Airports, flight schools and FBOs are their own worst enemy

Podcast 10  Thoughts from the Flight Deck    

Your host is Pilot Bill

 Airports, flight schools and FBOs are their own worst enemy.

 Be a pilot  program.

Flight schools need to make the entrance inviting.

Flight schools need a good front person.

A friendly FBO/school lobby is most important.

Harborside Aviation (formally Anderson Aviation @ Punta Gorda), Florida Aviation Academy@ Pompano,  Euro American Aviation @ Naples.

Smoke town airport @Lancaster, Pa  for lunch.

Flying with Mr. Garmin 430

Podcast 8  Flying with Mr. Garmin 430 

    Flight instructor Mr. Garmin helped me learn to fly the localizer.

    Flying an ILS, localizer, or VOR can be a difficult skill to learn.

    All of the books on Instrument flying devote very little space to the actual flying part.

    This podcast is about my troubles over correcting on an approach, especially as I came closer to the localizer. With Mr. Garmin 430 as my coach, I found the way.
