First, he breaks down the difference between wet and dry leases \u2014 why it's critical to understand operational control, how to avoid illegal charter situations, and what lease paperwork needs to be in place.

Finally, he tackles a deep-dive into manifold pressure gauge requirements, clearing up widespread confusion using ECFR archives and FAA history.
