Prop Turns: What's a birthday? Pilot Mandatory Retirement Age
http://propturns.blogspot.com/2012/11/whats-birthday-pilot-mandatory.html
Sunday, November 4, 2012. Pilot Mandatory Retirement Age. In 1959, the pilot mandatory retirement age was set at 60 years old. The reason for the rule was to ensure safety. The age limit was changed in 2007 to 65 for the same reasons. The consensus was that once you hit your 65. Birthday you were automatically unsafe to fly. Is there a correlation between birthdays and safety? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Senior Seminar Blog Fall 2012. Joe Moore's Flight Blog. Final Sr. Seminar Blog.

Ryan Muth's Blog: General Aviation in China
http://n9688b.blogspot.com/2012/10/general-aviation-in-china.html
Sunday, October 21, 2012. General Aviation in China. General Aviation in China has not yet caught up to par with countries such as the United States. However, it is growing at a rate that might surprise some. Prior to the mid 90's, Chinese GA was almost non existent. According to Export.gov. GA in China started to increase every year after 1996. But why is this? Why is GA in China finally starting to boom? So what does this huge growth in Chinese GA mean for Americans? October 22, 2012 at 9:55 AM. Intere...

Monday, December 10, 2012. After graduation when I get a job flight instructing I plan to take it one day at a time for a while and just enjoy getting paid to fly. Of course I am still going to be pursuing more ratings such as CFII and MEI that is if I don’t have them already.

Aviation Senior Seminar : Airline Safety
http://bradcoffman.blogspot.com/2012/09/airline-safety.html
Sunday, September 23, 2012. Some things that the law changes are:. First officers are now required to hold an Airline Transport Pilot Certificate in part 121 operations (ATP). An ATP requires 1500 flight hours. It is proposed that pilots with an aviation degree or military pilot experience will only be required to get 1000 flight hours. The FAA is also planning for the pilots to be required to get a type rating in the aircraft being operated. In order to view the law in full. September 24, 2012 at 9:21 AM.

Flying By! (Pun Intended): NextGen
http://emuaviationroots.blogspot.com/2012/11/nextgen.html
Tuesday, November 13, 2012. The Next Generation Air Transportation System (NextGen) is a new way to control traffic in our national airspace.

You are the first blog I have read anywhere that included the general public when talking about user fees. I think that is a great idea. Even the non-flying population still use the advantages of our aviati...I lik...

Aviation Senior Seminar : EU ETS
http://bradcoffman.blogspot.com/2012/12/eu-ets.html
Sunday, December 2, 2012. The European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme was created in 2005 in order to reduce carbon emissions in the atmosphere. The Trading Scheme focuses on many different sources of the carbon emissions including the global aviation industry. Every year the EU ETS. This sounds like a great plan right? December 5, 2012 at 9:16 AM. December 5, 2012 at 1:20 PM. Yes, I agree with this point also. Would emissions be more effectively reduced through more efficient technology?

Prop Turns: Regional Industry - Flying in the clouds
http://propturns.blogspot.com/2012/10/regional-industry-flying-in-clouds.html
Sunday, October 7, 2012. Regional Industry - Flying in the clouds. The mid to late 1990's were boom times for the economy and the regionals. Carriers could not snap up the new CRJ's and later ERJ's fast enough. The mainline carriers, seeing the profits, weighed in and started ordering and financing even larger orders. Northwest, being more practical than innovative, was left purchasing thirty-six old-school AVRO RJ-85's while they waited eagerly for their CRJ delivery slots. October 9, 2012 at 10:37 AM.

Prop Turns: Ground Game
http://propturns.blogspot.com/2012/10/ground-game.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2012. In the unlikely scenario of being in our aviation program and never having flown commercially, you might question what happens inside the airport or inside the airplane. How to airplanes know where to park? How do passengers get to the airplane? What happens on the other side of the cockpit door? Close to 30% of their 87,000 employees work directly in ground operations. That will eliminate any need to interact with any ground operations employee. Senior Seminar Blog Fall 2012.

Prop Turns: November 2012
http://propturns.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 11, 2012. Outside of being the first and foremost responsibility in our industry, NextGen brings tangible safety improvements to the NAS. A major NextGen part, Automatic Dependant Surveillance-Boardcast (ADS-B) will give controllers and pilots real time positioning information of each aircraft. Pilots will not have to solely rely on finding dots through the windscreen to identify traffic. The benefits of NextGen will be slow as the project is expected to take at least 10 years. I thi...
