Concerned About Your Medical?

After our last episode was published, we received a Tweet from our friends John and Leslie Caubble of the Fly Maui podcast. They stated that the topic was good food for thought since they had aspirations of becoming flight instructors themselves. This got us thinking about the topic of other good and bad habits found at flight schools and in the flight training environment.
In this episode of Flying With a Purpose, Derek address some bad habits he has encountered with student pilots and their instructors. Derek also discusses ways to ensure students and instructors are following best practices in their flight training operations. We talk about standardization, documentation, assumptions, and unlearning improper procedures. We bring up the importance of stage checks and their role in evaluating the CFI and the student.
We wish to thank John and Leslie Caubble for the thought-provoking Tweet, and for giving us a reason to really dig deeper into this topic. Please check out and subscribe to their fantastic podcast at https://www.flymauihi.com/. And if you need some ridiculously delicious barbecue on Florida's Space Coast, check out Cryderman's in Downtown Melbourne: https://www.crydermansbarbecue.com/
