make the plane fly better it stands to reason that it needs to be lighter so that the pull of gravity will not be as great. Velocity is the initial push the plane gets when it is released. The greater push it is given the longer it will stay in flight. Velocity is directly affected by drag, which is the friction in the air that it is flying through. The lift is what keeps the plane flying and is created when flow is present. Flow is a current of air that is either flowing with or against the

Lingering in the air was the smell of Chanel and Dior from woman in high heels trying to make their flights on time. A rumbling and occasional squeaking sound was present from the countless branded luggage bags hurdling through the crowd. My head swirling, I walked further into the airport, trying to find somewhere quiet. A herd of furious and upset people

What are your longtime interests or passions? Growing up most children have an idea what they want to be based on the interest that they have. Whether to be a doctor, engineer, scientist or whatever but while I was a kid I had passion to be an airline pilot. When I think of an airline pilot, I think of it as one of the coolest job in the world. Every time I saw an airplane flying on the sky, I watched it until it was gone or until it hid in the clouds. That’s how crazy I was and that’s why I wanted

How is the size of a parachute important in skydiving? Parachutes are used for many things. They are used by race cars, space shuttles, aircraft and skydivers to help them slow down to a safe speed. The parachute slows the speeding body down because it causes air resistance, or drag. Drag is the friction between an object and the air that it is moving through. The larger an object is, the bigger the surface area it will have. This larger surface area causes more air molecules to be moved aside

Dear Jetcareers CFIs: I work at an FBO-style flight school.
