The go-around is one of the most undertrained decisions in GA - learn why pilots talk themselves out of it and how to build the habit before it matters.
PatternACAS X replaces TCAS II's 1990s-era lookup table with a real-time dynamic programming algorithm designed for drones, eVTOLs, and modern mixed airspace.
VectorThe power-off 180 tests whether you can land without an engine - here's what the ACS requires, where students fail, and how to build real judgment before checkride day.
PatternThe FAA's Law of Primacy explains why first-learned flying habits are the hardest to change - and why your first instructor shaped more than you realize.
TowerBefore crossing the Atlantic, Charles Lindbergh spent years as a barnstormer, building the real-world skills that made his historic 1927 flight possible.
TaildraggerThe Valdez Fly-In and STOL Competition is North America's premier short-field landing event, where backcountry pilots stop aircraft in under 100 feet against a backdrop of glacier peaks and Prince William Sound.
RampAmerican Airlines opens a 3,700 sq ft Grab and Go lounge at JFK Terminal 8, targeting time-pressed travelers who have lounge access but not lounge time.

VectorBoeing's F-47 NGAD fighter has been spotted over Nevada with a reported tailless canard design that signals a fundamental shift in American fighter aerodynamics.
TowerFAR 91.151 sets a 45-minute VFR fuel reserve as a legal floor - not a planning target. Here's how to build a complete cross-country fuel plan and manage it in the air.
PatternClass Bravo airspace requires an explicit ATC clearance before entry - not just radio contact or a squawk code - a distinction that catches VFR pilots off guard more than almost any other rule.
PatternRyanair is flying Boeing 737 MAX 8-200s on routes up to 2,000 nautical miles in 2026, reshaping European leisure aviation economics.
TowerFAR 91.113 establishes the right-of-way hierarchy and situational rules every pilot must know - and correctly apply - when sharing airspace.
PatternThe AOPA Foundation's Rusty Pilots program has returned 15,000 lapsed aviators to active flying since 2013, offering a structured path back to currency for pilots who stepped away.
TowerBoeing's IT outage on June 30, 2026 disrupted deliveries on the last day of Q2 - the worst possible moment in the company's ongoing FAA recovery.
TowerOnly the United States and China have the industrial depth and defense budgets to build a sixth-generation fighter without partners - here's why.
TowerMost pilots renting aircraft wrongly assume the FBO's insurance covers them - here's what your rental agreement actually says and what you're personally liable for.
TowerThe 'impossible turn' after engine failure on departure isn't physically impossible - it's procedurally dangerous without pre-planned altitude minimums and aircraft-specific data.
TowerBritish Airways' 2020 retirement of the 747 quietly eliminated 30 business class seats per departure - a fleet transition driven by fuel math, not passenger experience.
TowerLong before formal training begins, small airport culture quietly produces pilots through fence lines, hangar conversations, and the informal mentorship of ramp rats.
