Mastering Autorotation in Flight Training Autorotation is a cornerstone of helicopter safety flight training—an emergency descent technique that every student must master. When engine power is lost, autorotation allows the helicopter to safely descend and
Traditional Navigation Still Matters in Flight Training In modern airplanes, it’s easy to get swept up by sleek touchscreen panels, real-time weather overlays, and the reassuring magenta line guiding every turn. While GPS and integrated
Flight Training to See and Be Seen Mid-air collisions are among the most tragic and avoidable accidents in aviation. Despite technological advances, recent events—including the Potomac River mid-air collision between a regional airline and a
Class E Airspace Navigating Class E airspace can be a routine part of flying and it’s essential to prioritize both safety and efficiency. Class E airspace comes with certain rules and unique challenges, requiring you
Building a Safety Culture in Part 135 In the world of Part 135 charter flying, safety isn’t just about procedures; it’s about people. While the FAA establishes the regulatory framework, it’s up to each operator
Flight Training and Ground Reference Maneuvers to Master Wind Primary flight training is more than just learning to control an airplane—it’s about learning to think like a pilot. One of the most overlooked but absolutely
ATOMATOFLAMES In aviation, safety and compliance are controlling. For pilots, understanding aviation acronyms is crucial for ensuring that every flight meets the necessary requirements. One of the essential acronyms that pilots should familiarize themselves with
Understanding Winds Aloft When you’re a Part 135 pilot, planning and efficiency are the name of the game. One critical factor that can make or break a smooth flight is the winds aloft. These high-altitude
Navigating Contact Approaches Contact approaches are an often under-discussed but vital part of aviation procedures, offering convenience and flexibility when conditions allow. Understanding when and how to execute a contact approach can streamline arrivals while
Land and Hold Short Operations Background Land and Hold Short Operations (LAHSO) are ATC procedures designed to create a safe way to increase airport capacity. The savings in time and fuel add up when controllers
