This extension to the main plane or the wing is called winglet. A winglet is an upturned extension at the tip of an aircraft's wing. It helps reduce drag, improve fuel efficiency, and enhance the aircraft's stability during flight. Winglets are designed to minimize the formation of vortices at the wingtips, which can improve overall performance. #aircraftmaintenance #airplanes #moreaboutairplanes #technicalknowledge #ame #aircraftengineer

"#AviationTrivia: Question: What does the term ""Hobbs Meter"" measure in an aircraft? Answer: The Hobbs Meter measures the time an aircraft's engine is running and is used for tracking engine usage." #TriviaTuesday #Aviation #LightHawk #Airplanes

A ground proximity warning system (GPWS) is a system designed to alert pilots if their aircraft is in immediate danger of flying into the ground or an obstacle. The United States Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) defines GPWS as a type of terrain awareness and warning system (TAWS). More advanced systems, introduced in 1996, are known as enhanced ground proximity warning systems (EGPWS), a modern type of TAWS. In the late 1960s, a series of controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) accidents took the lives of hundreds of people. Beginning in the early 1970s, a number of studies examined the occurrence of CFIT accidents. Findings from these studies indicated that many such accidents could have been avoided if a warning device called a ground proximity warning system (GPWS) had been used. As a result of these studies and recommendations from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), in 1974, the FAA required all large turbine and turbojet airplanes to install TSO-approved GPWS equipment. #galaxyaerosgh #space #spaceexploration #spacenews

It’s simple. You need a clean aircraft windshield for a clear view, especially when it comes to scanning for traffic. But, like many things in flying, there’s a right way, and a wrong way, to clean the windscreen. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4bD7OiU #AOPA #Aviation #AvGeek
