If you have a question you'd like answered on the show, let listeners hear you ask the question, by recording your listener question using your phone.
Max talks in detail about visual separation, the responsibility pilots assume when they agree to maintain visual separation, and methods they can use for avoiding other aircraft. The NTSB preliminary report reveals more on that NYC helicopter crash that killed five passengers. A listener asks about when to switch from ground to tower at a towered airport, another listener asks about simulating an AHRS failure in a Garmin G1000 equipped aircraft, and another listener ask what exactly controllers mean when they say to enter on a 2-mile base.

| 0:00.0 | Hello again, and thank you for joining us for episode 56 of the Aviation News Talk podcast, where we bring you general aviation news and relevant information that pilots can actually go out there and use when they're flying. |
| 0:12.1 | Today, we're going to talk about visual separation. Just what is it? And why are air traffic controllers always telling you to maintain visual separation? And once you agree to that, just what is it you're signing up for? We'll also be sharing listener feedback and answering some |
| 0:25.0 | listener questions. Plus, this week in the news, the NTSB is out with a preliminary report on that |
| 0:30.8 | New York City helicopter crash we discussed last week that resulted in the drowning death of five |
| 0:35.5 | passengers. And we now know more about what |
| 0:38.0 | happened. And two countries have announced that they have relaxed medical requirements for pilots, |
| 0:42.8 | and we'll tell you which ones they are. And finally, this is a bizarre story about a one-legged |
| 0:47.4 | pilot in Virginia who's going to jail in part because of his leg. Welcome to Aviation News Talk, |
| 0:53.1 | where we talk about general aviation. |
| 0:55.2 | I'm Max Rusk, I'm here to educate and inform you as a pilot or student pilot and hopefully |
| 0:59.1 | have some fun in the process. |

| 1:09.0 | and a specialist in Cirrus aircraft like the SR20 and |
| 1:11.7 | SR22 that I'm out there flying almost every day. Now, last week in episode 55, we talked |
| 1:17.7 | about the challenges pilots face when entering a traffic pattern and how to follow a much |
| 1:21.6 | slower aircraft. So if you miss that episode, you may want to check it out. Of course, |
| 1:25.5 | this week we're going to be talking about visual separation. All this and more, and the news starts now. |
| 1:58.3 | From Flying Magazine, a story written by a friend of the show, Rob Mark, the NTSB releases a preliminary report on that Airbus A350 B2 crash that occurred in New York's East River on March 11th. |
| 1:59.8 | Now, we talked about that last week. |
| 2:01.6 | And following the helicopter's impact with the water, the AS350 rolled quickly and inverted. Now, as we told you last week, |
