The first plane that Ronald Reagan is landing at the beginning is a Curtiss P-40 Kittyhawk. The previous model to the legendary North American P-51. The planes at the end are Grumman F6 Hellcats… Enjoy

A crash from the right hand side seat and what density altitude means

Image
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVM3RRd1vf0&feature=player_embedded Glenn Pew for AVweb.com. Video of a plane crash as it was experienced from the right seat, inside the cockpit. The accident took place on Saturday June 30, 2012 near Bruce Meadows airstrip, not far from Stanley, Idaho. At the time of this report, information was preliminary and subject to change, but some had been collected by the NTSB. The aircraft is a Stinson model 108-3, a 165 horsepower single-engine high-wing propeller-driven plane capable of carrying four, plus full fuel, and light baggage. All four occupants survived the crash with the pilot suffering the worst injury. The cause of the crash is yet undetermined, but an aircraft's performance is dependent, among other things, on the density of the air it moves through. The pilot appears to have faced "high density altitude" conditions which degrade an aircraft's takeoff and climb performance. 

Airplane lightning

Reynolds number

Image
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmjFdBxbV08 In fluid mechanics, the Reynolds number (Re) is a dimensionless number that gives a measure of the ratio of inertial forces to viscous forces for given flow conditions. The Reynolds number is an important parameter that describes whether flow conditions lead to laminar or turbulent flow. Laminar flow occurs when a fluid flows in parallel layers, with no disruption in the layers. Turbulent flow is a flow regime characterized by chaotic property changes. Real world systems are designed using models to simulate actual flow and analyze these characteristics.

9/11 FAA Closure of Us Airspace

Image
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bo1ZtpKqlYw This animation was created by NASA using FAA air traffic control data from September 11, 2001. It shows the rapid grounding of air traffic across the US, and redirection of incoming international traffic, in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Time is at lower left, number of planes in the air lower right. At 9:06am, FAA issued a ground stop to all traffic not yet departed that would encounter NY airspace ["tier one"- NY, DC, Boston, Cleveland] . A series of rapid decisions followed, including redirecting inbound traffic away from NY and warning airplanes in the air of potential cockpit intrusion. At 9:45am, FAA Command Center decided to close all US airspace for the first time in history. Within a few hours, all commercial air traffic was grounded. This animation is displayed in the National Air and Space Museum's "America by Air" exhibition.

Boeing's better wings

After achieving success with the first 737 winglet, the team was challenged with finding ways to make the 737 MAX even more efficient.

https://youtu.be/woYzWZO_BvU https://youtu.be/FMagDRCpJ14 Types of Cloud - Meteorology for training Pilots The study of meteorology is important to a pilot as weather is an issue that affects not only aircraft performance but also flight safety. In this CD we will examine basic met theory enabling you to develop an understanding of the principles involved and how weather can affect your flying activities. A sound knowledge of the theories behind meteorology will help you, as a pilot, to make good decisions based on the forecasts and reports available.

I was on a route I didn’t know, and I came upon a rather imposing hill. I buckled down, focused my sights on the top, and pushed myself up the incline. As I emerged at the top of the crest, tired and out of breath, I realized that I was not at the top, but rather just partway up a much larger hill. I find that these are the hardest moments. For some, New Year's brings a promotion. For others, the promotion they'd hoped for does not come and it’s time to regroup. I’ve heard runners call this moment a “false plateau”… l

9 Things successful people do differently

Image
http://blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/09/to_succeed_forget_self-esteem.html Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren’t sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. It turns out that even brilliant, highly accomplished people are pretty lousy when it comes to understanding why they succeed or fail. The intuitive answer — that you are born predisposed to certain talents and lacking in others — is really just one small piece of the puzzle. In fact, decades of research on achievement suggests that successful people  reach their goals  not simply because of who they are, but more often because of  what they do . 1.  Get specific .  When you set yourself a goal, try to be as specific as possible. “Lose 5 pounds” is a better goal than “lose some weight,” because it gives you a clear idea of what success looks like. Knowing exactly what you want to achieve keeps you motivated until you get there. Also, think about the specific actions that
