skills into that field. Specifically a engine mechanic and come in many varieties. A jet engine mechanic is the field that most money is made. It largely interests me because I am very fond of mechanical engineering. I also have a huge interest in flight. I attend air shows often and always wonder about the abilities and the technology of some of the aircrafts. Typically the larger planes and engines you work on the more money there is to be made in that field. Specializing into a specific field

on runways and taxiways. They check flight plans, give pilots clearance for takeoff or landing, and direct the movement of traffic at an airport including aircraft. Next is the approach and departure controllers who make sure aircraft traveling within an airport's airspace maintain minimum separation for safety. They give clearances to enter controlled airspace and hand off control of aircraft to en route controllers. They use radar equipment to monitor flight paths and work in buildings known as

Ever since I was old enough to dream, I have imagined myself soaring with the eagles. My love of flying has sculpted the way I live and the person I have become. Two years ago that passion rocketed to new heights when I had the opportunity to visit Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Arizona. For a whole week I lived in a college dorm, roomed with a total stranger, and - best of all - I flew! My group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation to flying in state-of-the-art

In 2005 I decided to call it quits. I retired from the military to only find myself back in the same shop I was leading rebuilding TF39 engines as a contractor. I did this for two years until I decided to pick up the family and move to Oklahoma City to work on the B-1 F101-GE engine at Tinker AFB. Soon after, the contract died and I had to find a new job. I got picked up as a civil service employee in the same shop. I then got promoted into the F117 Heavy Maintenance Center rebuilding engines

day I had my first successful flights with my Nieuport 17 biplane, a World War I plane that took me nearly three weeks to complete. After landing the plane, I began to talk to the other pilots and learned the meaning behind the often repeated phrase "fly, crash, repeat." I built more planes and several months later started a new project, a small drone that could be flown for short distances using a camera. Its four powerful blades flew very well during the maiden flight until I had to repeat the phrase

The first time I flew was to the United States. I was 18 years old and had no expectation. While we flew for almost 22 hours there was turbulence. it was a horrifying flight and especially scary. i travelled with a girl that I met at the airport that was going to the same house and job with me. We were from completely different backgrounds and didn’t talk for the 28 hours in total traveling time. Going through customs is horrifying after being on a plane for that long, and also at that time on Johannesburg

Old station flying club has been hosting a legendary events from many years in Australia history. It Old Station Fly In show is one of the very popular air shows held around the country and is the display and portrayal of country Australia hospitality at its best. Fly In air show involves a number of attractions over the weekend when it Is held. It used to be just a normal fly in show, but these days it also involves heritage and antique trucks and machinery show along with it. There is another feature

Human factors issues in flight simulation have been identified to include motion sickness, motion cueing, and adapting fidelity issues related to flying the simulator versus the actual aircraft. Also there is the issue with older legacy simulators that are still in use and their limitations. It is an accepted fact that aircraft simulator design is a balance between technology, design limitations, cost and operational effectiveness and safe to assume that due to these limitations, the simulator

The first flight to be reviewed is United Airlines flight 173, that left from JFK Airport, N.Y. on December 28th, 1978. Its destination was Portland, Oregon, but had one stop in Denver, Colorado along the route. The aircraft type was a DC-8 and that day had onboard one hundred and eighty-nine passengers, 6 infants and eight crewmembers. The start of the flight was without incident, and it was documented that the fuel required to get to Portland was 31,900 lbs., on departing out of Denver they had
