In this episode we have a very special guest, Rod Rakic, who joined us to discuss his exciting new venture, OpenAirplane.
OpenAirplane is a new service launching soon that will help pilots to rent aircraft easier than ever before. Instead of having to spend money and time getting checked out in the same make and model of an airplane at each flight school, you will now be able to rent any plane in their network across the country after one standardized checkout.
So tune in and learn more about this new service and how OpenAirplane will completely change the way we rent aircraft.
More about OpenAirplane, and the form to sign up to receive updates is at www.OpenAirplane.com. You can also follow them on Twitter @OpenAirplane and Facebook at OpenAirplane.

Brad follows up from the last episode about the CO dectector and how his club feels about installing them on the planes. He also tries to go up with his CFII to shoot some approaches but can’t get the plane to go above 2100 RPM after trying to sort out some engine roughness.
Chris makes a mistake with the online scheduler when renting the plane and has a few breakfast flights to make John jealous.

John has gone out of currency, though he has kept his flying skills in check flying his new quadrocopter. Mark is in the same boat, but sadly, without a quadrocopter.
Chris takes his whole family up for the first time since getting his license.

In this episode of the In The Pattern Podcast, Chris passes his Private Pilot Checkride with flying colors. He also talks about his first flights as a private pilot. Mark hasn't done any flight training, but he did get to take a nice flight in a Cirrus and he discusses the flight down to Long Beach and the flying over KLAX. Brad also discusses more of his IFR training and John doesn't do much of anything.

The FAA has a course you need to take before you fly there, or you’ll get a visit from some F-16s (in which case you should know your intercept procedures).

Welcome to the In The Pattern Podcast.
This is a new Aviation podcast featuring 3 students pilots, John, Chris, and Mark, all working towards our private pilot certificates. Once a week we will be getting together to discuss our training, what we are learning, and other aviation related topics. This is a podcast about learning, aviation experiences, and enjoying the processes of learning to fly. No matter what ratings a pilot holds or doesn't hold, a pilot is always a student, learning as much as they can about flying, and we hope to capture that here as we earn our wings.
I have posted the intro music to the podcast in this post. Take a listen and let us know what you think. Our first episode will be up in the next day or so and we will be talking about what gave us the bug, and how got started in our training.
Finally, our goal for this podcast is not just to document our training to becoming private pilots. We are going to continue after we earn our wings since we will always be learning new things, having new experience, and gaining new ratings.
So whether you are about to take a checkride or you're an ATP with 20,000 hours, join us each week to learn new things, refresh on topics you haven't thought about in a while, or to just take a trip down memory lane.
