You're planning a day VFR flight. You're heading out to a remote airstrip, somewhere in the Australian outback. It's a beautiful day, you've checked the weather, you've got your GAF, visibility looks good, cloud is well above anything that's going to bother you, and there's nothing particularly concerning along the route.
But there's one problem.
There's no TAF for your destination.
So here's the question.
Do you need an alternate aerodrome?

I often get asked whether self-study is better than attending a classroom course. The answer might surprise you.
After nearly three decades of instructing and examining pilots, I've seen brilliant pilots come from both pathways... and I've also seen some pretty average ones.
The problem usually isn't how you learnt.
It's what happened after you learnt it.

If you’ve ever been to an airshow in Australia lately, chances are you’ve seen this man in action—pushing his Wolf Pitts to its limits, delivering precision aerobatics, displaying pristine warbirds and putting on a show with his team that leaves crowds absolutely speechless.
But behind those displays is a lifetime of work… from the early days of learning to fly, to mastering aerobatics, building one of the most impressive warbird fleets in the country, and performing on some of the biggest stages in the world—including EAA AirVenture Oshkosh.
We’ll talk about what really goes into an aerial display, the reality of running an airshow, and importantly, we’ll talk about legacy… flying alongside his son Jett, and what the future looks like.
This is a great conversation with a true professional of the industry.

Would you like to know more? Flick me a message!
The cost of operating in Australian aviation — whether you’re a student working toward your CPL, a private pilot trying to keep current, or an operator running a training fleet — has risen sharply over the past few years. It’s not one thing. It’s everything, all at once. And for a sector that was already running on tight margins before COVID, the compounding effect of these increases is genuinely threatening the accessibility and viability of general aviation in this country.
In this episode I want to break down each of the major cost pressures, talk about what it means for operators, pilots, and students, and finish with some practical budgeting strategies for those trying to stay airborne.

Imagine you’ve just lifted off.
You’re passing 200 feet. Everything feels normal.
Then the engine note changes.
Not silence…
not failure…
just a rough, struggling loss of power.The aircraft is still climbing — but barely.
Do you keep going?
Turn back?
Land ahead?
In the next few seconds, the wrong decision can be fatal.

You might already hold a night VFR rating, be working towards an instrument rating, or be planning to start one soon. And at some point in your training, someone will tell you that once you’re qualified, you’re “allowed” to fly at night.
But today I want to challenge that idea.
Because being allowed to fly at night, and being genuinely ready to fly at night — especially on instruments — are not the same thing.

Every flight instructor has faced the same moment.
You see a student starting to unravel. Directional control is slipping, workload is climbing, and things are heading in the wrong direction. Instinct kicks in — you reach for the controls to “help”.
That moment — the decision to assist rather than decisively take over — sits at the centre of a recent Australian court case that ended in a training aircraft crash, the loss of a student’s flying career, and almost $800,000 in damages awarded against a flight training organisation.
This case should make every instructor and operator pause and reflect.

I’ve been asking pilots a simple question: how well did your training actually prepare you for real-world flying?
The answers have been confronting. Not because they’re emotional — but because they’re consistent.
This episode isn’t about naming names. It’s about listening to what students are telling us, identifying the patterns, and asking whether we’re truly training pilots… or just getting them through tests.

Today we’re going to break down what CFIT and LOC-I actually mean, why they’re still such a stubborn problem, what the leading causes look like across airlines, helicopters, and general aviation, and how we train to mitigate them — including the tricky bit: risk versus reward in training, and where simulators genuinely move the needle.
