We've just released a new episode of The Student Pilot Podcast, and this one is all about something all pilots should take seriously from day one: the captain's briefing.

Whether you're a student pilot, private pilot or instructor, a good briefing can make a huge difference to safety, decision-making, workload management, and overall confidence in the cockpit.

We discuss why Captain's Briefings matter, what they should include, how they help passengers and crew understand the plan, and why developing this habit early in your flying journey can make you a safer and more professional pilot.

🎧 Plus: Don't forget to join in our new feature "Aviation Fact Or Fiction".

INSTRUCTOR SPOTLIGHT ✈️

This week's instructor spotlight is on Cain Goodhand! Cain has been teaching with us since June 2025, but he's been involved with Almat much longer.

Cain has always known he wanted to be a pilot, and took his first ever trial flight with us back in October 2018. He then went on to complete his PPL with us, and passed his skills test during covid, before going off to complete his CPL, ATPL and IR out in Portugal!

After his time abroad, Cain came back home to Almat at Coventry, to continue to hours build. He took on a part-sponsored FI course, and has been on the team ever since!

Cain is an integral part of the team, and we're incredibly thankful to have his expertise, enthusiasm, and passion for flying guiding our students every day.

Thank you for everything you do Cain! ✈️
