How was this list researched, and what was verified?

We checked publisher episode pages, YouTube listings, published show notes and available transcripts. This is a source-based editorial review, not a claim that every recording was watched or listened to in full. Each entry identifies the evidence used; timestamps appear only where they were present in the published material.

Selection favoured four things:

• A real purchasing decision: charter quote comparison, aircraft suitability, operator diligence, programme renewal or management review.
• An identifiable speaker: including their commercial perspective where relevant.
• A practical next action: a document to request, a question to ask or a comparison to prepare.
• An accessible source: a direct video, episode page or publisher page containing the recording.

Dates are publication dates, not necessarily recording dates. Runtime is included only where verified. Public pages were accessible during research, but uninterrupted playback and regional platform access were not independently tested.

Important archive distinction: NBAA states that its Flight Plan podcast ended in 2025. Its older episodes remain available, but should not be presented as an actively publishing 2026 show. NBAA archive. (nbaa.org)
