Have you ever wondered how a pilot could crash during flight training with a CFI on board?

That kind of thing just shouldn't happen.

Yet this past week, there have been several fatal training accidents with CFIs on board.

So today we're talking with CFI John Fiscus of the Flight Academy about how CIFIs can lower their risk while teaching in the traffic pattern.

Hello again and welcome to Aviation News Talk where we talk general aviation.

safest possible pilot. Last week in episode 333, we talked with Mark

Colber about what pilots need to know when they have a violation and come into contact with the

FAA. So if you didn't hear that episode, you may want to check it out at AviationNewstalk.com

week of June 10th, 2024, it's summertime where there's more flying because of the better weather and longer days, and sadly, there are more accidents.

But there's a right spot to summer, and that is that you could possibly win an L39 jet, and we'll tell you how.

All this and more, and the news starts now.

So let's jump right in and talk about those several flight training accidents that have happened in the last week.
