Women are Key to Aviation’s Future

Did you know that March is Women’s History Month, and that Women of Aviation Worldwide Week started March 5? I didn’t, until a friend shared an e-mail from Penny Hamilton, a pilot with a Ph.D. who’s invested a lot of time studying just about every aspect...

Then & Now Explains Present With Past

If there’s a poster child for the public’s misunderstanding of the physics of flight, it has to be the stall. Every time some poor reporter in print or on TV, who hasn’t dug deep enough, relates it to the airplane’s powerplant, haven’t we all shaken our...

Flying Club May Resuscitate Flying Career

CLEAR! TV doctors bark this sharp-elbowed warning before they shock a restive heart back to a regular rhythm. It is also the warning pilots issue to bystanders before they energize an airplane’s air processer. Seemingly disassociated warnings, several...

Signs of New Aviation Era are Unmistakable

From aviation’s infancy, the US military has been a leading source of aerial innovations and educator of those who put those winged aviation innovations to work. With the end of each conflict, pilots, technicians, and engineers used their training and...

Aviation: It’s ALWAYS About The Passengers

Last Saturday was not a good day for transportation, but for once the bad news was not about aviation. An immense cruise ship — the Costa Concordia — capsized in the Mediterranean Sea off the west coast of Italy where rocks near the shore...

VOR Days Numbered in FAA Proposal

In a general sense, I knew that NextGen would be the end of the VORs that have reliably led aviators for decades. But 10 days before Christmas, the retirement of these familiar white cones is much more real. That’s when the FAA published its request for...

Looking Bach at the Joy of Simple Flight

An old-school reader, annually I must winnow my collected ink-on-paper titles to make shelf room for Christmas newcomers. As they have for decades, the works of Richard Bach survive every purge. Like many others, I met Richard through the pages of Jonathan...

Pitch & Power and the Margin of Error

A recent issue of AOPA’s Flight School Business included this story: FAA Updates CFI Renewal Clinic Guidelines . It referenced the updated advisory circular that covers FIRCs and noted that the FAA added angle of attack (AoA) to the list of core subjects...

Fear of Flying: How GA Pilots can Lessen the Impact

By Douglas Boyd Ph.D One of every six adult Americans is afraid to fly according to the Journal of Travel Research. Frightened folks – who BTW cross all socio-economic lines – take 66% fewer commercial airline trips than those who enjoy time aloft. Interestingly...

A Budding CFI, a New Writer

Editor Note: At least a couple of times each week, someone sends an unsolicited story trying to convince us to publish it. More often than not, the material simply doesn’t fit. It’s either too long, too sales focused or – as happened...

Simulated Intro Cuts First-Flight Stress, Cost

At the August meeting about the AOPA Student Retention Initiative , a CFI in the audience suggested replacing a real airplane, the most expensive line of the flight training bill, with a simulator. Not totally, mind you, but enough to get students started...

AF 447: Final Moments, a Few Thoughts

I have always felt I’d be doing my flight students a disservice not to mention that while soaring aloft is an unmatched experience, it can and will snuff out a life in a moment if the pilot becomes too complacent … no matter how sophisticated...

North Dakota Aviation: Front Door to Growth

Lately there hasn’t been much good news about aviation, general or otherwise. Then I went to North Dakota for a story on a one-tech avionics shop halfway between Fargo and Bismarck. A flight school was setting up in the next hangar, an indicator of better...

Airlines Not Only Ones Addicted to Autopilot

September started with an AP story that revealed the cost of airline cockpit automation , atrophied stick and rudder skills. As one might expect, there’s been a lot of comment on both sides of the argument. Some GA types have been, without justification...

Flying Job Scales Tilt Toward Pilots

When I wrote the second edition of Professional Pilot Career Guide a few years back, a great economy was in full swing with many more flying jobs than there were pilots to accept. If it had not been for the economy taking a nosedive in 2008, the pilot...
