Fear of Landing

MAY 24, 2024

The report shows that the real risk is for the cabin crew. The pilots enter a four-digit code into the transponder, which might be assigned by air traffic control to identify that particular aircraft or might be a general code showing what type of flight it is. Anyway, the seat belt light appeared. Stay safe folks.

Last year, extreme weather events, staffing issues in some air traffic control towers, and strikes caused widespread travel disruption. Strikes occur when airport and airline employees refuse to work as they demand better pay and conditions.

From Cleveland, the carrier announced another 10 new destinations — beginning in May — on a list that includes big cities, desirable warm-weather locales, enticing tourist destinations, and Myrtle Beach. Etihad pilots’ dream of being certified to fly both the A350 and A380 is coming true. Finnair finished a good year.

Severe turbulence encounters are rare as pilots generally know how to avoid them, except when they inadvertently fly into clear air turbulence, which cannot be seen. If shear rate values increase along the route, it’s time to warn the cabin crew of approaching turbulence during the preflight briefing.

Damp Lease is which the lessor (owner) provides the aircraft, maintainence of the aircraft and flight crew. However, cabin crew and insurance will not be provided. The airline that is leasing the aircraft will provide its own cabin crew and will be trained before being allowed to work on these leased aircraft.

Being involved in aviation as a pilot or flight attendant, no matter what airport, is an exciting journey. What are Domicile's Delta Airline domiciles are simply crew bases in certain cities. It is the place in which Delta crews (flight attendants and pilots ) are based. Most people want to avoid commuting.

The cabin crew generally was nice and I interacted with one asking her what she thinks about this aircraft and from her response she wasn't enthusiastic about working on it and I can understand why. On this flight, there were 3 flight crew which probably means one of them was undergoing training. The city view of Singapore.

The weather was not good that day. Greeted by the not-so-friendly crew, I made my way to the seat with about 90% of the seats taken. I checked the weather radar and fortunately for us, the weather was good until evening time. The crew came around to serve us snack and for the rest of the ride, it was a comfortable ride.

By then the aircraft started its descent when the cabin crew were released from their seats. Unfortunately the weather wasn't good that day.

Initially a woman sitting at the aisle seat was willing to change her seat with the wife (sitting a row behind me - middle seat) then after that the cabin crew came to assist and informed them that there was a vacant seat at the first row (no idea which seat it was). One thing I won't miss is the dreadful weather. Here we are!

My flying partner last week was Jim, a longtime pilot, friend and Piper Aztec owner. I do know that these sorts of accidents happen every year, usually during the cross-over time between winter and spring, and the injuries usually happen to people not wearing their seat belts or, unfortunately, to cabin crew trying to do their jobs.

It took a while before the seatbelt sign was turned off and the crew started preparing for in-flight service. Some nice Indian music was being played before take off and landing, I thought that was nice, it somehow helps to calm one nerves especially when flying through turbulent weather. The pillow added extra comfort for me.

A British pilot, Freddie Bosworth set up this airline and today it is trying to be as competitive as possible, giving Qatar, Emirates and Etihad Airways some form of competition. I don't think the pilots on my aircraft were happy about it. Unfortunately weather at Athens was not good, it was quite windy at that time.

This is the area of Rossio Santa Maria Maior The view is absolutely stunning especially in good weather. On the day of departure Even though we had plenty of time before our flight departure, we decided to head to the airport early as dragging our cabin baggage across the footpath was not ideal. Goodbye Lisbon, until next time!

Once on board, I noticed a cabin crew was serving champagne on a plastic cup and was pleasantly surprised I was given one, I suppose because of the occasion (New Year's Day). Once we were on our way, we flew through a bit of turbulence but once the weather was better, the seat belt sign was turned off. That's a good idea!

Whether you’re a seasoned pilot, an aviation enthusiast, or just curious about the costs associated with flight, this blog is a must-read. Gliders, for example, are not powered and therefore require favorable weather conditions to fly. Even at the lower end, many single-engine aircraft handle tough weather conditions just fine.

The weather at Changi was great! The weather that day in Singapore was great and we took off smoothly into the friendly skies. The captain made a couple of announcements including the welcome and thank you speeches and he also mentioned about some weather along the way. This is where my flight departed from. Time to board!

Obviously certain outlets find the whole “the pilots flew to the wrong airport!” The pilots, the flight attendants, and their aircraft were dispatched, flight-planned, and fueled for a trip to Edinburgh. But, you’re thinking, wouldn’t the “welcome aboard” spiel by either the pilots or cabin crew have given things away?

Most of the ones I have seen are in the Caribbean markets and the vendors go on and on about how your bag is going to be protected from the weather because of what they are doing. As far as protecting your bag, the real odds of it getting wet are fairly small since bags are only exposed to the weather for a very short time.

What else I noted about this flight is the cabin crew made a birthday announcement wishing a 17 years old passenger, a happy birthday (I wonder whether she received anything from the crew - SQ does offer birthday cakes but you need to request in advance) and our first officer on this flight was a female. Thanks for the memories.

What excites me about this trip with GOL is that I finally caught my first 737 MAX ride and also enjoyed the splendid view from Rio De Janeiro to Sao Paulo although the weather was not the best. As for the cabin, it is very basic, no IFE system or WIFI maybe that's why the airfare is cheaper. This is one of the examples.

Taking the emotion out of the topic is the key to an effective discussion between upper management and airline pilots. The key is to have a dialogue that both crews and management understand by laying out the facts and new theories and innovations that change what we as airline pilots may understand.

Therefore it is common for flight delays in departure and arrival especially if the weather is bad. Since these aircraft were already installed with Aeroflot's cabin interior and configuration, the Indian airline decided to make some minor changes and that also means the airline didn't have to wait long to take delivery of the 6 aircraft.
