If you're a pilot, you've probably used Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) lights during your final approach to landing. But do you know how they work? Here's what you need to know.
Traffic patterns are designed with specific procedures for a reason. Here's what can happen when one pilot doesn't follow them and creates a conflict, risking a mid-air collision.
We've all seen circling minimums published on regular approach charts. But have you ever flown an approach that wasn't designated to any particular runway, and has nothing but circling minimums published?
Have you ever seen your descent rate exceed 1,000 feet per minute on an instrument approach? Here's why you should take corrective action if it happens.
While there are plenty of reasons why you should reject a takeoff, the key is having a solid plan in place every time you advance the power for takeoff.
After flying an instrument approach, a pilot performed a visual go-around after floating down the runway and re-entered the traffic pattern in visual conditions.
Something as small as an incorrect transponder setting can lead to an accident if you allow yourself to become distracted. Here's how this pilot nearly lost control on takeoff, and what you can do to avoid the same mistake.
Have you ever practiced a spin? If you have (and even if you haven't), you've probably heard the recovery acronym "PARE". So how do you fly each step in the PARE maneuver? We'll explain...
