By Jordan Bullock CFI, Boeing 737 Pilot Weather by nature is unpredictable and chaotic. As a pilot, its important to understand weather, as well as your personal limitations in regards to both the aircraft, and your personal skill set. Unfortunately throughout my aviation career I’ve witnessed multiple pilots underestimate weather as a force and put themselves in extremely compromising positions, as if we can just pull over on the side of the road and wait out a storm.

Welcome to my return flight trip report on Emirates's A380! Introduction Flying with this airline at this time was perfect timing as the airline introduced the Premium Economy Class to it's portfolio not too long ago, making it more affordable for passengers who wish to experience more comfort while without paying over the odds to enjoy the premium class.

Last month’s 10th anniversary SpotLAX event was one for the ages. We had our best turnout ever, and many attendees remarked that this was the best SpotLAX they had been to. New for this year was a rooftop spotting party at the H Hotel Los Angeles that saw nearly 200 people attend, easily our largest gathering of all time. Today, we’re thrilled to announce the dates for next year’s SpotLAX event.

Welcome to my last part of my Emirates A380 (2023) trip report!

Departure from the Canada Aviation and Space Museum At 2:30 pm, I notified museum staff that I needed to return to my airplane. I was escorted outside by a docent who was supposed to have led the 2:30 pm Reserve Hangar tour, but was available because no one signed up for it. Yes, I missed an opportunity for a one on one tour! But I also needed to be airborne at 3:00 pm or else amend my flight plan and arrival time with US Customs in Ogdensville, NY.

"The air was our element, the sky our battlefield. The majesty of the heavens, while it dwarfed us, gave us, I think, a spirit unknown to studier men who fought on earth. Nobility surrounded us. We moved like spirits in an airy loom, where wind and cloud and light wove day and night long the endless fabric of the changing sky.From this exalted eminence we surveyed the earth--an earth grown suddenly remote and insignificant, so vast and overpowering was the dominion of the sky." -- Cecil Lewis, S
