DeathnotfunI have a new favorite podcast.I spent years in the aviation industry and have never had access to this kind of insight.
-
Gary MillratObjective and thoroughWhat sets this podcast apart from other depictions of air disasters is the objective analysis of the hosts . John, Greg and Todd continue to display the same professionalism in reporting they showed while working various agencies . Their love and respect of air travel comes through loud and clear . I appreciate their alerting listeners to other sites to learn more about reports and events
-
GusntoodAds are not pleasantI’m going to unfollow for a couple of months and see if you stop running ads. They are louder and annoying. Hopefully you’ll sto running them. I enjoy the expert information but not enough to suffer the ads.
-
ThomasM5Great showLove the show guys. I’m not a pilot, but I am a frequent flier and love airplanes. Additionally, I prefer to use the facts in problem solving which I think you guys do a great job of. Keep up the full breakdowns of crashes- loved your step-by-step walkthrough of the Lion Air crash. One suggestion: long periods of talking about the current state of the NTSB, why their reports are bad, why it isn’t what it used to be, etc. is not compelling listening- focus more on what caused the accidents and how they should be prevented.
-
Ted PostBoeing can do no wrongIncredibly disappointing these guys scapegoated the 737 MAX pilots and gave Boeing a free pass for the MCAS debacle. They talk a good game but hard to take them seriously after that.
-
listener954A different take on pilot safetyI never got beyond ground school and a few lessons but I really enjoy how these guys take a multidisciplinary view on specific airplane “incidents.” They use reports, video, their own experiences, etc to shed light on how these accidents both occurred and could have been avoided.
-
K2 AviationNeed To Fact CheckThese guys are entitled to their opinions, but they need to bring a responsible person to fact check what they talk about. The Plan Swap discussion was full of false facts. That said these guys are first class pontificators

Luna LovecraftLove it!My only involvement in aviation is using my prayer arsenal to keep my flights from turning into an episode of Mayday! or Air Disasters. Despite being completely irrational when it comes to flying, I love this podcast. The hosts’ insider knowledge is fascinating. And I don’t know what to say about the complaints about chitchat. The small talk is part of what makes this podcast entertaining.
-
CPTJason01Great start, good programStarted listening a few years back, great podcast to listen to on my 1-2 hour drive to the airport and get me in the write mind for flying. I prefer accident investigation stories versus some of the other directions this podcast takes.
-
Spin737Read You 3 By 3Your great information is clouded by low production quality. Greg’s voice is muddied and the mix is off with Greg half the volume of John. Record your audio locally and combine it in post-production.
-
noahot4meGreat ShowI really enjoy seeing how the sausage is made on these podcast of incidents . They really dive down deep in explaining everything . Gentleman you have a great show and I appreciate it . Always remember those preflights and don’t skimp on the check list . Safe flying
-
LovesthisalotHooked on this podcastEnjoying the show. Right now listening to John, Greg, and Todd, always look forward to new episodes. I like the relaxed format and the occasional ribbing helps get through some of the grim details of aviation accidents. These guys have lots of combined experience and lots of passion for everything aviation. I’m not a pilot nor related to anyone in aviation, just a long time passenger with a curiosity about flight safety and extremely glad this podcast exists.
-
^-uck this appMust listen to podcast if your into aviationAs a major airline pilot always trying to learn this podcast is a must to listen to. Very informative, always swiping the update button booting. New episode came out. Thank you John, Greg!
-
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz7777Getting BoringThis podcast needs to get back to discussions about the nuts and bolts of specific aviation accidents, their causes and the lessons learned. Lately it has become nothing but obscure topics, preaching about airline COVID restrictions and begging for sponsors. That is not why I became a listener. I hope that the hosts can get back to what made this an interesting podcast in the beginning.
-
rav30Deice opsGreat show, but I’m at a 121 carrier. Probably should have a current pilot on you show regularly to go over specific company ops. You can’t just say flight crews are complacent. Our procedures state when to do a wing check. We follow winter ops with checklists to a tee.
-
Kari&DanCar Talk meets Jensen & HolesThese two are the best! As a commercial airline pilot’s wife, Boeing flight line mechanic’s daughter and USAF granddaughter, I have heard my fair share of “plane talk” in my 40+ years. But I’m the one that subscribes and listens to this podcast gem in our house, because it’s just so good. Love you both, keep up the excellent work!
-
Fellow ERAU alumniFantasticI can’t believe it took me nearly a year to find out Greg Feith and John Goglia had a podcast. I had no choice but to go back and binge listen from episode 1. I hope this will last. Amazing stuff.
-
bascal133Awesome Program with Great HostsThis is a great podcast, the hosts are experts and enthusiasts who clearly know they’re stuff. I like that they have a professorial and analytical manner. It’s great to have a haven where facts and evidence are king in world where reality distortion Is weaponized more and more.
-
Gerric27Behind the scenes by professionalsIf you ever wanted to learn more about investigating air disasters, the behind the scenes and the mindset of the teams involved, this podcast is for you. You don’t need to have any knowledge of how an airplane works to understand these two speaking. They speak clearly and in Layman’s terms. All-around a great listen.
-
Danny22quilla100% recommendedGuys it would be nice if you keep us posted about each week episode, don’t let us waiting if you are not going to release an episode! Thanks this is a great podcast! Can’t wait to listen to the next episode! And I’m still waiting for this week episode 😉👌🏼
-
bfhffgVery enlightening Episode 45I have to admit, having been out of the aviation side of things for awhile, I had no idea how uninvolved the NTSB was becoming. Unfortunately, it appears that the NTSB is not alone in its use of what a friend of mine recently termed, the COVID crutch. The world can not stop because of COVID. Safety and security in other realms can not be compromised because of this virus. We must allow trained professionals the leeway to do their jobs in the safe manner in which they’ve been trained and retrained. If our enemies only knew this would be all it would take. Scary. Thanks for a great and enlightening episode gentlemen!
-
QC ScottInteresting showSome of the negative comments here are laughable. Maybe Greg and John hit home with their assessment about the Max and a major contributor to the accidents being pilot and maintenance induced. They didn’t spare Boeing or the airlines, either. If you haven’t had to make crash investigation report that involves saying a deceased pilot was at fault it would seem to me you should just take what they say and learn from it, not dismiss it. It sounds harsh but if that is a contributing factor, it should be reported. That’s how we got SMS and CRM. It’s their job to bring out the dirty laundry so we can learn what not to do. Don’t shoot the messengers.

Papa Bear FamilyGreat ContentThat you for all your research and hard work
-
ArdbewThese guys do not have true operational experienceI’ve tried to find some good podcasts on aviation and I had great hopes for this one. For both these guys although they claim to have impeccable qualifications and experience, they come across totally uninformed from an operational perspective on how airlines operate. I have offered feedback though back channels and emails with no response l. I would not listen to these guys. They are totally uninformed and with marginal experience on COVID-19 or the use of mask policies and actual compliance. Their opinions are similar to Rush Limbaugh and giving you half the story. On many of their accent reviews which I’ve listen to (at least a half a dozen) although they reach sound conclusions in some cases, there are several areas that are strictly opinions and great assumptions on what actually happened rarely based in fact, which provides a nice story line. I rarely write reviews and I tried to hold my tongue on this particular podcast but I’m frustrated when there’s so much inaccuracy that is put out there as fact. Dan Wilborn Airline pilot with over 15,000 flight hours.

Jb5423Love this podcastThe two of you make a great pair, and as an aviation nut I am consuming these episodes as fast as you can make them. There are quite a few podcasts about aviation disasters, but the level of expertise that you guys bring to this puts it on another level completely. Thank you so much for doing this!
-
RozWarrenFascinating and informativeYou don’t need to know anything about aviation to find this show fascinating. Two concerned, super competent (and compassionate) experts examine and explain why planes crashed and people died in concise and clear language that anyone can understand. There are a lot of lessons to be learned from listening to this podcast and it gives me hope that so many pilots are paying attention to it. But check it out, even if you never plan to pilot a plane. Because aviation safety is important to all of us.
-
Foxhound8080InterestingGreat Podcast! I have no ties to aviation. I’m just fascinated by air disasters (I feel morbid for saying that, lol) and solving the mystery of what causes them. I’ve been watching ACI for years, and have always liked both Mr. Feith, and Mr. Goglia. This goes more in-depth than the episodes do. The valujet accident is especially interesting. I’d also like to hear more about American Airlines 1420.
-
Air21LawWhat the heck is going on in AlaskaDo Alaska airlines follow the same FAA regs as they do in the “Lower 48”?
-
Arealuser234GreatA very good podcast
-
Mulder393Great DiscussionsThese guys present straightforward, no nonsense discussions of flight safety issues. It’s clear thinking, intermediate to advanced concepts, and lots of applicable examples. Great stuff!
-
SWAwifeSLCMisinformation on masks episodeThis podcast was recommended to me by a friend who thought I would love it because I come from an aviation family and have been in the industry for 51 years (since the day I was born). The first episode I listen to is August 5 on masks and you start with talking about how no one knows what to do when wearing a mask if the masks drop. You claim that changes in briefings haven’t been changed. I have been on 12 flights (DL & SWA) in the past three months. On every flight I have traveled the flight attendants have told passengers to remove their mask before placing the mask on their face. As the podcast went on you talked about “armchair experts” who have an option about things they know nothing about. How hypocritical of you both. How much have you flown since COVID began? Have you contacted airline inflight departments to ask if there have been changes in the announcements? If you want to talk about mechanical issues as an expert, fine, but my first experience with your podcast is not a great one.
-
SWA CPTGreg and JohnOutstanding! I especially enjoyed the 737 MAX investigation critiques. Other subjects are very infotmative. I’ve learned a lot. Keep it up!
-
cali4back2Excellent, informative, highly interesting!I have to agree if their is one aviation podcast you choose to listen to, this is the one. John and Greg cover topics of all kind, I can’t believe how many I went through at once. My dad and I like to listen than have a post discussion. Greg Feith is one of most intelligent, highly experienced and well spoken experts in the world on aviation safety and with John, another absolutely fascinating expert this collectively is nothing but expertise. I am so glad my dad insisted that I listen, I especially found the COVID episode interesting considering the current state of the world. Excellent work Greg and John!!!
-
Lord John WhorfinIf you only have time for one airplane podcast...As an aviation enthusiast I am so thrilled with this podcast. It’s not very often that seasoned experts take the time to share their experience and insight in layperson terms. Never going for the easy or biased explanation, they just expose the facts and piece by piece reconstruct the story and explain what happened. A top podcast for any aviation enthusiast.
-
PaganceEnjoy ListeningAs a former FAA Air Carrier Airworthiness Safety Inspector, I investigated multiple accidents as the FAA IIC. I always enjoyed working with the NTSB. Listening to your podcast brings back many memories. I hope you are able to continue these podcasts as they are a learning opportunity for the aviation community!
-
Corporate PilotGreat showGreat show guys. As an aviation professional pilot with a major airline, I learn so much from you guys. I look forward to every new episode and really appreciate the depth and detail you guys go into. We’re lucky to be your audience and listeners!
-

-
StewBooneLighten Up Francis!You seem to have all your facts straight when it comes to Boeing and the two MAX crashes, do some deeper research on your facts about Southwest Airlines.
-
dfhdhydggdhffSouthwest bag weightsMost airlines don’t weigh each bag, they count the number of bags, and use a summer or winter standard weights.
-
gray zebraOld-school tin kickersTwo guys who peaked two decades ago but are well read. Feith often finds a unique point to explore- Goglia rarely. They avoid technical flight-control or FBW issues for good reasons.
-
PollymallFacts not flashI am a 737 pilot and trained and experienced aviation safety professional. These guys are the real deal and use facts to draw conclusions. If you want the truth about the 737 max accidents, this is where you will find it. The popular media has it mostly wrong.
-
itsDLFMy New Favorite Podcast!Been a fan of Greg's work over the years. If you're a student of aviation accidents one of the biggest lessons is it's almost NEVER one single thing (MCAS). Instead it's usually a cascade of 6 or 8 smaller issues which conspire to cause the accident. Lion Air is exactly that situation. Should MCAS have been introduced and trained for for differently? Obviously. But this was a totally avoidable accident apart from the defective AOA sensor and MCAS.
-
BottleworksChip on the shoulder?At first it seemed like a really strong podcast. It then turned into the first half of the podcast saying that they will “prove” XYZ, but not really saying anything of substance. It always seemed like there was a whole lot of emotion on their end, at times they spell it out. The latest podcast on the “real” facts was just too much. It simply turned into a show of rhetoric and propaganda. I had to turn it off. They claimed Airbus pilots just press buttons and aren’t real pilots. How ignorant. The NTSB has their own podcast which is shaping into a good one. Try that one.
-
Oday26Boeing defendersIf you think boeing is blameless then I highly recommend this podcast.
-
elliethedogThe latest podcast is a Boeing PR piece.What a disservice these “professionals” have done in the latest podcast. Mark Forkner said he had to use “Jedi mind tricks” to trick regulators into accepting the MAX and MCAS. He was NOT talking about a simulator. United ordered A321’s to replace the 757’s. You guys make it sound like it was due to United shunning the MAX yet this still have hundreds in order. The A321 is because Boeing doesn’t have a plane that fills the 757 mission. If you think a 737 cockpit at high speed is quiet then you have never sat in an actual airplane. The Simulator in no way represents the actual noise levels. Even the sounds you play in this podcast don’t sound accurate and representative of the actual plane. Really really disappointed in this podcast and think it reflects poorly on these guys. Having first hand knowledge myself of some of the false holds purported in this podcast makes me suspicious of the other podcast these guys have made that I didn’t have first hand knowledge. This is a Boeing reputation rehab podcast.

EricSeversookSafety ProfessionalIf you care about air travel and safety this podcast is THE source for facts. Listen!
-
Bison123456789Very High Quality AnalysisThis is a must listen to for anyone interested in aviation safety. It simply doesn’t get better than this. Not flashy headlines or agenda pushing media organizations this is all about the facts. Love it.
-
EP747EPEpisode 4. Thank you.I was unsure at first how much you guys would be able and willing to bottom line the “real” issues that matter in aeronautical safety and operations... until episode 4. Wow. Thank you. Honesty, based on critical thinking and experience - is far more valuable and extremely necessary for our industry today. The media has missed the mark. The NTSB has lost the plot. The formative foundations of political maneuvering (toward unmanned systems and low foreign training standards for profit) is clear. Your team’s experienced voice of investigation and skeptical inquiry is critical to keeping people on track who are obligated to be on track inside our industry (but only when knowledgeable people are watching). “In flying I mean not just pushing buttons...” Truth!! I’ve flown all over the world, worked for foreign airlines, Major US airlines... Your team is squarely in the bullseye on this episode.
