Bernoulian Lift is still taught as the main form of lift now-a-days, though Newtonian lift (like you described) is becoming more recognized. Some people say both are happening at the same time,...

We had an airport near here get it's runway numbers adjusted a few years back due to magnetic shift.
On this airport diagram you can see the FAA shows an average rate of change of 0.1 degrees in...

Keep in mind the following is supposition and conjecture based on some knowledge of general aircraft systems, and I may be wrong about the particulars of this aircraft as I am not familiar with it.

here's the flight track for the aircraft. It says estimated because Flight Aware's software doesn't assume a crash if radar is lost.

I thought it was quite good as well.

I doubt they care how they look. What matters is how SHE looks. Besides, it's meant to impress the kind of people who would be impressed by something like that.

Probably due to the liftoff. The jet pack guy uses a helicopter or aircraft to get airborne. The USAF probably wants to get airborne unassisted. Because he is only using fuel to maintain thrust, and...

I have a bunch of friends at Eagle. It sounds like there won't be job cuts for them, but who knows what the future holds.

The title of the video says "race" which is a bit of a misnomer. Fly along side of would be more accurate. Still pretty cool though. Also if you're in the market for an L-39 Albatross like in the...

If you ever have any questions feel free to ask. There are many levels of Aviation Enthusiast here, so somebody should be able to help.

Sure we still can. They don't call it the cockpit for nothing.

Not really, remember there are dual controls so the Flight Instructor is following along with every control input she makes. And she may do the cross country planning, but the flight instructor is...

Video of an A330 doing a slow pass. Due to high winds it appears to nearly hover.

Kids these day are getting smarter and smarter, yet also dumber and dumber at the same time. I admire the inventiveness, but loathe the desperation. Still as Queen Victoria used to say "One up the...

Jessice Dubroff? iirc she died after taking off into bad weather with an overloaded aircraft.

ANA 787 has a landing gear failure.

No biggie. You only need them...

It isn't. The total force is the same, except with two cars there are twice as many objects to absorb the impact (assuming the wall doesn't give in the single car scenario). The body is also slowing...

Are you using the Garmin 1000, Garmin 530 (maybe 430), or some other type of GPS?
What type of approach are you on when you switch to approach mode? If you are still enroute and not on a final...

I've got nearly 2000 hours of flight and my landings on MS FS are always bouncy. Without actually being there I find it difficult to judge my height properly.

What information did you need?

At my company we pay for our own uniforms. It isn't too bad you can get cheap pilot shirts for 15$ each. Had to pay for my epaulettes (shoulder stripes) that was 10$ or so. Pants, socks and shoes are...

It's one of them. They use JATO's for TO. According to Wikipedia the rocket assisted landing project was cancelled due to the problems John's video showed.

I think the accident report concluded that iced-over pitot tubes had caused faulty airspeed indications.

Yes it's true. In order for the wings to create lift they need a smooth flow of air over them. If they aren't creating lift due to a stall, then trying to pitch up will only make the plane stall...

Not necessarily. The only way the nose would be lighter would be if the aircraft was trimmed for that specific pitch angle, in which case the truck would not have been needed anyways. In fact, in...

This too.

On a good portion of my flights (especially when I'm working the radios on a night flight) I'm little more than a passenger except for a few minutes after TO and before landing. As much as I like...

1.) Enjoy it. It's too much work and too much money if you aren't.
2.)Don't worry about doing everything perfectly. Success in flight training is measured in baby-steps. As long as you make some...

Agrees.

IIRC autorotation requires lots of altitude and a high forward airspeed. 2 things helicopter flights don't usually have because if you wanted to go high and fast, you'd be in an airplane.

Just curious as to why you listed the RO license?
I wonder if Sport and Recreational certs would still be issued if we began using aircraft more.

I think it's either a Dassault Mirage or a Dassault Rafale. The images name suggests it's a mirage. The key is the blocky portion on the upper portion of the vertical stabilizer, the Dassaults have...

I've flown into Burke Lakefront, but never Hopkins Intl.

A few years ago a BA 747 departing LAX for Heathrow lost an engine shortly after takeoff. The elected to continue to London on 3 engines.

Yup, it's quite clear in that picture. I did notice though that the attitude gyro is not a Sperry gyro.

Based on the autopsy I doubt he did it after the crash. IIRC he had broken all of his ribs, his aorta was severed, his brain stem was severed and his sternum was crushed into his chest. Sounds like...

It looks to be in a relatively open area of the mess and not deformed enough to be crushed. I suppose it's possible, but I'm doubtful.

To me it looks too small to be a face.

When the Cirrus first came out it had issues with the door latch popping open. I can't count how many times I've had it pop open on takeoff.
