Regardless of where you look if you are a person who requires special arrangements for an airline flight then you’ve probably discovered that commercial airlines are often less than accommodating.

Paul Tocknell told how he loved making conversations with his passengers, and that tiny friendship that he builds with them. One of the inevitable questions that people ask him was how his interest in flying came about. Perhaps, like other pilots out there, his dream to become one started when his obsession with airplanes was born. He started drawing and assembling them. The idea of airplanes was introduced to him when his father was taking flight lessons, and he started looking at his father’s manuals. Continue reading

The United States new Stealth Fighter will probably would be one of the last fighter planes, or combat aircraft that actually has a pilot inside. The next generation of fighter planes will not need a pilot because they will be run with Tele-robotics, or completely autonomously. This will not only prevent the risking of lives in the battlespace, but it will also allow these aircraft to make it sharper turns, which would normally black-out a human pilot.

The cost savings to create fully autonomous aircraft without the cockpit and all the controls, or all the systems needed for ejection seats, instrumentation, and life support systems will be about a 45% savings, for more. Without the extra weight of all this instrumentation, pilot, and everything involved with putting a human into an… Continue reading

Aircraft are not toys, well some aircraft are toys or made for pleasure and sport, but they are not anything to take lightly. You must respect aircraft at all times, never take your mind off of their operations and you must stay heads up even when you are on the ground. This goes for those working around or handling their private aircraft on the ramp as much as naval military personnel working with flight operations on an aircraft carrier. Let me tell you a little story that happened long ago.

You see, I was at the airport, a little general aviation airport, and a guy in a Beechcraft Musketeer with a problem with his battery starts his aircraft by hand propping it. No big deal right? He also set the nose… Continue reading

Aircraft overhaul is crucial as the lifetime use of each individual plane varies significantly. Some airlines only use craft that are fairly new, while other airlines are forced, for long-term finance lease reasons, to operate much older aircraft. Aircraft maintenance and overhaul services sometimes operate as an accident damage center to repair damage from small repairs to major renovation.

Aircraft maintenance is critically important with quality service companies focusing on either particular aircraft or several models depending upon the size of the company. As part of aircraft maintenance services and overhaul, parts are individually assessed at regular intervals to make sure that craft comply with aviation rules and regulations. Deterioration and age-prevention programs are fundamental to the longevity of the aircraft and they help to prevent dangerous circumstances arising.

Airworthiness standards are… Continue reading

With so many airshows going on throughout the year one that is dynamic and guaranteed to hold the attention in every way is held at Dunsfold, the Wings and Wheels aircraft and race car show is certainly one of first class. The home of the Top Gear television program certainly packs a punch when it comes to entertaining a crowd. Essentially Dunsfold is a low key privately owned aerodrome used mainly for testing, repair, and a variety of aircraft operations, but on the day of their annual prestigious airshow it becomes a buzzing hive for all kinds fuel driven activities.

I arrived just after 8am as I believed this to be early enough to gain entry and experience some of the other attractions available prior to the main display getting started… Continue reading

Aerospace spring materials and their quality can be in stark relief when they are mechanical springs which have failed either by fracture or by significant deformation in use, a mechanical product newly designed or improved, where a new design of a spring is required, or where cost reduction is required for the spring.Perhaps the springs were used in severer conditions than initially expected or some important quality requirement failed to be included at the design stage.

When unloaded. springs should return to the original position or to the original shape. An unloaded spring often does not recover to its original shape and this kind of shape change is called a permanent set of a spring. If a permanent set takes place in a spring, it may exert some deleterious effect. Springs… Continue reading

Carefully inspect all hydraulic hose and fittings at regular intervals to ensure airworthiness. Investigate any evidence of fluid loss or leaks. Check metal tubes for leaks, loose anchorage, scratches, kinks, or other damage. Inspect fittings and connections for leakage, looseness, cracks, burrs, or other damage. Replace or repair defective elements. Make sure the hoses do not chafe against one another and are correctly secured and clamped.

a. Replacement of Metal tube. When inspection shows hydraulic hose to be damaged or defective replace the entire line or, if the damaged section is localized, a repair section may be inserted. In replacing aircraft hose, always use tubing of the same size and material as the original line. Use the old tubing as a template when bending the new tube, unless it is too… Continue reading

There are many reasons to gain a Private Pilot License, also called a Private Pilot Certificate. The three main reasons are for recreation, business, or a stepping stone to the Commercial Pilot License. While many pilots in the United States get their flight training through the military, here we provide the steps needed to become a pilot by training at one of the many flight schools in America. Lets take a look at the steps which are needed in order to become a certified Private Pilot.

1) The first step is a psychological step. You need to make sure you are in the proper mind set and have the proper attitude to learn how to fly. This means you should have a very good reason, at least for yourself, in terms… Continue reading
