12 Things Every Pilot Should Do Before Flying

It may be second nature to you, but don't forget what flying really means. 

You're about to pilot a complicated piece of equipment through the air with passengers that rely on you for safety. Here are a few things every pilot should do before takeoff:

1) Check The Logbooks

Always remember to check the aircraft logbooks before you fly. Even if the plane has been inspected, it's not technically airworthy until it's been properly signed off in the logbook. As PIC, the responsibility will fall on you for flying an un-airworthy aircraft.

9 Reasons Why You Should Get Your Instrument Rating

Getting your instrument rating is one of the best and safest things you can do as a pilot.

Here's why:

1) You'll have more situational awareness

Learning to fly in IMC shoots your situational awareness through the roof. And, you'll be more prepared for unexpected weather on any flight.

When you bank while maintaining altitude, your stall speed increases. And it's something that you need to be aware of, especially when you're in the traffic pattern. So why does stall speed increase when you start rolling left or right?

Contrails are real - they're not a government conspiracy to spray chemicals (big surprise, huh?!?). But, did you know there are two types of contrails? Aircraft can generate both aerodynamic contrails and exhaust contrails.

Contrails are "condensation trails," and they have nothing to do with chemicals. They occur when water condenses into a cloud - in either liquid or ice-crystal form. Contrails come in two varieties: aerodynamic and exhaust contrails.

They rarely happen, but these are some of the most notable uncontained engine failures in airline jet history.

1) Qantas Flight 32

On November 4th, 2010, a Qantas A380 took off from London Heathrow, bound for Sydney, Australia, with a stopover in Singapore. 4 minutes after takeoff from Singapore's Changi airport, the #2 engine developed an oil leak from a manufacturing defect, which led to an oil fire. The fire then caused the engine's Intermediate Pressure Disk to break. Three pieces of the disk broke off, puncturing the engine cowling and wing, and severing multiple sets of wires in the wing. However, the pilots were able to fly the badly damaged airplane to back to Changi airport and safely land, with no injuries to the crew or passengers.

The Age

There are some experiences that no pilot should miss out on. Here are a few things to check off on your pilot bucket list. (Remember to ALWAYS fly with an instructor if you are not properly licensed, rated, trained, or comfortable with a flight activity!)

1) Aerobatic Flying

Straight-and-level flight is nice, but seeing the world upside-down is unforgettable.

2) Complex Aircraft

While you may never need a complex aircraft rating, it's a worthwhile experience nonetheless. Find a local instructor to try it out. But please, don't forget to lower the landing gear!
