By Jordan Bullock CFI, FO B737 Most people think that altitude is simply your plane's height above the ground. Most people aren't pilots , though. Pilots know that weather has an intense impact on flying. This includes our altitude! In aviation, altitude isn’t a simple blanket term to be thrown over our height above the ground. It can mean an abundance of different things.

By Jordan Bullock CFI, FO B737 As you’re learning to fly, you progress through various stages. With this progression, your instructor ’s verbiage towards you as a student changes. For example, your CFI might say, “Hey, on this one, give me a steep climb out ”. Eventually, this turns into, “Climb me out at Vx ”. Each aircraft’s POH or manual has a page specifically dedicated to that aircrafts V-Speeds.

Dear Pilot, While it is excellent that you communicate with company when you have in flight issues, please note that you have a commercial licence and something like 2000 hours of experience.

A Germanwings Airbus A320 Photo Credit: SEBASTIEN MORTIER ( [link] ) Do pilots have to undergo any sort of mental check before flying? Yes, long before proceeding to fly any commercial planes, pilots indeed undergo mental health checks. A study of 809 Brazilian pilots generally revealed that between 6.7% and 12% had a common mental disorder. Just like in any other industry, airlines are aware of this issue and had in fact implemented pre-selection personality tests on all aspiring pilots.

What Were Some of Aviations Most Valuable Lessons? Discipline I think one lesson my kids learned was watching their dads work ethic when it came to honing his craft. Every year was recurrent training and they would see their dad lay out all of his notes and training materials on the dining room table. It was organized by systems. He would make flash cards to memorize or walk through procdeures.
