I am studying to take a test on my airclub about the 152 SOP and the flight procedures, i have read the whole thing and took notes on the most important procedures but they also gave me access to the original C152 and A152 manuals (2 for the C152s and 1 for the Aerobat) however they are almost 300 pages each, what do i actually need to look for and remember so i dont go through all 900 pages considering i read the SOP, flight standard procedures manual and maneuvers manual?

I just got accepted into a College in FL for Aviation. I can get all types of ratings and licenses but the main question I have is that I'm wondering what career I should go into. I was really hoping to go into the USCG for SAR but I feel like I'll be pressured into going commercial for some reason.

I have heard commercial is VERY stressful (not that flying isn't), but more so than private and whatnot.

Any suggestions?

Heading outta Roma (QLD) in a SAAB 340

What are good jobs at an airport (for example) for those who like planespotting? Something that would allow you to do that alongside your job?

Forgive me, I haven't flown for 20+ yrs, so my brain might be a tad fuzzy on the regs.

Assume that I own my plane, a slowtation 171. A buddy and me want to go for a flight from ABC to XYZ to go watch a football game.

Scenario 1) If we both decide to split the cost, no problem. Essentially private pilot's license.

Scenario 2) If he comes up to me and says he will pay for the cost of the flight, I'm still okay with my commercial license.

Scenario 3) If I go out asking to find a buddy that I'll take him to XYZ for a set price thats where I could be in violation.

Scenario 4) I regularly commute between ABC and XYZ, my buddy finds out about this and offers to pitch in whenever he needs to hop a ride between ABC and XYZ. Sometimes more than 50%.

Scenario 5) my buddy knows scenario 4, and he'll pay double to take him right now.

Scenario 6) I'm tired of dealing with the whim wham of my buddy and I tell him next time I fly him it's going to be $xxx/ per flight.

Which, if any of these are legal?? I kinda remember some of these scenarios back when I was getting my commercial, but I've lost my FARAIM, and I got into a debate with said buddy tonight about if I could take him somewhere... And there was whiskey involved so... Am I remembering this correctly or am I totally off base?

We know that a flight attendant used an oxygen tank to remain conscious until fuel exhaustion occurred. This would’ve likely been 2.5 hours after reaching an altitude sufficient for hypoxia to occur in minutes. I’m wondering what was happening for those 2+ hours? Lots of time trying to help people stay conscious and gain access to the cockpit maybe? The flight attendant apparently also held a UK commercial license. No disrespect to the dead but I’m surprised a CPL couldn’t figure out how to squawk 7700 and tune the radio to 121.5 and try to talk to somebody. Overall a puzzling accident but the flight attendant died a hero, banking the aircraft towards an uninhabited area as the engines lost power

My dad is 84, and always finds transatlantic travel exhausting. I suggested he try the 787 because of the higher cabin pressure. My questions:

For seasoned travellers, and even pilots, is it really effective at improving comfort or mitigating jetlag?

I would have enjoyed it, but I never learned to read.

I would assume a vacuum would be quieter, but other than that i cant think of anything

So I have a question.

There’s spotlights on top of a bar in Green Bay, WI that go back and forth through the sky to attract customers. Does that affect the pilots trying to land on runway 24 & 36? Would the bar need some type of permit to have those lights or do they have an agreement with Austin Straubel Int’l ap.

Even just flying in the vicinity does it affect pilots. If anyone lives in GB could you please elaborate if I’m missing something.

If you took the original Concorde design spec and designed a new aircraft to meet that spec but using things like modern engines, modern composite materials, all the clever fly-by-wire dynamic stability and so on, I'm guessing it would be more efficient and possibly even cost-effective to run.

Has anyone ever really thought about this and run the numbers? Or even just picked a "best guess" off the wall?

Inaugural flight for Air Greenland to its new hub in the capital Nuuk (GOH). Previous hub was Kangerlussuaq (SFJ). This is an Airbus A300-800 Neo OY-GKN

Tuukaaq means harpoon in Greenlandic, reflecting Greenland’s cultural heritage. The aircraft was introduced in December 2023 and the flag carrier’s new chapter is a huge source of national pride.

28 November was the first day they flew from Denmark to Nuuk so locals and dignitaries watched the approach, as seen in the photo.

It seems like with small planes the tradeoff is you either get twin engines or a reasonable price, amount of range, speed, room, and a plane parachute. Is this accurate or is the added weight of another engine usually a big compromise?

Well ya’ll, I’ve finally decided to commit to flight school. I did cybersecurity for a semester and decided very quickly a desk job is not what I want. I got my first class medical and flight training starts this month!! Super stoked to start my flight career and if anyone has any advice for me please let me know! Thanks everyone!

Hello! I wanted to know if anybody has any insight about San Francesco D’Assisi airport as a future Ryanair base. It’s growing bigger and just reached 3m passengers ! hope anybody has any insight or knows where or to who I can ask

Hello! Sorry if it's the wrong sub

A friend of mine is very interested in certain things about flying such as how planes avoid the Tibetan plateau, the affects of the wind over the Atlantic ocean etc. Is there a book on how all these geographic factors alter flying routes/paths?

Thanks in advance!
