If I could choose any career that I wanted to be when I grow up I would like to be a trashman. I would also like to be a stunt plane driver. One more thing I would like to do is be a professional wingsuit flyer. It would be a lot of fun to do these things. I think it would be a lot of fun to be a trashman. I have always to ride around holding on to the back of a truck. It would be fun to go around saying,” skrrrrrrrt skrrrrt” to everyone that I pass. I would always be outside being active and…

"Get the nose up, woman!" The flight examiner screeches in my ear. As I yank back on the yoke, I wonder did he just say that? There's no way. I must have misheard. "Girl, are you forgetting something? Take the carb heat out!" Okay. I definitely didn't hear wrong. For the next hour, I struggle to keep my cool as the examiner screams at me. I perform the requested maneuvers and try to drown out his excessive noise. From the moment I walked into his office, I knew this would be a difficult few…

1) For this assignment, I watched the first episode of Narcos, a Netflix series based on Pablo Escobar, the drug tycoon of Colombia, with the sound turned off. In the first ten minutes, I could see a plane flying over the capital city Bogota. Three telephone tappers were trying to get connected with a phone call of a drug lord. They were wearing casual dress. They were constantly moving their headphones which was likely to show that they were not able to hear the conversation properly. They…

cleared to take off on runway 28.” "Roger, we are rolling on runway 28, Cherokee 952.” I always wanted to fly since I was young. When I was seventeen, I got myself into the world of flight. Stepping into aviation needed a lot of preparation, and I spent a long and dedicated year to prepare myself. I applied to a flight school after I immigrated to America; however, I was rejected because of my language ability and physical fitness. In the following year, I worked hard on English in school,…

“Ladies and gentlemen, please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts, we will be departing shortly.” I find myself clutching my seat's armrests as the plane begins to move down the runway. I await the turbulence signaling the plane’s flight, my eyes glued to the window on my left, witnessing the ground getting further and further away. The thrill finally comes, the adrenaline coursing through my body as the plane takes off into the sky, and soon my surroundings are nothing but clouds, pure…

On February 12, 2009, Colgan Air Flight 3407 experienced a stall warning during its final approach into Buffalo International Airport. The two pilots responded by pitching up the airplane without applying maximum engine power. This mishandling of stall warning induced the airplane to stall. The airplane crashed into a residential area, killing 49 persons on board and 1 on the ground. The airplane that crashed in this accident was a Bombardier Aerospace Q400. The Q400 is a twin-engine airliner…

The ability to fly has been available for many generations. The first flight by man was by Wilbur and Orville Wright. Even though it only lasted for a few seconds, flight has made life easier. Now, airplanes can transport people and goods over large bodies of water and land, and even make war easier (and harder) to win. With flight, lives have been changed, and the four forces, angle of attack, Bernoulli's Principle, and lift come to work when an airplane flies! There are four forces that…

different pioneers that have contributed in some way to our present day knowledge of aviation. The two people that I think contributed the most to aviation are the Wright brothers. They were able to be the first successful people to create a controlled flight of a power driven airplane. This completely changed the game in aviation. It taught others new and safer techniques on how to fly. During this time they were at the top in aviation. They both became very successful in their business…

about the history of it and Puerto Rico, and finally, we finished off our day in San Juan looking out into the crystal clear ocean at a beautiful sunset. After that, we headed back to the hotel, I had about 2 hours left before having to leave for my flight. Consequently, we decided to just chill out talk and play some card games, and we had a great time. Finally that time had come, in which we had to part ways, it was very emotional because I had gotten really close to my cousins and I knew…

Ever since I was just a youngster I have always had a fascination with airplanes. When I took my first trip on an airplane I was really uneasy about it. Then they brought me into the cockpit and let me see all the instruments and we talked about how planes worked. My fears all turned into fascinations and I realized how relaxing being in the air really was. After that I was almost sure that I wanted to get involved with planes. I found out about a program that could help me become more involved…
