In this impromptu episode recorded at Sun 'n Fun, host Gabe Muller interviews Levi B. Noguess Sr., an experienced STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) pilot and flight instructor. Levi shares insights about flying a replica World War II Fiesler Storch Fi 156 in the STOL demonstration at Paradise City. The conversation covers backcountry flying, safety considerations for off-airport landings, and the historical significance of the Fiesler Storch, including its role in Mussolini's rescue during WWII. Levi also discusses his experience as a tailwheel instructor and his approach to teaching safe backcountry flying techniques. Sound Bites: Valuable Quotes "The best safety device is you... number one is be proficient in the operation of your airplane." "Most pilots that I found find it odd that you land anywhere but a paved runway." "What we do is we take it to the next level and we just try to find places that are fun to fly." "Thinking you can make it there is not a good plan." "Fly it till you tie it." Key Takeaways Safety Protocol for Backcountry Landing: Perform high reconnaissance passes Evaluate approach and escape routes Conduct low passes to assess surface conditions Only commit to landing when all factors are evaluated Wind Assessment Techniques: Use constant bank turns to determine drift Observe water ripples, trees, and smoke Consider uphill/downhill requirements Be willing to abort if conditions aren't favorable Legal Considerations: BLM land often allows landing in western states River sandbars between banks are typically legal landing zones in Texas Private property requires permission Public use areas vary by state and region Aircraft Maintenance and Performance: Regular maintenance is crucial for backcountry operations Know your aircraft's true performance capabilities Book performance numbers are often conservative Aircraft must be properly equipped for intended use Training and Proficiency: Regular landing practice is essential (15-20 landings per hour) Tailwheel proficiency is valuable for backcountry operations Understanding approach and landing limitations Continuous evaluation of pilot and aircraft capabilities Important Links https://www.flywithlevi.com - Levi's website for flight instruction Social Media: "Levi Noguess" on Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram https://nationalstol.com/ https://www.smokehousepilots.com/ Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Hanger Flying Podcast 00:59 Exploring STOL Flying and Its Community 04:22 The History and Mechanics of the Storch Aircraft 07:18 Personal Experiences in Aviation and Tailwheel Flying 10:08 Safety Considerations in Backcountry Flying 14:25 Connecting with the Aviation Community

Max talks with CFI Jim Hopp, who shares insights about tailwheel flying. He explains that tailwheel planes offer a more hands-on flying experience, with fewer instruments and a stick for better control. The primary challenge in tailwheel flying is ground handling due to the center of gravity being behind the main gear, which increases the risk of swerving and ground loops during takeoff and landing. Hopp discusses gyroscopic precession, a factor that causes tailwheel planes to yaw left during takeoff, requiring more right rudder input. He also highlights the importance of precise rudder control, particularly in crosswinds, and explains the different landing techniques used in tailwheel planes: the three-point landing and the more advanced wheel landing. In the air, tailwheel planes demand more rudder usage due to their older, draggy designs, which make adverse yaw more noticeable. Hopp also talks about the requirements for a tailwheel endorsement, including extensive ground training and practice in handling the aircraft. He emphasizes that while tailwheel flying is more demanding, it offers rewarding experiences and improved piloting skills If you're getting value from this show, please support the show via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or Patreon.

Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, Adriana Barragan grew her passion for life, beauty, science and freedom. During her childhood and teens, she was exposed to disciplined arts and sports that would let her develop her spirit and realize the power of the mind. Raised near the International Airport of Guadalajara, airplanes made her wonder. She had a revelation while learning basic aerodynamics on the internet. She was filled with pure passion and excitement. This was the most amazing applied physics she had ever read and represented the greatness of invention. Her learning and joy for flight only grew from that day. At age 15, Adriana confirmed her vocation for aviation while feeling reflected in the book “Running from Safety: an Adventure of the Spirit” by Richard Bach. Soon she realized that Flight Testing combined everything she loved, defining her pursuit to become an Experimental Test Pilot. After making her vocation public, her family could only show concern.  Regardless, she took the steps to become proficient in English and applied to MIT, ERAU, and Wichita State University. After receiving letters of admission, she camped on her roof during a clear night where she made her affirmation. This journey promised her everything – adventure, growth, romance, achievement, freedom, joy – and so her family understood this “bug”. Six months before coming to the US, her family supported her to get a private pilot's license in Guadalajara. Later, she graduated with a B.S. in Aerospace Engineering from Wichita State University in December of 2014. She worked as a research engineer at the Computational Mechanics Laboratory of the National Institute for Aviation Research for 3.5 years, 3 years as an Experimental Flight Test Engineer at Gulfstream Aerospace, and 2 years as a Maneuver Loads Engineer at Gulfstream Aerospace. Adriana has been flying since 2010, besides her Private Pilot Certificate, she paid for her Instrument rating, Commercial Pilot Certificate, Flight Instructor Certificate, Glider rating, and a bunch of aviation specialty courses including tailwheel, aerobatics, soaring events, and sea planes. After almost 10 years working as an engineer, Adriana “retired” the corporate world to start ORKA. She currently helps people obtain Private and Commercial Pilot Certificates, Tailwheel endorsements, and supports many students through her remote Online Course. Her vision is to lead those with a burning aviation desire to the finest flight instructors/coaches/teachers and aviation specialty courses. Because in her aviation journey, aiming for elite training and education, she found most training institutions were leaving gaps of knowledge and experience. ORKA will be the trusted platform to find effective, high quality training and vocation to teach. ORKA shall connect people, specially those new to aviation, to the richness of the aviation community. A network of humble, caring, available and talented individuals with deep knowledge and sharp skills. ORKA shall bring together educators, flyers, engineers, competition pilots, recreational pilots, etc, who have something to teach and want to teach. Like the flight test of an airplane, Adriana found developing skill and knowledge in a pilot benefits from the disciplined approach we use in Flight Test to expand the envelope. But this time, she was to dedicate her career to develop ”ability” to fly an aircraft to its full capabilities. Sometimes you are so focused on what you want that you forget what you need. https://www.facebook.com/flyorka https://www.instagram.com/fly.orka https://www.flyorka.com/ www.soaringthesky.com

Victoria is an experienced pilot with a confidence problem. She found herself having lots of time in her logbook, but the circumstances under which she flew those hours began to make her a rusty pilot. When she realized this, she began to doubt her abilities. Listen to her struggle to overcome this confidence and competency problem in the cockpit.
