Congratulations! More of THIS. A $1,000 scholarship won't go too far, but anything helps. The aviation industry (well, industry in general) needs to invest in its future. I know many disagree with training contracts, but I'm still an advocate. When I was a lower-time pilot, I'd worked for a company for a couple of years but wanted to get out of twin turbines into jets. I signed a training contract to go to FlightSafety International and earn my Citation 500 series type rating. Sim training is expensive (G700 type rating = $134,000). I was more than willing to agree to a year of flying for the company that sent me. They made me sign another contract for recurrent training. No problem. After seven months, I was offered an awesome job somewhere else. I had to payback the prorated portion to quit, but the other job paid more money - so it was a win-win and I wouldn't have been offered the job without the type rating. I see nothing wrong with mutual agreements like that for the first two years of training. After that, no more contracts. Otherwise, you're an indentured servant. I've worked on both sides of the cockpit door so to justify having a company pay for your training and then quit in the first year or two isn't reasonable or moral (yes, always caveats, but in general). If we had companies like American Airlines hire students with potential, invest in their training, and then build a broader loyalty, you'll see a shift in mutual respect, a change in safety culture, and growth in the bottom-line. #aviation #aviationindustry #pilot #pilottraining #learn #fly #flight #pilot #pilotlife #airplane #aircraft #invest #innovation #employee #loyalty #businessaviation #aircraft #college #training #scholarship #information #achickinthecockpit #respect #congratulations #linkedin #conversation

🔧 **Professional Update: Cessna 152 Tyre Maintenance Experience** 🛩️ At the beginning of my second year at Department of Aeronautical Engineering, ADCET, Ashta, we had the valuable opportunity to perform maintenance on the tyres of a Cessna 152. This experience was both educational and hands-on, involving several critical steps: 1. Removal: We used a hydraulic jack to lift the aircraft and safely remove the tyres. 2. Inspection: We conducted a thorough inspection of the tyres, rims, wheels, C-clamps, and brake pads. Additionally, we checked the quality of the hydraulic fluid used for the brakes. 3. Disassembly: Following the maintenance manual of the Cessna 152, we completely disassembled the components. 4. Cleaning and Reassembly: After meticulously washing all the parts, we applied grease and necessary oils before reassembling everything back onto the aircraft. 5. Documentation: We recorded the maintenance work in the Cessna 152 log book to ensure accurate and up-to-date records. I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our senior, Sandip Waghmode, and our faculty in-charge, Sanoj Puthussery Sir, for their expert guidance and support throughout this process. Their mentorship was instrumental in making this experience highly educational and rewarding. #AviationMaintenance #Cessna152 #ProfessionalExperience #ThankYou #Mentorship #AerospaceEngineering #HandsOnTraining

In the powerplant line maintenance course, I learned how to handle both reciprocating and turbine aircraft engines, focusing on installation, inspection, and troubleshooting in accordance with FAA requirements. This training considerably increased my technical skills in aircraft repair, stressing the necessity of precision and safety. The training not only provided me with practical skills, but it also laid the groundwork for future learning in aviation technology and certifications, coinciding with my career goals in aircraft maintenance

#humour #humor #humorheals #jokes PJ's to liven up your day:   Passenger (to Conductor): Is the train running on time? Conductor: No, on electricity. ********************** Air-Hostess (To passenger): Window or Aisle? Passenger: Window or you'll what? ************** Student(to Engineer): How does this aircraft work? Engineer: Which Craft (Witchcraft)? Student: Oh, I thought it was jet fuel. *********** Pilot (to co-pilot): Why did you learn flying? Co-pilot: So that I could overcome my biggest fear. Pilot: Heights? Co-Pilot: No. Dying alone. Laugh (or cry) and spread the word around !!

Get excited about the success of your aviation maintenance technician school and watch this video…twice! As you watch, keep an eye out for: ✈ Females knocking elbows with the boys to get the same job done ✈ The industry support on display from the hangar ceiling ✈ The sneak peek into the Wood, Dope, and Fabric Shop ✈ The lollipops spinning the radial engine shafts ✈ The dedication these kids have for their craft Okay, okay. I think you get it. I’m excited about seeing my old high school. Aside from chills, those coveralls brought back memories of buckets of prop wash and left-hand ¼” drive sockets. 😂 Use this piece: 💡 To call upon the future AMTs in your region to start their journey. 💡 To steal marketing ideas for your school. 💡 To find your story. Not big on videos, no problem. I can you help tell your story through educational emails. If this piece moved you, DM me to discuss YOUR school’s message. If you’re curious about how effective email education assets are, DM me. Our conversation is not a commitment, it’s discovery and exploration into opportunities for your prospect’s awareness and future success. (Remember, watch twice and take notes on the second viewing.)

AIRSHIP RULES COMMENTS TODAY is the last day for public comments on the FAA's new MOSAIC rules for Light Sport Aircraft. I gave some, here is the first. Comment: AIRSHIP PILOT TRAINING by Jesse Blenn I am an FAA licensed Airframe Mechanic (Certificate Number 3240001) and have consulted on airship designs for 9 projects in 7 countries during the past 35 years. We have a project in Costa Rica to develop improved battery electric airships..... Like any airship operator, we will need qualified pilots, which are hard to find. There is a new interest in airships due to their low power use and thus ease of adaptation to electric propulsion by achieving greater range than airplanes with reasonable on-board energy storage weights. I was on the original ASTM F37 Lighter-than-air Subcommittee some 20 years ago, and am again on that subcommittee developing improved consensus standards, mostly related to improved safety. Airships are inherently very safe due to their low operating speeds (usually under 50 knots) and also very low landing speeds (under 15 knots). They are generally easy to fly because of their slow response and no roll control needed. There are several new electric airships projects started worldwide. The most advanced are the Airlander by Hybrid Air Vehicles in the UK, the Flying Whales project in France, and the Pathfinder 1, now flying, by LTA Research in California. There is interest in airships especially for cargo delivery to remote areas such as northern Canada (low cost landing sites) and disaster relief. Unlike the past several years, there is thus likely to be a greater interest in airships over the next few years, including some that will qualify under MOSAIC rules. However, there exists a worrisome vacuum in the pilot training area of airships. Nearly all the available airships are 5 to 14 seaters operated for public relations contracts and are not open to training pilots beyond their own needs. These airships (Lightships, Skyships and Zeppelin NTs) cost from a couple million to 20 million dollars, and costs thousands of dollars per hour to operate due to either their large ground crews or high purchase prices, making the cost of pilot training – even if it were available – beyond the reach of most pilots. For public relations contracts, they usually land only once or a couple of times per day, not conducive to dual purpose use including flight training. REQUEST: Allow MOSAIC category airships to be used in aerial work for compensation as accepted pilot training airships for commercial airships up to 10 seats as covered in Airship Design Criteria. The standards could be developed by the ASTM Lighter-than-air Subcommittee.
