The FAA moves closer to integrating drones into aviation airspace The drones are coming. The FAA’s Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration Pilot Program (IPP) is a wrap. The 3 year initiative was designed to test and
When experiencing a dual engine failure in flight, pilot training and communication helped these pilots stay calm In my 30 years of flying professionally, I’ve lived through a handful of engine failures, but only one
I made the unfortunate mistake of landing on a closed runway in the middle of the night many years ago and it still haunts me to this day. Yes, I checked my flight plan and
Aircraft performance with a hydrogen engine may be coming to a small aircraft near you On September 24, 2020, ZeroAvia flew the first commercially viable aircraft powered by their new hydrogen propulsion system and the
Aircraft performance is getting a little closer to getting a little closer Who hasn’t looked up in wonder at the V-shaped pattern of geese when they’re migrating? Even non-aviation people may glance skyward in amazement
It’s hard to maintain CFIT avoidance with TAWS disabled What’s the expression they say when you do something foolish and you don’t know it until someone points it out to you? “Egg on your face,”
Aviation weather will be easier to navigate thanks to a new radar system Not much bothers me after 40 years in aviation. I’ve seen the engine failures, the maintenance issues, the diversions. But I have
Crew resource management is just as important now as before the pandemic hit as more Captains may find themselves in the right seat As the aviation industry struggles to recover from the devastating effects of
Pilot training can’t protect against everything, but Airbus Helicopter is trying to change that Every time I see a solid black line through the EMS wings on social media, my heart skips a beat. It
Autonomous aircraft will change the course of pilot training…eventually I was watching 60 Minutes the other day and one of the segments was on driverless trucks. I’m not going to lie…it terrified me. Watching the
