Episode 363 Show Notes

Topic of the show: On this week’s show, AG and RH discuss risk vs. reward in flight training and ATC on the job training. Can trainers prepare students for real life scenarios if they protect the trainee from difficult and challenging scenarios?  Does the risk of spins outweigh the benefits of learning how to recover?  Does watching a student work a complex/busy scenario expose them to the risk of killing their confidence?  We also discuss taxi procedures, transponders, and a ton of new ratings.  This is an aviation packed episode and you don’t want to miss it!
