First pilot completes Redbird's experimental training. First pilot completes Redbird's experimental training By Alyssa J. Miller Pilots pursuing advanced training and ratings regularly use full-motion flight simulators; some gain type certificates in sims having never flown the actual aircraft.
How would that training format translate to primary instruction? Redbird Skyport is putting an experimental training program to the test at its headquarters in San Marcos, Texas, to see if completing all training in a simulator first—including mock checkrides—before beginning flight training is “a viable training method,” said Redbird Skyport Marketing Director Josh Harnagel. The company’s first test case, Abraham McIntyre, executive director of Bahamas Methodist Habitat, earned his private pilot certificate May 7 after a four-week course with 33 hours of simulator training followed by 41 hours of flight time.
AOPA followed McIntyre through the ups and downs of the training process. Photo Tour of Emirates Airlines Crew Training in Dubai. Yes. The building is designed to look like an airliner. Only in Dubai. It was surreal pulling up to the Emirates Airline training facility in Dubai to find that part of the building was designed to look like an airliner — engines and all. In retrospect, it shouldn’t be too surprising, since this is the land of bigger and better and Emirates Airline seems to fit right in. Emirates currently has a fleet of over 175 aircraft, flying to 120 destinations and they have no plans to slow down their growth.
The airline hopes to hire around 4,000 additional cabin crew by the end of 2012. Emirates is not an airline that cares only about the number of employees, but also the quality.

Flight Training: New Pilot's Guide to ATC Communication. By Robert I. Snow There is an art to using the right words when you communicate with air traffic control (ATC). Effective aviation phraseology combines brevity with the transfer of complete and correct information. Long, detailed transmissions ensure the controller receives the needed information, but these monologues also tie up the frequency.
If the controller is working five other airplanes and needs to issue timely control instructions, he can't do it until you release the microphone button. This delay may affect the safety of the other airplanes. Transmissions that are too brief usually result in the controller asking you to provide more detail. So how do you learn the right mix? Taking AIM The Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM) is the best reference for learning good ATC communication skills and phraseology. Learning the language Your first and most important lesson as you learn to use the right words is do not be afraid of using the wrong words.

Accept nothing less than excellence Our engineering team designed the Skyhawk’s cockpit with the latest in avionic technology and the most advanced application of ergonomic sciences available. The flight deck is powered by the Garmin G1000® avionics suite, including optional integrated Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™) and an automatic flight control system. Two 10.4-inch, high-resolution liquid crystal displays show flight instrumentation, traffic data, digital altitude, moving maps, navigation, communication, and other real-time flight-critical data. See the future The Skyhawk’s flight deck can include the optional Garmin Synthetic Vision Technology (SVT™), which offers sophisticated graphics modeling of terrain, traffic, and obstacles in the flight path.
The system looks at the entire flight path via satellite and renders a three-dimensional “virtual reality” landscape, which is displayed on one or both primary flight displays. Digital weather radar. Airplane Flying Handbook.
