About this episode
🎙️ Flying into chaos? Brandon and Carson are here to navigate it—with zero oil pressure, surprise coyotes, and some FAA test nightmares along the way. In this no-holds-barred listener Q&A episode, they tackle real pilot dilemmas: What to do when your gear won’t go up (or down), how to survive the busiest uncontrolled fly-ins, and why ChatGPT might be your best study buddy. Packed with personal stories, wild in-flight surprises, and practical tips, this one’s part flight school, part comedy show. Buckle up—this is not your average ground school!
