Aviation

In the studio this evening we have Bill Tischer

Welcome to exploring aviation Bill, so how did you get involved in aviation

well here

thirty

to years old

and network

one of my co-workers was forking to fly

and he was tell me how by natives and all the great stuff

soul he said yeah i should just go out to the airport watch people bounce

landings

and so long i drove up to the airport

pinocchio purchased on the road from here

and

end for two feet off the start

bangin onto the runway and people were walking away from publicis kaplan

and they had back then

it was an intro to play for fifteen dollars

and so you know they

cast the little real with the fifteen oh nine and then they took their rights of

the hook

and planned

eighteen years

about answering it

we now do you own your own aircraft at this point

yeah i've got two airplanes myself

and i'm in a club with four other airplanes fall

total six airplanes because you can never have enough airplanes

so i've heard about the certificate or against the first level of training

called the private pilot

uh... certificate would i i wanted to join the fight club but i'd be able to

do that mom with the private life

uh... there's actually even to other levels below the private

there is the recreational pilot

is sort of like a private pilot's license

on its debt

more tighter restrictions and what you can do

it costs less

because you don't have to do those extra things

and then

what was later on

himself up with the last five years as a sport pilot

which is catching on more than the rate com

recreational whisper pilot

um...

they actually created a category of airplane

so you don't have to go on

uh... playa sauce or whatever and so there's a lot of new airplanes coming

out now that

are in the sport pilot category

um... that's less training that a private pilot

uh... does have limitations like to camp lightly

he can't

extra training on long trips things like that

it's designed for the people that want to be able to disco out

and have some fun playing around

without all the extra stuff that made me zone they're not interested in any way

folding a safe time save money

and you get the file our cool new planes are just coming up

and remainder standing you

basically on

you're like a shareholder

in america yet so if you do a club

exactly sold the way these things work is you payloads anywhere from three

hundred dollars

down to the three year five thousand dollars depending on the club

and that gives you a share of that airplane

and

there's usually a monthly

dues kind of thing to belong to the club which is in the twenty five dollar range

something like that

and then there's the actual

cost of the airplane

clubs vary from time to time as far as what they charge

but in general there a little bit you for that

uh... going to a regular flexible

because

the members themselves are the ones flying it for the insurance rates are

generally lower

so they don't have to try to strike

sir style

so find me on

young high school soon and fourteen and i and say i'd like to go

tell my parents and i were flying from christ are at the age of fourteen or

that i want to wait on eighteen years old not of high school nope home the

only limitations yukio solo until you're sixteen years old

so you could start

applying at any age really but you just will be able to sold here sixteen

on my head a student

that his dad would bring in

armistead actually worked at lockheed martin designing

military fighter jets and stuff

and maybe three or four times he uh...

of the year

he would bring a suno

him and i think we start when he was twelve

little by little expose them more and more deviation followed by the time you

sixteen

what just happened plane

outside a mock crystalline

they'll be on as well

uh... grades so loved

he could start doing as private license and then if you wanted to go let's say

the airline later on

brave intentionally he could go to a university

rate continue his education along with his on exactly dept so

come to fly commercially maybe eighteen years old

uh... theirs

a few more things that you have to learn how to do

uh... there's that relaxed rules that you have to learn but

it's not a large skeptical from the private pilot to commercial pilot

and like you mentioned there is a number different ways you can do it you could

learn at a private schools such as the ones that in ok county airport

and

you'll do just fine

or you can go to places like the university of north dakota where you can

actually agree

army navy asian as well as

giving while you're fine credentials

just goes on

how you were doing

here haim

found that there is i rather misconception about

uh... when you say you're getting your commercial license everyone thinks

immediately

you're going in airline

does that have to do something with relation

or is it just and naming issue human wealth

the uh... commercial license allows you to get paid

so there's things that the f_a_a_ what you learn

so that you don't calls me accidents or

you know on

uh...

by people around for higher that

you know you may be able to fly people for higher but the airplanes art it'll

be fun for higher 'cause there's different regulations for maintenance

arm so the first step is to get the commercial license that allows you to

get paid but that like is that it doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna be

jumping into the laughs theater right seat of a boeing seven thirty-seven

there's fewer things you gotta learn right couple my fat exactly my course

the key for the seven thirty seven word he right

and we're scott that in fact backplate

fo and with your aerobatic fine

um... what types of

treated you have to go through for that

usually you're just gonna turn the plane upside down and go wow this is like a

fault

arm that's one way become aware of your own

uh... there's a lot of really fine pilots that just figured it out

and they're still with us today uh... then there is

actual instructors so that you can

you know for

whatever they charged take you up and aerobatic airplane learn how to do

films is power in the first basically over and we were on rolls lou

ts hammer has all that kind of stuff

but yet have a special plane

they can do that you can just do that with any older plateful him and practice

practice practice for it

rightly

those

probably your favorite part of your flying would you stay at war

you know every part of flying it's different for the post on what you're

doing

homemaker in the mood to go flat side down

then that's fine if you want to just goal

you know river and look at the countryside that into

homemaker hauling

you know uh... cancer patient

you know to their treatments

well it just depends good you're not going to do any aerobatics stuff with

her

you know doing all these cancer patient flights operated

it is a broad green giant

absolutely need to do with aviation

effect aside from making a career that at the airline

right near shows

uh... family

training people it

to be a flight instructor you could be a airline pilot you could be a air

ambulance pilot

you can be a maintenance person

by profound

where we learn it

that sounds great sounds great
