Tips for Pilot Emergency Preparedness. A 2015 study tested pilots in a Boeing 747 simulator on the pilots’ emergency preparedness. The case study revealed that “all eighteen pilots performed impeccably, providing the correct response for
“Put yourself in the customer’s shoes but never lose your authority,” says one aviation industry insider on difficult passengers. As flight crewmembers, you have to be prepared for all types of scenarios when dealing with
Brushing up on SID and STAR ATC Communications On February 21, 2018, the NBAA posted an article asking operators to pay more attention to SID procedures, particularly those at Teterboro (TEB) and Henderson Executive (HND)
Hot, Hot, Hot Refueling As many pilots know, refueling the aircraft while the engines are still running, also known as “hot refueling,” can potentially be a high-risk situation without properly trained personnel. Although hot refueling
Cool temperatures, Uncool hazards As temperatures across the U.S. seem to be dropping, it only seems appropriate to write about Arctic Flying (since most of the U.S. feels like the Arctic currently). With this particularly
Back to the Basics with the FAA The FAA has issued a series on going “Back to Basics” of aviation. One of the articles in the series features How to Talk like a Pilot. In
