Our world, inclusive of every single generation, has been able to produce some of the most genius inventors that ever walked the face of the earth.

Over eighty years ago, Clyde Cessna was instrumental in the development and manufacturing of monoplanes...

Many student pilots wish to buy a new aircraft of their own after they learn to fly. Renting an aircraft costs too much. Yet consider the cost of a new aircraft, talk about sticker shock and that is before you have to buy insurance, pay for hangar space, tie down or put fuel in it. Obviously all these costs are considered when renting you the aircraft to learn to fly in and those who have leased them back to an FBO are all too aware of the abuse the plane will take and the maintenance costs which will ensue. So, it costs too much to buy your own aircraft, too much to rent and leasing back a new aircraft you buy to an FBO is a dead end deal other than a tax write off, because of the maintenance costs...

General aviation encompasses charter flights, bush flights, gliding, police, fire and emergency ambulance services, as well as any unscheduled flights with commercial airlines. In most countries, business jets and cargo jets are under the same regulations as most regularly scheduled commercial flights. Bush flying and air ambulances, charter flights and gliders have lower expectations and guidelines. They use smaller, often private, airports, and are subject to less government regulation. Three quarters of all the planes that take off and land in the U.S. are general aviation planes. The National Air Transportation Committee says that general aviation pumped about $100 billion into the nation’s...

If there's any course that demands a lot of emphasis on taking exams and passing them successfully than is the private pilot's license course. This is understandable when there is so much at risk for the safety not only of the pilot and his passengers but others around them as well.

Also the same holds true for the practical aspect contrary to the belief that people think that planes nowadays basically fly themselves.

cl Did you know that there is actually a remote control helicopters training club? It’s true! They actually take people out to a field, and show them the best way to fly their remote control helicopter. I was so surprised when I heard this, and I couldn’t believe it was a lucrative business, but here’s how they do it. The team leader tells all his students that they first need to go out and get a remote control helicopter. Of course, he also tells them that there is a specific brand and model that they need to purchase, and the students dutifully go out and purchase it. Lucky for the instructor, the remote control helicopter seller has agreed to give him a commission for every...

Finding work as a corporate flight attendant can be an arduous process as, unlike the commercial carriers, most business jets do not require a flight attendant to work onboard an aircraft. Add to the mix that many operators do not opt to use flight attendants and the market tightens up even more. Still, there is work out there for those who aspire to fly on a private jet. Before heading down that road, many companies do require that you have some sort of corporate specific training before you can even apply for a job. Let's take a brief look at various types of training programs available and what they have to offer. Culinary Training If you already have a culinary background, you have a leg up in...

 On the occasion of Golden Jubilee Celebrations it is a great pleasure to review the important role and responsibility shared by the Operational Technical Training (OTT) Section. The CTE has been imparting civil aviation related training to airline personnel by qualified ground and flying instructors, examiners and check pilots.While the flying crew are flying the aircraft carefully to transport the air passengers safely from place to place, the ground instructors, their classroom mentors , take the total responsibility of making them fit for the profession. The ground technical instructors of OTT impart theoretical ground class room training. It makes the trainees to visualise and realise the...

Helicopters are one of the most versatile vehicles ever invented. Their unique ability to hover in mid-air, fly sideways, backwards and being able to land in a space no bigger than a tennis court make them uniquely suited to perform a wide variety of tasks. If you're thinking about a career as a professional helicopter pilot now is the time. Helicopter use is at an all time high and the imminent retirement of many veteran pilots means increased opportunity for those who want to fly helicopters as a career. These are some of the many professional helicopter pilot positions that are available now and will continue to be available into the foreseeable future. I. Emergency Medical Services (EMS)- These...

It can be quite disappointing when someone is taking a private pilots course and once it becomes time to go to their final exam, they realize that they really haven't had an understanding of the training requirements. This is something that the training school should have made very clear as far as how much theory time and practical time has to be spent in order for one to qualify for the exam. However, if you have neglected to pay attention or to read the rules and regulations that the school has outlined then the problem could be your lack of understanding. One thing that you want to be very clear on is that there is going to be certain segments to your training. Part of that will be your pre-solo...

Every individual when in a plane always has a little apprehension when taking off and landing. This is the time that if something is going to go wrong it will most likely be now. Usually though the lesser of the two evils is the take off with mishaps occurring more during the landing process. It has been determined though if an accident occurs when the plane is departing it is much more substantial. Every time a pilot is about to fly he is hoping for the ultimate condition. He wants the weather to be perfect with no winds. As soon as pilot enters training he is taught to pay very close attention to the weather conditions. The pilot learns during his training that there are very stages to take offs...

I have completed my first solo flight with only 9 hours of dual flight time. It was a very exciting experience. I loved it from the moment the wheels left the ground. It got even better though. As soon as I finished my solo, my instructor started preparing me for my first cross-country trip. We would fly to Muncie, IN which is a little over 50 miles away. I say 'a little over' because the requirements for cross country flight to credit my training is 'a flight of over 50 miles'. Well, on some computers it says 49.5 or so, but if you look on the map and measure the scale, it is a tad over 50 miles. That's good enough for me! The cross country trip involves a lot of planning. You also have to learn a...

In recent years there has been an increase in the use of helicopters by law enforcement. Helicopters provide a clear advantage to law enforcement. They offer speed, a bird's eye perspective, and the use of specialized sensors such as infrared that enable them to "see" in the dark. A career flying law enforcement helicopters is definitely within your reach and can offer excitement as well as financial rewards and job security. Most, but not all law enforcement agencies require that you be a law enforcement officer before you become a pilot. This means attending the police academy and spending time in a patrol car or walking a beat. This will expose you to the situations that police officers on the...

A career flying off-shore oil support helicopters can be filled with excitement and challenge. Off shore oil support flying refers to flying in support of the oil and gas industries. Off shore helicopter pilots transport equipment and personnel to and from oil rigs from strategically located shore bases.

The major areas for off shore helicopter operations in the United States are the Gulf of Mexico and Alaska but many regions of the world have off shore rigs operating and use helicopters for support.

Set Your VOR Most likely you've gone over your flight plan with your examiner so you already know what VOR you're going to be using. So set this BEFORE you actually start flying. Get it out of the way so you're not distracted during your exam. The reason for this is simple. You're going to be nervous enough as it is. The less you have to do during the exam itself, the better. And since this is something that can be done ahead of time,do it. Watch The Weather You'll never believe how many people schedule their exams without giving a second thought to what the weather is going to be like. Do you really want to fly your plane in the middle of a hurricane? It's a simple tip but a very important one...

Computer flight simulator games have come a long way since Bill Gates put his money where his fascination with flight was and bankrolled the ACES studio. Flight simulation games have always been at the forefront of gaming technology thanks in part to ACES but mostly to the military. These days, when people in Nevada are flying war theater drones over Iraq in real time, the line between simulation and reality has become even more blurred. But most people just want to have fun with a more serious game without any violence. And computer flight simulator games are perfect for this. Whether you are a novice just wanting to try out flying a plane, or are more experienced and want to hone your skills or...

Most of us are so afraid of falling that we avoid the edge of every situation and we hug the middle. This fear does not just apply to extreme sports it applies to every aspect of our life. We spend most our lives in our comfort zone going through life avoiding risks of any kind. At the end of our lives we have made no mark on our world and we are in most parts forgettable. The fact you are here today means you have decided to take the steps to walk up to edge and look out at the other side; you might not be ready to jump off but you should not step back to the middle to your comfort zone. To summarize this is about taking risks in your life and moving out of the comfort zone to achieve your goals in...

The most dramatic way to see the Grand Canyon is by helicopter. Unlike small aircraft, these maneuverable machines can pop over peaks, descend into ancient craters, and carve canyons. And, because they don't require an airstrip, they can land on nearly any flat space on which only helicopters have access. Most Grand Canyon helicopter tours originate from Las Vegas, NV, which is approximately 1.5 hours from northwest of the Canyon. The key helicopter tour companies are Papillon, Grand Canyon, and Maverick. Total tour time clocks in around 2.5 hours. Add more time if you disembark on the Canyon floor. Basic tours start at $325 per person. However, if you shop the Internet, you can expect to pay much...

The first time that I saw Jet Li's film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (in a little theatre in Boulder, Colorado) I wept, fairly continuously, for about the first thirty minutes, and after that sat enraptured, amazed & deeply grateful for the beauty, power & truth that I felt being emanated from the film. Two days later I returned, for my second viewing. By the third time (all week-day matinees: cheaper & less crowded), the theatre clerks & I exchanged amused glances of recognition. By about the fifth time I was definitely feeling sheepish, if not downright embarrassed, by what I imagined was being perceived as clearly-addictive behavior. But I didn't care! I saw the film, over the...

I would assume as a pilot, you have the basic knowledge of the first segment of taking off. Once you have gotten beyond the basic plane take off duties, you are ready to enter the next segment. Segment Two Of Taking Off: You are now in lift off where you are now officially off the ground. There are things you now have to turn your attention to. Observe what the nose position of the plane is. You need to have a consistent climbing rate at this point and you can achieve through the amount of back pressure you apply. You are going to have to multi task at this stage as you need to monitor your rate of speed and at the same time be fully aware of your external surroundings. Don't neglect to keep full...

If you want to become a professional pilot, how successful you are in reaching this goal will depend primarily on your determination and secondly on the pilot training that you get at a local flight school or a flight training academy. Like so many other schools, there are great schools, good schools, and schools that should have gone out of business a long time ago. Unfortunately, you won't find an evaluation on their web site, in their yellow page ads, or in the brochures that they send you. It is up to you to learn to thoroughly evaluate the school before you put your money down for flight training to become a pilot. Where Do You Find Flight Schools? The first part of deciding where you want to...
