Propeller Breeze

Propeller Breeze

Propeller Breeze is the show for you—whether you're a student pilot grinding through ground school, a seasoned simmer flying virtual skies, or just someone who’s always looked up when a plane passes by.

We cover everything student pilots and aviation enthusiasts need—from the four forces of flight and training milestones to simulator tips and real-world flying insights. With a laid-back vibe and a passion for aviation, we’re here to inspire, inform, and keep you climbing.

Reciprocating Engines & Propellers

12 September 2025

Reciprocating Engines & Propellers

In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of aircraft reciprocating engines and propellers. From the fundamentals of piston-driven powerplants to the differences between spark-ignition and compression-ignition designs, we break down how these engines turn fuel into thrust. We’ll look at propeller systems — fixed-pitch versus constant-speed — and explain why governors, manifold pressure,...

Angle of Attack (AOA) indicators

Angle of Attack (AOA) indicators

In this episode, we dive into one of aviation’s most important safety tools: Angle of Attack (AOA) indicators. Loss of Control (LOC) remains the leading cause of fatal accidents in both general and commercial aviation, and AOA indicators are being championed as a powerful solution.We’ll explore how these devices give pilots real-time stall margin awareness, why airspeed alone can’t prevent a...

High-Speed Aerodynamics: Flight Controls and Performance

High-Speed Aerodynamics: Flight Controls and Performance

In this episode, we explore the fascinating world of high-speed aerodynamics—where airflow, compressibility, and aircraft control collide at the edge of physics.We’ll start with the basics: how subsonic and supersonic flow differ, why air that’s "incompressible" at low speeds suddenly changes behavior near Mach 1, and how shock waves form even before an aircraft breaks the sound barrier.Next,...

Aircraft Weight and Balance

Aircraft Weight and Balance

In this episode, we break down one of the most overlooked yet critical aspects of aviation: aircraft weight and balance. From structural integrity to stability and controllability, the way an aircraft is loaded has a direct impact on its performance and safety.We’ll cover:Why weight and balance data are dynamic and must be recalculated regularly.The vital role of Center of Gravity (CG) in...

Propeller Principles & Torque

Propeller Principles & Torque

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating mechanics of aircraft propellers and the aerodynamic forces that keep pilots on their toes. You’ll learn how propeller blades act like rotating wings, how blade angle and pitch influence efficiency, and why constant-speed propellers are a game-changer for performance.We’ll also break down the “left turning tendency” — the torque effects that can...

Aircraft Stalls – What Every Pilot Should Know

Aircraft Stalls – What Every Pilot Should Know

In this episode of Propeller Breeze, we break down one of the most misunderstood concepts in aviation: aircraft stalls. What really happens when a wing stalls? Is it true that lift just disappears? Spoiler: not quite.Join us as we explore:What causes a stall and why it's all about exceeding the critical Angle of AttackCommon myths vs. aerodynamic realityHow aircraft are designed to stall...

Aerodynamic Forces: Turns, Climbs, and Descents

Aerodynamic Forces: Turns, Climbs, and Descents

In this episode of Propeller Breeze, we go beyond straight-and-level to explore how aerodynamic forces shape the way aircraft turn, climb, and descend. Ever wonder why you need to bank to make a proper turn—or how changing your angle of attack affects altitude during a maneuver? We break down the essential principles behind:✈️ The mechanics of turning: lift components, centrifugal force, and the...

Ground Effect

Ground Effect

Ever wondered why your aircraft seems to float just above the runway during landing? Or why it might lift off before it’s really ready to fly? In this episode of Propeller Breeze, we break down the fascinating phenomenon of ground effect — what it is, why it happens, and how it affects aircraft performance during takeoff and landing.We’ll cover:The aerodynamic changes near the ground (spoiler:...

The Four Forces of Flight

The Four Forces of Flight

Welcome aboard the debut episode of Propeller Breeze! Today, we’re diving into the cornerstone of all flight training: the four fundamental forces that make flight possible—Thrust, Drag, Lift, and Weight.Whether you're just starting ground school, coming back to the sim, or simply curious about what keeps an airplane airborne, this episode breaks it all down in a clear and engaging way. We...
