefügig gemacht. Und wer sich jetzt, nach diesem Tanz auf dem Turboprop, nicht ganz zu Unrecht fragt, ob es denn gar nicht um den schönen Fußball ging, um die Zocker, Gauner und die Tiki-taka-Fohlen, der sollte unbedingt ganz hinein hören. In diese neue Folge. FUSSBALL MML - denn alles andere ist nur Blendwerk mit Blitztabellen. Viel Spaß!

This episode of The Logbook, our History of Motorsport series, explores the delayed adoption of seat belts in Formula One racing. Preston Lerner discusses the late 1960s and early 1970s safety measures, focusing on Dr. Michael Henderson's role in debunking the myth that escaping a crash unbelted was safer. Henderson's innovative six-point harness design, inspired by aviation, eventually led to universal adoption despite initial resistance from top drivers like Jimmy Clark. The narrative also covers the political and technological barriers to safety improvements in racing, concluding with the tragic deaths that underscored the need for regulatory change. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 The Early Days of Racing Safety 00:41 The Myth of Escaping the Cockpit 00:51 Michael Henderson's Contributions 01:58 The Adoption of Seat Belts in Racing 02:39 Formula One's Safety Evolution 04:50 Technological Advances and Safety 06:55 The Role of Politics in Racing Safety 21:44 The Tragic Deaths and Their Impact 28:00 Conclusion and Acknowledgements ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram This episode is part of our HISTORY OF MOTORSPORTS SERIES and is sponsored in part by: The International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC), The Society of Automotive Historians (SAH), The Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Argetsinger Family - and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.

Dr. Tom Furness—esteemed as the “Grandfather of VR”—brings seven decades of breakthrough invention, untold stories, and rare wisdom to the AI XR Podcast. In this episode, Tom traces the thread from making rocket fuel as a kid in North Carolina to pioneering the “Super Cockpit” for the Air Force, founding the HIT Lab, and launching 27+ spatial computing startups. His journey reminds us that big shifts in XR and AI are really about one thing: boosting the bandwidth between the brain and information.Listen as Charlie and Ted tease out practical lessons from Tom's career—how head-mounted displays and real-time simulation grew from a Pentagon skunkworks project to tools for pilots, surgeons, first responders, and kids who learn differently. Tom reveals how the “cockpit problem” was never about adding more gadgets, but about human-centered design—and why the next revolution in XR depends on soft skills, not just hardware. He shares how XR can teach memory, empathy, and “open the aperture” of the mind.Guest HighlightsInvented the Super Cockpit: the first immersive, wearable pilot interface, inspiring modern VR/AR.Founded the University of Washington HIT Lab; mentored a generation of XR founders and researchers.Championed headsets, tracking, spatial sound, and haptics in military, medical, education, humanitarian, and entertainment fields.Built VR tools for everything from the F-35 to “light schools” that boost learning and emotional intelligence.Advocates for XR's potential to unlock new forms of human growth and creativity—beyond the screen.News HighlightsStability AI and Anthropic win landmark copyright cases—courts rule AI model training as legal “fair use,” with distinctions for retaining source material.AI data centers drive up public power bills—the debate over who pays for tech's massive energy appetite heats up.Magic Leap alumni debut no-code AR platform—pushing toward mainstream AR creation, but will intent and timing finally align?Google adds Gemini to Maps—AI-powered natural language search changes real-world navigation and travel.Subscribe for weekly insider perspectives from veterans who aren't afraid to challenge Big Tech.

The Cockpit Confrontation: How Parliament Lost Their Best Advocate and Franklin's Legacy as a Founder of Science. Richard Munson discusses how Benjamin Franklin was a pivotal figure in the Revolutionary era, initially dedicated to maintaining the colonies' loyalty to the king. The critical turning point occurred in January 1774 at the Cockpit, where Parliament grilled and lambasted Franklin for over an hour without allowing him to answer. At this moment, Franklin realized the English government had lost its "best possible advocate," and he began thinking seriously about independence. Before the break with Britain, Franklin had laid a foundation for colonial unity by creating the American Philosophical Society. Franklin returned to Philadelphia in April 1775 and sailed to Paris in October 1776, where the French adored him. Franklin's legacy has been subject to various interpretations by historians, but Munson emphasizes that Franklin's enduring relevance lies in his role as a founder who championed empirical truths, observation, and experimentation, which is vital in modern times marked by the dismissal of science and facts.
We're talking real-deal confidence—the kind you build while you're ugly-crying in your car between school drop-off and a board meeting. In this conversation with media pro and author Lynn Smith, we dig into the messy intersection of courage and confidence, why perfectionism and your “brain bully” are killing your clarity, and how to model bravery for your kids (and, TBH, for yourself). Spoiler: brave isn't something you are; it's something you do. We get into naming the inner critic, reframing fear, and choosing the next right step—even when quitting is actually the bravest move. Oh, and Lynn wrote the children's book on this: Just Keep Going—for kids and the grown-ups who love them. What we cover: The fear loop CEOs and six-year-olds share—and how to break it “Brain bully” vs. inner knowing: name it, reframe it, tell it to sit down Perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the confidence–courage flywheel When to keep going…and when letting go is the most courageous choice Raising confident kids by modeling it (not lecturing it) Simple body-based resets for big feelings (yours and theirs) Because whether you're running a company or raising tiny humans, confidence isn't about never feeling fear — it's about learning to move with it, breathe through it, and just keep going.

In this episode, Wally Mulhern and Bobby Doss take listeners deep into the mindset and methods behind effective flight planning. They break down how professional pilots think, plan, and prepare—long before the engine ever starts.Wally explains why smart flight planning begins weeks in advance, sometimes as early as 20 days before departure, especially for longer trips. He shares how to select fuel stops just beyond the halfway point—around 280 to 320 miles—to maintain both efficiency and mental endurance. Past experiences taught him that chasing cheaper fuel can backfire through delays and limited services, making reliability and safety worth the extra cost.Weather plays a defining role in every flight, and Wally emphasizes checking forecasts repeatedly—three weeks, two weeks, ten days, and again the night before. He outlines how to analyze broad surface charts, TAFs, and METARs to anticipate conditions, adjust routes, and account for winds that can change fuel burn by up to 20% in a Cessna 172. He also discusses planning around TFRs and keeping alternate airports ready, even when not required.Bobby builds on that foundation with his focus on cockpit organization and readiness. His night-before checklist includes verifying oil levels, charging devices, updating ForeFlight, and packing flight materials. These habits reduce stress, save time, and make each preflight smoother. Wally echoes this with his own structured airline routine—packing the night before, updating iPads, and keeping notes on the yoke for future pilots. Both stress that good organization directly impacts performance and safety, especially during check rides.Together, they underline a shared philosophy: prepare early, plan thoroughly, and stay flexible. Weather forecasts are only predictions, sound judgment and real-time decision-making matter most. Their combined airline and general aviation experience shows that professional-grade preparation leads to safer, more confident flying.Whether you're a new student pilot or seasoned aviator, this episode delivers actionable insights on fuel management, weather interpretation, and cockpit discipline—helping you fly smarter, safer, and more like a pro.
SVP and Stanford Steve are back with a LIVE recap of the CFB Week 9 slate. Starting with Texas A&M's DOMINANT win over LSU in Baton Rouge… exactly how good are the Aggies?
