Private Pilot Flight

What is the best flight school in Atlanta for my private pilot's license?

There is no "best" flight school in Atlanta but there are several good ones. You may even want to drive out of the city a ways to find a school that suits you. I suggest that you start researching how to intelligently choose flight schools and instructors then start visiting some and asking questions. There are a lot of airports with flight schools within 50 miles of downtown ATL. In general, the closer in you are (Peachtree Dekalb, or example) the higher the cost is goint to be, not in just hourly rates but in the amount of extra time it takes to fly to / from a practice area and how much time is wasted sitting on the ground waiting to take off. For a PPL, I suggest training at a more rural airport that isn't too busy, but commute time / distance will of course play a part in your decision.

There are dozens of useful articles to be found on the internet regarding this subject. You might start here http://www.aopa.org/learntofly/startfly/…I also highly recommend that you spend $35 and order this: http://learn-to-fly-book.arizona-flight-… It will save you a lot of money and potential heartache, guaranteed.

Do not let flight school advertising and literature to overly influence your judgement. The intent of such things is to get you to spend your money, not to inform you of the true facts. Do your research carefully. Also be advised that course costs quoted by schools are usually based on earning a pilot certificate in the minimum legal number of flight hours. The national average for thre private pilot certificate is 65 hours, about 40% higher than the minimum. If you are quoted $7,000 for a 40 hour course, plan on spending $10,000 to $12,000.

How to get a Private Pilot License

There are quite a few things that you need to know to be able to get a private pilot license and be able to learn to fly a small private airplane. If you want to be able to get private pilot training you need to be at least Sixteen (16) years of age and be able to fluently speak, understand and read English (this is because English is the only language that the tests are written in and spoken in the flight control towers worldwide). You need to go through several steps in order to show that you know what you are doing to the satisfaction of the flight school you attend, the state you live in and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

The first step that you need to take to learn to fly is finding out where the local flight school is and start inquiring about how you go about enrolling. You need to be aware that you are going to be required to take a medical exam that is required by federal law under the FAA’s rules to clear you of any medical conditions that could keep you from getting a private pilot license. The FAA has very strict rules in place to make sure that those who do have a pilot’s license will not black out while in flight or create any other types of safety hazards to and for themselves and all other aircraft that are in the air around them. Once you are medically cleared, you will start your private pilot training with Ground School classes.

You need to make it completely through your Ground School classes (which are going to run between three and four thousand dollars) that are part of your private pilot training and will run for three, four or five weeks (depending on the school in question) to be able and eligible to take the written test that the FAA created to test the knowledge and skills of those seeking a private pilot license. It is after you have finished the Ground School course that you will actually get into a plane and learn to fly it hands on. You need a minimum of Thirty (30) and maximum of Forty (40) hours real flight time with your instructor. After that you will do a “Solo” flight (without the instructor aboard) to prove that you know what you are doing.

The last couple of things that you need to do in the process of private pilot training are to take the true Final Exam that is referred to as a “Check Ride” that will grant you your private pilot license if you pass. The FAA will give you your pilot’s license that also carries a Visual Flight Rating so that you will be able to fly a small private plane (single-engine only) during good weather providing you have good clear visibility. This is all part of the deal when you want to learn to fly a small private plane for your own use.

Flight Training Loans and Grants - How To Pay For Flight Training?

What are the best ways to fund your flight and pilot training career through loans, grants or other means? I really don't know much about this, so guides and sites that give specific details would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Flight schools allow you to pay for your flight training on a "pay as you go" basis, so that you pay only when you complete a flight lesson. Some schools also have partnerships with banks or financial institutions that provide loans for flight training to eligible students.

Scholarships are the most direct way to finance your flight training, but they don't work for all. Based on your requirements, there are a number of little-known ways that you can use to fund your pilot training career.

Cost for Flight Training Schools

In entering Aviation schools, cost is the very first thing that most students consider. Flight training schools do not have fixed costs because of the many factors affecting the cost of training for each student.

In the market, consumers play a big role in controlling the cost. It's a partnership between the student and the school. Training cost varies depending on the aptitude of the student and the amount of time a student can devote to training. For instance, a pilot student that can train more frequently can accomplish the training in fewer hours. Additionally, a student who studies consistently and diligently is better prepared for learning and can accomplish the training in the most efficient manner.

Usually, flight training in the US costs around $15,000 to $19,000 USD for the Private Pilot License. For Commercial Pilot License (CPL), training will cost roughly $50,000 to $60,000 USD for 1-2 year course. Some students are choosing more structured flight training programs and get the CPL as a full time student, which is expected to be around 4-6 months.

There are several options for flight training.  Some US universities offer a 4 year degree programs for Aviation courses. Alternatively, choosing military service can be a no-cost option. Other training options include the Accelerated Flight Training where a Private PiIot License can be done in 3-4 weeks and an Instrument Flight Training can be done in just 10 days. Accelerated Flight Training is good because it is full time and more student-focused. It is a good thing to know that Accelerated Flight Schools are located in the United States.

Aviation schools are not after the money that they will be getting from their consumers but the willingness to impart the knowledge that they have for younger generation to learn. The high cost of training schools come with the assurance that while in training; you will learn quality education and insured with the flight practices that you will be doing in the future.

Coast Flight Academy is willing to give everything to make you the best pilot in the future. Fly to your dreams at Coast Flight Academy.

Engine Aircraft

Has a seperate engine to run the superchargers for a multi-engine aircraft been done?

Seems like running a diesel engine, perhaps with a compressed air storage tank might increase the efficiency of a supercharged engine.
The engine powering the prop would be relieved of the energy robbing job of forcing air into the engine.
Been done? Would it work?

Back in the old days of radial engines the need to maintain horsepower at altitude became harder and harder as heavy transport aircraft and military bombers reached higher altitudes and thinner air.
They came up with the idea of Turbo Compounding an engine. They used the exhaust gas to spin an impeller or turbine wheel simular to how engines are Turbocharged today. However they didn't use this energy to pump air into the induction syster like a Turbocharger does.
The impeller or turbine powered and applied energy through a series of clutches directly back into the crankshaft. Wright built a 18 cylinder radial engine, the Wright R-3350 Turbo-Compounded Cyclone. It used three exhaust powered turbines to drive the clutches and apply it to the crankshaft. It was one of the most if not the most powerful aircraft engine of it's day. I believe the origional version produced somewhere around 2700 horsepower, and Turbo-Compounded it jumped up to about 3600 horsepower. The engine was also centrifically supercharged for the induction system to allow it to maintain manifold pressure at altitude. It worked well as you can see from the horsepower increase. However this was all taking place at the Dawn of the Turbine Engines. And with the success of the Turbine Engine development stopped for large displacement multi-cylinder piston engines. I am pretty sure that Wright was the only engine builder to use turbo-compounding, and it was also specific to just this one engine. As successful as this technology was, I would have to think that it was pretty maintance intensive to keep the system up and running. Just thought I would share this with you.

Flight News On Aircraft Owners & Pilots Association Annual Aviation Summit Held In Long Beach,California In 2010 Raises Spirits

Nearly ten thousand pilots and aviation enthusiasts gathered in Long Beach, California, recently for the 2010 Aircraft Owners and Pilots Associations (AOPA) annual Aviation Summit to hear from industry leaders, see the latest and greatest, from aircraft to engines and avionics to pilot supplies, and to attend more than 60 hours of educational forums.

Hundreds more from the local community came out to see the aircraft on display at Airport fest, which was free and open to the public. Registered attendance for the 2010 Aviation Summit was 9746 and altogether 1101 aircraft flew in for the three-day event.

At Airport fest, 11373 people-a mix of registered attendees and members of the local community –came out to get an up-close look at all the planes. Three days of beautiful weather brought throngs of people to the airport, where an array of more than 80 aircraft provided a chance to see how far aviation has advanced.

Glass cockpit avionics, ballistic parachutes, and other safety features were on prominent display. Exhibitors and members are already looking forward to next years AOPA Aviation Summit, to be held next September in Hartford, Connecticut. More than 100 booths have already been reserved for next year by exhibitors at this year Aviation Summit.

The main hall at the 2010 event hosted about 500 exhibitors, and the schedule included programmes and speakers for new pilots, seasoned fliers and enthusiasts. A variety of social events and fundraisers were held.

Among the industry updates, cirrus Aircraft co-founder, Dale Klapmeier, discussed the Vision SF50 personal jet and the new perspective ESP flight-stability-augmentation system.

The Terrafugia crew showed their proof-of-concept "flying car" inside the main exhibit hall. Cessna and Bye Energy had an update on their progress toward building and electric-powered Skyhawk

Long Beach Airport hosted static displays, including Fifi; the only flying B-29 Superfortress.To get to the show saw Fifi make its first long cross-country flight in six years. The Commemorative Air Forces (CAF) freshly re-engined B-29 Fifi is the only airworthy example of its kind anywhere in the world and it was on display as part of AOPAs Summit.

The aircraft is running on four new custom engines that are a cross between the R-3350-95W and the R-3350-26WD .They were installed through two years hard work of volunteers and thanks largely to the financial backing of Jim Cavanaugh.CAF plans to take Fifi on tour soon.

Long Beach, 38th-largest city in the USA, has grown with the development of high-technology and aerospace industries in the area. It is known for the homes of major aerospace companies. Douglas Aircraft Company (later McDonnell Aircraft Corporation and now part of Boeing) had plants at the Long Beach Airport where the companies built aircraft for World War 11, and later built DC-8s, DC-9s, DC-10s, and MD-11s.

Boeing built the Boeing 717 until 2006 and continues to build the C-17 Globe master 111 strategic airlifter in Long Beach .Even after greatly reducing the number of local employees in recent years, Boeing is still the largest private employer in the city.

More than 100 flight training professionals, from certificated flight instructors through educational content providers to flight training device and aircraft manufacturers, gathered in Long Beach to attend a day-long Flight Training Summit Sponsored by the AOPAs flight training magazine. During the day, they heard new research into why student pilots drop out, and discussed how to help more of them complete their training.

The summit meeting was the first public step in AOPAs flight training student retention initiative.

"This is beginning of a national conversation on growing the pilot population," said AOPA president and CEO, Craig L. Fuller, during his opening address. "It is something that will affect all of us for years to come. I believe we can make a difference to the future of general aviation, but only by working together."

Electric Cessna 172

Bye Energy says its electric-powered Cessna 172 will be much more than an air show curiosity .In fact, the company told the press that it hoped to revolutionize the Part 23 training market with the aircraft.

"Our clear focus is mainstream aviation," company president, George Bye, said."It's ideal for training."

Bye said the aircraft would be a two-place model with an endurance of two hours on a combination of battery power, solar and power reclaimed from wing tip devices intended to capture vortex energy in flight and by the push on the propeller during descent. He said the company intended it to be"the point of entry for new pilots."

Bye added that the 172 was the ideal platform for the aircraft because it was already the most popular training aircraft in the world. By making it electric, operating costs would drop dramatically (he is predicting $ 5-$10 an hour in energy costs) and the TBO of the 180-horse-power, 42-pound engine was estimated at as much as 25000 hours.

The resulting 172, which the company hopes will fly in early 2011, will look a little different. The cowling will be tapered for the much smaller motor and that means virtually the entire propellers thrust will be used for movement, rather than the significant amount that is used for engine cooling in current models. The conforming aircraft will have a six-bladed composite propeller but the proof of concept will have a conventional two-blade propeller. The weight shed by getting rid of the piston engine and the fuel it needs will be taken up by lithium ion batteries and the weight and balance is not expected to change.

New R66 Makes Its Debut

Robinsons R66 hopped over from its home port Torrance. It is a newly certified five-place Rolls-Royce turbine-powered helicopter now available from Robinson, which hopes to fit the aircraft into the market between its own very popular piston R44 and more expensive light turbine helicopters.

The turbine blends vastly improved high altitude performance and load carrying capabilities with a moderate increase in fuel burn. The R66 burns about22 gallons in the same hour its piston sibling burns closer to 15.

As company president Kurt Robinson told the press, aside from the added capability and some nuances specific to turbine helicopter operation" the aircraft actually handles very similar to an R44, it just does it with a 300-horsepower Rolls-Royce turbine."

Cirrus Sends Upbeat Signals

Preference for Cirrus aircraft continues at all time high levels as the newest model in the best selling line-the SR22T-made its global debut.

"We see several positive factors combining to push our piston market share higher in a tough market" noted Todd Simmons, vice president, marketing."Most impactful in the third quarter was the introduction of the SR22T with its all-new TCM TSIO-550-K engine installation.

"This latest iteration in the best-selling SR22 line is not only a performance leader but also defines the path forward around future fuels.

"For the third quarter, the new model accounted for nearly 40% of the total deliveries right out of the gate .Additional new product features including Electronic Stability and Protection in the Cirrus Perspective by Garmin avionics suite, certified flight into known icing, and new personalization options are driving sales and delivery activity as well," he said.

Simmons added: "Of couse, the airframe parachute is as much a topic of discussion today as it was when we introduced CAPS as standard on every Cirrus more than a decade ago. The only difference is now we don't talk about how it works or why to have it, but instead what an invaluable safety feature it has proven to be and why would anyone own a plane in this class without it."

Mustang Gains Popularity

The Citation Mustang, already a star as an entry-level business jet around the globe, is fast becoming one of the most versatile as well, as customers continue to expand its role, thanks to its performance efficiency and low operating costs.

"We knew the Citation Mustang would be popular the world over as a business jet ,both as an owner-flown aircraft and in traditional  on-demand  roles, but we are finding our customers leading us to define new applications such as training and special mission work," said Jack Pelton,Cessna Chairman, president and CEO at AOPA Summit.

Earlier this year, Cessna delivered five Mustangs to Singapore Airlines for its pilot training programme.In July, Cessna teamed with Spectrum Aeromed to offer a medical evacuation system for the Mustang.

Cessna recently announced a new High Sierra Edition Mustang featuring luxury editions of the three currently offered interiors, a special paint scheme, a Garmin G100 with synthetic vision technology, electronic charts and locking fuel caps, as well as unique service and parts programmes.

Cessna announced that production of the 162 Sky catchers continued to increase. Cessna was on target to delivery 30 Sky catchers by the end of the year and more than 150 in 2011.

The Sky catcher features the Garmin G300 avionics suite and a Teledyne Continental O200D engine. The two-seat, single-engine aircraft has maximum speed of 118 knots with a maximum range of 470 nautical miles.

Piper Planes on Display

Piper exhibited a mock-up of its new single-engine, single-pilot business jet. In addition, the company displayed other single-engine aircraft, including the turboprop Piper Meridian and Matrix piston-powered cabin class aircraft, Archer light single and Piper Sport LSA.

"This will be the first time that the Piper jet Altaire mock-up is on the West Coast, and we are anticipating strong interest at this important AOPA venue," said Randy Groom, Piper executive vice president. "It is the logical extension of the renowned Piper single-engine product line that aircraft owners and pilots have been aspiring to for decades," he added.

WAAS/LPV Upgrade on Premier IA

Hawker Beech craft Services announced at the summit that it was taking orders and scheduling wide area augmentation system (WAAS) upgrades on Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21-equipped Premier IA aircraft.

This installation follows the introduction of the King Air C90GTi and 200/300 upgrades announced earlier this year.

The HBS Premier IA WAAS upgrade offers operational flexibility and cost savings associated with direct and curved area navigation (RNAV) routes.WAAS RNAV offers improved access to special use airspace, high traffic and/or terrain challenged airports.

There are currently more than 2300 LPV approaches certified and in use today. WAAS LPV approaches provide decision heights as low as 200 feet with one half mile visibility .The result is improved safety and cost savings associated with the reduction of missed approaches and flights to alternate airports.

WAAS upgrades for the Premier I, Hawker 400XP /Beech craft 400A and early model Hawker 800XP aircraft equipped with Honeywell flight management systems are currently in process.

Twin Commander Enthusiastic

Twin Commander LLC is pleased with the response to its Airport fest display at AOPA Aviation Summit. "The annual AOPA conference is a great way to meet owner-pilots who are interested in performance aircraft," noted  Twin Commander president, Matt Isley,"and this years event did not disappoint .The crowds were large and enthusiastic  and we saw steady traffic all three days," he said.

"We've found that a lot of customers who are looking for an aircraft that has 300-knot cruise speed capability and a proven and tested airframe, are selecting the Twin Commander," noted Aero Airs Richard Urban, a long-time customer.

Twin Commanders Airport fest display featured a recently refurbished 690B Twin Commander owned and operated by Aero Air.

The immaculate 690B featured upgrade Honeywell TPE3311-10T engines, a sate-of-the –art Garmin panel with G600 electronic flat-panel flight and multi-function displays and GNS530 and 430 WAAS-capable flight management systems ,a new paint and interior.

Utility Aircraft

Is there a more affordable to acquire and maintain GA, Piston powered aircraft than the Cessna 150 Commuter?

I do not make much money and what I do make goes to a sizable mortgage and utility bills...but I want to fly!

My local airport provides very affordable tie-downs and is across the street from my abode. Flying for me will be far more expensive than inconvenient. I have fixated on the Cessna 150...perhaps I am overlooking an even less expensive GA aircraft?

The C-150 is one of the cheapest to own. Don't just think about the cost of purchase, cost of continued ownership can be pretty high for any plane. Other potential choices are: Piper Colt, or Pacer, Grumman AA1, Beech B19, Stinson 108, Taylorcraft BC12D, Aeronca Champ, Ercoupe 415. Many of these planes are old, and out of production. That makes them fairly cheap to buy, and a bit more to maintain.

Look at total cost of ownership, not just purchase price. It's a much different animal than car ownership.

Unmanned aircraft solutions are setup for tremendous growth

Unmanned aircraft systems are attaining a degree of relatively early maturity. Fleets of unmanned aircraft systems have started to evolve. The U.S. Army has attained a million flight hours for its unmanned aircraft systems fleet.

 

Military unmanned aircraft systems serve the ability to provide automated process useful for fielding an adaptable, mobile army. Automation of process has long been used by the military with the United states hoping to attain 1 / 3 of their forces composed of robots and unmanned vehicles by 2015. The unmanned aircraft can follow a manned vehicle, moving items and facilitative logistics in a very cost efficient manner.

 

Military unmanned drones support a shift in the very fundamental objective of military action. Military action has now turned into a matter of protecting a nations's very own borders. The US isn't in Iraq or even Afghanistan for any other cause than to secure the usa borders, prevent criminals from blowing up buildings or otherwise producing mayhem inside the inner borders of the United states.

 

Unmanned aircraft system (UAS) is utilized by the U . S . Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and department of defense (DOD). Advanced systems include ground stations and various other elements as well as the aircraft. UAS is utilized by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) as well as other government aviation regulating associations.

 

The unique combination of high-resolution imagery, decreased operational expense, and long-term persistence at a location give the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) opportunity to achieve airborne monitoring. The small size of the unmanned aerial systems (UAS) means they are tricky to identify. Intruders are generally detected with out giving away the technique for detection.

 

Infrared and color video is streamed instantly. The operator is capable of doing real time monitoring. A three-axis gimbaled camera mount is vital for success in this particular role. It permits the camera to stay fixed on a point of interest while the plane moves into a better position.

 

MLB flew a Bat as part of an exhibition of UAV abilities for the US Departments of Defense and Homeland Security at a Navy airbase in Maryland. The Bat flew a perimeter surveillance profile. Circling and direct fly-overs were possible. Fixed points and also indirect shots can be imaged. A perimeter fence could be implemented. The unit can be retasked during the flight to investigate an event.

 

Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) monitoring functions have powered need for a range of types. Unmanned systems values and capabilities relate to low risk and cost-effectiveness: UASs are affordable solutions to construct and obtain. They are alot more expendable than manned solutions.

 

Persistent surveillance is a benefit. UASs may stay over and close to targets for far longer as compared to manned airplanes. They offer precision strike. Unmanned Combat Aerial Systems (UCASs) are a significant weapon in the precision strike arsenals as countries deal with contingencies within urban, maritime or difficult to access locations.

 

Tactical and combat reconnaissance relates to lightweight, simple to construct and launch UASs. These enables operators to see around corners as well as over obstacles in urban settings. Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)can fly directly into caves, ravines and thick canopied woodlands. They can also deliver highly specific intelligence plus a clear situational understanding of the impending threatening environment.

 

MQ-1 Predator UAVs furnished with Hellfire missiles are used as systems for hitting ground targets. Armed Predators are used for hitting high profile terrorist leaders.
