Aviation TV Show debut January 5th

[Ugly Jet Capt]

I am am co-hosting an aviation themed HD TV show called The Flightline. We premier this Saturday on Discovery's Velocity Channel.

Clearly I hope you watch, but I am more importantly looking for feedback and ideas for the show. We are not a pilot show but I think it is critical that we remain legit in the eyes of this core group. We will feature several corporate aircraft on the show and I would like some feedback on how we are portraying them. If you have feedback or ideas let me know at [email protected]

To find Velocity on your TV you can go to our website and use a channel finder in the lower right corner. www.flightline.tv

I am posting this in several Flightinfo sub forums to get a cross section of feedback and ideas. Thanks in advance and I hope you enjoy the show.

Thanks for the support guys. Let me know what you think of the PC-12NG piece in episode 1 and if it passes the smell test. It is intended for both the non-pilot and the pilot and I want the features to be on target and appropriate for both audiences.

Ditto. Looking forward to it.

Any thoughts on the PC-12NG piece? I want to make sure it came off in the right direction. Hard to tell as I watched in about 20 times in post work and that jades your eye a bit.

That Apex panel is ridiculous. Id love to know what kind of draw they have on the batteries. Overall I thought the episode was pretty good. Congrats btw-

yep, good show, great look. Just work on the dialogue a little so it doesn't sound like you guys are reading off a script so much.

We did some talking about the load shedding the PC-12NG does but I didn't get into the level of battery and emergency power situations on this flight. Good question though as with one gen it has to be a factor to be considered.

I think you were referring to the stand up talking parts in between. The first stand ups were a little stiff (we have been off the air for a while) so I will work on that. It is tough as we try to be a little gitchy without looking like a couple of dorks. Noted and working on it though.
