Ever wondered what pilots actually talk about when the cockpit door is closed? Captains Speaking-An Aviation Podcast pulls up a seat in that conversation, hosted by two active airline captains, Petter Hörnfeldt and Ben Watts. You might know Petter from his detailed incident analyses on the Mentour Pilot YouTube channel, while Ben is his longtime collaborator from their work on Mentour Now. Together, they ditch the scripted PR talk to offer a genuine, behind-the-scenes look at their profession. Each episode feels like eavesdropping on a candid chat between two colleagues who have seen it all, discussing everything from the technical nuances of flying and deconstructing real-world aviation events to the broader culture and societal impacts of air travel. This isn't about dry procedures; it's about the human stories, the split-second decisions, and the fascinating realities of a life spent at 35,000 feet. Tune in for an unfiltered perspective that only insiders can provide, where expertise meets everyday experience. The Captains Speaking podcast delivers that rare blend of deep knowledge and accessible storytelling, making the complex world of commercial aviation both understandable and utterly compelling for anyone curious about what happens between takeoff and landing.
