Contrails-Can we control their impact on the atmosphere?
Information to improve our chances of getting aviation to zero emissions as the ultimate goal. It’s not going to happen tomorrow but we need to start today. The information in this Youtube video is both interesting and relevant. Lower altitudes, as we know, will entail worse fuel economy but if we can find a balance it’s a win/win situation. We have to start somewhere so why not use AI to help?
Information about the basics for METARs and TAFs
This aviation Youtube video is a just a basic overview of the abbreviations and symbols used by both METAR and TAF. It’s not anything a seasoned pilot wouldn’t know but it’s a great learning tool for student pilots. Even though the video is older it’s still relevant and simple to understand. This is only a link to the first video, however, there are more in depth aviation videos by FLY8MA if you want to follow up.
Do you Need a Jet or Just Wings?
This YouTube video presents a general overview of the pros and cons of prop versus jet engines. It may be from the perspective of a Piper Cherokee guy but he definitely has some very valid points. Everything from cost of fuel, inspections and insurance to safety, to just being able to relax and enjoy the magic of flight! To be fair, I will present a general overview form the perspective of say, a Cirrus or Gulfstream pilot if I find a good one. One of you could make your own and send it in. It doesn’t have to be fancy just informative and fairly brief.
As an added aside, I have nothing against Pipers if that sounded derogatory about it coming from a “Piper guy” he has a beautiful plane, a pristine hanger and a nice easy going informative manner. I have a Piper myself and although she’s quick she’s a whole lot slower than his Cherokee.
This is my Piper and she’s ready to go! She has three sister whose names are Cessna, Cirrus and Jett. And just so we cover all the bases we own a low and slow Beach Sundowner. (and we love her too)
