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

I'm Max Truscott. I'm the author of several books on the Garmin G-1000, 3,000, 5,000, and prospective class cockpits and the 2008 National Flight Instructor of the Year.

Mark and I also share some stories about pilots who weren't fully aware of all their surroundings.
