Episode 059: Fifty-year pilot John O. Graybill on flying private safely - a podcast by Runway Girl Network

First, while the business aviation market has grappled with a softening for the last several years, business aircraft charters are on the rise, especially with younger travelers. Given John’s background and new book, he tells co-hosts Max Flight and Mary Kirby about the safety considerations for booking private aircraft, the type of pilot behaviors that could lead to a crash, and why he warns about propeller aircraft.

Next, in the commercial airline space there is a well-reported debate over pilot shortages, but in business aviation, it is a reality. John shares his thoughts on how the business aviation sector can retain the best pilots.

Last but not least, the FAA recently confirmed it has no intention of setting baseline aircraft seat space standards for commercial flying. The agency told consumer advocacy group Flyers Right that it doesn’t see an imminent safety concern, and will not initiate rulemaking. John, Max and Mary discuss the latest developments, and consider whether government should regulate seat size on airlines.
