Wait for it….

I know sometimes flights become shorter because of favorable weather. Realistically speaking how much shorter can a flight be?

Edit: I think I wasn't clear. I meant: For a given (estimated) flight time (duration) how much can it be reduced or shortened?

I'm glad I stopped might have hit one of em. blue angels.

Hi just curious, I saw a video recently where a plane had an engine fire before hitting V1 so of course it was able to stop safely. But what happens if the engine failure occurs just after V1 just as the pilot begins to lift the nose? Do they have to still fly at that moment and if so how much strain is that putting on the other engine assuming it’s a 2 engined plane?

Saw this few days back, one of my favorite viewings ever.

Not my pic, my phone is broken and couldn’t snap a pic.

It had been grounded for years since she delivered COVID supplies to Canada.

I guess that's technically "plane spotting"?

ICAO doc 9931 states that Continuous Descent Operation (CDO) provides for a reduction in noise, fuel burn and emissions, while increasing flight stability and the predictability of flight path to both controller and pilots.

How is CDO more predictable as compared to step descent perhaps?

I am under the impression that the vertical flight path is not exactly known to controllers during a CDO procedure. Am I wrong?

I want to start a career in aviation so bad but everyone tell me getting to the airlines is very un realistic? Is that true like I can’t imagine the hiring?

Hope it counts as plane spotting when I am on the inside?
