Episode #16 - Airmanship by Check Six Podcast

To start us off today we have the first edition of our new series of Guest Speakers. We got the opportunity to chat with Gen Mark Weatherington, and spent a few minutes on how to succeed in Pilot Training. Let us know what you think! The main focus of the majority of your first few rides, other than patterns, is going to be area maneuvering in the MOA. While it may seem benign, you are gaining an understanding of how aircraft operate in all phase of flight, from the stall/slow flight regime, to high speed aerodynamics. Bender and Nano get into these basics and chat about common techniques that will help you shack them quickly. Cheers.

After a New Year's Hiatus, Check Six podcast is back! To start things off again we are helping answer the important question of "Can we fly there?" more specifically we are talk about the legal in's and out's you will have to deal with as you mission plan fro anything outside the local area. To answer this question, we brought on two IPs from the T-1 squadron to hack this out with us. Now, this is one of the more heady topics we have tried to tackle, so I definitely recommend breaking out an IFR supplement while listening if you have one. Cheers
