Be safe. Fly Safe,
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.
The United Nations has historically accepted the Kármán line as the boundary of space. And while the U.S. government has been reticent to agree to a specific height, people who fly above an altitude of 60 miles (100 km) typically earn astronaut wings from the Federal Aviation Administration. Even the Ansari X-prize chose the Kármán line as the benchmark height required to win its $10 million prize, which was claimed when Burt Rutan’s SpaceShipOne became the first privately-built spacecraft to carry a crew back in 2004.
With the increase in air traffic at the major airports in the country, the capacity of many airports has been constrained. Therefore to ensure most efficient use use of airport infrastructure and in order to maximise the benefits to the greatest number of airport users, the Airport Authority of India (AAI) has a policy for allocation of constrained or limited airport capacity to airlines and other aircraft operators, through a transparent and equitable mechanism so as to ensure viable airport and air transport operations.
We know that climate change is happening – but there are plenty of things individuals can do to help mitigate it. Here are some handy guide to the most effective strategies that an individual can take to save the planet.
In October 1947 Chuck Yeager took the rocket-powered Bell X-1 through the sound barrier. After that humans have not looked back and any new fighter aircraft is naturally assumed to be able to sustanin supersonic speeds. However to date only two supersonic transport aircraft Concorde and Tupolev-144 have seen regular service. The last passenger flight of the Tu-144 was in June 1978 and it was last flown in 1999 by NASA. Concorde’s last commercial flight was in October 2003, with a November 26, 2003 ferry flight being its last airborne operation. Following the permanent cessation of flying by Concorde, there are no remaining SSTs in commercial service.
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.
In aviation, as flight crew we have to make Go- No Go decision from mountain of information available to us. The goal is to use briefing process to discuss the situation with crew and avoid making a mistake.
Wall Street Journal citing US officials investigating the Eastern China B737-800 crash in March 22 suggests that someone in cockpit gave control inputs which sent the plane into steep dive crashing at remote hill and killing everyone on board. If confirmed by NTSB this would be the third major disaster attributed to pilot suicide- murder. This includes German Wings flight in 2015 that was flown into French hills by co-pilot and Mozambique Airlines flight in Nov 2013. Reoccurrence of such incidents has highlighted the worry of air travellers for the safety. Should they be worried or scared to step into the aircraft for their future travel.
We all are exploring our identity be it the past, present or future. There is an untapped and intriguing story embedded in all of us. We all lean on the past for our existence today and look forward to a future.
