There are 2 terminals, one for cargo and the other for passengers. There are also lifts taking you to the lower level leading to the bus gates. On the day of departure I called for an Uber ride to the airport early in the morning. I have to say that I enjoyed my time over here. Welcome to Rajiv Gandhi International Airport!

The last 700 feet of the runway aren’t visible until you approach the crest. Aircraft departing runway 22 have a take-off run towards a ravine, with no lights or landmarks ahead, only cargo ships and the horizon of the Pacific Ocean.

Anti-Ice, Rain: flight deck window heat, windshield wipers, probe heat, and anti-ice/de-ice systems that either prevent ice from accumulating on lift generating surfaces and engines, or break the ice off after it’s accumulated. Some part 135 cargo operators use turbine powered airplanes.

I promised to share the story of changing from flying passengers on the Boeing 737 through Europe, to my future pilot job, flying cargo on the Boeing 747 all over the world. In this training I am shooting raw data approaches and dealing with engine failures in the middle of the night, as I have a ‘night slot’ on the simulator.

A standard 150, equipped with a Land-O-Matic gear, 40-degree Para-Lift flaps, two seats, a straight tail, and powered by a 100 hp Continental O-200 engine fit the bill for many, especially those who did not want to deal with the 150s trickier tailwheel predecessors, the Cessna 120 and 140. Everyone has an experience with a 150, said Bakeberg.

Key Takeaways Ailerons control the aircrafts roll by adjusting lift on each wing. The aircrafts wing is able to generate lift due to its shape. The more the wings shape is able to change the direction of the flow of air over the surface, the more lift it will produce. Why does this increase the lift? How Do Ailerons Work?

On that day, there were three commercial flights and a cargo flight flying from Taipei to Singapore and would return to Taipei after a short layover. We lifted off almost effortlessly. At this point, we were on final approach to Taipei Taoyuan Airport. Checking the departure board, my flight was scheduled to depart on time.

Given the nomenclature ‘C-49,’ it’s service with the USAAF included ferrying VIPs, troops, and cargo throughout the United States. The C-47 also had an astrodome positioned in the cabin roof, strengthened floor components, a double cargo door and a shortened tail-cone for glider-towing shackles, all of which the C-49 did not have.

This transition of lifting off is called rotation. The load controller also verifies whether all planned passengers are accounted for and receives the final baggage and cargo weights from the airline staff. The crew gives the final fuel figures to the load controller. The captain checks the loadsheet and signs it.
