In This Week’s Episode
A Masterclass in Aeroplane Cleaning
In this episode, Luke Dale explains why cleaning your aeroplane is a vital maintenance task, shares the best techniques, the products that actually work (and the ones that don’t), and why the CAA is starting to regulate this industry.
Luke is the co-founder and director of Vertigo Detailing and the man to teach us all about cleaning our airplanes.
Flying at night
Flying at night has a certain allure. The calm air, the quiet frequencies, the shimmering city lights below, but behind that beauty lies a series of hazards and mental traps that challenge even the most experienced aviator. In this episode, Philippe Polman guides us through what we should be aware of when flying after sunset.
