By Grant (Falcon124), on November 17th, 2012  Check out “Serge’s” book, it’s great has been released and it features a long chat we recorded with ‘Mac “Serge” Tucker’ about his career as an F18 pilot with the RAAF, his book “Fighter Pilot” and his views on drones & the future of air combat.
There’s lots of great content in this chat including some that’s funny, some that’s contentious and more than a few items that may make you stop & think. Check out the episode and then go out & pick up a copy of Serge’s book “Fighter Pilot”.

By Grant (Falcon124), on November 3rd, 2012  Introducing Damien Rose has been released at last! With so many chats & interviews from Oshkosh 2012 (& 2011 :) plus the introduction of a new Team PCDU member, it was a huge effort for Steve to edit it. Heck, even Grant had a lot to do when writing up the show notes.
In this episode, we tag along with ATC_Ben on his visit to Oshkosh 2012, discussing his journey there & listening to a few of the interviews he recorded (yes, we’re still jealous we couldn’t get there!). We then introduce long-time listener Damien Rose who’s joining us as our Queensland correspondent & lives about 2,000km north of PCDU HQ. Finally, we play a few of the interviews Steve & Grant recorded at Oshkosh 2011 to help us feel a bit better about not being there this year (nope, still jealous! :)

By Grant (Falcon124), on October 7th, 2012  PCDU Narrating at AusFly is out and it features our review of AusFly, some of our AusFly interviews and our interview with Gordon Rich-Phillips, the Victorian state minister for the Aviation Industry (among other portfolios :)
Hopefully it won’t be a month before we have our next episode out for you.

By Grant (Falcon124), on September 17th, 2012  We had a fantastic time at AusFly over the 14th to 16th of September at Narromine Airport. Our AusFly Radio was played live over the PA system and livestreamed to the Internet thanks to LiveATC.net and our Shoutcast feed.
Congratulations to all the organisers & volunteers from the SAAA who helped make it happen, along with the sponsors, exhibitors & display pilots plus all the people who showed up to attend the event. With over 300 aircraft pre-registered it was estimated that over 400 aircraft flew in. The aero club produced over 500 meals on the Friday night in addition to the pizza guy selling out & the burger n chips cart doing a roaring trade. Fantastic!
Now the planning starts for next year’s event. Bring it on!
By Grant (Falcon124), on August 17th, 2012  Helene Young: Dash-8 Captain and Author It’s taken a while but we’ve finally managed to release our interview with Helene Young, a Dash-8 captain with the regionals who has also written three novels following the adventures of two female pilots with the Australian border patrol in the far north of Queensland.
In addition to Helene’s chat, we also have Steve’s interview with Peter Sobey from Sharp Airlines, Grant’s chat with Chris Dewhirst (the first man to fly a hot air balloon over Mt Everest) and a new View from the Lounge.
Get on over to PCDU Episode 92: Helene Young – A Novel Approach to Flying and check it out!
By Grant (Falcon124), on July 24th, 2012  Always give way to Balloons :) Our latest episode is out and the ‘New Horizons’ we’re referring to are not all about Grant’s new hot air balloon pilot certificate (although he’d probably like it to be :) While we do chat briefly about it, the episode is packed with lots of great content that isn’t all hot air:
- Bas & AntCB chat with Steve about iPad apps appearing in cockpits of all sizes
- Bas answers AntCB’s questions about OzRunways
- Pieter Johnson has sent us some interviews with Australians exhibiting at Farnborough
- Peter Gibson from CASA talks about the new, easier Class 2 Medicals and also the shift from paper to electronic formats for the Flight Safety Australia magazine
- We talk to Aviation Australia about their training courses and the Aviation Careers Expo
- Grant interviews Alan Joyce (no, really!!!! :)
All this and more in PCDU Episode 91: New Horizons :)
By Grant (Falcon124), on May 27th, 2012 Update: Our 787 DreamTour ‘quick cast’ has been released. Check it out at PCDU Episode 88: Dreamtime
At the invitation of Qantas & Jetstar, we spent some time today exploring the 787 ZA003 with its demonstration customer interior. The aircraft is visiting Australia & New Zealand as part of the DreamTour and today’s leg brought it to Melbourne.
In addition to getting to walk around & through the aircraft, we had some time to enjoy the cockpit, record a great interview with Captain Todd Abraham from Boeing and also have some casual chats with a few of the Boeing Flight Test Engineers who were on the tour.
It was a great experience and we’d like to thank Boeing, Qantas & Jetstar for helping to make it happen.
 Steve & Grant on the Flight Deck of 787 ZA003 You can see all the photos we took today in our PCDU Flickr Stream.
We’ll be releasing our chat with Todd in our next episode. Watch this space :)
Update: Our 787 DreamTour ‘quick cast’ has been released. Check it out at PCDU Episode 88: Dreamtime
