Pilot Licenses
The airplane is the nearest thing to animate life that man has created. In the air a machine ceases indeed to be a mere piece of mechanism; it becomes animate and is capable not only of primary guidance and control, but actually of expressing a pilot's temperament. - Sir Ross Smith, K.B.E., 'National Geographic Magazine,' March 1921. There are many kinds of pilot licenses that you can receive. This book primarily deals with private pilot licenses and certifications. Pilot licenses are issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA.) They are divided into two categories: certificates and training. A certificate defines the various levels of flying privileges that the pilot has earned. A rating...
5 Steps To Piloting RC Helicopters
Of all the RC crafts available, radio controlled helicopter is arguably the hardest to master. However, with the advent and advances of today's RC flight simulators, the learning curve have decreased. Now, new RC helicopter pilots can literally crash as often as they want until they can eventually keep their helicopter in the air. Nevertheless, conventional RC helicopter training lessons has not lost their importance. For some, they provide a guide to practicing in the simulator. For others who don't like simulators - or for some reasons can't get their hands on one, flying lessons are invaluable. For those that choose to go the no-simulator route, it is generally recommended that you hire a...

How to live the high life
“Fly me to the moon Let me sing among those stars Let me see what spring is like On Jupiter and Mars” (Frank Sinatra) Flying is the act or process of flight. Since man first looked up into the skies and saw the stars, heavenly bodies and creatures above him, he has wanted to take to the air and experience this for himself. Books have been written about flying, poems penned, and songs sung – all trying to capture the moment of weightlessness, the sheer thrill or the magical nothingness, that place between the heavens and the Earth where gravity is defied. Flight is the process by which an object achieves sustained movement either through the air (or movement beyond earth's atmosphere, in the...

William Stephenson, On Doing More In Life
-- End Ad Box ---> My name is William Stephenson; I grew up in Manasquan and have spent most of my life in New Jersey. I’d like to speak with you about achieving your best, about making the most of your assets and realizing your biggest dreams. I was raised with the adage that my accomplishments were only limited to the heights I could imagine. This was a commonly used and inspirational line that many parents shared with their children. At the time, those words didn’t mean so much to me. Upon further reflection however, the spirit of those words was ever present in my blind sub-conscience. When I was only 9 years of age, I had 2 paper routes on opposite ends of town. It was a morning...
Flying a Radio Controlled Helicopter For Beginners
If you have ever visited an RC flying club, you have seen, in all probability, one of the members flying a helicopter.

Sizes, options on the helicopter, the choice of electric or gas power, are only some of the selections. Making the right choice the first time can frequently be a hit or miss proposition. When selecting an RC...
Look What Stephen Did! Profiles in Goal Achievement
"You can't fly planes! Be more realistic!!" Those were the words of Stephen Hopson's well-meaning parents. You see, Stephen was born with a passion for flying, but he was also born profoundly deaf. When he was just four years old, Stephen would beg his mother to take him to the airport so he could watch the planes take off and land. He would stand at the perimeter fence and watch until the plane went taxing toward the runway. At that point, he would run back to the car and gently place his head its hood. "That plane would take off and the roar of its engines could be 'heard' through the tremendous vibration I would feel," says Stephen. He describes the vibration as what you would feel if you put...
IFR Simulator - Can Aviation Simulators Save You Time?
Could an IFR simulator save you time in getting your Instrument Rating? Among the auspices of utilizing an IFR simulator for your computer system is that you can devote as much time as you like practicing on it.

Registering, Operating and Managing a Business Jet From Malta
Having been a colony of Great Britain for 164 years (1800-1964), and then continued to serve as a base for Britain's Armed Forces for a further 15 years, Malta was introduced to the world of aviation from a very early start.

Equipment - The equipment in which you will be training is probably one of the most important areas in picking your flight school. Cessna 172's are the most common training aircraft, but just saying Cessna 172 is like saying, "I drive a Toyota Corolla." Ok, that's great, what year? What condition is it in?

Helicopter Sales For Used Helicopters
This article discusses how to buy used helicopters at helicopter sales to take advantage of he conveniences of this rapid mode of transportation at a more affordable price. Although a private jet is much faster than a helicopter, the latter type of vehicle has the advantage of convenience in terms of not requiring as much as space as an airplane so that you can even land it on the company parking space. For those who have a private pilot license with helicopter rating, they may even land the aircraft on the lawn, if the lawn is big enough and there are no neighbors close by who might complain, of course. With these in mind, you can look for possible helicopter sales on the Internet. Those who went...

So You Want to Be an Airline First Officer?
The only way to become a captain at an airline is to be a first officer first. But, if you haven't noticed, the airline industry is not the airline industry of years gone by. So why is it that young men and women are STILL drawn to a career in aviation? I see it all the time. There are still young adults attending flight schools and aviation universities throughout the United States with their eyes set on becoming an airline pilot. I believe it is because flying airplanes is still fun, rewarding, and fulfills the need for excitement and an alternative lifestyle rather than the typical nine-to-five.

Use Flight Simulator Games To Get Over Your Fear of Flying
Flight simulator games can help to deal with the fear of flying. This is not witchcraft or snake oil, it is an intelligent solution to an awful phobia suffered by many people. I discovered this completely accidentally through my sister-in-law, who was afflicted with aerophobia all her life. But when she started playing flight simulator games with my wife and I things started to change little by little for her. But, to give some context to the story, I have always been interested in air travel so when computer flight simulator games started appearing on the market some 15 years ago I naturally looked into them and tried out a few. They were pretty disappointing for a long time either too convoluted...
