by Gustin Robinson, FAA CFI-I ASEL The body needs oxygen to regulate bodily functions and supply the brain with the power to process information. As pilots, we often fly at altitudes where the oxygen supply to our bodies is limited. Many student pilots have heard of §91.211 in the far/aim , but what exactly does it mean, and why do we need to use supplemental oxygen?

It can be difficult to understand the path of becoming an airline pilot. You may be wondering what the required steps are and if you can go straight to the airlines after the completion of training. Airlines require you to have 1500 flight hours before flying with them. Therefore, you will need to build flight time after you complete training which helps you obtain an estimated 300 hours.

According to a September 2022 report from TripActions , business trip bookings for fall are up nearly six times, year-over-year. Meanwhile, following a flat summer, travel spend rose 27% in August, with another 30% increase projected for September.

I hope that it helps others avoid similar situations in the future. Here is the video: The comments indicate that these incidents are relatively common and occur most frequently when the tow pilot is used to pulling very light gliders that only require a low tow speed.
