Proverbs for Powered Flight’s Second Century
Aviation is all about change, and it makes rapid advances in short spurts of time. World War I was once such spurt, and World War II was another. Capabilities soared and crew size shrank as progress took the place of navigators and radio operators. The...

Visual Distractions Still Affect Flight Safety
When I learned to fly back in the mid 1970s, the airspace over the LA Basin was pretty crowded. Because of the smog that then reduced the visibility to some degree every day, most aviators were usually quite serious about seeing and avoiding each other...

Dear FAA: Is the Administrator In Please?
One of Jetwhine’s earliest supporters - Matt Thurber - sent us this piece, one that I’m happy to publish. Matt is an old friend and a senior editor at Aviation International News , where I’m also a long-time contributor. This piece would...

New FAA Wings Program Stresses Proficiency, Not Award
During the late 1990s I participated in the FAA Pilot Proficiency Award Program. Each year, in return for attending one safety seminar and logging three hours with an instructor (one each for airwork, patternwork, and hoodwork) I met the biennial flight...

Fuel Prices & Aviation Safety: Are They Related?
Talking to friends, flight schools, and FBOs it is clear that I’m not the only one who isn’t flying as much as I used to. With avgas going for roughly $6 a gallon or more, depending where you live, direct operating costs are climbing faster...

The Global Need for Very Light Jet (VLJ) Best Training Practices
Bob Barnes used to fly T-38s for the Air Force so the guy’s already one of my heroes. Turns out he and I served in the USAF around the same time during another war when we were both kids. Today, Barnes focuses his love of flying on VLJs and how...

Cessna 400 Goes Eyeball to Eyeball with Cyclone Gene
We’ve all been following a truly interesting flying story the past few days here at Jetwhine, simply because a 6,500 NM flight in a Cessna 400 - most of it out over the open waters of the Pacific - is hardly routine. Ferry pilot Garry Mitchell has...

Broken Airliners Seldom Mean Happy Endings
