    Mar 9 2025

    • Lee explains how he shifted his aircraft mission from family transportation to personal enjoyment
    • Detailed comparison between Husky's modern design and better cruise speed versus Super Cub's lighter weight and heritage appeal
    • Scott advocates for the humble Cessna 150 as the practical alternative that meets the same basic mission
    • Discussion of the emotional aspects of airplane ownership that often override practical considerations
    • Lee reveals his final choice: a 90-horsepower Super Cub with no electrical system, weighing just 760 pounds
    • Examination of recent aviation accidents including the Blackhawk/CRJ collision and runway incursions
    • Safety discussion about treating all propellers as "hot" regardless of ignition switch position
    • Debate about whether AI air traffic control could prevent accidents in the future
    • The hosts reflect on why NOTAMs have returned to being "Notices to Airmen" rather than "Air Missions"

    Scott is drinking his new synthetic alcohol (R 1,3 butanediol) so we'll see how that goes.

    The FAR AIM Podcast will continue on an occasional basis - likely quarterly - as the hosts' schedules permit.

  • Extra Audio | Live Q&A
    Sep 14 2023

    Ready for a sky-rocketing adventure into the world of aviation? We've got an episode lined with intriguing insights and exciting tales of navigating through thunderstorms and airfield gradients. One moment we're dodging weather anomalies, and the next, we're making a calculated take-off from a challenging Virginia airport. Along the way, we'll share how flight simulator games aren't just for fun but can also be a practical tool to sharpen piloting skills.

    As we soar through the skies of aviation, we also venture into the crucial aspects of flight safety. We zero in on the importance of proper gear from life jackets to Mustang Survival inflatable jackets, the role of planning for wind conditions, altitude, and the indispensable value of a life raft in emergencies. We even have an entertaining debate on the legality of drinking while flying an ultralight vehicle, making you rethink the implications of operating a vehicle while intoxicated.

    Our journey doesn't end there. We dip our toes into water activity preparations, discussing the essential gear for safe flying over bodies of water. Hear us compare Mustang and Gumby suits and their role in cold weather conditions. Plus, we've got a fun twist for you - a Bud Light comparison, German vs American. Now, who wouldn't want to know about that? Buckle up, and join us as we navigate the turbulent and thrilling skies of aviation.
