Protecting Aircraft Propellers: The Purpose of Rings, Guards, and Baskets
Aircraft propellers are vital components that play a crucial role in enabling the efficient function of an aircraft’s engine. As these propellers rotate at high speeds, it is essential to ensure their protection to avoid any potential damage or accidents. This article delves into the significance of rings, guards, and baskets in safeguarding aircraft propellers.
The Role of Propeller Rings
Propeller rings serve as a protective barrier around the outer edge of an aircraft’s propeller blades. These rings are designed to prevent foreign objects from coming into contact with the rotating blades during flight. By deflecting debris such as stones, ice chunks, or birds away from the blades, propeller rings help maintain optimal performance and reduce the risk of engine failure.
In addition to their protective function, propeller rings also contribute to reducing noise levels produced by the spinning blades. Through careful aerodynamic design and engineering, these rings effectively minimize turbulence and air disruptions caused by blade rotation, resulting in a quieter flying experience for both passengers and crew.
The Significance of Propeller Guards
Propeller guards provide an additional layer of protection for aircraft propellers by encompassing them entirely. These guards are typically made from durable materials such as stainless steel or composite alloys that can withstand high impact forces. They act as a physical barrier against potential hazards encountered during ground operations or low-altitude flights.
Propeller guards are particularly beneficial in environments where aircraft may come into close proximity with structures or objects. For example, during landing or takeoff at airports located near densely populated areas, these guards help prevent damage to property or injury to individuals in case of an accidental collision.
Subheading: Types of Propeller Guards
There are various types of propeller guards available, each designed to cater to specific aircraft requirements. Some guards come in the form of cages or mesh grids, consisting of interconnected metal wires or bars. These cages effectively prevent larger objects from striking the propeller blades while allowing sufficient airflow for optimal engine cooling.
Other propeller guard designs utilize segmented rings that encircle the entire circumference of the blades. These segmented guards offer enhanced protection against smaller debris and loose objects that could potentially cause damage when they come into contact with the rotating blades.
The Functionality of Propeller Baskets
Propeller baskets, also known as blade containment systems, are specialized safety devices designed to prevent catastrophic failure in case of blade detachment from an aircraft’s propeller assembly. These baskets consist of high-strength materials and are strategically positioned around the engine to intercept any detached blade fragments.
In situations where a blade becomes damaged or is subjected to excessive stress during operation, it may separate from the main assembly and become a high-speed projectile. Propeller baskets effectively contain these detached fragments, preventing them from penetrating other critical engine components or causing harm to nearby aircraft structures.
Subheading: Construction and Design
Propeller baskets are typically constructed using multiple layers of composite materials such as Kevlar or carbon fiber reinforced polymers. These materials offer superior strength and impact resistance while remaining lightweight to minimize any potential adverse effects on overall aircraft performance.
The design of these baskets involves careful consideration of factors such as fragment containment efficiency, weight distribution, and aerodynamic effects. Engineers strive to strike a balance between maximizing containment capabilities and minimizing undesirable side effects such as increased drag or altered airflow patterns around the engine assembly.
In conclusion, protecting aircraft propellers is crucial for maintaining their functionality and ensuring the safety of all onboard. Propeller rings, guards, and baskets serve distinct purposes in safeguarding these critical components throughout various operational scenarios. By implementing these protective measures, the aviation industry continues to advance its commitment to safety and reliability in air transportation.

Reports say Chinese plane crash killing 123 was intentional.
Khushi Shah – Mumbai Uncensored, 18th May 2022
A Chinese Eastern Airlines aircraft that crashed in the southern Guangxi province of China, carrying 132 passengers, was flying at 29,000at a speed of nearly 700 mph as per data from Flightradar and had no survivors. It was mainland China’s deadliest aviation disaster in 28 years.
The Boeing 737-800 that crashed in March was intentionally put into a nose-dive, according to US media reports. While there were faults in the design of Boeing’s later 737-Max model that led to two fatal disasters in 2018 and 2019, the 737-800 has long been in everyday service around the world.
The plane did what it was told to do by someone in the cockpit. Data from one of the plane’s “black box” flight recorders, which was recovered from the crash site, suggested that inputs to the controls pushed the plane into a near-vertical dive, the report said.
The plane slammed into the ground with such force that it created a 66-foot deep hole in the ground, according to Chinese officials. The pilots did not respond to repeated calls from air traffic controllers and nearby planes during the rapid descent, authorities have said. Early data showed the airliner plunged from 29,000 feet to 8,000 feet, leveled off and then went into a freefall. One video showed the plane nose-diving into the ground.
While the investigators are looking at the actions of the pilot before the accident, there is also speculation that someone broke into the cockpit and crashed the plane. However, there was no emergency code issued from the flight before the crash.
According to the media reports, aviation experts had noted that the flight. pattern shown on tracking sites resembled the ‘Germanwings’ crash in 2015, due to lack of reported mayday call or any loss of data signal. That Airbus A320 passenger plane was crashed deliberately by the pilot as it crossed the French Alps, killing 150 people.
The Chinese authorities have not indicated to their US counterparts that there was any mechanical or flight-control problems with the plane, the reports said, adding that no emergency code was sent, suggesting no intruder could have reached the cockpit.
4 important Indian space exploration milestones in 2022
D V L S Pranathi, Mumbai Uncensored, 3rd January, 2023:
2022 was genuinely a historic one for space exploration. While we witnessed NASA successfully accomplish the Artemis 1 mission to return people to the Moon, we also saw the James Webb Space Telescope give us a treat to the eyes by showing insights into the previously unimaginable views of the cosmos.
Using its Launch Vehicle Mark III (LVM3) rocket, formerly known as the GSLV-MK3, the Indian Space Research Organization launched its first commercial satellite. It also accomplished the pretty underrated Small Satellite Launch Vehicle (SSLVfirst ) ’s flight. Still, it was a sting in the tail because the rocket accidentally injected three satellites into the wrong orbit due to a sensor malfunction, making the mission only a fragmentary success.
2022 was an incredible year for private space technology firms in India. India launched its first privately made satellite vehicle on the Prarambh mission, carried out by Hyderabad-based Skyroot Aerospace. Chennai-based Agnikul Cosmos successfully tested the Agnikul launch vehicle, which has the world’s first single-piece 3D-printed rocket engine. The four most significant events in Indian space exploration in 2022 are listed below.
ISRO SSLV’s Maiden Flight
The launch of the first SSLV satellite was a massive milestone for the organization. The satellite was made keeping the Allied market research in mind, which states that the global small satellite market will reach 13.7 billion dollars by 2023. With the rapid turnaround time necessary for commercial launches, it combines three solid fuel-based stages and a liquid fuel-based velocity-trimming module (VTM) to deploy the satellites in orbit. The vehicle could be integrated and tested in two days, according to ISRO Chairman S Somanath. After that, the launch using the vehicle could be accomplished within a week if rehearsal and launch were completed within the next two days.
The SSLV-D1 mission was successfully launched on August 8 of this year. However, after that, the mission control room was hushed since there had been a few data losses during the mission’s final stages. The satellites were later found to be in an elliptical orbit rather than a circular one leading to them being declared useless.
“SSLV-D1 placed the satellites into 356 km x 76 km elliptical orbit instead of 356 km circular orbit. Satellites are no longer usable. The issue is reasonably identified. Failure of logic to identify a sensor failure and go for a salvage action caused the deviation. A committee would analyze and recommend. With the implementation of the recommendations, ISRO will come back soon with SSLV-D2,” said a statement from ISRO at the time. (sourced from the Indian Express)
Despite all the setbacks, the mission still turned out to be a partial success as it helped ISRO test any new elements and technologies that were incorporated into the rocket, including the hardware and the entire architecture.
LVM3’s first commercial mission
This mission was an absolute skyrocket for ISRO in 2022, quite literally. It was ISRO’s heaviest rocket and successfully injected 36 broadband satellites for the UK-based satellite internet company OneWeb. Since it was the first commercial launch of such a Complex mission, it marked many firsts for ISRO.
Additionally, it was the first time that LVM3 carried several satellites and orbited them. It was also the most significant payload that ISRO has ever launched, at 5.8 tons. On October 23, LVM3 launched after midnight from the second Launchpad of the Sriharikota spaceport, successfully putting 16 satellites into orbit and making sure they wouldn’t collide. Before that, Chandrayaan 2 was launched, and two development flights with LVM3 were successful.
The significance of LVM3’s string of successful launches extends beyond simply establishing India as a competitive competitor in the commercial satellite launch market. The Gaganyaan mission will send Indian astronauts into space, and ISRO is now working to human-rate the launch vehicle. India will become the fourth nation to launch crewed spacecraft thanks to the Gaganyaan mission, following the United States, Russia, and China.
Launch of Vikram S
Vikram S rocket was Skyroot Aerospace’s first private rocket launch in the country. It was launched from the Launchpad at Sriharikota at 11:30 am on November 18. It was a sub-orbital launch with the spacecraft traveling slower than the orbital velocity. This indicates that the spacecraft reached outer space but did not remain in orbit around the earth lasting lesser than five minutes. This series of rockets has been named after Vikram Sarabhai, the founder of the Indian Space program.
The engine launch pays homage to another great Indian scientist, APJ Abdul Kalam, and is named “Kalam-80”. The core structure of the satellite was made using carbon composites, and the thrusters used for spin stability were 3-D printed. Vikram S’s launch opened the door for Indian private space enterprises to take over some of the historical work done by ISRO, such as satellite launches.
First 3D-printed single-piece rocket engine:
Even though Skyroot is a groundbreaking Indian Tech startup, Agnikul, a Chennai- based startup, managed to overpower it by successfully test-firing Agnilet. This was its 3-D printed rocket engine at Thiruvananthapuram’s Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre. It is the world’s first single-piece 3-D printed rocket engine. It is intended to launch payloads up to 300 kg into low-Earth orbit along with the company’s proposed small satellite launch vehicle, Agnibaan, which is now in development. Agnilet is a “semi-cryogenic” rocket engine powered by a mixture of liquid kerosene at room temperature and super cold liquid oxygen.
At the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, the startup also inaugurated India’s first private Launchpad and mission control center in November. The Launchpad is four kilometers from the mission control center and is built to allow and assist liquid-stage controlled launches. Shortly, Agnikul intends to use this facility to launch the Agnibaan rocket.
India has once again succeeded in spellbinding the globe with its impressive technology and all the geniuses who sacrificed their time and energy and put in every drop of their sweat and blood to accomplish each of these milestones.
Gunman shot dead after killing three in Indiana Mall
Khushi Thapa, 18th July 2022:
Three people were killed after a gunman began firing in the food court of a mall near Indianapolis on Sunday, according to Greenwood Police Chief Jim Ison. The shooter was then shot and killed by a bystander.
The attack happened in the early evening at Greenwood Park Mall, according to the Indianapolis Star, and two other people were hurt.
“The real hero of the day is the citizen that was lawfully carrying a firearm in that food court and was able to stop the shooter almost as soon as he began,” Ison told reporters. He identified the armed bystander as a 22-year-old male.
According to the newspaper, the gunman was alone and had a firearm and numerous magazines of ammunition.
The names of the victims, the shooter, and the bystander were withheld by the police. At the sound of gunfire, shoppers and mall personnel fled or concealed themselves.
Why Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi has suddenly decided to resign?
Tista Karmakar, Mumbai Uncensored, 16th July 2022:
The Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi has announced that he will resign from his position after the Five Star Movement (M5S) on Thursday July 14 hinting at a political crisis paving its way for early elections.
To his statement Mr. Draghi said, “The pact of trust underlying the government has failed. In recent days there has been the utmost commitment on my part to continue on the common path, also trying to meet the needs that have been advanced to me by the political forces. As is evident from today’s debate and vote in parliament, this effort was not enough. From my inauguration speech I have always said that this executive would only go forward if there was a clear prospect of being able to carry out the government programme on which the political forces had voted their confidence. This compactness was fundamental to face the challenges of these months. These conditions no longer exist.”
In 2021 a surge of political change happened in response to the previous year’s COVID-19 pandemic crisis. The whole nation went through a state of emergency forced by the government of Guiseppe Conte, supported by the M5S, the Democratic Party (PD), a small left party, and Italia Viva. However, after the pandemic hit Italy, Matteo Renzi’s Italia Viva distanced itself from the government in December 2020 leading to its fall in February, 2021.
The former governor of the European Central Bank Mario Draghi led the establishment of a national unity government and was widely supported by all major party members except a post-fascist and a small left party.
The former European Central Bank chief Draghi has met the president, Sergio Mattarella over the issue of his resignation. However, Mr. Mattarella rejected Draghi’s resignation on Thursday night and at the same time advised him to address the parliament in order to get the support he needed.
Mr. Draghi has announced his resignation on Thursday after the populist coalition ally the M5S refused to support a key bill of the government. Reportedly the Draghi government formed in allyship of this populist, the left, the right, and the central parties in February 2021 right after Italy stumbled into the corona virus crisis.
Draghi and his government won a confidence vote of 172-39 to pass the bill in the Senate despite the M5S’s refusal. The bill provides support of 26 billion euros to the consumer and industries struggling with the energy crisis. The bill also included a provision for allowing the construction of a huge incinerator for Rome’s rubbish management project which was highly opposed by the M5S.
Mr. Draghi addressed the issue of the populist M5S’s disinterest in the bill by saying, “The majority of national unity that has sustained this government from its creation doesn’t exist any more.” To which the president advised Mr. Draghi to reach parliament in order to get the solid support he needs the most.
However, if Mr. Draghi fails to gain support from the parliament to carry out his economic reform, president Mattarella can call for an early election in late September since the current parliament’s term expires on 2023.
The M5S has lost its significance in the recent local elections and strolled in opinion polls. The populist party has also cleared their stance by being in opposition to the economic reform bill. A pro-Europe party leader said criticizing the M5S’s opposition, “is not like picking up a menu and deciding, antipasto, no, gelato, yes.” Whereas the Draghi government has been efficiently performing throughout the pandemic via the virtual medium. So, the Draghi government has become a pivotal figure in Europe amid the Russia-Ukraine war and the economic crisis. Some politicians say that Draghi’s decision to resign or not is important following the unfortunate departure of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The whole of Europe will be looking after Italy in the coming weeks.

At NARAM-56, we will hold I Waterloft, carrying and recovering 500 mL water bottles with I motors to the highest altitude possible. Flights are allowed all week from the Sport Range. We will have 2 divisions for all the HPR Fun events, senior and junior (anyone under 18 as of July 1st, 2013). NAR members that have their Junior L1 certification are welcome to compete as long as they follow the rules for Junior L1 fliers.
Waterloft is a provisional HPR Fun Event, the current rules are as follows. The other rules can be found in the HPR Sporting Code.
Note that the HPR Sporting Code & event rules do not set limits on number of flight attempts. So, feel free to fly both your safe model & your high-performance model.
Waterloft Rules (by Steve Lubliner)
TBD Water Loft Altitude Competition TBD.1 Scope Water loft altitude competition comprises one event with five impulse classes open. The purpose of this event is to achieve the highest altitude while carrying a specified liquid water payload. This event is open to single staged models only. Clustered motors are permitted. This competition is divided into classes based on the permissible total impulse of the motor(s). The following classes of Water loft Altitude Competition are established: Motor Class Total Impulse (Newton-seconds) Water Payload Volume H 160.01 to 320.00 500 milli-liters I 320.01 to 640.00 500 milli-liters J 640.01 to 1,280.00 1000 milli-liters K 1,280.01 to 2560.00 2000 milli-liters L 2560.01 to 5120.00 3000 milli-liters TBD.2 Variances The contest director, at his/her discretion, may stipulate minimum model dimensional characteristics that are intended to limit the maximum achievable altitude due to launch field restrictions. The contest director, at his/her discretion, may stipulate a water volume payload twice the established volume to limit the maximum achievable altitude due to launch field restrictions. TBD.3 Payloads Payloads shall contain the specified amount of water +/- 1.0%. No other payload liquid is permitted, e.g. carbonated water. Payload volume shall be verified after the flight. Payload containers may not be made of glass or metal. Payload containers do not have to be enclosed within the rocket airframe. Commercially available containers that have their tamperproof packaging intact, retain their commercial labeling, and have no indications of leakage, e.g. wetness, do not require post flight verification of their water volume. Multiple containers adding up to the required water volume are permitted. The payload(s) shall descend on deployed parachute(s) when within 300 feet of the ground. TBD.4 Returns All models require return to verify the payload condition and water volume (if required). TBD.5 Flight Data Flight altitude shall be recorded per Section 1.4 of this sporting code. TBD.6 Scoring The highest recorded AGL altitude is the winner. The RSO's decision on the validity of altitude reporting is final. The same RSO should examine all data files, if possible.


Hackerspace Global Grid (HGG) is a community driven project aiming to build a distributed measurement platform with space applications. Would there be a better place than space unconferences to present it? We, the team behind HGG who are mostly shackspace members, thought “nay!” and presented our distributed ground station network project for tracking satellites on even two of those SpaceUps in a row.
SpaceUp is a barcamp kind of gathering where virtually everyone with enthusiasm for space can attend, present and discuss space topics. And the best thing about those unconferences is that the time schedule is formed directly during the event itself by the participants themselves. So when you’re quick you can just block a slot and have your space related talk. It’s an unconventional conference, thus unconference.
The first one had been in our hometown at SpaceUp Stuttgart in the Space Center Baden-Württemberg of the Institute of Space Systems at the University of Stuttgart on 27th October 2012. Germany’s first space unconference used this exquisite location to bring together experts from the European Space Agency (ESA), German Aerospace Center (DLR) and further faculties and ordinary people just like us. As stated being part of the comic relief part of the event we shared our enthusiasm for space science. And it turned out very well and we received some great feedback and also inspired the audience that a community based space project can have it’s place between advanced mammothian space projects.
After the Stuttgart event we had been contacted and kindly asked by the organizers of India’s first SpaceUp if we would like to send a video “Message from abroad” and we gratefully replied “yea” and rushed in a video for their unconference in 1st December. India’s efforts in furthering space technology is increasing for the last several years and there are a lot of universities involved in nano and small satellite projects. The SpaceUp India organizers wanted us as an additional point of view for them that you can start small and still achieve goals. And open-source and especially open-data and education approaches are important objectives for India’s space missions. So we share similar attitudes. Unluckily we couldn’t attend ourselves and so had to send in a pre-recorded video for failsafe reasons (Internet connections tend to hate live conferences, you know!) but we received flattering reactions to our video and the organizers told us the audience liked it.
So we say a big THANK YOU to both SpaceUp Stuttgart and SpaceUp Bangalore. It had been a pleasure being part of it and we’re eagerly looking forward for the next iterations. We also kindly invite you to follow our HGG efforts on twitter, our mailinglist or at hgg.aero and help our grassroots space program to achieve its goals.


NASA have announced their new Fusion Driven Rocket as “The future of manned space exploration”.
The revolutionary technology would allow rapid velocity through Nuclear Fusion. This could be up to six times faster than conventional spacecraft propulsion methods, meaning rapidly reduced travel time.
The FDR “releases its energy directly into the propellant, not requiring conversion to electricity. It employs a solid lithium propellant that requires no significant tankage mass.” (NASA.gov)
Travelling to Mars in under 30 days could be the key to sending up the first Human, but others have more extravagant plans.
SpaceX, founded by Paypal and Tesla Motors’ Elon Musk, have some lofty ambitions for the colonisation of space, beginning with Mars. Musk wants to build a reusable rocket, capable to ferrying up to 80,000 passengers over the coming decades in a ambitious colonisation effort. He also believes tickets could come down as low as $500,000 per passenger.
Building a colony on Mars could once be seen as purely Science Fiction, but evermore we’re seeing a blending between reality and fiction. What was once the dreams of tomorrow are rapidly becoming ambitious, yet rational, plans for the near future. Technologies such as the 3D printing of buildings, food and medicine can allow a colony to grow rapidly, and these are the technologies that can help.
While Musk’s plans may be a few years ahead of where we currently are, technological advances such as the Fusion Driven Rocket could become the catalyst to bring our future closer than we think.


How the drone went from the latest must have tech toy to a billion-dollar cultural phenomenon
Of the many technologies to have captured our imaginations over the last five years, there have been few with such lofty aspirations as drones. These high-tech flying machines have opened up new cultural pastimes which bring together hobbyist enthusiasm and a simple human curiosity to take to the skies.
In 2015, one of the largest commercial drone developers, DJI, was valued to be worth over US$10billion, while major media companies like Facebook and Google have been quietly acquiring drone manufacturers to further their aspirations of reaching the remaining world’s offline population by using high altitude drones to beam down data through lasers, giving those more remote communities a means of getting online.
But what are the big five applications that explain the proliferation of drones over this period, or which signal important contributions to our society?

Mars colony art is not quite the correct title for this page yet. But, I love all things Mars and I want a Mars page. For almost ten years I’ve been involved with the Mars scene.
First with the Mars Society Netherlands and later with its successor Explore Mars Netherlands. In stead of a direct bond with The Mars Society we are now linked with Explore Mars Inc. This has nothing to do with splits in organizations but more with the new positive developments in commercial space activities.
I never imagined ten years ago that we people actually will start designing for getting a Mars colony in the future. I joined the Mars Society just because I love space. Now, concrete preparations are made to get people on Mars, for instance by Mars One. So, I thought it would be a good idea to show of all kinds of Mars Colony art from Zazzle. But I’m a bit disappointed though. There is not much Mars colony art, just Mars in general. And it gets down hill very quickly after a few pages.
With Mars getting hot again and to keep the fire burning there might be a market for Mars colony art. I suggested Mars merchandize years ago for propaganda purposes, but it never got from the ground. Maybe I have to rekindle that option. Some of the products shown below are from Explore Mars Netherlands and the t-shirts do quite well, despite the fact we do not market them. For now the best examples I could find on Zazzle.
Space is such a great hobby for me that I made another page. This one is solely for any vintage or retro space art I can find on the the Zazzle marketplace. You can find the page over here. Look around there might be something you want on your wall.

In the Nordic Region, the accuracy of GPS and other satellite-based navigation systems can be reduced due to disturbances in the ionosphere, the outermost layer of the atmosphere. Existing systems for mitigating this problem are not able to cover sea and polar areas; also large on-shore areas can be severely influenced. We will fill the coverage gaps in current satellite positioning support systems by forecasting space weather that will influence navigation systems.
Unpredictable reductions in navigation accuracy represent a serious limitation in several large markets, including offshore, shipping, fishing, and tourism in the High North, construction, autonomous vehicles, and location-based services in the on-shore mass market, and eventually, the planned transition to satellite-based traffic management in the aviation industry. We are developing a forecast enabling cm-level precision in satellite navigation systems. The two main market drivers are increased automation and increased High-North activity.

Turbulence in the ionosphere causes disturbances and disruptions on satellite signals. Based on real-time measurements of ionosphere conditions, researchers at the University of Oslo have developed a model that can predict the most severe instances of ionospheric disturbance on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GPS, Galilieo, etc). In the Nordic Region, the worst disturbances on GPS signals occur when a so-called polar-cap patch enters the auroral oval. We model the transport of polar cap patches, and calculate at what time they will impact with the auroral oval, thus predicting disturbances. A first version of the model is verified in a case study to provide a forecast accuracy of 5 minutes several hours in advance.
Improved navigation precision.

Tandem jumps - 100% adrenalin adventure
WHY TANDEM JUMP
Tandem jump is the easiest way how to experience something you have been only dreaming about or you were not sure how to action this "crazy" idea.
You don't need any course or a medical check up, you will receive a short briefing before the jump and you will be able to experience the same as a skydiver does. The increase of the adrenalin levels during the aircraft flight, wonderful feeling during the exit, the beauty of the freefall with the freedom of a bird, slight chill down your spine during the canopy opening, parachute flying and finally a soft landing back on the firm ground.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A TANDEM JUMP?
You don't need a course or a medical check up to do a tandem jump. Simply arrive to the airport at an arranged time and we will look after you. Everybody can jump from 8 - 100 years old weighing max. 130 kg (286 lb / 20.5 st) - exceptions can be made after a consultation.
Your tandem pilot will explain everything you need to know during a short 15 minute briefing after which you will put on our jumpsuit and a special tandem harness. You will be given goggles for eye protection. We use parachutes manufactured abroad and equipped with Automatic Activation Device (AAD) called Cypress. Our tandem pilots have minimum of 2000 jumps and passed very demanding courses.
Next you and your tandem pilot will board the aircraft which will climb into a given altitude necessary for the jump (the aircraft flight takes approx. 15 - 20 mins). During climbing your tandem pilot will connect your harness to his and after reaching the correct altitude you will both exit the aircraft. We jump from 4000 m AGL (13500ft). You will be enjoying approximately 50 seconds of freefall at 200km/h (125 mph). At 1500 m (5000ft) your tandem pilot will open the parachute and you will fly for 6 - 8 minutes on the canopy, which you can try streering. Before the landing your tandem pilot will take over the steering and land you softly and safely back onto the ground.
After the landing you can enjoy the congratulations from your family and friends, a tandem jump certificate issued by us and an original tandem jump t-shirt. You can then cherish that unforgettable memory.
Whole jump, from briefing to landing, can be recorder by a digital camcorder or can be photographed by an experienced cameraman - skydiver. He will then edit the footage and add the sound. The footage can be recorded on DVD . High quality photos are put on a CD. You choose what suits you best (see Photo & Video).

Indian Railway-Initial Satellite based Navigation Services
A step towards initial Satellite based Navigation Services in India: GAGAN & IRNSS
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) and Airports Authority of India (AAI) have implemented the GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation-GAGAN project as a Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) for the Indian Airspace. The objective of GAGAN to establish, deploy and certify satellite based augmentation system for safety-of-life civil aviation applications in India has been successfully completed. The system is inter-operable with other international SBAS systems like US-WAAS, European EGNOS, and Japanese MSAS etc. GAGAN GEO footprint extends from Africa to Australia and has expansion capability for seamless navigation services across the region. GAGAN provides the additional accuracy, availability, and integrity necessary for all phases of flight, from enroute through approach for all qualified airports within the GAGAN service volume. GAGAN Payload is already operational through GSAT-8 and GSAT-10 satellites. The third GAGAN payload will be carried onboard GSAT-15 satellite which is scheduled for launch this year.
Initially, Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) certified GAGAN for enroute operations (RNP 0.1) on December 30, 2013 and subsequently on April 21, 2015 for precision approach services (APV 1). APV1 Certified GAGAN signals are being broadcast with effect from May 19, 2015. GAGAN is the first SBAS system in the world to serve the equatorial region. GAGAN ionospheric algorithm known as ISRO GIVE Model-Multi-Layer Data Fusion (IGM-MLDF) was developed by ISRO and is operational in the implemented GAGAN System. India has become the third country in the world to have such precision approach capabilities.
GAGAN though primarily meant for aviation, will provide benefits beyond aviation to many other user segments such as intelligent transportation, maritime, highways, railways, surveying, geodesy, security agencies, telecom industry, personal users of position location applications etc.
IRNSS, the Indian Regional Navigation Satellite System, is an ISRO initiative to design and develop an independent satellite-based navigation system to provide positioning, navigation and timing services for users over Indian region. The system is designed with a constellation of 7 spacecraft and a vast network of ground systems operating. The first three satellites (IRNSS-1A, 1B &1C) were launched in 2013-14.
IRNSS-1D, the fourth satellite of IRNSS constellation was successfully launched on March 28, 2015 on board PSLV-C27. The initial tests of the spacecraft have been successfully completed and it has joined the family of IRNSS space segment. With the addition of fourth spacecraft the minimum satellite requirement is met and independent position solution is demonstrated for the first time using an Indian satellite-based navigation system. The unique Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) /Geo Synchronous Orbit (GSO) constellation design provides a position accuracy of better than 15 metre for longer duration of 20 hours in a day even with 4 satellites.
ISRO has released the ‘IRNSS Signal-in-Space interface control document for Standard Positioning Service ver 1.0’, the document that comprehensively provides all the information required by user receiver manufacturers. The document is available for download at http://irnss.isro.gov.in.
While GAGAN will redefine navigation over Indian Airspace, IRNSS will provide independent and self reliant satellite based navigation services over Indian region.


Tej Pratap Yadav, the eldest son of Lalu Prasad Yadav, remains on the news most of the time, however most of it for non-political reasons. This time he has become a subject of memes by claiming that before joining politics, he was a pilot who was selected for the Indian Air Force, and he used to fly the Cessna aircraft.
Addressing workers of his Chatra Janshakti Parishad on October 7, talked about his student life, Tej Pratap Yadav said that he has a background of pilot. He said that he had filled the form for Indian Air Force, and he was selected. After that, he joined the Bihar Flying Institute in Patna for a three-year flying course, out of which he had completed two years.
His comments can be heard in the original full video below posted by Chhatra Janshakti Parishad, from 15 minutes mark.
Tej Pratap Yadav said that he used to fly Cessna aircraft during his training at the Flying school. Then he claimed that he had an ID card with ‘captain’ prefixed to his name, and he was known as ‘Captain Tej Pratap’.
Tej Pratap had made similar claims last year too during an interview with Quint during the Bihar elections. ‘I used to be pilot before joining politics’, he had said during the interview, adding that he had joined the Bihar Flying Institute for a flying course, adding that after completing 2 years, he had to leave as he joined politics.
Both the videos are being circulated on social media, implying that he is lying as it is known that both sons of Lalu Pratap in politics didn’t progress much ahead in politics. However, he is not lying completely, although he had made some very tall claims.
Contrary to popular belief, Tej Pratap Yadav has actually completed 12th, which means he is eligible to join a flying course. It is his brother Tejashwi Yadav who is 9th pass. One can become a commercial pilot by joining any DGCA approved private commercial pilot training centre, including the Bihar Flying Institute. After completing the course, one has to go through physical and written tests to get a licence as a pilot.
Tej Pratap Yadav had actually joined the Bihar Flying Institute, and therefore he is not lying on that point. A profile on him The Quint had said that he had got himself enrolled in Patna’s Bihar Flying Institute for a course, which would enable him to get a commercial pilot license. It further said that he underwent the pre-solo stage of training during which a trainee flies an aircraft with an instructor on board. This means, Tej Pratap didn’t fly the Cessna plane alone, however he flew a Cessna 172 plane with an instructor on board.
The rest of his comments are vastly exaggerated. As he had dropped out of the course after two years, he can’t call himself a ‘former pilot’. He was not a pilot before joining politics as he was claiming. He had only half completed the first stage of becoming a pilot. Just like people who drop out of medical or engineering colleges can’t call themselves doctors or engineers, people who drop out of a flying school can’t call themselves pilot.
The other claim of Tej Pratap Yadav, that he had an ID card with ‘captain’ prefixed to his name is even more curious. In Commercial pilots, the captain prefix is used only for the senior pilot in an aircraft who is in overall charge of the aircraft. Flying students definitely can’t be called captain, they are called cadets. It is not sure whether Tej Pratap Yadav mistook cadet for captain, or he was given a special privilege.
The claim that he was selected for IAF is also questionable, because just filling the form is not enough to be selected. One needs to clear a highly competitive entrance exam to get admitted to the Air Force Academy. While one can take the NDA (National Defence Academy) exam after 12th, one can take the Combined Defence Services (CDS) after graduation. There is no evidence that Tej Pratap Yadav had cleared the NDA exam after his 12th, therefore there is huge doubt over his claimed that he was ‘selected for Indian Air Force’.

Boeing Stock Plummets After Trump ‘Fires’ Air Force One
Boeing stock goes down
After President-Elect Trump publicly trashed them on Twitter, Boeing’s stock shot down by two dollars a share before markets opened on Tuesday.
Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2016
Where Trump got his figures is unknown, but Christian Davenport reported that the contract with Boeing is only currently worth $170 million. The government plans on replacing the current Air Force One plane with two new ones for future presidents to use. Boeing won the contract in 2015, and the new planes are expected to be operational and ready to fly in about ten years. The $170 isn’t actually for buying the planes, but for Boeing to determine the capabilities of the planes they plan on producing.
Trump denounces air force one
Trump told a reporter in the lobby of New York’s Trump Tower that the cost “is totally out of control. It’s going to be over $4 billion for the Air Force One program, and I think that’s ridiculous. I think Boeing is doing a little bit of a number. We want Boeing to make a lot of money, but not that much money.”
His campaign spent over $6 million on his own personal aircraft after he announced his candidacy, and called the government funded Air Force One “a step down” from his personal aircraft “in every way.” Once Trump received a Secret Service detail, the agency paid $1.6 million for its agents to travel with him—money that went to TAG Air, a company owned by Trump. Trump’s plane is also a Boeing.
The Air Force said they wouldn’t let Trump keep using his current plane when inaugurated unless it was significantly upgraded. As CNN reported earlier in the month, Trump’s personal plane would need to be upgraded with newer technology to keep a president safe. Missile detection and avoidance systems, electromagnetic shielding, mid-air refueling mechanisms and confidential communications systems are things that make these planes so costly.

This article discusses NASA’s latest attempts to track the thickness of ice in the polar regions. The Ice, Cloud and land Elevation Satellite can measure changes in ice thickness to within half a centimeter.
NASA is set to launch its most advanced global ice-monitoring satellite, which has been in the works for nearly a decade.
The agency plans to send the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) into space on 15 September atop a Delta 2 rocket from the Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. It will focus on measuring changes in ice thickness in places including Greenland and Antarctica, but it will also collect data on forest growth and cloud height.
The satellite is designed to track seasonal and annual changes in ice thickness to within half a centimeter — a resolution greater than any previous elevation-monitoring satellite. The US$1-billion spacecraft will orbit 500 kilometers above Earth’s surface, and cover the globe every three months for the next three years.

In recent news, American Airlines has come out publicly to say that in the event of a flight attendant strike (over contract negotiations) the airline is committed to their operation and would consider training their managers and support staff as flight attendants.
Putting aside the ramifications and reasons over a strike, this is a bad, bad idea.
The managers and support staff would be put through a quick abbreviated flight attendant initial training course, focusing mostly on safety and security and not the customer service aspects of the position. Usually, flight attendant training courses range from 3 weeks to two months, depending on the airlines standards and training schedule. My fear, is that the airline will “push through” replacements that may not be 100% qualified for the position, in an effort to keep planes in the air.
With the recent influx of security scares at airports and heightened awareness of aircraft safety, would you feel safe with a full crew of replacement flight attendants working your flight?
It’s no secret that flight attendants have become your first defense in the air against terrorism and have proven time over time that they are properally trained to safely evacuate passengers from an aircraft in crisis, but can these replacements do the same?
Probably. The FAA needs to approve any abbreviated training program before American can legally train any replacement workers. Therefore, you would hope that any safety and security training modules that are imperative to doing the job of a cabin crew member wouldn’t be cut in lieu of time. But what worries me is the mindset of a replacement worker.
These people are being taken out of an office environment, thrown through an inflight training course (which, trust me, isn’t easy and is very stressful!) and placed in a metal tube for a ‘temporary’ amount of time with other ‘flight attendants’ new to the position as well. If they happen to encounter a medical emergency, diversion or god forbid an emergency landing no one on board that aircraft has any prior experience to draw upon to lead the other crew members through the situation. The best training after initial ground training is experience and guidance from those who have been doing this job for a decent amount of time.
Through you sit through a month of training on the ground, and run through various scenarios, being faced with a situation in the air is a completely different story. I remember my first medical emergency, it was a very scary experience. At first, I froze. I won’t lie. I did. I was in one of those moments where I thought “oh my god, this is really happening!” Luckily, I had 2 other flight attendants working with me, who had been flying for over 5 years, and to them this situation was “routine.” They sprung into action, assisted the passenger, and taught me the ‘real way’ of dealing with the situation. From that moment on, dealing with medical emergencies also became routine to me and I’m able to show our new hires how to handle this situation in the real world.
These flights being operated with replacement workers, won’t have experience to fall back on when things aren’t going according to the textbook.
In addition to these replacement workers, ex-TWA flight attendants (who have been laid off by American Airlines following the merger) have now come forward and said they would be willing to work in the event of a strike. Even though these are past flight attendants, with years of experience I would question their motive in returning to the skies for an airline that has jerked them around for the better part of almost 10 years. These flight attendants were stapled to the bottom of the American seniority list, laid off, offered buyouts, etc. and now what to “help the company out in a time of need.” Why?
All of this aside, the employees at American should understand where the flight attendant work group is coming from (as they too took paycuts to keep the airline running) and should support each other. Crossing a picket line isn’t going to win over new friends, just create more enemies which, in the end, will create further atomicity between work groups which will be seen by the passengers and ruin the airline.
Passengers need to understand that flight attendant’s don’t make as much money as they used to and have taken considerable paycuts through the last few years to keep their airlines operating. As the airlines are looking to increase revenue and decrease spending during the recession, it’s sad to say that in my opinion they are putting safety on the line as they further jerk around flight crews and allow them to work in a hostile work environment.
Though it is important to mention that not all airlines share the same beliefs and some take care of and work with their employees to make their company a great place to work.

Shepherd is considered one of the leading climate scientists in America. A professor in the Department of Geography at the University of Georgia, Shepherd is director of the University’s Atmospheric Sciences Program. In addition to leading the AMS, the largest and oldest professional/science society in the atmospheric and related sciences, he serves on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Science Advisory Board, the Earth Science Subcommittee of the NASA Advisory Council, and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Visiting Expert Committee.
He is frequently sought as an expert on weather, climate, and remote sensing. In February 2013, he briefed the U.S. Senate on climate and extreme weather. Prior to joining the UGA faculty, Shepherd spent 12 years as a research meteorologist in the Earth-Sun Division at NASA-Goddard Space Flight Center. He was also deputy project scientist for the Global Precipitation Measurement mission, which launches this year. At UGA, he conducts research and teaching in atmospheric sciences, climatology, water cycle processes and urban climate systems. For his pioneering work using satellite data to investigate urban hydroclimate processes, in 2004 he received the Presidential Early Career Award for scientific research.


Until now, small drones have run solely on batteries — limiting their flight time to a matter of minutes. Chris Hagen, a College of Engineering professor at OSU-Cascades in Bend, along with his team of business and engineering experts, set out to change that. By developing a hybrid engine that allows drones to stay aloft longer, they’ve given first responders greater capability to locate and bring essentials to people in need of immediate help.
Their invention — which was made possible by funding through the MJ Murdock Commercialization Initiation Program and the OSU Venture Development Fund — was crafted by pairing a small gasoline engine with an electric motor. Running the engine charges the batteries, powering the electric motors that run the propellers. So far, drones with this hybrid system have flown for over an hour. The goal is to increase flight time even more.
In addition to greater endurance, Hagen’s engine design makes the drones more effective. With enough power for vertical takeoff and landing, it eliminates the need for a runway and makes it easier to send help as soon as it’s needed.
While he continues to refine the prototype, Hagen is getting the word out about his product. By working with SOAR Oregon, a nonprofit economic development organization dedicated to drone expansion, he plans to connect with established drone businesses and build relationships with first responders who can use the drones. Hagen is also protecting his engine designs with patent applications through Oregon State University’s Office for Commercialization and Corporate Development (OCCD).
But Hagen wants his drones to go even further. He is currently targeting them for use in other applications like spotting forest fires and conducting wildlife research. And in the future, he hopes to make hybrid cars drive longer on electricity and develop mini generators for home use.
Researchers like Hagen are driven to pursue ideas no one else has. And those ideas have life-changing potential.
Beavers don’t work alone. Hagen collaborates with engineering and business experts, including:
Tom Herron, owner, Flagline Consulting; M.S., Mechanical Engineering, OSU; former research associate, Microproducts Breakthrough Institute
Shyam Menon, assistant professor of mechanical engineering, Louisiana State University; former postdoctoral researcher, OSU
Sean Brown, associate engineer, SpaceX; M.S., Mechanical Engineering, OSU
Matt Smith, president, Hatch Product Development; B.S., Mechanical Engineering, OSU; former academic advisor, OSU-Cascades

A pilot is a person who is qualified to fly an aircraft or spacecraft. Many things— balloons, gliders, zeppelins—are considered to be aircraft, but this article will focus on how to become an airplane pilot.


Landed in Memphis, waiting on my connecting flight to Phoenix. The plane from Birmingham was tiny, and the man sitting next to me was not. I had a window seat though, so I spent the flight checking out the scenery. Remember the "Whole New World" sequence in Aladdin? I remember being so sad as a kid that I'd never be able to swoop across the sky and through the clouds on a magic carpet. Delta's not exactly a magic carpet, but it's close enough for me. :) I'm pretty sure my love of flying can be traced back to that exact video segment. Next stop, Phoenix!

Recently, while flying between Durham and New York, I decided to take a picture of the propeller during take off. I don’t know what prompted to me to do this, but when I pointed my iPhone camera at the propeller out my window I noticed very odd pattens. I took multiple pictures throughout the flight […]

DJI’s pro-grade Inspire 1 drone has enjoyed some upgrades over its lifespan. Its modular camera design made that possible, with the standard 1/2.3-inch X3 4K camera giving way to Micro Four Thirds X5 and X5 Raw variations. But now it’s time for an all new airframe with two new camera options, significantly improved speed, and an obstacle avoidance system. The Inspire 2 ($6,198 as reviewed) is sure to be the darling drone of pro filmmakers, local news stations, and deep-pocketed enthusiasts, as it supports features that demanding aerial videographers require, including dual-operator control and pro-grade video compression. It’s our Editors’ Choice for high-end drones.
The Inspire 2 ($3,295.00 at Amazon) is a big drone. It’s powered by just four rotors, so it’s actually smaller than the competing pro-grade Yuneec Tornado H920. The aircraft’s dimensions change slightly based on the position of its landing gear. When set to take off there’s about 1.2 feet between each motor. Switching to travel mode, which lets you stow the drone in the included carrying case, widens its footprint, while at the same time reducing its height. Without a camera installed it weighs about 7.3 pounds, so you’ll most certainly have to register with the FAA before outdoor flight.
The landing gear blocks the left and right views of the camera when the Inspire is on the ground, but it rises up once the drone is airborne, allowing camera to look left, right, backward, and any direction in between, with an unobstructed view. Its body is now magnesium alloy, in contrast to the plastic shell that protects the internals of the Inspire 1. The landing gear retains its carbon fiber construction.


We bring the fight to the defense by aggressively litigating claims – and insurance companies know this.
When boarding an aircraft, passengers expect a safe ride to their destination. Thankfully, most flights are uneventful. However, when aviation accidents do occur, they can result in catastrophic injuries or death. If you were injured or if a loved one was injured or killed in an aviation accident, you have the right to pursue compensation. Scott Marshall Injury Attorneys, a Florida law firm, has established a reputation as the aviation accident lawyers Florida victims and their families trust for experienced, compassionate representation.
Why Hire an Aviation Accident Attorney
Aviation injury lawyers help victims and their loved ones in several ways.
First, an attorney who regularly handles aviation accident cases can provide invaluable guidance and insight, helping you understand your options for recovering compensation for your losses.
Should you choose to pursue a legal claim, your airplane accident lawyers will work to compile evidence to bolster your claim and will fight for your rights to the best possible settlement or damage award, based on the facts and circumstances of the accident. We will not accept settlement offers which will not compensate victims appropriately for their losses.
As an airplane injury law firm, Scott Marshall Injury Attorneys understands the devastation that accompanies aviation accidents. We are skilled negotiators, fierce litigators, and tireless advocates for our clients.
What Is an Aviation Accident?
Not every injury involving an airplane is technically an aviation accident; the term “aviation accident” has been specifically defined by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO.)
An incident is deemed an aviation accident when the accident:
- Occurs in flight (from the time a passenger boards to the time the last person deplanes), and
- Results in serious injury to, or the death of, someone aboard, or results in in damage to the aircraft
Your aviation accident attorneys will review and investigate the circumstances of the accident to establish that the incident meets this legal definition.
What Causes Most Airplane Accidents?
Aviation accidents happen for a variety of reasons. In some cases, equipment failure is to blame. In other situations, weather conditions play a role. However, most airplane accidents are the result of human error, including:
- Pilot drowsiness
- Air traffic control mistakes
- Alcohol or drug use
- Distraction/inattention in the cockpit
- Flight plan deviations
- Failure to adjust for weather conditions
- Errors by crew members
- Mechanical errors are not addressed
Personnel responsible for maintaining aircraft safety can also inadvertently cause aircraft accidents. Your airline injury lawyers will work to gather evidence to support your claim for damages when someone’s negligence was responsible for the incident.
Common Injuries After a Florida Aviation Accident
While aircraft incidents often result in death, they can also leave victims with severe, life-altering injuries. Some of the most common injuries from Florida aviation accidents include:
- Spinal cord injuries
- Traumatic brain injuries
- Broken bones
- Damage to internal organs
- Nerve damage
- Limb amputation
- Back and neck injuries
- Wrongful death
Who Can Be Held Liable in an Aviation Accident?
Your aviation accident attorneys will work hard to identify all potentially responsible parties and to hold them accountable for their actions or negligence. In some cases, multiple parties have some culpability for causing aviation accidents.
Responsible parties may include:
- Aircraft owner
- Aircraft and/or aircraft parts manufacturer
- Crew member(s)
- Air traffic control personnel
- Another passenger
Anyone who played a role in the accident, and its resulting injuries, can be held liable and responsible for paying compensation to victims.
Choose the Aviation Accident Lawyers Florida Victims Trust
Aviation accident claims are often complex matters, involving multiple responsible parties and highly technical evidence. If you were injured, or if a loved one was injured or killed in an aviation accident, you need a skilled, experienced attorney who understands these nuances and who is prepared to fight for the best possible outcome on your behalf.
We have been fighting for Florida aviation accident victims’ rights for years. Schedule your free consultation today to explore your options.

Last week, it all turned a bit less wow for
wow air! Wow air started flying back in 2012. Their
goal was to offer low cost flights from Europe to the USA and the other way around with a
stop-over in Iceland. So pretty much the same as Icelandair is doing at this moment! Last
year, Wow air operated a fleet of 21 airbus aircraft to 47 destinations and it was the
second biggest airline in Iceland. As you see here they mainly operated flights from
many American and Canadian cities like Toronto, New York and Boston. Via Iceland all the way
down to European cities like Paris, Brussels and London!
But in November last year the airline announced that they were in talks with Icelandair to
take over the entire Wow Air operation. By the end of November, they were forced to send
half of their fleet to storage because of financial difficulties. A couple of days later
Icelandair cancelled their possible take-over plans of Wow Air and Wow had to find another
investor to keep alive… The same day, indigo partners announced they
wanted to buy the struggling Wow Air. Due to that, Wow Air launched some major adjustments
to their operations, more aircraft were grounded, staff fired and routes closed…
In March 2019, Indigo Partners decided to not buy Wow Air and not that much later, Wow
Air had to cease operations, that was on the 28 of March.
So, what made Wow Air go Bankrupt? First of all, they were growing to fast, they
should have focused on profitable routes instead of launching 47 destinations to pretty much
everywhere. Secondly, they were one of the pioneer airlines to try the low-cost long-haul
model. Many airlines failed to make a profit with this business model. Just take a look
at Primera Air Nordic and Norwegian, which is also suffering major financial difficulties.
So, what are the consequences of the Wow Air failure?
The first ones who were affected by the bankruptcy were the more than 1000 Wow Air employees
and of course the passengers, who saw their flight cancelled out of nowhere. Lucky for
the last one, many airlines launched rescue fares to get the pax to their destination.
Icelandair is now the only international airline in Iceland and the only one who offers a stopover
in Iceland. They see the competition going bankrupt, what is a good case for them.
But it’s a bad case for Iceland, the forecast is that their GDP will drop by 3% and their
currency by 13% just because of the shut-down of Wow Air.
The ex-Wow Air aircraft are going back to the leasing company and will soon be introduced
in other airlines fleets. Some airlines will be very happy to see some unexpected extra
capacity coming in, certainly with the current grounding of the 737 MAX!
As a plane spotter, I will miss the livery of WOW Air. Although it may not be the most
beautiful livery in the airline industry, it is one of the more eye-catching liveries
which flew around…

Rocket Nation Sadness Part 8 – UToledo enrollment data. If you were a pilot and your altimeter showed 13,800 feet and climbing, but your co-pilot’s showed 12,800 feet and descending, and your flight engineers showed 11,900. What would you do?
Would you recline your seat and dream about attending conferences every few weeks? Would you facilitate your co-pilot, flight engineer and air traffic control to fix the problem? Or would you sit silent and not talk about it?
Some First Class passengers are arguing that the altitude is 13,800 because they know the pilot. They are telling passengers to stop talking and mind their own business. Other First Class passengers also know the Pilot and are deeply concerned. They see the disconnect and have been asking questions since the flight took off.
Passengers in the rear of the aircraft are hearing the commotion. They’re asking passengers close to first class what is going? The far back of the aircraft its eerily silent. Some passengers are crying. Some are praying. Others are have given up because they’ve experienced flights like this for 20-years.
Columbus air traffic control is receiving calls from pilots in nearby planes, passengers, CEOs and politicians whose family members are on the aircraft. They’re asking what is causing the different altitude reports? Why is the pilot not facilitating their team to resolve the problem? Why is the pilot not talking to the passengers? Is the pilot even in the cockpit?
Here’s a link to the official UToledo enrollment census data reported from 2008 through 2022. It’s been available to you and the Trustees since 2008. What do you think?
Is it true that the Fall 2023 enrollment forecast shows under 11,400 full-time students a decline from 11,977 last Fall? Is it true that denied first year student applications are down over 100 students (more accepted) and Pell Grants are up? What does this mean to retention in Spring 2024? Is it true that graduate enrollment is down from 3,626 to a forecast of 2,800? Is it true that direct from high school enrollment is below 1,800? If you were the VP Enrollment would you be in the office rallying your team, the Deans and the entire Rocket Nation 24 x 7 to stop the decline?
In 2021, when the pilot entered the aircraft the data showed nearly a decade of decline. What steps have been taken to stop the decline? Has the pilot positioned The Rocket Nation for big enrollment wins or more devastating loses? How bad will it be in Fall 2024? Where is the pilot leading The Rocket Nation? What is the plan and how can The Rocket Nation help?
If you were the Chair of the UT Board of Trustees would you call an emergency meeting to discuss this today or wait? Please keep praying for the Governor, Chancellor, Will Lucas, the Trustees and passengers on the aircraft.

Mt Cook, Snow & Scenic Flights
Updated: Feb 4, 2020
MOTORHOME SOUTH ISLAND TRIP 2018
Who would've thought that on my birthday Im going to fly around Mt Cook in a little Cessna plane! When we say 'spontaneous' thats exactly the type of decision we made while passing through the Mountain Village.
Spectacular and absolutely beautiful flight, which at the same time was an introduction of Cessna plane to me, the same type of plane Arash is flying for his Pilot License.
I wasn't sure how to feel about it, to be excited or worried - its a tiny plane, but I really wanted to understand and maybe feel the same buzz he feels every time he flies.
So here we are, surrounded by mountains and turning to the Mt Cook Airport.
Airport looks almost invisible under the weight of mighty mountains. This fact is absolutely amazing in this case - we should be a part of nature, try to blend in and embrace it.
I felt calm and confident, because I knew exactly (well 90%) how it'll all go, as I've seen so many videos of planes performing in the sky. Obviously I'm interested in whats my husband doing when in Ardmore Airport in Auckland :)
We were very lucky with our pilot. Great guy with thousands of flying hours. He never wanted to be a pilot for passenger airlines, Why would you, if you are a nature lover and meeting tourists from different countries every day anyway. Plus living next to this mighty mountains has a bit of romance in it.
Built by the Cessna Aircraft Company in USA, the C185-F is the ultimate workhorse of the aviation industry.
The colours and patterns of river are incredible.
We literally and metaphorically felt under the wing, thanks to our experienced and very friendly pilot.
I could not believe how close to the mountain we were flying, it seemed like you could touch the glacier. When I've asked the pilot how he knew it's safe to fly that close to the mountain, he answered: "If you only knew how huge is the mountain and how still far away we are from it!"
Unbelievably high and it's hard to imagine that this tiny stripe is a road we took to come to the airport.
Watching planes taking off always gave me the buzz of travelling. I love airports for this feeling. Feeling of adventure and new exiting events in life.
Flying around the Mount Cook and seeing the ground from small and mighty Cessna plane was definitely a worthy experience!
