FIRST SOLO!! Today is a day I will never forget. After many hours and many months of training, I finally flew my first solo. Huge milestone and one step closer to earning my PPL!

KITTYHAWK – PART 3 OF 7 Learning to Think, Not Just Learning to Fly When I started developing my training ideas, one thing became increasingly clear: teaching someone to fly is not just about teaching them which buttons to press or which procedures to follow. It is also about teaching them how to think. Consider the modern aircraft flight deck. Every switch, button, lever and handle has a specific purpose. Some controls can have immediate and significant consequences if operated incorrectly. For example: * What happens if a pilot cutoff engine fuel control?What systems will be affected?What are the redundancies available? * What are the consequences of pulling a fire handle? * What happens when an aircraft experiences an engine flameout?...more

𝗔𝗶𝗿 𝗦𝗲𝗿𝗯𝗶𝗮 𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲-𝗣𝗼𝗱𝗴𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮 𝗳𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝟮𝟭 𝘁𝗼 𝟯𝟰 𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸 ⬆️ ✈️ Airports of Montenegro 📆 From 28 March 2027, Air Serbia will increase the number of flights between Belgrade and Podgorica from 21 to 34 per week. Podgorica will thus become one of the destinations in the Serbian national airline’s regional network with the highest number of weekly flights. “Increasing the number of flights between Belgrade and Podgorica is an important step towards further strengthening connectivity between Serbia and Montenegro. Podgorica is consistently among the most popular destinations in Air Serbia’s network, as confirmed by this year’s results. Between January and September, more than 160,000 passengers travelled on flights between Belgrade and Podgorica, representing an increase of around five per cent compared with the same period last year. The additional flights are a response to sustained strong demand on this route and will also provide passengers with even more convenient connections, via Belgrade, to a large number of cities across our network,” said Air Serbia CEO Jiří Marek. ⏲️ In addition to the existing daily flights departing Belgrade at 06:30, 13:35 and 20:25, and Podgorica at 08:10, 15:15 and 22:05, the airline is introducing additional departures from Belgrade at 10:00 (daily) and 17:20 (every day except Sunday), and from Podgorica at 11:30 (daily) and 18:55 (every day except Sunday).

🎄 Tired of hearing "Driving Home for Christmas" for the 100th time? 🚗💨 A pilot friend of mine ✈️ has started publishing AI-generated Christmas melodies 🎶🤖. He goes by “Ganthem”, named after a tiny village in Sweden 🇸🇪❄️. Right now he has about 80–90 listeners a month 🎧, but who knows where this could go… ✨🚀 Give it a listen and spread some festive cheer! 🎅🎁 (Not paid advertising 😉) https://youtu.be/_RJyxAzEJaw?si=kMs0JUSkClZ4b_t7

At some point earlier today there were 6(!) Pilatus Test flights in the air at the same time.
