An Air Traffic Control epiphany. #airtrafficcontrol #avgeek #pilotsofinstagram #atc instagr.am/p/DZlvaJcRRUw/

what’s the difference between an aircraft deviating in non-Radar or in Radar coverage? #airtrafficcontrol #avgeek #pilotsofinstagram #atc instagr.am/p/DZi_Y92JvVT/

I may have overcommitted to this bit. #pilotsofinstagram #swisschocolate #avgeek instagr.am/p/DZYT1w8pUJC/

Do Air Traffic Controllers work the same positions every shift? Yes, and no. #airtrafficcontrol #avgeek #pilotsofinstagram (plus some bonus merch at the end) linktr.ee/PropHatCat instagr.am/p/DWEwJggkQap/

What’s one way you can catch an air traffic controller off guard? Start spelling fixes for a reroute. #airtrafficcontrol #avgeek #pilotsofinstagram instagr.am/p/DVL8U7hkXc1/

How does air traffic control know when to descend a pilot? #airtrafficcontrol #avgeek #pilotsofinstagram instagr.am/p/DTdP1Q4kdj-/

She grew up in Goa. She dreamed big. And she made it here! Here's Keziah Fernandes, Fly91’s first woman pilot, telling her story the way only she can. #Pilots #PilotsofInstagram #AviationCareers #WomenEmpowerment #Fly91

Every aviator remembers the first time the sky stopped feeling distant — and started feeling like home. At Fly91, we’re building an airline that keeps that feeling alive! If you’re an ATR Line Released Captain, come fly with a team that values people as much as planes. 📧 Apply at careers@fly91.in #Fly91 #Aviation #AviationCareers #AviationJobs #PilotHiring #PilotsOfInstagram #Pilots

Off again to Tokyo, this is becoming my second home ✈️ On long flights like this, we normally plan great circle routings, the shortest distance between two points on the globe (think of stretching a string across a globe rather than a flat map). But current airspace restrictions mean our routes aren’t quite as direct as we’d like, adding some extra planning challenges (and a little more flying time). Oh and weird routing squiggles. The real fun, though, comes at the other end. Tokyo Haneda’s Runway 22 LDA approach is the showstopper here. An LDA (Localizer Directional Aid) approach is a precision-like procedure that guides you towards a point offset from the runway. In this case, the final track is about 55° off the runway centreline. Why? To keep aircraft over Tokyo Bay as long as possible before turning final, reducing noise pollution for the millions of people who call Tokyo home. It’s a 2D or non-precision instrument approach leading you to a point near the runway, but not aligned with it meaning the final segment is flown visually. The pilots also control the rate of descent (not an electronic glide path). Think of it as Tokyo’s answer to Hong Kong Kai Tak’s legendary checkerboard approach, except here you swap the skyscrapers for water, and the turn onto final is a little less dramatic! And the go-around? That’s the unusual part. Instead of powering straight ahead like most airports, you swing into a 180° turn and head back the way you came, not your everyday missed approach procedure. Tokyo Haneda itself is a gem, one of the busiest airports in the world, located just 15 km from central Tokyo. For passengers it means quick access to the city, and for us pilots it means some of the most interesting flying anywhere in the world. Flying into Tokyo never gets old — it’s challenging, rewarding, and absolutely beautiful on a clear day. 🌅 #A350 #TokyoHaneda #PilotLife #AviationDaily #GreatCircle #AvGeek #FlyingHigh #Airbus #LongHaulPilot #FlightDeckViews #AviationPhotography #AvGeekery #PilotsofInstagram #CockpitViews #Approach #JapanAviation #TravelJapan #HanedaAirport #AirlinePilot
