The Art of Takeoffs and Landing

Every flight starts with a takeoff and ends with a landing, yet many pilots lack the fundamentals to do them consistently because they weren't properly taught, or they haven't practiced enough to be proficient. That's where this course comes in. If you use it to pick up just one useful takeoff or landing technique, it will be worthwhile because you will use the technique over and over.

AOPA Live This Week - AOPALive

Two classic aquatic twins, each meticulously restored, showed up ready to race in our fly-off pitting a Grumman G-44 Widgeon against a Piaggio P.136 Gull in a battle for bragging rights. You may have seen panels packed with bells and whistles, but have you seen a Cessna Skylane sporting just about everything in Garmin's catalog? Pilots from across the Southwest joined the thirty-seventh Navajo Nation Christmas Airlift, delivering 12,000 pounds of blankets, clothing, and supplies to a remote region that struggled with poverty even before the coronavirus pandemic made matters worse.

Fly for a Cure campaign wraps up
The annual campaign concluded with a $2,400 donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.

Picture of the Day: His first airplane ride
Bob Bement submitted this photo and note: "This little guy just loves airplanes. His dad says that he always wants to come out and see the airplanes. They live close to the airport and when he hears one start up he wants to come and see it. When I found out about the 3 year old with a passion for airplanes, I asked them to go for a ride in an airplane. I think he loved it, even if he had trouble seeing out, even sitting on a booster seat. I love to give first flights."

Knocking off the rust
Recurrent training can help you knock off the rust after a period of not flying, such as the long winter months or when life gets in the way of getting out to the airport. But it can also help you tackle those maneuvers that make you uncomfortable, making you a better - and safer - pilot.

12 Days of Drones
The new campaign from the FAA is designed to educate the public about the rules, regulations, and best practices for flying a drone.

Art in the sky
The 2022 Sherwin-Williams aerospace calendar features a variety of general aviation aircraft, including the Cirrus SR-22, Mooney M20, Icon A5, Bonanza, and a Piper Turbo Seminole.

New FBO, online aircraft auctions land at KFFZ
The new FBO is expected to begin offering services in 2022.

CFIs anger hangar owner
Five days later we start hearing from other pilots how "pissed off" a hangar owner is that we used the taxi lane in front of their hangar adjacent to the taxi lane.

Picture of the Day: Alaska Fall Sunset on the shores of Cook Inlet
Tom Rollman submitted this photo and note: "This is my 1955 170B tied down on our family's private strip on the east side of Cook Inlet north of Nikiski, Alaska. The strip is just above the tide line and below the bluff. It provides access to our cabins via an hour flight from Anchorage vs. the old five hour drive. This picture was taken during a moose hunting trip.

Blue skies for The Great Colorado Air Show
After far too long a wait, the Great Colorado Air Show returned with a roar, headlined by the Blue Angels.

New flying club in the works at KLEE
The new flying club, a spin-off from EAA Chapter 534 at Leesburg International Airport in Florida, will start with a Cessna 150.

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.

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.

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).
