David is a super experienced and super interesting pilot who got caught in a weird conundrum that challenged his aviation skills to the max.  Hear his story here.......

Mitch Lenamond flies a Meridian, and even though he's only owned it for a year, his cockpit management and stick-and-rudder skills are excellent. That's not a surprise, since he's got more ratings in his wallet than most other Meridian pilots. 

Not many people can claim they've flown an approach they've designed, but Russ Roslewski can. During initial training in a Matrix, I found out that Russ works for the FAA on designing and maintaining instrument approaches all across the country. I had a thousand questions for him, so we sat down to discuss his job as well as the Matrix we flew this week.

We had a client recently purchase an M600, and we waited until after training was complete to talk with him about whether it was worth it to move up in airplane. 

The pressurization system on a PA46 is one of the best systems on the airplane, but one of the least understood by pilots. In an attempt to demystify the subject, Joe breaks down three primary rules to managing your pressurization system properly.

Patrick Turner moved from a G1000 Mirage to a 2001 Meridian. He and Joe sat down to discuss his move through different aircraft, and whether there's any regret moving "up" in aircraft but "down" in avionics.

We get asked all the time by clients and tire-kickers what the differences are between the Meridian and the TBM. Joe and Ben sat down to talk about the two different airplanes from both a cost and performance standpoint.

JC has over 35,000 hours in his logbook. He's recently retired from the airlines, but can't be done with flying. So now he's gone back to instructing, and sat down with Joe to talk about the twilight of his career, the Meridian, and other aviation/life topics.

Joe Provenza and Cliff Coffman co-own Mirage that they converted to a JetPROP, and they've trained with Casey Aviation for many years. Joe discusses the benefits to owning a plane with a partner as well as the experience of converting your own piston PA46 to a JetPROP.

The turbine Duke is a fascinating conversion done by Rocket Engineering, similar to a JetPROP. Joe sits down with a Turbine Duke pilot to talk about the differences and similarities, along with other cool aviation stuff.

In this episode of the Malibu Guru podcast, Joe sits down with Vishnu Raman, owner of the software consulting company Veits Group and a passionate pilot of a PA-46 M600. Vishnu shares his journey from India to the United States, delves into his successful career in software consulting, and reveals his deep love for aviation.

We get this question frequently from people who are just dipping their toes into the turbine world. The stakes are high when you start a turbine engine, but that shouldn't stop you from jumping right in.

The go-around (or going missed) procedure is one of the most misunderstood aspects of aviation, and one of the most critical parts of any flight. We'll try to set the record straight.

Joe sits down with Darwin Haines, who was in the same unit in the Army as Joe for quite a few years as a helicopter pilot and has recently bought a 1989 Mirage. They talk about old Army stories as well as why and how the Mirage purchase was made.
