About AeroCasts

AeroTube is produced by Olivier Rouchard (orouchard on Twitter ). A new episode will be released regularly featuring tips and tricks aircraft pilots. The screencasts are short and focus on one technique so you can quickly move on to applying it to your daily flights. The topics target student pilots, private pilots, instrument pilots and student commercial pilots. Some topics touch air rules and even experienced commercial pilots will get something out of it.

HELP WANTED: Instructors, correctors and moderators

AeroTube needs instructors, correctors and moderators. No-one is perfect and it starts with me. Some advanced topic need the exact information either for flight parameters or mathematical formulas. The aeronautic knowledge base is so large that it is impossible know everything; even source material such as pilot manuals from very recognized publishers diverge in some areas or even give wrong information.

• Instructors: AeroTube must release correct information, thus double or triple check of the episodes is necessary. Not only that, but there are so many  flying technics, methods and concepts that I am not aware of. So, if you are an instructor or an experienced pilot and would like to take part to AeroTube publishing material, you are most welcome!
• Correctors: We focus on being accurate and safe pilots to others and for us. We need people to correct our clumsiness with Mister William Shakespeare's language. It just a matter of respect for the audience and mean for elegance.
• Moderators: AeroTube's audience doesn't diserve comments out of topics. No profound skills required, just commun sense.
• Computer geeks: Web experts, graphic people, video compression experts...
