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. Also, who got the number to the tower?

In this episode, Brad tells us a personal story about Carbon Monoxide Poisoning and why it’s important to be aware of it and how to prevent it. Winter weather and cold engine starts are also discussed (a topic very unknown to Chris). 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.

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.

Chris flies through there a lot to get from one side of the PHX Bravo airspace to the other. Brad is jealous because the MSP Bravo airspace is right in his way (he flies out of MIC, just Northwest of MSP) and there are no VFR transition corridors, so he has to go around it.

In this episode, Mark discusses his reasons for the lack of flying he has been doing and Brad talks about his Instrument progress including Circle to Land and 0/0 takeoff. John also gets really confused over fuel sumps and GATS jars while Chris prepares for checkride number 2. Also John takes his friend up just before he is out of currency and gets to practice his wake turbulence avoidance.
