In This Episode We Discuss Returning to Aviation:
41 Year Old Truck Driver, interested in fixed wing air ambulance jobs. Asks about building time, and whether stand up comedy that is potentially offensive could cost a pilot a job.

Scholarships for a high schooler looking to get PPL prior to attending Embry Riddle.

The following discussion is from IAN Twombly article December 2018 Flight Training magazine.
“Exceeding the critical angle of attack” or “Stalls” how do you train your students? When teaching stalls I usually introduce them not using the word stalls but discuss how we are going to exceed the critical angle of attack. In a recent article in Flight Training magazine “Right Seat: Shake Off Stalls” Ian Twombly discusses this topic.
Ian also discusses Spin training for the CFI - I required all of my CFI applicants to do some aerobatic training while getting their spin endorsement. This is how I was taught and I passed that along to my CFI applicants. What do you do? Do you think this is a good idea?
