When the Skies Aren't Friendly: Who Resolves Conflict Between Captain and Co-Pilot?

In commercial aviation, where split-second decisions can make a lot of difference, the cockpit is one of the most critical workspaces. With more than 2.7 million passengers flying daily across India and the aviation industry of the country growing at 8-10% annually, the dynamics between crew members have never been more crucial. But what happens when there is a conflict between the captain and the co-pilot? The Indian aviation industry is on the rise, with the domestic passenger count reaching 154 million in 2023-24. There is no room for pilot conflicts to persist.

When Do the Wheels of an Aeroplane Open and Close?

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.

Are Fatal Aviation Accidents That Common? Let's Find Out

Travelling in an aeroplane and piloting it are both thrilling experiences for the folks, to say the least. This thrill can sometimes turn into unfortunate, catastrophic events. This is when an aircraft meets with an accident or crash. This leads to the loss of lives and property, and also instils a sense of fear in people's minds regarding the safety of travelling in an aeroplane. To answer this, we can easily say that boarding an aircraft for travel is safe. It is just like when you step into your car and hop onto a bike to go from one place to another, the last thing you think about is that an accident can take place. However, sometimes this unfortunate thing does happen and can even result in loss of life. Do people not get on the road again on their two and four-wheelers or even in public convenience? It is not just about road accidents, but accidents also occur in all modes of transport, including railways and waterways. But air accidents or crashes are indeed more deadly than any other type of accident. Statistically, there are more chances to be struck by lightning or be a victim of a shark attack than you are to perish in a plane crash. Every effort is made to minimize the occurrence of these events, and if one does occur, appropriate relief measures are implemented. Aviation authorities and passengers alike must be aware of the various reasons behind these accidents and crashes. Since the 1980s, there has been a sharp reduction in the number of fatal aviation accidents. Although the number of accidents is decreasing, a fear of flying persists. This is primarily due to the size and scope of such accidents. Common Causes of Aviation Accidents
