Hello again and welcome to Aviation News Talk where we talk General Aviation with relevant news and flying tips for pilots and student pilots like you to help keep you safe.

Hi, Max Truscott.

Today we'll be talking with Dr. Scott Denssted about his easy WX brief weather app that not only briefs you on the weather, but also compares it against your personal minimums to

help you with decision-making. And we'll be talking about magazine columnist Martha Lunkin's

decision last year to fly under a bridge. Last week in episode 184, we talked with Boeing test pilot

John Tugas about his total engine failure while he was IFR and a beach bonanza. So if you didn't hear that

episode, I really encourage you to check it out. And I'd also like to ask for your help in growing

the show. If you would take a moment right now, find the share button on whatever app that you're

using to listen to me right now and share aviation news talk with a friend who you think might

benefit from the show. And then follow up with him or her to follow or subscribe to the show.

Thanks so much for your help.
