There is no doubt that when we talk of air travel, we are perhaps talking about the safest mode of transportation. It might bring in a surprise to many, but it is true. This is because safety is always at the left, right and centre of air travel. Landing of an aeroplane is equally important as its takeoff and mid-air operation and it becomes even more sensitive at night. Normally, almost all the runways have special lighting systems providing the pilot with an idea of direction, distance and altitude. But have you ever wondered what would happen if a plane had to land on a runway without any runway lights? Is landing even possible in this case? In this blog, we will have our focus on a situation where a plane has to land on a runway without a pilot at night without runway lights. We will explore the significance of runway lights, the challenges of landing without them and the rare instances where a plane has successfully landed without runway lights, both in India as well as around the world.
In the current scenario, it is quite common to change career paths and seek new opportunities. People explore new paths at different stages of their lives, and this change is never associated with age. If one is in their 30s or 40s and wants to become a pilot , they can achieve this goal. There are several things to consider before embarking on this change. This blog will let you know how to start a pilot career in your 30s or 40s, what benefits and challenges are in store and what opportunities are there in this field.
The landing gear of an aircraft is an essential component. It helps the plane to land on the runway and take off. A pilot needs to know when to open and close the wheels of the plane. This process is followed for technical reasons and also to ensure safety, efficiency and aerodynamic performance of an aircraft. The wheels of an aircraft are in contact with the runway during takeoff and landing. The Landing gear usually consists of three or more wheels, shock absorbers, a brake system and a hydraulic or electro-mechanical retraction system. In larger aircraft, these wheels are recessed into the fuselage after takeoff to decrease aerodynamic drag and save fuel. This blog will help you learn about the details of how the process of opening and closing the wheels of an aircraft works and how aviation academies assist pilots in learning it.
If you want to take a car, bus, or truck backwards, then it can be easily done with the help of a reverse gear. If the same is to be done with an aeroplane, then does it also have a reverse gear? Auto companies provide reverse gear in vehicles so that the vehicle can be driven backwards if needed. In such a situation, reverse gear is very useful. If this weren’t the case, then the vehicle would have to be pushed backwards manually. It is common to see reverse gear in cars, buses, trucks, and other vehicles. We have talked about vehicles on the road, but do aeroplanes also have reverse gear or not? If the plane is to be taken backwards, then how will pilots do it? The plane is very large. Is it not possible to take it backwards by pushing? Do the companies that make planes provide a reverse gear? In this blog, we will try to find an answer to this question.
Pilot alertness and physical and mental state are paramount in aviation. Pilots undergo wide-ranging training and medical tests, but unexpected events can still take place during flight. One of the most problematic situations occurs when a pilot suddenly becomes incapacitated; they are incapable of performing their duties.

Considering fuel storage in an aircraft is a crucial aspect of both aviation engineering and safety. Whether it's a commercial aircraft or a fighter jet, fuel should be stored safely. But if you are thinking about where the fuel is stored in the aircraft? This blog will help you arrive at the answer to this question and provide you with additional information.
Aviation is an industry where safety holds utmost importance,not just in India but worldwide . To ensure the safety of passengers and all crew members present on the flight, the DGCA, the regulatory body for aviation activities in India, enforces strict regulations to guarantee that pilots and crew members are fit for aircraft operations, thereby ensuring passenger safety. Amongst these regulations, the ones regarding the consumption of alcohol are the most important of all, as even slight negligence in these can have appalling consequences. This blog discusses the DGCA's alcohol-related policies, examining the basis behind these regulations, their implementation and their significance in maintaining aviation safety.
At the time when one thinks of becoming a pilot or decides firmly regarding the same, various questions often spring up in the mind. One of the most common questions of all is whether I can become a pilot with glasses or not. We will give a detailed answer to this question, going forward, in this blog. Many of the aspiring commercial pilots are always confused about whether it is possible to fly if I wear glasses. What are the dangers and alternatives to becoming a Commercial Pilot ? Over 60% of people in this world are visually impaired and require the use of glasses or contact lenses. This means all these people require glasses to perfect their vision. How can this affect your probabilities of becoming a capable pilot?
Aviation is a field that has various technical aspects in store for you. Have you ever wondered how it is used to measure the distance travelled by an aircraft? It is a nautical mile. While most land-based activities depend on kilometres or miles, the aviation industry makes use of nautical miles. But what is a nautical mile and why has it become the gold standard in the sky? We will discuss this and much more in this blog.
Most multi-engine aircraft have engines underhung from the wings. The engines are placed at a distance from the aircraft's Centre of Gravity. This distance is recognized as arm length. The thrust produced by the engines acts through the CG, which acts like the pivot of a seesaw. In usual conditions, both engines produce the same thrust. Though when an engine fails, there is a thrust disparity as the dead engine no longer produces any thrust, while the functioning engine continues to do so. The moment generated by the live engine swerves the aircraft on the way to the inoperative engine. This yaw requires that the aircraft be arrested to guarantee that the aircraft does not enter a spiralling dive. To counter the unwanted yaw from the functioning engine, a force needs to be produced in the yaw axis. This comes from the tail or the vertical stabilizer. The pilots can differentiate the force created by the tail using the rudder attached to it. So, in the event of an engine failure, the pilots use their feet and press on the rudder pedal to deflect the rudder until the yaw is controlled. If the engine on the right side fails, the left rudder is applied; if it is on the left, the right rudder should be applied. In a twin-engine aircraft, the failure of an engine results in a 50% decrease in total thrust. Regarding performance, an engine failure results in a loss of approximately 70% of performance. This is because an engine failure results in drag due to control surface deflection and sideslip.
Fuel is anything that produces force by converting energy. The characteristics of petroleum and synthetic fuel generate sufficient power for flight. Commercial aircraft need incredible power to lift off the ground while carrying a load of passengers and cargo. Wide-body jets, such as the Boeing 777, have a maximum takeoff weight of 247,200 kg. The aircraft can cruise at 905 km/h, powered by the enormous GE-90 engines. The fuel used for the rotation of the heavy compressor shafts and turbine of the jet engine is Jet A1.
If aeroplanes have autopilot systems, then what is the need for pilots? The autopilot systems are extremely sophisticated and can handle the entire flight. But is it the full reality? No, the reality is much more complex. While automation has a big role to play in modern aviation, there are reasons why we cannot depend entirely on autopilot systems. Human pilots are essential to flight operations because the systems need human judgment, flexibility and oversight.
Accidents are unfortunate in any field. Aviation is not an exception to this, as accidents of different magnitudes take place here as well. One reason for the aircraft accidents and malfunctions is a bird striking the aircraft. These incidents occur frequently in the world of aviation, but the impact on an aircraft and its passengers is rather significant. A lot of you can get confused by the name, but bird strikes are not just limited to birds, but also bats and other wildlife. Bird strikes only have an immediate impact, but they can also attain fairly serious proportions in the future as well.

If you are enthusiastic about flying aircraft, then there is every chance that you have learned about simulators. Yes, simulators are instruments that can provide students with a realistic learning environment. It is wanted by every aviation academy today, but not many have it in their armoury. Many are mounted on hydraulics that imitate startling and unforeseen movement inside the cockpit. This offers students the chance to practice the diagnostic and troubleshooting procedures in realistic situations. So, students are familiar with the common process in real cockpit scenarios. Pilots Experience Various Weather Conditions Simulator training lets pilots experience flying in diverse weather conditions. The pilots are not just exposed to flying in local weather but can also acquaint themselves with flying methods in diverse flying conditions. These instruments can also recreate any weather conditions, so it is possible to practice suitable flying and landing methods, whether it’s rainy, windy, or snowy weather outside. Additionally, simulators can be an alternative to an aerial lesson. Students can continue with their lessons and progress with flying lessons. Preparing Pilots for Emergency Situations Pilots should always be prepared for any sort of emergency while training in the flight school itself. Since flight simulators have the ability to recreate several scenarios, they can offer a learning environment with similar risky circumstances without real danger. These situations can include engine glitches, electrical faults, and manoeuvre mistakes. While the suitable procedures for these situations are by now outlined in their flight manuals, students are given a factual perspective on handling these emergencies in flight simulators. During the simulation, students can identify, assess, and respond to urgent situations. They also learn to evade dangerous scenarios and also stay safe. Stress-Free Learning Environment Being accountable for an aircraft can be nerve-wracking, particularly for new students. Every so often, people make more mistakes since they are anxious and nervous. Since flight simulators reconstruct different flight situations, students can polish their abilities in a perfectly safe environment. Knowing that they are on the ground and not in the air, students are also calmer and can pay more attention to their training. They also won’t worry about making mistakes and can have more time to learn from them. Flight simulators are tools for building pilots' confidence. By simulating actual flying scenarios without posing the actual dangers attached to them, they let pilots practice flight skills and controls in a safe environment. This allows students to perform manoeuvres and standard protocol peacefully, keeping them assured about their skills and abilities. Coming to a Concrete Conclusion As it has been told earlier in the piece, every aviation academy wants flight simulators, but not many have them up their sleeve. But this is not the case with us. Flapone Aviation is among the top aviation schools for a reason: that is, we are laden with all the advanced facilities, top instructors, and competitive prices of the courses.
