EP179 - Information Whiskey: Pimp the Plane or the Pilot, But You Can't Pimp Both

EP179 - Information Whiskey: Pimp the Plane or the Pilot, But You Can't Pimp Both

It's Information Whiskey time, and we're only one episode late — which, as Brian would say, is basically on time. Brian's commercial checkride is less than two weeks out, which means Lucy has been getting a workout and the chandelle has chosen violence. Mark crashes the Discord and the podcast in the same evening, Ted is somehow alive despite a brush with man flu, and a listener's tachometer cable failure at Sun 'n Fun reminds us all that airplanes love to choose the most inconvenient possible moment to express themselves. We dig into the surprisingly philosophical world of commercial regulations — where "do you have operational control?" is apparently all you need to know, until it absolutely isn't — debate whether AI is the future of aviation study or just a very confident guesser, and somehow end up at the conclusion that private pilots are pilots, instrument pilots are meteorologists, and commercial pilots are lawyers who can't bill by the hour. Monroe is a hornet's nest, the Cessna 140 is the VW Bug of airplanes, and Brian is headed to Mark's house. The pantry awaits.
