Flight training

Cirrus vs Cessna Flying a Cessna is great experience. Flying a Cirrus is a spectacular experience. Although both of these are aircrafts that do the same thing, they are very different. Technology has come a long way in aviation and especially in the new 2017 cirrus. Comparing to the 1970’s Cessna’s which is the common aircrafts flown right now, there has been a huge noticeable difference in design and innovation. One of many differences in the Cirrus compared to the Cessna, is the avionics.…

The soft, green grass was sprinkled with shards of mirrored glass; the mirror had been through so much pressure after going through the force field three times. Kate could hear it shatter into a billion pieces when Mr. Jacks and his bulldog passed through the force field. Mr. Jacks looked relieved as if he were a bird let free and his bulldog just looked straight up tired. Kate started to feel her head pound because the adrenaline shooting through her body started to fizzle out and she hadn’t…

On December second just a week ago, our class was lucky enough to have David Terry come to Utah State and hold a lecture for the students. His job is certainly not any ordinary job. He is lucky enough to get to fly drones around different landscapes most days! But his job is certainly not just fun n ' games! It is expensive and requires a lot of knowledge, and hard work it is not simply just flying a drone. You are possibly asking yourself what in the world does this man do for a living? What…

may appear attractive but hard work gives satisfaction” – Amed Frank. “The soul of the sluggard craves andgetsnothing” – The Bible 2. WAITING FOR THE PERFECT TIME The best way to get something done is to begin. Nothing keeps our dreams from taking flight like procrastination. We often put off…

her cousin Mack. Mack never comes back, leaving Allie to reevaluate the promise she has with her cousin. Allie now has a family with children and a husband and wonders if they possibly know how to fly as well. One day, Allie finally decides to take flight once more and break the promise between Mack and her. The experience of flying again left her in awe, wanting to tell her family, but she is not able to because…

On May 25, 1979 a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 wide body aircraft operated by American Airlines as Flight 191 was scheduled to fly an afternoon flight to Los Angeles International Airport from Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport carrying 258 passengers and 13 crewmembers. During the aircraft takeoff roll on runway 32 R at O’Hare International Airport, the engine #1 fell off the left wing. Initially, the aircraft climbed away from the runway in a wings level attitude, but shortly after, the DC-10…

demanded that we visit the museum at least one time. One of my favorite attractions at the museum was their Flight Simulator. Everytime we went to the museum, going on their Flight Simulator was the first and last attraction I attended. It was from this experience that I realized that I had a real passion towards aviation and eventually convinced my parents to buy me my own Flight…

could end in a catastrophe. An upcoming and possible solution to the issue could be NextGen Network Enabled Weather (NNEW).NNEW works by providing an integrated weather picture to pilots predicting possible weather patterns likely to show up in their flight. In addition, it would relay the…

(History of Flight Medicine) Physicians routinely made trips in hot air ballons to make observations of the effects of flight on the human body. “Exposures to higher and higher altitudes for longer and longer durations slowly increased understanding (sometimes with disastrous consequences) of medical conditions such as hypoxia, decompression sickness, hypothermia, frostbite, and cosmic radiation exposure.” (History of Flight Medicine) While these early tests were conducted…

factors that influenced the flight and speed of the plane. One factor that greatly affected the flight and speed of the plane was the design/wing surface area of the plane. The surface area of the wings of the plane needed to be firm and stable in order for the plane to have lift force. Another factor that affected the flight and speed of the plane was throw angle. The throw angle should be around 30 to 45 degrees. Another factor that affected the speed and the flight of the plane was throw…
