Recorded on July 13th, 2021 On Flight 83 of the Squawk Ident podcast we explore the recent controversy with a new FAA policy that limits for compensation in aircraft that hold special airworthiness certificates, including limited, experimental and primary category aircraft. We discuss how an FAA Drone advisory committee has recommended that airlines replace sexist terms with more gender neutral ones. Are Masks going away? The federal mask mandate is set to expire in September, how will that affect our operations here in the US? We also look at the mystery of why a 46 year old Rhoades Express B737-200 cargo aircraft, (operating as Transair Flight 810) ditched off the coast of Honolulu on July 2nd, 2021. We also take a look back at Pan Am 6 and its skipper Captain Richard Ogg. references: FAA Limits For Hire on certain aircraft FAA Plans to Remove Sexist Terms Federal Mask Mandate Set to Expire TransAir 810 Pan Am 6 chapters: [10:56] Now Hiring!

On Flight 82 of the Squawk Ident podcast, we take a look at some of the recent developments in the aviation industry to include the FAA’s launching of a new Confidential Voluntary Safety Reporting Program in the wake of the Boeing Company’s 737-MAX certification issues. We look at Advisory Circular 120-27F dated on the 6th of May, 2019, that has recently made an impact on some part 121 operators with their recent adjustments to average passenger weights. We even take a look at some record breaking fines that the FAA has imposed on passengers that have created headlines with their recent behaviors onboard aircraft. We are also excited to hear about Captain Roger’s recent additional type rating on the Falcon 900-EZ, and about Rob’s final flight on the B-737 and his ongoing transition to long term Airbus flight training experiences at Legacy’s Flight Training Academy. We even highlight extra-heavy flight schedules and share some amazing listener feedback. All this and more onboard Flight 82 of the Squawk Ident podcast.

On today’s episode of the Squawk Ident podcast, IROPs & Coffee Addiction, Rob D, Captain Roger, and I explore the rise of assault and battery on aircraft, what to expect when flying into an airport that is co-located with a military base and the air traffic controllers say, “Clear to land, arresting cable up?!” All of us here on the show have some sort of flight training this month. We will discuss my latest recurrent training event, Rob’s upcoming long-term initial, and Roger’s upcoming part 91 900EZ type rating. I also had an amazing opportunity to step back into the GA world by an exclusive invitation to take command of the Wong Warrior. That’s right, after nearly 15 years since my last command of a normally aspirated single engine aircraft, I was able to join one of our favorite guests, from episode 074 - A Warrior and a Pilot. Ms. Christy Wong and I took flight in her 1981 Piper Warrior. We also have audio from the post flight meet-up. Now that our preflight is complete, let's get ready to push off the gate, and start those virtual podcast engines, Flight 81 of the Squawk Ident Podcast is officially under way.
