Two future F-35 Lightning II customers are being added to Lockheed Martin’s supply chain for the fifth-generation fighter aircraft as its deployment across Europe accelerates. Local industry partners in Finland and the Czech Republic have successfully obtained workshare as part of their respective F-35 procurements. Finland’s Patria will supply 400 sets of landing gear doors to Lockheed Martin, as part of a workshare agreement announced between the two parties on 27 March. A “landing gear doors” production line will be established at Patria’s Halli facility in Jämsä. The locally produced doors will first be fitted onto Finland’s fleet of F-35s before being exported. Czech company Vrgineers, Inc. has been tapped to build a ground simulator which can be used to train F-35 pilots. The company was selected by Lockheed as a strategic partner in the “pilot training industrial cooperation” project. Vrgineers will be responsible for both development and delivery of the simulators.

Ex-Helicopter Pilot turned Regulator 👨🏼✈️ | Aviation Leader | Sharing Expertise on Helicopter Flight Safety, Advanced Air Mobility, Sustainability and Innovation 🚁 | MSc in Aviation Management
Formation flying in helicopters needs pilots with specialised skills and competence. The manoeuvres needs to be carefully planned, trained and followed to the dot. I consider positioning your-self above the rotors of the leading aircraft (step-up) is a key component in helicopter formation flying, and that provides you enough room for an evasive manoeuvre and to keep the lead insight.

A famous quote among aviators is; "The only time you have too much fuel is when you are on fire". The pilot of a Beechcraft King Air found out that the combustion in his engines stopped when he didn't have enough fuel, on the 10th of June 2013. An emergency landing was the result. In this week's aviation history blog, the accident is the subject of the short read, which includes the full TSB report with all the details.

Quick and wise decision to abort the landing and to gain good attitude for re approch is purely the Pilots intelligence with pressense of Mind.
A rejected landing by a fighter jet on an aircraft carrier, also known as a bolter, typically occurs when the pilot decides to abort the landing due to various reasons such as insufficient speed, incorrect approach angle, or deck conditions. It's a challenging maneuver that requires quick decision-making and precise execution to safely regain altitude and attempt another landing.

Fact: Flying a helicopter is significantly more challenging than flying an airplane and we understand that. That’s why we started our accelerated Rotor Transition Program (RTP). When service members overseas need close air support, infil/exfil, medical transport or resupply most of the time it’s the “angels in the sky” who answer the call. 🇺🇸 So helping America’s rotorcraft aviators make the jump successfully isn’t just a “nice to have” aspect of our business, it is a sacred duty which we take very seriously at Learn 2 Fly CT. We’ve been proud to have many Vets train with us and we want to help you! Come to our Veteran owned school and train in three large Class B airspaces. Get the real world experience you just can’t find at a small airport. We understand how to make the process quick and easy. We also offer Credentialing Assistance to our Army Veterans. Work hard and you will leave here overly prepared for the airlines. We guarantee it. Stop watching your friends holding those CJOs. This is YOUR time! Make your move and join this industry while the airlines are hiring record numbers of “fling wing” pilots by adding some “stuck wing” to your logbook today! 🚁 ✈️ 🫡 Give us a call at 1-860-849-2226 or just send an email to info@learn2flyct.com with the subject RTP. #ATTACK #Cobra #marinecorpsaviation #supercobra #RTAG #RTAGNation #RTAGer #NorthernVets #YankeeRTAGers #RTP #helicopterpilot #privatepilot #commercialpilot #instrumentpilot #multienginepilot #certificatedflightinstructor #instrumentflightinstructor #multiengineflightinstructor #BlackHawk #SeaHawk #PaveHawk #JayHawk #Apache #Chinook #Kiowa #Huey #Cobra #Osprey #chicksfly #flygirl #womeninaviation #airlinepilot #veteranownedbusiness #AbovetheBest #motherrucker

One amazing feature in modern fighter jets is thrust vectoring and how it works with the flight control system. Advanced flight control systems and thrust vectoring are super important for making jets more precise and easier to handle. Thrust vectoring allows jets to control the direction of their thrust, which means they can make sharper turns and quicker movements. When this tech is seamlessly integrated with the flight control system, it lets pilots maneuver the jet with incredible accuracy and efficiency; it enhances the overall performance of the jet and makes pilots more effective. It also means pilots have less work to do since the advanced systems handle a lot of the complex stuff automatically. The role of automation here is huge. It improves the capabilities of military aircraft and reduces the pilot’s workload, allowing them to focus more on the mission and less on the mechanics of flying.

Repetition is the key to mastery, and Frasca helicopter simulators make it possible. Train on multiple approach and departure procedures for various airfields, multiple times, all in a short span. https://bit.ly/3SnL5zU #helicopters #flighttraining #pilottraining
