Do you recognize this airport ? 🩵🩵🩵 . . . 🎥©️Aviation-knowledge

Late last night in Denver, Frontier Airlines flight 4345 struck a person on the runway during its take off roll resulting in the person’s death and an engine fire. Pilots aborted the take off and the aircraft was evacuated on the runway. Authorities are investigating

A United Airlines Boeing 767 coming in to land at Newark flew dangerously low and slammed into a light pole on the NJ Turnpike. The debris shot straight into an H&S Bakery truck driving below. Watch the driver’s reaction, he had no idea what hit him.

Typical day

@airmainengineer @AVIOKNOWLEDGE I remember looking out of them on a VC10 going into Kai Tak but never had on HS748 or Vulcan.

⚠️ The challenge? These procedures are complex. They require advanced training and absolute dependence on accurate navigation data. If a pilot misses a step, it can cause a "ripple effect" of delays for everyone else. Precision is everything! 🏁 #Engineering #FlightSafety

⚖️ Why do we use them?✅ Safety: Predictable routes reduce the risk of mid-air conflicts. ✅ Efficiency: They reduce ATC radio chatter and help pilots plan fuel more accurately. ✅ Flow: They keep traffic orderly in congested airspace.

🛬 STAR (Standard Terminal Arrival Route): These bring you "down and in." Think of it as a funnel that transitions aircraft from the high-altitude cruise phase into a neat line for the final approach to the runway.

🛫 SID (Standard Instrument Departure): This is the path that takes you safely "up and out." It ensures that as soon as your wheels leave the tarmac, you follow a predictable route that keeps you clear of obstacles and other traffic.

✈️ Ever wonder how hundreds of planes leave and arrive at busy airports without bumping into each other? It’s not just luck—it’s SIDs and STARs. These structured routes are the "on-ramps" and "off-ramps" of the sky. #Aviation #AvGeek #PilotLife

🔄 Communication Styles:• Simplex: One-way street. • Half Duplex: Two-way, but you have to take turns. • Full Duplex: Two-way traffic simultaneously. The latest systems (ARINC 629) are "Multiple Source/Sink," allowing many computers to talk at once.
