Well... my cheap self finally pulled the trigger on a phone with 5G capability which means I can now start doing the podcast youtube thingy on downtime. Any recommendations on some youtube and podcast channels that are good for remediation and reinforcement to help keep one sharp?
I like angleofattack.com out of Homer Alaska…seems like a nice guy who wants to teach GA…has YouTube and Instagram channels…
I like Martin Pauly, Flightchops, Pilot Bambi, Stevie Triesenberg (doesn't post very often), Ward Carroll (although he's not GA)
YouTube: Flywire with Scott Purdue, Aviation News Talk (also a great podcast), Air Safety Institute, Backcountry 182, Boldmethod, although they haven’t posted in a long time, still a ton of great videos. Many more. Just search in YouTube and you’ll find a ton. Podcasts: Opposing Bases, Aviation News Talk, AOPA Pilot Briefing and There I Was, Ask the A&Ps, Airplane Geeks, Behind the Prop, Hangar Talk, Airplane Owner Maintenance…again, the list goes on.
can't beleive I forgot another couple of favorites.... socalflying monkey puts out some really good stuff, as does just plain silly
Will put another plug in for Opposing Bases.... If you're after an in-depth understanding of the workings of ATC, these guys do a great job breaking it down.
Late to the party, but I’ll plug a few. YouTube: Just Plane Silly for some good satire, Taking Off, Aviation101, finer points Podcasts: pilot to pilot, aviatorcast, I.LA.F.F.T, Sportys Pilot Discretion. And I would be reminded to not mention my own…The Flying Midwest Podcast, and Fly the Transition Podcast. Happy listening. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I find much of the popular YouTube stuff to end up being a teaser, sensational titles and little meat. Also, I find the sales pitches for other products a little heavy. But no aviation company has ever given me free stuff for product placement so perhaps I’m just envious. One guy online “built” and flies a rv, following the build was interesting as he seemed to have a totally unrealistic amount of help doing the work for him, made it tough to learn. current tv-ice pilots Current podcast-fight pilot utube I’ve enjoyed trying to learn while training Lew dix Jason schapert I enjoy scenery or location flying such as missionary bush pilot I dream of my own satirical utube channel. if you’ve enjoyed the commentary and want more like it, help me out by hitting the like button below…
If you like classic rock and dream of the single engine turboprop lifestyle, then check out Life in the FL. The guy is a surgeon and drummer in a very successful Eagles tribute band. He produces excellent videos with most of the emphasis on the weather briefing and flight planning. His production skills are almost to the level of SoCal Flying Monkey.
If you're into the backcountry flying side of things Gravity Knight has some excellent videography and unlike Trent Palmer and some others, he focuses on the flying and locations and not his lifestyle or girlfriend.
The only thing that I think has been done well at AOPA (well, the ASI, actually) is Dick McSpadden's accident reviews. Intelligent, interesting, and non-sensational.
I really like how he addresses them. I sort of feel like it is a direct response to the sensational ones out there. I hope it is anyway. He does abbreviated versions on TikTok as well and they are very insightful.
