SPC #004-Grooving with 6.6 Hours

Wednesday, 23 April 2008 23:55 by Bill Williams

In episode 4 we talk about the continuation of training after my vacation, some things my wife and I saw in Seattle.  We also cover recording in cockpit, landings, and where I'm at with training.  I've got 6.6 hours now.

I apologize for the long delay of over two weeks, but I was on vacation, and then work had me slammed.  My wife and I went to Seattle, and I wanted to include a couple of pics from that...some of this is discussed in this episode.

First, one of my favorites.  Look at the little guy in front of the brand new 777 before a test flight out of Paine Field.  The scary thing is...compared to what I'm flying, that little plane is big...and in this photo is a good 300 feet or so closer to the camera, so its really even smaller than it looks relative to the jumbo.

Here is the same 777 on its takeoff roll, and lifting off.

 

Here is a giant freighter being loaded...that was quite a site.

 

And a nice shot of the Seattle skyline from the water.

I have jsut started listening to your podcast after hearing about it on an episode of pilotcast. I am very much like you in that I have been interested in aviation for as long as I can remember. I'm always reading books and the FAR-AIM just for fun - I swear I'm not crazy.

Anyway, I finally have a job that allows me to be able to afford flight training on a more regular basis than once or twice a year, and I am going to begin really soon.

I love your idea of recording the cockpit audio, and I was wondering what technique you use now. You mentioned in this episode that you have figured out a more robust method of recording that did not involve a microphone or an open port on the intercom. I was jsut wondering exactly what equipment you use and how you set it up. Thanks for this very informative podcast! This is just what I was searching for!
