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...

FAA InFO Translates Canadian ATC Lingo

In an attempt to keep current with all aspects of aviation, I subscribe to all manner of e-mail updates. In this arena, the FAA is prolifically focused. My latest discovery is the InFO, short for Information For Operators. Produced by the FAA’s Flight...

Why Southwest Grabs My Business, Again and Again

Word of Mouth marketing (WOM) is a bit like the Superman of campaigns. Nothing can stop it. That’s because the company the campaign focuses on has little or nothing to do with the effort. It’s all customer driven. People recommending products...

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...

A Middle School Perspective on Aviation

A judge for “What’s Your Story,” the Wittman Regional Airport writing contest for those in grades 3-12 in Oshkosh-area schools, I feel compelled to share some observations gleaned from the entries I’ve just read. As our future, I found their participation...

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...

Jetwhine Tries to Out-Cranky the Cranky Flier

I’m made quite a career out of whining about the aviation industry, but even I need someone’s shoulder to moan on every so often. As I sit here in a hotel room in Bordeaux trying to get back to the states from France using an American/Iberia...

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...

Will Aviation Biofuel be New Farm Subsidy?

First thing last Monday morning I read that US Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack was scheduled to hold an hour-long meeting with aviation officials from Boeing, Honeywell, and United Airlines later that day at Boeing HQ. The announced agenda...

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...

Will Army Drones Spark Interservice Rivalry?

A Monkey in Our Subscription Works

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...
