Visual flight rules

held a flight instructor certificate for helicopters and single engine land planes (NTSB 911AA Eurocopter, 2014). Records showed the pilot had logged over 10,000 flight hours, of which 8,452 hours were in helicopters (NTSB 911AA Eurocopter, 2014). Based on the pilot’s log books and DPS records he had documented only 38.3 hours of instrumental flight in helicopters of which only 0.5 hours was actual instrument time (NTSB 911AA Eurocopter, 2014). The most recent helicopter instrumental flight…

The Time I Went to Punta Cana Imagine landing at an airport that is all outside and has no inclosed area. Imagine landing in an airport that is basically all Tiki huts, but really it is an airport. Imagine getting off of the plane by using the stairs that lead to outside air and Imagine walking into 100 degrees, beautiful weather. This place I landed in was called Punta Cana. When I was younger, I had always wanted to go to Punta Cana. Punta Cana was one of my dream places to visit and I…

before safely landing on the ground with the help of the parachutes. The free fall flights, which give people rests and restores them from work as a kind of recreation, stimulate people’s passion of lives and become parts of their wonderful memories. Jumping out of the airplane is amusing. Hence, skydiving activity is not just a free fall process; it is actually flying— a free, imaginative and non-mechanical flight. Skydiving is not only considered as leisure and recreation but also involves a…

wing separate mechanically to different locations in order to slow down and land properly amused me and I think seeing that just added to my passion for airplanes and aviation. This has made me desire to attend flight school eventually to learn all about the principles and physics of flight. From what I have researched I would most likely attend Mountain City Aviation because the staff are friendly and educated it is close to where I live and I have heard of some great success stories from their…

felt like I needed a break from all of this chaos here. I just need to get away from everything. So, the next morning I booked my flight to Jamaica. The sound of the wheels on my suitcase ringed in my ears. I can’t believe I’m finally getting to go. It seems like it was forever ago that I had booked my flight when it was only last week. As I got aboard the plane the flight attendant asked if I wanted anything and I shook my head no. I found my seat in first class and sat down. I jumped out of…

One activity is the paper airplane caper. This is a little activity that is fun and you learn new things about friends. What you do is write five facts about yourself on a piece of paper. Then you make a paper airplane with the paper you write the facts on. Then as a group you throw the paper airplane a around the room. When everyone is done throwing their airplane you pick up one you find on the ground. You read it one by one and try to guess who wrote it. As a group you find out new things…

doing my project and research on how far you can get an airplane to go. There are many possible ways to improve the airplane's flight length. In the next paragraphs or topics, I will be discussing how there are multiple ways to improve the flight length. We want the planes to fly as far as they can. Problem:…

Before the devastating crash of Airline flight 4055, a series of events occurred leading to the murder of Janice Denver. The late night flight from Chicago to Los Angeles left with Dean Lipshine sitting next to the victim Janice Denver. Janice was unsuspecting to the events that would lead to the end of her life. She first sat down on the plane next to a seemly friendly man, Dean Lipshine. They made small talk, about how the terminal in the airport seemed like it could use some cleaning and…

Since the first flight in 1903 by the Wright Brothers, the aviation industry has consistently been advancing. Whether it was for commercial, private, or military use the main goal has been to produce the most technological advanced, fuel efficient, and fastest aircraft possible. The Douglas DC-3 is widely known as the plane that changed the world, and this aircraft has always stood out among others. The DC-3, first flown in 1935, was a low-wing twin-engine monoplane that was the world’s first…
