Dylan and Max are joined (again) by everyone’s favorite multi-hyphenate pilot, Seth Lake. This time, he walks them through the process of reinstating their expired CFI certificates—turns out it’s not as terrifying as they thought. From FOIs to ACS, Seth breaks it down like a DPE Jedi. If you've let your CFI lapse, or you're just morbidly curious, this one’s for you.

Max shares his PM flying grind and how soft pay is easing the sting—plus a soggy New Orleans beignet run. The Mailbag is loaded this week with tales from a long-haul trucker pilot, NetJets rejection therapy, type rating dilemmas, and the dreaded training contracts making a comeback. In Flight Advice, a low-time pilot lands a dream SIC gig and asks: how do you not screw this up? Max and Dylan break down how to stand out and stay sharp as a new jet FO.

Dylan and Max kick off with hotel room hacks and tire maintenance DIYs (bed liner on bush wheels, anyone?). In the mailbag, listeners chime in on cicadas, bar recs, AI dolls, and a heartfelt shoutout to a rockstar CFI. Flight Advice features a double header: first, whether to stick with an aviation degree or pivot, and second, a pilot blindsided by a mysterious 135 termination—and the training contract bill that followed.

Dylan and Max debut their slick new intro track, give a proper welcome to their AI assistant "Reginald Sage," and swap tales from off-airport landings and Vegas tire goo mysteries. The Mailbag is packed with listener feedback on etiquette videos, bird segments, and even a nighttime trucking dispatch. In Flight Advice, a 26-year-old CFI wonders if a gig flying in Dubai is a golden ticket or a trap. The guys break it down with laughs, caution, and a few hydration tips.

In 1995, a team of aviation cowboys set out on a mission that sounds too crazy to be real: fly a WWII B-29 bomber out of the Arctic after 50 years of abandonment. But as guest Vernon Rich tells us, things did not go as planned. From rigging up fuel pumps with trash equipment to landing a Caribou with propane-inflated tires, this story has it all—engineering ingenuity, brutal cold, and a heartbreaking ending. Strap in for one of the wildest aircraft recovery stories ever attempted.

Dylan and Max kick things off with a deep dive into the real debates that matter—hotel chain allegiances and the latest pilot hangout in Dallas. Max shares the chaos of nearly missing the birth of his child, a wild Honda Jet radio exchange, and an unexpected submarine sighting.

In this episode, we're joined by Seth Lake, SWA Pilot and an FAA Designated Pilot Examiner (DPE), who shares invaluable insights into the life of a DPE and its potential as a side gig for professional pilots. Seth delves into the current dynamics of the flight training industry, outlines the qualifications necessary to become a DPE, and offers strategic advice to make your application stand out. Beyond the intricacies of becoming a DPE, Seth provides essential checkride tips for student pilots. The episode wraps up with a memorable story from Seth, recounting a humorous experience with a nervous student during a checkride.
Links Seth mentions in the interview:
Dynamic Regulatory System: Home of the 8900.1, which is the Flight Standards Information Management System. Volume 5, Chapter 2 acts as our guidebook for conducting practical tests as DPEs.
8000.95 Designee Management Policy - Lists the specific qualifications needed by pilots applying to be a DPE in Chapter 2.
8000.2C General Aviation Airman Designee Handbook - Most of this is superseded by the 8900.1 and 8000.95, but we still use Ch 7, Sect 2-11 & 13-21
Designee Management System (DMS) - This website is where we manage our practical tests and where users need to create an account in order to apply to become a DPE.
Designee Registration System (DRS) - This website has the online training portal for the DPE training you need to accomplish before being designated.

In this episode, we delve into the world of aviation training with Dave from Advanced Air Crew Academy. As the Director of Instructional Design, Dave shares innovative approaches to enhancing recurrent training for 135 pilots, moving beyond traditional, formulaic methods to scenario-based learning. This technique aims to shift pilots' attitudes towards training, making it more engaging and effective by simulating real-world challenges pilots face. Through Dave's insights, we explore how storytelling and practical, scenario-driven exercises can significantly impact pilots' decision-making skills and overall safety in aviation.

We are joined by Brian Bomhoff, founder and executive director of the Pilot Mental Health Campaign. Brian shared his journey from being a pilot and political organizer to spearheading an advocacy group focused on revising FAA regulations related to mental health in aviation. Key discussions included the importance of coherent policy advocacy, the role of personal experiences in shaping policy, and the need for a generational shift in addressing pilot mental health issues. The episode also highlighted significant events like the NTSB roundtable and FAA rulemaking initiatives, emphasizing the urgency of reform in the aviation industry's approach to mental health.
