Aviation LO Down

The FAA will supposedly be hiring new air traffic controllers this January. Learn about some facts of the job on my YouTube channel! In this episode, the first of season 4 of Aviation LO Down, I describe how the video went absolutely viral, and how you can apply if you're interested! I also go on an absolutely unscripted rant about beer prices at concerts in Saratoga Springs, New York.

How one student pilots video managed to demonstrate one of the biggest fundamental rules in aviation, and how one flight school took a potentially bad situation and made it into a beautiful and relevant display of an extremely important teaching point.

Drones. We all have seen them. We all know about them. They can do amazing things. But what about their insane popularity and growth that is expected over the next few years? Actually, it has already begun. Despite their incredible use and technology, from Long Beach, New York, to Dubai, drones can pose a serious risk for pilots of manned aircraft. Next week, the FAA has brought this issue into light with the 'National Drone Safety Awareness Week'.  On this episode, I explain some real world examples and things people are doing with drones that is less than ideal, and share some stories from an AOPA article on drone safety this week.

Do you have a drone? Ever had an encounter with one?

Aircraft and the modern aviation system has enabled humans to fly across the entire planet. But can the human body and brain itself actually handle it? Join me on this discussion that explores some concepts on sleep mitigation, and how it has been handled throughout the past century. With a new era in mind, Qantas, the airline that is experimenting with flying from NYC (JFK) to Sydney (Australia); a nearly 20 hour flight, is ready to see how this flight affects people. Hear how the airline is experimenting with lighting, work outs, and well-timed meals to help the human body adjust to such an unnatural environment!

Over the past 2 weeks I have gotten over 250 e-mails of people asking me if Planehub will become a real website. Well, the URL is for sale for $14,000, so if someone wants to donate some money, you know what you can do! But in all seriousness, @LOaltitude has been having many great stories; this morning, I was tipped off to a video that truly epitomizes the 'ERAU-esque' qualities of my followers: A German woman who has been in a 5 year relationship with a 737-800. 

AIRSHOW SEASON will be here before you know it. Are you getting ready? I will need a small team of help, so if you're interested, e-mail me!

Stay tuned for a brand new exclusive interview THIS WEEK!

London based Thomas Cook, founded in 1841, was the oldest running transportation company in the world. But this weekend, that all came to an abrupt end, as the company ceased operation. Thousands are out of a job, and many thousands more are stranded around the world. Here's my take on why a once legendary company, that was started decades before the flight of the Wright Flyer, ultimately met its fate in the instant gratification, social media based modern day.

Draco, one of my favorite airplanes EVER built, has crashed this week in Reno! Luckily, everyone, including builder and friend Mike Patey walked away, and even made a video about it. But it's a video worth watching. Can't wait to see his other builds to come...

Also, DC-10 reputation vs the 737 MAX Reputation, and how to simulate ATC audio!

Also, shout-out to my friends at CFS (Communicating For Safety) in Vegas this week!
