The Student Pilot Cast

Follow Bill as he progresses through his flight training. This is the audio only feed. The audio podcasts are not the same content as the video podcasts, so if you want all the content, please check out both. The video feed is mostly available on Youtube, now (inlcuding the back catalog), and you can find it by searching for "Student Pilot Cast" there or use this link: https://www.youtube.com/@studentpilotcast. The audio feed is more tied to the student experience, in cockpit training, with a few features and special events.

Helping me through Flight Training

This podcast is awesome. He has actual audio of his CFI, himself and ATC and he is completely transparent about his mistakes which makes me feel really good as a student pilot making my own mistake. Love it!

Part Time Pilot - Nick Smith Episode

Very interesting episode. Was cool listening to the thought process on how Nick created this business based off his own experiences with getting his private pilot license.

Great!

Listening to this as a potential Pilot has kept me motivated to getting my PPL someday. -Christopher

Even though not finished well worth it

Even though the student pilot did not finish the podcast before getting his license there is a ton of great info in here for low time and student pilots.

Really enjoyed listening leading up to my own training. Why did he stop?
