While Alliance Airlines considers 80 to 100-seat jets as the best choice for regional flights, Rex think about operating the ATR 42 and 72.

There is opportunity in every crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic could present one for some of Australia's regional airlines to expand. The grounding of airline fleets globally "presents significant opportunities for Alliance [Aviation] to expand its fleet" and it is looking to raise a target A$122 mi...

POSITIVE CLIMB! GEAR UP! But are you?

Have you ever seen your colleague call positive climb while you were still actually on the runway? We have.

Is there a rush? Not really.

The displayed vertical speed information is normally based on both inertial and barometric data. If inertial data is not available, it is automatically replaced by barometric information.

Our FCTM tells us (in the V1 on rotation section) that with a positive rate of climb AND when the radio height has increased, the PM will call "positive climb". This will SUGGEST to the PF for landing gear retraction.

SUGGESTS is key here. Positive climb is not a command. It is a prompt to PF who should then look and think. Is it what we want? Is it appropriate? Is it correct?

BONUS FACT: The radio height indication changes every 10 ft down to 50 ft, then every 5 ft down to 10 ft, then every foot.

(Video just to show PFD indications during take off)

What's wrong with Boeing? It becomes worrying 🤔🤔

Among the reports that the U.S. Department of Justice is starting to investigate the production of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a specific manufacturing incident involving the aircraft has come to light. Boeing seemingly admitted that some documents regarding a Dreamliner sold to Air Canada had b...
