<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>In this special crossover episode, Max Trescott, host of the Aviation News Talk podcast, appears as a guest on Dr. Tony Kern’s Only Human podcast. The two aviation safety advocates engage in a candid, insightful conversation that bridges their shared backgrounds in aviation, safety culture, and leadership.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>The episode begins with a segment called “This Week in Safety Land,” spotlighting a tragic helicopter crash involving tourists over the Hudson River. The Director of Operations (DO) at the company involved chose to cease operations pending investigation, only to be overruled and fired by the CEO—prompting FAA intervention. Max and Tony reflect on this as a textbook example of the ongoing conflict between operational production and safety protection, a dynamic familiar in aviation, military, and corporate environments alike. They explore how profit-driven decisions often undermine safety, and how organizations with high-risk operations must prioritize a culture that empowers safety-conscious leadership.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"linkDestination":"custom"} --></p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href= "https://www.lightspeedaviation.com/product/delta-zulu-anr-headset/?campaign=Delta%20Zulu&ref=63"> <img src= "https://aviationnewstalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Lightspeed-Newsletter-Delta-Zulu-banner-2.jpg" alt= "This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Lightspeed-Newsletter-Delta-Zulu-banner-2.jpg" /></a></figure> <p><!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Tony shares a story of elephants at the San Diego Zoo sensing an earthquake before it was perceptible to humans—forming a protective circle around the young. Max likens this to the importance of organizational structures that support bottom-up safety communication. Drawing on his early career at Hewlett-Packard, he praises HP’s open-door policy that encouraged employees to escalate safety issues when necessary. He stresses that open communication channels are essential, especially in high-risk domains.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Max then shares his personal journey from a successful 25-year career at HP to full-time aviation after a layoff. What began as a side hobby teaching flying eventually evolved into a full-time vocation, spurred in part by a deeply personal tragedy: the death of a close friend and five others in a preventable aircraft accident. Max, who arrived on the crash scene within 45 minutes and attended multiple funerals that week, found a new purpose—preventing similar accidents by educating pilots.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>That experience drove Max to start Aviation News Talk, where he strives to deliver rich, actionable content on general aviation safety. His mission: to save lives by making safety knowledge accessible, engaging, and relevant to every pilot—from student to professional. He explains that his podcast is designed to offer “at least one nugget of value per episode” that listeners can apply immediately.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Tony and Max discuss the unglamorous public perception of safety roles—often viewed as dull or punitive. Tony notes that safety officers are often assigned the job after incidents or during grounding periods. Max offers a reframing: don’t lead with safety—lead with professionalism. If pilots strive to be excellent in their craft, safety naturally follows. “Do your job well, be curious, be disciplined,” Max says—traits that elevate both personal performance and safety outcomes.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>They turn to current trends, asking whether aviation is getting less safe. While total accident numbers may be down, Max points out that media coverage is up, and many general aviation (GA) accidents—especially runway excursions involving business jets—suggest continued risks. What matters more than raw numbers, he explains, is the <strong>accident rate per 100,000 hours flown</strong>, data that lags by over a year. For GA pilots, the accident risk remains significant, especially among newer or less experienced pilots.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Looking forward, Max and Tony explore the safety challenges of tomorrow. Max debunks the idea of achieving a static “safe state” and explains that aviation is inherently dynamic—subject to changes in personnel, technology, weather, and processes. He highlights the importance of conducting safety assessments prior to changes in operations, procedures, or equipment. Quoting safety expert Todd Conklin, Max describes accidents as “the unexpected combination of normal aviation variability,” reinforcing the need for ongoing vigilance.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Tony adds that while technological innovations—like AI, automation, and real-time training—offer efficiency, they don’t guarantee increased safety. Often, humans simply push the margins when given better tools. He uses anti-lock brakes as an analogy: rather than driving more safely, people just drive faster. Similarly, faster, cheaper training methods could reduce experience levels without solving core human performance issues.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>The conversation closes with Max outlining the timeless characteristics of a great aviator:</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list --></p> <ul> <li><strong>Judgment</strong> – the most critical trait, separating the skilled from the safe.</li> <li><strong>Curiosity</strong> – a desire to learn, explore, and seek out knowledge.</li> <li><strong>Discipline and consistency</strong> – following procedures and making flights “boring” in the best way.</li> <li><strong>Situational awareness</strong> – understanding not just your own position, but what everyone else in the airspace is trying to do.</li> <li><strong>Humility</strong> – recognizing that overconfidence kills and that learning never stops.</li> </ul> <p><!-- /wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Max emphasizes that aviation teaches life skills: staying humble, seeking excellence, and always being ready to learn. He ends by inviting listeners to consider flight training—not just for fun, but as a profound growth experience. Learning to fly, he says, can change how you see the world and yourself.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Tony echoes the sentiment, encouraging listeners to take a discovery flight and explore the possibility. As the episode wraps, both hosts agree: while aviation may be unforgiving, it offers unmatched rewards for those who approach it with professionalism and passion.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>If you're getting value from this show, please <a href= "https://aviationnewstalk.com/support">support the show</a> via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or Patreon.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Support the Show by buying a Lightspeed ANR Headsets</strong><br /> Max has been using only Lightspeed headsets for nearly 25 years!

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Max talks with ferry pilot Sarah Rovner, founder of Full Throttle Aviation, about her adventures and challenges flying planes across continents. Sarah stumbled into ferry flying when she helped deliver a plane and quickly found herself flying everything from gliders to agricultural aircraft across Central America and even the Atlantic. Her unique edge wasn’t just piloting—it was handling the complex international paperwork required for cross-border flights.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"linkDestination":"custom"} --></p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href= "https://www.lightspeedaviation.com/product/delta-zulu-anr-headset/?campaign=Delta%20Zulu&ref=63"> <img src= "https://aviationnewstalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Lightspeed-Newsletter-Delta-Zulu-banner-2.jpg" alt= "This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Lightspeed-Newsletter-Delta-Zulu-banner-2.jpg" /></a></figure> <p><!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Sarah explains the nuances of flying foreign-registered aircraft, using handlers, and dealing with customs and regulatory hurdles in countries like Mexico and Canada. She shares hair-raising tales like flying over the Arctic in winter in a Cessna 210, discovering a failed axle, and performing repairs in subzero temps. She’s faced oxygen failures, ferry tank malfunctions, and the infamous “ice bridging” during Atlantic crossings.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Despite the flat-rate pay and frequent mechanical delays, Sarah loves the freedom, camaraderie, and adventure. She also trains and mentors pilots, including retirees and aspiring time-builders, emphasizing the importance of judgment over just stick-and-rudder skills. Her company now provides aircraft imports, paperwork, and check rides, and she encourages others interested in ferry work to learn multiple aircraft types and fly smart.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>If you're getting value from this show, please <a href= "https://aviationnewstalk.com/support">support the show</a> via PayPal, Venmo, Zelle or Patreon.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p><strong>Support the Show by buying a Lightspeed ANR Headsets</strong><br /> Max has been using only Lightspeed headsets for nearly 25 years!

<p><!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Max discusses engine-out scenarios and best glide strategies, prompted by listener feedback on Episode 372, which analyzed the crash of a Bonanza B35B (N2UZ) that suffered engine failure at 7,500 feet near Charlottesville, VA. Although the pilot did many things correctly, he overshot a long field and crashed. Max highlights choices that might have improved the outcome, such as flight following and alternate route planning.</p> <p><!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:image {"linkDestination":"custom"} --></p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><a href= "https://www.lightspeedaviation.com/product/delta-zulu-anr-headset/?campaign=Delta%20Zulu&ref=63"> <img src= "https://aviationnewstalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Lightspeed-Newsletter-Delta-Zulu-banner-2.jpg" alt= "This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is Lightspeed-Newsletter-Delta-Zulu-banner-2.jpg" /></a></figure> <p><!-- /wp:image --> <!-- wp:paragraph --></p> <p>Listener emails, read by Aviation News Talk intern Kelly, offer insights and experiences. Karen Larson shares how a conversation about the episode helped her husband safely land a T6 with a failed engine. David Dismore and Nico Ghilardi emphasize the value of practicing power-off landings, especially from high altitudes. Daniel Switkin points out that glide range rings in EFB apps may not always be reliable, referencing an AOPA test. Carter Boswell inquires about glide differences between windmilling and stopped props. Max references Peter Garrison and Tom Turner for technical insight.
