Secure Flight

Manuel that came with the aircraft it is very important to get to know your aircraft before the first flight. After you have done these three steps you are ready for your first flying experience. But first you need to find a good safe place for at leas the first flight. What Is The Best Place For The First Flight? It only makes sense that you find a wide open place for your first test flight. A places free from trees, people, buildings, ext. And rather you are a beginner or professional quad-flyer

Alexander Weygers, a man born two years before Orville and Wilbur Wright took to the air, always had a fascination with flight. “My belief was that man had copied the bird under the erroneous impression that the most obvious way to fly is to copy the bird’s flight,” he said. “To me, it was as impractical to make a plane like a bird as it would be to make an automobile look like a horse or a motorcycle like a man.” Weygers first got the idea for his flying machine in 1927 when he was working as

I've been in love with flight since January 3rd of 2014, when I flew with Mach 1's instructor Laura McGhee. That day, I witnessed the beauty of flight in a small plane for the first time. To this day, I still remember the excitement I felt when I sat in the Cessna Skyhawk 172 and the indescribable feeling during takeoff. That was the day I discovered that I want to fly. The freedom in its purest form, the joy that swells within, my personal experience and knowledge I gained in ground school, and

greater than what was once feasible centuries ago. Granted, it is true that attempts were made during the early 20th century on the creation of VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft by Juan de La Cierva of Spain, with a successful recorded flight in 1923. De La Cierva’s VTOL aircraft was known as “Gyroplane.” (Scientists and Friends) However, it was not until the Second World War, did VTOL aircraft finally appear into its modern-day incarnation. The Third German Reich was credited with the

`I am walking into my chamber, I sit down on my chair beside the co-pilot and say over the intercom “Hi this is your captain speaking, we are about to take off so please put your seatbelts on.” I push all sorts of weird buttons and turn on the engine. “What a nice day to fly a plane,” says the co-pilot “I wonder what it would feel like to fly like a bird.” The plane starts accelerating and just 3 minutes after take off the plane sucks in several geese in both engines. Then I say over the intercom

American pilot Steve Fossett took the record for the longest non-stop flight ever. He flew just 13 miles shy of 25,000 miles during his flight, which lasted about 76 hours. Fossett will now have to hand this record off to a Swiss pilot by the name of Andre Borschberg Borschberg is the pilot of a plane called Solar Impulse. It is record setting itself in that it is a solar-powered plane that achieved this record. It is still in flight so by the time it finishes

A rough takeoff with crosswinds blowing us side to side and lightening bolts striking down right next to us. Turbulence that would throw you out of your seat if your seat belt was not fastened. This was my first non accompanied flight after my mom started working for PSA. Day trips like this have influenced my development greatly, the day trips to Myrtle Beach or Jacksonville for a round of golf. Or the weekend vacation to New Orleans and Destin, and Daytona Beach are all stories within themselves

the airplane so that thinner, lighter wings will be able to change shape during flight to limit drag, and instead of using heavy jet motors, these new planes will contain many smaller, lighter electric motors. Because of their lighter weight, these more efficient airplanes of the future will use less fuel. Although we do not have the battery technology to be able to hold enough energy to make it through an entire flight and make planes all electric, hybrid electric planes could be a reality with these

Greg/Scott, Over the past couple of years, I have been enquiring Boeing for Electronic Checklist (ECL) training for the 777 and 787 Fleet Specialists. The response from Boeing back in 2015 was ECL support was moving from Seattle to Long Beach, CA where a new training program would be established. I was also informed through my Boeing ECL contact that the American Airlines B787 entitlement for the ECL Authoring Course had already been used for a previous class which I don't believe to be true. This

Chapter Thirty 6:14 am Saturday morning: Salt Lake City Airport... A knee-jerk reaction caused Luke to knock his thermos over as he sprung to his feet. “He's moving people. Subject is moving!” The team was caught off guard, but not unaware, and scrambled about to fold up their cots and put them inside the hanger. Walter, Page, and Eugene, who moved in rhythmic lockstep were already in the plane with their doors shut, as Luke and the others dashed across the tarmac like kids that did not look
