## Resource

✈️ Flight review coming up? Brandon walks through his 2-year flight review in a twin, from stalls to steep turns to one very human radio mistake. Co-host Carson Vasquez is out this week, so Brandon Martini takes the mic solo for an episode built around his own flight review. He covers what he practiced, what felt rusty, and what it taught him about staying proficient. What a 2-year flight review looked like in a twin: power-on and power-off stalls, slow flight, and steep turns Why steep turns feel different when you move from a slower airplane to a faster one, and how small control inputs swing your altitude The wrong radio frequency mistake, and why "just recover and fix it" is the right response Highlights from the Ascend Flight Training Summit in Dallas, including a Level D simulator and why showing up to events leads to job offers Student pilots, private pilots, and CFIs, keep showing up, keep flying, and keep learning. 🚀 🌐 New episodes of Aviation Mentors drop every week, wherever you listen.
