EP 12 - Leon Evans: The Steward of the Lancaster

Mike sits down with Captain (Retired... sort of...) Leon Evans for a conversation about flying the legend that is the Avro Lancaster. As long time Chief Pilot at Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum and training captain on one of only two remaining airworthy Lancasters in the world, Leon shares with us what it means to carry the Lanc's legacy, as well as the personal connections forged around it. Listen in as Leon tells us about how a group of Canadian's took a World War II bomber across the Atlantic Ocean to meet its UK counterpart almost 70 years after the war ended. This episode explores what it means to be a steward of aviation history in the modern world. Honest, reflective, and deeply human -- this is more than a conversation about the aircraft itself. It's about the stories that refuse to fade. In Memory of Captain Don Schofield 1941 - 2026.

EP 11 - Growing Up Together - Captain Rashid Nazir

Rashid and Mike share a lot in common in terms of their journey through the Canadian aviation industry. Initially working on a Beech 1900, they cut their teeth together as they battled adverse weather across Canada. Rashid’s journey, however, started in Pakistan where he learned to fly. Listen in to Rashid’s story of how he made the leap to come to Canada and started from the bottom on the east coast as a flight instructor and dispatcher and worked his way up to eventually flying the Boeing 777 and becoming a mainline captain. Rashid tells us about the experiences that made him the aviator and professional he is today and how he gives back what he’s learned to the aviation industry.

EP 08 - Learning to Fly — Getting Your Private Pilot Licence

Do you dream about flying? Ever wanted to become a pilot? “How do I become a pilot?” is a question professional pilots get all the time. Whether you want to become a professional pilot or just fly for fun, getting your Private Pilot Licence (PPL) is where most start! In this episode, Mike and his good friend Melissa talk about how to go about getting your flight training started, finding the right flight school and instructor, the steps your training will take, equipment you might need and other advice to make you successful. Some notes from the show: • The Familiarization (Fam) Flight is also commonly called the Discovery Flight • A PPL student is trained to be a visual flight rules (VFR) pilot. This means they have to have reference to the ground at all times, not the horizon. Although when learning to fly, the horizon is used as your reference point for the attitude of the aircraft. • Minimum flight hours required to hold a PPL is 45 hours which shall include a minimum of 17 hours dual, 3 hours dual cross country, 5 hours instrument, 17 hours solo, of which 5 hours must be solo cross country. • On average, most students will take an average of 60-80 hours or more to complete their flight training. This is due to weather delays, instructor or aircraft availability, frequency of flight lessons, commitment to training etc. • 40 hours of ground school must be completed before writing the Transport Canada written exam • A Category III medical is required to hold a PPL • To acquire a PPL, the candidate must be at least 17 years of age. This means they must be 17 to hold the license, but can fly solo at 14 years old. Contact your local flight school for more information about learning to fly!
