  • From Wheelchair to CFI: Luis Abascal's Aviation Journey

    From Wheelchair to CFI: Luis Abascal's Aviation Journey
    May 1 2026

    In this episode of the Malibu Guru Podcast, Joe sits down with Luis Abascal to talk about one of the most powerful stories we’ve heard—overcoming a life-threatening neurological condition to become a PA-46 pilot and instructor.

    We dive into:
    • His journey from a wheelchair to earning his CFI
    • Flying and operating a PA-46 in South Texas and Mexico
    •What it’s really like flying internationally in your own airplane
    •And why local knowledge can save you thousands (and a lot of headaches)

    We also tackle a hot topic: the rising cost of Lycoming engines and top overhauls—and what it means for piston vs. turbine ownership today—with our DOM, Kenneth Hale.

    If you’ve ever thought about flying internationally, becoming a pilot later in life, or owning a PA-46—this episode is packed with insight.

It's a great short form podcast that discusses a variety of themes common across aviation as well as some insights into the nuances of flying and maintaining Malibu & M series aircraft. Not gimmicky or a giant sales pitch, so well worth a listen.

great aviation podcast, even if you don't fly a Malibu
