To guarantee a secure and worry-free flying experience, safety must always be the number one priority for airlines. It's not just about reaching a destination, but about the lives involved in every operation of an aircraft. That's why aviation safety is crucial.

What is the difference between Airport, Aerodrome and Airfield? Airport: A place often with multiple runways where commercial aircraft regularly take off and land usually based on a schedule, it has buildings for passengers flight management (Control tower) and services such as refueling, maintenance etc. An airport is normally a commercial enterprise. An Airfield: is on a much smaller scale usually non commercial and used for private or irregular charter flights minimal runways and limited services can also be military. minimal if any control. An Aerodrome is an old English word that has been replace with the word airfield so aerodrome and airfield are the same. #airport #runway #aviation

A quick glance at commercial airline pilots and ship captain uniforms reveals some striking similarities. At the same time, commercial airline pilots' uniforms bear little resemblance to their military pilot uniform counterparts. In the earliest days, the opposite was true. Pilot uniforms have evolved over the years, but the largest change came in the 1930s when Pan Am introduced its transatlantic Clipper flying boats. #pilot #aircraft #privatejet #Bizav #businessaviation #airtravel #aviation #aviationindustry #avgeek #pilots

FAA Grants Pathway to Train Circling Approaches at New Airports The FAA’s Air Transportation Division has aligned the circling approach criteria the agency’s inspectors use to approve these approaches at Part 142 training centers with the criteria specified in the airman certification standards (ACS) for the airline transport pilot and type rating for airplanes. The issue has been a point of discussion between NBAA’s Domestic Operations Committee (DOC) and the FAA since 2019, when the FAA introduced the ACS, said Eric Canup, senior vice president of flight operations at Live Oak Bank and DOC chairman. “After years of only practicing circling approaches at John F. Kennedy or Memphis airports, this allows Part 142 training providers to create more realistic circling approach training scenarios,” he said. “It also increases the utility of conducting circling approaches at airports where business [aircraft] operators are more likely to experience them in actual line flying. The enhancement to safety cannot be overstated.” Read more at: https://lnkd.in/dzZH3rst #AviationTalk #aviationnews #avgeek #aviation #FAA

United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby has moved to assuage concerns among passengers following a string of safety incidents involving its Boeing aircraft this year. In a Monday morning address to customers, Kirby emphasized the airline's unwavering commitment to safety, stating that it remains "at the core of everything we do." Addressing the recent incidents directly, Kirby acknowledged their disparate nature while affirming the airline's proactive stance: "While they are all unrelated, I want you to know that these incidents have our attention and have sharpened our focus." One such incident occurred on Friday when a United Boeing 737-800 landed in Medford, Oregon, with a noticeable absence: a panel from the underside of the fuselage was missing. #unitedairlines #aviationnews #aviation #breakingnews #safety #airlines #aircraft #usanews #usatoday #weeklynews #update #india #boeing #boeing737max #aircrafts #growingtogether #learninganddevelopment
