Few industries have been left untouched by artificial intelligence (AI). Even heavily regulated sectors like aviation are getting to grips with the opportunities created by the deployment of machine learning models to solve complex optimization problems. Navigating an increasingly crowded airspace, in which the number of drones, urban air mobility vehicles and a whole range of other aircraft and flying objects is only expected to increase, is one of these challenges.

A Day in the Life of a Pilot For many passengers, air travel is a routine experience – boarding a plane, settling into a seat, and trusting that the air craft will safely reach its destination. But behind the smooth operation of every flight is a carefully organized routine carried out by pilots. Pre-Flight Routine A pilot’s day begins long before take-off.

Pilots constantly watch out of the cockpit windows, and air traffic control monitors traffic in the airspace. But what happens if the pilots can’t see incoming traffic and ATC somehow misses a potential conflict? When all else fails, TCAS will alert you and guide you to safety. We’ll explain what it is, how it works, and how it can help keep your aircraft safe.

It was a warm summer afternoon in Prescott, Arizona. A pilot friend and I decided to fly my 1976 Cardinal over to Sedona Airport (KZEZ) for a late lunch. The Cardinal and I were fairly new to the area, but I respected its performance limitations and was careful to account for the elevation and temperature and the density altitude it would surely bring.

Investigators released the final report on the January 2024 Alaska Airlines door plug incident Thursday, concluding that the in-flight separation of the left mid-exit door plug was the result of Boeing’s failure to follow proper manufacturing procedures.

The accident, involving Alaska Airlines Flight 1282, a Boeing 737-9, led to rapid depressurization while climbing out of Portland, Oregon.

One of the joys of flight is the ability to maneuver vertically, rather than be restricted to the two-dimensional playground of earthly pursuits. This is new territory for beginning pilots, who must be taught the right—and wrong—ways to manage ascent and descent. As with all airplane maneuvering, proper altitude changes are based on the foundational formula “power plus attitude equals performance.

Concorde was not just another airliner. It flew at the speed of sound, crossed the Atlantic in under three and a half hours, and cruised at altitudes so high that some passengers reported seeing the curvature of the Earth. Every element of the Anglo-French aircraft was shaped by its need to perform at supersonic speeds. The sharp delta wing, slim fuselage, and four afterburning engines made it unlike anything flying in commercial service then, or now.
