Student Pilot Journal Aviation Podcast

Multi-cam Madness!!! My friend Jamie and I strapped a bunch of GoPros to the 172 and flew a short trip....during the heat of the day (probably why some shut off).  It was a hot but fun experiment and yielded some overall great results.  Shoot me an email and let me know what you think. greg@studentpilotjournal.com -Greg Download the Podcast

Flying with club member Dave Merchberger Hello everyone! I am glad to get a flying episode out...finally.  My new camera performed exceptionally! Dave and I made a quick fueling trip from MLB to X59.

SPJ Status Update Hello everyone! Wanted to send out a short video of what I have been up to. Haven't been able to fly lately. My flight review has been due for a few months now so I haven't been able to book the plane. Weather permitting I will do that in the next day or so. I still have some footage stocked away so I hope to get that out one day as well as record some new footage. Hope you all are well. Safe flying! -G Download the Podcast

Hey guys....this episode introduces a new sponsor, Coradine Aviation Systems with their wonderful electronic logbook software LogTen Pro 6 for the Mac, iPhone, and iPad.  It's way cool! Check them out at www.coradine.com. Casey and I took the good ole clubs 152 up for some refresher maneuver practice.  Boy do I need some work on a few things! The other club planes are out for maintenance so we couldn't so much in the way of instrument work. Also had some time to redo the intro.....I'm always searching for a better intro but only have so much footage to work with. Download the Podcast

Hello aviators! This episode is from October 2011. I wanted to give everyone an update on what Casey has been up to lately. His new job has been good for him, but it has meant fewer episodes as we try to get our schedules in sync to record and fly. I hope you enjoy the update and we hope to get back in the air soon.

This is a flight that Casey and I took to KOBE (Okeechobee) for some breakfast. We flew the 152 and also tried out my new camera mount which performed quite well. Casey also gives us a few tips for traffic pattern ops and situational awareness while flying cross country. Download the Podcast

A very SHAKY instrument flying lesson! The camera I borrowed was horrible! Never again. Anyway, sorry for the bad quality but something is better than nothing I always say. Stay focused in the panel and you will probably get through it without going into seizures. Stay tuned after the podcast for a good tip from yours truly about the usefulness of flight sims!

This episode was intended to be a "minicast" interim episode but I think it is fine as an official post.  I thought it would be a good idea to talk some more about flight following and provide some in flight examples.  Enjoy! Download the Podcast

Talk about a flight to Daytona Beach for pre-buy inspection of N2521L. Just me talking about a flight to KDAB in N2521L.  I also got an interview with an interesting girl from Embry-Riddle while I was there.  She is a part of a team that are building a hybrid glider for the Green Flight Challenge starting in September.  Stay tuned for the end of the episode for the interview.

A flight to an Aircraft Salvage Yard..... There is something really fascinating about a salvage yard for aircraft.  It must be morbid curiosity for me as I look at the junked fuselages and think about their previous flights and owners.  Where are they? I imagine the planes coming off of the assembly line at one point all shiny and new.....What was their final flight? We had a good time this day.  On approach we were busily looking for the grass strip of zero two foxtrot alpha. It is not easy to spot when everything else is green around it. With my iPad in hand I was ready to help my friend Roy navigate the short 56nm trip.  No stick time for me....and I was perfectly content with technology at my side. Download the Podcast

Simulator Fun!I got bored this past weekend and hooked 2 computers together with X-Plane. One was running the outside view and recording. The other was running the inside view so I could fly. I am sure there are better ways to do it. This could open up for some interesting future podcasts.Download the Podcast
