New online maintenance courses introduced
Curriculum of Part 147 schools training students to become aviation maintenance technicians.

Pilot hits parked airplane while taxiing
The pilot's failure to maintain clearance from a parked airplane during taxi operations at night.

Picture of the Day: A breakfast ritual
Sam Presley submitted this photo taken by Alan Ainley and note: "A little formation flying to Morrelton, Arkansas, for our Saturday morning breakfast ritual. Got to love the Aeroprakt airplanes - Kenny Davenport's new plane. Our little breakfast group is affectionately referred to as the Breakfast Waffe."

Glass panel’s warnings worry aircraft owner
The old panel never yelled at me or gave me warnings, so to see the CHT hit 400 and then go yellow is unsettling.

Spending on drones ‘set to explode’ in U.S.
The new study projects that the U.S. will integrate drones into the National Airspace System within the next decade. Worldwide, spending on civilian drones will top $121 billion in the next 10 years, the study predicts.

Call for nominations for the Flight Instructor Hall of Fame
You can nominate your favorite CFI - or yourself - through April 1, 2022.

New owner for Phoenix FBO
Jackson Jet Center is poised to take over operations at Swift Aviation at KPHX Jan. 26, 2022.

Deviation from normal operations results in engine losing power
"It is striking to me that there were three separate events deviating from my normal habits of operation: Inspect fuel immediately after fueling, do not re-start a pre-flight in the middle, never take off without dipping all four fillers. Had I conformed to my normal habits on any of the three, this would not have happened."

Picture of the Day: Lonely plane
Gary Lanthrum submitted this photo and note: "I flew my Maule MX7-180C to the Alvord Desert to camp under the stars. After I arrived, a storm front moved in and I spent two nights in high winds, rain, and snow. During the day it would improve so I stayed two nights hoping the daytime improvements would last. There is no cell phone coverage here, so I couldn't get weather updates. Despite the lousy weather, it is incredibly beautiful and hauntingly quiet here."

Affordable aviation: Can you find an aircraft that meets your budget?
Can you really find an affordable aircraft? And where's the best place to find one? Our LSA expert Dan Johnson says the answers to both of those questions are "yes," and he gives you several examples of affordable flying machines to check out.

IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP - Rod Machado

'Hey Rod, tomorrow I'm taking my little airplane out to see what it can do. I'll see ya later...'
Those were the last words I ever heard my best friend speak. I never saw him again. The next day, his newly-assembled ultralight airplane disassembled in flight, for reasons suspected but officially unknown. READ THE BLOG ARTICLE!

The Forgotten Mechanic - Rod Machado

Here's today's riddle: Name something that all pilots need and use all the time, often don't know by name, and depend on completely for the safety of every flight. The answer isn't obvious, and neither is this person, who frequently remains totally hidden at your local flying school or airport. Need a clue? How about tools, grease and safety wire? I'm speaking of your local aviation mechanic.

Weber's Law - Rod Machado

If you closed your eyes, held out a cup, and asked someone to gently pour water in it, how much liquid would need to be added before you noticed a change in weight? One drop? Probably not.

Rod Machado's 40-Hour Private Pilot ELearning Ground School - Rod Machado

Thinking about learning to fly? Do you want to fly for a living? Would you like to refresh your knowledge for your flight review? If so, then the place to start is with Rod Machado's new 40-hour+ private pilot eLearning ground school. This eLearning course prepares you to take the private pilot knowledge exam and provides the foundation of knowledge needed to make your flight training a more enjoyable experience.

It's a Long Way Down, isn't it? - Rod Machado

Psst! Psst! Come here. Come a little bit closer. I've got something I want to ask you, and I don't want anyone else to hear. Are you afraid of heights? It's probably embarrassing to admit it, but if you're like most other pilots, the answer is Yes.

MORE

Pilots, Poets and Psychologists - Rod Machado

Mention the word poetry to a pilot and he'll act like he's in a hotel fire. He'll think: get low, get down, get out. Admittedly, even I get the heebie-jeebies at the mere mention of haiku (that's Japanese poetry, not the sound of someone sneezing). But poetry is more than cute rhymes with tinkered words. It's an alternate means of learning some of aviation psychology's most important lessons.

MORE

The Prevalence Error - Why We Look But Do Not See - Rod Machado

Recently, I was having a difficult time seeing things that were in plain view. I was even thinking about visiting the Our Lady of Fatima Optometry Center, where their motto is, "If we can't correct your vision, at least you can have one."

MORE

Runway Safety Madness - Tonque N' Cheek - Rod Machado

Nobody moves, nobody gets hurt. That's my new strategy for preventing runway incursions. It's a reasonable plan, given that these events have actually increased since the FAA began seriously collecting statistics on the issue. That's right. Despite the implementation of new rules and airport signage, incursions continue to increase year after year (about a 25% increase since 2013). If I were superstitious I might suggest we stop doing things to reduce runway incursions so that their numbers will decrease to some previous level. Unfortunately the "Don't look at it and it will go away" trick probably won't work here.

MORE

The Stall Horn Fallacy of Stall Prevention - Rod Machado

News flash! The Mona Lisa's eyebrows are missing. That's right. Gone! Some say they were scrubbed off during an early restoration. I suspect they were vaporized when Leonardo had Mona over for a pre-portrait barbecue and he took excessive liberty with the lighter fluid. While I didn't attend a BBQ, my eyebrows are also missing. At least they appeared to disappear as they rose above my forehead in surprise at the FAA's and ACS committee's dumbing-down of standards for commercial pilot certification.

MORE

Be Here Now! - Rod Machado

Over the years, I've seen my grandfather do a number of strange things. One time, while watching football on TV, he sat there yelling at the players. I couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, they can't hear you." He replied, "Oh yeah, that's right, they got their helmets on."

MORE

The Middle-Aged Aviator - Rod Machado

Over the years, I've heard many stories about middle-aged pilots (45-65 years) who gave up flying due to a sudden onset of anxiety. Apparently this wasn't induced by any specific aviation trauma nor inspired by the relatively small and perfectly normal decline of reflexes and mental agility experienced by most middle aged pilots. What in the world might spook a 50-ish pilot into abandoning something he obviously once loved to do?

MORE

Suburi Training - How to Get the Most Out of a Flight Simulator - Rod Machado

The 1984 movie The Karate Kid revealed a rare pedagogical truth of immense value to flight instructors. The movie centers around Daniel, who volunteers to polish the car and sand the deck of his neighbor Mr. Miyagi (a martial arts master).
