I hear it’s also very quiet inside. But on the outside not so much. Very high pitch sound when handling those on the platform. The Italian air forces visit us at our air base in the Netherlands regularly

Is BoldMethod a reputable source for primary training material now that that moron Swayne Martin moved on to the airlines? Or is it still full of questionable and dangerous advice?

Plane strikes routinely occur. Minor aircraft strikes while taxiing, such as wingtip strikes or minor contact with obstacles, are relatively common and often involve minor damage, but can be serious if not handled correctly. Aviation Safety Magazine found an average of 50 taxi accidents per year involving pilots striking stationary objects or being knocked over by wind, according to a study. These incidents often occur due to misjudging taxiway alignment, inadequate communication, or rushing through the taxi process, according to Boldmethod. Examples of Minor Taxi Strikes: Wingtip Strikes: A common occurrence, particularly on large aircraft, where the wingtip brushes against another aircraft or structure. Obstacle Strikes: Aircraft striking taxiway lights, buildings, or other objects during taxi maneuvers. Taxiway Deviations: Aircraft veering off pavement and becoming stuck in mud or grass, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. Factors Contributing to Minor Taxi Strikes: Poor Communication: Lack of clear communication between pilots, ground crews, and air traffic control can lead to misinterpretations and collisions. Rush and Inattention: Rushing through the taxi process, especially in complex airport environments, can lead to mistakes. Improper Taxiing Techniques: Taxiing too fast, failing to maintain proper clearance, or not anticipating turns can contribute to incidents. Safety Measures to Prevent Minor Taxi Strikes: Training and Procedures: Pilots receive training on taxiing techniques and procedures to minimize the risk of collisions. Communication and Coordination: Clear and concise communication between all parties involved is crucial. Taxiway Lighting and Markings: Well-maintained taxiway lighting and markings help pilots navigate and avoid obstacles. Anticollision Aids: While not universally implemented, some aircraft are equipped with systems to assist pilots in determining wingtip paths while taxiing, according to BEA.Aero. In Summary: While minor taxi strikes are relatively common, they can have serious consequences if not handled properly. By emphasizing training, communication, and proper taxiing techniques, the aviation industry strives to minimize the risk of these incidents.

Rotor Floater developed a specialized gear box that slows the helicopter's rotor blade to allow the ejection seat to safely pass through. And to ensure minimum exposure to the blades, the specially designed ejection seat achieves a maximum velocity of Mach 19 - fast enough to pass through the blades in 0.002 seconds. "That speed is a little hard on the pilots, but helicopter pilots are a tough bunch, so we figure they can handle it." Can you handle Mach 19?✈️ 📸 by @Boldmethod Not an ad

See this is what I hate about BoldMethod / SkY gOd SwAyNe MaRtIn. Instead of “fly the fucking airplane and land ASAP”, dude thinks you should do a little light reading 🙄

There's a lot of red tape for pilots wanting to perform maintenance on planes they own/operate. @Boldmethod shares what preventative maintenance certificated pilots can do. boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/… If you want to go beyond that list, it might be time to consider becoming an A&P.
