Ever wonder who the Dodge of aviation could be? Get ready to embark on a flight of fancy as we mull over the big names in the aviation industry, Piper and Cessna, and equate them with automotive giants like Ford and Chevy. Our journey takes us to land of aircraft ownership, where we analyze the value and cost of certain models, including the Citation 2, Generation 2. We even humorously contemplate the perks of jet ownership – a luxury we agree would require some serious financial skyrockets!
We then change our flight path, envisioning a world of self-driving RVs which redefine convenience. Imagine sleeping on the go and waking up at your destination – a deviation from the usual hustle of driving. We share anecdotes from our pit stops at Love's truck stop and discuss the diverse vibes of different states. We may be aviation enthusiasts, but we readily admit that sometimes, the journey truly is as important as the destination. Join us for a spirited mix of education, entertainment, and the occasional diversion into unexpected, but definitely interesting territories!

Strap in, aviation enthusiasts, because this episode is designed to get your propellers spinning! We kick off the podcast with an uplifting review from 'Corn D0g', a dedicated listener who tunes into our show every Thursday during his commute from work. Corn Dog is an aspiring pilot, training on both a Cessna 172 and a Cherokee 180. He's a testament to our mission of balancing practical knowledge with engaging entertainment, and we are delighted to have him on board.
Then we rumble into a riveting debate on the Cherokee's design. Can you believe the landing gear is actually mounted to the wings bar? Yes, you heard it right! We raise the red flag on this design approach, arguing that it makes every rough landing a stress test for the wings bar. We are curious to hear your take on this. Do you share our concern or do you think we are just making a mountain out of a molehill? And if you're a Cessna fan, why not drop lee a line at faraim@leegriffing.com and share the reasons behind your loyalty. We are all ears for your insights on this burning debate. So come and join our conversation. Let’s chat wings, landing gears, and everything in between!

Ever laughed so hard you had to pause and catch your breath? Prepare to be tickled pink as we read out a five-star review by the intriguingly named Pilot Hunter V.

Pull up a chair, lend an ear and let us regale you with our funny conjectures about Pilot Hunter V’s profession and our shared disdain for airlines. As we navigate through the episode, listen in on our good-humored bantering about our preference for bicycles over congested "big tubes" that are airplanes. Feel free to chuckle along as we react to Pilot Hunter V’s tongue-in-cheek request for country music, sparking an entertaining discourse about our music source, Epidemic Sound.

Ever wished for a chance to have your reviews read aloud by your favorite podcast hosts? Well, Sean Yee from Pittsburgh got that chance in our latest episode! Sean is currently navigating through Sporty's online ground school and shared with us his thoughts on our blend of humor, advice, and hearty debates. We were so amused by his engaging review, we even had a good laugh trying out various pronunciations of his name.
We then got a bit nostalgic, reminiscing about our own flight training experiences. I, Scott, shared about my time in Sporty's program while my co-host fondly remembered his older learning method involving VHS tapes from the King school. Who would have thought that we’d be in an era where most people learn to fly from YouTube videos? This walk down memory lane brought some laughs as we playfully bickered about our partners' trust issues when it comes to our flying abilities. Join us for these light-hearted discussions, personal stories, and insights on the contemporary ways of learning to fly.

The audio from the Ryan Eckel episode had issues and couldn't be used for this episode. Scott and Lee saved the day by recording this the Tuesday prior to the Thursday release. Rob couldn't be bothered to show up until the last few mins. Rob then got the "flu" Tuesday night. The edit of this clip is non-existent, because Rob's a deadbeat that doesn't wanna get out of bed now that he has the flu.

Just noticed that I have a ton of people that have signed up for the email list and never responded to the conformation email that go's out immediately after you sign up.
This is most likely caused by that initial email ending up in your spam folder.
If you have signed up for the email list but have never seen an email from me you are most likely in this situation.
Follow these steps to fix the issue:
- Check your spam folder for an email from me around the time you signed up.
- Search your spam folder for the terms "robert berger" and/or "faraim podcast".
- When you find the email, click on the link within the email that lets the system know that you want to be on the list.
- Move the email to your inbox/mark the email as "NOT Spam".
- Add faraim@robertberger.com email address to your contacts.
If you do not find this email, and think you may not be on the list, sign up again at the link above.
If you haven't signed up yet at all, signup with the link above and then follow the steps.

In order to learn about how the audience listen's to the show, we decided to record an episode that we (like you) can listen to as if we are hearing everything for the first time.
Sometimes it's difficult to put ourselves in the listeners seat, but we managed to pull it off in the most heavily edited episode in FAR AIM Podcast history.
Any references to other shows is incorrect as we assumed at the time of recording that this would be episode #019.
Enjoy the episode that we almost didn't publish...

Robert rudely leaves out Lee and Scott from the intro as the episode quickly turns into a argument about whether or not you need a commercial pilots license to run booze out to the island and also, private vs. commercial for selling photography services. Scott schools Lee and Robert on BasicMed and more.

In the most unprepared for episode in FAR AIM history, Lee, Scott & Robert try to cover FAR 61.107. And by try to cover... I mean Robert ends up just reading the Private Pilots ACS (Airman Certification Standards). Lee gives unsolicited advice to flight instructors about pre-flight instruction and talks taxiway speed limits. Scott tries to recall if he has a check list still, everyone gets into and argument about how to bring an airplane in for landing (stabilized approach vs. power-off approach) and so much more! Taking a check ride for your private pilots certificate? We cover the highlights of what can be covered on your flight with the Designated Examiner.
