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
Situational Awareness and Flight Safety Situational awareness (SA) is a cornerstone of flight safety, yet it’s often one of the first things to erode under stress, fatigue, or distraction. The FAA’s Risk Management Handbook defines
Careers in Aviation Background For many professional airline pilots, the FAA-mandated retirement age of 65 feels premature. These pilots often say they feel sharper, more experienced, and more confident than ever. But regulations are firm,
Mastering SRM for Safer Skies Unlike a crewed cockpit, where tasks and responsibilities are shared, single pilots shoulder every decision, every calculation, and every response. This is where Single-Pilot Resource Management (SRM) becomes a critical
GPS Operations For Part 135 pilots, precise navigation is more than a convenience—it’s a necessity. From managing customer expectations to meeting FAA regulatory requirements, accurate navigation ensures the safety, efficiency, and reliability of operations. At
The Importance of Situational Awareness in Fixed Wing Training Situational awareness (SA) is a vital flight skill, but unlike steep turns or short-field landings, it’s not something you can master in a single lesson. It
Situational Awareness Background Losing situational awareness can be both gradual and dangerous. Here’s the good news: situational awareness can be restored—often quickly—if the pilot or crew recognizes the warning signs and takes decisive action. Whether
Background of TAWS The Terrain Awareness and Warning System (TAWS) was developed in response to the alarming number of Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) accidents, which occur when an airworthy aircraft inadvertently collides with terrain
TCAS Background Pilots are responsible for safely maneuvering aircraft through the skies and avoiding potential collisions. To assist with this crucial task, most have relied on the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) installed in their
Essential Classes of Fire and Portable Extinguishers Training Safety aboard aircraft demands uncompromising attention to detail, planning, and preparation. Among the many responsibilities of pilots and crew, understanding fire safety is paramount. Fire is one
