More to the Story: Flight of Understanding w/ Maclyn Stringers
Episode 106
Monday, 16 March, 2026
In this episode of the More Right Rudder podcast: More to the Story series, host Beth Stanton, NAFI’s director of publications and editor, sits down with flight instructor and author Maclyn Stringers to discuss his Mentor magazine article Flight of Understanding. The conversation explores how Maslow’s hierarchy of needs can reshape the way instructors approach flight training. Instead of focusing only on stick-and-rudder technique, Stringers suggests that great instruction begins with meeting a student’s human needs: safety, belonging, confidence, and purpose. From hydration in the cockpit to building confidence in hesitant students, this episode dives into the psychology behind effective flight instruction and why understanding people may be just as important as understanding aerodynamics.
