The Pratt/Whitney and the Rolls-Royce engines are TURBO-FAN designs, meaning that a relatively small core jet turbine is turning a 7-foot (2-m) shrouded fan. The turbine blade core in the photograph (minus the blades) fits the dimensions of such an engine. The next time you go to the airport, t...

Dear Sir,

The flight recorder on the 737 can only be turned off by having the engines off and the parking brake set on the ground. Or, it can be turned off by pulling the CB. It is against most airline policy and FAA regulations to turn the FDR off intentionally, unless an emerg...

The real problem is that the Autopilot could not be completely disengaged, allowing the First Officer to take immediate control of the A310. The A310 has had similar incidents of unintentional stalls with MALEV Hungarian Airlines and Lufthansa. Not the fault of the Russians. They have never cr...

The 737 crews have remedied this by briefing the action items when the Cabin Altitude/Configuration Warning horn goes off. Any time it sounds in flight, the first action is to put on the Oxygen masks, establish communications, put the Pressurization system to MANUAL, and close the outflow valve....

Very talented musician, among his many other talents! And handsome too!

I am learning both Arabic and Hebrew. Actually because the languages are related to each other it is not so difficult. It's especially easy to pay attention with such a beautiful professor! It is impossible to be distracted! :D !!

Very nice video! I had the pleasure of flying on KAL, CAL and JAL and PAL too. I hear Malaysian and Vietnam are excellent too! Don't forget PAL - you're missing the best one, buddy!

If it's not PINAY, I don't want it! Does PAL hire only Filipino pilots?

Very good footage of the KLM MD-11 in UIO and SXM!

The only other countries that build and fly airplanes well are Canada, the USA, Russia and France. And of course, Germany who gave us our modern technology such as hemi-powered engines and perfected the Jet Engine from the British invention. With 19000 airports and 300,000+ pilots in t...

Anyone flying in Peru's airspace has to respect the local ATC rules of operation. If Peru requests a flight plan, then the crew of the C172 should have filed one! Also, flying any airplane should monitor 121.5 VHF and obey the instructions of the AF. The same thing would have happened in the U...

I wish these girls would get out of the way so I can see your airplane!

We all know the Bush Pilots are the best of the best. If you do get an airline job, you can save up some money and afford to fly seaplanes on your layovers in places like, say, Seattle. I highly recommend Seattle Seaplanes 206-329-9638. Ask for Kit - a great instructor!

That was good footage of a DHC-3 twin otter on floats. Who cares what you think about religion. You don't have to believe in anything: it's your own freedom to do so or not. Anyway, you missed a beautiful ride in a "Twotter" by not visiting the Maldives!

Go Portugal !! Very good display of airmanship, especially with the Airbus A310! It's amazing how tight that airplane can turn at low level. If Airline pilots in the USA attempted such an airshow with airline equipment, the Nazis at the FAA would have revoked their licenses! GO EU! We can on...

The thrust reversers cannot be deployed in flight, as they are wired to the "squat switch" on the nose gear. Thus, the reversers can only open when either the nosegear is on the ground, or if the crew pulls the "weight-on-wheels" circuit breaker, which is not a standard procedure. What is truly...

The MD-80 Series has two motors that rotate a vertical jackscrew, which in turn moves the leading edge of the horizontal stabilizer up or down. The purpose of this is to trim the stabilizer (either manually or automatically) for flight. On this particular flight, the mechanism malfunctioned, mak...

Gentlemen: Nice music to accompany an otherwise very tragic scene of mass murder. If you observe the smoke billowing from the side of the WTC the airplane impacted, you can see the wake vortices 5-15 sec. after the impact. The most wake is created by the induced drag created when the airplane ...

Dude! I just landed the AirTran 737NG at KEYW last week and you did a hell of a better job than I did! Your SIM looks every bit as realistic as the Boeing SIM. Who do you fly for? Southwest is hiring in 2011! So is Delta, if you don't already work at these carriers! You should put in for it. ...

The SIM allows the pilot to train for scenarios that are dangerous to practice in the real helicopter. The "real" R-22 that is used in this FLYIT SIM has no engine, transmission, etc, and does not burn avgas. The average rental for a R-22 helicopter is USD 250.00 plus $60 or so for the instruct...

Wow, a completely different meaning from the Spanish Version which says "I will fly to you...the end of my journey is you" Check out "Por ti Volare."
