I’ve been searching for a podcast that breaks down complex aviation topics in a way that’s both engaging and easy to understand, and FAA Decoded absolutely delivers! As someone preparing for my private pilot license, I found the episodes on airspace regulations, aeromedical factors, and helicopter flight controls incredibly helpful. The hosts do an amazing job explaining everything from FAA rules to the nuances of night flying and new helicopter tech like the Airbus H140. I especially loved the episode on the DCA midair collision — the detailed breakdown of the NTSB report was fascinating and a real eye-opener on flight safety.
Each episode is well-structured, packed with practical insights, and keeps you hooked with real-world examples. The 15- to 30-minute format is perfect for my commute, and I always feel like I’ve learned something valuable by the end. I haven’t found anything to dislike — this podcast is a gem for anyone interested in aviation, whether you’re a student pilot, a seasoned aviator, or just a curious listener. 5 stars all the way — can’t wait for more episodes!

A Must-Listen for Aviation Enthusiasts and Pilots!
