There are a lot of sayings in the Aviation Community to prove various points. One of them fits this story perfectly: “Being a pilot consists of long periods of bordem speckled with moments of shear terror”

I like getting feedback from those I am training to see what they actually need, rather than just ‘guessing’. A pretty outlandish idea, right? Well, I don’t think it is so much, which is why I need to know what you need for chart training.

Ever had something totally out of the ordinary happen to you while flying? Well, I had a first this last week; a blown tire! Thankfully myself and the aircraft are just fine and dandy, but I sure learned a lot and took some great images to document. Check it out.

I‘ve been a huge proponent of the fact that there is actually a human behind the mic of air traffic controllers. Contrary to popular belief, these humans do exist- and they have a sense of humor!

It may seem as though AOA hasn’t been putting out a lot of stuff on the blog soon, but all of the super secret membership area stuff is invisible to non-members. Don’t worry, we still think you’re cool, but I wanted to explain why it may look like we haven’t been busy.

Here is a quick video and my thoughts on a border crossing I did this last week. It was my first international flight and I learned quite a bit. The video is quite cool and shows me crossing the border (in-air) and also touching down in Canada.
