Be safe.
Every flight is different and each flight presents a learning opportunity. If you find yourself forgetting or not verifying something, consider adding that to your flow to prevent the mistake from happening again. Someday, we all will be a proverbial perfect pilot.
Through this post I wish to highlight not only the importance of mental health but stark difference between PTSD and Emotional Distress. Distress could be caused by anything non-normal either at work or home. Emotional distress conditions require immediate attention of flight crew, operators and regulators for the simple reason that these situations are more common and their effects are equally overwhelming though for short period of time.
Indian Air Force is celebrating 91st anniversary on 08 Oct 2023 with a commemorative parade and airshow at Prayagraj city. It will also be last time that MiG 21 will participate in an air show or a parade.
The term Fixed Base Operator (FBO) is given to a commercial enterprise that has been granted the right by an airport authority to operate on that airport and provide aviation services, such as fuel, parking and hangar space, to the General Aviation (GA) community. At a smaller airports, or ones located near a remote or small community, it is often the town or the airport authority which provides basic FBO services such as provision of fuel and parking. However, at larger airports serving major cities, there are often several privately owned Fixed Base Operators in competition for the business of both permanently based and transient general aviation aircraft.
Flight cancellations are low probability events, and are inherently difficult to predict. However, when flight cancellations do occur, the impact is substantial.
Universally, a flight is considered to be delayed when it is 15 minutes later than its scheduled time. A cancellation occurs when the airline does not operate the flight at all for a certain reason.
Success of training is determined by a combination of mechanisms that influence how people process information, focus their attention, direct their efforts, and manage their affect during learning. Individual differences between trainees will always exist, focusing on how to increase motivation and promote learning orientation across trainees can provide a way to enhance learning, despite other individual differences. This is where flight Instructor steps in and plays the most vital role in the life of every trainee pilot.
In this blog-post I am hoping to convey what you can expect if you have ambitions to become a Flight Instructor. Becoming a teacher and a mentor is not right for everyone, and I would only encourage you to venture down this path if you believe that you have a passion for teaching and sharing your knowledge with others.
As the global airline industry prepares to head to Doha for the annual IATA AGM on 19-21 June, there is plenty to be positive about – alongside continuing reasons for caution regarding the outlook.
Aerobatic flight means manoeuvres intentionally performed by the pilot that involve
(a) bank angles in excess of 60 degrees; or
(b) pitch angles in excess of 45 degrees, or otherwise abnormal to the aircraft type; or
(c) abrupt changes of direction angles of bank, angles of pitch, or speed.
