The way JetBlue tells it, Los Angeles remains an important focus city and a crew base, but this week’s big cuts in LA starting for travel starting June 13 suggest otherwise. After nearly 23 years, JetBlue is finally giving up on making something on the West Coast a key focus city. Its last attempt, LAX, will now revert to being a spoke on steroids, exactly what it should be.
I just returned from the shop and I have to say this one is a real head scratcher. First, a fluid level check on the pump, it was good. Next with the use of an extended mirror we found no leaks, however the one AN connection needed about a quarter turn. We did find some residue but it was negligible, considering the amount of 5606 I had added to the system the day before.

iPad kneeboard buyer’s guide—2024 edition iPad Pilot News Every pilot should secure their iPad in the cockpit, for both convenience and safety. The most popular ways to do this involve either a mount or a kneeboard, and it usually ends up being a bit of a “Coke or Pepsi” debate.

March 19, 2024 TEN YEARS AGO this month, Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappeared during a routine flight between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing. The wreckage was never found. There’s a solid chance the wreckage will never be found. That’s unfortunate, but there are clues to work with. And those clues have, over time, led me to believe that the plane was intentionally brought down by one of the pilots, most likely the captain, in an act of murder-suicide.

A long voicemail from my nephew is not what I expected after I ignored a call from an unknown number. Recently married, he was on his honeymoon in Cartegena, Colombia, and from their hotel they could see the airport. This led to what he described as an “argument” about whether it was easier to control a prop plane like a crop duster or an airliner like a Boeing 737.

Here are some tips for business aircraft operators requesting Cuban overflight permits: Cuba Overflight Requirements On most routes, overflight permits are necessary for priv
The purpose of the different airspace rules is safety. Some areas of the US have more flights than others. Therefore, the FAA has implemented classes of airspace to reflect this activity.

The US Airspace System is divided into these categories.

There’s no doubt that having good pilot credentials is important when job hunting. But from our earliest days as pilots, each of us has learned to revere flight hours. Somewhere back in ground school was buried the subliminal message, “the pilot with the most hours is the best… the pilot with the most hours is the best.” Strictly from an experience standpoint, maybe there’s some truth to this.
Welcome to my trip report on TAP Air Portugal Part 1! This 8wc my ride CS-TVL, photographed her after arriving at Lisbon.
