I'm a US Air Force Instructor Pilot who is committed to sharing my experiences flying the T-6A Texan II and T-38C Talon and producing educational videos specifically targeted towards undergraduate pilot trainees. My videos primarily focus on topics that I wish I learned through my time in pilot training. I love everything to do with flying and aviation, so this channel is a natural extension of that passion.
Transformative AI Solutions for USAF Administrative Tasks
I have developed a configurable AI platform that can be trained on a set of publications. Once configured, my AI platform can reliably, consistently, and accurately answer questions while providing guidance based on those publications.
In this video, you'll see two iterations of my AI platform in action: one trained to assist an executive officer with administrative tasks and another trained to aid a T-6 Instructor in pilot training administration.
The Challenge:
A significant issue within the USAF flying community is the overwhelming number of additional duties piled on top of their primary responsibility of flying aircraft. These duties often require extensive time spent deciphering thousands of rules and regulations. This burden is a key factor contributing to our rated aviator retention issue.
The Solution:
My AI platform addresses this problem by offering accurate answers and precise references to source documents. This platform is a critical force multiplier enabling hours of work to be completed in a matter of seconds. This proof-of-concept video showcases my AI's capabilities, currently hosted on a local server and ready for deployment on a live server.
Partnership Opportunities:
I am eager to work with with AFWERX, SparkCell branches, or any interested parties to further develop this project.
Legal:
I have consulted with my local JAG office, the USAF IP office, and the Secretary of the Air Force's Deputy Director of Intellectual Property Law to ensure compliance and proper use of documents. I am currently limited to working with openly available publications on the USAF ePublishing website (www.e-publishing.af.mil/), unless working directly with a USAF entity under an official use agreement.

I'm not even a pilot or smth near that thing. But your videos make me pull my thoughts together and think more clear when i'm "lost". Thank tou, sir.
in simulator i fly in bad weather on glide slope like every meter below can be ground lol, when haven't synthetic or vor or something that can show me where am i instead of the digital map, then when i found where the runway i keep it in my mind and turn around lol... any pattern will not works with me. i just need know where the runway, and when i do, i fly like there good viz around. if after i go to land and don't see runway where i thought, i turn around and do everything again hahaha. for me best thing is gps with set glide slop line, then when know altitude, from 10 times i can land lol... synthetic no bad too, but not so good, because in monitor i see shit in this, and i need more fov for feel aircraft, but with gps when i have vector it's not so bad. and i can not say i love or hate blind landing:) any way in simulator it's fun all the time. and i really glad i don't fly in real, i'd kill my self million times:) p.s. and your video remind me the movie die hard lol... if they'd use slight glide slope they wouldn't crash. there not any obstacles i guess, so they could go at any angle they want, but they go by certain pattern, so after bad guys change toch point, aircraft crash, because have no time to get up.
i'm simulator flyer, so i'd love to know more details, that's rarely opened for people exclude secrets of course. more visual information like extreme flight like inverted spin , flat spin, inverted flat spin, falling leaf by longitude or and by latitude, knife-spin if that even exist in military birds, how some birds take tail slide, buffeting on overspeed and high aoa. more cabins details, max close to pilot eyes pov video. side wind landing, tad behavior on high aoa torque roll, something dangerous for newbie, but usual for experience pilots. some info about prohibition stuff. i'd say more theoretical things but in practical implementation. any details, that can be wrongly think as not important/interesting. thank you.
I am a fan and use DVIDs A lot
This is super cool
thank you very much CB, great informative video as always. keep it up !
I’m curious where that approach video is from? It reminded me of Thule a bit.
I'm actually not exactly sure. Have you flown to Thule yourself?
How does this not have more viewa
Haha right? I'm really proud of the reach i've gotten thus far, all about perspective!
I've only done a PPL checkride so far, but so many of these tips ring true for that as well, I'll definitely be using this for my IFR ride and hopefully some UPT rides down the line since I'd like to make it into the Guard. Thank you for the video and the tips, this video was reassuring and helpful.
Rooting for you brother! Let me know how things turn out for you!
@@CourtyBoi Thanks man, it means a lot
Hey there. I want to go to the Air Force Academy in my future but have been mostly focusing on rotary wing aviation. But an alternative would be an IP, but I dont exactly know much about that. How does IP selection work? Is there a way to “guarantee” (or something like that anyways) a spot as an IP. If not, I will just stick to rotary wing. Thanks in advance.
There's no way to guarantee anything unfortunately. The unfortunate truth is that everything is all about "needs of the Air Force". You can be an IP in any aircraft btw, the T-6/38 are the only aircraft that your first assignment can be an instructor assignment

Glad you enjoyed
08-11. Can attest that this information is timeless. 2800 hours in the C-17 and 1500 hours as a UPT & PIT IP in the Texan II -- @CB's Flight School is sage wisdom. BL: take command of your sortie, know what is required vs desired, if you don't know--look it up.
Teach us everything you know!!🙏
I'm trying my best brother!
Keep making more videos like this!!! I am going to SUPT-FC with civil air patrol and This is helping a lot!!!
Love to hear that dude. Keep up the great work
Good content, this video and your service is most appreciated. My son FAIP'd T-38s @ XL, '17-'20, now a Viper pilot in the 14th. Long, incredible journey. I couldn't be more humbled and proud of you kids. Connected to your every word. Bullseye. Keep at it.
One of these days I'm going to find a technical based video without the miserable, unneeded, distracting musical background. Why add it ? It seems in vogue to follow the crowd and try to combine narration and music. I sat through many classes in my working career, not once, never was a noise generating device allowed by a teacher or instructor in the class room. I applaud your efforts concerning turn radius computations or to establish some rule of thumb. I am trying to determine the turn radius of the WWII B-17 Bomber. I read of one B-17 navigator (using only a E6-B and perhaps a Mercator or Lambert conformal chart) informing the pilot.." navigator to pilot: recommend you hold this course for 6 min. and 20 seconds before your turn to the I.P.--navigator to bombardier: at target you can expect a six degree wind drift for bombs" . All this using equipment that by todays standards would be considered primitive indeed. Those guys had to have some rule or method to calculate the turn radius to line up for the bomb run over target.
Sorry to hear that you didnt like the video. This was unfortunately my best attempt at creating a "technical based video" 😭
What camera did you use to record yourself flying?
I didnt record any of the footage actually. I just pull videos i like off of youtube and www.dvidshub.net/search/?q=T-6A&filter%5Btype%5D=video&view=grid
Great explanation. Very well delivered. Makes me want to get out and fly again.
Glad to hear it!
I stumbled upon your video series. Great work. I have one question: have other watchers commented or complained about the on/off beeping tones in the background. As a career pilot, it grinds on me like I'm ignoring a CAS (warning) on my PFD. Thanks for the tools.
unfortunately I lost the original recording of this video so this is the best it's going to be. Not sure why that happened
Thank you.
Nice video, but you should ditch the annoying music. It's very distracting.
Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to improve on that.

69-05. I remember it like it was yesterday on my T-37 Instrument check ride. I was directed to intercept a radial off a VOR and fly to the station. When I passed the station, the instructor told me to remove my hood and name the town below. Of course, it was not the town where my target VOR was located. What happened? There were VOR's at two different towns not too far apart. The last digit of the VOR channel numbers were different by a factor of one. My mistake? I didn't use the Tune and Identify by Morse Code procedure, and assumed I had dialed in the correct channel. This was back in the days prior to digital and glass cockpits. Failed that check ride, but passed all the rest of them to graduate. Lesson learned.
I have my students listen to the Morse code even though our Garmin avionics identifies the VOR for them. We can never stray away from the basics!
Haha, fly long enough and we all have stories like that 😂
What happens when you cross the international date line?🤣
Not sure dawg
Great presentation. Thanks
Very nice presentation. With respect to 5:50 "Europeans care about the outbound leg [timing]", I believe we Europeans too are mostly concerned with the inbound timing, just like you, only we seem to have trouble, or, are reluctant to state it in plain English in the standard publications.
No kidding? Good to know!

Good work man! Hopefully you release some videos when you can! This is helping me a lot in UPT
Hey man, where are you now? I'm going to do my best to trickle some videos out in my free time
Thanks
de nada
Great video thank you! Also...as a captain spend $40 to get a clip on mic lol.
😂 While that is true, I wanted to test out the concept first before committing to it
You should be honored the Air Force saw all the qualities in you that they wanted you teaching it's future pilots. That said....please tell us they're eventually going to do you a solid and give you a fighter assignment while you're young enough to enjoy it?
No fighter assignment. I'm flying in the B-1B now!
I just took it today and the cost was around $230.
No way? For your mil-comp exam?
Nice - worth a watch for the excellent visuals alone, but some really good advice. My UPT was 30 yrs ago, but some fundamentals never change.
bro this video helped me truly understand turn radius calculations thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome! Glad it helped
Great videos! I'm heading to OTS in August then UPT after. Any advice on learning comms better, it's my biggest struggle (communicating with tower while in flying. Thanks!
Hey man, still in UPT? I'd recomend just chairflying what you expect tower to say and to listen to traffic on the internet
Unless I missed it I'm a little confused as to why you didn't mention that you do not strictly _have to_ decend to and circle at the MDA *_if the ceiling allows._* For example, if your circling MDA is 600ft and the ceiling is 2000ft, you can circle at a typical pattern altitude of 1000ft. Many instructors will advocate for this since we are much more familiar with flying standard patterns (and altitudes) and rarely practice circling approaches, and also we can mitigate some of the inherent risk of being so low. Please don't take this as me trying to call you out or something like that. It's totally the opposite. I try to learn from any source I can. So I'm curious if you have a reason for sticking to the MDA that I'm not aware of and would be worth our consideration, or if maybe it was just a simple oversight leaving out being allowed to circle higher if ceilings permit it. Edit: formatting.
Na man, you're exactly right. In retrospect, when I drafted the script for this video I was so focused on discussing the procedural execution that I overlooked the practical execution like you pointed out. I don't think the oversight requires a reupload, but I'll definitely pin this comment. I appreciate the feedback!
@@CourtyBoi Nah, definitely not worth a reupload. This is still probably the most concise and easily digestible explanation of circling approaches I've seen. I can see why you do what you do. I'm a terrible teacher and the older I get the more I respect and even envy those who are so skilled with it.
Thank you. Circling approaches have always been kinda tricky for me because of close proximity to ground and obstacles
Awesome video, just got to UPT.
I was going to ask why your showing footage of the most badass bomber that's ever flown in history... then I realized I answered my own question... Awesome tips!
