helped with me. We were off the runway but still over it, we now were over the water at one hundred feet. We were climbing fast and on our way up to 30 thousand feet, we were climbing over New York city. As of now it was just a normal cold day takeoff. The buildings were flying buy quick and I could see the hudson river in the distance. I thought how cold the water could be down in the river, little did I Know that I would be in that water. It was 3:26 we were climbing out of one…
When writing, they tend to be extremely descriptive in feeling, action words. “For example, a pilot might script as follows: 'I feel the friction as I push the throttle forward to start my takeoff run. The controls start to feel more responsive as I check the airspeed, oil pressure and temperature. At takeoff speed, I pull back slightly, and I feel the vibrations of the wheels stop as the plane leaves the ground. After a few moments, I reach down and set the gear selector to up. I feel the…
The Sky Searcher has the plane feature to make travel more affordable and easy. When in the vehicle is in “plane mode”, fuel efficiency is maximized because of the terrific aerodynamic design. The plane mode has some additional features: Automatic takeoff and landing, stall prevention, ejection seats, and aviation instrumentation. The Sky Searcher is the perfect vehicle for me because I can do fun things like travel around the world and then go speeding around the town without renting a…
“Delta 1541, Cleared for takeoff.” These are the words every aviation enthusiast wants to hear. The ability to soar into the sky at lightning fast speeds is an incredible feat. To me aviation is not just a hobby, but instead aviation has been what I have dedicated my life to. Aviation has been both a passion and an interest of mine for the better half of 12 years. Stemming from these enthusiasms is how my personality has formed and has molded into the person I am today. My premier exposure to…
Trip To Africa When my dad officially confirmed that we were going to Senegal, Africa, I immediately started to practice my French. Everyday I school I spoke in French, to my teachers, friends and dad. I figured if I spoke it more often, I would be able to speak more fluently and get a response in French which would help my understanding. Four weeks later I began packing. Excitement had taken control of my body. I ran back and folding and tossing my clothes right into my suitcase. “Make sure…
developed through community involvement to attempt to satisfy the local’s needs. Being situated just off the Puget Sound, Sea-Tac’s noise abatement procedures take advantage of geographical conditions shown in the images above by limiting the hours that takeoffs and landings happen over populated areas and utilizes open water routes as much as possible until an acceptable altitude is reached before heading back over land. While certain inspections or maintenance practices require an engines on…
The Last Flight, by Amelia Earhart, was an inspiring story of Earhart’s life and final moments. Amelia grew her love for airplanes from a young age. Her first recollection of seeing a plane was at the Iowa State Fair. She was not very interested at the time, but her love grew. She recognized her love for flying while at a show. The planes went up into the air and did trick after trick. They even swooped down towards the crowd sending everyone running. But not Amelia; she sat in aww watching the…
Thesis: Pan Am flight 103 was one of the first commercial aircraft to be attacked by terrorists using an improvised explosive device (IED) containing Semtex, a plastic explosive, and a timing device hidden in checked luggage. FAA regulations of screening checked bags with X-ray technology were ignored, allowing the IED device on board with checked luggage in the cargo hold. The suspects, who were Libyan intelligence agents and employed by Libyan Arab Airlines in Malta, slipped the suitcase with…
The Wright Design The Wright Brothers didn't invent the design of the airplane. In fact, their entire plane was based on how birds fly. They made the aircraft so it would catch some heavy winds that blew. Plus, they needed light weight materials so the plane wouldn't fall from the sky. But they did tweak it so it could be controlled. That's where the engine and propellers come in. They launch the craft's thrust. Their plane has a very unique design. Nevertheless,their plane was…
