How to Achieve Human Flight Using a Wingsuit | eHow.com - 0 views

  •  
    This article provides information about how you can fly using a wingsuit. While some may consider this to be an extreme form of skydiving, many consider it to be a form of flying. In any case, it is the closest a human can get to flying like a bird, or at least a flying squirrel, and not be part of any aircraft. Here we provide a discussion about this unusual form of human flight.

Flying cars of the future: Why they won't be cars at all | Verdict - 1 views

  •  
    when Blade Runner was released in 1982, Ridley Scott introduced us to a dystopian vision of what Los Angeles could look like in 2019. Amongst the cyborgs, video phones and AI of this world were Spinners - flying cars. Now that we've caught up to 2019, it looks like that vision of flying cars wasn't too far off.

Instrument Rating: Use it to Your Advantage - Disciples of Flight - 0 views

  • I’ve heard many accomplished pilots with multiple ratings say they found the Instrument rating the most challenging to achieve. Getting an IFR ticket takes time, brains, and money. So I’m always surprised how many pilots, having gone through all the effort and expense to earn their instrument rating, fail to use it much.
  • There are times when you might consider using your IFR rating even when the weather is technically VFR. Filing, flying, and remaining IFR won’t just keep you proficient; it may someday save you from an FAA violation, spatial disorientation, or a tragic CFIT accident.

  • Enroute, even on a daytime VFR flight, you could encounter haze, smoke, marine layers, or flat light on snow-covered terrain, all of which can cause you to lose reference to the horizon. A fellow up here in Idaho was flying over a frozen, snow-covered lake on a gray day with no horizon and literally flew his plane into the snow. He had no idea how low he was, similar to a glassy-water situation for a seaplane. Fortunately, he was fine, although his plane was totaled.
  • Weather that is technically VFR but actually marginal can fool you on departure or arrival, as well.
