Back Seat Pilot, July 5th, 2015
Have you ever been flying with a pilot buddy and he/she decides to make a suggestion on how you could be doing a better job?\xa0 Maybe something as simple as changing the MFD moving map from North Up to Track Up?\xa0 Or using Comm 1 and Comm 2 in a different way then you're used to.\xa0 Most times it doesn't feel too good, but sometimes it can save your life.\xa0 Indeed its a fine line.\xa0 When do you cross that line and when do you button that lip of yours and enjoy the ride?\xa0 These are the questions Marc and Al discuss in\xa0tonight'sepisode.\xa0 What do you think?\xa0 Let us know how you determine whether to pipe up or shut up.
How dependent are you on your tablet?\xa0 Al has always been a big iPad user, and running out of battery in flight has been a constant worry.\xa0 Well no more.\xa0 He learned about moving to his iPhone for his inflight navigation, using less battery, less cockpit real estate, while increasing his outside visibility.\xa0 Take a listen and hear how he made the transition.
They guys also talked about pilot excursions to some great airports that seem to be off the beaten path.\xa0 And what does Al do on his way down to those airports?\xa0 Why grind his own coffee beans of course! \xa0Doesn't everybody??????? \xa0At least he doesn't have to put up with FBO coffee anymore.\xa0 The question is, will it make Marc a coffee drinker?\xa0 Time will tell, but Marc is not betting on it.
