Pilots use radios as part of our everyday communications with ATC, engineers and, if you think about it, passengers via the PA system. As a result, knowing how to use this medium is essential to get our message across and ensuring the safety of the flight. This is how we do it. Engl...
The majority of an airline pilot's flight time is spent in-cruise. Particularly if a pilot flies awidebodyaircraft used for long-haul operations, most flight time is spent in a lower workload environment with the wings level and autopilot engaged. How do pilots pass the hours? Let's talk ...
Arguments for raising the mandatory retirement age for pilots in the U.S. have been going around for years.

The note that there’s intense flight training here explains why. There are probably so many student pilots in R22 helicopters that a local procedure was established. Note as well that there are no early turns off the upwind/departure leg or downwind leg for fixed-wing aircraft, presumably to...
pilots are responsible for the safe operation of the aircraft during all phases of flight. They conduct pre-flight briefings with the crew, including co-pilots and flight attendants, and ensure that all safety procedures and checklists are followed. Pilots handle the takeoff, climb, cruise, desce...

To make real-time weather decisions, pilots have something on board the aircraft to help us in the moment: the weather radar.
and what is causing the crash. If the pilot is struggling for control, the spinning and maneuvering can cause passengers tolose consciousness. However, if the pilot has control and is preparing for a "controlled crash," pilots generallytell passengers to brace for impact, or share the prot...
as they collide, create even larger waves and currents. Some pilots use a tracker or forecasting tool. These do not tell where there will be turbulence. Instead, they suggest where conditions exist for turbulence to occur. It is nearly impossible to plan for it, so pilots train to be ready...
