Conformity and The Power of Suggestion

For all those who have never worked in an Aerospace Manufacturing environment, and surely there must be some out there, here is a quick beginners' guide to "Traceability". When aircraft are assembled the aircraft manufacturer needs to know...

Paralysis of the free hand

What working environment do you prefer to operate in? Do you prefer a rigid structure, rules and regulation..., or would you rather be left to get on with it? Now, obviously we're talking about the Aerospace industry so it's all relative and I'm...

It's a small industry after all, it's a small, small world

A new personal record. I started a new contract at a new company, at a new site, in a new town and on a product of which I have no specific experience. And on that very first day of work I was met by eight people I knew by name of and two or three more...

A Very Nervous Blogger

I'm a very nervous blogger. I've read too many horror stories of people being sacked for inadvertently saying the wrong thing. As a consultant / contractor the decision would be an easy one for my customers - no tribunal, no notice period, just...

Why am I here?

This is a great question and I mean "great" in the sense of "huge". So let me ask a more specific question: "Why did I choose the Aerospace Industry?" In the UK, when I was at school, you took "O" Level exams at...

All American Life....

Welcome. It's been a while. In my last post, oh so many months ago, my family and I were preparing to move across the Atlantic, Green Cards in hand. Well, we made it and moved to Maryland on the day of the second wave of the worst snowstorm for 100...

KMTN and the CFR on the SFRA around the DCA VOR/DME. OK?

As I have mentioned previously, I am training for my Private Pilot's Certificate at Martin State Airport (KMTN) and there are several interesting features of this airport. Sitting on the edge of the Chesapeake Bay, the airport was founded in 1929...

The Beginning of a Journey

A quick recap for those new to this Blog: I have recently moved to the USA and almost my first task was to sign up with a flight school to start training for a Private Pilot's Certificate. As with many things in life, however, all is not as simple...
