Welcome to episode 302. Today we discuss how the FAA's Flight Inspection Group, better known to us pilots as "Flight Check", ensure our safety during instrument approaches. Joining us today is our co-host and flight check pilot Russ Roslewski to give us an inside look at what flight inspection is and what it is like to fly as a flight inspection pilot.

ACP348. How does flight inspection benefit the general aviation pilot? What planes do you fly? What does a typical week's mission consist of? What types of maneuvers and flight profiles do you fly? Why are ground-based navigation aids relevant and will they be in the future? Why should we be thankful to hear the call sign "Flight Check" and not think of it as an inconvenience to our flying? We wanted to include Russ Roslewski's most challenging approach to add to our last episode.

There's a particular sound that fills the cockpit when the microphone key is held just a bit too long-a soft hum of shared connection and stories waiting to be told. That's the spirit captured in Stuck Mic AvCast, an ongoing conversation led by Carl Valeri and a seasoned crew of co-hosts including Victoria Neuville, Rick Felty, and Eric Crump. This isn't a sterile technical lecture, but a hangar-floor chat that spans the entire journey from that first spark of curiosity to a lifetime spent in the air. You'll hear from pilots like Tom Frick, Russ Roslewski, and Larry Overstreet as they dig into the real-world nuances of training, the unexpected challenges of cross-country flights, and the simple, enduring joy that keeps them returning to the runway. Each episode feels like pulling up a chair among friends who get it, discussing everything from gear and regulations to the philosophy of flight itself. Tune in for a podcast that celebrates every facet of aviation, where the passion is as clear as a controller's instruction and the stories are as varied as the skies above.
