Let's see how this works out for both airlines after a year or two. More of this airline in my next trip report.

Fly Gaggle Airlines! Final approach, runway 28, Block Island State Airport. The extra precautious were probably unnecessary; Warrior 481 lifted off quickly and climbed skyward with plenty of runway remaining. Nonetheless, the forecast showed some promise and we launched as a group for the Little Island of the Gods.

Cherokee Six instrument panel Like my airline job, I fly nearly paperless using an iPad Mini and the ForeFlight app for navigation charts. Although not a problem for airliners, flying at high altitude airports presents challenges for pilots of small piston aircraft. Santa Fe is located 6,349 feet above sea level.

Fate is STILL the hunter Air Facts Journal In 1961, veteran airline captain, Ernest K. This truism was learned one fateful day when I was employed by Skyway Airlines as a 25-year-old Beech 18 captain. Skyway’s Beech 18’s were configured for commuter airline operations with seats in the cabin for nine passengers and a crew of two.

I once flew downwind, base, and final at a constant AOA. To get the extra lift required for the turns, I had to dive to get extra airspeed so that the plane could turn at that same AOA. This meant that I could land normally on the runway, not overshoot, and did not need to be concerned with the airliners on the crossing runway.

As 2024 draws to a close, there can be little doubt that, over the course of the year, airline safety has continued to reach new levels, with fewer accidents, fewer aircraft being written off, and fewer fatalities. Numbers for 2024 are likely to be similar, given what we already know as we approach the end of the year.

A go-around is a maneuver performed to abort or reject a landing on the final approach or once the aircraft has already touched down. A common situation is if an aircraft is on final approach, and another holding on the runway cannot take off in time. Go-arounds have little margin for error. What Is a Go-Around?

Introduction What a way to celebrate my first ever Indian domestic flight experience by flying on the airline's brand new Airbus A350-900. Let's say I didn't have the best first impression of this airline and I believe some of you have read about the negative reviews of the airline in almost all aspects of air travel with this airline.
