Dave and Jeff (back row), Jim, Rob, Len, Kristen, Rick, Dorrie, Jack and Rick (Photo by Jeff Ward)In this episode, I talk with David Torrente about the recent flights we have taken together. All of them were up to Nashua NH to meet the gang at the UCAP meet-up. All three of them were somewhat adventurist and we learned a lot from them. We discuss what happened, our decisions, why we made the decisions and most importantly what we learned from each flight. So if you want to hear what happened along the way to Nashua, please join us in the virtual hangar. I hope you enjoy the discussion and maybe even learn something from it. As always, I had goals for this flight. One was to go on a cross-country flight. This is the one area where I would like to improve upon. Most of my hours up until this year have been either spent practicing or short sight-seeing trips around LI. I really want to fly more XC flights and get more comfortable landing at unfamiliar airports. As you will hear from this episode, Dave has more experience than me in XC flying and there is no one better to fly them with. A second goal was to meet the Jack and the gang for brunch at the midfield café. Isn't that what getting your PPL is all about? Flying to an airport with a good restaurant to hang out with friends. Not only were these goals met, but as you will hear, we had some practice de-icing a plane and diverting to other airports.Dave & Jack in conversation.Kristen and Len from the Stuck Mic AvCast.Myself, Dave and Jack.Dave, Rick and Dorrie in front of Rick's 172The gang chatting after a good mealWaiting for take-off. (Photo by Jeff Ward)Rick next to his planeShoutouts:1) David Torrente, an excellent pilot and great flying companion. I look forward to many more XC flights with him. Hopefully not as eventful as our last few. 2) Jack Hodgson for arranging the meetups. They are a lot of fun. A great opportunity to meet up with friends that you only see at aviation events. 3) Dave Pascoe from LiveAtc.net, Rick Felty and Len Costa from the Stuck Mic AvCast (it was also great meeting Rick's wife Dorrie and Len's girlfriend Kristen), Jeff Ward from behind the scenes at UCAP, Rick Sheppe and Jim Goldman who were at the meetup. 4) A big shoutout to Bradley approach who helped us find the airport when we needed to land.Podcast Promos:1) Pilots Journey Podcast2) Plane Crazy Down Under3) The Aviation Media NetworkBlue skies and tailwinds always.You can reach me at TheNewPilotPodBlog@gmail.comPlease send comments and suggestions.You can follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/NewPilotPodBlogAnd LIPilot on myTransponder.comPlease join the myTransponder.com group Friends of The New Pilot PodBlog.The New Pilot PodBlog is now on facebook at http://www.facebook.com/TheNewPilotPodBlogThe intro and closing song is John Mellencamp's My Aeroplane.Direct access to the mp3 is here
Hello everybody. In this episode I invite a group of friends into the virtual hanger for a discussion on using the iPad in aviation.I recently purchased one and was trying to figure out how best to use this new, exciting tool. I took it up with me during a flight in the PiperSport and was very impressed with it. I immediate knew that the iPad will be great tool in my flight bag but I was unsure how best to fit it in my workflow, from preflight, enroute and post flight. To get a better understanding on how others use this cool, new toy, I decided to ask some friends who have already been using it. I figured that if I had these questions, others might have the same questions or at least be curious on using the iPad. So I decided to invite them to a round-table discussion to learn how they use it, what apps they use and to get any tips that might help me figure out how to use it in my flying. I hope you enjoy it.Show Notes:Highlight of what was discussed:How reliable is the GPSWhat apps does each guest use and how the use themWill the iPad replace paper chartsUntil the chart margin information is included in the apps it will never replace paper chartsA side note: after the episode I tried Flight Prep iChart and found that it displays the margin informationThe stitching of different charts and from TAC to SectionalThe utility of being able to see where you are on a section/TAC and not just on a topographical mapThere is a concern that pilots will be looking inside the cockpit instead of outside even more with the iPadConcern about the simulated flight instruments and pilots relying on themThe iPad as n educational toolFAA PDFseBooksJason Miller's (The Finer Points) communication appHow to mount the iPadRAM mountskneeboardsAnti-glare screen protectorAdam's custom pre-flight checklist that includes the iPad Social NetworkingHow myTrasnsponder.com and OshPlanner.com fit inLogbooksLog Ten ProLogbook ProJetRecord.comHow we use the iPad for funAngry BirdsX-PlaneIs it a legal Electronic Flight BagBelow are the guests who sat at the round table in the virtual hanger.

We bring in Will Hawkins, Roger Bishop, and Rick Felty to talk about shooting video aloft.
Happy New Year everyone.In this episode, I talk about my flight with Joey to the Wings Sports Bar and Grille in Hartford (KHFD) for our first $100 hamburger trip. This is the trip that we had tried to take before but could not due to weather and traffic issues. Well, we finally did it. The weather was perfect and the burgers and wings were great. Have a listen as I discuss the issues I had along the way and what I learned from the trip.I also discuss an accidental Uncontrolled Airspace Podcast meetup with John Wellington and how I recognized him from Rick Felty's great videos.I talk about a couple of upcoming aviation films which are in progress, A Pilot's Story by Wilco Films (Will Hawkins from The Pilot's Flight Pod Log) and AcroCamp by AirSpeed's Stephen Force.I introduce an excellent new aviation podcast, The Mile High Flyers. Four regular pilots from out west who do a little hangar flying. These guys and gal are great. Wonderful chemestry and a lot of fun to listen too.Finally I discuss some ideas of what I would like to talk about in the future and ask for any ideas you may have and if anyone would like to be a guest on the podcast.Shout Outs:The Pilot's Flight PodLog - http://pilotwill.libsyn.com/Mile High Flyers Podcast - http://www.milehighflyers.com/A Pilot's Story - http://www.apilotsstory.com/The Student PilotCast - http://studentpilotcast.com/cast/default.aspx Checkout Bill Williams blog and video on how to record cockpit audio http://studentpilotcast.com/cast/category/Videocast.aspxRick Felty's YouTube Page - http://www.youtube.com/user/rdfeltyAcroCamp - http://www.acrocamp.com/Thanks for listening.Blues skies everyone!You can reach me at TheNewPilotPodBlog@gmail.comPlease send comments and suggestions.You can follow me on Twitter at twitter.com/NewPilotPodBlogAnd LIPilot on myTransponder.comThe intro and closing song is John Mellencamp's My Aeroplane.Direct access to the mp3 is here.
