  • SPC095 [HS] Pull Early, Pull Often — Inside Cirrus Training
    2026/09/09
    At AirVenture this year I sat down in the Cirrus compound with Eamon Powers, the Director of Cirrus Approach — the man who owns every piece of training content Cirrus produces, for pilots and for mechanics.Twelve or fourteen years ago the fatal accident rate in the Cirrus fleet was, being generous, unremarkable, and there was a real argument in this industry about whether the parachute was helping at all. That number has moved a long way since. I wanted to know what actually moved it, how they know what moved it, and how much of it the rest of us can steal — because most of you listening aren't flying a Cirrus.What I got was a lot better than a company pitch. Eamon has a PhD in instructional design, an ATP, and an A&P, and he'll be the first to tell you the business card looks a little silly.We get into why every syllabus in America puts the first solo before lesson 20, and why that number is a leftover from World War II. What he calls "time to independence." How you keep a safety briefing from going rote. The CSIP standardization machine. The hardest number in aviation safety — the denominator. And the training nobody ever asks their mechanic about.Get the free Go or No-Go guide: https://studentpilotcast.com/three-questionsGet the Friday Flight Brief: https://studentpilotcast.com/flightbriefLinks:Cirrus trainingCirrus Approach — the training platform, for pilots: https://www.cirrusapproach.com/pilots/Cirrus Approach course catalog: https://learning.cirrusapproach.com/learning-catalogCAPS course — free, open to anyone, you don't have to own or fly a Cirrus:https://learning.cirrusapproach.com/courses/424/overviewMission Ready 2026 Simulator Sessions: https://learning.cirrusapproach.com/courses/821/overviewCirrus Embark — complimentary transition training when you buy a pre-owned Cirrus:https://cirrusaircraft.com/embark/Cirrus Training Network — find a Cirrus Training Center or a CSIP near you:https://cirrusaircraft.com/training-network/Becoming a CSIP (Cirrus Standardized Instructor Pilot): http://csip.cirrusaircraft.comBecoming a Cirrus Training Center: https://cirrusaircraft.formstack.com/forms/ctc_applicationCirrus flight training overview: https://cirrusaircraft.com/approach/caps-training-course/Also mentionedCOPA — Cirrus Owners and Pilots Association: https://www.cirruspilots.org/Cirrus IQ (the data platform, built on the Garmin GDL 60): https://cirrusaircraft.com/cirrus-iq-faq/TRAC10 — the clean-sheet trainer Cirrus introduced in July 2026:https://cirrusaircraft.com/aircraft/trac10/Student Pilot CastRadio Check — leave me a voicemail: https://studentpilotcast.com/voicemail/The Friday Flight Brief: https://studentpilotcast.com/flightbrief/Three Simple Questions for ADM (free PDF): https://studentpilotcast.com/three-questions/All episodes: https://studentpilotcast.com/episodes/Hope you enjoy the episode and thanks for listening!

  • SPC094 [HS] Engine Out - Who Showed Up
    2026/08/09

    In episode 94 of the Student Pilot Cast, Bill recounts an unplanned start to AirVenture 2026 after the engine in his Jabiru quit over far southeastern Colorado on July 18, forcing an off-airport landing in a cornfield with his son Trey; both were unhurt and the airplane remains repairable with minor gear damage and an unresolved engine issue. Rather than a debrief, Bill focuses on gratitude for the “rings” of people who helped: Trey’s calm, useful cockpit support; his wife Crystal’s steady response, prayer, and communication with worried family; airline crews relaying the mayday on guard; ATC/FAA personnel tracking him down by phone; local deputies and responders; fire chief Everett and his wife Becky transporting and hosting them; friend Kent flying a Mooney rescue to continue to Oshkosh; and the broader aviation community at Oshkosh that shared support, stories, and connections.

    This is not the debrief of the emergency...that comes later. This is arguably more important...the human side.

  • SPC093 [HS] Day Four of Days Not Mattering
    2026/07/31
    It's Thursday night at Camp Scholler, day four of days not mattering, and Kent and I sat down with one goal: be smart-asses about a few things we'd seen at AirVenture.So we get into it. Textron had us all convinced this was the year the Pipistrel Panthera would finally get certified under MOSAIC — and instead we got another two-seat trainer. The Camp Scholler bathhouse has quietly relocated the towel hooks inside the shower. The night air show is still the best thing in aviation, but somebody counted down "two minutes to hack" and then made us wait ten more for two drones and a flag. Also, everybody please sit down and stop filming it.Then Bob Bittner wandered into the conversation and blew up our whole gripe session, because the 2026 AirVenture Cup — the one Kent has rechristened the SmokeVenture Cup — turned out to be a much better story than anything we were complaining about.We tried to be snide. We learned things instead. That's episode 93.Get the free Go or No-Go guide: https://studentpilotcast.com/three-questionsGet the Friday Flight Brief: https://studentpilotcast.com/flightbriefLinks:Links MentionedThe AirVenture CupAirVenture Cup Race — official site2026 race course2026 results — EAA Hangar FlyingWildfire smoke postpones the race (WSAW)The race finally launches from smoky Wausau skies (WSAW)Learn Build Fly — Wausau youth aviation programBob's airplaneCozy Mark IVRutan VariEze — where the canard family startedLong-EZ (EAA)Textron, Pipistrel & MOSAICPipistrel (a Textron eAviation company)Pipistrel PantheraTextron buys Pipistrel, 2022 (AOPA)FAA MOSAIC ruleMOSAIC explained — FAQ (AOPA)Other things we talked aboutSubSonex personal jet kit (Sonex Aircraft)Camp Scholler (EAA)Hope you enjoy the episode and thanks for listening!
