In this episode, I talk to Chris Taylor - a military and civilian test pilot about his background and the fascinating world of test flying.

Chris has flown and tested so many types both military and civilian that it was hard not to talk for hours!  From helicopters to biplanes and everything in between, Chris recounts how he started his career in the Royal Navy and how he has gone on to test a wide variety of civilian types.

Chris has also just published a book - "Test Pilot, An Extraordinary Career Testing Civil Aircraft" which is a great read for any aviation enthusiast.  You can find it on Amazon and in lots of other outlets.

Join us on this fascinating podcast where Paul Dickens and I discuss aviation psychology and how it affects our life as pilots.  Paul is a qualified aviation psychologist and really is a subject matter expert.

We chat about pre-employment testing, peer support and how the attitude to mental health and well being has changed in the aviation industry.

It's a fascinating insight into how pilots are selected and the similar traits we all have (some good, some not 😉).

In episode 8 of the Busy Aviation Podcast, I talk to Kathryn Vinclaire of Flight Path Productions about her upcoming film, "Women at 36,000 feet".

Kathryn is a film-maker, professional voiceover artist and also a passionate aviator.  During our chat, we talk about her love of all things flying but also how there are still barriers to women entering aviation.  Kathryn gives us some fascinating insights into why women find it harder to enter the profession gleaned from many of the interviews her company have completed in the run-up to launch.

Film making is not cheap and getting a starter project like this off the ground takes a lot of funding.  If you would like to help, please take a moment to subscribe to Flight Path Production's newsletter here.

It was great fun and really interesting talking to Kathryn (and cat...) and I wish her all the best for the film.  If you are an aviation business looking for a new audience or customer base, podcasting is an awesome way to get your business message out there but also to have fun and entertain at the same time.  If you would like to appear on the Busy Aviation Podcast, please get in contact by visiting our website here.

I hope you enjoy the episode and thanks for listening!
