Charles Ryan's Flying Adventure

DECEMBER 29, 2023

Welcome to my final trip report for 2023! Firefly ATR-72-500 9M-FYG was my ride to Seletar (XSP) airport Introduction I always wanted to fly either in or out of Seletar Airport and I thought this period was the best time to do so. For now, Firefly is the only airline that operates at this airport but I suspect once Scoot starts operating the ERJ-190 E2, we might see them flying out of this airport, giving Firefly some competition.

Boeing 737-200 Aloha Flight 243 showing significant structural failure. Image source: ResearchGate ( [link] ) How long do airliners typically last? Are they ever declared ‘too old’? Commercial airliners typically have a lifespan ranging from 20 to 30 years. In reality, a plane’s age isn’t measured in years but rather in pressurization cycles.

Airplanes always seem to want to turn left, especially in a climb. But why does this happen? In this three-minute video tip, we dive into the physics in a way that makes sense for pilots. 3D animations and in-flight video show the effects of P-factor, gyroscopic precession and spiraling slipstream.

Each year for as long as I can remember, Sporty’s Pilot Shop has sent its annual crystal airplane ornament with the Christmas card it sends to members of the aviation media. We hung our growing collection of them each year until our boys moved on and out to start their own families, and our downsized tree wasn’t robust enough to sustain them. Instead of creating a Charlie Brown Christmas tree of airplane ornaments, we passed along the ornaments to friends and family who look up when they hear an

This fun scenario not only fuels our holiday spirit but also aligns with the adventurous essence of our Professional Pilot Programs and Private Pilot Pro

The holder of a pilot certificate issued under 14 CFR Part 61 may perform specified preventive maintenance on any aircraft owned or operated by that pilot, as long as the aircraft is not used under 14 CFR Part 121, 127, 129, or 135. Pilots need to understand that authorized preventive maintenance cannot involve complex assembly operations. As an owner/pilot one should carefully review 14 CFR Part 43, Appendix A, Subpart C (Preventive Maintenance), which provides a list of the authorized preventi

I often get asked the question by prospective flight school students on the best places to go for flight school. There are so many options and so many different paths to obtaining a career in aviation, and it’s often hard to determine the best course of action. However, one of the most common questions I get asked is whether or not to go part 61 (informal instruction) or part 141 (formal and highly regulated).

Gratitude For over a decade, I have returned to my logbook at the end of each year to review all that occurred and select some prized images that I think best represent the preceding twelve months. Every time I do, I cannot help but feel immense gratitude for the remarkable things I have experienced as a pilot. I am thankful for pioneering aviators who made it all possible, for a career that allows me to fund it, for flight instructors who taught me their skills, for family that tolerates my fas
