Shortly after 7:30 AM New York time on October 24, 2003, British Airways Flight BA002 departed from Runway 31 Left at JFK Airport. The aircraft was G-BOAG; a sharp, slender delta-wing jet carrying 100 passengers on Concorde’s final scheduled commercial flight. Up in the cockpit, Chief Concorde Pilot Captain Mike Bannister, Senior First Officer Jonathan Napier, and Flight Engineer David Hoyle prepared to fly the demanding, established noise-abatement profile known as the Canarsie departure. Because Runway 31 Left points northwest, a straight-line climb out would send the aircraft directly over the dense residential blocks of Queens. To limit noise over these nearby residential areas, the departure routed the aircraft over Jamaica Bay, requiring an early left turn after takeoff. This procedure kept the heavy sound footprint of the four Rolls-Royce Olympus engines concentrated over open water. When the brakes released, the afterburners engaged with a deep rumble that shook the airport perimeter. The jet accelerated down the concrete and lifted off into the morning sky. Early in the climb, the crew initiated the sharp left bank above the bay. The standard noise-abatement procedure called for cancelling reheat and reducing engine power to limit noise over the shoreline. Once clear of the coast, Concorde maintained a subsonic climb as it tracked away from the land. Only after reaching the designated offshore supersonic acceleration area did the crew relight the afterburners, pushing the aircraft past the sound barrier and upward toward its high-altitude supersonic cruise. Around 4:05 PM British Summer Time, the jet touched down at London Heathrow. As the aircraft curved over the bay, it marked the end of a familiar sight for New York: Concorde departing on a scheduled passenger service. That morning turn was a quiet testament to the generations of people who built, maintained and looked up at it in wonder. Supersonic flight had redefined how close the world could feel but its parting moment was defined by the manual skill of a crew gracefully guided by the shape of the coast leaving an indelible memory with the city anchored below. #planeandprop #aviation

After getting his instrument rating, Dave wanted to take his wife, Emily, to Florida (from the Windsor-Detroit area). I was happy to lend them the RV-14 because it’s the most well-equipped airplane we have access to (and it’s fast). The full episode will cover the challenging weather they faced on the trips both there AND back. Emily has a unique medical issue related to her jaw that has prevented her from enjoying the benefits of general aviation because she can’t wear headsets for more than an hour. Thanks to long time Flight Chops supporter @boseaviation , I was able to set her up with an A30 headset which solved the problem! #WhyIFly #Sponsored #FlywithBose

This unexpected opportunity at the end of the season was challenging and rewarding! Huge thanks to the team from @aura_aero_usa for trusting me with the Integral R (and for the training from Stephen Fiegel (@flyaerobatix) to get me ready to compete in it!). We captured the check out process, a training camp with Michael Goulian tightening things up, and then the competition at the @iac_hq US National Championships in Salina Kansas! And of course I’ll be sharing the IFR cross country flights in the RV-14 to and from the various training sessions and the actual competition. I am impressed with the Integral R and can’t wait to share more about this new side by side 2 place aerobatic trainer! Watch for the full episodes on the Flight Chops YouTube channel soon!

6 Apps, auf die ich als Pilotin nicht verzichten möchte! ☝🏼👩🏼‍✈️ Es gibt unzählige Apps, die uns Piloten den Alltag erleichtern. Heute stelle ich euch meine sechs persönlichen Favoriten vor, die ich regelmäßig nutze und nicht mehr missen möchte! Unbezahlte Werbung | Markennennung 1. ForeFlight - Fly Smarter and Safer! Für mich eine absolute „Essential App for Aviation“! Von der Moving Map mit GPS-Navigation über die VFR- und IFR-Flugplanung bis hin zu Wetterbriefings, NOTAMs und Flughafeninformationen ist alles dabei. Besonders spannend finde ich den neuen Glide Advisor, der die geschätzte Gleitreichweite visualisiert. Auch Kontaktdaten von Flughäfen, Operations oder Tankservices sind direkt abrufbar. 2. DWD FlugWetter Unverzichtbar bei der Flugvorbereitung! GAFOR, METAR, TAF, Niederschlagsradar und Wetterwarnungen liefern wichtige Informationen für die Flugplanung. 3. PILOTSBOOK Eine echte Herzensempfehlung! Ich nutze PILOTSBOOK bei jedem Flug und verwalte dort mein digitales Logbuch. Flugstunden, Lizenzen, Medical und Statistiken sind jederzeit griffbereit. Besonders praktisch finde ich den PDF-Export und die Kartenfunktion, die zeigt, welche Flugplätze ich bereits angeflogen habe. Kleiner Bonus: Unsere Training 4Pilots Schüler erhalten bei PILOTSBOOK einen Rabatt! 4. aerops Schon unzählige Male genutzt! Landeentgelte lassen sich an vielen Flugplätzen direkt per Smartphone bezahlen. Kein zusätzlicher Weg zum Tower! Auch PPR- und Serviceanfragen sind möglich. 5. Time Calculator Diese App nutze ich nach jedem Flug! Flugzeiten lassen sich einfach addieren und subtrahieren. So vermeide ich Rechenfehler und unnötiges Durchstreichen im Logbuch. 6. Flightradar24 Flugbewegungen weltweit nahezu in Echtzeit verfolgen und Informationen zu einzelnen Flügen abrufen. Jetzt seid ihr dran! Welche Apps dürfen bei euch im Cockpit auf keinen Fall fehlen? Nutzt ihr vielleicht Apps, die hier noch nicht dabei sind? Schreibt eure Favoriten in die Kommentare! Ich bin gespannt auf eure Empfehlungen! 👀 Transparenz: Keine bezahlten Kooperationen, außer Zusammenarbeit mit PILOTSBOOK. Erstellt mit Liebe in Canva, KI nur zur Schärfung einiger App-Screenshots genutzt.
