Pilot safety: Staying safe on the runway04 août 202200:19:07

Do you have the current aerodrome chart for planning and reference? 

Always consider alternate routes and potential hazards, regardless of how familiar you are with the aerodrome.

This episode explores the key things you should know when operating at controlled aerodromes - including runway safety, situational awareness and talking to air traffic control.

Runway safety is considered to be one of the highest priority areas for improvement in aviation safety by The International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and Airservices.

This important topic reinforces why your flight does not finish until your aircraft is in the right spot and the engine is turned off.

This episode features stories and insights from Bianca Wise, senior flight instructor at Flight Training Adelaide, and Raj Prakash, Airservices tower controller at Brisbane Airport.

Pilot safety: Weather in a changing environment04 août 202200:23:11

What do you do when the weather turns? 

The most talked about topic for pilots is weather and forecasting. It may surprise you that accidents are not actually about the weather, it’s about decisions you made or did not make before the actual flight. In this episode, we hear the story of pilot Lea Vesic, who shares her experience flying in a changing weather environment.  We also speak to Bureau of Meteorology forecaster Michael Paech, who shares his insights and useful advice for pilots.

Pilot safety: Circuit and radio operations at non-controlled aerodromes03 août 202200:20:55

How do you effectively operate and make quality radio calls in a circuit? 

Operating at non-controlled aerodromes has many challenges and risks and requires pilots to consider their flight planning requirements. This includes considering when and how to make radio calls, checking you’re on the correct frequency and how to operate in the circuit. For this episode we’re joined by two pilots - Nerita Summers, a trainee pilot, and Ben Mackney, co-owner of Flight Standards in Darwin. They both have personal experiences with incidents that occurred in non-controlled aerodromes, share what happened, what they learned, and what you can take away to help you stay safe on your next flight.
