Be safe. Fly Safe,
Unlike octopuses, we don’t have brains in our limbs. So we can’t really “memorize” anything in our arms and legs. But it’s true that once you learn how to do something physical—whether it be riding a bike or swimming – it becomes easier and easier to do it without thinking. It sure feels like your muscles remembers how to do it. But the reality is that the activity is happening in our brains.
A spin is a yaw aggravated stall which results in rotation about the spin axis. The aircraft follows a steep, “corkscrew” like, downward path. Spins can be entered, either intentionally or unintentionally, from any flight attitude and at practically any airspeed. If a stalled aircraft is subjected to a sufficient yaw rate, it will enter a spin. The yaw can be induced by improper use of the rudder or can be a result of the wing drop characteristics of the aircraft in question. In a spin, both wings are in a stalled condition but one wing will be in a deeper stall than the other. The drag is greater on the more deeply stalled wing causing the aircraft to autorotate (yaw) toward that wing. Spins are characterised by high angle of attack, low airspeed and high rate of descent.
Even after having spent close to half of my lifetime in armed forces, I didn’t know on 26 th January the national flag is unfurled, while on 15 th August it is hoisted till a close friend yesterday enlightened me about this basic fact ! The logic behind this is that on 15th August the flag is tied to the bottom of the pole, it is lifted up to the top and then hoisted.To symbolise the struggle for independence while lifting it up the pole and then celebrating independence by hoisting…
Chair flying is like poetry, it makes us wiser and better by continuing to reveal beauty and truth about flying.
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.
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.
